countrymen, I feel that among this vast
thrOng, in every heart the septiment ex-
proceed finds = responsive ech6sun that,
whether 1t be In tropic clineGG a. amidst the
less congenial scenes Of tho frjgid s0ue, the
Irishman's heart turno with hiial love
and devotion to the Ever Green Isle Of his
birth. 49,
Fellow countrymen, I fear have already
trespassed too long upon your time and
pauence, but, believe me, l could not re-
strain the emotions of my heart when look
ing upon the verdant folds of our beautiful
prize. Cold indeed must be the heart, and
devoid of feeling that can Wow with indif-
ference that golden harp that adorns its face,
or gaze unmoved upon that ancient motto
that CLEANS beneath" Erin go bragh!"-a
lrelands wives, and maids, and widows,
made sacred by the walls of her orphaned
children apd baptized in the blood of
her bravest sons. Then take this flag, and
treasure it with devotion, for around it
centre the hopes of our country's freedom,
and though our mission be one of peace and
good-wi to all mankind, that flag is none
the less fitting for our guidance. Let the
charity of our hearts be ever as green and
unsullied as are it's folds, and let every
string of that golden harp find within our
souls a counterpart Of sympathy and love
for our fellow men, until the good seed now
sown bears fruit in the breastof every true
Irishman, and, believe me, the day is not
far distant when we, wanderers in a foreign
land, may look with joyous eyes across the
broad bosom of the Atlantic Ocean, and
exclaim, with Ireland's illustrious son !:
Our country stands as before, Redeemed !,
Regenerated and Olsen thralled ]"

Saving Manure.

A writer in Hearth and Home makes the
following practical suggestions ON Saving
Manure:
The manure heap is the farmers gold
mine, and he should make the saving of
manure one of the main objects in his farm
economy. We are now digging drains to
carry off all the water from the barns, pig
pens, sheds, etc. l am determined to have
dry barn-yard. The aim is to catch all
the water, and carry it off in under drains,
before it can come in contact with any of
the manure. Besides the inconvenience of
walking about muddy premises, and the
discomfort of the animals, there can be no
doubt that we suffer great loss from the
teaching of the manure. Where one pound
of ammonia is lost from excessive fermen-
tation and evaporation, ten pounds are lost
from leaching-to say nothing of the loss
of phosphates, potash and other soluable
salts. Even as capital farmer as John
johnson says he had a leak in his barn
yard for forty years, and he commenced
several miles for the purpose of absorbing
and utilizing the dark colored juices that
drained out Of his manure heaps. This is
very desirable; but it is still more desirable
to make the yards SO dry that the straw
and manure will absorb all, or nearly all,
the rain that falls upon it. When the yard
is surrounded with sheds, and a drain is
dug OH the outside to catch and carry off
all the water, and when all the barns are
spouted, and not drop of the water is
allowed to escape into the soil, this object
can easily be attained, especially on grain
farms, where we have abundance of straw.
Manure-cellars are all very well, when
properly managed; but we can certainly
prevent our manure from running to waste
without them. have a large basin, four
or five feet Deep in the centre of my yard,
into which the manure from the horse and
cow-stables, pig-pens, ETC., is wheeled
There ought to be tank in the centre of
it, from which the liquid manure can be
pumped back on to the heap when it
becomes dry; and into this tank a few
bushels of gypsum should be thrown every
year. The gypsum, when a solution, will
convert the carbonate of ammonia in the
mannre-heap into sulphate of ammonia,
by evaporation.
In most barn yards, manure ferments
very little during our cold winters. There
is not enough of it together to generate
heat enough to keep out the frost. 1t is
too often allowed to remain in heaps us
thrown out from the stables and pig pens.
Horse and sheep manure readily ferment-
often injuriously so-while pig and COW
manure are cold and sluggish. Mix them
together in a compact heap, and they will
gradually ferment and make excellent
manure by Spring. But the heap must be
kept free from excessive moisture; if too
wet, it will not ferment at all.

Rats and Mice-Vermin.PrOof Walls.
BY A. Il. ALLEN, TOMS RIVER, n. J.

Constant complaints are made through
the press of the increase of rats and mice
throughout the country. The only way to
get rid of them etectually is to SO construct
our houses, barns, and other buildings,
that they cannot hdrbor them. To insure
this, cellar bottoms should he cemented,
and the walls also, unless they are solidly
laid up with brick or stone and mortar
Every basement of u house where the sleep.
ers are close to the ground should be filled
up between these to level with their tops
with cement or grouting and the boards or
plank then nailed on, leaving not a hairs
breadth, if possible, between the grouting
and the floor. Neither rats nor mice can
then get under. We built a set of stables
in this way fifteen years ago, and no vermin
have ever found harbor under the floor nor
have gnawed through it. Sometimes they
have got in through door or window, but
by removing anything standing against the
walls, behind which they have found tenn
rorary shelter, so that small terrier dog
could pass around, he Immediately caught
them, and there was at once an end put to
the nuisance.
If the walls of house be of wood, before
lathing and plastering inside, lay coat of
mortar and small stones or cement four or
five inches thick, level with the floor of
of each story, between the studs and flush
with them, or what, perhaps, would be bet
ter, fit in pieces of two inch hemlock plank.
Neither rat nor mouse can gnaw through
hemlock, for it Immediately fills his mouth
with sharp slivers on attempting it. Then
if they ever get into the cellar or basement
through door or window, they cannot
ascend to the upper stories and find shelter
and breeding places between the lathing
and siding.
If the walls be made of brick, they
ought to be built up hollow; the plaster
inside can then be laid directly to them
which leaves no harbor for vermin. If the
walls be solid, as is generally the case, they
must be furred out, lathed and plastered;
but before doing this, fill up the space
between the mop-board and wall with
cement or strips of hemlock, and this will
keep out mice. The space here, as houses
are commonly built, is not wide enough to
admit rats.
Rats and mice are destroying millions
of property every year among us, and
besides are very filthy and loathsome. But
yet we continue to go on and make nearly
every building we erect a perfect warrea,
shelter, and home for them.

COOKING IN BOILING OIL.-Alexander
Forsyth-who seems to be an original
genius, in addition to being pupil of one
of Louis Phillippe's cooks-says that while
water bols at 212o, fatty oils boil only at
from GOO to 1000, and that while tough
and lean meat is made tougher and leaner
by boiling in water, it may be made tender,
and have the requisite fattiness supplied,
by being boiled in suet. He says that a
thin lean strip of beef, of the toughest and
cheapest character, may he rolled into a
cylinder-shaped mass, bound with cords,
and boiled in suet, in small vessel of
nearly its own size and shape $50 that but
small quantity of the fat will be needed, J
and thus made fat, tender, and fit for an
epicure. The experiment is simple, easily
tried in any kitchen, and it looks prom
Using.
TEACHING HORSES TO WALK.-For
every day use, the most economical gait
for horse is fast walk; and yet not half
the thought is given to this essential that
there is to other things that secure to a
horse name rather than intrinsic value
Colts can be taught to walk fast by follow
ingthem for half day together (somc one
leading) with small switch, starting them
when inclined to 60 slow, into quicker
pace. After they are harnessed, keep fast
walking in mind, and when on level ground
or going up hill with light load, urge
them to their utmost, until four miles an
hour becomes habit.
