Manuring.

The most essential preparation for a
good crop-especially OF corn-is manure,
or fertilizer OF some kind. lfthe farmer
is sparing in its application, nature will
be equally parsimonious in harvest time
Potatoes, beans, and some other crops
may be grown without manure, and the
former will be Of vastly better quality
though the product be less.
For corn, the best manure is that from
the barnyard. Hog manure is quick in
its action, and forces the ground to yield
vigorous growth though in excessively
dry times, II has q tendency to parch the
ground. When stable manure-by this
we meau that from the neat stock and
horses-can be obtained, let it he freely
used. As substitute there are numer-
Gus fertilizers which greatly facilitate the
growth Of plants, and yield a compensa.
ting harvest.
Night soil is frequently applied 10 our
corn land, and to that appropriated TO the
growing Of early vegetables, as it advan-
ces them With great rapidity, and enables
the producer to furnish them for the mar,
ket at an early day in the season.
Guano is undoubtedly one of the best
among the special and artificial fertilizers
especially for promoting the growth OF
corn and grass. Then we have super
phosphate, tar water from gas works, ash.
es, lime, plaster, aud the like, without the
application of some Of which, r deficient
crop may be expected.
The application of manure will depend
much upon the nature OF the soil, the
time and manner Of pIowing, the after
culture, and other influences, which the
intelligent farmer will see at once.
Stable manure, especially il it is long
or green, should be plowed in, and some
experienced cultivators are inclined to the
opinion thai mo ost descrir tiops Of manures
should be treated in the same way; ordi.
narly, short manure, night soil, compost
| and sometimes others are narrowed in
though they are generally worked in with
the harrow or cultivator.
Our principle is, put or all the manure
you can get plow it in, and with the haF'
row put in two or three cords 20 the acre
Of night soil compost, or an equivalent o
guano. Then, il you don't get corn, We
should recommend you TO sell out and e

Caught on the jury.

The following, which we have heard
told as fact some time ago, is too good
to be lost, and may be beneficial to some
gentleman who has II young unsuspectng
wife:
A certain man, who lived about ten
miles from Il, was in the habit Of 90
ing TO town about once week and get
ting on regular spree, and would not
return until he had time to "cool off,"
which was generally two or three days.
His wife Was ignorant Of the cause Of his
staying out so long, and suffered greatly
from anxiety about bis welfare. When
he would return, Of course his confding
wife would inquire what had been the
matter with him, aud the invariable re-
ply was, ":hat he was caught on the jury
and couldn't get off,
Having gathered his corn and placed it
in large heap, he, according to custom,
determined to call in his neighbors and
have real corn shucking froIic. So he
gave Ned, faithful servant, Jug and
order 10 go to town and get gallon Of
whiskey-a very necessary article on such
occasions. Ned mounted mule and was
soon in town, and equipped with the whis-
key, and re-mounted TO set out for home,
all buoysnt with the prospect Of fun at
the "shuckng."
When he had proceeded few hun
dred yards from town he concluded to Try
the 'stuff," and not satisfied with once
he kept trying until the world turned a
round so fast that he turned off the mule,
and there he went 10 sleep, and the mule
% grazing. 1t was then nearly night,
and when Ned awoke il was just before
the break o day, and so dark that he was
unable to make any start towards home
until daylight. As soon as his bewider-
ment had subsided so that he could get
the point, he started with an empty Jug,
the whiskey having run out, and foot,
fer the mule had gone home. OF course
he was contemplating the application Of
*wo year old hickory or piece of
| twisted cowhide as he went at a rate Of
two foity. Ned reached home before
breakfast time, and fetched up at the
back doos with decidedly guilty coun>
tenance.
