SAD ACCIDENT.-Mrs. Sarah Hill,

around an upright shaft which was in the

agricultural Reooinq.
Save and use everything that will
Fertilize.

Many seem slow in learning
this lesson, and therefore it may
be repeated a great many times
without any fear of its inutility
OF inapplicability. This may
probably come under the eye of
many-of some few at least who
never attempt to make the best
possible use of several sources of
fertility around them. Are there
nat great many who, for exam
pie, never save or use their hen
manure? Are there not a great
many who leave their stable and
yard manure to be injured more
than one half by being left ex-
posed to the incessant thefts COM
mitted by the sun, rains and
wind ?
Why does this negligence so
extensively prevail In some,
probably, from a fear Of trouble ;
from lazy disinclination to do
anything that can be let alone, In
most, perhaps, from some vague
idea that it will not pay, or from
the want of a clear and fixed i'm
preston of the actual value Of that
which they are allowing to go to
waste. Every cultivator Of the
-soil knows that the markets of the
world, and the wants of the In
habitants Of the world, are scarce
ly ever supplied to the full, and
that he may add to these supplies
and to the comfort of. many, as
we'll as to his own pecuniary in
come, by almost every addition
to his crops which he can procure
by means of manure and extra
cultivation Of all kinds. With
such inducements before him, ad
ding to the great heap from which
all drew their supplies helping tc
save some from want, and in
creasing the comfort of others
and at the same time augmentine
: his own pecuniary resources
seems that cultivators of the sol
can only be negligent from no
having given their attention t.
these considerations.
Let us take at present the CASE
of hen manure. Bushels and bar
rels of it are allowed to 90 t.
waste every year. Now we may
take for granted that this manure
t is not far behid guano in rea
value. If then guano and othe.
fertilizers are freely bought a
prices which make each pound 0
guanO, or equivalent, cost abou
three cents in cash, why shoulC
) not every pound of hen manure
! be estimated at least two cent
per pound ? And then, again, i
guano, when judiciously used
produces an ample return-oftel
: from 100 to 700 per cent-and
there is good reason, as there is
= to expect as good returns from
hen manure at the price at whicl
, we have put it, how blind to al
considerations which usually sti
men to action must that man b
=, who allows dollars and dollar
-, worth Of domestic guano to 90 t
waste, when,if used it would brin;
him more by tens and hundred
Of times, than the value of tn
: money put at interest.

that jealousy and ill-will already exists

ly the approach of rupture between
the two countries.
