Covering Manure.

1t is remarkable that more attention
i not given to the subject of covering
manure from the weather. and especial
Il from too much rain. Those who
have given the matter particular attcn-
ton have found that manure 81 protcc-
ted is worth double that which is left
ont in the open air. Two loads for one
is Il profit few farmers can afford t" lose.
There is no question which :" vitality
concerns the farmer IS this one of ma
uurc. Much that he does has reference
To it. Straw Is not to H." sold because
il makes manure. Stock Is fed through
the winter for tn" express purpose OF
manure making. Articles which scarce
IL pay to send To market. are ncNCrth he
less taken to the city in order that ma

load and yet the whole of the manure

make seasonable suggestion to young
gardeners, on the best mode of keeping
clean grounds, and raising good crops,
at little cost. NOviccs commonly allow
weeds to get several inches high before
they think of clearing them out and de-
stroving them. Now. the great secret
of cheap and successful cultivation is
to Kill all recdS before they come up. Go
over the bare surface of earth us often

Potash on Fruit Trees.

DR.. George B. Wood, in late com
municaton to the American Philosoph,
ical Society, in Philadelphia, presented
the result of certain experiments made
by him upon the effects ofsalts OF potaS-
sa, when applied to grain or fruit pro-
ducing soils. In his view. the depre-
citation of the productiveness of apple,
peach and ounce orchards is due to the
exhaustion of potash from the soil.
Several such orchards, formerly very
valuable. but which had within Il few
wears ceased to bear much fruit, on be-
ing treated with an application of wood
ashes to the roots of the trees, were
completely revived, producing full
crops the following year, under re
newal Of the application. Hecited sew
eral other instances where the same re-
suits follOwed in one case where an
apple orchard, planted on an old or
chard's site. which had never borne
fruit. was made to produce good crop
| by the application of ashes. Those
wEo have failing orchards and fruit
trees that have quit bearing, should put
ashes around the roots of their trees
which prove il sure remedy.

How to Make the Work of Farmers
Wives Easier

| notice in the last issue of the Guilt
vator that ~. W. :" under the head
inc Of Farmers Wives" asks, "Why
does not some one invent methods Of
making their work easier - TO that
question permit me to reply us follows:
Almost every farmer has it i'll his pow
cr. and can, without any great mcon-
vemeuce to himself, providing he has
the will to do it. lessen the amount and
make easier the labor usually perform
ed 10y farmers wives. For instance,
the summers wood. instead of being i'll
a she'd adjoining the house, where ii
should he is too often left several rods
distant from the house and. where
there j. no boy. and no servant kept, II
too often devolvcs upon the farmers
wife to go this unnecessary distance for
the wood she must daily use.
10 remedy this. the farmer must
either build Il shed adjoining the house,
for wood. etc, etc. or see that Il sup
ply is constantly on hand III the kitch-
en-. thus saving his wife many weari-
some steps.
Ottcntimes the well and pump are in
the yard, and not umtrequently il de

invented to save ''t,nmcI>' wives from
such hard labor! Place il pump in the
kitchen. and connect it to the we'll 10y
