MANAGEMENT OF MANURE.
Wo remember the time when farmers
used to let their heaps of manure remain
through the summer, ferment ini'and send
ing off the gases, which are the finest and
most valuable parts of the manure. Some,
times the heap would bo nearly hot enough
to produce spontaneous combustion. We
once put some potatoes in a heap of fer
inenting manure to sprout them, and in a
tew days, on examination, we found that
they were done, being completely roasted.
Resides the great waste from fermenta
tion, the manure was drenched with rains ;
and the soluble parts, the best that remain
ed, were carried away, and frequently de
posited where they were not needed. Thus
by “fire and flood” all the most valuable
parts of the manure were dissipated and
carried away. Then the manure was black
and niellow, and farmers considered it in
fine condition for Indian corn or other crops
for the next season. So it was hauled out
in the fall, and deposited in the field for
that purpose. . How much was lost in this
way we cannot tell, perhaps one third by
the escape of gases, and another third might
be carried away in solution, for the stream
from the manure was dark and rich.
Manure should never ferment without be
ing well covered with loam of some sub
stance to absorb the gasses ; and when ap
plied to the soil, it should be covered imme
diately ; and if the soil be light and porous
it should be covered a good depth or the
gases will escape. If manure in the heap
is likely to ferment before it can be conve
niently applied to the soil, and it be not con
venient to cover it with loam, or anything to
receive and retain the gases, it may be o
verhauled and exposed to the air to keep it
cool. It is better to spread out manure be
fore fermentation commences, though it will
lose something by being thus exposed to the
air, than to let it remain to heat in the heap.
For when in a heap the decomposition is ra
pid and the loss great. When spread out
and exposed, the fermentation is slow and
the loss in a given time comparatively
small.
Some writers recommend preparing ma
nure for crops by allowing it to ferment be
fore applied to the soil, but this method is
very injudicious, unless some method is ta
ken to retain the gases. Partially decom
posed manure is good to give plants an ear
ly start, but the support thus given soon
fails, and if there be not other manure or
rich soil, the plant fails in a measure be
fore the crop is matured. We prefer ap
plying manure before fermentation, that
the gases may enrich the soil and make it
light and mellow. In this case if there be
not a rich soil to give the plants a start in
the first of the year, it may be well to ap
ply ashes or poudrette, or something to give
them an early start, if any thing of the kind
can be procured with economy.
We have found that though old manure
gives the plant a good color and rapid
grow th in the first of the season, the crop is
usually lighter than when manure is ap
plied in its full strength, that gives an a
bundancc of nutriment to the plants when
the crop is matured, this being the time
when it is most needed. When old manure,
or fine compost can be conveniently mixed
with new rfianure, they answer well, asone
affords food for plants in the early part of
the season, and the other in the latter part.
Lightwood from Old Field Pines. —Mr. J.
11. Fugua, in writing for the Southern Plan
ter, makes a few remarks on old field pines,
the correctness of which we hope some of
our correspondents w ill put to the test of
actual experiment and furnish us with the
result.
He remarks, “I consider a grove of such
pines exceedingly valuable for garden post,
or posts of any kind ; if properly prepared,
they will last as long as locust or any other
timber. My mode of treatment is as fol
lows : I lake a drawing knife and draw off
the bark as the tree stands, as high up as I
want to use it: in this situation, the tree,
which will not die, remains a twelvemonth, \
when in consequence of the sun having
drawn the rosin to the surface, it will be
come a solid bulk of lightwood, and will be
ready for use.”— Planter.
i REES.—It is a custom in Turkey,
says Dr, Walsh to plant a pluturnus orien
tals. (buttonwood tree) on tic.’ birth of a
son; and a cypress on the deal It of one.
Were this custom adopted in the United
| States, it would give us, at the end of fortv
years, about twenty millions of trees more
than we shall probably have; a considera
tion of no mean importance to posterity.
And were the trees to be planted by the
roadside, most of our public highways
wauld at the end o’ the period, be converted,
into delightful avenues. Let it he remem
bered that the road from Strasburg to Mu
nich, a distance of 2.00 miles, is already an
avenue of fruit trees.
PEACH TREES.
When bearing trees are planted in low
places, the blossom buds are urged forward
by the warmth of the day, and the in
creasing severity of night frosts destroy
them—but on hills, these extremes of heat
and cold do not occur; hence they general
ly escape. One of the early setlers of
Wayne county, near Palmyra, twenty-four
years ago planted a peach orchard on a hill,
nearly one hundred feet above the average
height of land; and during twenty years
since they first began to hear, he lias oply
one crop (jy -Cnltirnipr.
CEMENT FOR GRAFTING-
Two pounds and two ounces of rosin,
six ounces of bees wax. Melt themlogeth
or, and turn the mixture into cold water,
and lot it remain until cool enough to han
dle; then vvork it as shoemaker’s wax.
We have used cement thus made, and found
that it remained on the stock for years. It
is not so soft as to run in hot weather, nor
so hard as to crack in cold weather, all of
the ingredients for making this dement
must be of a good quality.
Cutting Asparagus. —l stumbled acciden
tally, and from carelessness, several years
since upon the plan of cutting Asparagus,
which I have since recommended very
highly ; which is not to cut it below the
ground, as usual, but to allow it to grow
from fifteen inches to two or three feet long,
and cut off about one footof the top. By
doing so, almost the whole will be equally
tender and well flavored ; while in the old
way, only an inch or two is eatable. It is
a fact, that Asparagus does not become
tenderunti! it turns green. I always thought
it a poor vegetable, until I cultivated it, and
gathered it as above ; and now I find it one
of the best. I think also, that there is a
great deal more fuss, (pardon the word, as
unclassical, but very expressive,) made a
bout the cultivation of Asparagus, than
there is any need for. I would say, make
beds three fee* apart, as if for cotton, lav
vour roots about eighteen inches apart in
the alley, haul the bed back upon them, co
ver them well with fresh stable or other
strong manure, immediately and every
year; and if they are planted early in the
winter, you may cut thepi twelve or four
teen months after. They may not possibly
be as large as candles, but none the less
palatable for that, nor boar any the worse
for it—at leust 1 have not found it so. If
you on a sea-island, and can make a bed in
salt land, you will find it thrive to your
satisfaction ; and if you live in the interior,
empty all refuse-salt and salt substances
upon your bed as its specific manure.
Southern Agriculturalist.
Planting Large Potatoes. —We have been
of the opinion, that if large potatoes were
planted instead of slips, a much finer crop
would be made, and we requested a friend,
who raised usually large potatoes to try the
experiment last year, of planting both kinds
—the very large and the slips. The fol
lowing is a letter received from him on the
subject.— Planter.
Df.au Sir —l promised you the result of
an experiment in planting the full grown
and largest size sweet potato, instead of the
smallest size, such as are usually planted.
As you are aware, I alternately planted one
row of large and one of very small pota
toes. In harvesting I could not preceive
any advantage whatever from the large o
ver the small seed. This result was con
trary to my expectation, particularly as
there was a marked difference in the vine,
during the early part of the summer, those
from the largest seed appearing much more
vigorous.
Necessity of a Change of Crops. —ln a
conversation the other day with an intelli
gent friend, I stated the remarkable fact,
that if an animal were to be confined to one
particular diet for a certain numberofdays
sickness, and eventually death must be the
consequences ; when he immediately ap
plied the, rationale of the fact to a subject
at once so highly interesting and natural,
that 1 cannot help recording it. “Then,”
said he, “this shows at once the necessity of
a change of food to the crop ; or which is
the same thing, a change of crop to the soil;
a rotation of crops, as it is called.” Now in
this little remark, a volume is thrown open
to our perusal, arid by studying it, I believe
we may derive information and advanta
ges at present unknown and unappreciated;
and in return for the many useful hints and
very pleasant ideas that I am continually
reaping and garnering up from the perusal
ofyour paper, I offer the above in grateful
acknowledgement.— Farmer’s Cabinet.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Tobacco has done nearly as much as ar
dent spirits to brutalize mankind. Pipes,
of whatever description, are an abomina
tion. In point of stench, the most exten
sive meerschaum is even worse than the
hod carrier’s clay. Boys carry cigars in
their mouth in the vain attempt to look man
ly—newly imported rustics to look know
ing; fools as an excuse for having nothing
to say. Mouths which are incapable of
fascinating the fair by their eloquence, and
securing .hat ‘sweet pressure’ of ruby lips,
which is the well earned meed of gallantry,
may be fittingly converted by their owners,
into chimney pots—since they are good for
nothing else.
Curious ideas shoot across the brain of
children sometimes. ‘Mother,’ said a little
child, who had just learned to talk, ‘can
serpents talk.’
‘No, my child replied the mother.’
‘Then how did the serpent‘tell Eve to eat
the apple?’
Here was a poser; the mother however
happily got over it by replying that God,
on that occasion jiermitted it. Still the lit
tle fellow was at a loss to know why God
should permit a serpent to talk. He was
equally puzzled to comprehend where the
stuff came from that rocks were made of!
The First of April. —A train of cars oti
Saturday the Ist ult., at Concord, passed
over a man lying on the track, and severed
his head from his body. The cars were
•stopped, the passengers jumped out, and
tile mutilated body was picked up, when it
was discovered that the body was only a
man of straw. The person who had picked
up the head came to his senses, and found
that he was holding a large red cabbage, of
which the blood had been discovered upon
the track proved to’ be the juice. A by
stander happening to recollect that it was
the first day of April, the mystery was ex
plained ; the passengers resumed their
scats, the train was again put in motion.
LIFE IN EASTERN TEXAS.
Dancing to a Strange Tunc. —Amoug the
many mad wugs attached to the Santu Fe
Expedition there was not a more invetcrct
getter-up of practical jokes than Capt. H.
Poor, fellow ! he is dead now ; but the mem
ory of some of his laughable pranks still
lives.
Several years since, and in the early his
tory of a country whose existence is but of
recent date, Capt. H. was sent by the Se
cretary of War on a recruiting tour througii
Eastern Texas. While jimmying from
•place to place on horseback bechanced one
evening to stop at a small tavern, where he
soon discovered that every preparation was
in progress for a hall. Ever ready and ripe
for a thing in the shapo of fun or frolics,
the captain ut once resolved to “put up” at
the tavern for the night and take part in the
festivities.
At the time the circumstances took place
which we are about to relate, society was
said to.be divided into three distinct classes
in Texas. First, there waslhe aristocracy,
or “upper crust,” who, from the fact that
they wore shoes and stockings, were by
common consent allowed to take preceden
ce in all matters of taste, elegance or fash
ion. Then came the second, or middle
class, an order that wore shoes but were
unable to go to the expense of stockings.—
The third or lower class “went barefoot”
and ranked below the first mentioned gra
des in every respect. Thus was society
divided at the date of this history.
After Capt. H. had “seen to” his horse
and procured his own supper he repaired to
the ball room. There he found a promis
cuous assemblage already collected, many
of them engaged in the giddy mazes of co
tillions, jigs and contre-dances. He no
ticed, however, that none other than those
who wore shoes and stocking were upon the
floor, and as the evening wore towards mid
night he ascertained that none other were
allowed to take a part in the dance. By
this time the -“first society” had become
wearied with salutary exe.cise and relin
quished their claim to the next in rank, the
middle classes.
Here was another monopoly, for unless a
person had shoes upon his or her feet such
person would not be allowed upon the floor,
it bore heavily upon the lower orders—the
shoeless and stockingless gentry —but they
were compelled to submit to those arbitra
ry laws which always have and always
will govern alike in the most free as in the
most despotic countries.
A wooden clock upoti the mantel piece,
which had found its way into Texas in com
pany with some Yankee pedler, was stri
king its little hours before the middle clas
ses became wearied with dancing ; but by
the third watch of the night they too had
had tired themselves down and manifested
a willingness to give up the floor to the next
in grade.
But now a dilemma occurred which en
tirely spoiled the sport of those who up to
this time had had “no show” whatever—
the fiddler, who had been imbibing rather
copiously of whiskey, was found to be so
drunk that he could not sit upon a chair,
much less draw a tune from his violin.—
The lower classes were in sore distress, as
no Other musician could be found. They
rolled the drunken man upcyi the floor, they
stirred him up, they r'fjbbed his head with
vinegar, and they crammed an entire jar
of Underwood’s pickles down his throat—
but all would not do. V
At this juncture, and when the poorer
people had given up all .in despair, their
spirits were suddenly elated By an offer on
the part of Capt. H., provided they could
procure him the fiddle, tt) give them a tune.
He knew just about as much of performing
on the violin as a common negro banjo
player does of the more difficult passages
of the Stabat Mater ; but his powers of imi
tation were great, and all the little prepara
tory preluding in the way of tuning, thumb
ing the strings and screwing the keys he
could do as well as Paganini himself.
The dancers were in ecstacies, the fid
dle was procured, and a cotillion set was
immediately formed on the floor. Capt.
H. was in no particular hurry, but contin
ued his flourishes in the way of tuning the
instrument for some time. Once or twice
he drew the bow scientifically across the
strings, which were now horribly out of
tune—flourishes which caused the eager
dancers immediately to commence'forward
ing’ across the floor—but the waggish cap
tain had no intention of giving them a
“send off” so suddenly.
At length, thinking he had infused a
sufficiency of the effervesence of dancing
into the eager set he drew the cork by giv.
ing every string on the violin a general
rake with the bow. Away they went like
mad, Capt. H. still sawing away, stamping
his right foot as if keeping time, and call
ing the figure. Never was there seen such
a dance. ‘Chassez,” cross over,’ ‘dos-a
dos,’ were called out by the captain, amid
a series of sounds from the punished violin
which would set a professor crazy; but so
full of dance were the head and foot couple
that they carried the thing through with as
much zeal as though they had been bitten
by Italian tarrantulas.
It may readily be supposed that the dan
cers bad but a limited knowledge of music;
but still they could tell, in their cooler mo
ments, a tune from a tornado. The first
two couple had by this time finished, and
the second had commenced, when one of
the former addressed his partner with:
‘Eliza, did you ever hear that tune he’s
apiayin afore?’
‘Can’t say that I ever has,” was the re
sponse, and this within hearing of Capt. H.
who was still punishing the violin as se
verely as ever.
‘Does it sound to you like much of a
tune, Eliza, any how?’—‘Well, it dosn’t.’
‘Nor to me either,’ said the first speaker,
who all the while had his head turned to
one side after the manner of a hog listen
ing.
‘Mv opinion is that feller there is natter
ally jest promiscuously and miscellaneous
ly sawin away without exactly knowin
what he’s a doin.’
This was too much for the captain, who
now dropped the violin and rushed from the
room and sought his quarters for the night.
Thus ended a ball in Eastern Texas. — N.

INDUSTRY AND ECONOMY.
The following anecdote which which we
found In an Eastern paper, while it excited
our risible propensities to a degree very a-,
larming to our neighbors, served at the
same time, to open our eyes to an entirely
new vjew of the advantage of an economi
cal display of house furniture.— Lou. Dai
1y Pennant.
A young man had just entered into busi
ness, and taken a partner —a lovely one for
life. - Happily she possessed the same prin
ciples and views as himself, ami they were
the only correct ones. The young man
had expended his little capital in the pur
chase of stock ; as he sold he supplied him
self with more, always paying as he pur
chased, and his purchases witli his business,
gradually increased ; by this course of con
duct he was very soon known, and his char
acter for integrity firmly established, al
though this was not an aim but a -conse
quence. At one time, when purchasing a
part of a small cargo of merchandize, for
which he had demand, he was prevailed
upon by the merchant to take the whole, on
a credit for a given time; the young man
was willing, but would give no security ;
the merchant would take his own notes
and the bargain was made. On the fol
lowing morning, however, yielding proba
bly to the natural doubt of commercial
transactions, the merchant desired his head
clerk to visit the young man’s house, and
see how they were provided for, and gather
if possible, from appearances, some idea of
the prospect of payment. At the house the
clerk found the young and lovely wife pre
paring the morning meal. Upon a clean
white board she was rolling out the cakes,
which being cooked and ready with other
things, the aforesaid board being now cov
ered with a neat cloth, were spread thereon
and the young couple seating themselves
opposite to each other, having the hoard be
tween them, supported upon their laps, pro
ceeded to discuss their breakfast. The
clerk did not make known the object of his
visit, but returning to his employer, quietly
informed him that it was “ all right.”—
‘ Ah, how d’ye know, what have you seen?’
‘Oh, I’ve seen enough to convince me
that you may safely credit him for ten times
the amount.” “Indeed, is it possible ?
What are the appearances then—how is
the furniture !” exclaimed the clerk with
enthusiasm; “ furniture, sir, why I would
not take $20,000 for the legs of their break
fast table.”
A Parting Speech. —The parting speech
of Mr. Dunn, the Speaker of the Maine
House of Representatives, in which he
wished his fellow-members of the House
“ a pleasant journey to the land of eternal
rest,” excites some comments from the
press. The Bangor Gazette infers that he
is a Millerite. The Portland Advertiser
thinks that in invoking a speedy departure
ofthe members to the shades, he should
have added a wish that “ their works shall
follow them.” Boston Journal.
