Composing lEanures.

Great attention to this matter of com
posting should be given. Our farmers
have not sufficiently appreciated its i'm
portance, nor given sufficient labor to the
suitable preparation of farm manures 10
become fitted to yield up their plant foo d
readily to the crops to which they have
been applied. Upon this subject we find
a most valuable settlement in the recently
published transactions of the Essex coun-
ty (Mass.) Society for 1875, ffom the
pen Of Mr.. j. j. III. Gregory, the cele-
brated seed-grower of Marblehead:
"For more than twenty years the far
mers of this town have been market gar
deners and while the average quantity
of manure used by them in their garden
ing operations is from eight to ten cord
per acre. the average quantity of barn
yard manure is not above two cords per
acre. The great dependence is upon
compassion which they have kept up
the fertility of their land, and, in fact,
increased their crops"
In the course of his report Mr.. Gregory
tells how he made compost for three
acre field, containing twenty five barrels
of hen manure, twelve barrels Of crushed
bone, and three barrels of kayni lpotasl
salts.) These three articles make up
about all that vegetation needs, viz nj

Women the Grange

Mrs. Callahan, of Des Moines, Iowa,
who was incorrectly reported by some of
the Women's Congress as saying that
there were a thousand women member
Of the Iowa grange, writes that there are
twenty-five TO thirty thousand women III
the eighteen hundred and eighteen
oranges Of Iowa, each woman having her
vote To man i'll the managerial transac-
tons Of The order, and that Iowa men are
thus learning the ballot force there Is IN
women, while the women are becoming
educated in parliamentary practice and
in business generally. The Iowa wo-
men are about one-third of the whole
number Of women in all the oranges OF
the United States, there being seven
thousand oranges, in which are seventy
five to one hundred thousand women
members.
There seems to be no reason why wo-
men should not do business, rs an indi-
vidual right, whenever and however
they may think proper. Many have
proved excellent farmers, mowers, nay
makers. And if they desire to pillow or
drive hay loads to market-to buy and
sell horseGesh, even to killing their own
sheep aud lambs, and hawking about
the same, there can be no reason, so far
as individual right is concerned, why
they should not do so. But the rights Of
individuals give way when we come to
the organization Of society. The neces-
Rity which makes one work for living,
or the affections which exists between
male and female, and which i'll both
cases influence conduct one towards an
other, seems Il dangerous element TO IN
troduce into the government OF a society.
Here we do not want sexual affection, or
mere individual bread and butter, to
make the laws which are to govern a
whole people How such principle
would work is well illustrated by re
cent election in Iowa where lady was

which both men and women voted.
There was no question about the Lady 5
fitness for the position, but she vas
Young and beautiful as we'll All the
ladies voted for her male opponent, and
she was elected TO office only by the male
vote, which was the heaviest Of the tWos
All this ought not to be, but it is the
way it does 20, and how is it to be
avoided?
It aeems to rs entirely out of place to
discuss these things in an agricultural de
partment Of q newspaper; but they are
being continually dragged in by our az
Ticultural contemporaries in some form
or another, and in spite Of all we have
TO run over them sometimes.

Bringing up "a Worn Farm.

Prof. Kedzie of the Michigan Agri-
cultural College, in an able address de
Iivered before the Michigan Farmers
Institute, lately held, concludes as fol
lows;
/ believe the easiest and cheapest way
to bring up worn down farm IS by
green manuring. Suppose your farm IS
too poor for clover, and grass makes only
Il feeble growth put on it a manurial
crop that will grow, such as rye. Turn
this under with your pillow, and you can
raise something better Keep feeding
your soil with everything your shovel
and your team can command-ashes-
leached ashes, if you can get them by
drawing them within five miles, muck,
mari. anything that will bring green
mantle over your fields. Soon you can
set the clover-pumps at work, pumping
up to the surface the ineXhaustibIe re-
sources of your subsoil.
il any animal dies, don't stop to be-
wall yoQr luck and eXclaim, Everything
goes to the dogs on my farm" Don't
send it TO the dogs at all, but compost it
with muck, or even soil, and thus secure
n most valuable manure. Sampson per
formed wonder by taking honey from
the dead carcass of lion. You can
Guido that wonder by extracting wheat
from the carcass of yoGF dead COW. Pick
up all the bones you can find. put them
under cover, and mix with them two or
three times their bulk of ashes from your
kitchen, moisten Them with enough water
so that the potash may act OH the gela-
tine OF the bones: stir them over once Il
week. and in 4 month or two you will ind
the bones 50 tender that YOU can cut and
crush them with blow from your shovel
Beat the whole into a powdery mass, and
YOU will have manure better than the
superphosphates which you feel too poor
10 buy. Give handful of this to each
hill Of corn. and see how it will wave It's
banner of green. and pour into your
basket the golden ears.
But in bringing your soil into good
condition, do not neglect green manur-
ing. Lee every wind that blows over
your fields bring them a blessing in the
shape Of atmospheric plant-food. DO
all these things patiently and hopefully,
without urging your soil beyond what it
can do, aud you will yet, out of the full
ness Of a grateful heart, exelajm, Bless
God for the farm"

DairyinE ia Mixed Farming.

1t is beginning to be understood that
the dairy Reed not be confined to special
districts, but that i can be made useful
auxiliary on land devoted to grain, real
izing profits, in proportion to its utIay,
surprising those OF grain culture. Best
of all, the two harmonic together. The
cloyers, the grasses, corn, and the grains,
as forage supplies, can be grown in large
and profitable yielding, the sod supply
ing fertility, and great quantities of ma
nure in addition be realized, making the
land not only self-sustaining, but improv-
ing it and bring it to a high degree of
fertility. Not only is the DAIRY made a
success, as connected With gain growing,
but it aids this branch of husbandry. IS
cheap and general fertilizer there is
nothing 10 sod, growing first the forage
crops, ia themselves remunerating, and
then atiording an amount Of manure that
may be estimated at 30 to 10 tons or
more per acre on well cultivated land,
having all the plant elements necessary
for a general farm growth. And this
manure needs no handling, is well dis
tributed through tie soil. Save all the
manure we can, but let the principal re-
lance be good. We see the effect Of this
forcibly in this sootiQn--the south side Of
the Mohawk-where the dairy forms a
leading part in the improvement of the
farmers interests, and more than any
general system can be, so that the corn,
the grain, the hops, and other crops that
are grown are more abundant in their
yield than ever before, even when the
country was new. No such corn ctoBs
we're eyer raised before, afIording large
nutritious quantities Of coarse fodder,
sometimes almost sustaining the entite
stock during the winter

benefit Of my experience, and what L
know of the chufa. It is not the nut
grass. though it May be anut, and very
valuable one too. There is no trouble to
get rid of it-being easily killed, and
pigs will root out every vestIge OF 1t IN
short while when they have access to
the patch. 1t is 4 most wonderful pro
dgceF, and makes more on poor land than
anything else you can plant. 1t Will
make when peas viii fail to make. On
good land the chufa will yield correspond
ingly more abundant crop than any
thing else you can plant. Ground-peas
are a great exhauster Of land chufas
are not, and will make with less work
than anything you plant They will
make very lair crop planted between
bills Of corn, without work, save the last
blowing Of corn. As food for hogs they
tar excel the ground pea, and make ten
times rs much, the hog preierring them
to the goober or ground pea | think
they fatten faster and make harder flesh
and lard than the ground pea-almost
equal to corn in their fattening and solid
qualities They possess, too, this advdn-
tage they aige 4 most excellent fla
vor to the flesh Of hogs f2ttened on
them, such as neither the ground pea
no. corn give. Crows DO not intest
the chufa patch, as they do the ground
pea. Chickens, TURKEYS and pigs, as
we'll as the human family, are
very fond of them. They are more
tedious to gather. hut you need not
gather more than you wish to plant, and
the rest will be gathered by your hogs
and chickens, which will get fat on them,
saving all trouble. They impart to the
fesh Of poultry their peculiar flavor
like celery-a aavor which every one who
eats chickens likes. The tops are eaten
by mules or cows with apparant relish.
