THE SITUATION.

Continued wet weather during and after
harvest, made it impossible to secure the crops
in good order. The light yield, intcriorqual-
ity, and remarkable low price at which it was
forced upon the market, paid very little more
than the actual expense Of harvesting. The
consequences are, farmers generally cannot
meet their promises to pay Disappointment

PROFITS OF POULTRY

A correspondent Of the Concord
fN. II. Statesman, says that "a
farmers daughter, in delicate health,
living on the Vermont side OF Con
nec,icut river, took charge of Twelve
hens in February, 1867. Part of the
hens were set with turkeys eggs
The flock Of chickens and turkeys
were quite numerous and well fatted
by Thanksgiving. Seventy-seven
eggs were used in the family during
the first year, and seven turkeys Uhc
best ones) given away at Thanks
giving. Mach the same liberali,y
was used each year. The total cash
received for eggs and poultry during
the three years was 1884. so. The
cost of keeping was fully met by the
eggs used in the family; so the above
amount was clear profit. In addition
to this, the invalid is much improved
in health. The food for the fowls
was maen!y corn and cob.meal, given
warm in cold weather; boiled potatoes
and hog scraps, an excellent add
ton, given occasionally. Few know
the real profit of keeping hens. SO
many think, they don't pay. that little
care is given them. Let them have
good comfortable quaters and TODD
properly prepared, and they are the
most profitable investment a farmer
can make, requiring so little capt
tall Many Of our farmers girls
aud boys might follow this example
with great benefit; even if not to so
much profit as here represented, i,
would furnish them with funds suffi-
cient to enable them to procure many
articles Of taste, which could moi
otherwise be had. Country Gentle

LIQUID MANuRE.-We have recent
ly seen the instructive record made by
distinguished European farmer of
experiments made for ten successive
years in saving the urine six months
in the year from fifteen cows, and also
the solid portions, a, bestowing the
same on fourteen acres of land, treat
lug seven with one kind and the resi-
due with the other. At the end o.
the ten years, the land treated with
the liquid portions, and through al
the time planted with the same crops,
and yielding equally well. was in mucl,
better heart and in every way better
prepared for future grow,hs.
His process of saving it was very
simple. A large excavation was mad,
in the earth, which was further made
water-light by cement bottom and
sides and covered with an inexpen-
slve roof. This was filed with loan
and the urine as it came from the
stables conducted into it by means
ofspouts. In the spring, this impreg-
nate mass was carried to the field,
and applied the same way as the solid
portions, with the effect above stated.
What binders our Eastern farmers
from adopting this or a similar mode
for saving what, in not few cases, goes
entirely TO waste, and always nor,
or less so? We must husband our
manurial esou,ces, or our farms will
lose their present fertility. and lapse
into semi if not complete barrenness.
After the hay harvest is gathered,
and before the corn is to be cut and
the potatoes dug, why cannot little
time and little money be appropri
ated in this most desirable way?
II the construction Of vat is not
among the possibilities, the next most
available thing is absorbents. Moth
ing is better than muck, and no time
is better to secure it than the dr..
weather of August and the months fol-
lowing. II there is no muck to be
had on your own farm or that of you
near neighbours, get supply ofloam,
and ifyou cannot get loan, get sand.
Henry L. johnson. man who has al
ways made money by farming, he id
es constantly increasing the value
and producliveness Of his farm, uses
nothing but sand for his cattle to
stand on during the winter, filling the
stables herewith some three feet
deep. We do not consider this the
wisest plan, but it is better to Go this
than to allow of this waste.

AMERICAN SLANG.-The utter ignorance OF

RADICAL LAMESr.-The Cleveland Herald,
one OF the most radical papers in the United
States, laments over the acts of the Radical
Congress in this Wise:
so far. this session, Congress gives no hope
of lifting from the backs Of the people any
portion OF the burden that bears SO crnelly
upon the industrial interests of the land
With n revenue that is entirely beyond the
needs oi the Government, raised by exactions
that under like circumstances no other peo-
pie on earth would submit to, our Represen-
tatives seem utterly Indifferent TO the demand
for reduction Of taxation. We tell our Sena-
tors anu Representatives that the great practi-
cai qnestion that absOTbs attention among
the people Is the taxes they are compelled TO
pay. direct and Indirect, upon the articles Of
manufacture and upon the articles in which
they traffic, and upon the actual necessaries Of
life. '' ..'-'| ... ..'.'s |"1 ~ 7'T
And YET What is Congress doing? wrang-
hing upon questions of Southern reccnstruc-
hon, into which enters more of personal pride
than anything else. Ii Congress will only
address itself 10 the rslef of the Northern
States, party issues for the. next Presidential
campaign will take care Of themselves. And
If Congress does not do this the people will
surely rebuke the short comings of their serv-
ants IN way they will never forget 90
Let both branches 20 ~ work 10 revise the
tax laws, and relieve the people from an Op-
preston that is killing out all energy, and We
had almost said all hope. Taxes, taxes, taxes
are skeletons that stare every man, woman,
and child in the face. Taxes, taxes, taxes,
everywhere. Taxes, taxes, taxes morning,
noon and night. We breakfast. dine. and
sup on taxes and at night pillow our heads on
taxes.
