he was clerk, and afterwards a partner in

A Bad Practice.

Many farmers practice hauling out their
manure in the fall, and leaving it in heaps,
Iexposed to the weather through the winter.
Under certain circumstances, and when pro-
per care is taken to secure it, it is we'll But
it is not good plan to leave manure through
the winter, or indeed for any considerable
length of time, exposed in the field in small
piles, as is sometimes done. In neighbor-
ing town the other day, we saw quite field
covered with manure heaps ready for spread
ing Some of it must have been there many
days. Whether it is to be plowed this fall
or remain as it is through the winter, we are
not informed but at any rate 1T must be
some time before it can be spread and pow-
ed in. In this dry and drying time we should
not want it to lie SO one day if it were ours.
The gasses will rapidly pass away. Indeed,
rain and wet weather will not iniure the
manure heap so much as exposure to dry
ing air. We once had little experience in
this way. We thought to gain time by haul
ing our dressing out on a sled in March, and
over the surface. 1t happened to be dry
spring, and but little rain fell from the time
it was dropped till it was spread. We found
but little Of it left; nothing but the dry f.
brous substance.
his manure, it may as we'll lay in the field
as in the yard, if in other respects III as fa-
vorable condition. And it is frequently
more convenient drawing it in the fall the
ground is not so soft to draw over, and gen
orally there is more time. But in such cases
it should be put in as large, compact heaps
as possible, and so composted as to be kept
from heating, and the whole surface covered
few inches deep with soil, muck, or some
thing of the kind to retain the gaseous VA
pors which might otherwise escape from it.
When under cover we think it best to let il
remain there till wanted, and run the risk of
an opportunity to get it out in the spring.
1t is the way we practice. The portion Of
our manure which is in the barn cellar, which
is the most of it, we let remain till wanted
to put under ground, and then do it as quick.
after it is hauled out as possible. Il Northern

KIND WoRDs.-Kind words do not cost
much. They never blister the tongue or
lips. And we have never heard of any men
tai trouble arising from this quarter
Though they do not cost much, yet they
accomplish much.
They help ones good nature and good will.
Soft words soften our own soul. Angry
words are fuel to the flame of wrath, and
make it blaze the more fiercely. r
Kind words make other people good natur-
ed. Cold words freeze people, and hot words
scorch them, and bitter words make them
bitter, and wrathful words make them
wrathful. -.
There is such a rush of all other kinds of
words, in our days, that it seems desirable
to give kind words a chance among them.
There are vain words, and spiteful words,
and silly words, and boisterouS words, and
warlike words
Kind words also produce their own image
on mems souls. And a beautiful image it is
they soothe, and quiet and comfort the hear
er. They shame him of his sour, morose un-
kind feelings.

TO CLEAN KID GLovEs.--Ladies will be
glad to learn that alcohol will wash kid
gloves, of all coors, without either staining
them or leaving an unpleasant odor about
them. The gloves are simply drawn upon
the hand and carefully rubbed with piece
of clean white flannel, wet with alcohol,
until the soil is removed, then hung up to
dry, and afterwards slightly stretched, when
the original color reappears This we have
from one who has tried it successfully.

SUBSTITUTE FOR PorAToEs. Es.--For the last
four years considerable attention has been
paid at the museum of natural history in
Paris, to the cultivation of plant coming
from China and known under the name of
Doscoror Japonica. This plant, says the
writer of paper sent to the central agri
cultural society may by its size, weight and
hardy character. become exceedingly valua-
BILE in France. as it will serve as substitute
for tie potato. Its tubercles, like those of
the Jerusalem artichoke, resist in the open
air the severest winter without sustaining
any injury. Several specimens of these roots,
of very large size, were presented in 1852
to the society, one of which, of a cylindric-
al form, was three feet in length; another,
presented in 1853, weighed three pounds (;
the former having been in the earth twenty
months, and the latter sixteen. The flavor
of this vegetable is more delicate than that
cf the potato. - Galignani. .ai

A Frenchman must have his breakfast be-
fore he fights, and he will cook and eat it in
the midst of bursting bombs rather than miss
it for between the fear of losing his break
fast and his life there is about an even bal
ance. On the morning of the battle of Ink
ermann, $500 Englishmen were compelled
TO stand the shock of $4,000 Russians for
three hours, before the French division arri-
we'd, the latter having stopped to eat their
breakfast before starting to the aid of their
suffering allies. They fought beautifully, as
they always do when they did arrive, but in
the mean time there had been fearful saugh-
ter of Englishmen, which otherwise might
have been saved. This is one of the facts
which do not appear in print, for the good
of the alliance. but it is nevertheless true

Coal FIELDS OF ARKANsAs.-Dr Shumard,

gives information of an inexhaustible coal
field in Arkansas. The Doctor gives the re-
suit of his experiments at fifteen different

seams of coal, many of them 20 feet Deep
have been discovered. The great Arkansas

TAX QUESTION DEcIDED.--The superior
court of Cincinnati has decided against the
tax payers, in the cases recently presented
for their judgment. The court said they
could grant no relief, as the supreme court
of the state had fully settled all the leading
points, and they were bound by this decis-
ion. The tax payers must now pay up, as
the court has refused to grant any injunctions
against the treasurer.-[O. S. Journal.
The Cincinnati Enquirer says that the tax
payers have held a meeting and determined
that when the treasurer shall, by " distress"
take personal property to pay taxes due, the
owners of such property will commence suit
against the auditor and treasurer for trespass,
and the cases be carried up to the U. S. su-
preme court.
