Two Heaps of Manure.

The lesson inculcated by the following
from the pen Of the Hon. +. Holbrook, in
the Neao England Farmer, is one of great
value to the thinking farmer. How true is
the remark of Mr.. Coke, late Earl of Lei
cester; That the value of farm-yard ma
nure is in proportion to what it is made Of.
1T cattle eat straw alone, the dung is straw
alone the cattle are straw, the farm is
straw, and the farmer is straw--they are
all straw together. Not long ago had
four COWS come up to the stable in the fall.
which | thought might yield a good supply
OF milk through the winter, if well fed
also had four other animals, cows and heif-
crs, which were not expected to give much
milk till the following grass season. The
first four were tied in the stable side by
side, and received each, in addition 10 hay
and stalks, four quarts Of small pototoes
each morning. and two quarts of corn and
oatmeal each evening, through the winter
As We expected, they gave good mess of
milk, and came out well in the spring. The
manure Of these four cows was thrown out
a stable window, under the cattle-shed by
ITSELF
The other four animals were tied in the
same stable, next to the first four, and re-
ceived only hay and corn fodder. Their
manure was thrown out by itself, at the
next stable window, and under the same
shed, SO that the two heaps lay side by side.
The heap made by the four cows that we're
daily messed with potatoes and meal, kept
hot and smoking all winter, and was wholly
free from frost. The heap made by the
other animals that had only hay and stalks,
showed no signs Of fermentation, and was
somewhat frozen. Observing this differ
enee from time to time, curiosity prompted
me in the spring TO apply these two heaps
OF manure separately, but in equal quanti-
ties side by side, on piece of corn ground.
The superiority of the corn crop, where the
manure from the messed cattle was appli-
ed, over that where the other heap was
spread, was quite apparent and striking
and called my attention more directly, TO
the importance of fe' ding out our best or
richest products, if we would have the best
kind of manure for our lands, and large
crops for them"
