81 Sadness pervades the medical
world because Of the death OF Gen,
Frank p. Blair. He had undergone the
operation Of TRANSMISSION of blood, at q
period when he was very low, and the re-
suit seemed for a time very favorable.
Medical men thought his case would do
something toward settling the question of
the safety of the operation. They feel
certain he would have died without it,
but his sudden demise leaves them in
cruel doubt whether the TRANSMISSION, or a
dispensation Of Providence is responsible
this time.

Saving Pig Manure.

1t is not an easy matter to save all the
manure from pigs. [ have allowed FOR a
loss Of seven per cent; on many farms, !
presume, seventy per cent loss would be
nearer the truth The food of cows and
sheep contains a large proportion of woody
fibre. This is yoidel in the fgccs But
the food of pigs contains very little woody
fibre; nearly the whole OF the food is d.
gested, aud consequently we get n small
amount of sOIied faces and o very large
proportion of liquid manure Now, a
pound Of nitrogen in the urine is worth
more than pound Of nitrogen in the crude,
undigested matter found IN the t,rces.
And this is true to still greater extent in
regard TO phOsphoric acid. Professor
johnson estimates soluble phosphOric acid
at sixteen and quarter cents per pound
and insoluble phosphoric acid al six cents
The nitrogen and phOsphoric acid in the
manure from pigs, therefore, is usually
worth much more than that in the manure
of cattle sheep and horses. It is worth,
probably, about as much as that found in
hen-manure. In the hen-manure, how
ever, it is an easy matter TO prevent loss,
but in pig manure there is so much water
that it is necessary to take special pains to
prevent its running to waste. If we can
save the urine of pigs, it will be found a
very active and powerful manure.
On my own farm l keep on an average
about one hundred and fifty pigs. | have
not yet used dry peat or muck as an alb
sorbent, but l propose to do so. | use
more or less dry earth about the pens aud
1 have two cellars that are only partly dug
out. l keep twenty or thirty pigs in each
OF these cellars, and we wheel out the satu,
rated earth from time to time and use it p
manure. This is an economical way o
digging a cellar. We gather everything
Oh the farm that can be used for bedding
such as potato vines, leaves, etc,-and il /
astonishing what a mass of manure can b.
made in this way. Then we save all tn
d-oppings of the horse stable, and use tn
droppings for bedding the pigs. l nee,
hardly say that housekeeping, saturated
with pig urine, make q powerful manure
We cut all our straw and corn stocks int
chat, and we find that this cut straw make
far better bedding than long straw. 1t alb
sorhs more liquid, and the manure is NOR

Mr. Ralston's Life Insurance Policies

The San Francisco Evening Bulletin
says Mr.. Ralston, late president of the
Bank of California. had an insurance
on his life. supposed to aggregate over
100000. Daring the war when gold
was selling at $50, Mr.. Rals;on sent
$4,000 in gold to New York on his
own account, which he sold for S37, 500
in legal tenders, and the whole amount
was invested In paid up policies on his
life, in favor of his wife and children.
Since that time he has taken num-
Der Of extra risks, swelling the amount
as before stated to about 100000. 1t
is supposed the insurance companies
will resist the payment of the policies,
setting up as plea that Mr.. Ralston
committed suicide, against which is
the verdict of the jury that his death
was from natural causes aud not the
result of suicide.

Hints About Work.

lSoiOing Wheat and Rye.-Wheat re-
quires better soil than rye, and where
the soil is not good enough to yield at
least 10 bushels of wheat to the acre, 1t
would be better to SOW rye, which
might bring twenty-five or 30 bush
els. 1t is useless to sow the more de-
licate white wheats, except in the very
best soils. The amber and red wheats
are safer to sow on medium and light
soils. The past has been a wet sum-
mer, and there will be few complaints
of a soil too dry for sowing. Fields not
yet plowed, shodld be turned over at
once, and narrowed thoroughly until
the soil is well settled. A firm mel
low soil is needed for wheat or rye.
Sowing by drill is the safest method.
The saving of seed will nearly pay for
the use of the drill. Drill may be hired
for 90 cents an acre or less. The next
best manner of sowing, is to broadcast
the seed, and cover with a cultivatOr
II the seed is sown broadcast, the
grounds should be rolled thoroughly
after being narrowed. Drill sowing
saves the labor of narrowing after
