The following on the subject Of
manures is by Emanuel Rudisill;
My experience in manures has
been mostly on wheat land. put
on in Juno and pillow it under. in
August give the field a good har-
rowing and plow it again to bring
up the manure before putting in
wheat, l prefer putting on the
manure in its green state and lot it
ferment under ground. ] think
land is much benefited by it. and
have always raised good crops of
wheat.
have also had good wheat crops
on oats ground by putting on ma
nure in July or August, and plow
it under and letting il lay till the
first of September and plow il
again. I make it rule TO put all
my wheat land down with clover
and let it lay two seasons. When
Happily manure to my meadows |
prefer it we'll rotted andput it on in
November with very good results.
l mix the horse manure with the
cattle manure, it is not so ready to
get -fangcd by mixing it. My
sheep manure is left in the pom un-
der cover and l take it out every
spring and apply it to my fallow
ground. The wheat will always
be much better on that part than
whore | put the manure that was
left out exposed 10 tho weather;
which | think is q good proof that
all our manures ought to be kept
under cover till taken TO tho field.
! once applied few loads Of leach
cd ashes TO a very poor sandy spot
and whatever is put on that part is
always much thriftier than the 9TH
er adjoining. tits now about four
teen years since the ashes were
put on. Where | apply stable ma-
nure on any Of my sandy land the
effects will only bo seen on the first
crop. / think it is too porous to
contain any manurcs longer than
one season. But on my clay land
l can see the effect Of the manure
on the second and third crops. /
have also applied plaster Of paris
on corn with very good effects.

Sailing BUrTRR.--A. Raymond,
a New Hampshire correspondent
OF tho Rural Now Yorker, gives the
following recipe for sailing butter /;
Take two. quarts Of good salt, one
ounce Of sugar, one quart Of salt.
peter Use ono ounce Of tho com.
position for ono pound of butter
1t should bo stamped and loft TO
cool before putting in jars. But.
tor prepared in this way should
not DO used for two or three wcoks.
You will find that your butter will
be worry 6ne, as il will have no brit
tlc or salty look or taste. BY fol.
loving this course your butter will
keep tho year through, in warm as
we'll as cold weather.

Products of cold.

The New York Evening Post, gives The
following interesting statement of the
worlds production of the precious metals,
for period Of eighteen years -' H
The estimated amount of gold III exist
ence AT the commencement Of the Christian
era was 1927, 1000 At the discovery of
America, 1902, this amount had diminished
to S57 900 O00. In 1000 the amount had
risen to $l05, 900 600; in 100, to $751;
600, LOCO in 1900 to $G,25l 100000. m
The Russian mnes extending over ono
third Of tho surface Of the globe on par
allel lifty.hve degrees north latitude, were
discovered in 1919. In le43 the estimated
amount ofgofl in existence was $2,000,000,-
900. Next folLswed the discoveries OF
California, February, 8, ls4s, and in Aus.
trala, February II, 1851, which added
enormously TO the gold production. In
1853. the amount in existence was S3,000.-
000000 in 1860, il was S4,600,0OO 600.
To aceOnnt for this vast increase, from
A. D.. 1900 to 1860, we give the estimates
that from the discovery in 1919 TO the
close of 1860 the Russian mines added
STAG, 900, 600 and the California and Ans
lralian discoveries added at least ito the
same year) 50 600 0000 600 more.
The annual average product Of gold at
the commencement of the Christian era is
estimated at $8,O0O,0 900 at the discovery
of America this product had diminished to
100000; in 1000 it had increased To
s., 100000 ; in 1900, 10 S5,00O,000; in 1900
to $4,000, 600 l8l3, to S34OO0,000; in
1850, to ss,OO0O0O in 1853, S23600O, 900
thore was subsequent falling off, s0 that
in 1860 the product was only S2l0,0 900.
The average annual loss by the wear of
coin is estimated at one tenth of one per
cent the loss by consumption in the arts
and ly fire and shpwreek is calculated at
from one million to three millions per year.

4 TERRIBLE ADVENTURE In ICE
LAMB.

Mount Hecla, on the island Of Iceland, is
slightly under mile in hight, 1t has
three peaks a'littlc elevated above its body
aud aloug its sides are numerous craters,
The seats OF former eruptious. The crater
of the principal peak is about one hundred
feet in depth. 1t is composed chiefly Of
habalt and lava, but slug sand and ashes
cover great part Of its surface, and oh
siaian is among its.most remarkable pro.
ducts.
There have been forty.three ernptions
Of Mount lIccla recorded within the last
thousand years, Eve of which have been
simultaneous with Vesuvus, four with
those OF Etna, and one with those of both.
The last eruption began September 2,
1866 and, lasted u I'll April 6, 1916, On
the 23d OF November the torrent Of lava,
two mies from the crater, was a mile in
width, aud from 40 to 80 feet in depth,
Carl Steinman visited lIeela just preyi-
Gus to this terrific eruption, and had one
OF the uarrowest escapes from a horrible
death thar ever befel an adventurous man,
We give his narrative in almost his own
words.
On the next morning after my arrival at
the small village at the foot Of the volcano,
| engaged guide, faithful honest fellow,
ami set out for "a visit TO the noted crater.
From the very first it seemed as If had
passed the confines and was entering a new
word, SO entirely different was the seen
cry.
As you press upward toward the focus
Of all the horror OF burning stuff, you find
the peril, dreariness and desoation in-
creases, until at length, its awlulness be-
Genes sublime and al length when you
stand on the topmost point Of this burning
world Of chaos, you iHstinclively raise your
heart to God, with shudder of terror, to
restore you TO the great living world that
you have left behind you.
For six mortal hours-three on horse
back, and three on foot had been clam
bering upward from the lower world, and
now among the clouds and mists that rolled
around me, | stood in a world of lava noun
tains, ice and snow, the lava black as ink,
tie snow Of dazzling whiteLess- aud not

and myself.
