A writer in the Turf, Field and Farm
has been experimenting for some years
in the manufacture of compost manures,
with a success far beyond my expecta-
tions. The following is the naodus
Operdndt:
A pit is dug Immediately in the rear
of the barn and stable, measuring five
feet in depth, twenty four feet in length,
and fifteen feet in width. This pit has
flooring and sides of brick, which is
cemented with concrete of cement, to
prevent loss by drainage. Into it is
first thrown a thin layer of unslaked
lime, three or four inches deep. This
forms an excellent foundation for your
future compost. All the bones which,
for the past year, have been collected
about the farm and thrown into heap,
are dumped in this pit and distributed
over the surface of the lime.
Next, all the ashes which have also
collected for year, and thrown under
a woodshed, prepared for the purpose,
are also dumped into the pit, over the
layer of bones. Over this is thrown all
the horse and cow droppings, the litter
from stable and COW sheds, and all the
refuse of the kitchen as they collect,
the lyes from the stable and cow shed
being regularly carried through cutters
to the pit. Occasionally the layers Of
lime, ashes, loose loan, ETC., are thrown
over the animal manure, and the same
process is continued from time to time,
until the pit is full.
A roof, constructed with moveable
wings covers the pit to admit the ac-
tion of the sun, ETC., and to guard
against heavy rains.
BY the following spring the bones
will have become decomposed, and
valuable compost ready for use. With
the aid of this compost, which I find
one Of the richest of fertilizers, beat
all my neighbors. on early vegetables
and fruits, and verify believe that with
frequent plowing il would dislnteg-
rate the tenacious Substance of clay
lands.

The Trade Of the West.

The following items are from the
Omaha Herald of recent date, and
gives an idea of the richness of the
traffic springing into existence as the
result of constructing railroads to the
Pacific, which is destined toincrease to
an extent little dreamed of only few
years ago:
A good deal of California wool and
leather is passing through our city, to
be manufactured in Boston.
The amount of Westward bound
freight on all the railroads has increased
in marked degree, during the last ten
days.
Four thousand nine hundred pounds
of silver bullions were received yester-
day, by Wells, Fargo & Cos Express,
from San Francisco.
We saw brick of silver yesterday
at the State Bank-the first one cast at
the Omaha Smelling and Refining
Works. Its weight is ,39 ounces
its purity is 979, and in coin its value
is 81, 1,657,68, There is also in the brick
$25. 90 in gold E
Forty cars passed through our city
yesterday loaded with tea and silk.
They come direct from China, and the
freight and back charges are nearly
$20, 900. This valuable cargo goes on
to New York by the Red Line. lG
= Ten cars loaded with silver ore from
the celebrated Emma mine, came
through to this city yesterday, and ten
more last night. 1t is sent in lots Of
twenty cars to acconodate vessels and
is disfined for Swansea Wales.

Hamilton has been sworn in as Sena-
tor from Texas.
The New Hampshire members of the
House were sworn in on Tuesday, and
took their seats. Their names are
Samuel N. Bell, Ellery A. Hibbard and
Hosea w. Parker, all Democrats.
The Senate has passed resolution
limiting business at the present session
to the Deficiency Appropriation bill,
the resolution for Joint Committee OF
Investigation into Southern outrages,
and the resolution instructing the Ju-
dietary Committee to report bill the
better to enforce law and order at the
South.
John FL. Edwards has been sworn in
as member of the House from the Sd
district of Arkansas.
During a debate in the Senate, Ames,
of Mississippi, made a speech in which
he stated that, Notwithstanding money
had been appropriated by the legisla-
ture of Mississippi for the suppression
of the Ku-Klux in that state, not one
member of that gang had been punish
ed, though outrages were numerous.
He further stated that the assassina-
tions at Meridian were the result of a
deliberate conspiracy against Repub-
lcans that over 800 murders of Re-
publicans had been committed in Louisi-
ana within the last sixty days, yet no
one had been punished.
The House has passed several resolu-
tions for speedy adjournment to next
December but the Senate has tabled
them all
The President has sent message to
both houses recommending such legis-
lation as, in the judgment of Congress,
shall effectually secure life, liberty and
property and the enforcement of law in
all parts of the United States. 1t was
referred in the House to select COM
mittee of nine, consisting of Messrs.
Shellabarger of Ohio, Butler of Massa-
chusetts, Scofield of Pennsylvania,
Dawes of Massachusetts,, Blair of Mich
igan, Thomas of North Carolina, Nor
gan of Ohio, Kerr ofIndiana, and Whit
throw of Tennessee.
Senator Sumner has presented in he
Senate a series of resolutions declaring
In substance, that the menacing of
Hayti with the navy, In case of her op-
position to annexation of San Domingo,
is a violation of the spirit of our con-
stitution and institutions, and contrary
to international law, and that it should
be disavowed by the government of the
United States; that the order of the
President to the naval officers for the
intimidation of Hayti is q. usurpation
of the war power of the constitution
and entirely inexcusable; that the en-
ployment of our navy to maintain Baez
in his usurped power as President of
San Domingo, and in his attempt to sell
his country in open violation of the
Dominican constitution is morally
wrong, and any transaction founded
upon it must be null and void.

A Cure for Dyspepsia.

In the Gazette Hebdomadaire DIR.
Contaret recommends for the form of
dyspepsia in which there is difficulty
in the digestion of starch articles of
food the use of the nitrogenous sub
stance developed in buds and grains
during their termination, and known
as diastaste or n1dltine. This sub
stance, as is generally known, induces
in hydrated starch the process of catal-
ysis, by which it is converted into dex-
trine and glucose-the forms which all
starch and sugar must assume before
they are fitted for nutrition. The or
ganic matter contained in the mixed
saliva, and fluids of the small intestine,
are, in health, sufficient to establish
this process but, in a condition of
the alimentary tract characterized by
alteration of deficiency Of saliva or in
testinal juices, this substance promises
to do for starch and sugar in intestinal
digestion what pepsin does for the al
buminoid articles of food. He employs
the remedy in doses of two to six grains
after each meal, and says that it never
acts pref ,.dicially on the digestive or
gans.

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
To Farmers.

OF all the dreary places, deliver us
from tho dreary farm houses, which so
many peoplezcal home. Bars for a
front gate; chickens wallowing before
the door; pig pens elbowing the house
in the rear; scraggy trees never cared
for, or no trees at all; no cheering
shrubs; no neatness. And yet, lawn,
and trees and a neat walk, and pleas
ant fence around it, don't cost great
deal. They can be secured little by
little, at odd times, and the expense
hardly felt. And if the time comes
when it is best to sell the farm fifty
dollars 50 invested will often bring
back five hundred. For a man is a
brute who will not insensibly yield to
higher price for such farm, when he
thinks of the pleasant surroundings it
offers to his wife and children. Farm
ers, beautify and adorn your farms;
set out orchards, shrubbery, shade
trees; lay of lawns; build good fences
put up good gates, and paint or white
wash your outhouses and fences.

A GREAT SECRET.

Nv friend here's o secret
BY which you may thrive:
I am ifty years old
And my wifes forty-fve-
A queen among beauties,
The Wedding guests said,
When we went to the church
With the priest, and were we'd.
That's thirty long years past;
And can syow,
She was no more beauty
To ne, then, than now
For never the scath Of .
Petulant frown
Has ploughed with its furrcws
Her young roses down.
And still, like a girl, when
Her praises i speak.
Her heart fairly bushes
Itself through her chest.
Her smile Il more tencer
For being less bright
And the little bit powder
That makes her hair white,
And all the soft patience
That shows through her face,
In my eyes, are only
Like grace upon grace.
For still we are lovers,
As ] am alive,
Though i, ssr, am nifty,
And she's forty-ive,
And here's half the secret
meant to unfold,
She don't know, nv friend.
Not the least, how to scold,
Nor does she get pettish,
And sulk to a pout,
So, since we fell IN love.
We never fell out 7
And here's the full secret
That saves us from strife:
i kept her q ssceetkearf,
In making her rifef
And il you but wed on
Ny pattern, you'll thrive,
For I, sir, am nifty,
Ny wife, forty-fivel

Quantity of Glover Seed to the Acre.
1. If clover seed is sowed with grain
the land should always remain nndis-
turbed for at least one year thereafter
for the purpose of allowing the clover
time to mature. 1t may be sown with
nearly all our cereals, such as rye, bar
ley, oats and wheat.
q We would not advise the sowing
of clover seed in the fall, and we believe
it is seldom if ever put in at that time.
Sow the seed among the winter wheat,
but early in spring, just as soon as the
ground thaws. Clover seed will find
its way deep enough into the soil with
out being covered with plow or harrow;
and whenever il is sown with oats, bar
ley or other spring grain, care should
be taken not to cover too deeply. The
seed may be scattered after the grain
is sown, and brush then passed over
the surface, although roller is prefer
able to anything else.
3. Ten to fifteen pounds of clover seed
is the usual quantity sown per acre.
but little too much 10 far better than
not quite enough.-Deitz's Farm Jour
nal
Alsike clover seed, being much
smaller than the ordinary varieties, a
less quantity is necessary.

Chalk for stock.

When an animal is found licking his
fellow, it is proof that uueasiness is
present in the stomach, and the licking
Of his neighbor is habit contracted by
instinct, with view of removing the
lnpleasantness. Unfortunately instinct
is not at all times sufficient to avoid
dangerous practices, and if we take for
granted that the stomach is at all times
fully charged with acrid matter, we
shall without hesitation find remedy.
Tt is only necessary to place within
their reach shallow troughs, in which is
kept supply of common chalk. If an
animal has superabundance of acrid
secretion, it will most certainly neu-
tralize the excess of acid. If an ami
NAL has not acid in excess, and par
takes of chalk, it will do no harm. 1t
is often too late to administer remedies
to young stock, and the placing of chalk
within their reach cannot be made too
early.
