Quantity and Value OF the Manure of
Cattle.

Correspondent of Spirit of the Farm.
We learn on good authority that
COW fed on one hundred pounds of
grass gave seventy-oue pounds of solid
and liquid deposit. An OK would pro-
duce 1875 pounds while feeding on tur-
nips or mangolds, with twenty-five
pounds of straw daily, or in all, about
$50 pounds of solid and liquid manure
daily.
In reference to the value of manures
from different kinds of farm stock, that
from lorses is much superior to that
from oxen; that from oxen superior to
that from COWS, and that from old and
| full-grown far superior to that from
young animals. A COW in feeding ex-
tracts larger quantity of the nutritious
qualities of food than an OK, because
food passes more rapidly into the form
of milk than into that of muscle, or
flesh and fat.
Again, nearly all the food consumed
by full.grown animals goes TO supply
the natural waste of the system, where.
as much of that consumed by younger
ones is absorbed in the formation Of
additions to the bones, flesh and fat,
and this is why the richest manure i;
produced by animals already fat and
full grown.
Horses produce in solid and liquid
deposits together three-fourths in weight
of what they eat and drink. A vel
fed horse would give nine and a hal
tons of solid and liquid manure per an
mum. And if to this were added abou
two and half tons of straw and othel
litter for bedding, the whole amour
made by horse in stable in yea
might be estimated at twelve tons
\ Think of the valuable helpers on tn,
farm when properly utilized.
According to the usual mode of man
aging manure-far more than half it
value is lost by exposure to rain, sui
and wind, while the liquid portion
seldom saved at all. AS manures ar
usually managed, there is little wOnde
that some should think them hardl
worth hauling and spreading. TIL
virtue has gone out of them. In est
, mating the value of manures, muc
depends on the nature of the food con
sumed. The more nitrogen there is i
the food, the more ammonia will ther
be in the manure. A COW or an OK o
straw, poor hay and no grain, will yiel
/, manure of much less value than on
fed on richer food, with oil cake, etc

LOWELL, MASS, Sept. II, '63.
Asa Faulkner, Esq, McMinnville,
Tenn: Dear Sir-Concerning your wa
ter power on the Caney Fork river
which | looked over some time ago, /
have calculated the power of the stream
and find the following:
River was guaged June 25th, 1883.
Flow of the river 915 cubic feet per
second Natural fall of river at the
upper or first falls Of CaneY Fork $50.
Power of river under above conditions
3431 horse power.
By building dam of 7 feet height
fall of 40 feet could be very easily
obtained and the water would not back
up the river but short distance above
the confluence of the Caney Fork and
Collins rivers, or, in other words, to
the rapids just above the confluence
above mentioned. With fall of 40
feet and flow of 915 cubic feet per
second, the river would yield 4159
horse power. Should the river ever
flow less than the above quantity, that
is to say if it is ever lower than when
/ guaged it, of course the power would
be proportionately decreased but |
think that with the natural fall we can
safely calculate on 5000 horse power,
thus allowing considerable margin for
drouth. This 5000 horse power, you
will understand, is estimated as the
minimum capacity of the river at it;
lowest possible stage, and of course il
the amount of power which can be es
timated upon for driving machinery

might yield or be capable of yielding

Sober Words of Truth.

Tie marriage laws of Pennsylvania
are sadly in need of amendment. There
are few states in the union III which II
is easier for persons to become man
and wife. No license is necessary.
No previous publication of the inten-
tion of the parties is demanded. No
witnesses are required. There Is Il
law, it is true, forbidding the marriage
of minors, but 1t is seldom enforced.
In fact there is absolutely no restrlc-
ton in the ulject at all. II man
and woman take mp housekeeping to-
gether and The man introduces the wo-
man as his vile, they are hell by the
courts to be as truly married rs though
a drzen preachers had tied the knot
Perhaps this would he all right II 1t
were not for the misery to which it so
frequently leads. The ease with which
marriages may be contracted temptS
mary young and foolish persons to en-
ter into this relation with little tho ught
and a mere surface acquaintance. y
passing whim, sudden impulse or
passion, is mistaken for true regard
which alone is abiding. In a little
time the young people discover ach
Others faults. The novelty or their
new relation wears off, the husband de-
serts his wife and she flies to the too
complisnt divorce courts for release,
only, in too many instances to repent
her former bitter experience. The
next legislature should be invited to
give this important matter its serious
attention. The stability of the home
is pillar of pablo security. Altoona

The Great Growth of Chicago.

Il9 Great GTOWlu OL O1lACdSc'
From the Inter-Ocean.
Fifty years ago to day the town of
Chicago was incorporated. There were
then Geo Inhabitants. There are now
co., 900. At the date Of incorporation
Of Chicago st. Louis had II population
of $1,000, Cincinnati nearly 2J,O0 !,
Pittsburg $4,000, Philadelphi" $1,000,
and New York 250,000. Chicago was
at the tail end of western villages, while
all the places mentioned were cities.
The village that mustered forty-siX
votes on the 10th of August, 1888, has
outstripped all the cities of the United
States of that day, except New York
and philadelphia.
New York, founded in 1850, did not
reach a population of 100000 until
1850, and Philadelphia did not reach
the same standard un til 1861. In 9TH
er words, Chicago has accomplished as
much in the way Of growth in fifty
years as New York did in 2)G.
