FLOODED STOCK.

The exhibition opened with blooded
stock, and some of the rings were very at
tractive. One feature deserving of particu-
lar notice was the display of stock owned
by Gen. W. G. Harding and 3. f. Cock
rill, Esq. The celebrated stallion, Jack
Malone, entered the ring at the head of the
line, and the noted Brown Dick brought
up the rear. The procession which was
partly composed of the offspring of these
world-renowned animals was very impos-
ing, and attracted much attention.
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1870-05-20

We noticed number of new articles on
exhibition. Mccormack has reared pyra-
mid, containing his mineral water and ale.
Robert Joest has case of stuffed birds,
which attract much attention. A lot of
fine lilies have been contributed by Mrs.
Thomas B. johnson, G. w. @. Lowell,

heater, which is big improvement, and

FARM AND HOME.
Saving Manure.

The st. Louis Journal Of dqriculturc
speaks as follows OF earth closets ~
One of the most valuable absorbents and
deodorizers is fine, dry earth. 1t enables
us to utilize, in an agreeable manner, the
most valuable manure produced upon the
farm, viz: the human excrements. And
what Is of still greater consequence, by its
use we are enabled to entirely obviate one
of the most prolific sources Of diseases in
warm weather--the foul odors arising
from privies, &c.
A good deal has been said or written of
late about Earth Closets u patent arti-
Gle is offered for sale. The principle of
these closets il the use of fine, dry dirt,
clay or loan, not sand, as an absorbent.
They are perfectly successful, and the
principle is simple and within the reach
of every farmer without paying for any
patent. A privy constructed for dry earth
is cheaper than one with vault, while
the vault is prolific source of disease. and
ought to be abolished.
- correepondent of the Country GSllt5e-
man gives the following account Of his
method of applying the dry earth system
in his own domestic establishment:
1.-THE house is built in the usual manner.
Under the seats ] have drawer made of
two inch stuff, put together with brown
paper and white lead, made so that it can
be drawn out at one side of the house. l
cover the bottom of the drawer with about
three inches OF dry earth, and then Sprln-
kle shovel of plaster over il. The draw
er is cleand out once q week, and the con-
tents go to increase my manure pile So
far 1 have not found any smell coming
from the arrangement, although we have
a pretty hot summer, and the priyy is
within fifteen feet Of my house. The
drawer runs on two sides, and when in
place is covered on the endes by doors.
This is my earth closet. An improve
ment would be to have box in each COM
partment full of dry earth, and scoop, so
that more earth could be thrown on from
time TO time. As yet, / have not found
this st all necessary
Another writer in the same paper says:
"A bed of dry muck of dried earth under
cover, to pour the slops of the house over,
and be occasonly turned over and added to,
will be converted into the best kind of
poudrette by fall In this bed may be de-
posted all the old bones, after being broken
in small pieces, and by their heating, ETC.,
they may be more economically reduced
than in any other way, adding much to
the value Of the mass"
The manure made from human excre-
nents is undoubtedly the best that there
il. 1t never fails, being good for all soils
and all crops. A manurial agent Of such
Importance should not be neglected, as it
generally has been, especially now, when
simple, effective and Agreeable mode of
utilizing is known.
