USE OF MUCK.

Farmers. on small wheat farms often find
it difficult to keep up the fertility Of the
soil. not being able to keep enough stock
to make manure. These same farmers
buy costly and sometimes useless artificial
manures, little thinking that The muck of
their swamps and river beds, ifjudiciously il
applied, would greatly ado to the fertility
OF the soil. l tried three experiments
with it last season, on three different crops
clover, wheat and potatoes on three
different kinds Of soil. The clover grew
on light. sandy loan. The field was sum-
mer fallowed for wheat two seasons be-
fore, and received heavy coat OF barn
yard manure. Last spring l picked ont
the poorest strip in the field, and top
dressed it with muck at the rate of forty
loads to the acre. The result was wonder
full. That strip, in comparison to the rest
of the field, yielded one ton more to the
acre. The wheat grew on gravslly
loan. The field was prepared in a SUM
ner fallow the year before, and received
a heavy dressing of barn-yard manure
all except half an acre. on which twenty
loads of muck were spread. The straw
on this spot grew stronger and healthier
than on any other part Of the field. Ihad
no chance of comparing the grain. The

shale. Those that received muck were
large and dry. with very few small ones,
while the potatoes on the rest of the field
were OF poor quality and too small for
market purposes. To prepare muck
properly, it should be hauled out of the
swamp in the spring, piled on a dry knoll,
and mixed with a liberal supply Of lime,
ashes, and common salt. During the sum-
mer it should be turned over three or four
times, until thoroughly pulvcrised and the
compost thoroughly mixed, Leave it to
the action of the frost during the winter,
and apply to the land in the spring Every
! intelligent farmer knows that the liquid
manures are gilmore value than the solids.
There is sometimes great difficulty in saw
ing them, especially if the stables are built
on a hillside. Now, muck is powerful
absorbant, and if used freely as bedding,
and in pits beside and under the stables,
the liquid excrements would be saved.

cAREEuLNEss IN OLD ACE.

An old man is like an old wagon
with light loading and careful usage
it will last for years but one heavy
load or sudden strain will break il
and ruin it for ever. So many people
reach the age offifty or sixty or even
seventy measurably free from most
of the pains and infirmities of age,
CHEEKY in heart and sound health,
ripe in wisdom and experience, with
sympathies, mellowed by age, and
with reasonable prospects and oppor
tunities for continued usefulness In
the world for a considerable time.
Let such persons be thankful but
let them also be careful. An old
constitution is like an old bone
broken with ease, and mended with
difficulty. A young tree bends to
the gale, an old one snaps and falls
before the blast. A single hard lift,
an hour of heating work, an evening
exposure to rain or damp, severe
chill, an excess of food, the unusual
indulgence of an appetite or passion.
a sudden fit of anger, an improper
dose of medicine-any of these, OF
other similar things, may cut off q
valuable life in an hour, and leav e
the fair hopes of usefulness and en-
joyment but a shapeless week.

sweets of her lips-yes, as hum

without the shadow of foul suspicion.
One eve, in the dewy stiffness,
spied her fair form leaning languidly
on her fathers gate. l approached,
and timidly slipped my arm loving.
ly about her waist. She sighed not
sweet girls,-but spasmodically
dropped her head, face upward, on
nay shoulder.
Invent for those lips, and touching
with mine, she hove sigh which
blasted my love and knocked the kiss
into undergraduates. Whe'o! she
had been eating onions.

A wife of nearly ten years, having
given her servant a holiday, was at

thought she would surprise her hus'
band when she heard his come into
the kitchen, by putting her hands
over his eyes and imprinting kiss
on his brow, as in the days of the
honeymoon. The husband returned
the salute with interest, and asked,
as he disingaged her hands, "Mary,
darling, where is your mistress ?"
The wife discharged "Mary, dar-

new way of surprising her Inns,
