Stable Manure.
Side Cropa
While a fanner may look to his cot
ton aud corn for the bulk of returits
for his farming efforts there are n
score of other employments (or the
use of other crops) that may be made
to supplement his income very decid
edly, and from which he may derive
naan receipts at a different time from
that brought In by his crops. Cotton
and corn afford their returns toward
the close of the year. Crain is ready
for market early in the summer. Hay
early in the fall and until the close of
the year. Various other crops there
are that can be made.to fill out a com
plete oircle of the months.
In choosing one or more of these
side employments a farmer is likely to
follow his fancy of adding something
a little more pleasant, and admitting
possibly of much greater profit in pro
portion to the amount of work than
that to be expected from his crop of
cotton or corn or the like.
As the country becomes more thick
ly settled and railroads permeate eve
ry corner of the laud and our public
highways be so improved that our
farmers can move at all seasons the
heaviest loads of farm products to the
surrrouuding markets, there will he
few farmers of any intelligence who
will be satisfied with the incoming of
cash just at one season of the year
und no more. What will he possible
and practicable twenty or thirty years
from now owing to increased popula
tion and improved transportation fa
cilities aud multiplied markets may
not be possible now (is not in fact),
but by degrees as an increased de
mand for various foods is exhibited
farmers will be led into giving more
intelligent Attention to special plants
as side matters to their general farm
ing. Home will choose one thing and
some another. Whether the basis of
farming be pastural or agricultural
it will be set off with one or more side
ventures that will be looked to to
bring in periodical returns of cash, as
well as tend to the support of the fam
ily.
Some will choose eggs; others poul
try, or both combined; others bees;
some butter; others beef; some cab
bages; others onions; some strawber
ries; others grapes; some a variety of
fruits and vegetables, according as
they may be favorably situated iures
pect to soil and murket. The whole
list of food matters, vegetable and an
imal, might be enqgnerated, each and
all of which will receive from the cul
tivator special attention. It will be
here as fully exemplified as it is in the
old world, where cultivators make
a living by growing the pansy or hya
cinth or crocus. Even in this country
row near the large centers men make
specialties of asparagus, celery, straw-
tie ries, potatoes aud the like, and de
rive an abundant.support from their
exclusive culture. This will gradual
ly etxeud all over this broad country,
spreading aa population spreads.
It is common enough in the south
now for farmers near tile lur.t cili.t
end towns to have their few hci » of
melons and watermelons, an acre or
so of Irish potatoes, or on'Olis. or cab
bages, or greeu corn, or tomatoes.
Home derive a helpful addition totheir
yearly income by regular sales of but
ter, pork, mutton or beef, and other
articles that might, he named.
Further away from the cities or bet
ter markets we find one making a side
crop of htiv, another sugar cane, an
other ground peas, another apples
and so on.
Every small farmer should study
how best he can make some side crop
pay him at best half as much as his
staple crops, aud yield him a vernal
or early summer return of cash, and
thus enable him to avoid the ruinous
practice of going into debt so much
lor the necessary expenditures of that
season.
A farmer who confines himself to
the platting of cotton and corn fol
lows tne most uninteresting system
of farming that could be well devised.
He has only one harvest, and handles
his cash but a little while at one sea
son.
It is true a farmer can do only bo much
iu a year. He cau expend only so
many “foot-pounds’' of muscular
effort in the agricultural year. Yet it
is well to remember that oftentimes a
well-chosen “side crop” of one acre
will yield as much money as three or
four of cotton, aud a lialf dozen or
more of corn. Let him be on the
alert to choose one that will make him
the most money, regulating his choice
of course according to the nature of
his soil, market and surroundings.
Southern farming will be satisfactory
just in proportion to the diversity
practiced. Special farming has brought
very general depression everywhere.—

Economy in the use of stable ma
nure demands that It should be liau-
dled only once. For certain purpose*
in garden culture it is desirable to
make up some of the best of it into
good compost; but as a rule the bulk
of such manure sltopld be hauled out
and applied either broadcast or with
furrows late in the fall. Broadcast
application is the best, but as there
are some crops that do weil on such
manure when applied in the furrow,
it may be made to go further in the
way of making a first crop by put
ting it iu the drill. But for ordinary
farm crops—cotton, corn aud oats—
broadcasting is usually to be recom
mended. In proportion to Its bulk
it may be esteemed a very weak fer
tilizer compared with most manurial
substances, and it may be a very ex
travagant form of manure to use if It
had to be purchased and hauled any
great distauce. But when made on
the farm, and coming as a waste pro
duct nfter having supplied animal
force it cannot be considered as cost
ing beyond the expense of applying It
to the luuj. We should not under
rate its value as a fertilizer, neither
should we exaggerate it.
Tlie composition of stable innnure
varies, so only an approximation can
be made of the several valuable ele
ments applied in a ton of it.
It* depends upon the nature of
the food whether it is inferior or of
first quality, and much depends upon
the manner of preparing it.
Two thousand pounds of fresh
horse manure contains of the three
valuable elements as follows:*
Nitrogen 10to 14 pounds
Phosphoric acid 4 to 12 “
Potash 10*o 13 “
Total value elements..24 to 39 “
This is contained in 400 pounds of
vegetable matter after 1,400 pounds of
water has been evaporated.
Manure that has been made from
horses that were not well supplied
with grain food, or the manure not
well protected will not analyze
high as the above lowest figures-.
Doubtless very little ever ranges
above the highest given.
With ammonia at 12J cents per
pound, phosphoric acid at 6 cents, and
potash at 4 cents, a ton of stable ma
nure represented by 7 would be
worth $1.89. In round numbers call
it $2.
It is very evident that except for
special uses in the garden, it would
not pay to buy it at any distance off
and iiaul it.
Out of just so much stock necessary
to carry on ttie farm operations it
would be impossible for any farmer
to make one-twentieth of the manure
that he could use to advantage on his
farm. Those who combine farming
with dairying are better situated in
this respect.
For some purposes in the market
gradens near the cities 1 first-class
stable manure could be used with
profit, even at $4 to $5 per ton if it
could not be bad any cheaper, but
this would not hold good for any of
the ordinary farm crops. Outside of
the contents of valuable elements of
plant food the 400 pounds of organic
matter lias sou e value in its quality
aa a mulch and as a receptacle for car
bonic acid. The money value of this
in not calculable, however. Hofli the
Solid and liquid excrement should be
carefully saved on every farm. Our
abundant pine straw affords every
facility for saving it in the best man
ner.—S. A. C. in Sav. News.

From the World,
It is said, by those familiar with his
daily' habits, that Jay Gould doesn't
taste a glass of champagne from one
year's end to the other, and that his
favorite tipple is tnilk well aerated
with vichy, to neutralize the bilious
tendencies of the lactic acid. William
Waldorf Astor and John Jacob Astor,
Jr., both drink dry' champugne. The
Vanderbilts are temperate, but buy
all kinds of rare wines, from a comet
claret to a rare Marcobunner, and
Willie K. likes his champagne as well
as the next mau. John W. Mackay,
who has been in New York for a few
days, is as abstemious as ever, and
rarely drinks champagne. But his
capabilities in the choice of wines for
one of those magnificent dinners Ins
friends know so well are highly admir
ed by experts. Henry Vilard is fond
of cabbage, und, naturally enough,
drinks beer with it, but soda is his
regular tipple. Gen. Sherman likes
f ood whisky, in moderation. Russell
age drinks enough coffee every week
to lloat himself in, and George 1. Sen-
ey is almost as fond of tea.
