at will be seen by the above that the
liquid weddings are much stronger in two
of the indispensable elements of plant food
than are the solid excrements. Any neglect,
then, to save these liquids, results in a loss of
the very richest part of the stable manure
"To give a clearer idea of the magnitude
of this loss to the farmer, we have only to
consider the amount of liquid voided by
single animal. Boussingaule estimates that
COW voids thirteen thousand pounds of
urine in year. Other authorities place the
amount still higher. My own opinion,
based on careful observation, is that the
amount will reach twenty thousand pounds.
Taking, however, the first named figures as
basis for reckoning, and estimating the
solid dung at twenty thousand pounds an.
ammonia and potash-say at twenty-five
cents for the former and eight cents for the
latter-we have as the total value of these
two elements alone, from a single COW in
single year, the sum of fifty-three dollars
and forty cents This estimate am con-
fdent, is below rather than above actual re-
suits Then whatever of this is allowed to
go to waste must be supplied by purchase,
in the form of commercial fertilizers, at the
above rate"
One of the editors of the Scientific Far
mer estimates that the waste of liquid ma
nures in all forms at the hands of an ordi-
nary farmer, is three-fourths of the total
amount of liquid; and this would amount
to loss of one-half of the total amount of
manure made at the barns. The loss from
a single COW in ammonia and potash alone
would be twenty-six dollars and seventy
cents. With herd of twenty COWS, or
their equivalent in other stock, the loss
would aggregate the very respectable sum
of five hundred and thirty-four dollars. This
is lost to the farm, or must be supplied from
the market at these figures
The question very properly presents itself
here whether the expense of saving this ma
terial from waste will be greater or less than
its cost in the market, II is conceded

drafts from the soil by the crops taken off

Why They Often Fail.

Young men often fail to get on in this
world because they neglect small opportuni-
ties. Not being faithful in small things
they are not promoted to the charge of
greater things. A young man who gets a
subordinate position sometimes thinks it is
not necessary for him to give it much atten-
ton. He will wait till he gets place of
responsibility, and then he will show people
what he can do. This is very great mis-
take. Whatever his situation may be, he
should master it in all its details, and per-
form all its duties faithfully, The habit of
doing his work thoroughly and conscien-
tiously is what is most likely to enable a
young man to make his way. With this
habit a person of only ordinary abilities
would outstrip one of greater talents who is
in the habit of sighting subordinate mat
tiers. But, after all, the mere adoption by
a young man of this great essential rule OF
success shows him to be possessed of supe-
rior abilities.-Seiected.

Gods Creatures.

One day boy was tormenting kitten.
His little sister, with her eyes full of tears,
said to him 40, Philip don't do that it
is Gods kitten" That word of the little
girl was not lost. 1t was set ON wheels
Philip left off tormenting the kitten, but he
could not help thinking about what his sis.
ter had said. Goods kitten, Gods crea-
ture-for he made it," he said to himself ;
81 never thought of that before" The next
day, on his way to school, he met one of his
companions beating numerically poor,
hall-staryed looking dog, Philip ran up 10
him, and before he knew it, was using his
sisters words, saying, Don't, don't do that
Ned; it's Gods creature. Selected
