Soar SuDs-A correspondent of the Ger.
man,own Telegraph says The value of this
article as O stlmulant o! vegetable life, can
not be too highly appreciated. 1t contains
the alment Of plants in a state of ready solu-
tion, and when applied, acts not only with
immediate and obvious effect, but with a
sustained energy which pertains to few even
Of the most concentrated manures. When it
is not convenient to apply it in irrigation,
the most economical method, perhaps, o!
using tit should be absorbed by some ma
teEial which may be used as on Ingredient in
the compost heap. SoGs, muck and other
similar articles, should be deposited when the
suds from :he sink and laundry may find its
way to them, and be absorbed for the benefit
OF crops. In this way several loads OF mo-
nure, suitable for the support and sustenance
OF any crop, may be made at comparatively
small expense. The highly putrescent char
acter of this fermentable liquid qualify it
admirably for the irrigation Of compost heaps
of whatever materials composed. Being
poten. fertiliser, it must of necessity, impart
additional richness to almost any material to
which it mas be added. Try it, and mark
the results.

is going home. There is hardly any money
in tue country. AS for gold, | have seen
some, but it is not plentiful yet. Next yeur
will be better than this for making money
here. There are sixteen mills in this gulch,
aud as soon as they get to work, times will
be little better. | have not been two yards
from my tent since ] came here. 1t is an
awful hard life here, and have got enough

here, has to work like fits" and then, if they
DO not get sick and die, they are well off.
