MANAGEMENT OF MANURE OR
COMPOST HEAPS.
As the collection of manure is admitted
o;1 all hands 'o be the prime source of ag
ricultural prosperity, I submit the follow
ing, on the management of certain matters,
with a view to that subject:
The first thing; to be attended to is, the
selection ot a suitable spot for a manure
heap This should be on the top of some
rising ground, or on a ground at least so
level that there can be no run of water to
and from it in case ot violent rains. A
true regard to economy, will also suggest
that.it should he pi iced on some field for
which benefit it is mainly intended.
Having marked out the ground siy 25
feet by 16, or any other dimensions suita-
ble to your means, sink stakes three or ' ficiently decaj-ed to break up finely, to
four inches in diameter, two feet below j gethcr with the scrapings from beneath
the surface of the ground, and rising toand around them, should from time to
any convenient height above, at each time be added in sufficient quantities to
corner, and at proper distances along the keep all dry and comfortable. A little
side and ends. Now collect from the1 shelled corn thrown into the stalls and
wood, sufficient leaf mould or rich virgin pens, will induce the hogs to root, and
soil to cover the whole space inclosed, one mix up the whole together, in the best
foot deep, laying old rails, or any other manner, at no cost. When the accumula
material at hind fit for the purpose, along tion has become too great for convenience,
the inside of the stakes, as the mould rises, let it be taken out and put upon the pile,
to confine it within its place Next, lake as above directed. Before the animals ar
from the stalls of your animals, (the way again put in, throw mould, as at first, or
of managing which, will presently be any material fitted to absorb and retain
given.) as much manure as will cover this the urine and juices, to the depth of one
mound, all over equally, to the depth of foot. From this it will be seen that no
one foot, except the sides and ends which manure goes into the pile in a state tend
shouM invariably be mould only for at ing to waste. When required for use, the
least six inches from the rails, by which pile is cut down perpendicular, as evenly
means it will be perceived that the rich as possible, in order to pulverise it well,
and enriclvng material will be so cased up and make the whole mixture equal
as to prevent the escape of the gases. The writer has now pursued the dan to

So fatally to himself, as in lhe system of

animals, very much as with regard to a-

when in nine cases out of ten, every indi-
vidua! acquisition is a positive and mate-

cient exercise. In very cold weather, lowed up, it will add to the value of land-
they should be let out only to get water,
and then immediately put up again. This
is the wr' s own rule, and he finds it -(
works well in every case, except in re-j
gard to hogs, which, for some reason, do
not appear to bear confinement in the day
time, in this climate. This practice is
rare at the south. If there is another in
stance of it in North Carolina, he is not
aware of it. The advantages of it, how
ever, are obvious, and sooner or later it
will be adopted by all.
Into the stalls of these animals, before
they arc allowed to enter, mould should
be thrown to the depth of one foot. As
soon as this has become saturated, a mix
