HEAVY MANURING.

"A prominent English farmer writes:
It know a farmer with COO acres who
says that if he spends 81 1850 per acre
on arti6eialsmanures his farm pays, if
not 1t lbsts.ul knowof some who spend
double that'sum.s' have only placed
ten shiilings(s2.5o) per acre on artific-
ial manure, because | produce aueh
manure By feeding animals. which. If
there Is capitalists the cheapest way of
getting gs'utDe manure" The italics
are mine. md convey meaning which
should b. indelibly impressed upon the
minds Of all who are endeavoriug to i'm
prove the quality Of their land Bone
dust and other good artificial manures
are all right to increase the crops, but
if this increase is not fed on the farm.
the outgoing stream Is still continuous
one, though larger. Nor is the phrase
IF there is capital" an unimportant one.
To enrich farm in this way requires
capital. for the effect is not felt at once,
but only after several years. The effect
Of bone dust may be visible in the next
crop, bnt grain bought aud fed to stock
must 20 to the field and return to the
ward before Its influence is felt: the In
terest is not Cat first paid annually.
but is compounded for a term Of years. "
Then again, in the manner Of feeding Of
purchased material. English farmers
beat US largely. The same farmer quo
ted above further writes I'VE have
fourteen Galloway Scots. averaging each
lilo stone Of eight pounds butchers or
net dead weight, and they are putting
on fat rapidly. They consume daily for
each bullock four bushels Of swedes,
three oil cakes jof seven pounds three
pounds boiled linseed; the quantity they
consume daily is from 246 to ESQ pounds.
This astonishes some folks, but the al
most daily progress Of the animals proves
it is we'll employed. The stems Of feed
above given are Of course in addition to
twelve pounds of wheat straw ehaff cut
one-eighth Of an inch.
Your readers can readily contrast this
with the manner Of feeding as practiced
by many Of us. But how about the an
nual application ofS5OO worth of arti6c-
isl manure to a one huudred-acre farm

SOME OLD DUrcH PROvERBs.-We
must row with the oars We. have, and as
we cannot order the wind, We are oblig-
ed to sail with the wind that gives.
Patience and attention will bring US
far. If cat watches long enough at
the mouse's rest, the mouse will not
escape.
The plOughman must 90 up and down,
and whatever else play be done, there is
no other but the long way to do the
work well.
Learn to sleep with one eye open.
As soon as the chicken goes to rOost it
is good time for the fox.
Fools always ask what time it is, but
the wise know their time.
Grind while the wind is fair, and if
you neglect. do not complain of Gods
providence.
God gives food to every bird, but be
does not bring it to the nest; in like
manner be gives US our daily bread, but
by means Of our daily work.
The dawn Of day has got gold in its
mouth.
He that lags behind in a road where
many are driving always will be in a
cloud of dust.
Never set your feet in a dirty and
crooked path for love Of money. 1t is a
work that will bring bad interest if you
wish to suck honey of thistles.
You will need long spoon if you
wish to eat with the devil out the same
dish.

KEEPING THE TONGUE.

Keep Il from triroiity. There is SO
much call for the wise use of GOd-given
speech that it is great pity and great
evil when its high powers are made
empty and vain. Frivolous speech will
react on character. 0ne who habitually
uses lightness in conversation will tend
to become empty in character, incapable
Of those deeper motives and holier aspi-
rations that mark the good man.
Keep IL from 1mkiRdHeSs. Words arc
sometimes wounds. Not very deep
wounds always, aud vet they irritate.
Speech is unkind sometimes when there
is no unkindness in the heart; so much
the worse that needless wounds are in
fieted so much the worse that unin-
tentioDally pain is caused. How many
heartaehes, how much bitterness. how
many arrangements. how much deep
and utter misery. has unkind speech
caused.
Keep II from, taLsehood. 1t is so easy
to give 1t false colOriug. or to make
statement that it may conveys meaning
different from the truth. while yet there
IS an appearance of truth. that we need
to be on our guard. Truth Is an essen
tial in the dealings of man with man.
Without it society goes DOM. There
are very many VINO would shrink from
telling lie. who yet suffer themselves
in such inaccurate or exaggerated or one
sided statements that they really come
under the condemnation of those whose
Lying lips are an abominatiou to the
Lord"
Keep IL from Islander. The good repu-
tation of others should be dear to us. 1t
is a cause of sorrow in the whole COM
munity when mans good name is as
persed. Sin should not be suffered to
90 unrebuked; but it should be in ae-
cordance with the Scripture method:
''Go and tell him his faults betwixt thee
and him alone" And it should be
borne in mind that what is too often
considered as merely harmless gossip
runs dangerously near, if it does not
pass. the con6ne of SANDER. A reputa-
ton is too sacred to be made 4 plaything
Of, even if the intent be not malicious.

MADE LAND.-Tbe reclamation Of
very valuable tract Of land upon one Of
the Scotch rivers. was made in a simple
manner quite recently. Stakes we're
driven into the mud at the waters edge
at regular distances parallel to the
course Of the river. Between these
stakes branches Of trees and brush we're
tbickly matted or interlaccd. This sim
pie contrivsnce resulted in the deposit
at every high water Of large quantities
Of silt and mud. until at last an en-
baokment was thrown up without any
further expense, sufficient to keep out
water except at high foods. The land
thus reclaimed was sown with grasses
and IS now used for grazing cattle, and
Is valued at $500 per acre for this pur-
pose alone. There are thousands Of
acres alongside Of our rivers, both upon
the coast and inland. which might be
reclaimed in this or similar WAYS at very
little expense. Asaprevvntive Of wash.
ing away o. banks, 1t might also be
made use Of in many cases.

A good way to feed eorn-stalks is to
cut them 6De and mix with finely cut
straw IN the proportion of two-thirds
stalks and one-third straw. A large
mass may be cut and stored without
danger Of heating. and the straw will
rather be improved BY it. The feed is
reiisbed by horses. cattle and sheep. and
II meal and bran is sprinkled on it

NISTEEISs Cows on MEAL ALONE
MIR. L. NJ. Miller. of stockton. n. Y.
last year tried the experiment of keep.
ing cows on meal alone. with no hay or
other fodder. For nine weeks he kept
bis cows. when dry, on three quarts Of
corn meal day, and then in spring
gave hvc quarts day to cows giving
milk. At this time the meal was wet
leading US to suppose that during the
hrst trial 1t was dry. He says that IN
der this treatment they did well. and al
though the flow Of milk was less than
when fed hay. the quality was excellent

THE JErT1ES.

MIR. q. w. Il. Dagley, resident cngi-
necr of the ietty works, at New Orleans,
publishes communication In the Times
of that city, In response to an editorial of
that paper, in which 1t was limited that
the jetty men. confident OF success, were
SLOWING up In the work, and attempt
Ing to bear the jetty stock by giving out
big stories OF great depths of water al

the jetty people do not claim and have
not claimed nor authorized any
one to state that there has
been or Is now twelve feet
Of water Oh the bar of the South
Passover the shoal ground of the bar.
and that they expressly disavow any
knowledge Of vessels drawing twelve feet
each crossing the bar. 'The water How
ing to sea across the bar" says MIR. Bag
ley, "is still difi'used over width gilmore
than three thousand feet, or the same as
1t was before we began our works. When
the water which now spreads over chan

Mr. Bagley then says, that opposite
the inner portion of the east jctty, where
the land oil the west side-which extends
about 1000 feet further Stewards than the
land on the east sidc-forms what il
equivalent to west jetty, and where the
flow of the water is thereby partially con.
centrated il the intervening channel, a
securing out of channel way has oc-
Cured, Enthusiastically, and TO Il consider

east, or the beginning Of the east jctty-
the land opposite being west jetty
there--thc channel has been deepened
and enlarged all the way across. In May
last the maximum depth there was 20
feet; on the 18th of August last 1t was
80 feet.
This Is very encouraging information,
and seems to furnish almost conclusive
evidence that the ictty plan of opening
the mouth OF the Mississippi will prove
successful. "No effort" says Mr.. Bag.
ley. Twill be spared to obtain u nayiga-
Bile depth OF twenty feet or more across
