until it covers the floor three or four inches
deep; then a layer of straw or leaves, deepS'
enough to make a warm bed for the horses: -

Second. Haul a load or two Of wood -piloz
litter, or mould, to your hen.house and scatter
it over the floor an inch or two according toY
the number fthe chickens you have Whctio
there is enough Of it, rake it up in one corner !
in heap, and begin again. Hero you have \
q manure about equal to guano, in fact, guano
itself sifaasI
Third. Have pen three feet deep; pat
into it wcod-p litter foot, or two feet
deep; and on this empty your urinals every
morning, your soap-suds every wash, day, and ,
all the swecpings from the house and yard
If it begins to smell, throw on more wood pile
litter, or coal-dust This is a frst-rate maj

managed, it helps to purify the. air around
the dwelling. 9f".'T Ga
Fourth. Litter your lots with leaves or
straw, if not all over, at least at the lower corr
ner, to catch tho oozing from above; scatter
several loads of woodpile litter, or mould, Or
even earth on the leaves, which will help to
make them rot, and at the same time will
help to absorb the liquid manure which will.
otherwise be wasted.. A great deal of ma I,
nure can be made in this way, if your stock
are well managed. If your manure be drawn
up into sharp heaps, and covered with q lit-
tie Garth, it will be saved from being loaohed 1
by the rains. Put this manure into your
cotton or turnip hills, or where you please. S 6
