There is no book devoted TO the
preparation OF swamp muck for manur.
ial purposes. The whole business is
so simple that il can be easily ex-
planned. The muck should be dug,
thrown into heaps, drained and then
used in the stables, pens and yards as
an absorbent, or composted with ma
nure, or with lime and wood ashes.
Whatever means can be used to decom-
pose it will serve to make it available,
but its best use is rs an absorbent for
the liquids which usually 90 to waste, -

Cheese + itters. Put about pint
of water into saucepan with piece of
butter the size of an egg, the least bit
OF cayenne and plenty OF black pepper.
When the water boils throw gradually
into it sufficient flour to form o thick

into it about a quarter of pound OF
grated Parmesan cheese, aud then the
yelks of three or four eggs and the
whites of two beaten up to a froth. Let
the paste rest for couple of hours, and
proceed TO fry By dropping pieces OF it
the size of a walnut into plenty OF hot
lard. Serve sprinkled with very fine
salt.
A very durable whitewash Is made
as follows: Take one-half bushel OF
good unslacked lime, slack it with boil
ing water, (cover it during the process
to keep in the steam0 strain the liquid
through sieve. and add one peck OF
salt. d SOLVED in warm water, three
pounds of ground rice boiled to n thin
paste; stir in boiling hot one-half pound
of powdered Spanish whiting, one
pound OF white glue; add five gallons
of hot water; let the mixture stand
few days covered from the dirt and
apply with \ brush To give it slight

1T is very satisfactorily shown that
crop of corn is easier ON the soil than
crop of oats 1t is far easier to pro-
duco sixty or seventy bushels OF corn,
weighing 5000 to 4, 200 pounds, 10 the
acre, with three or four tons of dry
fodder, than fifty bushels of oats,
weighing l,600 pounds, and ton of
straw. This is accounted for by the
fact that corn is able to procure large
quantity of its nitrogen from the soil
where oats cannot, and that good
crop of corn can be grown with the
help of potash and phosphoric acid
alone, and yet show in the crop large
quantity of nitrogen. while oats cannot
be grown without the nitrogen added TO
the other manures. Agreat many expert
ments have been made in this direction
with this effect. Now as nitrogen is
the most costly Ingredient of both fer
tilizers and OF feeding stuifs (of which
manure is made), it is considered that
the crops which need the most OF this
element to be supplied for their growth
are really the most exhausting crops.
Oats are generally considered 6y prac.
tical farmers to be unusually "hard on
the soil. - The writer has grown good
crops OF corn on the same plot FIVE
years in succession, and the last was the
best of all; but he has never heard of
oats being SO grown. -Rural Nc,0
