How to Dispose of Dead Animals.

On almost every farm, one or more large an
imal-a horse, cow, or bullock-des in the
course of each year; and every farm loses pigs,
calves or sheep in the same period. The dispo-
sition of the carcase is frequently source of
perplexity to the farmer. If large stream is
convenient, they are frequently thrown into it,
TO offend the sense of sight and SMELL as we'll
as pollute the waters. Occasionally, the de-
funct animal is buried but more frequently
it is dragged to the nearest woods, where it rots,
impregnates the atmosphere with offensive smells
and furnishes rich feast TO the crows and buz-
yards. This is all wrong, and in these days of
high prices, the manurial value of dead horse
or COW is too great to justify such waste. Ma
ny farmers will sell a worn out horse to the
tanner boy for half dollar, while the actual
worth of the carcase, for manure, is ten times
that amount. Every particle Of it-hair, hide,
hoofs bones, fesh-will assist in adding to the
value of crops
The easiest and most profitable method of
disposing of a carcase is, to cover it thickly
with fresh soil, with which portion of quick
lime has been mixed. After thorough decom-
position has taken place, the whole mass should
be made into a compost, with fresh soil, after
which it is ready for application to the soil.
1t is stated by DR., Wilson ''that every pound
of animal flesh will impregnatc ten pounds of
vegetable mould or, taking our soils as they
---l7 e 81,
wool, horn, &C., can fertiIIze three hundred
pounds of common loam." These are striking
and well authenticated facts, and they appeal
with powerful force to the farmer, who hither-
to has permitted this valuable fertilizing Late
rial to go to waste.

THE TWO HARVESTS.
pru7221 BY

Look forth On the harvesti the reaper is ready
And soon the brown sheaves will be bound by his
arm;
The yellow grain waves, and the breeze blowing
steady,
Sweeps owe: the fields of the wide spreading farm.
The ripe stems are broken and cut by the sickle,
Each with care is collected and bound -
Where rich stalks stood bendng like trees in for
est,
Nought is seen but the stubble, and bare is the
ground.
They are gone, they are gathered, the harvest is
over
The garhers are stored rom the >heaves OF the
field;
Above the dead stuSbles will soon wave the clover,
And the rich ground again new mantle will yield.
Now the farmer rejoice for their treasure is gath
cred,
And soon JOY and plenty shall crown the full board;
Then love shall enkindie the smiles of the reaper
For Contentment and Peace with the harvest are
stored.
But, behold, in the South msw harvest preparing
There thousands moving o'er field and by food,
Black vultures, like reapers, thther repairing
But the reaper is DEATH and the harvest is blood
The sword is his sickle, and thousands falling
Aye, thousands will fall ere the contest is o'er
They cry not for mercy, nor to God are they cahng
But their voices drowned by the cannon's loud
Yes, gone is the husband, and gone is tie lover,
A!e, gone like the past TO return
And sad is the day when the harvest is over,
For few will rejoice, but millions will mourn.
Aye, down goes the flag in the shock of he battle
And down 90 he horse, the 1iler and all;
Wide over the field "the cannon's loud ratte''
Shall drown the rude shock, and the noise of the
fall.
the pr"ad neGds Where the reaper has pass
ed
In thousands, behold them, in blood they are lying
But the reaper sweeps like the rush OF the blast
Oh God stay the reaper end check the fierce fray,
| Roll back the dark clouds, let the loud Ihundels
cease;
! Drive Thou the dark phantoms that haunt us away;
| hrough the light of Thy glory bring to peace.
Then Thy temples once shall be opened in
| love,
The demon of discord to his dungeons shall fly
And never come forth, till called from above,
WhenGabriei's last trumpet shall sound in the sky.

CAMP OF Ist u. S. CoLoRED TRoors,
WILSON'S LANDING, CHARLES CRY Co,

CAMP OF Ist u. S. CoLoRED IRoors,
WILSON'S LANDING, CHARLES CRY Co, !
Nay 10, 1864.
Mr.. Eostor-You are aware that Wilson'S
Landing is on the James River, few miles a
boye Jamestown, the very spot where the hrst
sons of Africa were landed, in the year $40,
if my memory serves me right, and from that
day up TO the breaking out of the rebellion was
looked upon as an inferior race by all civiizeL
nations. But behold what has been revealed N
the past three or four years; why, the colored
meu have assembled upon platform OF equality,
and the slave now apply the lash to the ten
der flesh of his master, for tins day am now
an eyewitness of the fact. The country being
principally inhabited by wealthy farmers there
are great many men in the regiment who are
refugees from this place. While on foraging
expedition we captured Mr.. Clayton, noted
Rebel in this part of the country, and from his
appearance one OF the L. +. V's; on the day
before we captured several colored women that
belonged to Mr. c.. who had given them most
unmerciful whipping previous to their departure,
On the arrival of Mr.. G. in camp, the COM
manding officer determined to let the women
have their revenge, and ordered Mr.. &. to be
tied to u tree in front of headquarters, and w.
Harris, a soldier in our regiment, and member
of company E, who was acquainted with the
gentleman, and who used to belong to him, was
called upon to undress him, and introduce him
to the ladies that mentioned before Mr.. dar-
ris PLAYED his part conspicuously, bringing tile
blood from his ioins at every stroke, and not
forgetting to remind the gentleman of days gone
by After giving him some I5 or 20 well-di-
rected strokes the ladies, one after another came
up and gave him like number, to remind him
that they, were no longer his, but safely housed
in Abrahams bosom, and under tIs protection
of the Star SpangIed Banner, and guarded by
their own patriotic, though down-trodden race
Oh that had tlie tongue to express my feel
ings while standing upon the baill-5 OF the Jas
River, on the soil of Virginia, the mother State
of slavery, as witness of such sudden reverse !!
The day is clear, the fields of gram are beau
;iful, anG the birds singing sweet, melo o,Ious
songs, while poor Mr.. G. IS crying to his ser
wants for mercy Let all who sympathize witt
the south take this narrative for mirror.
Yours, truly, q. W! H.

DINNER TO THE RESERvES.-Ihc entertain
ment OF the Pennsylvania Reserves by our citi-
zens yesterday was a complete success, and fur
nished another evidence of the patriotism lib
erality and hospitality of tho people of Harris
burg. From five to six hundred of the heroes
of the Reserve Corps dined at the private ta-
bles of citizens, and not only met with a heart
warm welcome, but were handsomely entertain
ed. Col. Fisher and staff were the guests of
Mayor Roumfort, and that they ''fared sump-
tuously" and were made to feel at home. none
who know his Honor will doubt The taking
of these soldiers to the homes Of the people, and
sitting them around their Widespread boards,
was good idea, and will be productive of the
most beneficial results. Within few DAYS we
have had unmistakab!e evidence of the cordial
feeling established between the soldiers and the
people of this city, by kind treatment, and we
feel confident that the bond of friendship thus
created viii be lasting 1t is to be regretted
that some persons who made ample preparation
for the entertainment of the Reserves were dis
appointed IN not receiving any guests. This,
however, was not the faul of the committee of
arrangements, for after the apportionment had
been made, four or five regiments unexpectedly
left the city, greatly diminishing the number to
be provided for. Colonel Mann, of the Jones
House, with a forethought that did him great
credit, provided a banquet for the sick and woun-
ded at Camp Curtin, and the guard on duty
there. An ample supply of provisions, COM
prising all the luxuries and substantials of the
season, were sent TO the camp about o'clock,
and the recipients of his hospitality, at once
surprised and gratifed, fully appreciated the
ColonePs considerate kindness, and did ample
Justice to the good things so profusely spread be-
fore them. The whole arrangement, from IFS
inception to its close, was highly creditablo TO
our energetic and patriotic Democratic Mayor.
Democratic City Council and the people who
80 nobly seconded their efforts in doing fitting
