Tents for Poultry Exhibitions.

At the late New England Fair, at
Lowell, Mass, the poultry cages were
all arranged under a mammoth tent.
The plan was very satisfactory to all
concerned. Canvas affords complete
ventilation through the interstices be-
tween the threads, and at the same time
there are no perceptible currents, as
when air is obtained through windows,
and there is always plenty of light. At
exhibitions in halls the air is apt to be
too close for the health of the birds and
the comfort of the people who attend.
There can be no objection that we can
think of to canvas, when the weather is
not cold enough to make fires a neces-
sity. A tent can be we'll warmed, eve n
in winter, but not without considerable
trouble. A very large hall is needed
when the show is extensive, and there
is frequently difficulty in hiring a suit
able one. Large pavillions are kept to
let, in various parts of the country, and
they are so light as to be easily trans
ported to any place where they are
wanted. We commend the plan to the
consideration of poultry societies.

Materials for Manure.

The manure pile may be augmented
from many sources outside the stables
or barn yard. Much waste matter is
lying around in every village or hamlet
in the country that might be gathered
up at very little expense. We do not
know a country town of hundred or
two inhabitants in which some poor fell
low would not be glad of a job to gather
up ashes, leather scraps, tanners ottal,
tan-bark, sawdust, chip-dirt, straw and
refuse generally; all of which would
make valuable additions to the compost
heap. Old boots and shoes should be
reduced to charcoal by covering them
with a pile of chips and burning them
slowly, keeping the ashes heaped over
them. They are then easily reduced to
powder. Old wooden rags and waste
from shoddy factory are very valuable
as manure. Bones, above all things,
should not be overlooked; nor oyster
shells, which. when burnt, make val
liable lime. Thousands of tons of such
matter go to waste every year, not be-
cause it is not worth the cost of gather
ing, but because farmers do not appre-
ciate how valuable this waste matter is.

Points of Prince NapOleOn's New
Pamphlet.

Prince Napoleon's pamphlet, La Yer,
ite a mes Cdlo1nntateurs, is very curious
apology. it is, moreover, useful con-
tribution to the secret history of the
war between France and Prussia. 1t
shows Denmark to have been the first
and Italy the last ope of the Emperor
Napoleon. We gather from it that so
confident at the outset were the Emper-
or and his Minister'S of securing the act
i've aid of little Denmark, that the Prince
Napoleon was actually named Comman-
derin Chief of the "French and Danish
land and sea forces" and that on the
23d of July he submitted to the Empe.

Admiral la Ronciere de Noury is styled
"Chef d'etat-major pour les forces de
mer Franchises ct Danoises," and Gen.
Schmith "Chef d'etat-major pour les
forces de terre Franchises ct Danoises."
On the morning of the 9th OF August
we are told that the Emperor visited
his cousin in his tent at Chalons, and
frankly said: 'Things are going badly.

campaigns, are very remarkable.

Shooting i'm England,

An illustration Of the value attached
in England at the present day to sport
ing property has lately been afforded
in the case OF an estate called Down
ham, i'll the great sporting county of
Norfolk, famous for partridge and
pheasant shooting. This was sold last
year by the Duchess of Cleveland, and
after very smart competition was
knocked down for $45O,O00 to gentle
man named Mackenzie, whose brother
bequeathed to him colossal fortune,
made by executing railway contracts in
France. The land is so poor that it
scarcely, for agricultural purposes,
realizes 5000 a year, but no sooner
had Mr.. Mackenzie purchased it than a
gentleman offered to lease the shooting
at $1,000 year, and few months ago
the Earl of Dudley offered Mr.. Macken,
zie $500,0OO for the property. More
recently Lord Dunmore has received
100000 for barren Scotch island, a
sort of Ultima Thule. Probably fifty
years hence the same sort of thing will
be. going on here. AS it is, there are at
the present moment Americans renting

Absorbent Powers of Mellow Soil.

Experiments have shown that mel.
low, loamy soil is capable OF absorbing
in twelve hours, when exposed to a
moist atmosphere, an amount of water
equal to two per cent. of its weight. If
any argument were needed to keep the
soil mellow, here is a most powerful
one to convince us. For this property
possessed by mellow soil is one that
in dry season is able to give it the
power of maturing IL crop, Hhen a
hardened surface would he unable to do
so. A surface that is impenetrable to
the atmosphere, of course, could not
absorb any of the moisture with which
the atmosphere is charged. But, when
rendered free from Jumps by repeated
plowngs and borrowings, each change
of temperature causes a circulation
of air throughout the mass Of soil,
which is free then to absorb all the
moisture coming in contact with it
until it is saturated. So, then, the more
the soil is mellowed 10y cultivation, the
less it is inuriously affected by drought,
and the better it is enabled to mature a
fair crop in spite of tie absence Of rain.

Ammonia as Motive Power for Or.
gans and Sewing Machines.
The Scientife American Saws:

There is a great want of simple and
portable power for driving the bellows
of large organs in our churches and
music halls. Water, steam, caloric en-
gines, heavy weights, and lastly, elec.
trlcity, have been tried, and may sue
ceed on occasions, but practically the
exposure, danger from fire, and un.
wieldy character of the attachment, un-
less it is the electrical, stands in the
way OF universal application. The one
man power is usually the last resort of
musicians, and the man who blows the
bellows is often more important char
| acter than the musician himself.
Our advice has been frequently asked
in this matter, and in casting about for
answer, we have bethought ourselves of
ammoniacal gas as motive power wor-
thy of careful experimental trial. 1t
is now a good many years since this use
of ammonia was proposed, and ammo
niacal engines were applied to street
cars and to pumps, and still they have
not met with general acceptance, and
few persons have even heard of them.
The trial trip of the omnibus in Paris,
propelled by liquified ammonia, con-
fined in cylinders under the seat, was
reported as perfectly successful, and a
similar result has been arrived at on
street cars in New Orleans.
Our knowledge of the force exerted
by liquid ammonia at given tempera-
lures is now well fixed, and the cost of
liquetaction, the proper means to EN-
ploy, and all practical questions ought
to have been thoroughly worked out
long before this. AS ammonia attacks
copper and brass, the packing and
mounting OF the engines would have to
be made of iron. The saponifcation of
the ammonia with the lubricating oil is
said to be no detriment. but rather to
diminish friction. The plan of the
company in Paris was to have a large
central factory for COMPRISING ammonia
gas into iron cylinders, in the same way
as water is charged with carbonic acid,
and to deliver these receivers to Gus
toners in all parts Of the city. The
cylinder containing the liquid ammonia
would be provided with couplings and
screws ready for the stationary piston,
and the company's agents would place
it in position and remove the exhausted
receiver, just rs the soda fountain is
kept in running order by large dealers.
1t would only require the opening of
stop cock to set the piston in motion,
and it would run as long as the expan-
sive force of the gas was sutti
cient to propel it. Such an arrange
ment as this ought to be feasible, and
theoretically there would appear to be
no difficulty in the way of its universal
adoption. 1t would not only be appli-
cable to organs, but to pumps, sewing
machines, and y wide range of other
work
