MAKING AND SAVING MANUREs.-In a re-
cent meeting of the Legislative Agricultural
Club of Connecticut, this subject was under
discussion, and there a very unanimous
concurrence in the opinion, that the value of
barn-yard manure is much increased by keep
ing it under cover. Barnyards washed by ev-
cry rain, and manure heaps subject to the rain
and to the sunshine lose vast amounts of their
valuable constituents. One of the speakers
stated that he had made fifty to seventy loads
of manure from two hogs. He uses anything
that can grow in one season-mulens, brush,
alders, etc. All such material will rot in a
hog pen /; makes more manure in his hog-p
than in the yard, and keeps his yard manure
as much under cover as possible.
