and 



matter su highly im|iortant to health ant) comfort 

 the contents can be easily and without inconvenience 

 transferred to the common reccplable. Or else, which 

 is by no means a bad plan, but in many cases highly eli- 

 gible, let your privies be conslrucied in some corner of 

 your'barn or at the. side of your bain, so that the depos- 

 its may go at once into the barn cellar. Next carefully 

 save all your dish water, al 1 your s..ap suds, all the emp- 

 tyings of your chambers, all the water in which your 

 hogs°are killed; at.d indeed every thing of this sort ; 

 and let that go either by some tight drain directly into 

 your manure cellar, or else regularly and scrupulously 

 save it in tight barrels or tubs, and when these are full 

 cause them to be carefully emptied upon your manure 

 heap. Ne.xt go to the places in your pastures where 

 your cattle are accustomed to collect either for shade or 

 repose and carefully and frequently remove to your barn 

 cellar all the deposits, nhich are accumulated here.— 

 Then go into the roads and highways and daily collect 

 every thing of this sort, which may be found, as much 

 as you would go into the road to pick up money, if you 

 had known that money had been dropped there. The 

 amount which may be accumulated in this way you will 

 find at the close of the season vastly to exceed your ex- 

 pectations ; and most amply to compensate the trouble 

 or expense, which it may occasion. 



U e shall reserve our f.irther observations on this sub- 

 ject until another number. We do not profess to offer 

 any thing new or to have any thin^f new to offer on this 

 homely subject; but we may at least hope that some 

 plain suggestions will at least put our farmers upon in- 

 quiry whether there are not sources of supply within 

 their r.ach, which they may have hitherto partially 

 overlooked; and whether the continual complaints 

 which we hear every where i]f the want of manure and 

 the difficulty of procuring it may not be in some meas- 

 ure attributable to their own fault or neglect.
