NASHVILLE MARKET REPORT.

Corrected from the Nashville Union every
Thursday evening.
The general trade was quiet and ir-
regular today. In some lines bust
ness was very good, while in othersit
was quite dull. The continued rain
is affecting some branches of trade
much more seriously than others.
The flour market was quiet but
steady with fair trade.
Wheat was in fair request. Sales
of twenty cars were reported for ship
ment made on basis of quotations.
Corn was quiet and dull but I'M
changed. Shipment today eight cars
for Southern points.
Provisions were very quiet with a
limited trade.
Groceries were steady and in good
demand. Coffees are firmer and frac-
tionally higher in the Eastern mar
kets. Sugars were steady and I'M
changed.
Country produce-Receipts of mar
keting were large today and prices
weak. Eggs were dull at 73c. The
receipts of poultry were large and the
market shade lower. Butter con-
tinues very dull. New potatoes sell
readily at quotations, but farmers are
prevented from digging by the wet
weather.

Eggs with a Difference.

Poultry Raiser.
The difference between an egg laid
by plump, healthy hen, fed with
good, fresh food daily, and an egg
laid by thin, poorly fed hen is as
great as the difference between good
beef and poor. A fowl fed on garbage
and weak slops, with very little grain
of any kind, may lay eggs to be sure,
but when those eggs are broken to
be used for cakes, pies, etc., they
will spread in weak, watery way
ever the dish, or look a milky white
instead of having a rich, slightly
yellow tinge. A erich egg" retains
its shape as far as possible and yields
to the beating of the knife or spoon
with more resistance, and gives you
the conviction that you are really
beating something thicker than wa
ter or diluted milk.

Farming in America.

Farming in America is to a great ex-
tent carried on by machinery, the farm
laborers are often the farmers own
sons and daughters, and it is by no
means uncommon to see a male agri-
culturist in "claw-hammern coat and
a "stove-pipe" hat guiding the pillow,
while several young ladies with Lang

provers to their skirts are shocking
peas in the barn, or churning cream, or
squeezing curds for cheese in the dairy.
These damsels would, as a rule, spurn
the bare idea of going into domestic
service; and when they lack the ca
pacty to become "school-marms, /"
they contentedly stay in their country
home, where they work ten times harder
than the farmers daughter does in En-
land. They cook, they wash and iron,
they do domestic chores but they
are all young ladies' they all have par

of ofal appears to exist, than it is in
other circumstances where there is very
little or none at all, and the liberal en-
ployment, judicious selection and eco
nomcal purpose or manufacture of
sound manurial materials is the funda-
mental condition of successful high
farming.
We have very frequently observed
that in the minds of some farmers
producers of large quantities of stable
oifal-the prevailing idea is, that the
solid portions are those really valuable,
and that the liquid may be neglected
and abandoned. Our great object here
is to impress upon such men as these
the utter tallacy of their op MONS, and
the necessity for their immediate re.
form, and to persuade them that they
are continually making ser Gus losses
by the waste of this precious fertilizer.
We suggest the adoption of a good sys-
tenn of drainage in every stable, the a
flooring of which should be upon a
slight incline to allow the liquid to pass
off with facility, by means of under
ground pipes made, if possible, from
good refractory clay. The urine should
be conducted to tanks or reservoirs, of
similar nature to those already recon-
mended n a previous chapter, and be
kept well covered over. These tanks
should be connected with pump, by
means of which the liquid could fire.
quently be made to saturate the form
| ing heaps f man re, thereby serving to
steady and regulate the fermentation or
process of COMBUSTION going on within.
If due weight is attached to these
points, they will produce the double ad-
vantage of increasing the quantity of
ammonia contl ned in the ult innate
manure, and of decreasing the risk of
contaminting the wells or spring made
use of by the cattle, if not by the popu-
lation of the neighborhood.
The solid portions of the saturated
straw should be allowed to remain I'M
der the cattle as long as is consistent
with health and convenience, and when
forked up should be carefully mixed
and deposited in uniform layers upon
the heap, care being taken to break up
and disseminate all lumpy portions be-
fore the application of the liqu d by
means of the pumping process above
described. The very highest possible
results will be obtained if, from the
commencement of each heap the habit
is contracted of regularly adding tc
each layer, as it is put on, certain
evenly distributed quantity OF some
art fetal manure, the nature of which
will be dictated, and vary according tC
