We were informed yesterday that
Mr. NAN RIPPER had secured the ser
vices of some thirty or forty of the
Street Brigade IN his ward He is
Conscious that the actual residents Of
the ward DO not want him as their
member of the Council. aud therefore
seeks to set their wishes a naught by
importing strangers in the ward to
vote them down. This is pretty
rough on the Third Warders. To
have man who has no permanent
home in the ward fixed upon them by
imported voters is adding injury to
insult in the most defiant manner
We hope the honest and legitimate
voters of the ward viii put down this
attempt to impose on them.

" All the Fat Goes into the Paii.''

.ay THIS truth cannot be too often repeated
A COW that is good mixer should be fed
liberally, not only while she is giving milk,
but while she is dry. All the fat she &C
-cumulates before she calves will find It's
way to the pail during thesummer. There
is no period at which COW lays on fat so
rapidly as before she calves, provided she
has food enough. 1t is wise provision
Of nature. And yet many farmers feed
nothing but straw and cofnstalksi atthis.
period. Because the cow is not giving
milk they think it will not pay to supply
more food than is necessary to sustain life.
Frequently the poor cows are not even
provided with shelters~from the storm.
And it is a mystery how they manage to-
digest straw. enough to keep up their ami
NAL heat. No wonder that many of them
have to be lifted in the spring. There
is nothing that pays soiwell as good shell

Faith in Farming.

The sight of a new barn eighty feet
long by fifty in, width, built in the most
substantial manner, and with all the ap,
planes for handling and storing crops
easily, and for making manure on a large
scale, IS an indication Of that faith which
is so often wanting upon the farm. There
Is man who believes in improved hus-
bandry, and is willing to invest ten thou
sand dollars, or full half of his capital in
barn. He, has no doubt that he can so
manage his farm and barn as to get back
the interest on all the money invested in
it,. In his view the barn is worth more to
him than the same amount of money in
vested in bank stock or in Government
bonds. This kind of faith is still the ex-
ception among farmers. Very few live
up to tie light they have, and are willing
to invest their money when they have
every reason to believe it will pay well.
Iney know very well the efficiency of
weH-made yard manures, and feel the
need OF more of them every year. Yet
they hesitate about putting cellar under
the barn, or building sheds and novels
around the yard, for the purpose of shell
terlng the manure, and the men while
they are at work upon the compost heaps
In stormy weather. They have muck and
peat enough to learn its great value, and
yet they hesitate about using labor enough
to Keep a large stock always on hand.
Few intelligent men doubt the great waste
OF feeding cattle at the stack in the win
ter, and yet they do not provide the neces-
sary Darn room or sheds to protect the
animals and save the soiling of the fodder.

The Best Way to Store Manure.

FARMERS are often perplexed as to the
best means for storing their winter made
manure. AS an almost universal rule they
seem to have liked upon the side of the
barn where there is the greatest drip from
the caves. This practice is so evidently a
wastetul one thatimore careful men adopt
various devices to, avoid the excessive
teaching of more than, an ordinary rain
fall. They pile their manure in large
heaps in the field, put. it under sheds, de-
post it in cellars, and distribute it in small
heaps on the land where it is to be used
during the next season. 1',f -+"utW
q The practice of carting manure directly
to the field where it is to be used is becom-
ing more and more common, and spreading
1t broadcast, to be plowed under or har-
rowed in the spring. -' fl~5 sis
Inc efforts OF agricultural chemists and
agricultural writer's during the first fifteen
or twenty years of the existence of the
science OF agricultural chemistry, were
deVoted chiefly to an endeavor to discour-
age this latter practice They insisted
That the loss by evaporation was so great
that the farmer could hope for only a 1.-THE

careful use of his fertilizers. During the

College at Cirencester in England. prove
clearly that the very best place in which
manure can. be, put, both to prevent
loss and to insure the even distribution

the particles of the soil, is on the surface
OF the field where it is to be used, spread
as evenly as possible, and without regard

How to Render Sandy Land Compact.

zs4.r.s1------ a..
WE have often seen it advised to plow
sandy land shallow, because the SOIL was
already too loose to allow the roots OF the
plants oto , gain sufficient hold On the e
other hand, it is recommended to subsolI
clayey land for the purpose of rendering
it lighter. At first Thought it would seem
as if this advice was correct, but does 1T
accord with our experiences? Is it true
that land is rendered less compact by
working it, and working it deeply? Have
we not all seen that soil dug out OF dram
or pit and then. thrown back, though;oit
more than filled the place from when "
was taken at first, finally failed to MI Inc
excavation from which it was taken VINO
has not noticed the lsunken graves IN mn Inc
burial-yard Of their neghborhood? Iney
were rounded once, what has caused tne
present depression? It is hard to answer
all the questions understandingly, but we
all are witnesses to the truth OF the state
nIent. Every railroad engineer and con-
tractor knows that an embankmenti built
from earth taken from a hill does not,
after it has become settled, contain as
many cubic yards of earth as the cut from
which it was taken would indicate. Some
new arrangement of the particles or some
other cause hasoccasioned this, compress
sion, which, in, road-making, is called
l"shrinkage." ref,c,rn.f,. 60, 49,.
| Now what takes place on large scale
| in roadmaking, occurs on small scale in
blowing or. Otherwise working land for
the purpose Of getting in a crop. The
shrinkage is exactly in proportion to the
depth we1go below the surface. :. In view
Of this fact shall we pillow clayey lands
deep for the purpose Of making them per-
manently mellow? We think not. But
we do, think it would be advisable to not
only pillow deep, but to subsoil sandy
lands, for the purpose of rendering them
more compact. The quality of the soil of
clayey lands. may be improved by bring.
ing the portions that lie deep to the sur
face, where they will be acted on by the
air, frost and perhaps heat but unless
some such foreign substances as sander
vegetable matter be incorporated with it,
it will in short time be more compact
than it was before it was distributed.
fOn the other hand advantage will doubt
less, come from blowing sandy land as
deeply as possible Where the object is
to prepare the soil for a hay field or per-,
tmanent pasture, it is not improbable that
Eby means of deep blowing, we break up
the somewhat regular strata of sand of
different sizes and mingle one with the
other, thereby causing the whole mass to
occupy less space than before, the same as
we can pack a given amount of shot of
different sizes together closer by mingling
the different Sizes than we can by placing
them in regular layers according to their
size Prairie H1r11e7,-

MO PREVENT GUNS. FROM RUsTINe.-
For the benefit of such of our readers as
pride themselves on the condition in
which they bring their guns into the field,
i etfer the following recipe, given me by
a sportsman of no little experience, and
which l tried on is;recommendation and
found to be perfectly satisfactory. 1t is
as follows: 20 OF. finest olive oil, / u or.
spirits turpentine. This is to be rubbed
on the gun barrels with a rag, and also
inside, leaving them with the oil on and
not rubbed off until wanted to be used.
This, during any damp, weather, | am sure

'.a THE BEST BREED OF, Cows, In late
article discussing this question the Neao
England Farmer remarks: "The CUES
ton, then, which isthe.best breed of cows,
like the question which is the best grape,
must be answered by reference to local
considerations There is no one breed of
cattle, and no one grape, that is best
throughout our widely extended country,
with it's great diversity efseil and climate.
That breed or plant is best for any locali-
ty, that is best suitedto the soil or climate,
or that can best resist the obstacles to its
thrift and population. Weiwill close with
a single remark-never' keep a poor COW
of any breed, and especially never at
'tempt'to raise her progeny:"iin3i7si gdl 10
To CLEAN Ass.-Rub the surface, of
the metal with rotten stone and sweet oil,
then rub off with piece of cotton flannel,
and polish with soft leather. A solution
of oXalic acid rubbed over furnished brass
with cotton rag soon removes the tar
nish, rendering the metal bright. The
acid must be washed off with water and the
brass rubbed with whitening in powder and
soft leather. When acids are employed
for removing tie oxide from brass, the
metal must be thoroughly washed after
wards, or it will tarnish in few minutes
after beib gexposed tothe air. . A. mixture
