Remarks by the FJilor. — We hope our corres- 

 pondi'nt will not set iis nboul perforiiii.u; all tht- 

 Jabours of Herculi'* ; thoiifjh ho enjoins ftpon 

 us 'omothing very like one ot'thpni, to wit, the 

 .exploit of cleans ng- the Augean siai'lc We have 

 frequently inveiglied a^niust the iincleanliiiess of 

 sundry ho'-bindmen and hoiisewivos, whose 

 premises in;iy be smelt almost as f.ir ;!s they can 

 be seen. We have no ilonbt but that (be efflu- 

 via which arises from animn! :ind vegetable sub- 

 stances ii' a state of piitrescencr, is the (iiinci- 

 pa! cause of many of (he nmsl deadly diseases, 

 to nhich ll.'e human frame is liable. But ma- 

 nure, the main spring of Agriculture, is princi- 

 pally derived from those substances ; and it is 

 not only correct, but absolutely necessary, that 

 the most olTcnsive matters s'aould be removed 

 from their rec?]itacles in (own or country, and 

 spread on the (ield of the farmer. But this may 

 be done without poisoning the element which 

 gives breath to all animated beings. The ex- 

 halations which are so dangerous as well as dis- 

 srgri'calde, may be absorbed by quick lime or 

 fresh earih. In loading manure carls with ot"- 

 fen«ive ma'.tcr, a small qnanlity of hot lime sift- 

 ed over the foetid rub:ii>:h, before it is removed, 

 and a little n)oro applied now and then to each 

 layer, as it is dcposiicd in the cart, would add 

 to the value of the manure, and remkr it inno.\- 

 i'liis as well as inaQoasive. For want of lime, 

 fresh earth should be used in a similar way, 

 hut in larger quantities. In the country, it will 

 be found very practicable, if people will but set 

 themselves about it, to mix fresh earth with 

 ifecaying vegetable and animal bodies, night- 

 -soii, &.C. at such seasons, and in such manner 

 and quantity as lo preserve health, and not of- 

 fend ihe senses. In cities, quick lime will be 

 found most eligible for similar tuupose=. as it is 

 more powerfully antiscfitic than any other sub- 

 stance, in pro[(ortion lo its bulk, price, and the 

 convenience with which it may be applied.
