LIQUID MANURE.
It is geneially believed that no system
of enriching lands for small gardens,
with a view of perfection of crops is so
truly economical and so easily available
ns that of liquid manure. We occasion¬
ally hear of a gardener, or an amateur enrich¬
fruit grower, who has practiced
ing the crop by liquid manure, but it is
not a common praciice so to enrich our
gardens and lawns, however often the
advocacy of the practice has been writ
ten. The writer practiced the sprink
ling of a lawn in a dry season with weak
liquid manui e water, and in the greatest
ol heat and drought has kept it fresh
and green. In the management of pot
plants, no course of supplying food equals
that of a judicious use of liquid manure.
There ave in almost evevy family waste
liquids, which usually go into a sewer or
drains, or possibly upon the road, where
they are of no avail, but if saved by be¬
ing conducted to a tank, along with wash
waters of the house, would enrich an en
tire garden for vegetables and fruits,
flower borders, etc., and the whole, if
the wash be applied regularly,and at night
after sunset, in moderate quantities*
would prevent the driest weather of mid¬
summer from checking vegetation. If
an unpleasant odor comes from the tank,
a little plaster (gypsum) spinkled iu and
around the tank, would keep it sweet
and clean. Again, the use of liquid ma¬
nure need never delay planting because
of manure not being ou hir.d, but plant
ing could proceed and the application of
manuro be made at leisure,— American

MILK INSTEAD OF SOAP.
A lady writing to the New York Times
says:
Without giving any recipes for mak¬
ing soap, I wish to tell all lhe hard"*
worked farmers’ wives l>£W much labor
they may save by not using such vas»
quantities of this article. For nearly
five years, I have used soap on y for
washing clothes. In all that time I have
not used one pound cf soap for washing
dishes and other kitchen purposes. ’My
family has ranged from three to twenty
five. I have used cistern water, lime¬
stone water, as hard as possible, and hard
water composed of other ingredients be¬
sides lime, and I find, with all these, my
plan works equally well. It is this—
Have your water quite hot, and add a
very little milk to it. This softens the
water, gives the dishes a fine gloss, and
preserves the hands ; it removes the
greas°, even that- of beef, and yet no
grease is found floatiug on the wa ! er as
when soap is used. The stone vessels I
always set on the stove with m little water
in them when the victuals are taken from
them ; thus they are hot when I am
ready to wash them, and the grease is
easily removed. I find that my tinware
keeps bright longer, when cleaned iu
this way, than by using soap or scouring.
Value oh MrN-;r.AL Substances to
Plants.—T he inorganic or mineral con-
8 ! ituent9 of plants, though small in quan¬
tity when compared with the organic
part, are nevertheless essential, and must
be considered just as indispensab'e for
then* growth as arc carbonic acid, ammo
nia and water. In a mixture containing
all the various substances requisite for
the nonushinent ot plants, except silicic
acid, oat plants remained low, pale and
dwarfish ; without lime they died after
the second leaf; without potash and so¬
da, they reached only a height of three
inches ; without magnesia, they remain¬
ed weak and lying down ; without phos¬
phoric and sulphuric acid, very weak and
without fruit, but upright and of normal
condiiion ; without iron they remained
very pale, weak and badly formed ; and
without manganese, they did not reach
their full strength, and showed but a few
flowers. Soda could not substitute pot¬
ash in relation to the strength of the
plants; magnesia could not supply the
p ace of lime. When, however, all the
mineral substances which vegetable life
were present in their due proportion, the
oit plant reached a complete and pretty
luxnrient development, even with an en¬
tire absence of Humus, or any vegetable
substance in the experimental mixture.
It is just as impossible for a horse to
work and thrive on poor food as it is for
a sheep to grow fat, or a cow to yield
rich milk, on the same. The stomach of
a horse differs materially from that of an
ox, and requires richer and more concen¬
trated food ; yet, as it commonly digests
a definite amount of food in a givep lime
extra foid does not, beyond a certain
limit, compensate for extra work.

WHAT IS BIGH FARMING f
An American farmer of note, after vis¬
iting England and examining, with the
critical eye cf a practical and experienced
agric ilturifct, the system pursued there,
says s
I am thoroughly confirmed in my old
faith that the only good farmer of our
future is to be the ‘high farmer.’ There
is a widely prevailing antipathy among
the commcn farmers of our country
agsinst not only the practice of high
farming, but against the nse of the phrase
by agricultural writers. This is all wrong
and should at once be corrected. Through
some misconception of the meaning ot
the phrase, and also of its application,
they have come to believe it synonymous
with theoretical ‘book farming,’ ‘new
fancied notions,’ boasted progress follow¬
ed by disappointment and failure, Tlvs
is all en error. High farming means
thorough cultivation, liberal manuring,
bountiful crops, good stock, good feed,
and paying profits therefrom. It is not
strange t hat misconceptions bawe arisen
in the minds of doubting farmers who
have been’ eye witnesses to some of the
spread-eagle experiments of enthusiastic
farmers, better supplied with money ob^
tained by a business they know how to
manage than with practical experience
on a farm. Bountiful crops and paying
profits of course, are what all farmers
who are depending upon the farm for an
income are striving to obtain ; and every
year as it passeth is reconfirming the
opinion that the profits are small, and
will grow beautifully less, where high
farming is not practiced .—Southern
Jf armer and Planter.
MAKING A LIVING.
‘What is a living V ‘Enough, and
st me forgiving.’ The average American
citizen is about a good liver, though it
might be hetrodoxieal at the first blush.
Youth is usually buoyant and hopeful,
and after bis scholastic period is past is
for enjoying society and the pleasures of
life. He sees things here and there gay
and festive, and ever and anon, builds
airy castles and -dreams of stars, garters
and diadems,’ hears of one and another
having made fortunes, and resolves to do
so too. In looking around to choose a
vocation, before making a choice, to a
city he must go, to try his fortune, and
finds scores there on the lookout, and
more applicants than places. Ou his re
turn thinks of running a farm. Bis
means are not quite sufficient to pay for
everything needed, but hypothecates a
loan. Thinking he could farinas well as
others, if not better, he begins experi¬
menting variously. His want of skill
and untoward seasons break in on his
plans and lie goes out at the little end of
the horn, proclaiming that farming is not
the thing it is cracked up to be, and his
properly goes into the hands of a receive
er. In I lie meantime, another starts with
the same means, but on another princi¬
ple ; he hires with a good iarraer and
puls his money at interest. In a few
years he has learned the business and
made wages, and his money worked for
him. Y/lien he commenced he had tin.
means and the -experience. Expe; ience
is a good teacher and industry usually
thrives; with them success is inevitable
Work will secure a living, not only in
farming, but in everything else. The
reason some men are more successful in
business than others, is greater mental
capacity. They can plan betlcr and use
their means to better advantage. While
one makes and saves, another squanders.
To make a living should be the first con¬
sideration. In trying to do it, and to be
come independent, there is necessity for
economy in its broadest sense. Fortunes
seldom come at once, but by degrees.—
If many fail, all need not. None should
ever be satisfied with less than a living.
The foundation ot independence is effort,
and the bread a man earns is sweet. His
situation is immeasurably above the loaf¬
er. Every one is willing to assist him
who makes a living. The world is wide
enough for everyone to flourish in. Some
places are so crowded that work cannot
be obtained for all. Perhaps some ten
or twenly miles oft, labor is in demand
All know more or less labor is required
everywhere, in the old states or the new.
