THE ODD AT LINDEN. on the
New Jersey Road, just where the love-
ly city of Elizabeth leaves off, dawns
the lew little hamlet of Linden
Wide spread are its hospitable homes
--countrylike in its outmost appearan-
ees-still all the elements of refinement
and culture are to be met among its
citizens-destined some day to make a
bright spot in New Jerseys name.
1.-THE Linden Sociables," in full tide Of
their second years prosperity. gave a
grand masquerade on the evening of
the ODD, at the residence of Mr.. Ben
jamin Tucker
No brighter omen of its success could
have been chosen than the day dear to
all patriotic hearts-the birthday of the
father of his country.
Fortunate in being IA guest, / feel it a
tribute due its most worthy. hospitable
and gentlemanly host to give brief
description of the brilliant affair The
house, an elegant, roomy mansion,
brilliantly lighted, elegantly decorated
with our national flags nothing that a
kind, thoughtfulness could suggest for
the pleasure and comfort of their guests
was wanting.
Mine host and his most amiable lady
were not in costume, but watchful of
sll the minutiR of the entertainment
The gathering was of Iinden's fair
est, and brightest in youth, beauty and
good taste, assisted largely by the sis
ter city Of Railway, whose close connec-
zion as members of the same sociable
gave happy proof of their genial,
kindliness and appreciation of the same.
The costumes were in many instances
very elegant, all faultless as far as good
taste was concerned. The dancing as
perfect as metropolitan could desire.
We might particularize, but good
taste forbids when each deserved such
particular mention.
The prince of presidents Mr.. j. G. Il.
was at his post taking the tickets, that
no interlopers should enter-distribu-
ling the beautifully printed program
mes to each member The executive
committee and secretary in their gay
badges with unique monogram exerted
themselves that all should go merry
as marriage bell'' to the fair dancers
who were not at loss for partners.
The band discoursed sweet music.
At eleven o'clock the signal was given
for unmasking, when merry scene
ensued las TO who was known under
their disguise.
A fine supper was then given, dane
ing resumed, patriotic songs sung, and
SO the night wore on, until the last
'' good bye" was said. Success to Lin
den and its sociables.

Animal Manures.

Animal manures or manures from ami
nal substances, in general, require no
chemical preparations to fit them for the
soil. The great object of the farmer is to
blend it with the soil or earthly constituents
in proper state of division, and to pre-
vent their too rapid decompositions. The
entire parts of the muscles of land animals
are not commonly used as manure, though
there are many cases in which such appli-
cation could easily be made. Horses, and
other animals that have died by disease or
other causes, after their skins are separated
are often left exposed to the air, till they
are destroyed, or entirely decomposed; and
in this case, most of their organized mat
ter is lost for the land in which they lie,
and considerable portion is employed in
giving off noxous gases to the atmosphere.
By covering dead animals with five or
six inches of soil, mixed with one part of
lime, and suffering them to stand for a few
months; their decomposition will inpreg-
nate the soil with soluable matter so as to
render it an excellent manure, and by mix
ing little quick lime with it at the time of
its removal, the disagreeable efiluvia would
be i'll some measure destroyed; and it can
be applied the same way as other manures
to crops.
Fish forms powerful manure, in what
ever state it is applied; but it cannot be
plowed in too fresh, though it should be
used in a limited manner.
Bones are much used rs manure, so
also is blood, for it contains certain quanti-
ties of all the principles found in other
animal substances, and is consequently
good kind of manure.
could enumerate scores of both vegeta-
bic and animal manures, but for fear of
firing your patience, therefore will con-
clude and i'll my next will give your readers
the mode of fermenting, preserving, and
applying manures of animal and vegetable
origin.
Hoping to hear soon from some other of
my co-readers. AGRIcoLA.

The Value of Dead Animals for Compost.

The farmer is very fortunate who loses
10 stock by death or accident; but when
such loss unavoidably occurs, he should
make the most of it. 1t is too often drag
gcd to the woods or let lay in the open field
to be consumed by buzzards or beasts of
prey, giving off an offensive odor that poi
sons the atmosphere of the surrounding
neighborhood. This is not only bad econ
omy, but it is bad morality.
The dead animal should be taken suf-
ficient distance from the building and from
the road side, and if a large one, cut III
pieces. Slrcw these pieces literally with
plaster (gypsllm) and lime. and cover with
soil swamp mud or road washings, adding
literally of plaster as you add the covering.
This will give you a valuable compost heap
and the atmosphere will not be impregnated
with the poisonous odor; the plaster will
secure that for Il better purpose. The lime
hastens decomposition, but you must de-
pend upon the plaster to secure the ammo
MIA.
After the decomposition has been COM
pleted the whole mass should be well mixed
and applied to the land. 1t will pay.

SPat Him.

This is the advice of the american Stock
Journal, an interesting publication devoted
to the interest of farm animals. The
writer says:
We sometimes see men having the care
of and driving team of horses or mules,
whipping the poor animals because they do
not understand their wishes. Many time
the leader horse or mule is numerically
beaten for no other reason than that the
drivers order is not understood. If the
driver, i'll such case, should speak gently
to the leader, pat it a few times on the
neck to leassure it of his friendship, take
hold of the bride and lead it a few steps in
the direction he wishes to 90, and all this
without any excitement or anger on his
part, the leader will always do its best to
please him.
g In driving horse to a carriage, how
ever gentle and wcll-trained he may be,
something may happen to alarm or brighten
him this is no fault of his-he cannot help
it All he needs is word or two of ell
couragcment, gently spoken, to reassure
him OF his masters care and presence, and
that all is right. There should be no whip
ping done. The driver should recollect
that he gets alarmed or frightened too,
sometimes. and would think hard of being
whipped for it,

looking men in our neighborhood, especial
