GB- w. t. NJ. Westmoreland, Robert
sons Fork p. o., Giles county, Tenn, is
only ten years old, yet he subscribes for
and reads his county paper-an example
worthy of imitation by many grown
boys in Giles county. There is no way
in which little boys and girls just learn
ing to read wen, or their parents for
them, could invest their nickles and
dimes than by investing them in their
county paper. 1t always contains items
of interest to Juvenile readers, and there
is no way to encourage children to read
better than to furnish them with home
paper which talks about persons and
places and things with which they are
familiar. This little man commenced
with % cents which pays for a month
and half, or six numbers of the GrTI-
ZEN, which will contain at least a dol
lars worth of reading. Encourage
your children to read the county paper.
Nothing win improve them better.

Fall Manuring.

No matter how susceptible manure is
to fermentation, no matter whether it is
fresh. heated up strongly, well rotted, OF
an old compOSt-if it is spread out thinly
on the field, all fermentation is speedily
checked, Just as when a mass of lighted
coal Is scattered out over the ground, the
glow ceases, the combustion declines,
and even in the hottest summer day the
fire is soon eXtinguished. If this spread
ing is done in the cool of autumn, and a
gentle rain follows all the elements Of
manure that can suffer loss-the ammonia
potash, etc.,-dissolve and sink into the
soil. But they cannot 90 far down unless
we have manured gravel bed or q sand
pit. On land fit tor u farmer to handle,
whether natural loan or a sand or clay,
subdued to a proper texture. the descent of
iertllizing matter is arrested as already
mentioned, by the beautiful chemistry of
soil absorption, the slowly descending wa
ter is filtered by the soil OF nearly all it
took from the manure, the real feeding
qualities OF the top dressing are d.stribu-
ted uniformly throughout the surface soil
in Il way no tillage can begin to initiate.
Loss is reduced to its minimum, and the
application is as perfect III style as in cost
If, on the contrary, the manure is spread
out in hot weather and lies exposed some
days to dry winds. the ammonia it con-
tains in the form of carbonate, will be
carried off into the atmosphere; but this
loss is not so great as is often supposed.
The quantity of volatile ammonia that
can be got out of stable manure by this
exposure is certainly not greater than
exists in, and the analysis of Nnlcker,
Wolff and myself, show it amounts to but
two TO six parts in ten thousand of fresh
OF well rottcd manure

Curing Meat,

Almost every farmer has occasion to Law
| in more or less meat for the winter, though
it may be more of pork than of other
kinds. Formerly the practice was univer-
sal in the remote country towns OF New
England. where no butcher went on his
stated rounds to supply his customers.
OF late years farmers, in the more
thickly portions, have got in the way OF
relying a good deal upon the butcher.
Still many want to cure pork and tor
such we suggest the following, the method
adopted by the Germantown Telegraph:
10 one gallon OF water take and -
pounds OF salt, l. pound sugar, l-2 ounce
saltpetre, - ounce of potash.
Ia this ratio the pickle can be increased
to any quantity desired Let these be
boiled together until all the dirt from the
sugar rises to the top and is skinned off
Then throw it into a tub to cool, and
when cold, pour it over your beef on pork
The meat should be well covered with
pickle, and should not be put down tor at
least two days after killing, during which
time it should be slightly sprnkled with
powdered saltpetre, which removes all
the surtace-blood, etc. leaving the meat
fresh and clean. Some omit boiling the
pickle, and find it to answer well, though
the operation of boiling purities the pickle
by throwing off The dirt always to be
found in salt and sugar 1t this receipt is
strictly followed, it will require only Il
single trial to prove its superiority over
the common way or most ways of putting
down meat

pple Orchards Deteriora ting,

An interesting paperon this subject was
read before the Farmers Club of New
York, by DIR. J. Y g. Smith, which excited
much discussion among the members pres
ent The prevalent belief appeared to be-
however, that the conditions OF cultivating
apple orchards had greatly changed in the
past few years, OF rather within a genera
ton and that the greatest cause OF the
change was to be found in the thoughtless
and wasteiul destruction OF forest trees
which provided for orchards the necessary
climactic nourshment. The forests are
justly termed the conservative forces in
Nature, III consequence of their power to
harmonic extremes of temperature. They
not only serve for a shelter from the cold
winds, but they maintain the humidity of
the atmosphere. and equalize the temper
ature so as to suit the demands of yegeta-
ton. Cultiyators of all kinds of fruits, as
well as of vegetables will in due time con
slider the Importance of fact which has
so long been neglected at risk not now
to be estimated
