Wasteful Farmers.


Perhaps in nothing are farmers more
wasteful than in the management, or want
Of management of their manure. Should
ore have his granery robbed ev,ry week or
81, of fifteen or twenty dollars worth of
grain, he would make great fuss about it,
and probably offer liberal reward for thu
detection ofthc thief; yet this nan will al
low his manure to lie spread over his cat
tic yard, exposed to the bleaching rains of
Spring which frequently carry more than
the above amount Of the elements Of crop
contained in his manure, forever beyond
his reach-and he allows this waste to oc
cur year after year, as if it was Of no cons:
quencc to him. If this practice was true
only Of the owners of prairie SOL the case
would be different, but it is to be seen in
parts Of the country where manure is most
needed, ye,, where its preservation and
economy in its case is of the utmost lmpor-
lance to the success Of the farmers Farm
ers have been told Of this so often through
the agricultural press that one would think
it need no longer be reiterated. Why is
this? Has the subject became to them such
hackneyed one that they no longer give
attention to it, or do they mostly belong to
the class who take no paper devoted to the
interest of their calling? The voice Of the
agricultural press has for half century or
more been raised against this waste of ma
nure, as well as against the skinnil g pro.
cess Of cultivation SO universally practiced
in many parts of the country. Their emp.
~ barns and granaries should appeal to
them in way not to be misunderstood
Their fields so barren looking, all overrun
with aorrel, should reprove them for such
d,reliction Of duty they owe to their chill
dren and to their country, as well as to
themselves But farmers waste also in the
application Of maIure-putting it on the
ground which needs draining, when hall

ing would produce almost infinitely bette,
results. Again. they will lavish upon
fields already rich, while they have OF hers

impossible almost 10 chang. the course

not only because they are speeulators, but be-
cause their name is legion. Bot We must get
up something practical. In order to come at
something like equality, the suggestion refer

A Lament On the Naval Glory OF
tine North.

The Trioane has the following lament for
the departing naval excellence Of the United
States:
The American navy Id other days achieved
a pro,rdsand worldwide fame, which it seems
re olyed To lose in the present contest. To
the lung lit of its recent disgraces. we have
now to add the capture Of the gunboat India
'nuia, whereby the rebels again become un-
disputed masters Of the Mississippi and. its
tributaries from Vicksburg to Port Hudson.
Of cur war vessels ran BY Vicksburg to sweep
that important stretch Of inland navigation,
the Queen OF the West was captured by
shore battry or Fort, and now the Queen Of
the West has captured the Indiapola. The
measure of our disgrace is com plsle.
