Care Of Manure.

Manure should never be allowed to
remain spread all over the yard, ex-
posed TO heavy summer rains and 10
the sun and wind. If it is necessary
to have it remain in the yard, il should
either be thrown into a heap where il
will be compact and as little exposed as
possible We believe that as a rule
manure should be fermented before it Is
applied to the soil There is nothing
gained by fermentation, and nothing or
next TO nothing will be lost, if absorb
ents are plentifully used but the In
gradients are, by fermentation, rendered
soluble and TO a condition 10 be taken
up by the plants. But here, as limited
in another place, the nature Of the sol
should be considered Clay mixed with
manure retards fermentation, while
sand hastens it; therefore, if green ma
nure Is to be used at all, it should be
upon a sandy soil. Another reason for
fermenting manure before it Is handled
is that fermentation greatly reduces Its
bulk. Three tons Of fresh manure Will
make about two tons when well rOtted.
The rotted manure can also be more
easily spread and Incorporated with the
soil. Still another reason for ferment-
ing manure, is the destruction of the
seeds Of weeds. 1t will not destroy
them all but it will greatly reduce
them.
If horse manure is thrown Intoa loose
heap, it soon begins to ferment, and II
this Is allowed TO 90 on, nearly all It's
ammonia, in the form Of the carbonate,
will pass into the air and is lost. When
fermented horse manure is handled,
white streaks will often be found, and
these are composed of the ashe Of that
portion which has been literally burned
up. Moisture will retard this termen-
tation, and it may be prevented by
treading it down. If this manure is
thrown into the pig cellar or pen and
the pigs allowed to trample upon it, the
escape Of ammonia Will cease. If,
therefore, the manure heap is moist
enough and large and solid enough, but
little ammonia will escape. All fermen-
tation should be the result of compost
ing, when the waste should be prevent
ed by the free use Of absOrbents. When
The liquid and solid excrements of ami
mails with absorbents are placed in a
heap, fermentation takes place. If the
absorbents used is straw, the woody
fiber Of the straw is converted into
humic and ulmic acids. These are in
soluble in water, and if the bulk of the
compost We're made up of straw or corn
stalks, the resulting manure would be
Of little value, But when a large pro-
portion is the excrement of animals,
carbonate Of ammonia is formed and
this unites with the humic and ulmic
acid and forms the humate and ulmate
of ammonia, both of which are soluble
in water; the brown color Of the drain
ings of the manure heap shows this,
and these DRAWINGS are rich in available
food for plants. Leaching of compost
ed manure before it is applied TO the
soil is to be especially guarded against.

HOW TO SAVE FORAGE.

Talladega Repnrter.j
The Social Farmers At their meeting
on Saturday last, discussed the subject
Of Silos and ensilage. A paper was
read bv DR. J. H. johnson on the sub
iect. The marked success which has
at ended recent experiments in preserv-
ing green forage Iii pits or sllos for win
ter use in our country has excited
much interest and attention. Thought
full men everywhere see in this ELI or
prise "a short road to successful stock
raising, and an abundant supply of
cheap, nutritious food for Wintering all
kinds OF cattle. Horses. mules, sheep
and even hogs thrive well and fatteG
on it. The careful experiments first
made were expensive, following closely
the plans pursued in France. The silos
were dag with care, the walls in line
and perfectly true. They were lined
with heavy stone masonry laid in hy-
drauIic cement TO make them air and
water tight. The coverings with heavy
plank tops were closely fitted and weight
ed with about foo of solid stone Thus

Prejudice Kills.

eleven years our daughter suffered on a
bed of misery under the care of several of
the best (and some of the worst) physicians,
who gave her disease various names but no
relief and now she is restored to us in good
health by as simple remedy as Hop Bit
tiers, that we had poohed at for two years,
before using it. We earnestly hope and
pray that no one else will let their sick suffer
as we did, on account of prejudice against
SO good medicine as Hop Bitters."-The
