Making Compost.
Making compost and making ma¬
nure are two different things, It
was once considered that only rotted
turf was compost, but farmers now
prepare compost from every availa¬
ble substance. What is best known
as compost on the majority of farms
at present is made by the mingling
©f manure with other mutter, tho
whole to be finally brought to a lino,
well-rotted state.
Barnyard manure, if dropped Into
a dollar, with the liquids flowing off
in another direction, would soon be¬
come tough and elastic, and a fork
could no more enter it than it could
a bale of cotton, but by mixing the
manure with an absorbent and mik¬
ing the nmss in the shape of a
mound, the volatile matters are re.
tnined, while the manure is more or
less disintegrated aud broken up.
The importance of utili sing the li¬
quids is nlso taken into considera¬
tion while making compost., as they
are not only absorbed but assist in
rotting the solids. Moisture being
almost absolutely essential to the
decomposition of tho heap, it is beat
to npply the liquids from ha stable.
Compost admits of the use of a large
amount of absorbent material, for,
along with tho syril and liquid ma¬
nures from tho stable, all tho duty
water, soapsuds and other refuxo
matter should bo added to it, noth¬
ing being omitted that is supposed
to contain fertilizing matter of any
kind.
Tho compost, as stated before,
should be very due. Long straw and
wholecorustnllis arc out of place in a
•ompo.st heap, but answer admirably
when passed through tho fodder
cutter aud well saturated with liquid
manure, which quickly rota theta
when so prepared. Such coarse IBtt
terinl belongs to the mnunro heap.
Leaves make an excellent absorbent
material, and oveu road dust is vul
ankle, not for its fertilizing qualities
•o much as for its power of absorb¬
ing and retaining liquids, llut oue
of tbe best ^materials from which to
make compost is marl, which is, pos¬
sibly, cheaper than anything else for
the puvpose, considering its chemi¬
cal value. As it is almost ns liuo as
dirt and easily handled and incorpo¬
rated with manure and other matter,
it not only assists in saving tho val¬
uable gaseous substances but adds
in itself fertilizing elements that are
often lacking m tbe manure to a cer
tain degree. Although uiarl contains
JlO ammonia, it contaius quite a fair
percentage of potash, phosphoric
acid aud lime, all of which, though
partially insoluble iu tho marl, arc
changed in condition by the chemi
cal . . of the
action compost heap.

To properly make the composi
Heap pat down a layer of marl, then
a layer of manure, then any
material that can be raked, scraped
and gathered np. Pour over it the
liquids, bat not too profusely,
they may soak through it,if the heap
is small, aud flow off. After the
lapse of a week mix the mass well
ogettier and place i it over a layer ,
marl. This »tha beginning of
gwneral heap and each successive
ditioo should be treated likewise— '

compost heap must never
ary, , i.i but should hi be protected . , , ,
ths sun and rain. If the whole maas
is •ecasionally worked over so much
the better. Just before applying it
to the soil it should be made very
fine, it required, and a little plaster
sprinkled through it while it is being
handled. Should mar! not be ob
tainable use dry eurlk instead. Do
not add lime to the heap at any time,
ner wood ashes, as these articles
may do more harm than good unless
the heap contains a large amount of
absorbent matter and is kept moist
all the timo.
The value of compost is largely
duo to its retention of that which is
commonly wabled ; its facility for be
iug hauled and spread by reason ol
being fine ; it* thorough decomposi
tiou without ‘fire-fanging,’ which
permits of its use on all crops and at
any time, and of its being a factory
within which a largo amount of in¬
soluble material cau be made avaiia
ble as plant food.

Folt the Situation.
A Gorman, farmer was on trial in
one ot the justice courts tho other
day for assault and battery and had
pleaded not guilty. When tho crosa
exaniination came the opposing coun
sel asked :
‘Now, Jacob, there was trouble be
tween you and tho plaintiff, wasn’t
there ?’
‘I oxpeet dere vh.is.’
‘Ha said something about your
dog being a sheep killer, and you re¬
sented it, oh ?’
‘VItell I culls him a liar.’
‘Exactly. Thou lie called you some
bard names ?’
‘Ho calls mo a sauer-kraqt Dutch¬
mans. ’
‘Just bo. That m ule you mad ?’
‘Oof course. I vims so mudt I
shake all ater.’
‘i thought, so. Now, Jacob, you
yen are a man who speaks tho truth.
1 don’t believe you could bo hired to
tell a lie.’
‘Veil, I pliel I vhas pooty honest.’
‘Of courso yon are—of course.
Now, Jacob, you must have struck
tho first blow. You seo--’
The oi lier lawyer objected, and af
ter the wrangle the defendant turn

Carrying out the suggestion made
i Ly the Bruzilian scioutist, Dr. Frit re,
who proved tho existence of yellow
fever germs in tho earth over the
graves of persons who had died ol
that disease, his government, bus or¬
dered the election of a crematory at
Jurujaba, where tho bodies of nil pa¬
tients who died of that disease at
the Marine Hospital of St. Isabel
will be burusd. It is not likely, bow
over, that cremation in such case
will become general, as tbe sensihil
itios of the people will revolt at tha
manner of disposing of tho dead. No
doubt science will discover some oth
means of destroying these germs or
adopt some kind of air light aud iu
lestructible burial case.
