How Much Manure to a Cow.

Carefully conducted experiments show
that COW of the average size will void
about 60 lbs of manure in day, measur-
ing about Il cubic feet, which is more than
three cords, weighing over ten tons for a
year. 1t is the opinion of many good cul-
tivators that three loads of peat or muck
mixed with one load Of COW dung, make
compost quite as effective for top-dressing
meadows as the COW dung itself. If this
were done, we should have twelve cords of
good compost from the solid excrements of
one COW. 1t is further estimated that the
liquid manure is quite as valuable as the
solid. If this were carefully saved by peat
absorbents, kept under the stable, or in it.
it would double the pile, Or be equal to
twenty-four cords of good compost. If
this were spread upon two acres of run
down meadow, producing a ton of hay or
less per acre, it would increase the crop
probably to three tons to the acre the first
year, and the effects of it would be seen
in increased crops for five years longer
In those two acres it would make all the
difference between profitable and unprofit-
able farming for five years. This compost,
if sold i'll many good farming districts,
would bring 81 per cord or 500. Used on
the meadow it would produce much more
in successive crops of hay. This estimate
shows what may be done under favorable
circumstances to increase the home supply
of fertilizers. We have found that moth
ing pays better than labor applied to the
compost heap.

Drive Wells.

A correspondent furnishes Hearth and
Home with the following on Drive Wells,
which is worth knowing:
There are many drive-wells in this vicin-
ity. They are made by driving l. inch
galvanized iron pipe down to the stratum
where water is found. The pipe is then
cut off at the desired height, and cistern-
pump screwed to the top of it. The first
joint of pipe is prepared for driving by
screwing solid iron plug into one end
The plug extends six inches or so, and is
drawn to a point. Just above the plug the
pipe is perforated with small holes one
eighth of an inch in diameter, in sufficient
number to fill it with water. The pipe IS
held securely in perpendicular position,
and driven with maui or sledge-precau-
ton being taken against bruising the end
by using 4 block of hard wood or a piece
of solid iron screwed into it to receive the
stroke. The pump is occasionally attached
to try for water rs the work progresses
When water is reached, the pump is oper-
ated until the sand at the foot of the pipe
is extracted, leaving a chamber or reservoir
The pump must have sand valve "a
valve closing upon sharp edge instead Of
a flat surface, which leaves no resting place
for sand beneath it. Ordinary iron pipe
(gas-pipe) is sometimes used, but the gal
vanized is preferred, being free from cor
rosion.
"The 'drive-well is profitable where
water may be found in a graceHy subsoil, at
depth of twenty-five to thirty feet or less,
and where the pipe may be driven without
coming in contact with large or fixed stones.
Of the pipe should terminate in compact
clay, it could not be pumped out to form a
reservoir; if in quick-sand, the sand could
not be exhausted, but, terminating in
bed of sand and gravel, the sand is readily
drawn, leaving the gravel about the end of
the pipe to secure as reservoir and tilter.)
.'Some of these wells, after the first
pumping, continue to give an abundant
supply of pure water; others raise sand
freqdently or continually-probably owing
to the caving-in of the cavity, and not
enough gravel to make perfect filter
They are much used here for obtaining a
convenient supply of water for mortar
making at new buildings-being driven
wherever desired and drawn when the
work is done.

Julia Knor.-I learned new way of
cleansing kid-gloves from Mrs. Eyebright,
which is very easy and costs nothing
Moisten clean towel in milk, rub on it
little white soap and with this go over the
soiled spots with the glove Oh the hand
1t makes the glove new again. Gentlemen
of slender means and ambitious to sport
immaculate kids may be glad of this bit of
information.
Mrs. Curtis.-I always wear black kids,
and when they are rusty, find the best
way of restoring them is to brush them
over with mixture of equal parts Of black
ink and sweet oil.
CoRN-BREAD.-Three pints corn-meal,
two of rye, one half pint of molassss on
the meal; mix and scald thoroughly; cool
with sour milk, and add the rye-meal and
little salt, with soda enough to correct the
acid in the milk. Have it quite soft, and
bake three hours.

sWe cannot say that even the most care

conclusions of the message are right, and
its recommendations all such that Con
gress should adopt" ''The message
itself is not such one as will be Classed

must prove rather cold comfort for the
second Washington. But in dearth OF
comforts he must learn to be contented

THE NASSACHUSETTS VIEW

One of the boldest claims which we
have seen made in favor of the present
internal revenue system is TO be found in
the report of Mr.. Secretary Boutwell,
H6 insists that ''the prosperous condition
of the country is largely due to the reVe-
nue. system established during the war, by
which manufactures and mechanic arts
have been extensively established. II
has algsys been our understanding that
Massachusetts prOsperod upon the misfor.
tunes of her sister States, but Massachu-
sets is not the country, though Secretary
Boutwell, may think so. We think it al
together probable that Massachusetts, is IN
3 prosperous condition, and We presume
that it is due largely, perhaps entirely, to
the revenue system established during the
war. We are quite certain that a more
iniouitous system never was pcrpetuated,
the profits of which go to the few TO the
great cost of the many. Two more years,

THE GREAT
SPRING AND SUMNER TONIC

Medical treatment has been revolution
lied, and at last the discovery has been
made that Recreation, not PTostrati0a, is
tie true Medical Philosophy. The into
duction Of PLANTATION BITTERS,
prepared with pure st. Croix Rum and
Calisaya Bark, opened the eyes of tie
world to this great fact. The sustain
ing principle embodied in this great Vege-
table Restorative Is manifested in the weak
and responding by an Immediate and most
encouraging change. If the appetite has
failed, it is quickened; if digestion has
been painful and imperfect, it becomes easy
and thorough; if the liver is torpid, it is
reused and regulated; if the nerves are re-
Ia1ed, they are strengthened and restrung;
if the brain has been haunted by morbid
fancies, they are put to fight, and hope and
cheerfulness return. In the face of the ex-
traordinary cures of general debility, dysr
pepsia, biliousness, constipation and men
tai dependency, wrought by Plantation
Bitters, no practitioner not in league with
death and the undertaken could persist in
it. The terrible evacuents which were once
prescribed as the spring and summer med
icines, have utterly lost their prestige. The
sick viii not take them, and Plants.ion

SOUTH CAROLINA ELECTION EN-.
PERIENCE,

The Hon. e. G. Bowen, who arrived
recently in Washington from South Caro-,

of a contested election ever brought be-
fore any Congress. The Washington cor.
respondent of the New York Tribune

''Hc says that the worst election frauds

those perpeirated in every part Of South
Carolina. The State election law, which
was enacted last March, affords every IA
cility TO dishonest managers and super
yisors of election. BY its provisions the
Governor is directed to appoint in each
county a supervisor of elections, who, in
tmn, appoints three managers in each
election precinct. After the polls are
closed the managers arc allowed 10 have
the custody Of the ballot-boXes for three
davS at the end of which time they must
make a return. In many cases in South
Carolina the managers of elections were
candidate: for the Legislature or for
county offices, and could, therefore,
during the three days that the ballots were
ia their possession fix them 10 suit
themselves. Mr.. Bowen says that he can
prove that in many precincts the ballos
cast by the people were taken from the
boxes blythe managers aud Others substi-
tutcd for them before the count was made,
and that when il was found chat even
then their opponents would not he de-

dates The Only place in South Carolina
where an honest election was held was
