TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
VIII you permit me, through your columns, to
correct statement made In your Yesterdays issue
The report Of the proceedings at the meeting of the
so-called Workingwoman's Association say5-"H
touched the soul Of Mrs. Norton, who made the
dnsende honorable in brief terms."
There was nothing said by me that could, by any
possibility, bear such a construction as that. save
by wlfu intention. The nearest approach to any
thing liko an apology consisted in my saying that no
person In the audience could regret more than in
feeling obliged to speak the harsh but stern truths
which the conditions seemed to demand.
II any person could distort that into an "anaende
honordote' 1t must have been under the immediate
influence Of that personal magnetism and "pow-
erful persuasion" OF which Miss Anthony boasts.
And that by the way. is one OF my causes Of COM
plalnt-the manipulation OF reporters. by species
OF "cheap John" bidding through deft fattery of
attention before the meetings begin, and illusions
to them through the course OF "the talk" intended
TO tickle their vanity; ana 80 apparent and Oftre-
peated as to have become-to sensible, plain folk

not bear truthful and unbiased reports Of Its pro-
ceedings-whicn cannot bear investigation and ex-
pOsure to the world at any time when circumstances
or consistency demand either-which cannot be
talked to all classes IN all its breadth and bearings
whose merts are not strong enough to raise the
people to its standard when its true purposes are
ayOwed, Is not worthy the name of reform or the

Finally, 80 far from making any apology, T. on the
contrary, reserved my strongest points, for the rea

RnIniinn of Mnnnrcs.

Peter Henderson, one Of the most success
ful, as well as experienced, New York market
gardeners, in his valuable little work, entitled,
" Gardening for Profit" gives the following
as his experience in relation to the above sub
jcct:--
" In applying manurcs to the soil, we have
long ago discovered the great importance Of
an alienation Of different kinds. When
FIRST began business as a market gardner, |
had opportunities Of getting large quantities
of night soil from the scavengcrs of jersey
City this was mixed with stable manure,
charcoal, sawdust or any other absorbent most
convenient, and applied, so mixed, at the
rate of about 30 tons per acre. The crops
raised with this manure were enormous for
two or three years, but it gradually began to
lose effect and in five years from the time we
began to use it, it required nearly double the
weight OF this compost to produce even an
average crop. | then abandoned the use of
night soil and applied refuse hops instead, at
the rate Of about go tons per acre with mark
ed improvement; but this was for the FIRST
and second years only, the third year showing
falling of. About this time our preiudiccs
against the use Of concentrated manurcs for
market gardening began to give way, and at
irst we applied guano together with manure
at the rate Of 300 pounds per acre which we
found to pay; and the next season, guano
was used at the rate Of 1000 pounds per
acre, with very satisfactory results Since
then our practice has been a systematic alter
nation OF mamrcs, which ! am convinced is
Of quite as much Importance to the produce
ton of uniform crops of first quality, as is
the alienation Of varieties Of the different
kinds of vegetables"

Lightning.ROds.

A Correspondent has asked respecting
lightuing-rods and their value. To his IN
quirics we have the pleasure of giving the
following replies by Professor LOOMS, of
Yale College,
There have been numerous instances in
which buildings have been struck and some
what damaged by lightning, although they
were furnished with. ightnng-rods, but in
every instance, so far as | am aware, the con-
structon of the rods was obviously faulty in
some important particular
!. The most common fault of lightning
rods is, that they do not permit the electricity
to pass off freely into the earth. Dry earth
is a poor conductor Of electricity, but water
is a good conductor. If a rod terminates in
dry earth, the electricity during thunder
storm may accumulate upon the rod, and will
thence pass off laterally to other conductors,
and occasion the same damage as if there
were no lightning-rod The rod should cutter
the ground TO such a depth as to reach water,
which communicates freely with the mass Of
the earth In large city, this may be ac-
complished by connecting the rod with the
wster-pipcs; and in the country the rod may
generally be connected with a well or spring
Of water. If such an arrangement is incon-
venicnt, the rod should be made to descend
to permanent moisture, and this will often
require depth Of ten feet
,. The second most common fault of light
ning-rods is, that they are not continuous.
Links and interrupted joints oppose resistance
to the passage of electricity, and should there

BEDDING Horses in SaMdnst.

A late issue Of the London Field contains
the result Of an experiment, the feasibility Of
which has been discussed somewhat. The
writer says;-
Having used sawdust as bedding TO-.
some length of time, the result of my expert
ence may not be unacceptable to some Of
your inquirng readers litter my horse ON
1t to the depth Of five or six inches, raking
off the damp and soied surface every morn
ing, and spreading evenly little fresh, re-
moving only four times a year. Its advan-
tages appear to be many, and / will state a
few which give it, in my estimation, its great
superiority over straw. II is much cleaner
aud more easily arranged and Of course much
cheaper at first cost, making in the end OK
cellent manure. 1t is peculiarly beneficial to
the feet, atfording a cool, porous stufing, a
substitute for the soil or earth we always find
in the hoofs Of horse at grass, and presents
the nearest resemblance TO the horses natural
iooting-the earth.
We have never had a diseased foot since
the introduction Of sawdust in the stable now
come years since. Horses bedded on sawdust
are also freer from dust stains than when on
ordinary litter, (simply because sawdust is a
better absorbent, perhaps) and testify their
own approval Of il by frequently rolling and
lying down for hours in the day. 1t has also
the recommendation of being unedible--an
advantage which all in charge of horses,
with the habit of consuming their litter, will
readily admit. Being free from pungent
smell, which is apt to accompany straw, Jun.
less scrupuously kept, it is innocent to weak
eyes, and its slight turpentine odor is rather
a sweetener, than otherwise. 1t makes when
converted into manure) the best possible
foundation for hot-beds, and unlike other sta
Bile manure, forms no harbor or refuge for
yermin. Pine sawdust is the best, and oak
tie worst, as the latter turns black on the
second day.

of this over glass are, that, while a sufficient

required.

Iti"u Hairs JuuluuLI
Maccaroui is am article of food which we
should like 10 see in more common use in this
country. When our people learn to make it,
as well as they make it ia Naples, aud what
is equally important, to cook it as the Men
poliians do, 10 will be as much used here as
it is there, for it is, or might be, cheap aud
healthlul
The -four is specially ground for it; and
the best article Of maccaroni is rctailcd in
the Neapolitan provinces for five and six cents
pound. A commoner and coarser article is
much used by the common people, which sells
for about half this price. 1t is difficult to
imagine what the baSse geate, the lower clas-
SEES, would do without maccaroni.
Here, we think, it is usually baked with
cheese, style in which no Italian could be
induced to eat it. They regard baked cheese
as very indigestible. They boil their macca-
ROM until it is tender, which ordinarily re-.
quircs about ten minutes, and then serve it
up with butter or the sauce of the raqoat.
To make this dish, they take piece of beef
without bone and after cutting an onion into
small pieces and cooking it thoroughly in a
kettle, they place the meat ON the onion, and
after it is partially cooked they add tomatoes,
prepared as they would be for stewing; add
ing more from time to time, and sometimes
water, and cooking for three or four hours.
The meat is then served up by itself, and the
tomato sauce is poured over the maccaroni.
They always have some grated cheese on the
table, to be sprinkled on the maccaroni by
those who like it.
Twice a week, Sundays aud Thursdays, the
year round, this forms the dinner for four
fiths Of population Of eight millions of
people 1t is both hoalthful and inexpensive.

Homemade Fertilizers.

There are many recipes for making iertili

the commercial fertilizers now so plenty
But here is something recommended by the
Editor Of the Boston Journal of Chemistry
whose reputation is guarantee that it is a
good thing, while it is so simple it can be
made by every farmer. With the aid of thi.
fertilizer DR. Nichols says he last season
raised eighty bushels of good sound corn to

Take one barrel of pure Underground

1t is said that the peasant women Of Nor
mandy have curious fashion of pressing
turkeys into the practice of Matching hens
eggs. The mod,S ope,andi is described as
olows -
Take female turkey of the preceding
year, one that has never laid, and put her in
basket containing plaster eggs. Cover this
basket with a strong linen cloth. 1t will be
from four to six days before she will overcome
her natural Discrimination to set, and become
attached to the eggs or, as the French have
it, take an affection for them. When the
prejudice is entirely overcome, they put the
real eggs under her, she easily covering eigh-
teen or twenty Of them. The covering being
removed, the innocent turkey aacompishes
the task assigned her without further trouble,
save that il is necessary to remove her once a
day that she may partake Of refreshments,
If this is not done, these settlers sometimes
staryo to death, rather than voluntarily leave
their charge, so great is their forced affection
After Matching, the little chicks are placed
in charge Of another turkey, and the mother,
supplied with a new lot of eggs, continues
her mission These young turkeys are thus
made 10 hatch three or four litters in a

Mr.. David Newport, of Abingdon, Peuusyl-
yania, writes the Hearth a. Home -
Z" In the past year have queried of our
most successful farmers on the subject of deep
and shallow blowing, and find remarkable
unanimity Of opinion among them, that the
best crops Of corn can be obtained by blowing
at the depth Of about four inches. Many
are Of the opinion that this is deep enough
for any crop, and one Of them (Mr. Iryins)
who raises the best crops of corn, on the
average, that know Of insists that after the
soil has been broken up to the depth of eight
or ten inches, many years must elapse before
good crop Of corn can be grown, and then,
only by the application Of expensive manuros.
On one occasion, to the great distress of my
teams, | broke up twenty-acre field for corn
to the depth Of seven inches; season of
extreme drought followed and the result was
a very small yield. My theory is, that the
deep, flat iurrow turns under, beyond the
reach Of the surihce-roots the food adapted
by nature for their sustenance-tbat the deep
roots are merely supporting, while those that
run near the surface Of the ground feed and
nourish the plant"

A correspondent in East Homer, New

The following, on the same subject, is from
the Hearth d. Home. 1t reads thus -
"The lime-cask seldom contains over two
bushels sometimes not quite two, especially
Of stone-lime, whom the fragments are large.
We do not refer exclusively to shell-lime.
There is but little difference for the farmer
between she'll and stone-ime. The shell is
rather preferable, because there is some phos-
phatc Of lime in oyster-shels and none in
common limerick Maritime differs slightly
from oyster-shell lime. For composing, as a
special application on potatoes, it is, perhaps,
not at all inferior to rock-lime, but for top
dressing on sour wet lands, the latter is more
effective
