OJitUMC MAKL'KliS.
Tho fnllowfttg cone] visions tony bo re
garded as scientifically sustained, as
well as confirmed, by practical experi
ence ;
1. That fresh human tirinc yields ni
trogen in greater abundance to vegeta
tion than any other material of casy
acqnisition ; and that the nrjno of ani
mals is valuable for the same purpose,
but not equally so.
2. That Urt>fnix#d*xcremeiitoof man
aud animal* y<clii(lfeari*foll y preserved
from further decomposition.) not only
nitrogen, but other invaluable saline
aud earthy matters that have been al
ready extracted in food from tho soil.
3. That animal’ substances which,
like urine, flesh, and blood, decompose
rapidly, are fitted to operate immedi
ately and powerfully on vegetation.
-i. that dux ntumaL su osmiums, as
horn, hair, or woblen tags, decompose
slowly, and (weight for weight) con
tain a greater quantity of organized as
well as unorganized materials, mani
festing their influence it may be for
several seasons.
5. That bones, acting tike born, in so
Caras their animal matter is concerned,
and likeit for a number of seasons more
or less, according as they have been
more or less flnoiy crushed, may ameli
orate the soil by their earthy matter
for a long pefibd, (even if the jelly they
contain have necn injuriously removed
by the size maker), permanently im
proving the condition and adding to
the natural capabilities of the land.
lses or OCANO.
This manure is a powerful stimulant
to vegetable development generally ; it
is especially available iu raising wheat,
corn, potatoes, garden vegetables and
tobacco. If the land needs it, it may bo
put on as often as a crop is to be raised;
though not, it is said, as a top dressing.
For wheat, 150 to 200 lbs. of guauo may
be used to the acre: for Indian corn.
300 to 400 lbs., unless it is put directly
in the lulls, wheu 100 Jbs. per acre will
do. For potatoes. 300 to 400 lbs., in a
drill, with bone dust. The addition of
the latter makes the good effects of the
guano more durable.
MINERAL FERTILIZERS.
Simple lime, although au important
constituent of plants, is rarely suitable
as au application to them In its pure
slate. Carbonate of lime (represented
by elmlk, etx*.,) is n natural ingredient
in very many soils. The sulphate of
lime (gypsum, piaster .of Paris,) is often
used for fertilizing purposes. It is less
casHy decomposed than the carbonate.
The precise conditions which made it
most advantageous, are not positively
determined yet. Phosphate of lima is
a very important constituent of plants ;
and, as it exists also in the bones of
animals, a double relation follows:
namely, that it should be abundant in
soil on which plants are raised for food
of men and animals; arid, on the other
baud, tiutt animailiones contribute it fo
the soil when titty deauy upon it.
Wood ashes contain a large amount
of carbonate of potass*, with also the
• sulphate and nfteftat* of that alkali.
Peat ashes vary in different regions,
but always are found useful as manure.
k’nl h nr (lift nclxnu A f can tvnmlo aim
often employed in the same way ; they
contain soda in considerable amount.
Nitrite of potassa (nitre or saltpetre)
is said to quicken vegetable action
when added to the soil, and to give the
leaves a deeper green. A hundred
pounds to tlm acre of grass or young
corn, have been reported to produce a
beneficial effect, in localities far in
land. common salt, chloride of sodium,
is indispensable to the soil, although a
small amount of it will sutfloc. Ani
mal manures contain it. An excess of
salt will render land barren ; as was
well known to the ancients.
Music Schools.
Music schools are great institutions,
• Mr. Jiggers, known in public as Signor
Jiggers, got hold of a pupil last week
who was one horse and a hitch strap
ahead of him.
•‘What Is the voice?” asked Mr. Jig
gers.
“The compound extract of wind, ’
was the reply.
“What is music ?”
“An atmospheric banking institution
which never redeems the notes it is
sues.”
‘‘What are wind instruments?''
“Great blowers.”
“Name n few of them.”
“Bugles, sensation preachers. French
horns, trombones, politicians. Gotham
ites, Englishmen, clarionets and daily
papers.”
“What are musical bars for?”
“To make a division of measures.—
At some bars three lingers are counted
as a fair measure for a hokv.
Jiggers put the new pupil down for
A sharp," who could B flat under any
circumstances.
