.v; FARMYARD MANURE. Mr. H. B. M. Buchanan, M.A., writes to the Mart Lane Express."—As all practical farmers know, there 1-s a farmyard manure and farm- yard in <i e Ti«c r '-laoa.r made ( I ( .l.'i i \"1\ wj•• L. 11<Jui>ithe heap of Manure made on another farm, aithough the heaps may be of 'he same stze and weight. The agricu'i.ural chemist report. aim the Yield of me crops thems-elve-s have conclusively Proved that a heap of manure which has been widely aull loosely spread over a wide art a, aud stacked un a &oft foundation, so that the rain; win wa.-h through it, will in a few friouu; not be wen-:h half the value of a heap of manure which has beea compac iy racked over a narrow area, a..id oa an impervious f'mnda'iou. This latter heap .of manure iurrir. r he made more valuable for the grow h (!■" profitable crops if from time to time, as j.

Ml' I: a it" (!> 1 1 1 J r ¡: t''¡ !lV"r h. either kainit ur gypsum. known tl, plasfvr u par: Some carefully condacted field experiments have out the accuracy of this statement. Lard ihit had been manured with the well-made and skilfully preserved manure grew three times the quantity of potatoes, and three times the quant ty of wheat over land that hal been manured farmyard dung which had been made and treated aftea" the ave\agj siodenly farming methods It therefore comes to this, that with care and skill a farmer can make a ton of well-made and skilfu!; y.pnservecl manure do more than double tii3 work of a ton of manure that has made in a slovenly and unscientific manner. If a farmyard manure heap is built in shape af; or the maimer of a tack, and well com Pressed together, and if it is built over a nar- row area and on an impervious foundation, and the farm buildings around it a:e spouted so that the water from the building- does not wash through the bottom of the manure heap, and if the bulk i.s applied to the' land, say. every three of four mouths, in that case the loss of nianurial value will be very Blight, and will not. be cf much practical moment. It'i: an open question as to whether it. is best to plough under the manure directly it is carted on to a-i arable field, or to spread b over the surface of the land, and then to plough, it under later en. IlMpei inter:" s. on the whole, favour t)iT>■ ■ >i.i Jlii:-LT 11' ,,1' IMIVTICC at i ■ • i 1 • ,I:' ¡t!i ::g ti, c. m &>m:v in Ji'-atv in the tie id, and then letting i: remain for "Ine time wi lioro sp;ead- ing it, as is often done, causes a loss of manur- ial value and forces the corn crops and meadow grass to grow in a veiy uneven manner. THE WASTE OF LIQUID MANURE. The greatest loss probably in the manurial value made on a farm is from the loss of liquid voided by the animals when tied up in their houses, and which is allowed to run to waste down drains and ditches. It has been ascertained that each cow when tied up voids from 2;000 to 3,000 gallons of urine per annum, and it has been further cal- culated that 1,000 gallons of cow's urine, if applied skilfully to gl'a,<: land. would have the same beneficial effect as would be obtained from the application of 2 cwt. of the best Peruvian guano, and if the 1,000 gallons were applied to turnip lanu, it would have a more hPIldieial effect than would be obtaiatd from the application of twen'y loads of good farm- yard manure. Supposing, therefore, a farmer m Iks a herd of fifty cows, by letting iheir urine run to Waste he practically, in course of a year, loses the benefit of 3 tons of ni'rate of soda or 5 toiiis of guano or 2.000 cartloads of the best farm- .Vard m aniline. That yearly loss would pay a good interest on a liquid manure tank, a chain Pump, a cart for sprinkling the liquid over the grass land, and also the extra cost of the labour thai the most profitable disposal of the liqUd email. If a manure harp has been skilfuJly treated AND applied every TWO or th ce montiv to the la,id, the liquid which diaius from it, aeeord- ing to fnalysis, eariie- away an insignificant a'iiount of useful in-inure. It is not advisable to drain the I quid running tank, for this r^a-"u:—Wh'oi a heavy fad of rain occurs, it will -■ MHI t il wiih a quantity uf rain liquid in which tho m um-rial v'dnp is eooipara1 :\i'ly sti.o'o. is best, thet'efo-e V' d erect the ran; wash- ings from the heap into the di aids, and ta? liquid from the houses into the tank. By this p!an the liquid in the tank would consist of a rich, undiluted, nitrogenous manure, immedi- ately available for the crops, and when skilfully diluted and applied to the land is as stimulat- ing and as feeding as a dressing of nttrado of soda. This concentrated nitrogenous liquid manure if it is not to over-stimulate and so cause the °rops to which it is applied to grow rank, must be skilfully diluted before it is used. The Jot- ,,< Y fanners preserve and apply to their land every drop of the liquid manure made on their they mostly .-prinkle i over their pas- and hay lands when it is raioincr. Tilp m:' hod i)f ajiplying the liquid manure when rain i:: failing not. only sui aVy f-lilu-(, it, but washes it down at once within the range of the roots of plants, so that the plants ea;1 immedi- ately avail themselves of this valuable food. It ;s, therefore, best to use liquid manurt in the spring as a top dressing after the principle as nitrate of soda. Liquid manure is especially valuable to backward crops in a (-old. inclement, spring, and it is more t-uitable fo" "light" than for "heavy" sods. CLOVER AS A FERTTLSER. For most so'ls the p oughiue of a clover ley has been a most economical method of storing expensive nitio £ 'nous food in the soil for use uf future crops. This storing of nitrogenous f(,L'll i- complished by the li:t:e bacteria govTns v !ii<-b :-trach t to the roots of the clover, < :d in c-i.'tiu' mysterious manner cotrvert the atmospher c nitrogen circulating between the soil particles in'o nitrogenous food suitable for succeeding crops (especially suitable for the whea* and oat crop to take up). During the autumn months, when a clover crop is in possession of the ground, it helps to retain plant food in the soil which ni ght other- wise be washed away by the rains, and further it retains 3., great deal of fertilising material brought down by rain and snow, much of which, but for the clover root, would be lost- Clover also supplies the sol with a addition of humus, which makes the surface do.< -.er and more inflow, and adds 1J its power of retaining mois'un. The humus resulting from the decay of 1 >, clover root adds material in which the mmme germs of soil life can thrive, mulCplv, atm carry on with vigour their unseen bul an- imoorta-it work. TO SAYI; SOIL FERTILITY. Tlx re are several things the farmer must tak n ;n o consideration when he sets about to i how to inainti-.in h • y h s --o Tie- s. what to .-ai:;e and wh:i< ■ «o rai- what to sell from !Ii? farm and u hat not sell. There are s-one crops that require less fertility than other crops, and still bring the f t oner as much ujoney.

To p 'oduce an acre of wheat it requires no less than- iP.2 worth of fetrilhy. arc! to sell £ 100 worth of wheat and burn the straw in the stack, as is done by some, would mean a loss to the soil of no less than £50 worth of fertility, while if £100' worth of butter is old from the farm no more than 10s. worth of fertility is taken to market with the bulte-r. If £100 worth of fat cattle are sold, the amount of fertil'ty removed will, of course, be more than that by the butter, but in no case will it be as great as that removed by the grains.

RURAL, LTFE. BY A SON OF THE SOIL. THE FUCHSIA. There can be no doubt about the Fuchsia be- ing one of the most graceful as well as the most useful of flowering plants, and it is so easily thrown that no garden should be without it. As :s well known, the Fuchsia grows wild in certain narts of the West. I having seen it in the Forest of Dean but. although better known as a greenhouse plant, it is. I should think, the most popular of ail with the window gardener. It v crown tlrl floworod as a small table •• o-i".Ah po'. and ¡lS sp-ciinens from hivh hdf as Lll.d1 through THE FUCHSIA. co fill large conservatories. It is propngnted by cuttings, winch may be inserted at any time; but the early spring months are best, if a hot- bed or forcing-house is available. The cuttings are obtained by placing the old plants in heat early in the year, and when the growths are hree or four inches long they can be taken off. About, nino cuttings may be put in a four-inch )ot. and when they are rooted pot them off in small pots, using" good loam with a iittle rovt.on manure, leaf-mould, and sand. As soon as tho plants have staffed to grow they must be turned out of the po*-s. tho old roots and a rsvt'.on of j the soil should '"e removed, re-potting tiu> plants in pots rather smaller than they wen; growing j in: after tin. r'pot int" ih(. tio" sire, and give liquid nanure w! o;>v<>r th" no's arc well filled with! root*.

First of all, I am very glad one good man, Mr. Campb -11, of the City Temple, has come forward so pluckily to speak the truth: the truth which has been hidden through tin ages under the heap of papacy, pii-cstcraft, orthodoxy, m n.s erial pride, and superstition.

Again, with ,-egard to the sacrifice of Christ. It, has been stuffed upon the Church tb swallow the hlea tlui; it was an atonement for the sins of the world; suffering instead of humanity to appease ths wrath of God. Now Jesus himself never taught, such a foolish doctrine. He simply revealed God as a merciful and loving Father, and showed His disciples the way 01 life. He plainly told His followers they were to suffer and sacrifice as He did. Therefore, if it wero true that Christ suffered on our behalf, it would have resulted that H, F. followers were free from it. But !he stern facts of cverv-day life prove tho contrary. Everybody, no ma:i- r what, lie ,believes, hat^ to suffer. I say th< -se that go forth for Christ to preach in His name have to suffer the most. We should naturally expect something to be derived from the atone- m -nt to spare these good men, but. instead, f oni tho lime of the Apostles till now, Hi- diseip'es were peiv-iceufed, crucified, CUT witli tho svroid, and burned to ashe«. Willi regard to e-'ernal pun shuienh While there is sin punishment- is naturally inevitable, but to say that a man is personally eternal1 y punished is absurd and abhorrent. Are w foolish enough to believe that a man has less freedom in another world than in this? Here he has the freedom to repent and change hjs path; here he is free to hate the bad and love tho good, to develop from his wicked ways to the way of life. But there, we are told, man it- at a full stop. \hy don't they say that a man if. a.t a full slop when he is born into this "r)rirl? Because the fact that he develops is too evident.. He is born, we are told, a sinner, and many believe that he is lost unless he is baptised. Well, now being born thus into this world, God has provided him with the pos.-i- biiities of development. And I believe if man is to exist, heieafteir that he is to develop for ever, as we shall ever be under the ru!e of the same God. I do not. deny punishment. If we abuse our bodies we are punished. If we disregard the laws of health and comfort we have to suffer. If we break the moral laws conscience within us punishes us, but as time passes away, with repentance for it, it. is forgotten and forgiven. Yet, I admit it is possible to commit a tun that will punish a man for a great pant of I eternity, but-, however long he may romomb. i the sin, it is quite evident that. God does not punish; the man does it himself by breaking tho laws of God. Nature is at hand to deter- mine that question if anyone disbelieves it. 1 Sineer-ely hope that all my fellow-labourers | everywhere will v. is-dv search for the truth, read it in nature, ai.-d UJ.-O in the g 'eat sermons of Christ.

AN OrTDOOR BTIOODEn. the back part or brooding chamber, and the front part or feeding and exercise-room, are well ligiutd, and if the weather is extra severe, day or night, the runway connecting with the front part may be closed, thus confining all the heat to the rear apartment where the chicks are brooded under the circular hover, with its heavy fringed curtain. During the daytime this run- way is let down, and the chicks may run back and forth at will, a heavy woollen curtain being provided, which retai.s most of the heat in the rear part of the brooder, thus giving them tiiree dulerent temperatures-—one, the warmest, under the circular hover; another, some eight to ten degrees cooler, in the rear apartment, out- side the hover; ard another, still cooler by several dagrees, in the front apartment.

We have to spend this money. Why should it not lie spent in this district? It is the age for economy. Do you consider h economy to allow this sum of money to leave This part, of Kent, when it codl. a"d should, be kept and divided among you' Money saved is money gained it is tnlp. nor money not made when opportunity offers is the gros-e-t extravagance..
