(fcjCourt has come and passed, and wp
have had no meeting to appoint Deleo-;,
to the Nashville Convention. The reason
of this is, we presume, that there has been
no general demonstration in favor of
Convention in the other counties in the
district; had there been, we have no doubt.
as we have said before, that Warren would
have joined. So far as we have heard.
there have been meetings held in but two
counties, Johnston and Wake, consentient-
ly, we think there will be no effort at a
district Convention at all. '

AGRiCUITiJRAfja
ON MANURES.
The Following is taken from Prof. Nor
ton's work, entitled "Elements of Scienti
fic Agriculture" high authority:
"The manure of various domestic ani
mals is, in this country, most commonly
employed as a fertilizer, all other manures
being used in comparatively small quantities-
and yet even those are Seldom pre
served and Applied so carefully as they
might or ought to be.
rhe principal varieties are those oF
'the ox, the cow, the dog, the hor.se, and
the sheep. Of these, that of the horse is
most valuable in its fresh state; it con
tains much nitrogen, but is very liable to
lose by fermentation. That of the hog
comes next. That oF the cow is placed at
the bottom oF the list. This is because
the enriching substances of Iter Food go
principally to the Formation oF milk, the
manure bting thereby rendered poorer.
"The manure of all these animals is far
richer than the food given them, because j other organic bodies, but more Scarce; at
it contains much oiore nitrogen. This is least in a Form available for plants. The
for lhj reason that a Iare part of the car-j same reasoning applies Id phosphoric a
bon and oxygen of the food are consumed J cid. It i3 ndt more necessary than the

and also by flerspiration and evaporation

J ''Wdm animals fed ripen rich food, the
! manure is much more powerful than vvhl-hi
it is poor, in England, where they tat

Others prefer to mix sufficient peat, ashes,

in the tank, to soak it all up; others still
pump it out, a:nd pour it dpon a compost

management oFa tank. Only the water

all that Falls from the eaves of the build

Regulated in this way, the tank will sel
dom overflow, and the. manure collected
in it will be oF the most valuable and
powerful description. The tank may be
made oF stone, brick or wood, as is most
convenient, and need cost but very little.
"While the liquid manure is actually,
in many cases, almost entirely lost, the
solid part is oFten allowed to drain and

has washed away, or is exposed in heaps
to ferment without any covering. In
such a ease ammonia is always c formed
and given off, it may often be perceived
by thesmell, particularly in horse manure.
The fact may also be shown, by dipping a
feather in muriatic acid, artd waving it
over the heap. IF ammonia, in any quan
tity is escaping, white fumes will be visi
ble about the feather, caused by the For
mation of muriate oF ammonia. This es

a great measure, prevented, by shovelling
earth over the surface oF the heap, to a
depth oF two or three inches. If this docs

"Torse manure, particularly, should
