NlanuFes do not Leach Down.

Mr.. Miller says "manure applied in
a; green state, and plowed under, and
the greater portion of it remaining a
number of inches below the surface
nearly year, much of this has gone
too far down to benefit the next CROP
Now, if the above theory is true, why
is it that, on land that has been ma
nnred for thirty or forty years, the
deeper We go down the poorer the soil ?
1t seems to me that. there must be q
mine Of manure underlying our farms.
and that it is about time that we went
down after it.
Ii this theory is true, how does he
account for the fact that when the ma
nurc is plowed under on part of a lot,
and the other part left without any ma
nurc, and the whole planted to corn.
the corn on the manfred part is much
better than it ison the unmanured part.
and that the oat crop following the
corn will be greatly benefited by the
manure, and the clover will take better.
and g. i've larger yield of hay for several
years?
In blowing corn stuble previously
manured, farmers generally plow one or
two inches deeper than they did when
they plowed under the manure. and I
think this-on all ordinary soils-will
bringsup all tho manuriaI element not
used by the corn. 1 do not think there
is near as much danger of manures
wasting, covered up with soil. as there
IS to leave them through the summer

An Ear Suit.

A Now York gentleman lost a por-
ton of one of his cars. This curtail-
ment of his beauty worried him so
that he determined to find some deft
artisan who would make him an artiti-
cial organ. It was to be durable in
material, Aesh-like in color, and so
built that it may be worn with case and
comfort. He found his man, paid him
5000, and went off with, not on, his
auricular. Proud rs boy with a
brand-new top, he tried on his ear, but
after time found that the wearing of
it caused him intense pain, and that
under the sun it lost it's delicate pink
color, and tanned much more rapidly
than the other and genuine nearer.
This set him upon his car and started
him into court to sue the maker of his
broken member. The defense was that
ear-making was an experiment., against
the success of which the defendant
warned the customer, who told him
that he must have the ear, cost what it
would. The workman expended much
time upon it, making it ns close an
imitation Of the natural ornaments as
an artificial car could possibly be made.
The plaintiff got back fifty per cent. of
his investment.

The Water Power of Michigan.

The Detroit Tribune publishes m in
tcresting paper by Prof. Winchcll, for
merly State Geologist of Michigan,
upon the amount of water power in that
State. He illustrates this point by
selecting three rivers, the Huron, the
Grand, and the Black. From his table
of elevations taken in Washtenaw
County, he estimates that the aggre-
gate water power of the Huron in chat
county amounts to j, 567 horses, having
a net value of over a quarter of mil
lion of cotton-spindles. His calcula-
ton with regard to tho Grand River,
from jackson to Grand Rapids, give an
aggregate of s2,53S net horsc-powers
for twenty flour hours in the day, while
the Black River, in the immediate
vicinity of South Haven, furnishes a
constant power of 1876 horses. While
these results have no special signiti-
canoe so long MS steam is comparatively
inexpensive, Prof. Winchell thinks
they are of value considering each
years diminution of the fuel supply.

Pntrons Plantin9 Trees and Vines.

=
The Rural Sun suggests: Let. each
Grange require every member to plant
out one or more fruit trees or grape
vines (Which duty might be held as a
dcbtagainst the member until the proper
season occurs.) If the custom is per.
manently fixed, that there shall be as
many fruit trees set out rs there arc
meetings of the grange, it will convert
even fencc-corners into places of profit,
and supply IN immense amount Of fruit
to the country without feeling it pecu-
niarily or Otherwise. On old fields
where scarcely anything else will grow,
peaches and grapes, plums and cherries,
may be made to yield in prodigal profu-
sion. By all means, the fence-corners
around the farm should be devoted to
this purpose. At present they are usu-
ally given up to briers and bushes, and
form uncouth borders to our farms.
