Shall Manure Be PIOwed Under?

IT is an important and interesting ques-
tion with all thorough going tillers of the
soil whether it is better to spread barnyard
manure on the surface or plOw it under.
Many scientific writers contend that sur
face manuring is preferable The two
modes each have their advantages. The
preponderance goes with surface manur-
ing; it meets more acquisitions. Par
ticularly with leachy soil is this the case
You want your manure on top, so as to be
longer retained in the soil, longer in
working through. Turned down, it will
drop lower and the upper soil receive
no benefit. But pass it through the upper
soil from the top, either by spreading it
broadcast or by narrowing it in, and you
will get all the benefit that can be secured
on such soil. If manure could always be
covered with light sprinkling of soil, no
doubt it would lose less of the fertilizing
elements than if left on the surface OF il
turned under with pillow. Top-dressing
with manure is frequently practiced; but
in drought with no benefit. But plowed
in shallow, the best results have been OBJ
tanned. If my soil is not so rich
as l wish, fine manure is sprinkled with
my seed and narrowed in. Wheat, bar
ley, oats, almost any grain, will thus
be benefited Corn not, or not so much
this wants the strength below, where the
old top-dressings are feeding it, sward
turned down. This being the case, why
should we plow in our manures? Shall
we plow them in at allS Aye, for corn
this is best For clover this is best,
though good at top to start the young
plants For rough, badly-run soil, heavy
coat of unfermented manure plOwed in is
as good a thing as can be done, perhaps,
This done at the beginning of summer,
and plowed and worked afterward, when
sod and manure are thoroughly decom.
posed, the manure and the soil almost con-
tinuously worked and mixed, made one
homogeneous-this is what is wanted.
The heat will help, will do much good
so will the rains. We have tried this upon
yellow knobs that yielded nothing, having
lain in common. The effect was magical.
What yielded nothing before had now a
crop Of rye that filled the fence, and pro-
duced equally with the best soils.-AgrtoO-

THIS is an advertising age. Every man
who is up to the times takes care that the
world knowsi it. A trade candle is not hidden
under bushel, but placed upon hill. Busi-
ness is found to increase in direct ratio with
the amount of money judiciously expended
in letting the public know where you are and
what you have got to sell. The great diff
Guilty is to know when, where and how to do
it, This led to the establishment of adver-
Using agencies, of which the most extensive
and reliable Is that of Geo. P. Rowell d Co.,
of New York, which has met with a success
unparalleled in the history Of similar under
takings. They are the largest customers the
newspapers of the United States have, and
have so managed to simplify and arrange the
advertising system as secures the greatest
amount OF publicity for the lowest amount
Of money. More than five thousand Ameri-
can periodicals are received regularly, and
kept ON file at their Office, which Is located In
the New York Times building, Al Park Row,
and we are informed that their corps Of as
sistants outnumber the combined force of
any four similar establishments now in eX-
istence. Visitors TO New York will find their
Office capital place to find news from home,
for 1t must be a secluded spot which is not
represented by a paper on their extensive
files, which are always open to free inspec-
tion.-Davenport (iol0a) Democrat

B Referring to the assertion made by
colored friends that he is being quoted as
having advised the colored people to leave
the Republican party, Mr.. Frederick
Douglass makes this reply in letter just
published; "There is no truth in the
story that at Hillsdale, or anywhere else,
advised colOred men TO abandon the lead
ers ofthe Republican party and to set up
for themselves. In the speech at Hills
dale no such idea was in my mind and
heart, and how anybody could honestly
think otherwise cannot imagine. Proper
can people TO substitute the simple rule of
justice for the rule of invidious charity in
their treatment of the negro-to give him
his rights rather than aims, TO give him,
not favor, but fair play.n

that ninetenths would have replied IN the
negative. The responses received CORE.

Preparing Bones for Use as Fertiliz.
erS.

SULPHURIC acid, oil of vitriol, is the
usual and probably the best substance to
dissolve bones for use on land. But it
will not dissolve whole bones, nor except
very slowly those which have been merely
pounded ald broken up. Thorough
grinding into meal, the finer the better, is
the most reliable means of getting the
bone in good condition for dissolving by
the acid. In many cases burning the
bones and then grinding the charred re-
mains would be advisable. Some nitrogen
is lost by this process, but the more i'm
portant phosphate of lime is as valuable
after burning as before. Some may think
that when bones are burned and ground
fine further treatment is unnecessary,
but we have not found it so. The
sulphuric acid divides the small
particles of bone far finer than we
can grind them, and, what is more,
it leaves the phosphate of lime in good
condition to be readily taken up by the
roots of plants. Part of the lime in the
bone is left in the form Of sulphate (com-
mon gypsum) while the balance is super
phosphate, the most valuable form of min
eral fertilizers.
1t is frequently recommended to compost
bones with ashes, or with manure. If
ground finely enough these will dissolve
the bone to considerable extent; but the
action of bones treated thus will be much
slower and less certain than where the
true esuperphosphate is used. There may be
cases where it would be profitable to com
post ground or pounded bones with stable
manure, as the sulphuric acid is bad stuff
to handle except with the greatest care,
but we would not advise the use of ashes,
which can be best applied separately
