How TO Save Manure.

We wish we could get all the farm boys
that read the american AgricuJt'yiSt to
try the plan we have to recommend. We
have two bows who 'bossn the Job on our
own farmland do nearly all the work
themselves-and they soon feel real in
terest in what we call our Savings
Bank
We have in the centre of the barn-yard,
a basin, or hole with sloping sides. Into
this bason the old fashioned plan was to
throw the manure, promiscously, any
where, just as it happened, and the result
was that for several weeks or months 1t
would form only thin layer, spread out
all over the bottom of the basin. 1t was
too thin to ferment, and had slovenly
appearance. Our plan now is to wheel or
cart the manure into one corner of the
basin making a kind of hot bed of it.
Make it four or five feet high, and as you
ret more manure, increase the length and
width of the heap, but always Keeping 1t
in q compact mass. 1t soon begins to fer
ment, and to get warm and throw oil
steam. This pleases the boys, and 1Ue, too,
like to see it fermenting, because we know
if the heap is properly managed there is no
loss of ammonia. That is an exploded
notien. There is water in the form of
steam or vapor escaping, mixed with a
trace of volatile oils and carbonic acid,
but these are of no manurial value.
This little fermenting heap is the nest
egg.n 1t has an attraction for boys. They
seem to like to clean out the pig pens and
the COW stables, i'll order to get manure to
add to the heap. They have horse and
cart, and if they can find anything that
will make manure, it is drawn TO the cav
ings bank and deposited.
Now, is not this better than having n
heap of horse-litter at the stable door,
where it gets so dry and hot as to fire
fang?n or better than having another
heap or heaps on the side of the cow-sheds
where the drippings from the caves wash
out much of the best substance from the
manure? or than having the pig-sties
reeking with filth ? or the sheep yard so
foul and damp that there is a great risk of
the foot-rot. and no possibility of the sheep
doing well?
The great point is to get the heap start
ed. Many a rich man dates his wealth
from his first deposit in the Savings Bank.
Once get little manure into the heap and
start the fermentation, and it will keep
growing bigger and bigger. Manure scat
tered about the premises is soon frozen
solid, and remains in a crude state until
spring. But this snug little heap will not
only keep itself warm, but like yeast, will
induce fermentation in the fresh manure
that is daily added to it. twill, as we can
state from actual experience, keep ferment'
ing slowly during the coolest weather in
winter. But it would not commence in
such cold weather, hence the importance
of starting the heap now. What we gair
by this fermentation, we will tell the boys
at some future time.-Anericdn AgT'i

An Important Measure.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: | wish to call
your attention to an important measure
now pending in the Legislature, My own
attention was directed to the matter by ].
H. Williams, Esq, Gen'l Agent of the
Tennessee Agricultural and mechanical
Association of Nashville.
You are aware that this Association is
prodigiously in debt, and that, unless some
relief soon comes, it will be hopelessly in
volved Our own Association, though not
so deeply involved, is in debt and must
have relief.
The measure alluded to is in the form of
an Gan act for the benefit of Agricultural
Fairs and Associations" and is as follows:
SECTION /. Be it enacted By tie General
assembly Of the State OF Tennessee, That
all Agricultural Associations, heretofore
incorporated or hereafter TO be incorporat-
ed by the laws of the State, shall have
the power TO raise money for payment Of
grounds, making Improvements or liqui-
dation of any debt made for such purpose
by issuing notes or bonds, bearing rate
of interest not exceeding ten per cent. per
annum, secured by mortgage on the prop
erty of the company.
SEC. >. BE ii enacted As said associa-
tions are conducive to the public good and
deserve the fostering care of the State, said
notes or bonds shall be exempt from taxes
for the same length of time that the
grounds are exempt from taxation.
It is earnestly hoped that the above ACT
will become law. Great benefit will ac.
crue TO the Agricultural Associations OF
the State by it. G. w. CHARLToN.

Kindness 70 Mich Cows.

A correspondent of the Ohio Farmer
writes One Of the great errors in over
coming that are unquet while being
MIXED is TO whip, beat and bawl at them
This is generally done, and the COW be-
comes afraid and angry, and instead of be-
coming better grows worse. Mich cows
can not be whipped or terrified into stand
ing quietly, gently and patiently during
milking. They dislike to be MIXED, for
they know that loud words and hard
blows always attend the operation. They
dread to see the mixer as the little urchen
breads to see the birchen rod in the hand
Of an any pedagogue, when he expects to
have it applied to his back. A COW kind
~ and properly treated is pleased to sec
the mixer, gladly awaits his or her APP
prooch and submits with pleasure to the
operation of being MIXED.
Every one having experience with cows
knows this to be true. But the COW is OF
posed to change of mixers; she soon
becomes attached to one person who per-
forms the operation and does not willingly
and freely give down her milk to another
person therefore have one mixer to GER
tain COWS, and bear in mind, if you eX-
change mixers it is at the expense of q
loss of milk and of injury to the COW.
All animals appreciate kind treatment
and resent abuse. See that those who
milk them control themselves, govern
their passions, speak low and kindly under
almost any provocation, and soon the cows
will learn that they are not going TO be
abused and will submit to the operation.
Milking should be performed at regular
hours, not varying fifteen minutes one day
from another. No talking or laughing
should be permitted.

a good deal of interest was manifested
on the lover part of Gay street yesterday
in consequence of the exposure of a fraud
in the butter market, whereby one of the
"tricks of trade was shown up by one Of
our dealers in the oleaginous compound
The vender of the butter was from Sewer
county aud had quite large lot of it,
which he wished to sell to Mr.. Samuels.
That gentleman never buys .'pig in a
poken and while examining the article,
stuck his knife in tempting roll and was as
tcnished to find it met with an obstruction
lie couldn't account for it and investigat.
Cd further, when "a large stone was
found enclosed, with a thin coating Of but
ter surrounding it. This was true of sew
eral more, ten rolls of which were weigh
ed, aggregating seventeen pounds, ten of
which were carefully washed limestone.
The butter seller declared he had nothing
to do with the matter, but that he had pur-
chased it from other parties, He didn't
sell his butter.

Hints for the Housewives.

There is nothing better for cleaning
painted woodwork than a piece of COM
mon India rubber. Rub the wood as if you
were erasing pencil marks, and then pass
a dry brush over it. No water is neces-
sary.
BOrax is a useful article to have about
the house. A half pound will drive the
reaches from the premises. A large hand
full in powder to ten gallons of water will
effect a saving of fifty per cent. in soap. 1t
is an excellent dentrifice, and one of the
very best articles known for cleaning the
scalp.
4 writer i'm one of our exchanges advises
ladies who have fuTs to cleanse, to take
Indian meal in large pan and rub them
with it-using no water, nothing but dry
meal and they will look AS good as new.
Alum and plaster Paris mixed with wa
ter, and used in liquid state, will form a
very useful cement, handy for many pur~
poses. II forms very hard composition,
and for fixingJ:amp tops nothing could be
better.
To mend china, take very thick solu-
ton OF gum arabic in water and stir in 1t
plaster OF Paris until the mixture becomes
of the proper consistency. Apply It with
brush TO the fractured edges OF the china
and stick them together. In three days
the article will be thoroughly ceInenttd
The whiteness Of the cement renders II
doubly valuable.

Mixed Grain.

An eastern farmer says: 1t has been our
custom for several years to SOW mixture
of oats and wheat for feeding stock, two
bushels of oats and one of wheat TO the
acre. The yield in bushels is greater. The
quality of the product is very superior; the
wheat is very plump it makes heavy,
rich and nutritious feed for stock. Peas
and oats are frequently sown together, to
be used as feed for young stock. Nothing
is better as fiesh-forming food. Oats aud
barley are also raised together We shoU Id
suppose the barley would ripen and burst
the shell before the oats would mature. 1t
is said the barley is retarded in ripening by
the shade of the oats, go that both reach
maturity at the same time.

The Agricultural College Bill.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Senator Nor
ril's bill charging the Government en-
dowment to agricultural and scientific col
leges will probably be brought up in the
House tomorrow. and an effort will be
made to pass it under suspension Of the
rules. Several presidents and leading pro-
fessors of institutions to be benefited by
the bill have been in town for some time,
and have worked up the subject so faith
fully that they feel willing to trust the bill
to the necessary two-thirds vote. A con-
ference of parties interested was held last
evening at Wizards Hotel, at which the
bill was thoroughly canvassed, and several
northumberland material, but designed
TO facilitate the passage-were agreed to.
Friends of the measure count on the vote
of nearly all the Southern and Wastern
members. The Kentucky delegation will
vote unanimously for the bill, and the
States to receive the benefits of the bill are
sfficient to insure its success.

CHAPPED HANDs.-Ina healthy condi-
ton the skin is kept supple by an oily Sc
erection, which answers the same purposes
as oiling leather. During warm weather
this secretion, in common with all the 9TH
er secretions of the skin, is more abundant
than in cold. When it is insufficient the
skin becomes dry and harsh ; and in those
parts of the body where the skin is thick
and subject to much motion, as on the
hands, it readily cracks or assures. The
| amount of this secretion is so much reduc-
ed in cold weather that the frequent wash
| ing of the hands with soap causes them to
chap readily, and this the more certainly
if the soap is not thoroughly washed off;
The alkali insoapis usually in excess, and
| this combines with the oily secretion, and
so deprives the skin of its natural lubrica-
tor. To prevent the hands from chapping,
| tien, be careful to wash all soap from them
oroughly in clean water. This will or
dinarfly suffice; but if not, twill be neces-
sary to make good the removed oil by the
use of glycerine, honey, mutton tallow,

MOLD on PREsERvEs.-Miss Lydia
Becker gave a valuable hint during a re-
cent discussion of the British Association
upon the Germ Theory" in which she
showed its bearing upon the making of
the preserves, and from keeping mold from
settling on the jam. According to the old
practice of leaving the pots uncovered for
several days, time was allowed for the
germs in the atmosphere to descend and
settle on the jam, which was capital soil,
and the result was plentiful crop of mold.
She therefore advised the ladies in the
section, when making preserves, to cover
up the pots while the sweet-meats were in
a heated condition.
TO make court-plaster, soak isinglass in
little warm water for twenty-four hours;
then evaporate nearly all the water by q
gentle heat, dissolve the residue in little
proof spirits of wine, and strain the whole
through piece of open linen.
The strained mass should be stiff jelly
when cool. Now, extend piece ofsilk on
u wooden frame and fit it tight with tacks
and wooden thread. Melt the jelly and APP
ply it to the silk thinly and eavenly with
a hair brush. A second coating must he
applied when the first is dried. When the
whole is dry, cover the surface with two or
three coatings of balsam of Peru, applied
in the same way. Plaster thus made is
very pliable, and never breaks.
