When and how to apply Manure.

If We consult nature-taking her pro-
cesses as our guide-we shall see her vege-
table fertilizers applied in the faIl-and
there can be no better evidence that this
i, n most favorable time for manuring the
soil. Circumstances, it is true, may rem
der it advisable to vary from this time, and
it is one Of the objects Of the farmers study
to be able to modify natural laws, and TO
choose in some cases, convenience as his
guide. The more perfectly, however, he
understands Nature the better he can COM
mand her, but generally the closer will be
his obedience to her teachings. Nature
makes no mistakes-she never practices
false economy-all progress is by due obe-
dence to her laws.
The application of manure in autumn
pre-supposes that it has become partially
decomposed during the summer, and that
it will become we'll rotted by the following
spring, when needed by plants upon the
resumption or commencement of their
growth. 1t is thus ready for their use, and
this is one material advantage of applying
manure in autumn. Another advantage is,
that this decomposition has reduced its
bulk without deteriorating its value, (f
properly carried on) rendering its transpor-
tatlon less expensive, while at the same
time, the team and the roads are in better
condition for the work. The summer sea-
son, too, has afforded time for composing
the stores Of the barn yard with muck and
other vegetable matter, thus increasing
largely the amount and value of both elias.
sess Of material-an important object to
to the farmer.
Nature, if asked the question, "How
shall we apply manure7" answers, On
tue surface" She has no operation analo.
gous to plowing-and while we may think
we have improved upon her methods-as
we undoubtedly have in this and other
respects, we still may learn wisdom for the
example. In applying manure to sward
land in the sail, let it be spread up on the
surface-the growing grass will keep it in
place, will keep it moist, and will gradually
work its decomposition. When we would
plow in the spring, it is in the right state
and position for our use-for the use of the
succeeding crop-and practice proves this
to be one of the best method of manuring
sward for any crop. In applying manure
on stubble land, it would be we'll to cover
1t immediately with the gang plow or cult
vator, Incorporating it as thoroughly as may
be with the surface soil. In spring, before
sowing, let the land be plowed to proper
depth for the crop applied, and the result
has been in the cases in which trial has
been madc-a better crop than from ma
nuring in the spring in the usual manner.

airs. The soldiers Of the Revolution made
their appearance in large numbers to meet
their old commander. All the women and
children OF Salem and the region round
about were collected together to add to the
importanceand grandeur Of the reception.
A committee Of reception WAS appointed,
one Of its members, who cbanced to be a
Quaker, was selected TO act as spokesman for
the occasion.
A great speech was perhaps expected for
so great al occasion. q long speech exhib-
