LrcE.-Cleanliness aud vigilance will u.s.
ually prevent annoyance from parasites; but
should the roOstiDg house, nests or fowls, be-
come infested, a vigorous warfare should be
waged against the vermin until all are exter-
minated. Carbolate of lime should be used
freely. Sprinkle hne.cut tobacco, or strong
snuff in the nests, and about the roosts.
Whitewash perches and all other places where
they may get lodgment. Scatter lime freely
all over the floor aud about the runs. Give
the fowls both setting and laying, plenty of
lime or ash baths to wallow in.-Poultry

SEED GRAIN.-Tt will pay to SOW the very
best seed Of all kinds, as know from trial
clean it thoroughly through the tanning
mill, to get all the weed seed and small aud
light grain from the heavy, aud have side
spout for the mill, so l can take out the
heavy, plump grain and SOW the very best
and keep it free from weed seed. There
will always be enough volunteer weeds with
out sowing them, and if farmers generally
would be more particular about seed grain,
they would get well paid for it. The grain
will grow taller, the heads longer and yield
more. 1t is just as necessary to take the
best grain for seed as it is to take the choice
corn or potatoes, or to select the best cattle,
horses and hogs to breed from. Now, in
the winter, when We probably will now and
then have leisure day, is a very good time
to prepare seed grain and not wait until we
are crowded with spring work. live wait
until we want to SOW it, the chances are that
it will not be cleaned so WELL aud perhaps
not at all. Don't put it of. ff.-Country Gen

TIE NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW for
March it is now bi-monthly--is Mt hand,
and we wish the publishers would not mark
the covers "March-April, 1877; leave of the
April, it is n blotch and don't signify any
thing. 1t opens with n paper on the Electoral
Commission, written with some haste, of
necessity, as the commissi on was hardly
dead ere the biography appeared. Emerson
contributes one on Demonology, and Mr..
Oliphant writes Of Christian Policy in Tur-
key; an apprecintive paper on William II.
Seward by that literary critic, Richard Grant
White; one on Arctic Exploration, with n
map; one on Verse Making, and the Cen
tennary of Spinoza, and the striking ono by
Sheppard Homans entitled Insurance Crisis.
If any one is capable of writing on such q
topic next to Eliezer Wright it is Mr.. Ho-
mans, so long connected with the Mutual
Life of New York. We find freshness in the
good old North American which is very graf
flying. 1t treats ably such living topics rs
the Eastern question, life insurance, and con-
temporary American politics, and with its
price reduced to five dollars it ought to find
its list of subscribers constantly lengthen-
ing The North American in its present
style and purpose is potent agency for po-
litical and social culture, and we wish to SEQ
it in the hands of more professional men,
especially lawyers and ministers, who can do
so much Tor the future of the people.

Commercial Fertilizers.

At recent farmers institute in Elmlra,
N. Y, as represented in the Husbandman,
Prof l. 2. Roberts had a paper read giving
the results Of his experience with commercial
manures on the farm of the Cornell university
which shows the following results
The field in which the tests were made was
a clover and timothy sod plowed in the fall.
It was well plowed and narrowed and in the
spring plowed again about four inches deep.
The soil is a sandy loan, and is considered
very suitable for corn although lacking in
fertility. 1t slopes to the south. One test
was made with single rows of twenty hills to
row and four stocks to hill, and the yield
per acre is given:

MANURE IN THE OPEN YARD.

Some farmers seem to act on the principle
Of seeing how much manure they can lose or
throw away in season, as if it were nui-
sauce Some of these men select side hills
for their baru- yards; and if there is a run
ming stream near by they are delighted, and
forthwith dig passage from their barn-yard
down to the stream, $50 as to have a good
dry yard TO milk in" Others are contented
with letting the liquids of their manure run
off into some adjoining field where it is most
ly wasted within few yards of the barn
Now, large barn-yard made concave, say
two or three feet deeper in the centre than
at the sides, is not bad place at all to save
manure. Its virtues will not soak away
and be lost, if the bottom OF the yard be
clayey, or if a coat of clay be spread upon
it. The whole art Of keeping manures in such
yards, is to keep them well Uttered so that
nono of the manure shall be exposed to the
air

now To SAVE MANURE.

III farmer were to have the best faeilI-
ties for saving his manure, with the least
possible loss Of ammonia, / would say, let
him have a manure cellar under his cattle
stalls, into which their dung is daily thrown
and the floor Of the stall so constructed as TO
allow all the urine Of the stock to run down
aud be mixed with it. This cellar would
have to be under barn built on side hill,
so as to admit of backing in wagon to car
ry the contents to the fields. A pump would
be necessary near by, with hose to saturate
the manure occasionally to hasten decompo.
sition. Horse manure, especially, would be
liable to serious injury if not kept wet.
The next best plan to keep manure is un-
der shed, piled up compactly with the top
Of the heap little concave, so as to hold
water, aud allow it to run down and dampcn
the whole heap. Water is highly necessary
in the decomposition of manure heaps. An
excavation in the middle of the barn.yard,
six or eight feet square, and of the same
depth, in which pump is placed, to carry
through hose or troughs the liquid manure Of
the yard to the heap under the shed, would
be good thing A platform could be made
over the well-hole, to consist of stats two
inches wide, and just far enough apart to al
low the liquids Of the yard to run through
it; or the shed manure may be wet once in
two weeks from pump not far away; or
the water from the roof Of the barn and shed
may be so conducted upon the manure as to
require no other wetting but the conduct
ors should be made to be removed when the
heap is wet enough.

The Manure Heap.

1t has been we'll said that the manure heap
is the farmers bank, on which be can draw
his checks with certainty Of always having
them honored in his growing crops. The
live stock on a farm produce in their ma
nure every ingredient which is necessary to
grow crops in the greatest possible perfection
aud II we could obtain enough animal manure
to keep our farms in a fertile condition, we
would have no need of commercial fertilizers
in tho least
But to come to the more practical part of
this subject, the question is, How shall we
increase our manure heap to the greatest
extent, and render the manure of the great
est value to crops2 This is a subject that
cannot receive justice in few remarks, con-
densed as is what shall say on it. The first
point which | shall discuss is:
