Muck CoMPosT.-Every favorable oppor.
tunity during the winter should be improved In
getting out large supply of marsh or swan
muck for manure. The summer it is tfne, Is
the most suitable for this work as far as weather
Is concerned hut that season brings so many
urgent duties 10 the farmer, that Ii is difficult
to find the time for this work. In the winter
there IL more leisure, and in this climate the
energetic and ambitious farmer will often end
the weather favorable enough to attend to this
very important work. Mack raised now, after
allowing sufficient time for the water to drain
from it, and covered or mixed with lime, will
become good fertilizer by spring. The action
of the frost will cause 1t to become friable, and
the lime will combine with, and neutralize any
acids that il may contain.
There are hundreds Of farmers that with the
proper industry, can thus prepare Thousand
loads Of excellent material upon which to feed
their crops during the next year. -Penins,tar

There's thousand things you can do

And the little ones fond of you,
You can kindly amuse the baby,
Give grandma the rocking chair,

And comb little MARY's hair.

WooD AsHEs.-Of all the agents that can be
employed for decomposiDg and dissolving bones
the best and most practicable are wood ashes.
They are generally plentiful in country places !;
they present any unpleasant odOr from being
given of, and, above all, cause rapid and
complete decomposition. The bones are con-
verted into fine powder, which mixed with the
ashes, furnishes All excellent fertilizer, very
| rich in potash aud phosphorlc acd. The meth
od of using them is rs follows: A trench three
/ or four feet deep and of any desired length, is
i dug in the earth aud filled with alternate LAYER
| OF ashes and whole bones, each laye: about six
| inches thick. The lowest as well as the top
layer OF ashes thoroughly saturated with wa
/ ter. AT distances of three feet, poles are ram

often as necessary. In about three months af
ter, the heap being worked over twice or three
times more, the decomposition OF the bones
will be so complete that only a few OF the
largest remain, and these are taken out and mi
into another heap. Where wood-ashe are
scarce, recourse must he had to horse manure
The bones are soaked few DAYS in water and
then placed in rectangular pits with alternate

pit is covered with earth. so as to be tightly
