says that on tha, day, d negroe lawyer from
Boston, named john 5. Rock, was introdu.
ced TO the supn me Court OF the United
States, by SENATOR Sumner, and admitted
as an attorney, 10 practice in that court:
The correspondent describes the attorney
as possessing all the characteristics OF the
African, "black, greasy and kinky." We

BARN-YARD MANURE.

The general practice of farmers through
ont the country, of pitching the manure
from their stables and COW sheds into the
open barn-yard, exposed to the rains, which
wash more or less of its soluble inorganic
constituents besides subiecting it to the
rays of the sun, causing an immense loss
by evaporation, and also allowing the or
ganic gases, carbonic acid, ammonia, etc,
or fermentation, to escape, is most negll-
gent and careless way of doing things, and
opposed to all true economy, for he loses
the most valuable part of his manures.
Near my friends barn is a long shed, con-
structed of common boards The manure
from the stables and COW sheds is removed
to this shed every morning. When five OF
six inches in thickness layer of pond mud
or muck is added to the mass This pre-
vents the escape of any gases that may be
liberated during decomposition, by absorb
ing and retaining them. The whole heap
consists of alternate layers of barnyard
manure and pond mud The stalls are so
constructed that the liquid drainage passes
into deep recess made ON purpose, along
side of the manure heap, and from there il
is thrown over the compost once and some
times twice a week In case the liquids
from the stable and sheds are insufficient
the requisite quantity is added from large
cistern near the shed. The liquid prevents
all fre-fanging or burning of the manure
causing the labor of forking over to be EN-
tirely dispensed with this alone is quite
an item saved. During my visit in the
spring had chance to witness the ap
pearance of the manure, as it was carteC
out from the shed, and it looked to me more
like rotten cheese than barn-yard manure
Every particle seemed to have thoroughly
rotted, and not vestige of straw could be
discerned in the entire heap

SALT FOR STOCK.

Having noticed an article occasionally in
the Farmer on the subject of sailing stock,
and in the January number an extract from
an article in the Germantown Telegraph,
advising farmers not to give salt to stock,
| wish to say word on the subject
lst. We should consult the natural taste
of the animal If salt be not healthy, and
even necessary, how is it that they so crave
it? Deer and bnffaloes, in wild state, go
long distances for it. Man in all countries
uses it. Cattle on the seashore drink the
seawater If not really required by their
systems, why do such animals so univer-
sally seek it?
I'd. Universal practice. Men always use
it when it can be obtained. They as in
variably give it to their cattle. Is it poss-
ible practice so general, and coming down
to US from the remOtest times, can have no
foundation in the necessities of the animals
themselves.
Sd. My own limited observation and ex-
perience.
find my sheep do not eat as we'll when
they are without salt as they do when they
have a regular supply. have salt-box
in my sheep shed, in which l aim Ql,cays to
keep salt. | wish all my stock were as
steadily and constantly supplied with it. }
If the salt is all eaten up, the sheep soon
tell me of it. And think this is particu-
larly needed when they are on grass. If
observe any of the sheep securing, add a
little wood ashes to the salt, mixing them
carefully, and never fail to cure the sheep
at once.
have q COW also that calls for her salt
as surely as she calls for her feed. IF am
in haste to put flesh on horse, give him
an extra quantity of salt, and can always
perceive the increase of appetite, and con-
sequent increase of flesh
But | have already occupied too much
space. | wish other farmers would give
us the benefit Of their experience in this
matter !. p. WATERHoUsE-Gpnesee Far

[From the Country Gentleman and Cultivator.
INDIAN CORN ASA FODDER PLANT.

VALUE OF CORNSTALKS AND HOW To USE THEM.
At an early period in my career of farm
ing | embraced the English idea that tur-
nips or other root crops were essential to
successful farmers because it enabled one
to feed a larger stock of animals from a
given surface than could otherwise be done,
and thereby greatly increased the manurial
resources of the farm. soon found, how
ever, that the conditions of climate so es-
sential to the profitable cultivation of roots,
and Of turnips in particular, were wanting
in large degree in this country That in
stead of the humid atmosphere of England,
we had hot dry seasons, which rendered the
profitable cultivation of that bulb exceed
ingly precarious, so much so that with our
very hard, cold winters, and the increased
amount of room required for storage, no
farmer could afford to grow them
My attention was ne&t directed to Indian
corn as substitute, and | early came to
the conclusion that | could make more beef
mutton or pork, from an acre of corn, both
stalks and grain, than | could from the same
surface in roots. 1t was not however un-
I'll adopted the plan of cutting or chatting
the stalks that began to realize the full
value of the plant to the farmer | have
now had several years experience with
chaffed stalks, each year improving upon
the experience of the last, and begin to
think that pretty well understand the sub
.ect Of making the most of coarse forage
for winter supply.
But heretofore have, with very slight
exception, confined myself to the stalks of
the cornfeld after the grain had been Sc
cured, observing the results of others op-
erations who have sown or drilled in corn
exclusively for fodder. | took hint from
a milkman who lived near Buffalo and sup
piled milk to that city He was in the habit
of sowing several acres with western corn
broadcast, cutting it up before the frost and
curing in large stocks well set up and fas-
tened at the top with strong bands, and
only drawn in when wanted in the winter.
