Use OF N,oHr.soil..


Ono OF the Most Valuable Additions 70
the Available supply Of Manure.
When, some years ago, ! had an op-
portunity Of gathering tho offal CT
considerable country town TO which
my farm was adjacent, made about
three hundred tons OF the best kind Of
manure at a cost Of not more than n
dollar per ton, including all expenses
and charges for use OF tenms. The
streets were scraped and largo
quantity OF all sorts Of wnstc matter
leaves, manure, gutter-mud, garbage,
etc.-was gathered and mixed with the
night-soil so that II was handled In an
inoffensive and easy way. Tho odor
was neutralized by means OF gypsum
(plaster) liberally scattered over the
heaps as they were made, and the
large quantity of earth from the streets
also helped to the same end. esti-
mated the value of the crops raised by
means Of this compost as quite cqunl
to 5000 year. Tho ccss-pools were
emptied by means Of large buckets
raised by rope and pulley. The
buckets were filed by man using
long handled scoop, and quite often
the house over tho cess-pool was moved
over new one, and the old one was
then emptied and filed In with the
clean earth. from the one newly dug.
But this Is semi-civilized way only
OF dealing with this valuable waste.
The best way is to make the dry earth
closet imperative. The agricultural
| press has made several most valuable
reforms, and II can inforce this II II
will make tho attempt, II IL will only
keep pogging away at 1t. II would
pay an enterprising farmer to supply
these closets, simply made, and the dry
Garth required at weekly intervals, and
20 remove the contents Of the boxes
for the value OF tho manure. have
found that II family of three persons
will accumulate about one ton of earth
closet refuse In one year, and ! esti-
mate this to be worth $40 for use.
don't care about the estimated value
from analysis; I think farmer who
has paid 50 for q ton Of city manure
in which he gets large percentage Of
rubish. can make $40 out of ton OF
the soil from an earth-closet, with less
labor by far than by handling three
tons Of city stable manure.
The crops for which this domestic
fertilizer Is most useful are those Of O
very succulent kind, such us cabbages,
beets, musk melons (this crop is c.
peeially improved by it), onions, pota-
toes and grass. 1t is the best of all for
lawn, because OF Its fneness and
solubility, rs well as for its fcrtillzing
effect. 1t is easily applied as top
dressing, or narrowed in after the land

Tho best effects yet were upon 10
acre field Of clover and timothy, which
gave 25 tons Of hay the first cutting,
and yielded for tho second crop more
than half as much moro OF the finest
kind OF clover hay and pasture after

The prejudice that exists In this

Perhaps 1t is caused by our being above

of fifteen he was placed in cabin
built in the corn er of the yard where
his parents lived. The cabin was built
especially for his occupancy, and he

nobody not even the members OF the
family, to come near him, except his
sister, who would bring his meals and
sweep up the room.
While she was in the room he would
jump into bed and sit down and watch
her until she had left. He is now
sixty.fye years old and his hair is as

outside the house since he was put
into it but once, and that was when it
was torn down to be rebuilt. He has
