WASTE NOT, WANT NOT"

to the farm, aud its bank deposits. Man.
ure heaps arc the sub treasures Of the
farming interest. Waste Of manure is
waste of wealth Every miner who digs
for gold must dig in the dirt. But the
farmer first deposites the gold in the ground,
and afterwards digs it out with increase
The gold he plants, he gathers from the
sources Of consumption and dacay, where
carelossness may leave loss.
Wisdom is wealth time is money and
equally SO manure is money to the farmer.
Where shall we dig for richesy Where
shall we go and gather up wealth "Go to
the ant, thou sluggard; ;" 60 to the squirrel,
thou sp endthrift; go to the manure.com-
poster,j thou foolish farmer, who hast
nursod poverty, by working a hungry soil,
and getting nothing, because you gave moth
ing as basis of production.
Gather it at the stable. Mix well the
solid droppiGgs Of the COW with twice its
bulk Of meadow muck; mouey in mud
loan will serve good wurpose, if nothing
better can be had. Pine leaves ore almost
priceless 10 the compost, And be very
sure, if 10 great loss would be allowed, to
put enough dry peat, old rotten straw, or
other substance suited to the purpose, to
take up all the liquid that she voids--
Take like care, also, Of the voiding Of the
OK and younger cattle. The noble horse,
well fed, well used, furnishes much matoD
rial to mix with muck three times the
r measure Of his solid excrements, with dry
peat, sawdust or old straw, spinkled with
old brine, plaster, refuse salt, to save the
urine-money from many things made
into manure.
Gather pile from the pig pen. Piggy
does not appropriate much for muscle, from
the Fat of his feeding, but pours out big
bottles Of ammonincal liquor to magnify
the manure heap. The gift is great one,
and never to be dispisod by the man of
aourishing farm. Pile the pine scrapings
into his pen, with old leaves, loads of loan,
and let him make bis mark as a manufac,
turer and he will DO it in defiance Of war
Or tariffs. Piggy's first work in the world
is to provide for the corn crop, and when
that comes in, in lusty loads, he will con-
sent to be put into pork, for the benefit Of
princes or paupers.
Gather gold from the hen. house. Pile
che peat under the hen rost scatter ashes
lightly over, or old lime, and saturato it
with slops from the chamber, and repeat
the same often, layer, upon layer, mixing
it all well before each fresh addition OF
muck or peat 1t will be cheaper than
poudrette from Lodi, and as rich as a
California quartz gold mine.
Gather gold from the sink drain. The
suds and grease chat 60 away there, contain
gold; gather it up for The garden grounds
mix it with muck, or carry it to the cua-
rant bushes, on almost anywhere to feed
she growing corps, and gold will grow out
of it,
Save the suds from the wash room.
There are wonders Of wealth in such min
eral wa5ers. They are good for sickly
cabbages, melons, pears, spuashss and
tomatoes. They make all growing things
to glisten in the glory of their growth.
Save the slops from chambers. Wacte
is as wicked there as anywhere. Nam need
not pride himself above producing his por-
lion of the food ofplants; he was made Of
earthly matter, air and water, and wastes
these daily from himself, in substance for
the food Of vegetation. "Wa5te not, want
