What shall / do TODAY.

Every farmer well knows that there Is
son. or need not be done at ell. For in
stance; if corn is not planted at the proper
time. a crop need not be expected. The
ground will not produce unless the seed be
added, neither will the grounl and seed to-
gether produce without the aid OF the warm
rains and genial sunshine of Spring and
summer. Hence corn must be planted in
the Spring cultivated through the summer,
and SO os-esch Of The other crops; hey have
their demands each in their respective sea-
son. But outside of all this; that farmers
call necessary work, there are other de-
mands as numerous, we might say as the
days Of the year. These extras every good

asked, ss ts what shall we Do to-day, we
propose pointing ont few things stmight

which we allege are where what we have
denomin aied aeeessary work can not be
done, such as, the time from csrn planting
till corn working. or wet days through the

have atalogue OF such questions as the
following for reference.

Management Of Stable Manure

i have read with pleasure the several ar

manuses and their application; but none of
them quite hit my case. use all of my
manure for raising corn, and appiy'it with
reference to the present crop @entirely-(as

difficulty about my corn filling out if | can

this: cart no manure from my barn-yard
in the spring, but let it lie till fall. Dur

Muck, Clay, Loan, Sod, earth, or any other
substance easily obtained, to mix swiih the
manure-yard my cows on it and dig over if
necessary. In the fall [say Now scrape

never throw any manure from my stables
into the barh-yard, either summer or winter;

made by horned cattle and horses, goes into

THE DEMOCRACY OF NEW YORK.

The Albany Atlas and Argus, in late issue, thus
defines the position now assumed by the democracy
of the Empire State
One secret of the present strength OF the democratic
party of New York is its unsesh position ia respect
this State in July 1885, the OF popular sentiment
strongly not only against future dssensons but also
agains. the usual of such dissensons. In word
and to speak plainly the prevailing opinion of the demo
Gratis of New York that they would not allow diys
ions be rekindled among them in reference to future
presidential candidates from their State and the
srest way prevent this they would adopt the unsel-
fish and honorable position OF entering into presiden
tal intrigues and of indicating candidate from New
York, but of aborng to redeem their State from its
political thraldom and place II in position to tender its
large electoral vote to such distinguished yote of
sister State the democracy of the Union might desig
nate for its highest honors.
The democrats Of New York have executed a mate
rial part of this high resolve They have vindced their
principles within their borders They present New
York among the democratic States OF the Union They
bring her up to the support of President Buchanans adj
mnstiaon and they introduce her, prepared to wiold
her great if not controlling, influence in favor of demo-
cratic principles in deciding the great contest of 1860.
They ask nothing for her in that struggle except the
privilege of atonng for her detection in 1856 by then
corng her thirty five votes in favor Of such candidates
shall be acceptable to their brethren throughout the
nation Their position is that of abores for the demo
cratic for the love of it, and for the benefits and
blessings its asccndency coners upon their State and
upon the nation in the increased prosperity and happiness
of the people. In rc-enterng the circle of democratic
States and willie receiving the congratulations uf their
brethren throughout the Unon they inclined to have
the motives of their action and their future purposes truly
appreciated that the relationship pleasantly renewed
may be disturbed by unounded jeaioses and marred
by no unjust suspicious. y
