IiUlIid Manure

The liquid excrements of all kinds of
stock are of more value for fertlliZing
land than the solid excrements. Still
the great majority of farmers take no
pains to save them. Stables should be
so constructed that the urine voided by
animals may run through shoots into
tanks from which it may be pumped out
and sprinkled over the land or be con-
Quoted into watts filed with absorbents.
The former method of disposing of
liquid manure is attended with more
trouble than the latter, and is produc-
tive of poorer results, unless the mate
rial is sprinkled over grass or poured on
soil planted with vines, bushes or plants
that require to have their growth stimu-
lated as fast as possible. Currant
bushes, tomato plants, squash and mel
on vines derive very great advantages
from liquid manure applied at different
times during the season. They are
gross feeders and soon take up the solu-
bic portions of the solid manure that was
applied in the spring or the previous fall.
For most field crops it is easier nd bet
ter to fix the liquid manure by means of
absorbents, such as dried peat or muck,
forest leaves, straw, refuse hay, sawdust
or any material employed for bedding
horses and cattle. The pores in these
substances will take up the liquid ma
nure and render it easy to handle. |,
Will also cause the substances with which
it is combined to decay very rapidly.
An excavation may be made in farm
yard, and rendered tight by stone, brickt
plank, or cement, into which liquid ma
nure can be easily conducted. If waste
vegetable matter be placed in this it Will
soon absorb the liquid and become par
italy decomposed This manure mill
may be kept in constant operation with
out expense.

Cranberry Culture.

An old subscriber asks the best way
to charge piece of meadow land cover
ed with grass into cranberries; and hav-
ing had some experience in cranberry
culture for few years, i will make few
suggestions for his benefit. If | knew
the exact nature of the soil, [ should
know better how to advise him. The
best kind of soil for cranberries is peat
or bog soil. There should be a main
ditch or drain with dam at the end
through the centre of the meadow, and
smaller bitches leading into it, and these
bitches kept nearly full of water. The
grass should be removed, and if there
be no sand in the soil, a layer of sand
should be spread on, from two to four
inches deep, according to the depth Of
muck.
The dryest part of the summer is the
best time for preparing the land, plough
ing and plating it off, and heaving the
soil up in beds of about four rods wide.
The furrow should be run straight, and
the vines dropped in about one foot
apart. Put the vines in SO they may
stick up between the burrows. The
ground should then he rolled down
thoroughly. If sufficient vines for every
furrow cannot he had, only place them
in every other furrow. But il Is best to
set them thick, so that the ground may
be well covered with the vines. The
vines should be hoed the first year to

English SparrOvVs and Small Fru;t.

This lively little fellow has elicted
considerable discussion for two or three
years past. His family increases 50
rapidly that most of our large towns
and cities are already quartering his
progeny, likewise his cousins, and his
uncles and his aunts, and their descend.
ants in large numbers.
In regard to whether these birds are a
benefit or an injury, the weight of argu-
ment has thus far gone to prove that
they are not desirable acquisition.
They are exceedingly pugnacious. driv-
ing away almost every other bird that
comes within their reach, or attempts to
build its nest in their vicinity. But the
most serious count in the indictment
against them is the injury they do to
fruit; not so much to the fruit itself. but
to the bushes and the trees during the
winter. A case in point has recently
come under observation. Mr.. j. New
hall, of Toronto, Canada, has hitherto
been an advocate of the English spar
rows, and frequently defended them in
the public prints, but he has had an ex-
perience with them the past winter which
has cooled his admiration. He has red
current patch to which the sparrows paid
great attention. Curiosity led him to
investigate the matter, when, to his sur
prise and CONSERVATION, he found every
bush entirely denuded of every fruit bud
as clean as if it had been rubbed down
with leather-gloved hands. Not bud
left! Further investigation showed that
his Glass seeding plums were nearly
stripped of every bud also, and his May
duke cherries were considerably dam
aged. Mr.. Newhall now thinks that if
these sparrows increase in the same ratio
for the next three years that they have
the past three, it will be useless to at
tempt to grow small fruits in Toronto.
He thinks also that this matter is fit
subject for the consideration of fruit
growers associations. His suggestion is
proper and timely, for these sparrows
multiply prodigiously and are spreading
rapidly throughout the country. Fore

A Wonderland, not far away;
l crossed no seas, / climbed no heights,
spent no toilsome days nor nights
| came not to 1t IN my dreams,
Nor fancies born of morning beams:
trod the earth, / breathed the air,
The known fields were my neighbors there;
Yet such hallowed place ! found,
Islanded from the world around
The trees o'erreached from either side
A Inoss-grown path not over vide;
Its windings seen little space,
Then lost In boughs that interlace.
Soon as saw owned the spell:
NV feet In quiet reverence fell;
For there were moses and long grass,
Catching at sunbeams az they pass;
And many leaves, new leapt from earth,
Green from their fresh and dewy birth.
But Oh, that could tell the sight,
That flooded all my soul with Light.
There, mid green leaves luxuriant, grew
Violets--a hundred eyes Of blue,
Each cluster seemed fairy band,f
Each nest of leaves fairy-land;
And all the dir was odorous
with Joys no words can tell b US,
with every unimagined thing
We dream Of in the days of Spring.
Alas how small q boon are words,
BY the Wild raptures of the birds.
Had blackbird's song, perchance,

With my sweet memories of that place.
Now, with weak words | strive in vain;
Into my breast they turn again;
And, all unwilhngly, my heart
Feeds on her heavenly joys apart.

Some Facts Thrown il Your Teeth.

The dental authorities estimate that
the $4,000 dentists In the country are
every year packing into the teeth OF the
people not less than half a ton of pure
gold, costing not more than half q million
dollars, besides about four times as much
cheaper material, as silver and platlna,
worth 100000 more Then there are
made every year about 100000 artl-
fetal teeth mounted on gold, platina or
rubber. This indicates that as a people
we take pretty good care of our teeth,
yet the dentists say that not half the
people who need it avail themselves OF
their services, and that indeed only one
person in eight has perfect teeth.

FARM, GARDEN AND HOME.
Spring Care Of Sheep.

As many OF our readers are keepers of
sheep, and as it is quite probable, at
present prices of wool, that many others
soon will be, perhaps a little advice on
the subject would he well received. 1t
is simply astonishing how many farmers
keeping sheep, and who ought by this
time to show the fruits of experience,
which are supposed to be gained by years
of constant pursuit, yet keep their tlocks
at this most critical season of the year as
If the question of increase and revenue
was of no consequence. Sheep must be
kept dry, and they must have ration Of
roots or grain, and be kept from the
fields In the spring if lambs are expected
to live. No good farmer will allow the
first blade of grass to entice his sheep
out of their enclosure, which should be
large, dry, and, il possible, with a
southern exposure 1t is all nonsense
that coarse wooded, large sheep will not
thrive in confinement and it is fallacy
to imagine that beca Use, after running
in the fields through the winter when
there is a spot of bare ground to be
seen, they begin to show it in the spring
by their weakness, they can be fatted up
by extra 1000 all AT once.
Our experience has been, in the past
that they will be very apt to grow worse,
many die, and others refuse to own their
lambs. To get satisfying result, let
their feed be nourishing and abundant
all through the winter. 1t is true that
sheep will get their living out doors at
any time when the ground is bare, and
the temptation is strong when the bleat-
ing flock are looking from their yards at
the bare fields, to let them out and save
little hay; but have observed that ON
farms where this kind of economy pre-
walls it Is no difficult matter to find here
and there the carcass of an old eve,
whose digestive powers have managed
very well through the winter on the cold
rubbish left in the wake of a disappear
ing snowdrift, but whose days of useful
ness end with the spring
There are thousands of good, intell-
gent sheep owners in the United States,
who understand their own interest well
enough to avoid the above practice, but
in the New England states the storms
are too severe and sudden, and where the
sheep are let into the fields they are often
overtaken by cold or wet, the digestion
impaired, the appetite becomes tickle,
and they are ill-disposed to accept the
regimen offered and the confinement
which becomes necessary at lambing
time, especially If the lambs are early.
1t would be much better to keep them
on good, regular feed, and in sunny,
roomy quarters, until their natural food
in the pasture is in sufficient abundance
to admit of their being turned out for
good. H. u. IN american CuttiUa-

soon as the cranberries are picked, and
keep the vines under water from the lost
OF September until the middle of Nav
or until there is no danger of freez;ns
nights. When you draw the water off
leave the bitches full, so that the ground
may be kept moist, and not dry up in
time of drought. If your ground needs
no sand, you have only to plough eight
or ten inches deep, and drop the vines.
then roll, and open your bitches, and
your cranberry patch is finished, and
without any great expense. The vines
can be set by hand Point handspike
at the end and put piece of iron over
