SINGULAR RELICS OF WARzThe
DesMoines Gowa) Register has the fol-
lowing "The eastern papers describe
e singular relic of the war which some
reconstructed Jehnny .Reb exhibits at
Richmond It is two musket balls
welded together into two fat disks, in
separately united by meeting in full
fight ever a battle field The press Of
the East claim that for this oddity
there is no duplicate But there is a
greater curiosity in Iowa. W A. J.
Seals, Of Monroe, has shown US two
mimic balls which were picked up on
the field after the second conflict at
Bull Run. The balls met at right an
giles, and the point of one was buried
half way in the body of the other.
The ball that was struck is bent, and
the striking bullet is fattened, but the
plug end is plainly marked"

THE FENIANs.-Mr. Gladstone.

THE FENIANs.-Mr. Gladstone, in
Parliament, Thursday, said the Fenian
prisoners were well treated, but the
government courted an inquiry on the
subject. Amnesty to Feniau prison
ers, he said, was untimeIy in the pres
ence Of continued violence. The trans
guilty Of ireland was an essential pre-
Ilminary.
Mr.. Bruce, Secretary Of the British
Home Department, has refused a pc
tition for the release Of Col Burke,
the American Fenian convict. The
reason assigned is that Burke partici-
pated in the blowing up ct the Clerk

4 CHURCH BUILT WITH MORTAR
MADE OF WINE. = The Rev, DR..
Prime, the venerable editor Of the
New York Observer, who has been a
famous traveller, and has seen things
which few mortals have beheld. tells
the following story, which would seem
almost incredible if told By less re-
liable man:
Il was in a region in Spain where
wine is more abundant, sometimes than
water. Wine, good wine, better wine
than is in common use in America, is
sometimes used in great quantities IL
stead of water to mix mortar with for
building. 4 church was pointed out
to me that was built with wine-made
mortar, because they had great guam
titles on hand for which they mad no
sale, and it was cheaper to use it than
to haul water a long way to the build
ing site But there was little intern
perance in that region.

Cut Feed for Horses.

An accurate farmer has furnished the
Country Gentleman a statement of his ex-
periments with feeding cut feed and meal
to his horses, accompanied with weighing
and measuring. He cut oat straw about
an inch long with a rawhide cylinder ma
chine, and this chopped straw is then
treated with corn meal and bran mixed in
about equal quantities as to weight, so that
each horse has about bushel of cut feed,
and three quarts of the meal and bran,
twice each day. Sometimes hay is cut
instead of oat straw, or both are mixed.
1t is found that 200 pounds per week of
this mixture of corn meal and bran, added
to the cut feed will keep pair of working
horses in the best condition. This he is
satisfied is less than two-thirds the cost of
keeping them on uncut dry hay and whole
grain. The corn meal alone is not so
good for horses as when mixed with bran.
An excellent meal is made of ground oats.
The fodder is cut by horse power on the
stormy or spare days and stored in large
bins, so as to furnish always a surplus on
hand.

The Tses of Mnnurcs.

VariOusSmanures, when resolved into
their original elements, may be the same
yet, when applied in their different forms,
there is a different result. Thus the con-
centratcd artificial fertilizers are different
from barn-yard manure, and barn-yard
manure is different from mere vegetable
OF purely animal matter in their effect. Ii
is known that vegetable manure has q
good effect upon sand. So clover has an
influence upon the soil aside from its
purely fertilizing effect. There is a chem
ical or other result; it is not clear which.
And we know by experience that leaves
applied in thefall, as soon as they drop,
are most excellent for fruit trees. The
grape vine in particular responds. 1t
seems as if there were too little substance.
But then so it seems with clover.
There is much more fertility accumu-
lated than the clover alone possesses or
draws, SO far as is known, from the at,
mospherc. SO leaves seem to have a mir
| aculous effect. But they should be GOV.
cred as soon as gathered, by throwing q
| little soil over them. When applied, they
! should be spread well around the tree, as
| it roots extend far. So with the grape
vine and in smaller fruits. Berries of all
kinds are profited in this way. Frail as
leaves are, they viii reproduce themselves
| in amount, and that Is considerable
much more, if applied plentifully, as they
| should be, than the leaves on the tree o.
the vine treated, enough to aid much ii
the growth of the branches, etc. This i
true on a sandy or gravelly soil. Where
the roots lie nearest the surface, the leaves
may be applied with advantage on clay.
But the clay must be pulverized, or there
will be little effect Hence, discrimina
ton is necessary as to the soil.
Barnyard manure possesses much tn
same property as leaves, though its appli
cation is more general; indeed this manur
may be used almost anywhere. This
therefore is the reliable manure.
