THE LOSS OF MANURE.

Notwithstanding the universal outcry
among farmers in the older States about
the want of manure, yet how often is it
true that from one-half to three-fourths
of the value of animal excrements, solid
and liquid, are nearly SO. Take barn
without cellar, for example, where the
live stock are stabbed during the winter.
In such barns over New England-and
there are many, good barns cellars being,
doubtless, the exception-the liquid ex-
crements are lost, and the solid excre-
ments are usually thrown out of stable
windows and fall directly under the
droppings of the caves of the barn, thus
washing out, it is reasonable to suppose,
one-half of the soluble properties of the
remaining portion of the fertillzing ele-
ments of the manure heap, leaving only
one-fourth of the stable droppings to be
directly used in manuring the cultivat.
ed grounds of the farm. Experience
and observation have taught us this les
son. Having been accustomed to using
barns without cellars, we found, after
building barn with cellar, that the
value of the manure from the live stock
of the farm was increased more than
three-fold the first year after using it as
compared with the preceding year, with
the same number of cattle, horses and
hogs.
If farmers would heed these sugges.
tions and put them into practice, there
would be less complaint about the def
cheney of manure. By employing theil
stable manure as fresh as possible, they
would still further increase its value
and as the result, harvest much NOR,
bountiful crops of grass. cereals. tubers
roots and vegetables. This increase o
seventy-fve per cent. of dung might, o
itself, make the difference between farm
ing at profit or loss.
Will farmers take care and stop thi
waste of manure so common over Ney
England 1t would seem that no thrift
enterprising farmer would suffer los
to 60 on another year. Husband wei

KEEPING GOOD cows.

1t is surprising when we look around
the country to see the large number of
poor COWS that arc kept for years in the
diaries, and by men from whom better
things should be expected. 1t costs as
much, if not more, to keep a poor cow
than good one. In no other DEPART
ment of farm labor is 1t so essential to
have good material to work with, as in
the dairy. A little study of the char
acteristics of a good cow will generally
enable person to tell good COW when
he sees her. | have heard men say that
they bred cows to be the smallest eaters.
But this is a fallacy, as no one can ex-
pect something from nothing. The COW
(all the other essentials being right
that will assimilate the greatest amount
of food will usually prove the best COW
to keep. In the feeding of cows there
is great difference. A healthy cow will
consume many times her weight in food
every year. but how to find one who
will do so with the least weight will re-
pay the careful attention of those who
keep cows. If this point is not strictly
attended to it will make a wide differ
ence in the margin of profits. But it is
unfortunate to have poor cow, and the
shortest and best way to get rid of her
is to fit her for the butcher as quick as
possible, and fill her place with one
whose qualifications at the pail can be
| depended on.

CLOSE THE DRAM SHOPS.

When Boston was burning in 1872
when the great railroad strike was rag
ing in Chicago and st. Louis and other
cities, an order was promptly issued by
the authorities "ClOse every dram shop"
In this our hour of peril we have other
work for our police and soldiery than to
stand sentry over the thousands of drunk
ard factories of our cities that are con-
stantly turning out masses of frenzled
rum mad men to pillage and murder or
destroy. Let every man be sober to-day
in this our struggle for existence but
when the danger is over so that we can
again take care of your rum-crazed vic
tins, you shall be graciously allowed to
90 on and deal out without stint this po-
tential cause of rebellion, of riot, crime
and death.
Query-Was the dram shop. the sa-
loon, the traffic itself, regarded by
those cities on that day of their ex-
tremity blessing or a curse, friend
or an enemy?
The Central Advocate of st. Louis
"The temperance men have the right tt
make good use of the fact that every
where during the riot the dram-shoE
was looked upon as a public enemy
Had liquor been furnished freely to tn,
mob, the ruin would have been universal
Does any one believe that such mine
charged with elements of destruction
should be tolerated ? If the crime anC
violence that may be honestly charges
to hquor-selling during year or si
months were concentrated in a day, W
should see the exact result that wa
sought to be avoided by closing th
dram-shop while the mob law prevailed
1t would be nearly impossible to pre-
duce mob where total abstinence wa
the rule. The dram-shop is the fountai
of crime and disorder. There is not a
honest mayor policeman that will nj
affirm there would be little or no nee
for their services if all the dram-shol
permanently closed. Even the whiske,
sellers acknowledged the propriety
the damaging sentence put upon the
business by the order to close up all IL
dram-shops."

CHEEsE.-The following account ex-
plains fully enough what is the matter
with cheese: "For some time patent
cheese has been finding its way into our
markets. This fact is generally un-
known to consumers. who have seme-
times commended this cheese under the
impression that it was the old-fashioned
product of the cheese press. Both pa
tent butter and patent cheese have been
made and sold in vast quantities in En-
gland, Holland, France and Germany
for many years. and large quantities Of
both are now made here aud sent abroad.
The portions of the fat of the animal
from which the globules are extracted
are the caul, the kidney fat, and other
softer portions of the fatty matter.
These softer pieces of fat are obtained
from the slaughter houses Immediately af-
ter the killing of the animals. AS soon
as received, they are washed and put
into close, warmed cans. Then they
are taken to tho mandatory and placed
in watts warmed by tepid water. Next
they are put into cutter and minced
until the mass assumes the appearance
of fine paste. Kept nearly up to the
animal heat, and then lain on clear
white cloths and placed on press. Ii
this process the water and softer parti
cles flow first into a receiver; then fol
low the yellow globules, which rise Il
the surface and are skinned off. TX
this, skinned milk is added, and VI
have patent cheese Good, isn't it

THE SIN OF DRUNKENNERs.-Whe
we acknowledge that drunkenness is a
disease, let US not forget that it is also
sin. No man is forced to become
drunkard; he drinks to excess with his
eyes open, with his hands free, with his
conscience upbraiding him, until he
browns it in the bowl.-He voluntarily
surrenders his reason his taste, his judy
ment, his health, his character and his
conscience on the altar of appetite and
is not that sin? He knows that his
habits of Indulgence will disqualify him
for the performance of the duties Of
child, husband. parent and citizen, and
while they deaden the faculties which
should elevate him above the dumb
beast, they intensity and quicken all
4! the animal and brutal instincts of de-
graded humanity; aud is not that q
sin?

n amandmcnt nf tho VIRGINIA ro,

An amendment of the Virginia con
stitution, lately adopted, requires pre-
payment of a capital tax to be proved
as a condition of the exercise of the
right of suffrage. The first election un-
der this rule has just been held, with
somewhat remarkable results. In the
cities, the ward-caucus hummer sud-
denly disappeared from the field or po-
litical activity. Having no money
wherewith to pay the tax, he had no
vote, Of course, and having no vote, the
candidates had no use for him. The
property-owuing people took the cleo
ton business into their own hands, Sc
lccted responsible persons of their own
class for the Offices, and left the poor
devils who had been in the habit of
looking forward to election.day as a
sort of improved Fourth of-July, with
unlimited free whisky thrown 10, to
suffer uumitigated drouth while mourn
ing for the "go,d old times" that have
so suddenly and entirely passed away.
As might be naturally supposed, the
tax-paylng people rejoice at their rid
dance OF hummer sovereignty aud per-
suadc themselves perhaps too confident
ly that that most undesirable system
will never be re enthroned. There is
this disadvantage about the new system
and all interested will quickly lind it
out-that whenever offices are at stake
of sufficient Importance to justify con-
siderable outlay of money, it will be
pussible for candidates to pay taxes for
the bummers in order to secure their
votes, and in such cases success will be
apt to depend chiefly if not entirely up
ON the length Of the purses opposing as
pirants may have available for this spe-
cies Of corruption. The elimination of
non-taxpayers from the voting class is
IN excellent thing, but if the Improve
ment is to be permanent, it will have to
be put beyond the reach Of so cheap
device as The manufacture of voters at a
dollar or two per capita.
