Of natiopsl glory we have achieved; our
honor and dignity abroad, our peace aud
security at home. Under 1t We have be-
come mighty people. Our prosperity
hath become as boubdless and endless as
the sea, our wealth as multiplied as lts
rushing waves. Our population has in
creased with a rapidity unparalleled. Our
borders have extended from ocean to
ocean. and from lake to sea. Under it
God hath indeed blessed us with unspar.

The laws Of our country are good laws.
They have guarantee ed to us our civil lib.
ertles; they have protected us in our per.

10 our rights, social, civil, religious and
political. They have defended us
from enemies a. home and enemits

citizen has been as secure in all his rights,
as uDtrammelled in all his liberties, as
the proudest nobls ip the land of Kings.

Hen Manure.

Guano and stable manure, and ground
bones and some Of the honestly made lertil-
izers are valuable, and should be used when.
ever they can be obtained, but none Of them
are better than the droppings Of the poultry
house Farmers have been known to sell
this article to tanners for twelve and half
cents a bushel, while it is worth nearer dol
lar. 1t has been estimated to be worth $50
a tun, ca | IL cents per pound, which is
probably not far olt OF the way, as compared
with other standard fertilizers AS our do
nestle fowls are commonly fed on large
proportion Of vegetable food, their manure is
not as powerful as Peruvian guano. If they
lived chiefly on meat or fish and similar con-
centratcd food their droppngs would be as
valuable, pound for pound, as the best guano.
10 save this manure in the best way, the
floor should be sprInkled every few days with
plaster, and then swept clean once fort.
night, gathering up the mixture in barrels,
and covering it until wanted for use. Just
before planting and hoeing time comes, mix
this manure with an equal quantity Of leach

And here, we are reminded Of an expert
mcnt which occurred within our knowledge
A farmer, whose stock el barl.manure was
not quite large enough for his whcat-fcld as
last resort, went to ha poultry.house, swept
it clean (and it had not been cleaned for six
months mixed the droppings with mucky
soil, aid sowed it broadcast over the unma.

plainly visible. As soon as mild weather
sci in, the patch took the lead of the field
It's bright green color and vigorous growth

The hcn-house is no hobby Of ours, but
we think it is generally UNDERMINED We
see every year in coin.felds, kitchen gardens
and ornamental grounds enough to convince
Us that this is one Of our best fertilizers. Let
US not send our money abroad for manures,
until We have used ali that we have at home.
Ii any one does not wish the trouble OF saw
ing and applying this manure as we have
just recommended, let him by all means
gather it up at frequent intervals, and mix
It with the dung heap 10 the barn yard. This
will add much to its value.

no spare room there. There were several
IN his dwelling. But the barn was always
crammed-it was kind of mammoth saus-
age stuffed every year. So there was no
room for special apartment for the tools.
In his Imagination he never saw his Loes

certainly he was never anxious for such

Why?
His IatAer nerer had a tool house, and his

A Crack in the Hog Trough.

Some time ago, friend sent me word that
he gave, every day nearly twenty pals of
butter-mik to lot of shoats, and they
scarcely improved bit OH it. Thinks |,
this is breed OF hogs worth secng-they
must be Of the sheet-iron kind; so called
on him, heard him repeat the mourniul tale,
and then visited the sty. In order to get a
closer Wow Of the miraculous swine, went
into the pen, and on close examination found
a crack IL the trough, through which much
OF the contents ran away und the floor.
Thinks |, here is u type OF mucl of the
failures and misfortunes of our agricultural
brethren. When | see farmer emitting all
Improvements because Of little cost, sell
ing all bis good farm stock to buy bank or
railroad, or mortgage stock, robbng himself
and heirs, thinks |, Fly friend you have a
crack in your hog-trough
When | see farmer subscribn, for BALI
dozen political and miscellaneous papers
and spending all his leisure reading them,
while he don't read a single agricultural or
horticultural journal, thinks to myself,
poor man, YOU have got large and wide
crack IN your hog.trough.
When | see farmer attending to all the
political conventions, and coming down lib
orally with the dust on all caucus occasions,
knowing every man who votes his ticket
and yet to save he neck couldn't tell who is
President Of the Cou ty Agricultural Socc
ty, or where the Fair was held last year. |
unanimously come to the conclusion that
the poor soul has got a crack in his hog
trough
When | see a farmer bnying guano, bul
wasting ashes and hen manure, aud trying al
sorts Of experiments except intellectual hard
work and economy getting the choicest
seeds, regardless Of Gu iyation or good sense;
growing the variety of fruit called Sour
Tart Sc, ding, and sweeteniog it with sugar
pound Tor pound keeping the front fields
rich aud neat, while the back lots are over
grown with elder, briars, snap.dragon, and
thistle; contributing literally to the Choc-
taw Indian Fund, and never giving cent to
any Agricultural Society-such man, |
will give written guarantee, has got crack
both in his head and in his hog-trough.
When see farmer whose hogs are SO
lean that they have to lean against the fence
to sustain thems"'voe while squealiug
rather lean to the conclusion that somebody
that stays at home will have lien on the
farm, aud sometime the bottom will come
entirely out of the hog trough.-Orange
