The people of New Brunswick are
said to be very much opposed to the confede-
ration scheme. which the government is try
ing to force upon them.
Brownsville advices say it is reported
there that the Liberals had captured wagon
train between Paros and Monterey, with $780,
600, killing and capturing about 200 French
soldiers. The train contained about $50 wag-
ons. II left Monterey about the LIST OF
April, with supplies and money for Matamoras,
guarded by / 400 Imperialists. Pauengeros,
Treyance and Cansles, with about 2, 400 Libe-
rails. and Navaios, with Liberal cavalry, LEFT
Camargo on the Sd to intercept the train
Meiia had left Matamoras to meetit, approach
ing with a small column. Gen. Olivera, COM

Saving Manure

Saving Manures. Every substance
that can be useful as fertilizer should
be collected and added to the manure
heap. If the fertility of the soil is not
sustained by returning compensation
for the ingredients carried away by the
crops, the land will be impoverished
and no cereals or roots can be raised.
Let the manure heap be so placed that
the liquid cannot esonpe from IL, ana be
carried away by the heavy rains OF
spring. 1t is to be regretted that very
few American farmers manage manure
economically, very few liquid tanks are
TO be seen, and the top-dressing OF
grass and grain crops is very much neg
lected. BY more attention to the col
lection and application of manure. many
millions of dollars might be added to
the wealth of the farmers of the United
States. In Belgium all the crops are
top-dressed in the spring with com
post composed of ashes and night-soil,
and by this means the weight of the
crops is very much increased.
