A CANADIAN who was engaged recently
on the brow of a hill, near Pittsfeld,
Mass. in cutting timber and rolling it to
the bottom, endcavored to manipulate a
log for safe descent, but discovered that
it was getting the better of him. He
was on the under side. and it would not
do to "lst it slide" so he screamed for
help. But no help came. His strength
was surely and rapidly failing, and there
was nothing to do but to run for it and
run he ida fearful race. The natural
philosophers say that log gains in ra-
pidity as it descends. It is otherwise
with human legs on a run, even when, as
in this case. the descent is steep and icy.
There was no turning out, and the log
gained with terrible rapidity on the fright
ened Canuck, and was how just on his
heels, when luckily he spied hollow in
his path into which he popped with a
bound, but had barely time to huddle
himself into his hole, when crash crash!
the log thun6ered over him, and left him
safe. but about the most badly scared
man that ever halloed.

"WHIsKEY HAS USED HIM Up
There is scarcely community or neigh

this saying is not used almost every day
in the year. and altogether too truly. A
subject of this kind is found in almost
every town. The merchant has failed,
and whisky has done it. The lawyer with

ty and confidence. Whisky was the sole
cause. The politician, with bright pros
poets before him, has played out, and the
account is charged to whisky. The judge

Of private and neighborhood talk. His
enemies point with derision, and his

THERE is something touching in the
ingenuity displayed in dunning their de-
liquent debtors which tradesmen grown
desperate sometimes display. Thus a
hardware merchant in Knoxville, Tenn,
declares in an advertisement that "a
hardware business can no more be carried
on everlastingly without money than a
deg can wag his tail when he has none.

APPLICATION OF MANURE.

Manuring in the hill for hoed crops was
at one time very common, and even now
some farmers not only apply the econom-
ical but barnyard manures in that manner.
When boy have spent many day in,
putting common yard manure in the hill,
for both corn and potatoes 1t was usual
in the case of potatoes to first drop the
seed In the furrow, put on a small amount
of manure and then cover with earth, but
the corn was either dropped on the ma
nure or little earth put on 1t first and
then covered /; but at this time no we'll
educated farmer thinks of blowing in his,
manure, or of putting it in the bill with
the seed. | have often stated that the.
value of these so-calle6 fertilizers was
more in their mechanical and chemical
effects, than in the plant food that they
supplied. The surface soil of my farni
contains 10 per cent. of silica or sand and
l3 per cent. of organic matter; II per
cent. of salts, and this is a very fair SAM
pie of good prairie soil. Now the soil Of
the St. Joseph prairie distric.. from
whence come these inquiries. is al arena
cious soil. with probably 80 to 90 per cent.
OF sand, and a corresponding poverty Of
organic matter salts. But if we examine
a little further we find fertile soils that
contain from 80 to 95 per cent. of silica.
III Lnk h.
phere is the great storehouse of plant food.
and not the soil, but that the soil is tho
plant food holder, from whence the plant
directly draws its supply. Taking this
view of the action of soils we can see at
glance that the manure must be intimate
ly mixed with the soil, or 1t must tie placed
on the surface 80 that the rains and dews
could extract the plant food out of it, for
no plant can take plant food in so gross
condition as is presented to it In this
condition. One great value Of manures
in sandy soil is its attraction of moisture,
but to do this it must be internally mixed
with the soil, but should not be put in
the bill with the seed. One wagon-load
of manure, spread on the surface Of a
field, is of more value than two or three
plowed in deeply. for the simple reason
that it is in no condition to give up to the
plants the small amount of food it con-
tains, or to become plant food-holder.
trust that enough has been said to show
that manuribg in the hin, to say the least
is very unscieuti6c. -"Rural," IN Chi

BEES IN TUE SPRING.

As spring approaches, our care must lie
more vigilant for when cur bees are win

the change of weather affects them at
once. The warm days stimulate the
queen to laying eggs, and as the young
larvae are voracious feeders. and in the
case of light supply of honey, the srst
thing we may know is, that the store is
exhausted, and the swarm dead. We
must, therefore. look the swarm over at
least once a week, in order to know their
precise condition, and if short of honey.
to give them a new supply, in the frames
if We have a surplus in other hives If
not, we must fall back on melted sugar,
feeding it daily. or we may give rock
nearly one hundred swarms out of doors,
nearly all of which have a short supply Of
honey, is feeding horchound candy He
has been able to obtain a quantity of brok
en- candy at Is cents pound, which he
thinks quite as cheap as sugar, and, thus
far. he is highly pleased with the expert
ment. 1t requires much less labor than
the sugar, as it appears that they do not
store much, if any, of it in the combs
He thinks the aroma of the candy just
suits the taste of the bees.
1t would be well. perhape, ir this con-
neotion, to guard the bee-keerer against
the in1iscriminate use of broken candy,
as 1t is well known that the coloring.mat-
ter of candies is very poisonous, such as
arsenite of copper, and other similar pig,
ments. J he horehound and rock candies
are free from these poisons.

rye -four to supply the place Of pollen.
There Is no doubt that it will assist in
forcing the brood, but the propriety of
this might well be questioned, as we have
plenty of time for this purpose in the nat
ural order of things. In seasons of drouth.
when there are few late bees, it might be.
more admissible, but even then it is ques-
tionable, as [ have shown on former &C.

The Fashion able Spring Bonnets.

The display of new spring bonnets
made on this occasion was the first public
one of the season, and exceeded in style
and beauty those of any previous year.
The combinations were extremely novel
and many of them very effective. Frou-
frou aud wine color upon white chi p
formed striking contrast more delicate
WAS the association of a pale cameo tint
with turqaise blue and apple-blossom
with very light shade of peacock color.
Positive culors seem a m ,st abandoned,
tints are the rage, and are well adapted
to the soft delicate materials of which
bonnets and their trimmings are compos
e6.
A few bonnets are composed of silk
and the ''long" English Grape, which
has heretofore only been made in black,
and this season appears in colors for the
first time, but the majority consist of
straw, English or Italian. and chip. the
dead whiteness of which is softened and
rendered more becoming by the fine light
blues, and green. and tufts, and pinks,
and myrtles of the trimming.
A very handsome lace bonnet was
| trimmed with lace mixed with nasturtium
color; spray of darkly tinted begonia
leaves to which branches of black currant
were attached, formed the principle orna-
mcnt.
Everything depends upon the make
up of the bonnets this season, the
shapes being, so far, totally devoid of in
divi1uality and expression. The later
spring importation may develop styles
more distinctive, but at present the at
traction rests with the colors, the mater
ials, and the artistic skill of the milliner,
No more remarkable change in fashion
has been effected than that which has
taken place in colors during the past few
years. From few positive colors. with
their simple standings almost distinctly
marked as the colors themselves, we have
developed an almost infinite variety of
charming tints, pale, scarcely tc be de
fined, but exquisite as the reflections of
light and shade, as the simmer of the
sunshine, as the changing hues of spring
and autumn, and the different tones of
earth and sky. The use and proper
blending of these tints is to-day the most
distinct indication of cultivated taste and
personal refinement. 1t is becoming a
cardinal principle in ladies' dress to avoid
the contrast of positive colors, and so
harmonic tints as to present fine and
complete whole. -NeU York World.
