Manures.

There is no one question which more vi
tally affects good farming, or growing of
continuously good and large crops, than
that of manure in quantum sufficit, togeth-
er with superior quality. Of all kinds of
manure there iB one only that finds favor
alike with all farmers, as it never fails, and
that one is stable manure. There are no
two ways about it; theory or speculation,
doubt or misgiving need never attend its
application on any arabic soil. Why sta
BILE and barnyard manure never fail is
question which few think about, it having
become so fixed fact that all take it for
granted, an axiom which needs no demon
stration or proving. The reason why it
never fails is because it contains all the ell
ements which plants require to build up
their structure in an available form. Plants
contain but few primary elements, which
If we find out, we therefore can easily tell
what is i'll manure. Knowing all this, what
plants contain and also tho clements of
manure, the chemist cannot gather and
combine those elements to form u manure
which will act with such uniform certain
ty MS when the manure is elaborated
through the animal system, although we
would not here in the least disparage the
value of chemical science, for chemistry
has untolded untold facts, and immensely
aided in the progress of agriculture as an
art as well as science. Chemistry when
applied in aid of Nature in natural way
is of large advantage in developing Nature
to the profit of the farmer, and to that must
the farmer look for supplementing his
farm yard and stable manure, as it is al
most impossible to collect the latter in suf-
ticient quantity for all farm purposes Cor.

A Market for Old Hats.

We find the following odd story in the
London Academy:
The group of islands known as the Nico-
bars, situated $50 miles south of the Anda-
mans, has been but little explored though
the manners and customs of the inhabitants
of these islands offer very interesting pecu-
liarities to the notice of the ethnologist.-
One of the most noticeable of these, and one
which seriously affects the trade of the
island. is the passion for old hats, which,
framework of society. No one is exempt
from it. Young and old, chief and subject
alike, endeavor to out vie each other in
the singularity of shape no less than in the
number of the old hats they can acquire
during their lifetime. On fine morning
at the Nicobars. it is no unusual thing to
see the surface of the ocean in the vicinity
of the islands dotted over with canoes, in
each of which the noble savage, with moth
ing whatever on but the conventional slip
of cloth and tall white hat with black
band, may be watched standing up and
catching fish for his daily meal Second
hand hats are most in request, new hats
being looked upon with suspicion and dis
gust. This curious PASSION is SO we'll
known that traders from Calcutta make
annual excursions to the Nicobars with
cargoes of old hats, which they barter for
cocoa nuts. the only product ofthese islands,
n good tall white hat with IL black band,
brings from fifty five to sixty-five good CO.
nuts. Intense excitement pervades the
island while the trade is going on and fam
CIV prices are often asked and obtained-
When the hats or the cocoa nuts have at
length come to an end, the trader generally
lands cask or two of rum, and the whole
population in their hats get drunk without
intermission until the rum also comes to an
end. 1t is curious that in those far away
regions so profitable market should be
found for cast-of specimens of one of the
most disagreeable symbols of civilization.
The same yearning after better things in
more advanced stage may be observed in
Madagascar, where no official is content if
he cannot deck himself out in the furnished
plumage of some long deiunct admiral,
general or ambassador"

| Immediate search made. The party who
were dispatched in quest of her arrived
just in time to find her demonstrating with
the advancing tide, which trickled into
her mouth, in these words, Not anither

at seems that certain country girl in
Scotland thought it quite possible that
| there might be an excess in scrupu Gus re-

the youth to whom she was about to be
united said to her, in a triumphant tone,
'Weel, Jenny, haven't been unco ceevil,'

courtship he had never even given her a
kiss. Her quiet reply was, 'Ou, ay, man

fish bar, when II youth, was somewhat of
dandy, and, l suppose, somewhat short and
sharp in his temper. He was going to pay
visit in the country, and was making great
fuss about his preparing and putting up
his habiliments. His old aunt was much
annoyed at all the hustle, and stopped him
by the somewhat contemptuous question,
