Treating Harsh CLAY Soil.

A correspondent writing to the Coun-
try Gentleman, says: 1 know cases
where heavy clay, some of it badly run
down, has been treated with long ma
nure with decided success. It was ap
piled during the fall and part of the win
ter, and spread at once. In the spring
it was slightly turned down, just sufh
GENTLY to cover it, and sowed, afording
an improved crop. The land was plow-
ed in the fall couple Of inches deep,
and another coat given it, neither appli-
cation heavy. Ia the spring the II anure
and top soil were mixed by the eultivator
and the land seeded down to clover.
Thus treated, the crop in each case was
superior, and the harsh soil reduced to a
fine condition. The clover took well,
and with plaster made a fine growth-it
was the large kind. This completed the
improvement of the land Timothy had
in some cases been sown with clover,
and there were several excellent crops
gathered and in other cases clover seed
was raised, and the land being imme-
diately plowed after the crop was re-
moved, turned up in the best condition
completely reOlaimed-and heavy crops
of grain were realized. The point here
Is, that though the manure was plowed
under, it was still surface manuring, as
it was but slightly covered, and with
soil that had received the wash of the
manure, the whole mixed making fine
bed for the roots Of the grain. This good
top soil being then turned down, not
deeply, and another coat applied, there
were several inches of improved soil, say
four TO four and a half-the surface ma
nuring deepening the surface, so that
none Of the strength Of the manure was
lost, either by going into the atmosphere
or sinking into the subsoil, the attrac
ton of the clay also faYoring retention

member some slight exceptions, where
the land was worked too moist Of
course the whole thing is expedited, and
only the full benefit received, where the
land is drained. No treatment can be
entirely successful without drainage.
Much of the poor success on clay land is
owing to the cold (wet) soil Immediately
underlying the tillabla soil, which may
have dry appearance. Where there is
clay especially if harsh and reduced,
coarse, unfermented manure is the
thing, as it acts mechanically as well as
otherwise on the land But keep it at
the surface, where the warmth and the
roots can reach it; or it may be deepen
el if desired Gas for hops, root crops,
wheat, &c } by more and heavier Oppli-
cations of manure.

Few to Cut and shook Corn.

A correspondent of the Chicago Tri-
bune gives the following timely and use
ful suggestions for harvesting the corn
crop rapidly. He says:
Ifa proper system is pursued in form
ing the tables for the shocks. by bending
the hills together at proper intervals and
tying-double the quantity of ground
can be cut over in day per hand than
can be by following the old fashioned
way of setting around the hill and tying
twice. The tables may even be made
and without injury TO the corn, some
days before it is cut. For the informa-
ton of those who have not been used to
shocking in in this way, we give the
plan we have pursued.
Determine the number Of hills to the
shock. Pass along between two rows
where the shocks are to stand, and bend
ing two hills together diagonaly, fas-
ten them By twisting the tops, or better
tying them. Then bend two hills togeth-
er diagonallY, the other way, across
these, and you have table around which
the corn may be set, which viii neither
fall down nor blow over, if ordinary
care be used. So proceed at regular and
proper intervals through the field; and
when you come to cut your corn, you
will be astonished to see how much fas-
ter you will work than heretofore.
Bands are made by crank with
hook at one end. Thrust the hook. into
a pile Of hay, straw, or better, fax waste
and walk backward as you spin by turn
ing the crank. So proceed until you
have hay rope enough to form good
sized BALI Now commence winding it
around a core, and when the ball is
completed, fasten the end with small
wooden skewer, thrust through the end
and into the ball So proceed until you
have rope enough to tie your field. They
are easily made on rainy days, or at 9th
er odd times.
To tie a shock, cut enough from q
ball for the purpose, and, taking the two
ends in the left hand pass the hand
around the. shock, and tie in the usual
manner by twist and tuck; or it the
shocks are large, boy can cut bands
and assist in passing them around the
shock, while the other hand ties.

To Keen Ont The Draft.

When blinds and doors do not close
snugly, but leave cracks through which
drafts enter, the simplest remedy recon-
mended by Mr.. Schuetse, Building Com
missioner in Dresden, Germany, is this
Place strip of putty all along the jambs
cover the edge of the blinds or doors
with chalk, and shut it. The putty will
then fiji all spaces which would remain
open and be pressed where it is not
needed, while the excess is removed with
knife. The CD ak rubbed on the edges
prevents the adhesion of the putty to
the blind or door, which then can be
opened without adhesion, and the putty
Is left in place, where it soon dries and
leaves a perfectly fitting jamb.

Take Care on the Farm.

Farmers should bear in mind at this
season Of the year that the injury done to
tools and implements by exposure to sun
and rain amounts to moro than a whole
years wear and tear. If they leave out
the hoes and plows with cake of dirt
upon them they will rust and injuro be
yond the power of restoring afterwards.
They ought to make it an infexible rule
to clean and put away all farm imple-
ments so that they may not injure, but
be ready for use when the time comes
again. And the wood work should be
cleansed and painted to preyen0 injury
from dews and dampness, which will
raise the grain of the timber, settle in the
joints, crack the surface, and warp, con-
tract, and twist the wooden parts of tools
and implements to such an extent as to
cause more damage than is done by the
work Of years Therefore IL behoOves
every farmer to see to it that all tools
and Implements be put in the best posi-
bic order, after having been used, and
stored away and sheltered so as to guard
against all injury as above indicated
Proper care in these matters Will prove
to be true economy AMI profit practiced
by each farmer and it is certainly a
matter Of Importance enough to claim
the attention and prompt action of eli
who aim at success.

0.Thats How"

After a great snow storm, little fell
low began to shovel a path through
large snow-bank in front of his grand
mothers door. He had nothing but a
small shovel to work with.
"HOw do you intend getting through
that drift p asked a man passing along
"By keeping at it, said the boy cheer
fully, "tbat's how"
That is the secret of mastering almost
every difficulty under the sun. s hard
task is before you, stick to- it. Do not
keep thinking how large or hard it is,
but 60 at it, and little by little it will
grow smaller until it is done.

all means do not let your COWS seour, as
this one item alone is disastrous to the
successful operation of meal feeding
Get an exact measure, three pints, and
use this always, and there can be no mis-
take. Remember that it is better to feed
three times day than twice, but if
there should be no securing there Is no
necessity for it. Butt wish to stamp it
upon the mind never to feed meal in
large quantities as much vexation and
annoyance en- be avoided It is best to
have one person to attend to the feeding
Of the cows, as frequent changes of mas
ters often throws the blame on no one.

apt to be uneasy more or less, as if some
thing was lacking. Old habits are bro

achs set in. The passage of finely ground
meal to the fourth stomach is one of the
best arguments that meal is a perfectly

that the quantity of water consumed is

his cow, and was somewhat alarmed for

for alarm.
Much more can be written on this sub
ject, but as it is new, many will look up
on it as a hoax or the visionary halluei-

ent, we will desist and let our readers
chew the cud Of reflection and examine
into its merits or test it by practical ex-

Important Information.

For the protection of iron and steel
tools against rust, Vogel recommends a
solution of white wax in benzine The
latter heated will dissolve halt its weight
of wax This will preserve the metal,
even from the action of acid vapo7s.
Apply with brush.
Bee moths can only be killed in large
nun bers by setting pan of grease, in
which is a floating, iguited wick, near
the hive after dark The moths wi fly
into the light and fall into the grease.
To make yellow wax into white wax,
the former is boiled in water, spread out
into thin layers, and exposed to the light
and air. This is repeated until ali the
color is gone.
Pounded alum will purify water One
teaspoonful Of alum to four gallons OF
water will cause a precipitation Of tbs
impurities.

SPIRlTUaLIST FUNERAL SERVICES.


Funeral services were held yester-
day afternoon over the remains of the
late Warren Woodson Doxey, at the
residence of Mr.. d. Lewis, on Main
street. An appropriate hymn was
sung by two young lady friends of the
family, and Mr.. Hoke, spirit medi-
um, delivered very earnest and COM
prehensive sermon. He spoke, not as
himself, but as the mouth-piece of
spirit that had control of him. The
spirits assured the family that the
deceased was with them, but had not
as yet acquired power enough to speak
to them through the medium, He
dwelt at some length on what he
termed the life principle. 1t was of
two kinds-individual and universal.
The individual life had left, but the
universal still lived on and grew
stronger and became more elevated
day by day. The family and friends
were grief-stricken at their great loss
and the spirits were unable to comfort
them as they would wish to; but they
were gaining in strength, and the day
was not far distant when they would
be able to make themselves manifest
and comfort the afflicted as Christ did
in days of yore. He spoke of the
prevalent ignorance of the laws of
health and life and urged the great
necessity of reform in that direction.
After the services it was announced
that the funeral procession would
leave the residence of Mr.. Lewis at
10 o'clock.
