Surface Manuring,

The best English farmers concede
that, in very few cases, manure acts
better for being plowed in In case
of long, that is, strswy manure. il
must be covered that it may decay /;
and when yard manure has not been
composted, as it should be, the am
mona will escape unless it is cover
ed with earth. The reason why top
dressing is best can easily be under
stood. No manure can act on the
roots of growing crops till it is
dissolved. When dissolved, the
water holding plant-food in solution
should be brought in contact with
the greatest number OF roots.-
When the water thus charged passes
by gravity through a foot Of soil,
from the surface downward, it visits
q greater number OF rootlets than
when it passes down from depth of
four or five inches below the surface.
Millions of acres of grass land have
been broken up simply for the sake
Of enriching the field with manures.
All this is misapplied toll. Meadows
can be brought up by top-dressing
just as effectively, and at much less
cost.

The DySpeptic Farmer.

1t is q curious fact that our dys.
peptic farmers, hard working, early
rising, big dinner eating, though they
be, take better care of their horses
than they do of themselves. AS
the horses come in, steaming from
work, you will always hear: "John,
let them cool off before you feed
them" But the farmer who insists
on this treatment Of his horses will
sit down to the dinner table hot and
fadgued, and commence at once to
satisfy the cravings of an unnatural
appetite And after dinner be bolts
off to the field, fretful and uneasy
under the impression that his en-
ployees are taking undue advantage
Of him if a fifteen minutes rest is
allowed.
This man cannot understand why
his neighbor, who cares for his own
stomach as much as he does for his
horse, and who eats at the proper
time and in a proper manner, and
insists on every man having a rest
of half an hour after eating, is SO
free from sickness, is always IN such
good humor, and accomplishes so
much more. than himself. We have
some farmers OF the dyspeptic type
in every ueighborhood. When at
work they move like whirlwinds,
take scarcely time to breathe, drink
in haste, eat like hungry man at 3
railroad eating house, and when off
duty are stiff jClnted, limpiHg about
like spawned horses, morose, and as
uncomfortable as our most confirmed
city dyspeptics.-COl,tnabats Journal.

AuTTIE coosEY.

THE following exquisitely simple verses
nom the pen Of an Unknown" will touch
the heart Of every father and mother.l
The chiH November day was done,
~ The working world home faring;
The wind came roaring through the streets
And set the gas lights daring;
I And hopelessly and aimlessly
~ The scared old leaves were flying.
When mingled with the soughing wind
heard 2 small voice crying
And sfivering on the corner stood
q A child of four or over;
No cloak nor hat her small, soft arms,
And wind blown curls to cover.
Her dimpled face was stained with tears;
Her round. blue eyes ran over;
she cherished IN her wee, cold hand,
A bunch Of faded clover. 4 - -
And one hand round her treasure, while
She slipped in mine The other;
Half-scared, ,hais-confidential, said,
.-Oh! Please, want my mother"
-Tell me your street and number, pet;
Don't cry, I'll take you TO it,"
Sobbing she answered, Il forget;
The organ made Iae do il.
-He came and played al Milly's Steps;
The monkey took the money,
Andso followed down the street,
The monkey was 50 funny.
I've walked about a hundred hours,
From one street to anotlleri
The monkeys gone. I've spoiled my flowers
Oh please, want my mother"
But what's your mothers name, and whs
The street, now think O minute"
"My mothers name is mamma dear
The street, can't begin it.
SBut what is strange about the house,
Or, new, not ike the others?"
81 guess you mean my trundle bed,
Mine and my little brothers.
HOhi deari ought 10 be at home
To help him say his prayers,
He's such baby lac iorgets,
And we are both such players
And there's a bar between TO keep
From pitching on each other,
For Harry rolls when he's asleep;
Oh, dear! want my mother"
The sky grew stormy; people passed
All muffied, homeward faring;
"Youil have 10 spend the night with me-"
/ said, at last, oespairing.
