I had a náighbor, Dr. C, ; computitor in tho gardening fine, thai é'imtner. IIi.sg:irdenjoioed mine, the ñamé sízaí and tin; Kauie quality oi oil. Ho had plenty of open burnyard manure and plenty of time to work hia garden.

Tlie rápid growth of your garden is a mystery to me. Your garden was plo.wed once, mine Iwice, and dragged well. Your8 wus run down and iiad no manure, niine was in botter order, ond btiües, had plenty of manure. - Mine also has had a little botter attention than yojirs, and now Ibe Srat of July, yours is eertainly tbirty if Bot fifty per cent. ahead of mine. Teil me whai you have done to it." u Well, Doctor, come wit h me nto ny wood house," &aid I : ''There, tbat uib, with th lielp of my good wite, eoiuains all the secret there is ttbout it. I h.ivc been feeding my garden just as yen have been leeding yonr pis.:' ' Well, now I see what yuu have been doiug all Bummer. I supposed }(u were watering your garden all sümraer, and I nondfed wby you ehould be doióg' that when there has Leen plenty oi rain. Now I teo the mystery." That garden, Mesers Editors, had the reputation of being the most thrifty and the most productiva of ar.y garden iu the country. That was my first experiment with the waste water oí the family. And as that was applied to a half acre of worn-out land iiMonly a part of four mootbs in the yeaf, 1 cuino to the conclusión that had the who'e been jiidioiously applied one entire year, it would have been amply fiufrioiunt to keep, in a high productivo order, two acres. But in this estímate I havo not included tlij excrement froni the pmy, My ppihiqn was then iorined, and has been confirmed by laie experimente, that the rnanure froin the family would be amply süffioiont to . ricb as many acres lur all tlie purposw f agriculture, as there are mombers in the family, and tliis, too, exclusivo of absorbente to be used. But bv tho jiidiciuu-' uhc of absorbents, the au'iount could be-easily doubled or qwadruplod oven. And this would be the truo way oL saTiDg and uaiftg the liquid. With the expenso of one hali tod bi guano, in permanent 6xtngé, áiiy farmer could roabe from Lis house ono ton a year rbtough eoveral generations. it wül eertainly pay.- J. L.
