Farm, Garden, and Household
Preparing Manure for Gardening.

It seems to be pretty well understood
among the grain and stock farmers that the
manure IS most economically anplied by
hauling upon the field and spreading it
from the wagon in the fan and winter to
ne pl0ughed in on the opening of spring
This practice would by no means answer
our purpose in gardening. The grain raiser
must work so as to save labor without much
regard to the rapid growth of his crops
while the gardener is obliged TO spend great
dea OF labor in forcing his crops as fast as
possible, for the double purpose of realiz-
ing the high prices in early market. and to
clear his land in season for second crop.
We therefore take much pains to compost
and work over our manure some months be-
fore it is needed, 50 that when the time
comes TO apply It, we have it fine and well
decomposed.
we prefer horse manure for our chief re-
rance for several reasons, viz it is indis-
penSable in working hot-beds; it is easily

A Tale of PantaIoons.


4 Davenport legal gentleman went out
one evening last week to have quiet
game Of billiards. He stuck to his cue
for several faithful hours, convivialized
with his friends still longer, and then
went home. On retiring to rest he was
most sjngularlv uneasy, and tossed about
for some time without dropping into that
peaceful slumber we usually derive from
a clear conscience. His lady was annoy
ed, and complained kindly. It was no
use, however; something drove Sleep
from his eyelids. At this iuncture his
lady was taken suddenly i'll chow for
