is superior to all other nlanures; the only
difficulty with him is to get enough of it.
He knows also, that il Is not always valu-
able 10 proportion to its bulk one caI
load of well concentrated manure being
equal TO two OF more loads IN a coarse,
rough state. - - -
Straw is almost as dear in the market
as the best of hay, therefore it has be-
come too expensive an article to bed
stables with, and the farmer who uses il
freely for that purpose has not an eye to
strict economy. The substitute that we
can recommend Is dry earth. Every far
mer has plenty of it. Let any kind of
soil or subsoil be collected and put under
cover, convenient to the stables, to be
used as required. This can be done at
any season of the year when the ground
is not frozen, and an hour or two can be
spared from other work; there are many
such spare hours in the course of the year
that could not be better employed, or
even whole days. Z s3s-i"i.lt
The earth should be spread over the
whole surface of the stable floor, three
or four inches deep to begin with, and
as it becomes saturated with urine add
fresh earth until it becomes six, eight, or
more inches deep; when all of it is thus
saturated it may be removed to the man.
ure heap along with the excrementitious
matter of the animals. Whene yer, on
entering the stable, you find any offensive
smell arising from the floor, add more
fresh earth until the odor is all absorbed.
In this way ali the valuable manurial
salts are saved, locked up, so they cannot
be wasted, until carried to the field and
incorporated with the soil to feed sue
ceeding crops. &
The health of the stock is promoted
by having the atmospheric air of the
stable kept in pure state for breathing.
A little plaster of Paris sprinkled with
the dry earth on the stable floor will be
of some advantage as an absorbent of the
manurial salts.
The natural resting place for animals
TO lie down on is the face of the earth
They always arise from this natural bed
refreshed and full of vigor. After a
stretch and shake of themselves, they
feel as if a new life had been infused into
them, and they go forth to the duties of
the day with freshness that is pleasant
to behold
Now, this natural bed of earth, to lie
down on, il furnished exactly suited to
their nature, their wants and their condi-
ton, by good coating of soil, kept and
frequently renewed on the stable floor

Fever in AnilnnIs.

When your animal has fever all
stimulating articles are, by all means, to
be avoided. Bleeding to reduce the cir
culation, purging for removing irritating
substances from the bowels, cooling
drinks to aIay thirst and to supply the
decreased seeretions; rest and quiet to
tone down the system, are what common
sense would seem to require. This is
safer than to cram the animal with a
multiplicity of cures, without regard to
anything except the fact that something
is the matter. We trust farmers and
owners of animals will heed the admoni-
ton here given.

Remedy for insects i'm plants.

According to the Gardeners lLdgdzine,
hot water may be employed for the de-
structiOn of insects that most commonly
infest plants. Aphides quickly perish if
immersed in water heated to $50 degrees
Fahrenheit. We obtained from various
sources plants infected with the green fly,
and cleanscd them all by the simple pro-
cess of dipping. 1t became desirable to
ascertain the degree of heat the plants
could endure in the dipping process. A
number of herbaceous and soft-wooded
plants were therefore submitted to the
process of immersion. We found that
fuchsics were unframed at 40 degrees,
but at $50 degrees the young leaves were
slightly injured. Calceolarias suffered at
$50 degrees, but the plants were not
killed, though their soft tops persisted.
Pelargoniums were unhurt up to $50 de-
grees, but the slightest rise beyond that
figure killed the soft wood and the young
leaves cOmpletely.

THE REMOVAL OF THE DIS
ABILITIES.

1t is an evidence that the bitterness en-
gendered by the war, and so assiduously
cultivated by the Republican partisans for
years after its conclusion, is fast dimin-
lshing, when such man as Mr.. Stokes,
of Tenn, proposes bill removing all
political disabilities imposed by the Four
teenth Amendment to the Constitution of
the United States upon citizens for parti-
cipation in the late rebellion, and proYid-
ing that DO person so relieved shall be re-
quired to take and subscribe to what is
known as the "iron-clad test oath. "
Mr.. Ward (Republican) of New York,
said the bill would relieve even
jeff. Davis. Mr.. Stokes said it
made clean sweep. The House refused
to suspend the rules, yeas SO, nays 10.
All the Democrats voted yea, together
with the following Republicans: Messrs.
Buckley, Dockery, Fitch, Pierce, Platt,
Sargent, Stokes and Tillman. MIR. Stokes,
1t will be remembered, was the ultra Rad
ical, or negro candidate for Governor in
Tennessee in 1869, and was anxious few
months ago to turn the State over to q
military government, because, as he con-
lc1Qeu, T6DSlS NOltu VINO Hdu no IlguI ~
vote under the DISTINGUISHING test, Wa
were agreeably surprised to see SO sensi-
bic a measure introduced from such O
source. The pressure of events and
the demands of the times are
rapidly leading TO that which
ought to have been done as soon as the
war closed, and which, if it had been,
would have given real peace to the coun-
try, viz: universal amnesty The politi-
cal disabilities of the Fourteenth Amend
ment are unwise and unjudicious, even
from the standpoint of those who were
the most ardent in the prosecution Of the
war. When Gen. Grant dominates a Con-
federate soldier for Attorney General of
the United States-Mr. Amos L. Acker-
man-it is high time, all will say, that
the obstacles imposed in moment of
blindness by Malignant faction should
be removed from all his (Ackerman' >

Dry Earth for Bedding stables.

Of late much has been said and written
about 'earth closets, and their use seems
TO be appreciated as disinfectants and as
a source conducive TO good health. Dry
earth has also been used TO some extent
for bedding stables, and found to answer
all the good purposes expected from it.
