came here from New York, is ineligible
enough now. He came as an agent of the
judiciary department., ostensibly On New

ness was TO make District Attorney Dyer's
Office working point in Babcock's inter

from Bingham certain letters which he
gave to the defense, aud which the defense

Sherman is a Babcock spy. and as he came

Barn-Yard Manure-Its Real Value.

The Scientific Farmer" in an arti-
Gle on this subject, says the compost
ton of animal excrements depends upon
the food consumed, the age and condi-
ton Of the animal and the work it does,
whether used upon the road or kept for
the production of beef, milk, wool, &c;
and that the ultimate composition of
the manure pile depends, besides, upon
the time the animals are in the stables,
and upon the care exercised in saving
the liquid and solid excrements. Ami
NAL excrement is the food the animal
eats, less the amount taken to form the
flesh, bones, &c. The manure pile is
the excrements of animals while in the
stable, mixed with litter, soil, &c, and
less the amount wasted in the loss of
liquid manure. The actual amount of
plant food in stable manure is a very
uncertain quality, varying in each case
Taking the whole farm into the cal
culation, if no crops were sold off, and
there was no waste of manure, or if
sufficient stock food was purchased to
make good the outgo in connection with
proper system of rotation, blowing in
of green crops, etc, although stable
manure is very incomplete fertilizer
for a particular crop, yet the store of
plant food in the entire soil of the farm
would be kept intact, and the farm con-
stantly increase in fertility. But on
comparatively few farms does this state
of things exist. AS it is, in all ordinary
cases, taking into account the usual
wastes, and selling off of crops, the
total amount of manure is insufficient
to supply half the plant food for the
crops we expect to equal in amount
those Of the previous year. The plant
food in the soil made available from the
rocks and air by natural agencies, con-
stantly growing less each year, and we
permitting the wastes, and selling crops
without equivalent returns, our farms
rspidly run from under our feet, and we
sit down to decry farming, decry science,
and aver-with truth in this case-that
farming don't pay nothing" Where
the first set of conditions exist we have
usually high farming, and remunerative
farming; likewise, if, instead of buying
cattle food, we buy commercial fertili-
zers judiciously,
Bulk in any manure is no criterion of
value.
What barn-yard manure is worth per
ton, in cash, depends upon the plant
food it contains, and this, as said be-
fore, depends upon the food consumed !;
richer the food, richer the manure.
To round off with we will add that
we consider barn-yard manure, so far as
it goes, and is produced on the farm,
the cheapest and best manure How
far it will go, depends upon the manage
ment in making, saving and application.
There are very few cases in which out
side aid is not needed to keep the farm
fertile.

FRENCH RoLLs.-Two quarts of sift-
ed -four, lump of lard about the size
of an egg--one little larger of butter ;
stir into the flour, the same as in max
ing pastry. When we'll stirred add
blood-warm water, or, preferably, milk
and water to mix; add little salt, half
ateacupful of homemade yeast or three
tablespoonful of bakers yeast. Mix
in the evening, as for bread, and let
rise. In the morning shape them with
the hand and board, and let them rise
ten or fifteen minutes after putting them
in the pans; then bake; fifteen minutes
will suffice if the oven is sufficiently
heated. Good bread may be made in
the same way with proportionately
smaller quantity Of lard and butter.

f| Gen. Buffers Office was lately

~ Gen. Buffers Office was lately
invaded, says the Boston Herald, "by
a gaily-dressed young man, between
whom and the General the following
conversation ensued: "Well, Mr. b.,
what would be the first thing for me to
do in order to learn the profession ?"
Uncle Benjamin fixed his weather eye
upon the nobby-dressed young man, and
surveyed him from his fashy neck tie
to his highly polished boots, and ex-
claimed: 1.-The first thing you had
better do would be to go and roll in
barn-yard." An answer came as quick
as the suggestion in the following terse
language: off | should come and
study two years in your Office, wouldn't
it do just as we'll ?"
