MILES STANDISH'S BURIAL PLACE.

The Boston Transcript says that
from recent developments it seems
very certain that Miles Stsndish was
buried near the site of the First
Church in Duxbury, Mass. This
was situated on one of two little
mounds or hills overlooking the head
OF Duxbury Bay, at the west of Cap
tain's Hill, approached now by tho
new shore road from Duxbury TO
Kingston. The spot is near the res
idence OF Thomas Chandler. A few
years ago, III excayating a road near
the old church spot, human bones
were found which led 70 the suppo-
sition that tie fgEt graveyard of the
town might have been established
there. A tradition exists that old
DR.. WadsTor.h was in the habit OF
showing the grave Of Miles Standish
to distinguished visitors during the
last half OF the last century, and that,
when leaving his house for the pur-
pose, he proceeded in G southerly
direction to certain cross road lead
ing to the shore Recent satisfactory
proot has been produced that the
house in which DR.. WadsWorth lived
at the time was what is now known
as the "Cashman House." and that
formerly the road ran on the south
side OF the same, leading to the shore
in the direction Of the spot of the old
church. AS there would be, accord
ing TO the suggestions of Capt. Stan
dish's will, three graves on tie
spot, it may Jet be possible to distin-
guish that Of the old Pilgrim Captain.

WATER AS A PKEsERvER OF BUTTER


The Utica HsrGIds dairy editor
says: cater being duly packed
tight the packages may be
placed in good, cold water, such as is
found in good wells and springs any
where. Any such good well water
may be used for this purpose, only be
sure the package is completely under
water always; and If under water
several feet deep it is no detriment,
but probably an advantage. 1t is not
necessary, but probably best, that the
packages should rest on the clear
ground at the bottom of the well, not
that any harm would happen to the
butter, but the outside of the pack
ages might get soiled and muddy. A
deep tank, kept full of water from a
continually flowing spring may be the
most desirable reservoir for keeping
the butter in, if the tank is well GOV.
cred and kept from freezing. No cne
need be surprised If butter stored in
this way be kept for years as good as
when packed. Possibly lard and some
other articles of food may be stored
in this way.

Agriculture i'm Greece.

On the rich, Crissaean plains, within
an hour of the bay of Corinth, the
Homeric piow still turns the earth. 2
stick of hard wood, sharpened and
held point downward, is drawn by OK
or donkey. If the form Of plow is
given, with rude coulter, the acme is
obtained. Where wealth exists and
intelligence is moro advanced, it is
difficult to introduce modern imple-
ments. The attempt was made near
Livadhia 10 use an iron plow of the
pattern approved elsewhere, and the
peasants rejected it and chung to the
fashions of their ancestors. Only the
sickle is used in reapiEg. Grain il
tkreshed on earth-hardened or stone
floors, by the treading of cattle
horses or men, as the Old Testamert
describes the process in the days o.
the patriarchs. 1t is winnowed by
tossing it into the air, and allowing
the wind to carry of the chaff, while
the kernel falls into a sieve shaken by
hand. These methods prevail even
under the shadow of the Acropolis o
Athens. 1t is no wonder that the
donkeys have not much burden Of
harvest to carry to distant markets,
even from fruitful BGotia
Nor is it strange that out OF four
million acres OF arabic land in the
kingdom, only one million snd hall
are under cultivation at all. The gov

these drawbacks, the value of cereals
produced in Greece, according TO the
official figures OF last year, was 81,

exported amounted to SIS, ,34S,S64. OF

How 20 Buy "a Horse,

From the advance sheets Of Rev
w. Il. Murray's new book OF oh
Horse" We extract the following:
Be sure that the horse you purchas'
has symmetry, viz: is well proper
toned throughout. Never purchase
a horse because be has . splendid
development OF one part OF his organ
ization, if he il lacking in any other.
Above all, keep well in mind what
you arc buying for, and buy the
horse best adapted TO the work you
will require Of him and when such
On animal is yours be content. Never
Jockey. An occasional exchange may
be allowable; but this daily "swap-
ing'' Of horses adveTtises q mans s
incompetency for anything higher.
Another caution is this. Never pur
chase q horse until you have seen
him move, and under the same con
ditions TO which he will be exposed
in the service you will expect OF him.
If for a draft,se him draw, back, and
turn around in both directions il
frr the road, see how he handles HIM
self, not merely Oh level ground, but
going up sharp deciiYiLies, and,
above ali, in descending them. In
this way You will ascertain the faults
or excellencies OF both his temper
and structure.
Ia these exercises drive him your
sell. The reius in 4 skiliful hand,
aided by the whip or mouth, can be
made to conceal grave defects. Let
him move with a loose rein, so that
he msy take his natural gait, and not
his artificial; for. by so doing, you
will detect any mistake of judgment
you may have made when looking
him over in 8 etate OF inactivity.
Many q time unsoundness will appear
in motion, which no inspection OF the
eye and finger, however close, can
ascertain. When you have walked
him and logged him, if he is to serve
in any other than mere draft pur
poses, put him to. his speed, and keep
him at for a sufficient distance to test
his breathing capacity then pull him
up; jump from the wagon, and look
at his fanks inspect his nostrils, and
put your ear close 20 the side of his
chest, in order to ascertain If the
action of the heart is normal. II this
exercise has caused him to perspire
freely, all the better; for you can
then see, when you take him back to
the stable, whether he "dries off"
quickly, as all horses do in perfect
health.

UNFERMENTED MANURE.-Many ex-
cellent farmers have an idea that ma.
nure to be most efficient in raising
crops should be well rotted but this
is a mistake. Manure loses heavy per
centage. Fresh manure, dripping
with animal urine, hauled directly from
the stable on the land and piowed un
der, is worth nearly double that which
he's decomposed TO saponaceous con
sistency. When it is convenient for
farmers to haul manure on corn ground
from the stable, as fast as it is made
it saves handling it twice and forwards
the work in busy Spring time. No
fears need be entertained that the At
mosphere will carry off the STRENGTH
OF the manure if lett on the surface
The only danger to be apprehended
by this method will be in case of III,

Drilling,

The principal advantages derived
from sowing by drill may be briefly
summarized as follows:
1. The seed is delivered with
regularity.
.. 1t is deposited at a uniform and
proper depth.
3. Weeds, during the growth Of
plants, are destroyed with greater
facility.
The plants cultivated receive the
undivided benefit OF the soil, and have
not TO maintain a constant struggle
with weeds.
s. BY the admission OF the sun and
air between the rows, a stronger and
healthier plant is produced, and, o.
course, heavier crop.
6. By stirring the soil it is more
susceptable of benefit from the atmos
phere, imbibing more oxygen and
being warmed aud enriched by the
sun.
7. The soil being pulyerized, the
roots shoot out more freely.
6. Clover and grass seed answer
comparably better in the pulverizatior
produced by hoeing.
8. The grain being put into the
ground at proper depth, the plants
are not exposed to injury by drought
In addition to these considerations
there is another, viz; that the seed il
invariably covered, whereas in hant
sowing a considerable quantity is lei
wholly exposed, and consequently
wasted. And from this fact anOthe
follows, which has been verified by
experience, that twenty-five per cent
Of seed is saved by the drill, and tn
yield is believed to be from ten t.
fifteen per cent. more than by th,
usual modes.
Running the drills north and soutl
also, when practicable, secures another
advantage in giving free access tc
both sun and sir, and thus in a great
degree checking the tendency to rust
