10 The Gsarieston Weekly ,Neirs:;
The letter enclosed herewith from
Prof. Chay. U. Shepard, Jr., NJ. d., Is In
reply TO o letter Of Inquiry asking infor-
nation 10 regard to the proper mode Of
making compost manure:
lst. Of stable and lot manure, cotton
seed and an acid phosphate under ahelter.
I'd. Muck hauled TO the field and there
composteG with cotton seed and acid
phosphate.
The subject Of making, as near us p rae
ticable, all the manure required upon
the farm from material accessible, with
the use of as little of commercial fertil-
izers as possible, is Of very grsat impor.
tance to our people.
Fertilizers are being used, and nave
been for several yeas to such an extent,
to the neglect Of homemade manures,
with no visible improvement n the soil.
when not judiclously applied, that our
farmers are seriously considering the
abandonment Of their use altogether.
The plan suggested by Prof. Shepard will
insure more permanent end better ma
nuf1 at much less cost, tbut more labor.l
than the ammoniated fertilizer,

HoME.MADE FERrILIzEs.-Judge r.
F. Moore, one Of the most successful and
intelligent farmers of our county, hands
us the following formula forcompossing
homemade fertilizer, which, the Judge
claims, 10 as good as any Of the standard
commercial fertilizers in the market,
and cheap, because it costs nothing eS-
cept q little labor.
| The formula for one ton of the fertil-
tilizer is as follows: One thousand
pounds Of y:ch loan earth (procured
from the fence corners or wash places,
or surface dirt from the woods), and fif-
teen bushels ofcotton seed /; put into the
stable or stall of horse or COW, cover
vseE Wi.u . suinui0tiI sallIoun5 Of leaves
or straw TO prevent the stall from be-
coming muddy Or dirty. Let it be
tramped twenty or thirty days, when it
may be put in pen, and another supply
put in the stable.
BY this method Judge MooEe says that
ton Of fertilizer for each horse or COW
can be made, equal to the best fertilizer
offered In the market, which is distribu-
ted in the came way, and in the same
quantities as guano. All who know
Judge Moore, know that he has succeed
ed as a farmer, aud that he is no castle
builder. We hope oiir farmers viii s::.--SS s:.-S

DEAR SIR-Your letter handed me by
Mr.. G. e. Gibbon was read with much
pleasure, aud will endeavor 10 give the
desired information.
Stable manure is OF vory mnny differ
ent kinds. Where the animals are stall
fed and care ie taken not only to insure
rich manure, but also to save the iquid
droppings, as we'll as the solid, it has
high value. But when the urine is
allowed to escape as we'll as the vo,atile
products of the subsequent decomposi-
tion, the value, at least in ammonia, is
small. Again, In regard to the value of
stable manure, it depends entirely upon
the nature aud quantity of the food
given.
Fresh cotton seed yields, say 3.5 to 4
per cent. ammonia, as alec 9 pr cent.
phosphoric acid, and one per cent. pot
ash. a
Rough lot manure has very little value,
except to the land where 1t was deposited.
!! The 6rat rain and little snnshine a;ss:-
pate almost all Of its valuable ingredients
into the coil and atmosphere. question
whether it is worth the expense Of col
lecting it.
Muck, like stable manure, is of all
sorts, and has little manuriai value.
Acid phosphate by reason OF Its acidity,
is more valuable than the ash elemen;
for composts, as 1t produces moro rapid
chemical action.
With these facts, it is possible for you
to construct your manure piles. Iwould
suggest that pile composed in proper
proportion OF cotton seed, stable manure,
and an acid phosphate containing potash,
then we'll moistened, protected from rain
and covered with muck or loara to ensure
retention of all ammoniacal fumes, must
produce rich compost.
doubt If there is much profit In con-
structing such o manure heap ee you de-
scribe ("second") for your field one, be-
cause there is difficulty in protecting
from weather.
With regard TO thu apprehension as to
lack of ammonia and potash, o heap con.
strncted of cotton seed, stable manure
and phosphate containing potash, would
be deficient in neither; but if there is
any doubt as to the value of your stable
manure-and real stable manure is
almost never seen in the South-it would
pay you to supplement your compost
nalaring by the judicious use Of COM
plete manure, namely, an ammoniaied
superphosphate, containing also potash
and magnesia.
In conclusion, the proportions and
method suggested by you appear admira-
hle, and would only suggest that tho
layers be made rs thin as possible to the
end of promoting the. closest juxtspossi=
ton of the Ingredients.
Very respectfully,
i.ie CHARLES u. SHEPARD, IR.

FIRE AT Mexico o-0n Wednesday morning, be
tween 1 and O'Clock, Mr.. Constantine Beeherer
who resides in the village Of Mex co, a few miles
north of the city, discovered that his residence
was on fife He Immediately alarmed his neigh
bors. but the flames had gained such headway
that he had barely time to rescue his invalid wife
and save small amount Of furniture on the first
fioor before his house was in ruins. The build
Ing was a story and half frame and was totally
DESTROYED together with the contents Of the upper
story and the cellar. The loss will amount to
81 500: no Insurance. The origin Of the fire is
mystery, as there had been no DIRE in the Kitchen
where \ ia supposed to have started, since the al.
teruoon before, thus making 1t appear as though
Il was the work Of an incendiary.
Shortly aner or about the time Of the fire, an
attampt was aade to burglarize the Good Intent
House a short distance north Of Mexico, and Of
which Mr. Henry Cook Is proprietor. His vile
had occasion to come down stairs with light at
about that Tine to make q lemonade for sick
boy. and that Is probably what frightened the
burelars away. Nothing was disturbed, though
IN ,6e morning 1t was discovered that part Of
one Of the windows had been cut away during
the night
