Mr.. EAekiel skinner Of flainAsld, Yer
mont inquiries whether hen manure IL
worth dollar barrel. and how II should
be prepared As fertilizer for corn IN the
hin. Also how much should he used 10
the acre
There is /. much difference IN the value
Of ben manure. according 10 the food CIV.
90. as there is 10 other manure. The al.
periori,y Of ben manure consists firstly in
the fact tbs, fovls usually have more
concentrated diet than other domestic an
imals grain, insects. meats-scraps, etc. u;
aud secondly in the fac, that the urine OF
fowls is moi a liquid. but a soft solid, which
is passed Of along with the dung and con
stitntcs the white coating seen upon It,
Thus all the eIerement Of fowls is found
in their manure. while the fluid excremont
Of other animals is more liable to he lost
aud in fact generally is Loaf to a sreA, eI-
tent though ii is quite equal in value to
the solid part,
But to answer the question as well as we
can, We should say that barrel OF pure
dry hen manure OF average quality Is as
we'll worth one dollar barrel as the best
supcrphosphate is worth five dollars bar
rel We should give the hen manure the
preference at the price. unless We knew
that the hens we're fed mostly on potatoes
aud kitchen waste instead OF grain aud
meat-scraps. AS they should be. But 1t
should be clear hen manure, free from
sand, sawdust, straw, or other litter. and
it should be tolerably dry.
Asa fertilizer for corn, either in the
hill or sown broadcast aud narrowed In
just before planting 1--WE prefer the latter
hen manure shonld be composted aud we
recommend the following as a good com
post, that will make complete fertilizer
for corn, in quantity sufficient without any
other manure, to give good crop OF corn
on an acre of fair corn land
Fine, dry, sifted hen manure, IA bushels
Dry, uuleached ashes, % bushels
Land plaster gypsum, 7bushels
The hen manure should be spread out to
dry until it can be beaten 8ne enough to
go through sieve with one'fourth inch
mesh Then make pile Of the sifted ma
nure ard add the plaster, shoveling them
together until well mixed. Then add the
ashes and shovel over again until they are
equally well mixed in. II used in the hill
half pint should be scattered over foot
square, little dirt thrown over it and the
corn dropped and covered. The cost OF
the compost may be reckoned thus:
Hen manure. $500
Ashes. $50
Plaster. COO
Total, $1,000
This dressing will NOT be much more
than half exhausted by the first crop, I'M
less the lind was quite poor to begin with.
Both the ashes and the plaster may be re.
ducei one-half without seeing much diff
ference in the corn.--Dr. Hoskins.

nR- GL4DSTONES NEW WORK.

II.
The first question to which the attention of
the British Commons will be directed during
fine session opening to-day will be the revision of
ITS own rules The principal change likely to
be made is the adoption of some cilcctual
means of limiting and closing debate, but there
are many other alterations III the antiquatcd
methods of procedure which i'll the opinion OF
practical legislators have become absolutely
necessary. The precedents of which the Par
nellites have taken undue advantage, and the
practices which have tended to paralyzc the
action Of the Commons, have embodied the
time-honored principle of individual and min
or'ty rights. 1t has long been tie vaUnt of
Englishmcn that the privileges of \ minority
were more adequately protected in the Com
mons than in any other legislative assembly III
the world. The practice of putting questions
TO Ministers on the most trivial matters has
involved great waste of time; the unre-
stricted privilege Of debate which every mem
Der has looked upon as an inalienable right,
has left not only the Government OF the day
but the whole House at the mercy OF desperate
Obstructonists and the cxactOn from the
whole House of committee work which could be
more mtcllgently performed by select and
standing committees has invariably retarded
the dispatch of public business In every in
stance the clumsy and irrational method of
procedure has been justified on the common
ground that individual rights must be pro-
tected at all hazards. Practically the whcle
House has been reduced to a state Of bondage
in order that every member might have abso-
lutte license to CrOss-eXamine Ministers, to
debate every question as often rs and whenever
he liked to obstruct the course of public busi-
ness by dilatory motions, and To discuss the de-
tails of every measure III Committee In no
other national Parliament are the rights of the
majority so inadequately protected.
The rights OF the minority were temporarily
abridged during the last session OF the Com
mons. A tentative form of the previous qG"s-
ton was agreed upon at conference of the
leaders of the two great parties. BY this eX-
pedient a Minister VAS enabled to declare
public business urgent and tie Speaker was
authorized to suspend the debate and To sub
nit the motion for urgency directly to the
House If the question were carried 10y a ma
joIity of not less than three to one in House
OF Rot less than 800 members, the business in
hand could be dispatched at the discretion of
the Speaker. This form of closing debate was
regulated b. d series OF rules relating TO mo-
tiOns for adjournment iUccyance or repcti-
tions in speaking calls for divisions and orders
for committee reports. The new rules were ap-
piled when the Coercion bills were passed, but
a subsequent effort Oh The part OF the Govern
n4eHt ~ expedite certain votes on supply by
