To PURIFY A RooM.--Set a pitcher
Of water in a room, and in few
hours it will have absorbed all the
respired gases in the room, the air Of
which will become pure, hut the wa
ter utterly filthy The colder the
water is the greater the capacity to
contain these gases. At ordinary
temperature a pail of water W Il con-
tain a pint Of carbonic acid gas and
several pints Of ammonia. The ca
pacity is nearly doubled by reducing
the water to the temperature Of ice.
Hence water kept in room a while
is always unfit for use, For :he same
reason the water from pump should
always be pumped upin the morning
before any Of il is used Impure
water is more Injurious than impure
air. The above, if true. proves how
exceedingly careless many Of us are
as regards our health, for we venture
70 say that large majority Of the
people use water for drinking which
has absorbed" for hours the noxious
gases of their rooms

LToUID MANURE In every one
hundred pounds OF COWS urine there
are sixty five pounds of water, Ave
pounds of urea, five pounds of phos-
plate of lime, twelve pounds of sal
ammonlac and muriate potash, and
ten pounds Of carbonate of potash
aud ammonia. While the solid ex>
crements from one COW are estimated
to manure three times the amount.
Our dairy farmers will see, therefore.
how important it is to have tanks
connected with their stables in which
to deposit this material or good
supply saw dust. dry earth, or muck,
for absorbing it in the CUTTERS of the
stable. Urine is more efficient on
light soils than on clay lands and
strong loans on the latter much of

before il can penetrate into them.
