ACCUMULATION OF MATERIALS FOR MANURE.
Employ as many teams and hands as you
eau spare In the collection Of such rough ma
terials as may be convertible into manure, and
in the formation of them into compost heaps,
from now until the frost is too intense to admit
of such labor. Now, we know that there Is
prevalent opinion that the making of compost
heaps is not profitablei but, In defiance Of that
opinion, we are induced from experience to
aver that in such formations true economy
exists. five are asked in what such rough
materials should consist, we would say that
the gatherer cannot well go amlss, and we will
name few of the many articles that NAV be
converted into manure, viz: Pine skaters,
mould and leaves from the woods, road and
ditch scrapings, marsh-mud, rver-mud, creek
mud, weeds, the earth from headlands, corn
stalks aud all kindred substances. Let one
foot Of these substances, in depth, be spread
on the field to which you may intend to apply
thennext spring, over these spread 10 busheis
of Stacked ashes for every 20 loads of the mass,
then put on another body of the materials and
a similar quantity of Stacked ashes, and so on
until you get the heap about 4 feet high. In
forming the heap give it a cone-like shape. In
the spring shovel over the heap so as to mix
the several substances together and equalize
the virtue of the manure, and We think we
hazard nothing in saying that you will find the
mass highly charged. with fertilizing matters.
