Feb, 18, ’69.
I’ve Ween 111 in king.
I’ve been thinking I’ve been thinking,
What a glorious world is this,
JDid folks mind their business more,
And mind their neighbois less;
For instance, you and I my friend,
Are sadly j>i«ne to talk
Os matters that concern us not,
And btlier follies mock.
I've been thinking, if we’d begin
To ini* and our ovwn nffafrs,
Thai poasjljlv our neighbors might .'
Contrive to manage theirs.
We ve faults enough at home to mend
It may he so with others;
It woifld seem strange if it were not.
Since all mankind are brothers.
Oh 1 would that we had charity
For every man and woman ;
Forgiveness is the mark of those
Who know “lo err is human.”
Then let (is banish jealbiWy—
Let’s lift onr fallen brother ;
And as w*e journey down life’s road,
l)o good to one another.
isolation of Manure**'
If is the gen* ml expert' i <•- of' cultiva
tors of the soil lhat sifter a series of very
heavy maiiuiings, the manures used being
of one kind, the < ffet seems to diminish, smd
a, ton of the same manure d*>es not pros
dnee the same effect in increasing l the crop
that it formerly did Although such a
• esult is not frequent in farm practice,
owing to the fact that manure is in general
applied to farm lands in jar too small pro
portion to allow of the soil’s getting tired
of it, yet•cases .a?e. on record where this
result has been produced. Guano, bom
dust, lime and ever farm-yards manure,
have sdl exhibited this peculiarity. Alder
man Meehi tells us that after a few years
his land refused to respond to guano to the
same extent that it had formerly done. The
limit to the action of bone dust is even
more quickly reached and more obvious;,
aid although farm-yard manure is probaljy
tluit which is h<;si entitled, to tb.e texm nni
veisai,yet even lands to which it ha,s been
tionntbjnliy npnlhd ;d<» sonno inu*s . eiu v<-
somtLug else. Tieit is hardly a city in
tin* country where gardens are not to be
found of which it is said that they have been
made'"too rich.
Various explanations have been given of
this fact. The well known explanation of
Liebig that, unh snail the elements required
by a plant are present tiie extent to which
the element -xising in smallest quantity is
present determines the l'esulting fertility)
has been pretty generally accepted, at
hgasi so far as the m >st important .elements
are eoncei ned. An attempt, has also been
made to explain it on the ground that whil.
an addilion of’ manure so poor land causes
very rnaikcd* results, the same amsunt ad
d and to rieh land does not produce a oorres-
I ondingiy proportionate improvement. '
But to whatever cause (he fact that we
have stated is due, it is certain that 'those
who have attained the greatest measure of
success, have ust'd various manures. 0m
of my neighbors, after dosing his garden
liberally with stable manure for years,
found hi • crops deteriorating. A resort to
I one dust and guano instead of stable mare
in remedied i.lie evil. Another ailqnaiui
aiio found his garden in the a.pne couduion
fi'-m the sarm* cause, and in his case a
liberal application of fresh soil worked a
spei dy cure.
Ii is not impossible that both
the land bad become “soggy,! and t uierel;>
,i quirtM aerai mg and pulverising, and his,
woirhl of 'course be best accomplished by
■ 9 l . ; » • i 'i .' •«•
ornitt.irrg the rjiaijure. At the same time
wt: are inclin'd to Iwlieve that the rotation or
alternation of manures deserves more at
tention than it has hitherto received.
We werC pleased to observe that the
views of Mr. Anderson, author of 'Garden
i g for Profit,*coincides with ours upon this
point. He says:
“In applying manures to the soil, we
have long ago discovered the great impor
tance of an alternation of different kinds.
When I first began business as a market
gardener, I had oppotunities of getting
large quantities of night soil from the scav
engers of Jersey city; this was mixed with
stable manure, charcoal, sawdust ’or any
other absorbent rn<#»t ej'vcnient* and appli
ed so mixed at the rate of about 30 tons per
acre. The crops fitised with . this
manure re enormous for two or three
years, but it gradually began to loose effect,
and in five years from the time we began
to u.*e-it, it required nearly double tin*
weight* of this compost to produce even an
average Crop. I then abandoned the use
of night soil and applied refuse hops instead,
at the rate of about 60 tons per acre yvitti
market improvements; but this was for the
first and second years only, the third year
showing a falling off. About this time our !

prejudices against4|ie use of concentrated
manures for tnarket gaiideniujf to
give way, and at first we applied guano
