THE ECCLESIASTICAL WARM GER
MANY.-The German government Is still
proceeding with some riGor against it,
ecclesiastical and political adverSarics.
A priest named Lcyrndeckcr, of Dcudos-
field, near Trcvcs, has been sentenced 10
months imprisonment for stating from
the pulpit that PrntcStant> were rogurS,
and that Jews were liars and cheats, who
would rob Christians of the last drop of
their blood His own version of the
passage was that among Protr>tantS
and Jews, ~ among all other bodies,
there were r0gucS and cheats. At Saar-
bruckcn Il lady member of the Catholic
Nercin has been fined leo thalcrs. with
three weeks imprisonment i'm case of
default, for speech dalivrred AT Il meet
ing of that society at Urhack. Herr
Most, a member of the Rch>tag, has
been condemned to nineteen months
imprisonment by the Berlin court for
using language. and for aSpcrsiny the
army. The same tribunal has confirmed
the sentence oftwrlvc months impriSon
ment on Herr Maiunk. the editor of the
Gel7aaHid, for his language respecting
the Emperor and Prince Bismarck.
Four articles of similar character
having appeard since the original trial,
the court increased the fine from 200 to
400 thalerS and added months impri>on
ment. The fine of 400 thalerS imposed
on the Bishop of Padcrborn, who, when
the prosecution WAS first instituted, made
over all hi. property to his brother, has just
been paid by one Of his flock. The court
decided to accept the money in spite Of
the protest of the Bishop, who wished to
undergo the alternative of imprisonment.
Archbishop LedochowSki has now passed
five months in captivity. His health is
stated by his friends to be all that could
be desired. The Bavarian government
have intimated to the Old Catholic that
though unable to give Bishop Rrinkens
express authority to exercise episcopal
func tions; they will offer no hindrance
to his holding confirmation at Kemp
fen. and have declined the Bishop of
Augsburg's request that they should in
terpose to prevent him. After visiting
Silesia and East Prussia Bishop ReinkenS |
will accordingly visit Kempfen.-Loo'don |

Why Don't Farmers Keep Bees i!

Mr. Quinby, of St. townsville, n. Y,
high authority on everything pertain
ing to Bookkeeping, says the AMERICAN
BEE JOURNAL, discusses the above ques-
ton in paper read before the North
Eastern Bee-keepers' Association at its
annual meeting. He assigns four rea-
sons for the neglect of Bookkeeping on
the part of farmers. lst. They don't
know. 2nd. They doubt if it will pay
3rd. They have had such poor success
in Wintering bees. 4th. They are
afraid of being stung.
To these reasons, quite sufficient in
themselves to account for the fact that
very few farmers keep bees, we would
add another-namely, want of enter
prise There is quality for which
successful men of business are noted
which is very scarce among farmers,
and which we call enterprise" 1t
leads to the trial of new and improved
methods; to the making of ventures
here and there on the principle, " Moth
ing venture, nothing win;" to an intel
lgent scrutiny of things generally; and
to energetic action on any direction
that seems to promise adequate reward
for diligent effort.
For some cause or other this quality
is lacking in the great majority of far
mers Were it not so, there would be
more manuring and better tilage of
land; fewer bars and more gates; some
display of taste about rural homes; a
general adoption of improved stock
carefully kept farm accounts; and many
| other things that are as rarely found
around country homesteads as hives of
bees.
Enterprise is the result of education,
and of that sharpening of wits which
comes with the association of minds
and the friction of ideas in the social
and business contracts of life. Agri-
cultural colleges for farmers sons, and
for any who contemplate rural indus
try; the circulation of agricultural per-
iodicaIs and books more visiting and
travel on the part of farmers and their
families; the establishment and ener
getic working of farmers clubs and
such like means, will tend to cure an
evil whose presence is indicated all
around US in bad farming, woe-begone
looking homes, tumble-down fences, i'll
bred stock, absenc of gardens, and last,
but not least, neglect of Bookkeeping.

The BEST MODE OF APPLYING LINE.
AT the Solebury Farmers Club, held

IHE BEST MODE OF APPLYING LINE
At the Solebury Farmers Club, held
February 18th, the above subject was
under discussion, eliciting the following
opinions. We fully agree with the plan
recommended by Moses Eastburn, who
said he thought as soon after harvest
as possible, was the right time to apply
lime, and the place on the wheat stub
BILE. Applied in this way it helps the
grass crop, puts the ground in good
condition for corn, and does not make
oats ripen unevenly. Hampton Rice
had obtained the most benefit froa, ap-
plying lime on the sod the Winter be-
fore the corn was planted Samuel
II. Rice had applied from 700 to 1900
bushels per year for 40 years, on farm
of so acres. 1t had almost made his
farm, but for few years past it b.

PRESERVING AND MAKING MANURE.

A farmer writes to the AMERICAN
FARMER, his mode of increasing his
manure stores, which is worthy of imi-
tation. He says:
In the first place I made good hoe
pens for each lot of hogs and pen the m
every night; feed them with gleani ngs
of the kitchen and garden, with little
corn to make them come up re yularlv.
| kept the pens well Uttered with rak-
ings from an old pond which was near
by, and kept my COW pens. well Uttered
all the time during Summer. In the
Fall had all cleaned CAT and put in pens
packed closely covered the top with
rich eartfr. six inches deep, made the top
a lite rounded or pointed in the middle

have 10 lot for my mules or cows, in
Winter; keep them all in good stalls
we'll Uttered all the time. built
large manure house near my barn where
| keep all my stock. My manure house
is cut up in rooms; as soon as lay by
my crop l take out of my stalls and
pack the manure away closely; if dry,
| wet with salt water and let it stand
till first of January. In addition to
making all the manure l could, hauled
from the river three miles away, twenty
nine thousand pounds of the best set
things could get from a basin which is
often overlooked. 1 hauled the river
mud in Summer and put it up in my
house to get dry. On first of January,
taking all the hands | had, | went to
work weighing every thing on good plat
form scales: LOCO lbs. river mud, 800
lbs. green cotton seed, so lbs salt, mix
ing all well together with pitchforks, put
this in my rooms, wetting with water
and closely packing away-this amount
| put on each acre. My stable manure
600 lbs, 100 lbs. green cotton seed, so
lbs. salt, mixed well together and packed
as above; this amount was applied to
each acre, and this manure cost me only
SO per ton, used small quantity of
Dunham's Guano to test the difference
between homemade and commercial
manures; the result, so far, is decidedly
in favor of the homemade. The guam
tlty of commercial manure applied in
the drill was 200 lbs per acre, costing
Sc; homemade costing $3.50 per acre. |
L have been farming three years, this is |
the fourth, and l have used literally Of |
the commercial fertilizers every year,
but my crop is much better this year
than any year previous to date.
