VALUE OF POULTRY MANURE
From actual experiment / has been
found that the dloppiugs from four
Brahmas for one night weighed in one
case exactly one pound, and in auoth-
er more than three-quarters ola pound,
an average Of nearly four ounces to
each bird. By drying this was re-
dueed to not quite one and one-half
ounces. Other breeds make less; but
allowing only one ounce per bird daily
of dried dung, fifty fowls will make in
their roosting house alone 1000
pounds per annum of the best manure
in the world. Hence one-half an acre
of poultry will make more than enough
manure for one acre Of land, seven cwt.
Of guano being the usual quantity ap-
piled per acre, and poultry manure
being even richer then guano in an-
monia and tertilizing salts. No other
stock will give an equal return in this
way: and these figures demand careful
attention from the large farmer. The
manure, before using, should be mixed
with twiceits bulk of earth, and then
allowed to stand in Z heap, covered
with a few inches of earth till decom-
posed throughout, when it makes the
very best manure ti.at can be had.

REMEDIES AGAINST GRAPE VINE
ISsECTs.-Among the various rene
dies which have been proposed in
France for the protection Of grape
vines from the ravages of vine insects
or phMlorera, one Of the latest con-
sists in the application of SCOT. For
this purpose the stump of the vine is
first laid bare, and about pound Of
SCOT placed around it. covered with a
shoreHul Of earth, the object of the
latter application being to keep the
SCOT in its place. At the end Of some
days penetrating empyreumatic odor
becomes perceptible at a considerable
distance, the result of an extensive
impregnation Of the soil. Should it
rain, the water passing through the
SCOT carries various soluble portions to
the roots, where they exercise their
peculiar effects. The application is
very persistent, as after the lapse Of a
year the sooty smell will still be ap-
preciable. This persistence of the
action has an important bearing, since,
if one stage ofthe insect escape Injury,
its succeeding transformations will be
made to suffer in corresponding de-
gree. Apart from its action upon the
grape vine insect, the SCOT itself exer-
cises an excellent influence upon the
vegetation of the vine. in stimulating
its growth and imparting to it fresh
yigor.

Transportation of Trees and
Shrubs.

Vegetable life depends as much on
vital functions for its preservation as
animal life. But the way trees are
treated ordinarily, in their removal
from one location to another, indicates a
very limited knowledge Of physiologi-
cal laws.
Plants repose at night like the high
er organizations, waking in the sun
light Of morning, invigorated and re-
freshed. Through the long, tedious
months Of winter, they sleep profound
ly. While the leaves are green and
vigorously performing series of la
bors, preparations are made for COM
ing season of cold, ice, snow and other
influences which reduce the vital force
to the lowest point without destroying
it. That is the best time in the life
Of a tree for transplanting it. That
business is admirably managed in
France. They don't think of waiting
for mere stick to grow into broad,
spreading tree. No they select splen-
didly developed trees, with waving
branches, and place them where their
grandappearance will be admired.
In the squares Of New York, the
Park Commissioners are now pursuing
the proper and only promising plan Of
success by bringing in from the coun-
try we'll grown trees, dug up out of
the frozen ground with all the roots
covered with two or three feet Of the
earth in which they grew. Being set
out in their new positions, the cardi-
nal bearings being the same, in the
spring they will rouse up like refresh
ed laborers, and bud and blossom as
they did before. That is the true
system. 1t may be accomplished at
any period if the roots are never in
jured or exposed, but clothed, thickly
and securely, with their own attached
soil. Never cut off a limb or a tBig
till they have a secure footacld.
Leaves are the breathing organs of
trees: Most persons make fatal mis-
take in trimming trees when transplant
co. They die because they cannot
breathe, oxygen being thrown off and
carbon absorbed from the atmosphere.

SPREADING MANURE IN WINTER

SPREADING MANURE IN WINTER.
We are asked what advantage there
is in spreading manure on frozen
ground. It depends much upon the
condition Of the ground. If it is COW
cred with grass, either pasture or a
meadow, there is great advantage in
more than one respect. The surface
is protected from sudden changes du-
ring winter, and the first thaw carries
the manure to the roots, where it
causes vigorous growth early in the
spring. If the ground is plowed for
a spring crop, it is also benefited by
having the manure ready to be absorb
ed by the soil whenever the ground
thaws; the seed, as soon as it sprouts,
finds what it needs close at hand. On
sod ground to be plowed for corn in
the spring, the same advantages are
gained as in the case of grass lands,
and the manure is on the spot in time,
which in late season it might not be,
for want Of time or improper condition
of the ground. But after all. it is far
better to get the manure upon the
ground before it is frozen, if possible;
the earlier in the Fall, the better.
Winter t0p-dressing Of grain is only a
poor substitute at best for proper aad
timely preparation in the Fall, and
rarely pays for the trouble, unless it
may be in the advantage gained by
the spring-sown clover.
