Compost.
Thero is no subject of greater
importance to the farmer than com
post, and yet it is a rare thing that
you sec anything written about it,
and still rarer to find a farmer who
composts }>is manure The value
of coinposting your manure can
hardly be estimated ; for, how of
ten do you hear farmers say, that
tlio value of barnyard manure can
not be estimated ? How much
more so, then, is the expression
true of compost, which in reality
increases your manure fourfold.—
Or in other words, one load of man
ure composted is worth four loads
not composted. No one, no mat
ter how ignorant, can deny that
manure is constantly losing the
very best of its substance, which is
carried off in the shape of gases, in
the air, and the only thing that re
mains to bo proven is how much
goes off in the air, in tho course of
decomposition. ‘According to the
best of my knowledge, (after some
years of experience,) ono load of
manure composted, is equal to four
not composted. Some believers in
compost put it higher, There is
one thing about a compost heap
which I do not understand and can
not explain, l’rof. Johnson says,
a compost heap being made up of
several ingredients, when thorough
ly decomposed, the whole heap is
equal to the best ingredients. My
mode of composting is easy and ef
fective. I simply haul the tnanuro
when I want to use it, and cover
with twice as much earth as there
is manure, putting the manure in
rows, about three feet from the top
to the ground, which is sufficient
quantity to decompose rapidly, and
can bo spread without ro loading.
Compost manure should be used as
soon after it is made as possible,
and the better the manure tho bet
ter it pays to compo t. To me the
idea of a farmer buying fertilizers
and not composting bis manure is
absurd. 1 .know of a farm, one
half of which was given a coat of
compost, and thbav years after the
effect was plainly visible.—[Ex.
A Word j* Farmers
Never keep your entile short.—
You can’t afford i-t. If you starve
them they will starve you ; besides,
it is wicked. Be merciful to your
beast.
Never hoe a great field for a lit
tle crop, or mow twenty acres for
five loads of hay. You can’t af
ford it.
Enrich your land and it will pay
you richly.
Take care of your tools, spades,
shovels, rakes, hoes, pitchforks,
&c., &c ; keep them housed when
not in use.
Above adl things, cultivate your
heart as well as your soil ; “what
soever a man soweth that shall ho
also reap.”
Keep notes of remarkable events.
Never build a spacious barn till
you have something to put in it.
Good fences make good neigh
bors.
Cows fed well in the winter, give
more milk in summer.
Italy, it is calculated, produces
annually 750,000,000 gallons of
wine. Of this, reckoning the con
sumption of twenty-five gallons for
each person living in the country,
625,000,000 gallons would bo re
quired for home use, whilst 125,-
000,000 remained for exportation.

“Ma, can I go and bear the ne
gro serenaders to-night?”
“No, my dear, I cannot think
of lotting you go to such perform
ances.”
“Why, ma, everybody goes to
hear them ; they sing such comic
songs, and toll all sorts of funny
stories—you can’t help laughing
all the time. Ido wish you would
let me go.”
“You must not urge me Charley,
for I cannot throw away money on
fellows who go about disguised as
negroes, singing songs that have
no good tendency, and telling sto
ries that are not calculated to im
prove tho mind, but rather to do
.harm. And, more than that, Ido
not believe that any better class of
society visit these concorts.”
“Indeed, ma, then you are vrst
ly mistaken, for I heard Judge
Brown’s boys say they were there
witli their father and sisters, and 1
saw Mr. Jones, my Sabbath School
teacher, go in last evening; and I
was in the store to-day where they
Sell the tickets, and the minister of
tho Broad street Church came in
and purchased three or four, to
take his family.”
“Are you sure about what you
tell me, Charley ?”
“Yes, ma ; and Mr. Smith re
marked, when he sold the tickets,
that the concerts were attended by
fashionable audiences ”
“ Well, that alters it some ; you
may go and tell your sister Angel
ica to dress for the concert, and I
will accompany you; I believe
there is nothing but a prayer-meet
ing at our church to-night. We
must koep up with the fashion.”
The Jewish holiday, called the
Passover, commences on the 20th
and continues until the 27th of the
present month. It is the festival
of the Jews in commemoration of
their providential deliverance on
the night before their departure
from Egypt, when the destroying
angel, who put to death the first
born of the Egyptians passed over
the houses of the Hebrews, which
had been previously marked with
blood of the paschal lamb. It is
known as the feast of unleaven
bread.

Dr. J. Walker’s California
Vinegar Bitters are a purely Veg
etable preparation, made chiefly from
the native herbs found ou the lower
ranges of the Sierra Nevada mountains
of California, the medicinal properties
of which are extracted therefrom with
out the use of Alcohol. The question
is almost daily asked, “What is the
causo of tho unparalleled success of
Vinegar Bitters?” Our answer is,
that they remove the cause of disease,
and tho patient recovers his health.
They are thj great blood rurifler and
a life-giving principle, perfect Reno
