The Value of FarnI,ard Manure

This must vary according to the system
adopted; "it il certain that man must
not expect the same increase of crops from
washed and dccaycd straw, as his neighbor,
whose manure is made under cover, and
contains the essence OF cake and corn. DR..
Playtalr has compared the body of an
animal TO II turnaCe--thc food is fucl-and
the cNcrcmcnts are the ashes, and the gases
rcSpired from the mouth are OF tho same
composition ~ those which fly up the
chimney of the furnace II the food or fuel
supplied to an animal be abundant and of
rich quality, the manure produced is valua-
BILE; but ifthe food is indifferent, too watery
as white turnips, or too woody as straw, or
if supplied scantily or insutlicently, the
manure is almost valuclcsS, and all the
turning ana heaping up possible will not
render that valuable which was before
almost worthless. The manure of full.
grown animal cannot be 40 much exhausted
as that from young growing animals, to
whlch bone and muscle have to he supplied,
neither can the manure OF working cattle
or milch cows be cquaI 10 that Of tattcning
animals even when kept on the same food"
These considerations lead to the conclu-
sion that tattcnng animals are producers
of the best manure; for, to make an animal
tat for the butcher at profit, 1t must DO
done as quickly "a possible, and in order to
to accomplish that object, it must he amply
supplied with rich, tlcsh-torming food; and
as an animal when almost fat only extracts
from the food q small proportion of tho
nitrogenous matters, coutaiucd. it follows
that the remainder will be elected from the
system, SO that the nearer maturity in aui
NAL is, the richer will be the manure 1t
Is thus bad ccoromy to send animals to the
butcher when only malt fat.
WHAT KINDS OF FOOD To USE WITH STRAW.
According TO a table in the fourth volume
of Bath and West OF Eugland's Society
Journal, the value of different articles of
cattle food is placed thus:

In deciding what to use the relative price
of those articles of food must be taken into
account rs well rs their nutritiyc value
The writer says there is no doubt that it -
more profitable to associate roots, cake and
grain together in the feeding of cattle than
to cndcavor to feed an animal with an
abundance OF roots a,ouc; and, rs in the
experiment of iin>ccd cake and peas, the
most profitable results occur, according to
the foregoing table; so he thinks the cast to
be generally that food OF different ten.
denotes should be amalgauuted, as in the
case here, but oil cake being rclaNatiyo
food, while the peas have AN opposite
tendency.
As To feeding oil cake Prof Ncclckcr is
OF opinion that We may fairly expect three
tourths of the nitrogcniccd matter Of oil
cake back again in the manure, and perhaps
onc-halt of the money value of rape OF the
best cotton cake; and Prof Anderson re-
marks that ~ series Of experiments appeared

third or onc-iuurth OF the money value, anf

clusion that 10 obtain good manure our

ESCAPE OF MoRGAN.-We are informed by the
telegraph that that notorious brigand, John
Morgan, has dug his way out of the Ohio Peni-
Tertiary, and has arrived safe in that asylum of
rebels and copperheads, Canada. This bit Of
news was rather a severe test for pious patriot.
1t seems strange that, considering the convicts
who have from time to time boarded OF that
institution, we are not more familiar with such
escapes. But so it is; and the only inference
can get is that some villainous, hell deserv-
ing Copperhead has had hand in it. The
Government ought to take old Medary and hold
him as a hostage.

Y HEAVY SSow.-From Salina to Fort Larned
the whole country is covered with snow to the
depth of fifteen inches. The coach left Fort
Larned last Sunday morning, and the Santa Fe
mail had not arrived then. The snow is worse
beyond Larned, and as the team driving out Of
LArned runs one hundred and fifty miles without
changing, it may be presumed that the passen-
gers are in rather undesirable fix. The coach
coming in past through snow seven and eight
feet deep, and all the ravines are drifted tc q
level. The buffalo will all die off if it does not
soon melt away. We hear that many hunters
have suffered terribly in consequence-many
having their feet SO badly frozen that they may
lose them. while there are others out who have
not been heard from, and fears are entertained
for their safety.

COMPANY 3d." OF THE NINTH REGMENr.-We
have received private letter from this company,
from which We learn that the boys feel rather
sore over the charge that they broke open the
Jail at Marysvlle. The writer says that Governor
Carney shows disposition TO give them some
trouble about it, but he does not think it can be
proven that any one of their company did the
mischief The Big Blue Union comes to hand,
containing number of affidavits in regard to
Che matter, but they don't amount to any thing
mot one of them swears positively that company
"B" did it. The Union intimates that other
parties than company "B" were engaged in it,
but Withhold Ids names and charges. Now, why
abuse soldiers, and allow '' other parties to go
free? We must confess it is about as the writer
says, "poor encouragement to soldier" The
company is now at Kansas City.

the following, which may or may not nave
fact FOR its basis:

days propositions of peace have been in
troduced to the consideration of the Cab

not yet permitted to know, nor whence
they come. The only fact in the premises
communicated is that peace propositions
have been brought before the Cabinet; but
from this single fact, in connection with the
present reduced and hopeless condition of
the rebellion, we are encouraged to an

Save the Union by Destroying
that which it was Formed to
Perpetuate.

We find in one Of our exchanges the fol
lowing ''local" item: "One day last week
tesmster backed his horse into the river,
and by tying rope around his neck, suo-
ceeded in saving him from drowning, but
chOked him to death"
The administration has borrowed very
unfortunate hint from this, and similar SAINT
tary experiments. 1t adopts in its broadest
its most unlimited sense, the adage: The
safety of the Republic is the Supreme
LaS," and is proceeding with most fatal
Zeal tc SAGE it, by destroying in detail, every
element of that free government, which
constitutes Republic Kill off every
able bodied man, but save the Union. De.
stroy the South, but save the Union. Pile
up the debt beyond all hope of redemption,
but save the Union. Keep the war going
on twenty years, to abolish slavery, but
save the Union. Suspend the only protec-
ton against tyranny, the habeas corpus,
but save the Union. Stife free speech, the
Press, the Courts, and the Ballot, but save
the Union Give US Dictator, but save
the Union.
Bah this is the very sublime of mad,
ness, Hypocrisy and folly. These people
don't IRISH to save the Union; if they did, Tho
louisiana Planters would have been needed
ALEXANDER STEPHENS would have been Is
tened to. The movement IN North Caro-
lima would have met a response, and such
men as CHANDLER, WADE and WHIT!NG
be cast overheard. The advice of the
Statesmen aud Patriots OF the Country
would be listened to in lieu Of tho chatter
ing of the GREELEYs the PHILLIpsEs and the
GARRIsoNS.
They wish to saue their party at the ex
pense of the country and its liberties
They care about saving nothing else. /
