COMPOST HEAPs-It is often recon-
mended that when manure is thrown
into heaps in field it should be covered
with a layer of earth TO prevent the es-
cape of the ammonia. The experiments
Of DR.. NOeleker. at the royal agricultu-
raj college at Cireucestel. in England.
have esta ablished the fact that the eyap0-
ration Of ammonia from large heaps OF
manure, goes on but slightly; for the
reason that during the composition of
manure, certain organic acids are formed
at the same time the ammonia is evolved
and then Immediately unite with the
ammonia, forming non-yolatile com
pounds. There is an active esca pc
Of ammonia from the interior OF large
heaps, where the heat is too great for
the chemical changes above referred
to; but as it approaches the exterior
parts of the heaps, where the heat IS
very much less, the ammonia is COM
pletely taken up by the organic acids
and retained. There viii be but q
trifiing escape of ammonia while there
is sufficient moisture to retain It, for
water absorbs and retains many hun
dred times the bulk Of ammonia gas at
the ordinary temperatures. These non
volatile compounds, from being highly
soluble in water, are liable to be washed
away by every rain storm, giving the
well-known brown color to the drain
iuEs of manure heaps.-Amss'icdR Ag-

WHEAT Fowls TO KEEP.-The choice
of breeds is so much matter of fancy,
that one can hardly advise another
about them without a long dissertation.
Brahmss are good layers, sitters ami
mothers and are great favorites; heavy
fowls, active, bat will not fly; flesh good.
Light Brahams are not very expensive;
dark now are quite so. White Leghorns
are persistent layers, do not sit, fly like
pigeons; very pretty, nice, economical
fowls. OF French fowls, select Houdans,
which are good sized, spec ckled, homely
fowls, persistent layers, and hardy; ex-
cellent for the table. If fyou must be eco
nomical, buy two trlos of the breed you
prefer, and lot of common fowls, Sc
leciing light colored, large bodied, feath-
er-legged pullets, next spring save the
your pure pullets, and you viii stock
your yard with forty or fifty fowls with
little expense. Should you wish a breed
of more fancy fowls, you have your
choice among Polands of various colOrs,
Hamburgs, etc, which are great layers;
Cochins, which are not superior to Brah-
mas; Black Spanish, which lay the hand
soonest eggs laid by any fowl, and many
of them, are very beautiful, but delicate,
as are also the Creve Coeurs and La
Fleche breeds, which excel most others
as layers and table fowl.-AmsTicun Ag-

some years ago couple who had got
tired OF the jars and troubles of welded
life. and mutually resolved to end them.
But being rather short Of this world s
goods, they hardly felt like paying out
the money necessary TO obtain divorce.
So they went to the old gentleman
who Joined them in the bonds of mat
rimony some years before, and
desired him to unite the knot. The
worthy old squire scratched his head
and thought q moment, and told them
there was no way but to 20 to court {:
"But hold" said he, 81 have it. You
promised to live together until death
should you part. Come out into the
ward" Then seizing cat that sat in
the doorway, he directed John to take her
by the tail aud Jane by the head and
pull her apart. Then lifting sharp axe,
he said: Now death doth you part"
The axe fell aud the couple were d.

DISTANCES AT ORCHARDs.-Much dis
cUssiOn has taken place in relation TO tho
proper distances apart to set apple trees
IN orchards. Many western farmers
prefer placing them near together as a
protection from cold winds, and fifteen
and twenty feet have been recommended
This close planting has proved the value
OF shelter, and while the trees ere Young
larger amount Of fruit is obtained from
an acre. But when the trees become
larger and older these advantages in a
great measure disappear. Il is therefore
proposed 10 thin them ont by success

the shelter and larger crops are oh

have so crowded each other that the
fruit has become small and sIunfed, and
be is thinning the trees ont. But they
