CoMPosTING -uT-SoIL.-The following
from the Utica Heratn =. timely and valuable,
and cannot lie too strongly recommended to
the adoption of every farmer Let each one
calculate for moment how much he loses
in the course of year, by neglecting to fol-
low the advice herein offered-or rather the
practice herein described. Says the editor ;
"When at the ONEIDA Community We saw
an arrangement for composing manures
which could well be adopted by those vino
have made no provision for their purpose.
| 1t consisted in nothing but floor of plank
set upon the ground and over this tempo
rary shed of boards erected with sides open,
the covering intended simply to carry Oft
water falling in rains. Here all the night
soil and refuse matter was collected and
composted with muck, ashes, &c., and by
mixing small. quantities at time and throw
/ ing into heap the mass was rendered indo-
rous and powerful fetilizer obtained at a
trihing expense Night soil composted III
this manure makes valuable application
for garden crops, being more efficient than
BARNARD manures and free from the seeds
of grasses and weeds, which is an important
item, as every one must have observed who
has had much to do in the culture of garden
crops.
"There are few people who fully under
stand the economy OF manures or consider
the vast sums that are annually lost from
sheer wastetulness of fertilzing materials
1T is a good profit says John Johnston, oil
Geneva, to raise 800 bushels of wheat from
ten acres but when it takes thirty acres "a
raise that amount it is raised at loss To
grow large crops, and farm with profit, ma,
nures are required, and it is from want ol
due appreciation or knowledge in the hus
banding of manurcs that many farmers fai
to make their labor profitable.
"The compost heap is an necessary ap
pendage to the farm were all refuse mater
a! should be deposited and worked owe
with muck, road scrapings or the like, anC
thus converted into the means of enrichins
the soil and making an abundant harvest
At Oneida-urine, soapsuds and al tn
waste from the buildings, were saved an'
duped in this receptacle, and during tn
. course of the year a large accumulation o
manures was had from this scource whic

attention. The former provided for, he de-
termined to accomplish his daughter. To
this end he came to the city. lie bought a
piano and a harp, and guitar, ana car
load of music books, and so forth, winding
up his business by engaging a frst-class in
telcctual and musical tutor, with all of
which he started for the "regien." The
documents were of course soon arranged for
business. The tutor set to work and toiled
like "a Trojan, but with no success. Des-
pairing of ultimate triumph the tutor went
to the oil king and made clean breast of
it.
"Why, what the the worlds the matter ~
asked the father.
"Well," answered the tutor, Kitty has
got piano, and guitar, aud harp, and mu-
sic, and books, and all that, but she wants
capacity--that's ALL"
"Well, by the Lord Harry" cried the oil
king, "if that's all, just buy it. I've got the
stuff, and if money will get 1t she shall have
capacity or anything else"

A VERY GREAT RAscAL.-Two young
lawyers, Archy Brown and Thomas Jones'
were fond of dropping into MIR. Smiths par
lor, and spending an hour or two with his
only daughter Mary. One evening, when
Brown and Mary had discussed almost
every topic, Brown suddenly, IN his swee'es'
tones, struck out as follows:
"Do you think, Mary, you could leave
father and mother, this pleasant home, with
all its ease and comforts, and emigrate to
the Far West with young lawyer, who
had but little besides his profession to de
pend upon, and with him search out new
home, which it should be your JOINT duty tc
beautify, and make delightful and happy
like this Z"
Dropping her head softly on his shoulder
she whispered: 81 think i could, Archy."
"Well," said he, "there's Tom Jones, who
going to emigrate, and wants to get wife
' I'll mention it to him."

FARMERS Our OF DEBT.-rhere must be
something radically wrong with the farmer
| that does not now free himself from debt.
Never in the lifetime o. the present gene
ration will such another opportunity present
| itself. Every cultivated product of the
temperate latitude bears highly remnuerative
price. Every domestic animal that roams
over our fields or feeds on the contents OF
our granaries, finds ready purchaser.
| Every fruit of oui trees finds ready market.
fAnimals vegetables and fruits arc alike in
! demand
IT matters not for the purpose of paying
Gebts, wetheT the money received for farm
products be fifty, sixty, ninety or more cents
| below par; dollar cancels dollars worth
| of dcdt contracted even in the good old
| days of specie for which men sigh. A few
years ago it took, in many parts of the west,
ten bushels of corn to bring dollar. Every
! thing else that the farmer produced by his
toll and care was equally low in price
Then, indeed, were hard times, and crush
ing load of debts settled down upon the
shoulders of all--for the great mass ofwest-
ern farmers came here poor in money; rich
in faith and hope.
Ifamans crops and stock last year brought
him 81 900 and his expenses were $4,000,
this year his receipts will be $4,000, while
his expenditures even allowing them to have
doubled-which they will not have done III
one case inten-wil allow of a profit double
that Of last year.
And what is year or two of enconomy
now-enconomy of the most rigid kind,
, that shall cut off all the luxuries OF life,
compared with the years of happiness that
shall follow when the homestead Is free
from encumbrance; when all the stock and
machinery are the property of the lard
/ holders; when there is no account at the
grocer's nor the dry-goods merchants nor
blacksmith's 1t will be glorious epoch
when the people of these prairles own tneir
own farms, and this we believe may at once
be, if proper advantage pc taken OF the
. times in which we live.-.Prairie Farmer.

VENTnATINd STABLEs-A writer in the
London Times says that the Investigations
of the Barrack Improvement Commission,
on the management of cavalry horses, have
proved
Beyond question that the best form of
building is one storied stable and only
two rows of horses, the ventilation to be by
the roof, and formed by louvre 16 inches
wide, carried from end to end, and giving
four square feet of ventilation outlet for each
horse. The stables recommended to be
built in future would give each horse 100
feet of superficial, and 1904 cubic feet. A
course of air brick would be carried round
at the caves giving one square foot of inlet
to each horse; an air-brick is introduced,
about six inches from the ground, in every
two stalls; there is swing window for
every stall, and spaces are left below the
doors In this way, and by attention to
surface drainage and roof lighting, it is an
.icipated that stables will become perfectly
healthy. In old stables, ventilating shafts
are to be carried up, and air-bricks intro
duced. More window space is to be given =,
