Spreading Manure.

In going through the country we see
much of the manure drawn out lying in
heaps,-and it is apt to lie there until
spring. VIII people never learn the
great error of treating in this
wayi Here is the principle: Take a
lump of manure, apply it to the soil.
What comes in contact with its outside
the only part that can come in con-
tact-w1H receive some benefit from the
manure; but the rest, the greater part
by far, remains bound up in the lump.
If on the top of the ground, much of
the strength goes off; the atmosphere
gets it; the rest goes into the soil i'm
mediately in contact with it, making
this part of the land too rich, the other
side not rich enough. If the lump is
buried, much the same is the result,
only the ground gets all the strength,
but only that part coming in contact
with it and Immediately below it, thus
giving the subsoil part which should
have gone into the soil above.
1t will be clearly seen that this is an
evil. This same lump, scattered, pull
verified thoroughly, mixed intimately,
all its parts would act at once, and give
all the benefit to the soil, whether ap-
piled at the top and left there, as in
the meadows, or narrowed in, as in the
popular and good way. 1t is the con-
tact of all the manure Mt once that is
wanted. Then it is secured; then it is
immediate in ifs effect.
Now, to draw manure out and let it
remain in heaps as is done, is to treat
it as the "lump" was treated, giving
part to the soil that is in immediate
contact with it, the rest all the while
going into the atmosphere, so that
these heaps are but bigger
"lumps," enriching too much what
they come in contact with, showing
lodged grain or lodged grass where
they were. The rest, faded and de-
prived of its strength, goes to the rest
of the soil, but to do it little good.
The way is, to spread as we draw,
and draw as it is made if possible.
This is the way to get the strength. If
the fluid parts in the stable have been
secured by absorbents, the full strength
will thus be obtained. Close to the
soil, in a fine Cpulverized) condition,
the ground will hold what the atmes-
phere otherwise Gin lumps) might get.
The rains will ram it into the soil; and
in the spring there will be a fine condi-
ton. With the heaps left till the
spring, the ground only in immediate
contact with the mi will be bene-
flied, the rest of the land receiving
nothing during the winter. In the
spring the heaps will be frozen; there
viii be a difficulty of reducing them
finely, and it is a piece of work We
never like to do then. The other land
manure spread in the fall-works up
mellow, and black and rich, all of it /;
here you get the benefit; in the other
CASE you certainly do not.-RurGl NeD

beautiful valley in Switzerland, called
the "Emmenthal," a celebrated doctor
whose name was Michael Suppach.
People of distinction and fortune came
to consult him from all parts of
Europe. Many also came out of curl
osity to visit his wonderful laboratory.
One day quite a party of titled people
were his guests, among whom were a
French marquis and a Russian princess.
The doctor had been conYersing with
his visitors of rank but q few moments
when an old peasant, who had come a
long distance ON foot, entered, to consult
him in reference to his invalid wife.
The doctor turned Immediately from
his great company on the arrival of his
more meanly dressed patient, and was
soon so interested in the details Of the
case, that he forgot the presence of the
others. The old man, though appar-
emily very poor, was of noble appear
ance, and wore a long white beard.
The French marquis, who wished to be
very witty and entertaining, made much
sport of him, while DIR. Shuppach was
preparing the necessary medicine, and
at last be offered a wager of twelve
Lois d'ors, that no lady present, would
kiss ''the dirty old fellow." The Russian
princess hearing these words, madea sign
to her attendant to bring her a plate,
on which she placed twelve Louis d'ors
(about ffty-four dollarsl carried it to
the marquis, who, of course, could not
refuse to add also twelve more. Then
this noble Russian lady, approaching
with reverence the old man with the
long beard, said: Permit me, veneer
able father, to salute you after the fash
ion of my country" She embraced
him and gave him q kiss. She then
presented him with the twenty-four
Louis d'ors from the plate with these
words: "Take this gold as a remem
brance of me, and a sign that the Rus
sian girls think it their duty to honor
old age"

EATING THEIR FRATHERs.-Eating
each others feathers is a habit which
fowls often contract when confined in
yards, but is not, perhaps, fully under
stood. cit is amorbid appetite" says
a writer in the C%ultivator, apparently
induced in the outsetby the impotence
of the fowls under confinement" 1t is
well known that fowls are very fond of
blood, and when moulting, the new
feathers are generally called bloodshot /;
that is, the ends of the quilts, when
quite young, have a drop or so of
blood, which induces the fowl to pluck
for the blood contained in them; and
we have known it to be kept up till
some individuals of the flock, who were
made special victims, were almost en-
tirely denuded of their feathers, and
sometimes have eYen had their entrails
torn out.-COr. Am. Stock Journal.
