4 few Suggestions About Making Manure
By c. +. DETWILER.


Judging from the general interest ex-
pressed, if not displayed il agricultural
circles, we have reason TO hope for great
reform in farm management in East Ten
nessee, which we all admit is greatly need
ed. We form clubs, read agricultural pa
pers, write essays, have discussions, pick
mics, fairs, big speeches, &c, &c, but ADORE
al things let US remember that plans and
calculations, though ever so big, If not car
ried out, will never accomplish anything.
How to manufacture manure, and how to
prevent it from spelling, is the general
topic among some of our friends and some
of them talk of building high stables and
keeping the manure in out of the rain.
To this, l will try to give a few sugges-
tions that may aid little. First, how to
manufacture manure, Always keep your
hay, straw, and other "roughnessn tOgeth-
er about the stable, have a small lot at the
stable to keep the stock in during fall, win
ter and spling. All stock should be kept
in the stable at night, from early fall till
late in the spring, and fed well enough to
be kept in good order. If you have not an
abundance of straw for bedding, leaves
from the woods, scraped up together with
the fine rich trash that lies underneath,
will answer for very good substitute. The
manure should be kept all on one heap not
scattered about to be wastedby sun and rain.
a rail pen that will contine it in a small
6uOuHu SDtcS p' IAdht 4C rise 10 q arg III VI
between three ana six feet, answers the
purpose very well. If you have a large
proportion of raw material which you can
not feed, quantity of lime now and then
scattered over the heap will help to decom-
pose it. The droppings should be gathered
up from the lot regularly and put on the
heap. Never count on making manure
while your stock is running at large. Now
as how to keep it from spelling. Stable
manure is not near as hard to Keep from
spelling as sweet potatoes. 4 few rich
farmers in New York and PENNSYLVANIA
who can afford to build barns at a cost of
from three to five thousand dollars keep
their manure in the dry but very large
majority of the very best farmers of those
States don't do that, and could not be ner-
suaded to do it; and to those readers of the
CHRONICLE, who are poor like myself and
therefore must content themselves by
building their manure pen out in the
weather would give this consolation
don't be alarmed about your manure
spelling, for it will pay to put it on the
land even after it is rotten. The idea of
keeping manure in the stable all winter is
more absurd than funny. II is bad policy
TO keep manure in the stall more than a
week, and if tits piled out in a nice pen,
COW and horse manure mixed together
which it always should be, it will never
spoil.

Soluble Glass for Cisterns.

L. Chidester, Massillon, Ohio, writes /;
81 see in the Times that two coats of So
luble glass applied to cement cisterns will
neutralize the effect of the lime in the CO.
ment and prevent hardening of the water
Please inform me through the Times how
to prepare, how to apply, and where to OBJ
tain the solution, and the cost of aquantity
sufficient to coat over cistern which will
hold $50 barrels of water. 1 have recently
built one, and the water is so strongly i'm
less.n
Repy.-Soluble glass may be procured
through any druggist, who, if he has not
any in stock, can procure it through a
wholesale druggist of New York. The So
luton in water is plentifully brushed over
the surface of the cement, the lime Of
which enters into combination with it,
forming an insoluble compound. What
the cost of the quantity required would be
we cannot tell with any exactness.

Best Feed for FattenIng Cattle.

A farm er in fattening cattle should bear
IN mind that it does not pay to feed grain
to animals, that do not take on flesh rap.
idly, and that his main object should be
to get the most out of his fodder possible.
If his stock is pure, and will not take on
flesh rapidly, it would be far more profita-
bic to sell them off, and buy better ami
mails. In feeding twelve quarts of meal
the last four quarts are worth twice as
much as the first four for fattening pur-
poses. Some farmers complain that
they do not get pay for what grain they
feed out; but it is only those who feed
light that thus complain whether the
animal is to be fed long or short time
it should have heavy feeding. Corn-meaI
Is considered the most profitable by those
who feed meal largely. II farmer has
potatoes, or other roots, it is we'll enough to
iced those in part but farmer will do
bettor to exchange some Of the roots for
corn than to feed roots altOgether.-Yock

Highly Complimentary.

since spent some time in Havana informs US
that the remark was current in society there
that toe Spanish Government were regularly
paying S4O,0 COZ year 10 the sOn-in-law OF Sec
rotary h"-Nctg York Sun.
That may be, but we have heard of cur
rent remarks in society that were not veri-
fled when subjected TO examination. 1t is
our Judgment, however, that the people of
the United States, if pecuniaTy compli-
ments are in order, should make up a tes-
hmonial for Secretary Fish himself, and
present him million or so for his inesti-
mable service in keeping us out of a fool
sh war with Spain. The cold-blooded
good sense of the old Secretary is worth
many millions TO the country in this
emergency Cincinnati Commercial

Swine.

When the farmer has so little considera-
ton for his real interests as to provide such
accommodations for his swine while they
are Transforming his corn into pork, he has
no business to anticipate successful results.
Any animal, to fatten readily, should be
maintained under conditions favorable to
its comfort and quiet. If confined to a
muddy Enclosure, where the discomfort of
one situation keeps it perpetually on the
tramp in search of one more favorable, or
where it is obliged to turn over tons of earth
every day in search of food, it will not fat
ten kindly. Every one understands the
impossibility of fattening an OK while Sc
we're labor is enforced, and should likewise
understand that a hog, when compelled to
labor from morning until night, can not be
any more successfully fattened. Where
good, comfortable, dry quarters are pro-
vided, which protect the animal from the
inclemency of the weather, which conduce
to it's quiet and repose, which prevent the
possibility of food being wasted, and re-
move the necessity of eXertion when the
animal desires to eat, the farmer can ex-
pect his feeding operations, other things
being attended to with equal judgment, to
result satisfactorily.-LiUe Stock Journal.
Knoxville weekly chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1875, 1873-11-26
Roots as Manure.

The Agricult,wist says at has been found
that the roots of good crop of red clover
left on an acre after the crop was removed
weighed $50 ponds, or from three to three
and half tons. The same examination
gave an acre ofrye roots, 5, 400 pounds. All
of this matter is valuable for the use of
such crops as may be grown, both during
and after their decomposition. The we'll
known superiority ofclover as manuring
crop, however, is not due alone to the
great amount of organic matter, taken
mainly from the atmosphere in which this
matter is deposited. The roots reach deep
~ in to the soil, and on their decomposi-
ton they serve to draw moisture from the
subsoil. and by the decomposition of fer
tilizing matter to a considerable depth,
they iudnce the descentof the roots of
other crops to a point where they are
much more sure of moisture during n
drought than could be if nearer the sur
face

Feeding Corn TO Hogs.

As another evidence Of the increased profit
OF feeding corn on the farm to swi &c. over SELL
ing the grain in market, writer in the Cincin-
NATL Gazette gives the following testimony:
In August, 1872, 1 bought thirty-seven head
weight being l26 pounds cost Of the lot, one
hundred and eighty-siX dollars and forty-eight
cents. on December 10th, when 1 sold them,
the average weight was 20 pounds, or a gain Of
IA pounds per head They ate twelve bushels
of corn apiece. This, at twenty-five cents per
bushel, would be three dollars. The total cost
of the hogs, when fattsned, was, therefore, two
hundred and sIty-seVen dollars and forty cents
TO three hundred and ninety-nine dollars and
sixty cents. Balance in favor Of feeding, one
hundred and one dollars and twelve cents. BY
feeding corn it brought me nearly forty,eight
cents per bushel."

EDITORS CHRONICLE: There has been
wonderful slaughter among the hogs with
in the last three days. The sudden change
in the weather has been quite favorable for
that business. Several hundred left our
county this week for the Southern mar
ket r. a. Davis IL Co took about two
hundred, and Gass & Co. over three hun

If many of our farmers would adopt the
plan of DR.. w. II. Trotter, no doubt they
would make their farms yield more abund-
antly, save labor and improve their lands.
In the fall of 1872 he concluded to try an
experiment on one acre for wheat. He
1irst plowed his ground; then hauled from
his barns eighty-five loads of stable ma
nure then plowed again and sowed
it in wheat. This acre was the poorest of
twenty-eight acre field, but yielded
thirty-three bushels and forty-siX pounds
of wheat. As soon rs the wheat could be
removed from the ground, he prepared
the same acre and planted it in corn and
yielded seventy and half bushels. The
value of the yield of the one acre for the
year 1878 is-S50.6j for the wheat at 81.
per bushel, and $685. for the corn at 80
cents. Total, $3.50. Who will beat the
Doctor and select his acre out of n poor,
upland field?
