Charcoal.

One of the little things which is

coal. The hens will not consume a

the good effects of it are admitted

Charcoal is not usually kept for
sale in the villages, and the major

methods, more or less complex, for

together, then sprinkle the powder
on the flesh side of the skin, and
lay the two flesh sides together,

fold up the skin as light as you can

Value OF sheep Manure.

The manure from sheep is worth
more than that derived from any
other animal, next that from the
hog, and then from the horse, ma
nure from cattle being less valuable
than from other animals, but in
quantity produced cattle comes
first, then horses, next hogs, with
sheep last. The value of manure
does not depend altogether upon
the animal producing it, however,
as the character of the food con-
sumed largely influences the ma
nure, and the manure from an ami
NAL varies in quality and quantity
daily.

horse and another white man there, the
claimant was permitted to ride him
away. a warrant was secured from
Justice Bertrand of this city for the
