The Construction of Household Cisterns
A Charleston, 5 c., correspondent of
the journal OF Chemistry acknowledges
the necessity of extreme care in keeping
impurities out of the cistern. He as
sumes that the cistern is completely GOV
cred, and that the oman hole for get
ting into it for cleaning or repairs is
kept carefully closed. He gives the fol-
lowing description of the manner in
which cisterns are built in Charleston,
and it is well worth printing for the ben
eft of our readers:
In Charleston we arc almost entirely
dependent upon our cisterns for drink
ing purposes, more than three-fourths of
the population being supplied with water
IN that way. Great care is therefore
taken in the construction of our reser-
voirs. They are built of brick laid in
cement (no lime), and plastered inside
and outside with the same Within
there is double partition, from floor to
ceiling, of brick laid in cement, and the
space within this double wall, say six
inches in width, is filled with fresh-water
gravel. This wall is built in one of the
corners of the cistern in a semicircle,
and the pipe for the pump inserted in
the inclosed space The water is filtered
through this wall, and is as pure as crys-
tai. A little charcoal is sometimes
thrown into the cistern. You will see
hat by allowing the roof and cutters to
be thoroughly washou by the rain before
letting water into the cistern, you get rid
of all Impurities; and if the cistern is
sufficiently large only the fall and winter
rains should be taken in. The impuri-
ties that float in the air during spring
and summer are thus prevented from
getting IN. This IS not always done,
although il is desirable.
4 few years since my house took fire.
and to save it my cistern was emptied.
| then had it carefully cleansed, but |
could not drink the water for three
months after. This has been so often
proved to be the case that you must par

spite of chemistry, although it is not nv

The Progressive Farmer.

The progressive farmer is he who looks
forward with pleasure to that which
planted now may in the future yield
him fit return for his trouble and toll !;
whose horizon is not bounded by the
planting and sowing of mere annual
crops. He breeds stock not only with a
view to the natural increase, but at the
same time with intelligent efforts to
make it better and better, year by year.
He builds sheds and barns for their COM
fort. These again he shelters with belts
and groves, if he already has them not.
He plants orchards and cares for them.
His gardens as well as his farm is
model of neatness. 1t is true he is not
found in the corner grocery, nor en-
ployed in mere gossip in the village
streets. He is generally found at home
when not away on Misunderstanding,
studying, seeking pleasure in thinking
how best he may introduce some added
convenience for the comfort Of his fami-
ly or the good of his stock. 1t is this
class of men who are gradually coming
to see the Importance of timber planting
as one of the means to the greatest sue
cess. These will yet come to know that
ten to fifteen per cent. of their farms
planted to belts, as a protection, will
add fully twenty-five per cent. to the
productive capacity of their farms.
Thus their growing timber, if of the
right varieties, while it is adding to the
productiveness of their fields, will be-
sides give an added value to their farms
at the end of ten years of fully twenty
five per cent. more. Meanwhile the
trimmings from the timber will fully
compensate for the labor expended in
the cultivation. Thus while they will
have left a most valuable legacy to their
heirs, they will have made themselves
and their families comfortable during
their lives.

WR. III. r. STEVENS:
In 1872 your VEGETINEs was recommended 70 me,

Muck.

De largely unprecedented H0We.
Muck.
When dry, muck makes an excellent
bedding both for cattle and pigs, as it
proves powerful absorbent of urine and
ammonia. The escape of ammonia
(the most volatile but the best part of
the manures about the homestead) is in
a great measure the cause of the strong
odor from stalls, barnyards, sinks and
privies. In the stable bedding of dry
muck of couple of inches, will arrest
and imprison the fugitive, while slight
covering of leaves and straw will keep the
animals unsoiled on lying down at
night. The foulest stable floor will lose
its pungent odor in few minutes if over
laid with fine muck or pulverized peat.
When dug in the summer and intended
for this purpose, the dryer portions
should be carried to the barnyard and
placed under shelter; and in piling it
up it would be we'll to mix it thoroughly
with a small quantity of lime, to prepare
it for quick decomposition.
Another advantage of such treatment
is that large quantity of it can after
ward be added to the manure in the COM
post heap. If then composted in pro-
portion of five loads of muck to one of
manure, the absorption of urine and the
retention of gases, together with the ele-
ments of the muck itself, Will render the
whole mass as good as an equal bulk of
uncomposted manure. The most expe-
ditious way to prepare muck for use is to
mix with it quantity of lime in the
proportion of from three to five bushels
of the latter to a cord of the former.
The lime to be used for this purpose
should always be fresh and Stacked; and
if it is thoroughly blended with the mass
its effect is invariably more powerful
and rapid than if spread in alternate
layers, as some advise Work the heap
over in about ten days and it will be
ready for application to the land in three
or four weeks; or it may be used as an
absorbent of animal manure after three
months for this interval at least should
always be allowed to itervene between
the application of lime to muck and the
use of the mixture in the stable. Muck
may be advantageously composted with
barnyard manure to any proportions,
from one load of each to FIVE of the
former with one of the latter; but the
nearer the compost approaches the equal
of both the more satisfactory
the results. The heap should be built
in alternate layers of from six to eight
inches, and care should be taken that the
muck is wet when composted, to pro-
mote fermentation and the diffusion of
alkaline ingredients. 1t should be work
ed over occasionally, and if the heap is so
as to allow this to be done
with the pillow it will insure a consider
able saving of labor.

the hands were also chilled, but he thought
he felt slight tiutter of the pulse. Tearing
open the dress, he pressed his hand against
