C.ARING FOR THE MANURE
HEAP

There are few subjects more urg-
emily requiring the earnest attention
Of farmers, than that Of making and
preserving his manure heap. 1t has
been demonstrated and we have
shown it time and again, that the ma
nure in the barn-ysrd properly pre-
served under cover, is worth twice as
much as that which is left exposed to
the elements, the richest of its con-
stituents being washed away before
its application to the crop. AS re-
marked by cotemporary, " The great
est mistake that a farmer can make
is to allow his manure to remain eX-
posed to the rain and water, under
the caves of his barn, instead of being
placed under cover and then kept
from the action of the weather. A
covering over manure heap is easy
to build, and any farmer can do it.
The amount of money to be paid out
for material will not amount to much,
and will be many times returned in
the increased worth of the manure.
Once more, brother farmers, if tempt
ed to leave things in the old way,
don't do it; spruce up, and don t
allow the sun, air, and water, to take
what the land ofyour farms so much
need to make them productive
Western farmers can afford to lose ma
nure but we cannot.

FED AND BEDROOMS.

Never use any thing but light
blankets as a covering for the sick.
The heavy impervious cotton coun,
tcrpane is bad, for the reason that il
keeps in the cXhalatiors from the sick
person, while the blanket allows them
to pass through. Weak persons are
invariably distressed by a great
weight Of bed clothes, which often
prevents their getting any sound
sleep whatever. 1t is better to sleep
in cool room, and dress in one that
is well warmed than the opposite.
If it is necessary to heat the bedroom
let it be by means Of an open fire
rather than by register or tlue,
In view of the fact that most per
sons pass one-third of the twentyfour
hours in bed, the Importance Of hay
ing only the best bedding needs no
argument. There is no wisdom,
therefore, in buying second-class ar
ticles for the bedroom, but prudence
directs to get the very best bedding
that Your means will command a
frst-class hair nattaess will outlast
two Of inferior quality. Two many
young housekeepers neglect to follow
this rule, and pursue a peany-wise
and pound foolish policy, vixen they
might just as well adopt the opposite

EARLY SWEET POTATOES.

A correspondent Of a Southen paper
gives the following mode of obtaining
early Sweet Potatoes, which he has
practiced without single failure for
20 years:
early in March I make hot bed,
by setting up edgewise four planks or
slabs, twelve inches wide, and driv-
ing down small stakes on the outside
TO keep them up. fill this box or
frame with horse manure that has
been kept dry, tranping it down un'
til it is eight inches deep in the frame.
then cover the manure with rich
earth two inches deep, upon which |
spread my vans or potatoes, thlckly,
but not on top Of each other, and COW
err with two inches of rich earth. |
then raise one side Of my frame six
inches and cover we'll with four feet
boards to keep off all rain until the
slips are up. almost invariably
lave them up in two weeks, when |
take off the cover and water freely
with soap suds or water 1nsyrt the
hand every few days into the manure
to see if it is more than agreeably
warm to the hand. If so, uncover
for few days, but do not let it rain
upon them until after they are up, as
they would get too Rot. Slips can be
obtained in this way SO early that
they will have to be protected from
the frost, and in larger quantities
from a peck than from y buahel by
the usual method. Ii well watered,
slips may be drawn every week from
the lst Of April until in July, set
them out when the ground is dry, and
pour half pint Of water around the
slip and cover with dry earth.

WATER DRINKINe.-Dr Hall is opposed
to the immoderate drinking of water. lie
says =" The longer one puts of drinking in
the morning, especially in the summer, the
less he will require during the day. If much
is drunk during the forenoon the thirst often
increases and a very unpleasant fulness is OBJ
served, in addition to metallic taste in the
mouth. The less a man drinks the better for
him, beyond moderate amount. The more
water man drinks the more strength he has
to expend in getting rid Of it, for all TIE fluid
taken into the system must be carried out,
and there is but little nourishment in water,
tea, coffee, beer, and the like moro strength
is expended in carrying them out OF the sys-
tenn than they impart to it. The more man
drinks the more he perspires, either by lungs
or through the skin the more he perspires
the more carbon is taken from the system !;
but this carbon is necessary for nutrition,
hence the less a mar is nourished the less
strength he has. Drinking water largely d.
minishes the strength in two ways, and yet
many are under the impression that the more
water swallowed the more thoroughly is the
system washed out" Thus the less we
drink at meals the better for us. If the
amount we're limited to single cup of hot
tea or hot milk and water at each meal, an
unreasonable good would result to all. Many
persons have fallen into the practice of drink
ing several glasses of cold water or several
cups of hot tea or coffee at meals, oft of mere
habit. All such win be greatly benefited by
breaking It up at once. 1t may be very well
to drink a little at each meal, and perhaps it
will be found that in all cases it is much bet
ter to take single cup Of hot tea at each
meal than a glass Of cold water, however
pure,
