EARTH CLOSETS FOR COWS AND HORSES

Much interest is now being taken in
the question of the introduction OF the
earth clrset; and it has occurred to rs
| IA limited experience on the subject
confirming our idea) that the applica-
tlon OF the same principle to the cow
stable, the horse stable, and, indeed. to
every place where live stock is kept, is
perfectly feasible, and will be attended
with the best results. Much is said in
favor of the use ofswamp muck in and
under stables; and, indeed, too much
cannot be said in its praise. But, for
the consolation OF those to whom muck
IS inaccessible, we are glad to be able
to say that, although common surface
soil contains within itself probably less
actual Iertilizing material, yet it is even
better absorbent Of the escaping gases

iertliizlng ingredients. A few cart

charcoal dust, or plaster, to be sprinkled
III stables and thrown upon the accu-
mulated droppings in cellar or ma
nufe shed. While, probably, the value
OF this addition to the compost heap, in
view OF the absorbent qualities, will be
quite as great as that of muck, the effect
upon the atmosphere of the stable Will
be even better. In the hog-pen, the
use OF dry earth will accomplish equal
ly beneficial results and even the
ground under the hen-roost, or the
fioor OF the hen-house, supplied with
this material in sufficient quantity to
cover and absorb the droppings, the
mass being forked over once or twice q
week, will be productive of the most
desirable effect. 1t will amply repay,
IN the increased value OF the manure,
the labor that it requires; while the
purity of the air of the poultry house,
and the beneficial influence of this on
The health of the fowls, will be greater
than could be attained in any other

A FURIOUS TORNADO AND HUGE WA,
TER-510UT ON THE OHIO,

From the officers of the steamer Leo
nora No. 2. which arrived in port last
evening, we get information Of most
destructive hurricane that swept across
the country above .Wicklifie's landing,
thirty live miles up the river, on We'd
nesday afternoon. While the :Leonora
was moored at the landing, about 4:30
O'Clock, the pilot on duty saw two I'M
melse clouds come together a short
distance of. In few minutes q terri
tic hurricane, rendered still more awful
by deatening thunder and binding
Lightning, rushed with indescribable
fury across the river just above the
landing. Immediately on reaching the
stream .he fierce tornado lifted a great
body of the water and hurled it along
over the bank, deluging the vicinity
and exciting the utmost terror among
the people.
The path of the hurricane was about
one hundted yards in width. Through
out this track for miles on both sides of
'he river, the.devastation was complete.
Houses, trees, fences. &C., were uptorn
and scattered like straws in all direc-
tions. The air was densely filed with
huge limbs of treesand other fragments,
and tae whole region OF the storm was
in state of chaos. I'his terrible blast
was followed by rain that fell in tor
rents and flooded the whole region
around. 1t Is difii3ult to estimate the
extent Of the injury suffered by the
victims OF this storm, but it is certain
ly very great.-LouisUiHe Courier.

ARTIFICIAL MANUREs.

The Country Gentleman says the manu-
facture OF artificial manures has attain
ed such gigantic proportions in Eng-
lane, and so much deception and fraud
are practised in 1t, that the farmers
have organized associations for self
projection. As the most successful
mode of defending themselves they have
determined to confine themselves 10 the
purchase of but one manure-soluble
phosphate of lime. This article has
known and recognized value, and inn
position is easily detected. AS to 9TH
er fertilizing elements-nitrogen, po-
tash, magnesia, &c.,-they say farmer
cannot afford to buy them, Nature
and proper cultivation of the soil will
supply them in sufficient quantities.
The Country Gentleman rather doubts this
last position; but deems it worth con-
sidering and testing.

WHAT USE HAVE WE FOR CROWS.

Farmers regard crows as their natu-
raj enemies. This is q wrong view to
take, for the question may well be dis
cussed whether crows do more harm
than good. They do great deal of
good, but this is very nearly balanced,
at any rate, if not overbalanced, by
their destruction OF grain and useful
birds. 1t becomes, therefore, an inter-
esting problem, if we cannot prevent
the harm, and make the most Of :heir
| good offices. A flock of crows on a
newly-plowed field will destroy more
white grubs and cut-worms than are
seen by the farmer and his men in the
course OF an entire season.; and where
these pests are abundant in corn-fields
the crows will, as the writer has re-
pearedly seen, go from hill to hill, stop
ping only at those where wilted spear
| shows that grubs or cut-worms are at
| work. At these points they persevere
until they find the little marauders.
being guided apparently by the sense
of smell as well as by sight. Now, it
may be all very well to say good word
for the crows when they deserve it, but
few are inclined to do so when they find
hill after hill of corn pulled up,, or see
the rascals at work pulling the young
wheat, or tearing open the hcIsks OF the
r0asting-ears.
A crow is a very shy animal, and if
Dy any means one can be trapped upon
a Held, or be exposed few days while
living, as If caught in a snare or trap,
1t is safeguard tor the season. 1t Is
no easy matter to trap crow, and vet
it may be done. A steel trap is laid in
the shallow water of a pond, and atuft
OF grass is placed upon the pan, and
partly conceals the trap. Then the
crows natural fondness for eggs is taken
advantage OF in selecting the bait, and
blown egg-shell put upon stick,
which is stuck in the bottom of the pool
at such distance from the trap that 20

WOMAN QUESTION III THE cHUpcH.

1t is not little surprising that tn,
question: of licensing woman to preaci
should have ariseE in the Methodis
ministry. Had it been a question O
female equality in any other field of hu.
man effort, 1t would have been hut an
ordinary exhibition of the existing
tendancy to put the sexes on par.
and, as III the case OF law. medicine.
office-holding and other mundane mat
ters, would present no protest in the
thing itself, however much the nature
of woman might be an objection. Or,
in other words, the difficulty in these
worldly cases is not an objective but
subjective protest. Men say that
women should not be lawyers, physi-
cans, politicians, and so on, not so
much because the nature of law, medi-
| cine and politics inherently forbids wo-
man, as because il is believed that wo-
man by her very nature and comstitu-
ton is unfit for such pursuits.
Female preaching meeting differ
ent style of opposition, for Bible relig-
ion. to be Bible religion. forbids wo-
man to "speak in churches" irrespec-
tive OF any fitness in them to speak.
The objection is congenital, SO to speak
inherent, essential. But it may be said
that law, too, lays an interdict on wo-
man. Very well then, to remove the
lnterdict you must change the law,
must you not? And if religion also
has an interdict, and you would remove
that interdict then you must change
the religion. At the very beginning of
Scripture, " oman is in so MANY words
made subject To the man--s.he shall
rule over thee;' and under the new
dispensati0n the interdict of the old is
copiously reiterated that man is the
head of the woman, but Christ the head
OF the man; wives be obediens to your
husbands and the like afiirmations.
80 thorough and inherent is this de-
claration OF feminine inferioritv, that
female equality has always been based
on non-ecclesiastic grounds, and must
depend on such grounds only. 1t is
surprising, therefore, we say, that on
the very basis of that ecclesiasticism
which declares woman's inferiority to |
man as clearly as it declares anything,
there should be an effort to make wo- |
man equal to man. The question. it is |
true, is of so purely denomination al n |
nature that it is as little our business |
as our wish to take any side in the mat |
ter, but i'll its capacity as a most re- |
markable phase OF thought has received |
our attention. A woman speaking in
;hur, h by authority of the church on
hat belief of the church which says |
nat woman should not sleak in |
'hurch. Is certainly as rare a pheno-
ncnon as curious age present.

The daughter, granddaughter and

Adrienne de Noailles, Madame Lafay-
cite, was born in 1859. Her daughter
tells us that she was IN her childhood
very much troubled by doubts on reli-
glon. The agitation commenced at the
age OF twelve and lasted several wears.
Although she experienced great trouble
from her uncertainties, she voluntarily
deferred her first communication until
the moment they had ceased, which
was already an astonishing trait OF
character in child OF this age. She
married when fourteen and Il half; NJ.
de Lafayette was himself only sixteen.
She was almost in her eighteenth year
when her husband departed for Anieri-
ca. She endured with courage his un-
expected separation; her ardent love
Tor her husband was exactly what made
her strength. The resolution of NJ. de
Lafayette, which some very much ap-
plauded, was blamed exceedingly 5y
others; the Due d'Ayen in particular
did not dissemble his anger. The young
wife did without hesitatihg what she
was to do all her life-she took the part |
of her husband against her own family,
and swallowed her tears. Lafayette |
returned with gratitude this passionate
devotion; what might have divided |
them, united more Closely.
