Value of sewerage.

--The great value of sewerage as a fertilizer is more readily acknowledged abroad than in this country. In the town of Croyden, England, a company has lately been started, with a capital of £30,000, or nearly $150,000, in shares of £10, whose object it is to preserve the sewerage of the town for the neighboring farmers. The Board is composed of eminent agriculturists and land owners. A concession has been obtained from the town of one hundred years, and the quantity of sewerage to be obtained is estimated to be sufficient for nine thousand acres of land. This will be pumped to a reservoir on an elevation about two miles distant, whence it will flow to each farm and field by gravitation.
