Saving Manure.

Every man of common sense, must a d
NIT that the rules to be adopted for a ra-
tional system of saving manure, must be
based upon this process and we lay down
the following rules in relation to it.
1. The ground selected for the DISPOSE
ton of stable manure, should be even, in
order to permit the equal distribution OF
the manure on it, and thus secure the heap
uniformly in thickness. Only in this case
the process of putrefaction proceeds reg
ularly in each part of the heap, and its
body proves a homogeneous character.
2. The manure should be protected
against the direct rays of the sun, IN or
der to prevent the too rapid advance of the
putrefaction process, and a consequent gen.
Grafton of heat, which will incur a consid-
cradle loss of ammonia. Practical expe-
rience made with equal weights of stable
manure exposed to the sum-, and with that
under cover, show the effect of the latter
to be within a certain time about twenty
five per cent. greater than the former.
3. The manure heap should be mode
rately moist If it be too dry, the degree
of heat Their produced will volatile ammo
MIA if too wet, an acid hunts will be
formed. which being soluble in water, acts
very injuriously upon vegetation. In or
der best to obtain this end, the ground
should be slightly inclined, and all the
fluid that runs from the heap be collected
in a pit, and from time to time scattered
over the heap.
A single handful of manure put into a
hill of corn, will often make the differ
ence between four or five little nubbins,
and six or eight great plump ears that will
shell their bulk of sound corn. A thou
sand handsful count up heavily in the au-
tumn corn crib. How many handsful OF
manure are lost in your stock yard, that
might be saved in nice order by little
care in heaping up, and covering from
washing rains? These handsful of ma
nure are more valuable to the c%ultivator
than the separate grains of gold that the
miner. with careful toll gathers and wash
es from the earth and sand bank. He
hunts, gathers, and saves them all, and thu:
accumulates his .'pile," Philosophical
successful c~ultivators can see the glitter OF
gold even in the manure heap they only
wait a little longer than the miner, for the
pure gold to be washed out by the grow.
ing process instead of the ~washpan. "a
word to the wise is sufficient"

Rheumatic lameness is far from uncom-
mon in the OK, and seems to depend a
great deal upon the peculiar idiosyncrasv
of the animal. The symptoms are stiff
ness and inability to move, and severe
lameness of one or more of the limbs, which
perhaps in a dag or W will Disappearance
fy to some other part. Thus, lameness in
the shoulder to-day attended with heat and
tenderness, will tomorrow be seen in the
hook or knee and it is this peculiar
fqiaq character of the disease. which ena-
bles the veterinary surgeon to give a posi-
tive opinion as to the nature CT the atfec-
ture of the affection. 1t is usually ascrl-
bed to exposure and wet: and doubtless
many cases owe their origin to this, blu IN
others it appears under the very opposite
conditions. Probably there is a great deal
of truth in the suggestion. that rheuma-
tism is among the objections classed by
some authors with hereditary diseases OF
animals.
The treatment of rheumatism should
consist in placing the animal In a modera-
tely warm place, and giving diet OF a gen.
erous character. Medicine, with the ex-
ception of a purgative, will be useless, al
though in cases where the pain is severe,
the tineture Of acOnste Tin twenty drop
doses,) may be given with advantage.
Friction to the joints will be found bene-
fetal and, where much swelling exist the
liniment of ammoniac, recommended
above for sprains, may be rubbed in daily.
Cooling applications do not seem to suit
this complaint. The arrangements In
the Joints sometimes becomes chronic, n
sbould then be treated with the applica-
t;on of Iodine, either in the form of tinct-

Items for Ladies.

There is nothing new this season in the
fashions for mourning. 1t is rarely worn
now, except in the case of the death of a
very near relative, and even then i t is not
always worn.
No very decided change has been made
since last spring, in the general meahod of
making dresses, though ladies of taste and
skill, adopt many different styles of trim
ming. In fact, it would be a little diff
cult to trim a dress SO as to render it out
of style.
Lace, either black or white, when soiled
can be restored by placing it in milk for
twelve or eighteen hours. The milk be-
comes acid the lace should then be gent
ly washed in it, and afterwards well rims
ed in clean, lukewarm water, and laid out
smooth on a pillow in the sun.
For the benefit of our lady readers. we
will say that they can learn the latest
fashions, and obtain reliable patterns by
investing three dollars, as a subscription
to die Modenweit," an illustrated maya
zine of fashion and fancy work, 391 Canal
street New York.
The open or flowing sleeves have been
revived to a certain extent, and are used
for handsome dinner and house toilets
The coat sleeve, however, with a slight
modification is still the reigning sleeve
For house dresses, they are mostly worn
with a ruffie at the elbow and quite loose
at the wrist, so as TO admit frills OF lace,
which is much worn instead of the linen
cuff.
There has been an unsuccessful effort
made to revive long dresses for street wear.
The ladies are too sensible to return to
them. Therefore, they will be worn only
at home, or on ceremonious OCCASIONS
Skirts are somewhat wider. owing to the
predominance of fiat trimmings over the
ruf1es and founces of last year. A skirt
with plain trimming should be from one
quarter tn one-half a yard wider than II
trimmed with rufles or other full trim
ming.
To make straw frames, get some nice,
smooth straws, wheat or rye is the best
and cut them according to the size of your
picture, only a little larger, so that the
end will form a sort of a cross then take
four or five of the same length, and lay
them side by side, and fasten them in this
position, by taking a very fine needle and
thread and running it through the straws.
Then make another part for the end. and
so on. When you have four pieces made,
fasten them on the picture by sewing the
ends, as / have said before, forming a sort
of cross. Tie this cross with some pretty
colored ribbon close down to the picture,
and YOU have a straw frame.

ONE of the first requisites in butter
making is, care that all the utensils of the
dairy are kept dry and sweet. To accom-
plish this the pals, strainers and pans
must be rinsed with cold water, then
thoroughly washed with soap suds, using
sal soda to break the water if hard a
brush is more effectual than a cloth in re-
moving the impurities that accumulate In
the c~revites of the vessels, which, if allow
ed to remain, will SOW seeds of ferment
t, remove effeetually, use boiling water.
If we examine the subject closely we will
find the cause tor so much poor butter to
be carelessness and neglect in keeping the
utensils perfectly clean and pure.

An Afectionate Sem.

A Youngster attending school in Paducah
has written his mother the following char
acteristic letter Dear MOther: L got an
other cking yesterday. but had on three
pair o'pants, and it didn't hurt much. L
was licked because | put six pins In
Mrs chair. 1 knew they would not
stick him, and L made a bet that they
would not. MI. Twas so mean and hard
that the pins could not go in. Won the
bet, which was a dog. He is a good dog,
and 1 am training him to bite old Hard
Sides as we call him, some night when
he comes home after dark. he IS often
out after dark, and, if lack is as good at
ter him as he is after cats, l won't get
licked any more. lack and L killed three
cats Sunday, though | was at Sunday
school and church all day, and it wasn't
a good day for killing cats either. This
makes the third licking l got this week.
One was because / had a bottle OF milk IN
nv room. and the other was because L
wrote a composition on negroes that old
Hardsides didn't like. / said that a me-
gro was a dark subject to write on. 1t
was like a dark African going down a
dark cellar on a dark night without a light
TO look for a black cat that was not there.
Old Hardsides stopped me and then lick
ed me for that. Send me some more OF
them pies. 1 made a good trade with
some of them. If you will send me five
dollars 1 will stop ali my bad habits except
cursing and swearing and chewing and
drinking and one or two others. You had
better make the trade. Give my love to Ju-
lie. and tell her to send me that little i'd

Kind hearted woman, and she, unconscious

thorough-going straightforward business

ceptible creatures, and circumstances,
scenes and actions always impress. As
you influence them, not by arbitrary rules,
nor by the stern example alone, but a thou
sand other ways, thatspeak through beau
tiful forms, pretty pictures. etc.. SO they
will grow. Teach your children. then, to
love the beautiful. Give them a corner
in the garden for flowers encourage them
to put it in the shape of hanging baskets {;
show them where they can best view the
sunset; rouse them in the morning
ing. not with the stern "Time to work."
but with the enthusiastic, ''See the beau
tiful sunrise !" Buy for them pretty pic
lures; and encourage them to decorate
their rooms in his or her childish way.
Give them an inch. and they will go a
mile. Allow them the privilege. and they
will make your home beautiful.

Of all our domestic animals, there are
none that requires more systematic care
than the horse. A horse should be fed
regularly, and in moderate quantities, and
worked judiciously. A horse fed in this
way may be kept at a moderate cost, and
will be more healthy and perform more
labor. than if fed highly, or as many we
know of, are in the habit of feeding their
horses. They will surely eat enough to
injure them if they can get it. When hay
is kept constantly before them, horses are
apt to spend their time in throwing 1t
around topsy-turvey in the rack, they soon
become dissatisfied with their food, and
lose their keen relish for it. The general
practice should be to feed regularly three
times a day.
