MANAGEMENT OF STABLE
MANURE.
IN. Y Rsrald)
IN. =. Hwo1d.)

Many farmers use no bedding for their
cattle the manure and urine are thrown
into the cellar, but ssthe fresh dung can
imbibe no more liquid, and, Of course,
the urine drains off or soaks into the
~ground-this is a serious loss. Other
farmers make use of muck, litter, or other
a~bsorbents, to take up the liquids. II
straw, refuse hay, or saw-dust is used,
there is great danger of too much heat
in the manure heap-thiS is attended with
great loss of ammonia and other valuable
gases. If the manure is frequently spread
about and 9 few hogs kept upon it, or
young cattle occasionally turned in, so as
to tramp 1t solid, decomposition will go
on slowly, with little escape OF gases.
But under this management the coarse
litter does not become sufficiently rotted
to allow Of its being evenly spread Hearted
on to the land 10 the spring. However,
this may be remedied by having all the
straw and other long litter used for bed
ding cut in a straw or Stakeholder. There
would be some labor in this ; bat we think
it would pay we'll. Partially dried fine
swamp muck makes a capital bedding for
cattle in the hot1l, as we'll as al absorbent
and a divisor Of the mortar-llke manures.
GOOD swamp muck may be probably used
with the winter made manure, at the rate OF
two or three of muck to one of(manure.
AT this rate there could be but little if any
escape Of gases by overheatlng. Swamp
muck is continually recommended as an
absorbent, which it is. But it possesses
this power because Of, and in proportion
to. its vegetable matter. Fresh muck will
d~isinfect a manure heap of escaping am
moniul or heterogeneous compounds, and it
will disinfect the proximate air of similar
substances-thus purifying he atmosphere
Fresh vegetable mould, mostly vegetable
substance, has been used from time i'm
memorial as q disinfectant of privles, de-
caving animal bodies, manure heaps and
other putrescent substances, and is well
known tn be effective, for such purposes.
Now there is no reason why vegetable
mould that has been lying at the depth of
eight or ten inches is not, in the proper
ton that is vegetable, as good as swamp
muck itself. The latter cannot attract by
affinity till its water has escaped by evapo-
ration. Fresh mould, being comparative
ly drier, is in a state to attract and COM
bine the atmospheric gases as soon as
ploughed'up fresh. After a time, as every
body who successfully raises corn knows,
fresh mould ceases to absorb or give OFT,
Being Saturated with some and exhausted
or drained of other substances.

LOUISIANA.

New Orleans, Feb. 1.-THE follow
ing is the Conservative proposition for
adjustment submitted to the Congress
sional committee: First, the election
of 1872, now before Congress, not to
be included in the adjustment. Second,
the election of treasurer and members
of the General Assembly of 1874 to be
submitted to Hoar, Wheeler, FRYE and
Marshall, it being distinctly under
stood that those returned both bv the
returning board and the Conservative
committee TO be at Ccepted as elected.
Third, the House of Representatives
to be organized de nOvo on the basis Of
the Commissioners award. Fourth,
the House of Representatives, when
organized, to send to Kellogg, the
acting Governor, and 10 the Senate as
constituted by the award of the COM
missiOners, a message informing
them that the House is organized and
ready to proceed to business. Fifth,
the Conservative members to sign
an agreement that, while not apDruv-
ing or recognizing the legality of tho
government known as the Kellogg
government, that they will not dis
turb the Executive because of his past
political acts, so long as he is sustained
by the President. Sixth, the members
of the House returned by the arbitra-
tors not to be changed except by
death, resignation or expulsion for
i,,c
returned by arbitration to be seated.
This proposition was adopted by vote
of fifty-nine to eight, and the commit
tee appointed to hand it to Wheeler
left on the morning of the ninth for
Mobile with the propositions. The
same night the following reply was
received:
Mobile, Feb. 9.-To Hon. John

WASHINGTON.

Washington, Feb. 1l.-Dawes advo-
Gated the passage of the new tariff
bill and said, the sinking fund of the
government had been. impaired, and
the national faith had thereby been
impaired; had not Congress abolished
the tea and coffee tax, there would be
no necessity for this measure; how
ever, nothing would be gained by the
restoration of that tax, for since the
President, in his message, suggested
it, everybody began importing tea and
coffee, and the tax would only put
money in the importers pockets; he
estimated the increased revenue which
Congress would derive from the bill
as follows: whiskey, seventeen mil
lions; tobacco, four millions; sugar,
eight millions; manufactured goods,
ten millions, in all abOnt thirty-seven
and a half millions, less two and IA
half millions loss by the repeal of the
match tax. In conclusion. Dawes
said that Congress must now decide
what course to pursue, as the honor OF
the Government was Mt stake. The
committee will offer no objection If
the House decides to tax any other
articles.
Minister Washburne telegraphs to
the Herald from Paris, as follows: In
regard to the charge in the New York
Sun that I received SO, 900 for my
official influence in getting the Ere
mont bonds placed on the Paris
bourse, it is to the last degree false and
atrociOus. [ never received a dollar
and was never offered a dollar in my
life for my official influence in this or
any other matter. These bonds were
placed on the Paris boursc the month
before l arrived in France. In the
spring of 1869 I exposed their fraudu-
lent character, and advised the State
Department about them. My CORES
pondence was called for by Congress

Chicago, Feb. IA fire broke out
about midnight in the store of Cooper
& Graham, Keokuk, Iowa, destroying
the store with its contents. The ad-

and up to two O'Clock the fire was not
under control.
The Tribune's Washington special
says that the joint Republican caucus
committee has completed the political
bill which has been in course of prep
aration for some time. The points of
the bill, which will be submitted to
the Senate and House caucus respec-
lively, are as follows: First, the re-
enactment of the fourth section of the
Ku kluX act, which allowed the Pres
ident to suspend the writ of habeas
corpus in certain cases, and gives him
full power to use the army to suppress
disorder and maintain peace. Second,
the appointment of Deputy United
States Marshals and Supervisors OF
Elections, with full power to conduct
elctions, count ballots, supervise cleo
ton returns ana arrest persons VINO
attempt to intimidate voters or un-
lawfully interfere with conducting
elections. Fourth, to provide for a
full and fair registration of the legal
voters. and to make it unlawful for
any of the reconstructed States to i'm
pose an excessive poll tax, or to require
the payment of such tax as a qualifi-
tion for voting at any Congressional
election. Fifth. declaring the exhibi-
ton or use of deadly weapons on days
of election or registration for the pur-
pose of intimidation or violence a
criminal ofIense, punishable by fine OF
imprisonment at the discretion Of the
court The bill, it is said, received
the unanimous vote of the joint COM
mittee.

MINNESOTA.

st. Paul, Feb. 1l.-All the political
factions in the Legislature held eau
cuses to late hour last night without
any decisive conclusion. The Ram
sey men demanded of the Davis men
but failed to obtain it, categorical
answer to the proposition previously
submitted, to withdraw both Ramsey
and Davis, and all the Republicans
agree to go into caucus and nominate
some man on whom all can unite.
The Davis men are said to have sent
word to the Democrats that if a coali-
ton is to be effected it must be done at
once, as after to-day Davis would be
withdrawn. The Democrats responded
by proposing a strong Democratic plat
form based on the Democratic plat
forms of New York and Minnesota
last Autumn, and finally the platform
on which Cameron was elected in
Wisconsin. To this, no decisive an
swer was vouchsafed. The Democrats
will hold another caucus tonight at
which something may turn up. The
sixteenth joint ballot at noon to-day
was without significance 1t stood as
follows: Ramsey A, Lochren 4G, Da-
Wis 33, scattering about rs usual.
