Animal Manures.
These comprise the flesh, blood, hair.
bones, horns, excrements, etc, of ani
mals. They contain more nitrogen
than vegetable manures, and are tax
more powcrmi. )
1. Stable Manures. The standard ma
nure of this country is that from the
stable and barn-yard. The principal
varieties are those of the ox, the cow;
the horse ana the siieep. Of these, thai
of the horse is the most valuable in its
fresh state, but is very liable, as ordin
arily treated, to lose much of its value
by fermentation: that of the sheep
comes next; while thatof the cow ii
placed at the bottom of the list, because
.the enriching substance of her food goes
principally to the formation of milk;
That of the ox is better. The value of
each of these manures varies also with
the food and condition of the animals
from which it is made. The manure
from any animal is richer than the
lootl given to It, because it contains, in
addition to the residum of the food,
certain particles belonging to the ani
mal. The extent to-which it is am ma
lized depends upon the thoroughness
01 the digestion, latness or the animal,
and the drain made upon the elements
of nutrition bv the system. The ma
nure of well-kept cattle, it is readily
seen, is far more valuable than that
from those which are barely kept
alive.
All the urine, as well as the solid ex
crements of animals, should be carei
fully preserved. It is very rich in
nitrogen and the phosphates, and some
writers on agriculture contend that it3
value,: If properly preserved and ap
plied, is greater than that of the dung.
From an experiment made in Scotland,
it appears that in five months each cow
discharges urine, which when absorbed.
by loam furnishes manure enough of
the richest quality ana most auraDie
'effects for half an acre of ground.
Think of this, ye American farmers,
who are accustomed to allow so much
of this richness to run to waste! Tie
urine of three cotes for oneiyear is worth
more than a ton of guano, which would
cost from fifty to sixty dollars ! Will
you' continue, to waste, urine and buy
guano? Various' methods of preserv
ing and applying it will suggest-them-selvcsto
the intelligent farmer. Sta
bles may be so constructed that the
liquid discharges of the cattle, together
with the wash of the barn-yard, may be
conducted to a tank or cistern to be
mimped out and applied directly to the
-land, or absorbed by saw-dust, charcoal
dust, turf, etc., and used in that form.
If allowed to stand long in the liquid
form, fermentation is liable to take
formation of the sulphate of ammonia,
which will not evaporate.
But the waste of manures is not con
fined to those of the liquid form. The
solid excrements of the animals are of
ten left to drain, bleach, or ferment till
the greater portion of their most valua
ble elements have disappeared. Stablo
'manures should be sheltered from the sun
and rain, and fermenting heaps so cov
ered with turf or loam as to prevent
the escape of the fertilizing gases. Plas
ter, as in the case of urine, will aid in
retaining the ammonia. Boussingault,
ojie of the most accurate of experimen
ters in agricultural chemistry, states
that while nitrogen in fresh horse-dung
is two and seven tenths per cent, that
in the fermented and dried dung is only
one per cent. Horse-dung should be
mixed at once with other manures, or
with turf or loam, to retain its full
value. The manure of sheep is very
Strong and active, and, next to that of
the horse, is most liable to heat and de
compose, i
lioy Manure. The manure of swine
is strong and valuable. Swamp muck;
weeds, straw, leaves, etc., should be
thrown into the sty in liberal quantU
ties, to be rooted over and mixed with
tli ilimcr. Tn this wav 'from five to
ten loads of manure per annum may bt

For the Carolina Era. ;
The reason why the manufacturing
interests of North Carolina meet with
so little encouragement is very plain to
observing men, the very moment the
manufacturing of any article is com
menced in this State, and its citizens
commence to purchase, and the article
sells readily, just so soon the price is
raised and our people are forced to hunt
"another market. This I find to be the
case with our fine mountain cheese of
North Carolina. At first the merchants
of this city baught largely and would
have continued so to do, but up went
prices and ofT went our merchants to
the' North for cheese, and then it is
hurled at them that they will not pat
ronise home manufactures. It seems
they think one season is the only time
they will ever have to get rich. As I
have given a little advice to our moun
tain friends I cannot let our eastern
friends pass for fear of insulting them.
We I learn up here that our fisheries
have never caught so many fish as they

all who are implicated, and numbers of old
grey headed fathers are bringing in their
sons and turning them over to the U. S. au

acknowledged it, and for the good of the

Nationai. Insurance Convention
North Carolina AbiRfresented in
the Person of Wm. H. JfttNCH, Esq., of
Raleigh. This body convened in the City
ofNewTTork, on the 23rdj ult., and from
its published proceedings, We infer! that its
deliberations were of tho most interesting
character. , : -1
Wm. H. Finch,
Esq., special delegate
from North Carolina, in p
dentlals, said: (
senting his cre-
' Mr.' President. North! Carolina sends
greeting and good will to New York and
her sister States. Representing a State which
at present exercises no govermentai super
vision over the insurance business within
her limits, I shall of course during a great
part of your deliberations be merely a
"looker on' in Vienna." It will be my pur
pose, however, to carefully observe your
action, to report your conclusions to the
Executive Department, which I have the
honor to represent, to the end that North
Carolina may adopt such plans in the prem
ises as your wisdom may suggest and her
Legislature approve. Our vorthy Qovernor
and Treasurer are fully alive to the impor
tance of the great interests which we have
met to guard and perpetuate, and our Leg
islature will no doubt cordially unite with
them in carrying into effect any recommen
dation this highly competent body may
make, tending towards t uniformity in in
surance legislation throughout the Union
"a consummation most devoutly to .bo
wished." ; I
The views of Gov. Caldwell are in full
accord with those of the Hon. Mr. Miller, of
New York, on these subjects, and his zeal
ous co-operation may be confidently ex
pected if the results of our deliberations
tend (as they no doubt will), to the advance
ment of the good of his people, j '
I need not assure you, Mr. President, of
my readiness to Jtend my aidy to the best of
my ability, in promoting the objects for
which we have assembled."
We find Mr. F. introducing the following
resolution, from which, such information
will be had, as to enable Insurance compa
nies to so regulate their tables, j that the
greatest amount of good will result both to
the insured and Companies: J
. " That a standing committee of three be
appointed by the President of this Conven
tion to solicit and receive from each Life
Insurance Company in the United States,in
each year, in future, a statement of their
actual experience as regards interest and
mortality, and that the statistics of the Com
panies shall be compiled in such, forms and
under such regulations as the President may
prescribe, in the archives of this i Conven
tion, to the end that a combined Experience
Table may be formed therefrom after the
lapse of sufficient time." j j
It appears that a number of the Conven
tion visited New Haven, Conn.,J and were
welcomed by the Mayor of that City. Mr.
Finch was selected to respond in behalf of
the delegates, and he is reported, in The New
Haven Press, to have said : J ; j
In behalf of my brethren of the Conven
tion for this welcome, I tender most hearty
thanks. We come, sir, from the Atlantic
and the Pacific slopes, from the Orange
groves of Louisiana, and from those spright
ly daughters of the " original thirteen," the
great States of the West, to meet and agree
upon plans which will foster and protect
that great and beneficent institution and in
terest Insurance. You will be pleased, sir,
no doubt to learn that great unanimity ana
harmony has characterized our proceed
ings! a bright augury for the future, giving
promise of great results. I
Among many other considerations, your
beautiful City is respected and revered
throughout the country as the seat of Yale
College." Classic spot! Hundreds of great
men and thousands of others I far above
mediocrity are proud to call thee "alma
mater!" . i
Again thanking the Mayor for his wel
come to the confines of New England and
to his City of Elms, we all entertain the
hope that our ties of friendship, our ties of
business and our common tie of nationality
may bind us all together, "hearts as well as
hands," as one people. j
We offer no apology for the space occupir
ed in this notice of our worthy young friend,
William H. Finch. He has represented the
Old North State with credit to himself, and
honor 'to his old mother! lie took rank
with the best talent in that Convention, and
proved himself to- be, what has long been
conceded at home, one of the best Insurance
men in the land.

it is of the skob-nolly species J The bark
on this tree is eighteen feet, three and one
half inches thick ; the first three limbs; are
two hundred and seventeen feet from the
ground, and twenty four feet in diameter.
This tree is supposed to be over eleven hun
dred feet and one inch high and over three
thousand years old. It is thought that it
sprang from the root of the tree which fur
nished the flag staff for Noah's Ark. For a
number of years it was in poor health and
did not grow much, but a few 'applications
of the Balsam of Tar and a couple of doses
of Vinegar Bitters, and one application of
Perry Davis' Pain Killer restored it to its
pristine health and vigor, and it is now in
a most flourishing condition, and is increas
ing in circumference at the rate of sixteen
and two third inches ' every twenty-four
hours. It may be seen from the -dome of

The Battleboro' Advance, says of the Ad
dress of the Central Executive Committee:
" With all deference to the superior wisr
dom of the Committee, we disagree with it
as to the policy of urging all these amend
ments upon the Legislature at the present
time and under existing circumstances.
We think it would be best to present only
one amendment to the Legislature that
concerning the tax.! The others can afford
to wait. We have I an election for a new
Legislature, and with all these amendments,
we cannot be sure of securing the necessary
two-thirds. We very much doubt if we
can secure two-thirds of the next Legisla-
ty with dead weight. Let us first get out
The Boys. A novel feature of the Fair
last week was the presence of twenty-eight
stout, healthy boys from Iredell county,
ranging in ages from ten to fifteen years.
Our friend, Col. R. F. Simonton of States
ville, selected the boys as specimens of the
health and vigor of Iredell, and paid their
expenses to Charlotte and back home. Whp
hnt that. artniA nno nr two of thOSG
dear little fellows may yet be President or
liimperor oi tne u mtea estates oi Ameri
ca. Charlotte Democrat.
We have no doubt Col. Simonton meant
well, in exhibiting tho noble I mountain
sprouts, at tho Fair. He intended to show
that the climate, water, fcc., of Iredell, all
conduces to health and vigor, as the Demo
crat says. But, alas ! brother Yates has at
last caught the contagion, and exhibits the
bad taste of his bitterest enemy The Sen
tinel. !
M. W. Churchill advertises in this paper
for one thousand bushels ground peas, or
peanuts we hope he may have them
speedily supplied, in view of the fact that
the Legislature will soon meet in our city,
and tho demand,Aen,will be heavyjudging
from the past. This Legislature j is a crack
ing concern I It not only cracks peanuts,
to sustain the inner man, while tleliberating
on the grave topics of the day but it took
a deliberate crack at the Constitution last
winter, and failed, and they now propose to
make a crack in that same instrument this
winter. With three dollars a day and ten
cents a mile.it is possible some of them will
not crack as many champagne bottles as
they did last Session. However,bring your
peanuts to Churchill they'll crack them.
Mean and Low. The atttcinpt of some
one in Washington city to destroy the pros
pects and future hope, of thousands of f reed
men, by telegraphing to the world that a
run had been made on the National Freed
man's Savings Bank of that city, is certain
ly too low and mean, to be even considered
in intelligent circles. Malico was at the
bottom of this move ; and we are pleased to
see this Institution so ably vindicated, as
appears from the annexed, which we find
in a late number of the Charleston Courier.
In refering to the slander, the Courier says:
" There was not a shadow of ground for it.
Seldom has the bank there had a week of
more perfect quiet. Our Actuary in .that
city sends us the figures for two' weeks in
October, covering the time when this run
was said to have occurred, showing the de
posits in that one branch to have been
$163,010.34, and largely ahead of the draft.
The report to the Board of Trustees, on
tho 12th of October, showed the assets of the
Company to be 3,153,509 of thi3 there was
in United States Bonds and cash (all imme
diately available) $1,167,126.86 ; and in other
securities, on which a loan could have been
instantly negotiated, if needed, to the
amount of $1,196,000. Why shoulda "run"
alarm any way, which had a strength so
vast as this T " I i ' '
The property of the Company in buildings
includes one just completed in Washington,
which has cost $160,000, and is j rented now
for 18,000 per annum to the United States
Government. In fact, it is probable that no
more safe and thriving institution exists in
the United States n than the Freedman's
Savings Bank,'! .

THE AMERICAN WASHER!
i XTRICTK, $S.SOf
The American Washer Saves Money, Time, and
Drudgery. .
The Fatigue of Washing Day no Longer
Dreaded, but Economy, Efficiency, and
Clean Clothing, Sum . :
In calling publio attention to this little
machine, a few of the invaluable qualities,
(not possessed by any other washing ma
chine yet invented,) are here enumerated.
. It is the smallest, most compact, most
portable, most simple in construction, most
easily operated. A child ten years old, with
a few hours practice, can thoroughly com
prehend and effectually use it. There la no
adjusting, no screws to annoy, no delay in
adapting! It is always ready for use! It
is a perfect little wonder ! It is a miniature
giant, doing more work and of a better
quality, than the mest elaborate and costly.
One half of the labor is fully saved by its
use, and the clothes will last one-half longer
than by the old plan of the rub board. It
will wash the largest blanket. Three shirts
at a time, washing thoroughly ! ; In a word,
the ablution of any fabric, from a Quilt to a
Lace Curtain or Cambric Handkerchief, are
equally within the capacity of this LITTLE
GEM f It can bo fastened to any tub and
taken off at will. I 1
No matter how deep rooted a prejudico
may exist against Washing Machines, the
moment this little machine is seen to per
form its wonders, all doubts of its cleansing
elficacy and utility are banished, and the
doubter and detractor at once I become tho
fast friends of the machine. !
We have testimonials without end, setting
forth its numerous advantages over all oth
ers, and from hundreds who have thrown
aside the unwieldy, useless machines, which
hav e signally failed to accomplish the ob
ject promised in prominent and loud sound
ing advertisements, j . j .
It is as perfect for washing as a wringer is
for wringing. The price another paramount
inducement to purchasers, has been placed
so low that it is within the reach of every
housekeeper, and thore is no article of do
mestic economy that will repay the ' small
investment so soon. ! i ,
$5.SO. . J'
All that is asked for this GREAT LABOR
SAVER, is a fair trial. We guarantee each
machine to do its work perfectly.- r j
