LIQUID Manure.

The subject Of the value of liquid
manure in its application to crops, in
field, garden and lawh, is again freely
discussed Mechi, the London alder
man, was among the first TO apply it
TO field crops, and for this purpose
prepared great deal Of expensive
machinery and employed a great
many men to do the work. His crops
bore testimony TO its great tertlllzln8
qualities, and these returns Mr.. Mecbl
was not slow in laying before the Brit
ish public. His statistics were libor.
ally quoted in this country, and he
has great many disciples-on paper
AS those who adopted his method Of
applying manure soon abandoned 1t
on account Of its responsiveness.
These disciples failed to see that IN
all Mr.. Mechi's statements he made
no comparison as to the relative eX-
pense of the two modes Of application
and relative products. This was care
fully omitted, and if we are correctly
informel-and it looks as if the in
formation is correct, as we have seen
no recent statement from that quarter
the practice has been abandoned by
the introductor, and it must have been
from the fact that the old mode OF
applying manure to land was the
quickest and most profitable.
For small lawns and gardens
where the expense is matter OF no
consequcnce--thore is no mode Of en-
1ichment so certain and effective as
LIQUID manure, for in those it can be
applied with watering pots commonly
" ed by gardeners For this purpose
a baison should be dug, from ten to
twelve feet IN diameter ana thTcc ltet
deep which should be filed with stable
manure and either conductor from a
roof turned upon it rain water being
the best-or supplied from a hydNnt
or pump, the water being added grad
ually, SO as to admit to the daily turn
ing over Of the mass. In few days
or a weeESi will be fit to use and can
be applied as the necessity may occur.
In this limited way liquid manure can
be used with great effect; but upon the
farm it woald take mint Of money
to dispose Of it, whatever the ben.Iie-
ial results may be upon the CROP

slow, the heat may be raised to $50
degrees. One hour is long enough to
bake a loaf of wheat bread, unless
quite large; and in a range or stove
oven it is not desirable to attempt to
bake large loaf Be careful that no
door or window brings a draft over
the stove while baking. Open the
oven door as seldom as possible, and
if necessary to turn the loaf round
in the oven, try to do it without BRING
