PROPER TINE TO MANURE.-With respect to
the proper time or season for putting on farm
yard artificial and other manure that will de-
pend entirely on circumstances and the con-
venence of the farmer remember this ques-
ton was once put to a very shrewd old far
mer by young neighbor, who had very high
opinion of the old mans judgment and expe-
rience in farming matters and after stipulat-
ing for fee in the shape of a jug of ale (Which
of course, was very cheerfully paid) what
think You was the old mans reply to the anx-
ious inquirer? Why simply this "Put it
on all the year around" Now, although we
may not quite agree with the farmer that all
the year about is the best time for putting on
manure, yet think most of us agree with him
that dressing of good manure will seldom do
harm at any season; and no doubt by this
significant answer the old man meant to i'm
press upon the mind of his neighbor the high
value he placed upon this right hand friend
In my opinion, the best time for applying ma
nurc of any kind lincluding bone dust) to
permanent pasture is when the vegetation is
the most active, say in the months of April
and September, if the land can be spared =
and the old fashioned custom of putting on
manure Immediately after the hay is carried
of, is, think, very good one.-1L. Martin.

The Arrownmith Hnar.

The London Times, with all It's magni-
tude and power appears to be one of tho
most gulliblo Of journals. A crazy A.
merioan, named Arrowsmith, Of New
Orleans, wrote a sketch Of a railroad
ride from Macon TO Augusta (Ga, in
which he states that ten duels were fought
in succession in the smoking car. seven
Of them fatal, and four to be fought after
the writer left. All these duels were
about young lady passenger, and al
originated during the journey. Gentle
men from the ages OF eighteen to eighty
was engaged in them. One of the duel
lists killed four men in succession, and on
the fifth duel was shot dead himself, otc,,
etc.
The details Of this remarkable proceed
ing are given with historic Rccutaoy, and
tho writer gravoly assures the Times that
II is no uncommon amusement on Ameri-
can railways, The Times swallowed il
all, and gave the American people fierce
abusing for their barbarity-and tho
cream Of the joke is that the Times sticks
70 Il, and bolabors us daily with all the
aphorisms Of George Fox. For instance
II gravoly tells its readers that the state Of
things now existing in America must vOry
shortly result in the extinction Of hs race
That like lot Of scorpions We win eat
each other upl It is difficult for an A.
merican to conceive Of such monstrous
stupidity and ignorance on the part of our
John Bull cousins.
