in these receptions, and none who have fallen
into his hands will ever forget his courteous

MAKING AND SAVING MANURE

The wise and provident farmer should
be continually accommodating manure.
Everything that has the least value as a
fertilizer should be carefully collected
and preserved for application to the
toll aud it is astonishing how much
that is generally allowed to "waste it's
sweetness" mot "upon the desert air"
but right under tho noses Of the farmer
and his family, about the house, may
thus be converted from Q disease breed
ing nuisance into q source of health,
pleasure aud wealth. The hen house,
tho psivy, the wood.shod, the sink spout,
the ash heap, the sweeping Of the yard,
the slops from the chamber should all
contribute to the compost heap. Muck
should also bo drawn from the swamp
and piled for seasoning leaves should
be gathered from the forest and from the
fence corners old plaster, bones, refuse
salt, shells, and all kinds of animal and
vegetable matters, that cannot be pther

DO. you say those are little things
Small as they are, they often make all
tho difference between success and
failure in farming.
We advocate tho use Of commercial
fertilizers, but fret lot the farmer make
all the manure hn can at home. Hinti
