ground, is essential to make them dry and
comfortable for man and beast, and yet
much strength is extracted and passed otS
from the manure by the surplus water. 1t
needs no argument, only common observa-
ton, to convince any sensible farmer that
this statement is true. 1t is no less neces-
sary to save manure than TO make it, and in
both respects the barn-yard and its appoint
ments are most important appendages to
the farm. Dry barn-yards we must have,
but how afford sufficient drainage to effect
this purpose yet prevent the manure from
being leached?
The best plan that has ever come under
my observation is the use of what l term
manure yard, built out of doors, without
cover, and of proporti0nate size to the guam
tity for which storage may be required.
will endeayor to describe it. 1t is simply
paved, cemented, water-tignt shallow basin,
round, square or oblong in shape, as may
suit the convenience or fancy of the builder.
The rim should be level, and the inside
paving slope from it evenly to the center.
Directly under this point there should be
cistern, egg-shaped, and laid up with stone
and cemented. From the top Of this cistern
a tube ten inches, or more, square, should
rise as high as the manure ever will be piled.
This tube must be perforated with small
holes, to admit the drainage from the manure
to pass into the cistern. Inside of the tube
place a pump with the spout and handle
above its top.
On this manure-yard the farmer may store
all his manure and make his compost heap.
1t should be located convenient to the
stables and other places where manure is
made. At any time it is ready to receive
muck, sods, leaves-anything to make fer
tilizer. If there is more liquid in the heap,
either naturally or from rain fall, than it can
retain, it drains into the cistern, whence it
may be pumped back on the heap and dis
tributed, thus preventing fire fanging and
promoting decay 1t is at all times easy Of
access for removing the manure or adding
to the heap. The liquid manure may be
used separately or drawn away with the
heap or left to pump over muck sods or
| leaves.
| 1t is the practice of many to pile manure
| in the field, fork 1t over once or twice, and
apply it as top dressing. l am in favor of
| top dressing, believing it by far the best
method of using fertilizers; but when the
barn-yard manure is put in pile in the
| field, where no moisture can be added to it
save what falls from the clouds, much is
sometimes lost by burning. To prevent this,
and add also to the value of the heap, take a
plow and scraper, and scoop out a shallow
basin where the pile is to be made. Then
add the sod and dirt removed to the pile in
alternate layers, with the manure-the more
sods the better. Finish by putting thin
covering of dirt over the pile. 1t is aston
ishing 10 see how easily twenty or thirty
loads of sod may be obtained from fence
| corners and waste places, and how much
they add to the value and bulk of the pile.

Strawberries in Delaware---An
Inquiry.

EDIToRs DELAWARE TRIBUNE Let me
ask your readers as to their experience with
Strawberries during the shipping season Of
1869, what varieties they cultivated, and
carried to market well? Also, how they
found the produce of the Wilson Albany in
its third year ? Were the berries of good
size, and did the beds yield as well as in the
first year?
BY some horticultural writer's it is held to
be the best plan to renew their beds after
the second year, and it is important for
growers to know whether the Wilson can
be depended upon in Its third year, for q
good crop or not.
hope your strawberry friends will write
freely on this subject, as well as that of va
ricties. Yours, truly,
HENRY T. WILLIAMS.

early in the season to break ap their sod,
and then by summer-following the soil
deeply, as often as the weeds become trou-
blesome, they have deep mellow mold for
planting, the ensuing autumn or succeeding
spring. The "Double Michigan Plough
followed by "Mapes' Subsol Litter" stirs
the ground to the depth Of Is or 20 inches
if not too still, and after the whole area has
been turned over, it should be crossed in the
opposite direction, thus pulverizing any
chance spots which may have been acciden-
tally omitted.
Three ploughings ddring the season will
prove ample, and my word for it, the owner
will not begrudge the time nor labor be-
slowed when the future shall fully reward
him with the peculiar healthy appearance
in his trees, which is the sure result of good
culture.
APPLY MANUREs ON THE SURFACE
Summer following is undoubtedly the best
plan to mellow thoroughly new piece Of
land; but when immediate returns are abso-
lutely necessary, potatoes are very suita-
BILE crop, not only before the trees are
planted, but afterward between the rows Of
young orchard would also recommend
applying all stimulating manures to the sur
face after the trees are planted, and not in
corporated with the soil previously, as there
is no doubt whatever that many forms of
disease are impaired to plants by introduc
ing the seeds of fungus through the medium
of the roots. Indeed, we know that certain
forms of blight on the leaves Of apples,
plums and pears originate in this way and
organic manures are always filled with mi
mute spores or naycelium (the reproduc-
tive fragments of rungoid planD which ra-
pidly germinate and insinuate themselves
into the woody tissue of any tree in their i'm
mediate vicinity. Manures of this nature
will also cause decay in the delicate rootlets
or fibres of tree when placed in contact
Herewith, and thus the very worst form of
disease is engendered for most diseases ne
cessarily appearing in the branches and
leaves only, have their origin in the root,
and which an examination beneath the sur
face of the soil will abundantly prove.
have thus, at some length, gone over the
ground of location and preparation of the
soil, which am afraid may prove tiresome
to my readers but could they only appre-
ciate the necessity of careful attention to
these preliminary operations, many hours
of regret, besides much actual loss, would
| be saved to them, in subsequent years.

n1arylaud's Shame.

There are two hundred and fifty thousand
negroes in Maryland, including fifty thousand
children. Last year the State contributed
for the education Of these blacks, just $95l.-
~. OF this sum, Washington and Frederick
counties, which embrace u geod many ke-
publicans, gave $63S, or more than two
thirds. There is thus presented the spectacle
of nearly one. third of the entire population
of a Stale left, as it were, in a condition OF
Ignorance. With folly and short-sightcd-
ness which find no comparison further south,
the whites look with indifference upon this
mass of ignorance, which must, unless over
come perpetuate the vice OF slavery.-N. y.

A Steam Engine, the tuel of which is
crude petroleum, is reported as having been
in operation in Georgetown, d. g., tor the
past two months. The engine is of thirty
horse power, and is supplied with steam by
a thiriy-five foot cylindrical boiler. The
average pressure of steam when Cumberland
coal was used, was thirty-five pounds per
square inch; and with petroleum vaporr,
seventy-five pounds. The latter service Is
performed at the expense OF one gallon ol

Atan anniversary occasion OF Unitarian
society, in Worchester, Mass, the other day,
the pastor, Rev. Mr.. Shippen, in allusion to
his early life, remarked that one of his
ancestors was whipped in Boston for being
a Quaker, and the whole family, leaving
that inhospitable place for Pennsylvania,
were taken by the returning swing of the
pendulum over to the Episcopal church, IN
which faith lac was baptised. This aluson
brought up Rev. L. f. Hale, former pastor
of the same church, who said that one OF
his Quaker ancestors was burned ON Boston
Common at the time Mr.. Shippen's was
flogged there. Mr.. Hale's ancestors did not
| leave the town, however.

SHOOTING AN EDITOR.

NEW York, Feb. Is Patrick T. Mea-
han. editor of the Irish american, was shot
this evening, about IL o'clock. by James
Keenan,, on Broadway. Both are members
ofthe o Neill branch of the Fenian Brother
hood, and had been attending a Fenian
meeting at the headquarters, corner of
Fourth street and Broadway.
Mcahan was, it is said, head and front
Of the opposition to General O'Neill, and
foremost in obtaining the vote Of dismissal
of Keenan,. The meeting broke up about
II o'clock, with feelings of bitter hostility
between the adherents of the Senate and
those of General O'Neill. Meahan, with
friends, Edward ]. Carey, Mckinley, and
others, had gone about quarter of ablock
when, at the corner of Broadway, Keenan, ,
as alleged, stepped behind Meahan and shot
him in the neck.
He was carried into drug store and sub
sequently taken to the home of Carey. The
wound is said to be very dangerous. keenan,
was arrested. A Eve barre.leG revolver was
found on his person, with three barrels dis
charged He fred only once at Meuhan.
The prisoner denies the charge altogether,
and while at the station house he was very
cool.
