SURFACE MATURING The best English
farmers conccde that in very few cases, man
ure acts better for being plowcd in, In case.
of long, that is. strawy manure, it must be
covered, that it may decay and when yard
manure has not been composted, as it should
be, tue ammonia will escape unless it is COW
cred with earth. The reason why top-dress-
ing is best can easily be understood. 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 num-
Der Of roots. When the water thus charged
passes by gravity through a foot of soil, from
the surface downward, it visits 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.

PRESERVING FENCE PosTs. is a we'll
known fact that the decay Of wood is chiefly
owing to the presence of albuminous or nj
trogenized substances contained within it.
AS these substances go into decomposition,
as they rapidly do, they induce decay among
the more solid particles of carbon. Various
ways have been resorted to for coagulating
this alhumen as a means to secure the pre-
servatlon Of wood. But all the methods
that have been resortcd to are too expensive
to be employed in the preservation of fence
posts. .....
Ship builders have a method of preparing
timber, which is not expensive, and which
might perhaps be employed with profit by
farmers in preparing fence posts. They
work out the lumber to about the size that
is required, and then immense it i'll water
for several weeks or months The water
gradually dissolyes out and washes away the
nltrogenized or albuminous matter, and thus
effects the preservation of the wood
Doubtless the best way to get rid of the
albuminous matter would be to entirely I'M
merse the posts in water, by putting weights
on them; and it would appear that running
water would be preferable to that which is
still, since the matter would be washed away
as soon as it had soaked cut.

Reputation EmphaticaIly Repudiated.

The debate in the House of Repre-
sentatiyes, and the action taken by that
body on the 10th. repor ed elsewhere,
will do more to strengthen the national
credit and improve the condition of the
national finances than anything that has
occurred IN many months. and Is is sur
prlsing that, as dispatches state, it is the
general topic of remark at Washington
and IN our commercial centres.
The fact that but two members of the
only party from which reputation has
been feared dared to declare in favor of
reputation of our national obligations in
any FORM one man making speech,
but accidently failing to vote, and anoth-
er only declaring for reputation in a
certain contingency; the emphatic de-
elarations which prominent Democrats
hasten to make against reputation of
the public debt, and the so near unan;-
nous adoption of resolution putting
the seal of condemnation of Congress on
al propositions to repudiate any portion
Of the public debt of the United States,
must be convincing proof to all the
world that the people Of the United
States will pay what the nation owes.
and keep the public faith and honor un-
furnished.

A young man once picked up SOW
ereign lying in the road. Ever afterward
as he walked along he kept his eyes fixed
steadily on the ground in the hope of find
ing another, And in the course of long
life he did pick up, at different times,
good amount of gold and silver. But all
these days, as he was looking for them, he
saw not that heaven was bright above
him and that nature was beautiful around.
He never once allowed his eyes to look up
from the mud and filth in which he SOUGHT
the treasure, and when he died, rich
old man, he only knew this fair earth of
ours as dirty road to 1iek up money as
you walk along.

SO, she not having any claims against
