Every day developes something new
and valuable for the farmer. Not one
10 ten thousand would have thought Of
the following plan for saving manure,
and adding TO the comfort of his stock.
Mr.. Giddings, Of ILL.,, who recommends
IL, proceeds 10 this manner: He fills q
stall or large bin 10 his stable during
dry weather with palverized clay, road
scrapiDgs or common soil. With this
he covers the floor of the stall three
inches in depth, and then places the
litter for the animals bedding on it.
By this means all the urine will be alb
sorbed, and It's wealth of nitrogen saved;
and such Is the absorbing power Of dried
earth, that one three inch flooring will
not be so thoroughly saturated in long
time, as to require replacing. He sa
his experiment required but one bio OF
pulverized earth TO absorb the urine Of
ten or twelve cattle during the stabling
season, and that two men with a team
filed the bin in one day. One ton Of
the saturated earth is worth more than
the same weight of even fresh saved
dung. The average amount Of plant
food thus saved from the stalls is fully
1oubie, aud in much better condition
OF use.--Jomnaf of The Farm.

provide for those dependant upon them. Pro-
vision to be certain must be immediate. The
only immediate provision is BY Life Insurance.
great and important question is, where shall
insure Reason, selfrespect, self-intercst,
the laws OF trade and commerce that govern a
thrifty and intelligent people indicate that
man should insure at home, where he lives,
makes his money, pays his taxes and expects
to leave his property and his family. 1t Is as
humiliating as II is ruinous for us to send mil
lions OF dollars out OF our State annually for
Lie Insurance that should be kept at home
Money 10 Maryland Is scarce, interest high, and
property low, because we are sending so much
OF II away. There is certainly no necessity
for this, because equal intelligence and equal
morals will make Savings Banks, Life and Fire
Insurance Companies, Lawyers, Doctors, Mer-
chants, or anything else, here eg1al to those in
other States. IL is an axiom that in all kinds
OF business danger, difficulty and loss increases
in ratio Of distance. Recent experience proves
clearly that 1t is safer and better in both Life
and Fire to be insured at home. IL is poor
compliment to ourCitizens and State. and 10
bad taste to depreciate our own Institutions
and indirectly dePreciate those who control
them.
fortunately LOT our stale prosperity, the
people are beginning to see this Our last
January report to tho Comptroller of the

Respectfully, &c., J. NJ. Mas,
Congressional Election.

The Parkersburg Times and Gazette closes
an able article on the question Of the time of
holding the Congressional election in this
State, this year. as follows:
by the S6th section of Chapter eight of
the new Constitution. sSuch parts of the com
mon law, and the laws oil! this st tie as are in
force che" this Constitution goes into opera,
fion, anal are nat rrpugmnnt thereto. shuN he
and continue the n'cs Of tie State until altered
or repealed by the Leyi>lnture'
tNow, there is nothing in the new Cons
stitution nor in the Schedule which in any
manner, refers to the subject of the election
of members of Congress The SECTION above
mentioned only refers to the State officers and
consequently by we'll settled principle of
legal and Constitutional Interpretation, as we'll
as the express provision of the thirty sixth
section of article eight above referred to,
such laws as are not expressly repealed, and
are not repugnant thereto, must remain in
force, and consequently the regular election
for members of Congress ought to be held
according to the law as it now stands. There
will be no October election for State officers
this year, they being elected in August; and
the provision i'll the new Constitution upon
this subject may be altered in future, as the
Legislature thinks proper. In the meantime
the election OF members Of Congress will be
held on the fourth Thursday of October as
usual
