Human Excrement.

This is pronounced by Leibig, and practi-
cal agriculturists, as the best and most vslu-
able of all manur They pronounce it sur
perior to guano, as it contains more of the
ash constituents, or inorganic matter of plants
It Is said to be superior to all other manures;
not only on account of the increase of the
crop, but permanently maintaining a soil at
a high degree of fertility. The amount of
production in China is said to be FIVE fold
over the production of Germany or England,
and ten fold over that of America, arising
from the use of all the privy manure they
make. They support a population, which, &C
eording ito the system of agriculture in tho
latter countries, could not be supported.
Where persons do not have charcoal or
muck, it can be composted with earth, a well
pulveFized clay loan, or mari.

Salt for the Throat

In these days when diseases of the throat
are so prevalent, and 50 many cases fatal, tbs
use of common salt Is Recommended as an
e~fcctual remedy. A sufferer says.
We commenced by using it three times a
day-morning, neon, and night. We dissOl-
we'd q large tablespoonful Of pure table salt
water. With this we gargle the throat most
thoroughly just before meal time. The re-
suit has been that during the entire Winter
we-were not only free from the usual coughs
and colds to which, so Ear as our memory ex-
tends wo have always been subject but the
dry hacking cough has entirly disappeared.

CoPARTNERsHIP PIa.-We extract the
following funny cOpartnership transaction,
rom the Boston Courier;
a Yankee and a Feenchman owned a pig
IN copartnership. When killing time
ze, they wished to divide the meat; the
1znk was very anxious to divide SO that
heSOld get both hind quarters, and persuad-
ed the Frenchman that the way to divide
was to cut it across the back. The French
man agreed to it, on condition that the Yam
kee would turn his back, and take the choice
of the pieces after it was cut in two. The
Yankee turned his back accordingly.
Frenchman-"V ich will you have, re
piece rid re tail on, or re piece vidOut &c
tail ont"
Yankee-"The piece with the tail on"
Frenchman-"Zen, by garl you can take
him, and 1 take re ozer one"
Upon turning round, the Yankee found
that the Frenchman had cut of the tail and
stuck it in the pigs mouth.

how He STARTED THEM.-A preacher

In an instant the whole congregation was

How to Teach our Cattle bad Habits.


We are too apt to underrate the intolli-
gence of the domestic animals under our
charge and yet q moments reflection
should teach every farmer that cows, horses,
sheep and pigs are very apt pupils; and
most farmers and farmers boys are quite pro-
fcient in teaching them to do mischief
Thus we find many persons, when turning
stock into or out Of pasture instead of letting
down all the bars, leave two or three of the
lower rails in their in their place; and then,
by shouting or beating perhaps, force the
animals to leap over. This is capital train
ing, the results of which are seen in the aft
er disposition of the animals to try their
powers of jumping, where q top rail hap
pens to be of, and this accomplished, to set
all fences at defiance, and make q descent
upon the corn or grain field, as their ~inclina-
zion, ability or hunger may prompt them
Another good lesson is to open a gate but $
little way, and then, as in case of the bars,
force the cattle forward, and by threats and
blows, compel them to pass through it. The
result of this teaching is shown in the de-
termined spirit manifested by some cattle to
make a forcible entry into stables, yards,
fields, or in fact, t6almost every place where
q gate or door may. by accident, be left
slightly open.
1t may be set down as q fixed rule, that the
most troublesome cattle In the country, are
those which belong to careless farmers
We attribute this partly TO the facts above
referred to. but more particularly to the
more striking one still, that they are not
properly fed if you want to max good jump
ers of your cattle, halfstarve them, and your
object viii be most efectuslly accomplished,
especially if, in connection with the stsrv-
ing process, you compel them to jump three
of the bar-ralls or force them through a half
open gateway or door. We think ourselves
perfectly safe in saying that the jumping
proclivities of cattle are, IN nine cases out
of ten, the results of the causes we have
named and the most ~effectual and certain
remedy for this bad habit, is first to feed
them so well, that they will not be tempted
to jump into your corn or gram fold. Sec
ond. When you wish them to pass through
bars, down all the Ioleer rails, and leave the
top one in its place, provided the cattle can
pass under it without injury to their backs
Third. Always make it q point to open the
gates or doors through which they are to pass
to their full width, or at least so much that
the animals can get through without difficult
ty or danger of having the skin torn. These
simple rules observed, you need fear no
jumping cattle. If, in spite of them, you
find, as is sometimes the case that an unruly
member of your flock or herd will still jump,
your best and only plan is to send it to the
butchers, for as zone fool makes many" so
one jumping animal on 6 farm will make
jumpers of many others, who, but for the
bad example. would have remained peacea-
bic and well disposed.-FaTzner & Gardiner.
