they will not be in the way when draw
ing in hay and grain in the summer.
Then begin by pitching all up clean
from the bottom. This is important, as
any straw or other litter left under the
pile, which has not been forked over,
will not rot but come out about as
coarse as it was when covered up. The
sides of the pile should be carried up
as near perpendicular as they can be
conveniently made, and the top left a
little dishing, so there may be little
chance for loss of manure by washing,
the piles should be ubout five feet high,
and as wide and long as the manure
within convenient reach will make them.
OF course several piles will be made,
each placed SO as to be most convenient
to the manure, and at the same time out
of the way of other work. If the piles
are we'll made, and contain a suitable
preparation of straw or other absorb
ents, there will be very little loss from
evaporation, or by washing rains

Adams and Jefferson,

Mr.. Parton, in defending Mr.. Jeffer-
sons religious character, in his sketchy
way, in the July Atlantic, brings in
comparison with it that of some of his
contemporaries. He says:
Mr.. Adams, however, was by far the
more impatient of the two with popular
creeds, as he shows in many a comic
outburst of robust and boisterous con-
tempt. He presented his utter inabili-
ty to comprehend that side of human
nature which made people object to
paying a pittance for his new navy
yards, and eager to throw away their
money upon such structures as st.
Paul's in London, or st. Paul's at
Rome AS for the doctrine of the
Trinity, he greatly surpassed jeff rson
in his aversion to it. He scolded JEFF
ferson for bringing over European pro-
fessors, because they were all infected
with Episcopal and Presbyterian creeds
and all believed that that great princi-
pie which has produced this boundless
universe, Newton's universe, and Her
schel's universe, came down to this little
ball to be spit upon by Jews. Mr..
Adams opinion was that until this aw-
full blasphemy was got rid of there will
never be any liberal science in this
world. And yet he escaped anathema.
Mr.. Jefferson, on the contrary, was de-
nounced by the pious and moral Ham
ilton as can atheist"

Pile up the Manure.

Yes, pile up the manure, and don't
let any lie scattered about the yards.
We have had, in most sections, a wet,
backward spring the land has been
soft, and it has been difficult to draw
manure on the fields. Help has also
been scarce and high, and the weather
bad so we may conclude that less than
the usual amount of work has been
done, and that more than the usual
amount of manure is still left in the
yards,
Many farmers save. pile and rot their
manure, so as to use it for a top dress
ing for wheat in the fall. Such farmers
have doubtless taken up their manure
as soon as the stock was taken from the
yards. But many others, who are not
accustomed to this practice, have their
manure still scattered over the yards
Just as it has accumulated through the
winter and spring. These farmers may
yet gain largely by piling their barn
yard manure and would suggest that
this manure be we'll piled and rot
ted, and used Just before sowing to top
dress the land for winter grain. Ma
nure applied in this way will give the
young plants an early and vigorous
start, and give them a better growth
and root, so they will stand a better
chance to live through an unfavorable
winter and spring, and to yield a salts
factory crop at harvest. This top dress
ing will also be of considerable benefit
to the new seeding in spring, which is
generally sown on grain, and give
much better crop of clover or grass.
Where a good meadow is desired, it will
be of special benefit to the coming crops
of hay. If winter grain is not sown, or
the manure is not needed on the land
sown, the manure may be spread on clio
yer or grass land, in the fall, that is to
be pIowed up the next spring for corn.
Manure used in this way often pays bet
ter than when applied in the other way.
I have for some years been of the opin-
ion that barn yard manure, as made In
most grain sections, where there is more
or less straw and other coarse litter
mixed with the dung, pays much the
best when piled, rotted and applied to
winter grain or grass in the fall. Where
there is not much straw or other litter
with the manure, and no good absorb
ents are at hand to mix with it to make
4 compost, probably the sooner the ma
nure can be used the better.
In pilling manure, care should be Ia |
Ken to locate the piles in the yards so |

On a. Bender.

"Olivia, writing from Washington to
the Philadelphia Press contributes this
anecdote to social history:
Once upon o time one of those giant
intellects of past generation gave a
large dinner at one of the fashionable no.
tells at the capital. A private table had
been set in one of the parlors, the hour
of the feast had arrived, the guests
were assembled, the dinner was perfect,
but establishment reigned supreme, for
the host himself was nowhere to be
found. Among the guests might have
been seen the majestic forms of Cass
and Benton. Massachusetts was repre-
scented by the immortal Webster, whilst
the great commonwealth of Pennsylva-
MIA had contributed her most distin-
guished son in the person of James Blu
chanan. Forrest was there, enveloped
in the rosy rays of his dawning fame,
whilst the author of the A." Anecdotes of
Public Men" might have been mistaken
for youthful Apollo, or some other
equally faultless heather god. A YES
sci with crowded sails at sea without a
commander, a balloon in the upper
stratum without Prof. Wise in the bas-
ket, the political ring in Pennsylvania
without Simon Cameron, could only
represent the situation. But james
Buchanan, with his superb grace and
inimitable tact, managed the social ship
whilst it was in the middle of the brea-
kers. Gentlemen" said the lordly
Buchanan, "weI were hidden here to
partake of this fine dinner. The wine
is cool, all things seem ready. It is
true, the host is absent, but that is no
reason why SO good feast should spoil.
Be seated, friends +! Life is brief. Let
us enjoy ourselves /" The hours few
away on nimble wings; course after
course groaned upon the table. The
honest wines of those Apician days
dubbed, sparkled and disappeared.
The air was heavily charged with the
electricity of genius, yet in the absense
of the host all was serene. At last the
hour of departure came. It was eleven
o'clock. The door. opened, and there
stood the host.
Angels and ministers OF grace, de-
fend us His battered hat sat jauntly
on one side of his handsome head.
His sharp, white teeth still chung to the
fragments of fast disappearing cigar.
Gentleman" he began, "Tve been to
Georgetown, hic" said Mr.. Buchanan
to some of the more youthful of the
company, "Take this man to his room !;
he might say something he would re-
greet, ;" and so the host was lead, without
opposition, away. Next day, when ex-
plantations and apologies were duly set
forth, they were received in the kindest
spirit, because Mr.. Buchanan had paved
the way for them the night before by
saying to the company "Our host has
been unfortunate. The misfortune
might have overtaken us. We have
been spared. Let us be merciful to
ourselves and avoid Georgetown" In
those days the duels were fought in
Bladensburg, but the "larks +" were
caught in Georgetown.

How TO DRY SWEET PoTAToEs.
correspondent of the Rural Sun writes
&" In 1871 I cut the vines to all my po-
tatoes, except one row, before sunrise
the morning of the first frost, and dug
the potatoes that day. During the first
three weeks I think one-third or one
fourth rotted. Very few afterward.
I left the vines of the expected row.
untouched for nearly three weeks.
They had nearly disappeared. I dug
the potatoes, only two or three bushels,
placed them beside the others, plank
separating them. I think not pound
rotted. They were eaten however,
when the others were used up, say with
in two months from digging. It may
be proper to say that the last averaged
less than half the size of the first lot.
Since that experiment am in no hurry
to dig my potatoes, and later partial ex-
periments only strengthen my opinion.

SUMNER BLANKETS FOR HoRsEs.-
Blanketing horses in summer has now
become an acknowledged necessity and
light blankets are now an important
portion of the harness-maker' stock.
The materials used for these are brown
and bleached linen, crims, fannels and
light cotton duck. Muslin sheets are
also used, but these, as well as those
made of duck, are not popular. Linen
and flannel are the favorite goods they
cost more, but are durable and look
well twined braid is used for binding
and joining, and some of the finer quail
ties have monograms or the name of the
horse worked on in very narrow braid
of the same shade of the binding.
Scrims is used more as a protection
against flies than for any other purpose,
and being very light and loosely woven,
requires to be we'll bound and secured at
the seams a strip of light leather
should he stitched on under the braid,
either on the back of the scrims or be-
tween it and the braid the edge of the
scrims must be turned In so that the
outer row of the stitches will pass
through two thicknesses if this is not
done it will ravel and the binding come
off

WINNING GOLDEN OPINIoNs.-Per-
haps no man living has won more gold
en- opinions than DR.. Walker, as the
enormous and widely increasing sale of
his California Vinegar Bitters attest.
We never look into any Of our exchang-
es, but there is a panegyric of the Bit
tiers staring us in the face. Our readers
will say there must be a reason for all
this praise. They are right. The eff
cacy of this celebrated medicine is es-
tablished by evidence which it is i'm
possible to doubt. Among the thou
sands who have borne testimony to its
excellence, there is not one dissentient
voice. In very many phases of inor-
ganic disease it seems to be unfailing.
All disease arising from vitiated state
of the blood are surely eradicated by it.
It is an effectual remedy for pulmonary
complaints, bilious, remittent and inter
mittent fevers, rheumatism and dyspep-
STA. 1t purges the body of all unhealthy
humors, gives tone to the system, and
where the vital powers are enfeebled,
restores their functions to vigorous and
healthy action. All this it does the
more effectually because its operation is
not interfered with by the presence of
alcohol. The Vinegar Bitters is perfect
ly free from any such hurtful Ingredient.
We have always believed that plants
contain the true remedies for disease,
and all the remedies necessary. DR..
Walker is on the line of real progress,
and we hope that he will not rest on his
present discoveries.

FATTRNING FowLs.-The old plan OF
fattening fowls was to put from eight to
a dozen in a coop with an open
front, feeding them regularly three
times day. By employing a rallied or
or barred floor, so that all the dung
can fall through, very good results
may be obtained in this way, though
either of the processes of examining is
now considered quicker and more eco
nomical, as compared with what we may
call the natural plan. The coop must
be arranged so as to be perfectly dry
and free from draught, and should have
a canvas over to draw down and keep
the inmates in darkness. Only fowls
which have run together must be
penned up in one coop, or their disa-
greements will prevent any increase of
weight. Before commencing, the coop
should be whitewashed and the bottom
bars cleaned, to prevent annoyance
from vermin and when put in, the
chickens should be left for several hours
without any food at all. This is essen
tial, and the neglect of it is why many
amateurs, in their first attempt in fat
tening their surplus, completely fail as
the birds, being naturally fretful at
their confinement, refuse to eat heartily,
and rather pine away whereas, by well
fasting them before any food is given,
they begin to feed at once. The guam
tity must be measured by the appetite,
and none, on any account, left; but
clean, fresh food is given, as much as
can be eaten without leaving, and wa
ter being supplied at the same time.
When the feeding is done the canvas
covering should be drawn down, and
the birds left in darkness till an hour
before the next meal. The times of
feeding must be observed with the
greatest punctuality, or the fowls will
fret and lose condition. The best food
will be a mixture of barley-meal and
oatmeal, or buckwheat-meal with the
husk sifted out, and mixed with milk.
A little suet or lard added is recon-
mended by some good authorities, and
increases the fattening, but only to the
advantage of the basting ladle. The
process will be completed in from fif-
teen to twenty days, and should be
carefully watched as when the proper
point is once reached, the chickens, If
not Immediately killed, rapidly decline.
