HOne.AEaRa Guan0.

A correspondent Of the Germantown
Telegraph, writes how to make guano :
esFrom time to time, as there are any
bones to dispose of, [ take them to my
hen-hOuse, lay them on fiat stone and
with an old axe break them no fine and
let the hens eat them. In the hem
house under the roost there is tight
floor, and over this floor I spread dry,
fine earth or muck, and occasionally as
the manure accumulates more earth is
spread over it. When I wish to clean
out the manure the contents are shovel
ed over and mixed together, and is
then in shape that it can be used at
any time or place. My practice is to
clean out spring and fall, and by hay
ing a supply of dirt to use when want
ed I manufacture and save with very
little labor or expense very valuable
fertiIizer-the quantity depending on
the number of hens kept; but the
amount of manure which can be made
from hens in this way is much larger
than one would suppose who has never
practiced it, and the value of it when
carefully saved and applied to the Gull
tivation of crops is probably more IN
proportion to the cost of keeping than
that of any other kind of stock kept on
a farm.

SUCCESS WITH FLOWERS. the fol-
lowing rules are attended to, success in
growing flowers from seeds is almost
certain. But if neglected, failure in
many instances. viii be. certain to fol-
low: 1. Sow the seed about the same
time that tomatoes and cucumbers are
put out in. the garden, and when corn
is generally planted in the fields. 2.
Make the bed rich and mellow and COW
or the seeds with very fine earth, from
a quarter to a half inch deep, according
to their size. 3. Shade the bed with a
board or paper, or IN some other way,
until the plants come up. 4. Keep
the ground moist by sprinkling on a
little water just at evening, daily, until
the seeds sprout. Then remove the
shades, but continue occasionally to
give the plants little application of
water, when the weather is dry, all the
season, until they blossom. Failure as
a general thing, is not because the seed
is bad but in most cases IS caused
either by covering the seeds too deep,
OF by letting the ground get dry down
below where they are located, so as to
destroy the roots before the germ
reaches the surface.

"always behind ?"
/" I say Dan, that is too much for a

we must aim to raise good meat. The
