Spreading Manure.

Stable manure and coarse barn-yard
manure is sometimes dropped in heaps,
which are not spread over half the ground
the manure was designed to cover. Such
practice is erroneous, as a portion of the
land will receive heavy application of
manure, while none at all will be applied
to more than half of the ground. 1t is a
common practice to spread manure in
Jumps, or in unbroken masses of fibrous
material, and in this condition to pillow it
into the soil. 1t requires but moments
reflection to perceive that such large
Jumps of manure and of large clods of
earth will constitute seed-bed quite unfit
for the fine, delicate, thread like fibers and
rootlets of plants. But let these crude
materials be both ground together to fine
powder and properly moistened, and they
will at once promote luxuriant growth
The pile of large clcds can do nothing to-
ward retaining moisture, but finely pull
verified they will become at once as a
sponge Practical farmers have often re-
marked that the application of manure has
served to increase the. dryness of the soil
in times of drought, and sometimes even
to lessen the amount of the crop. This
would not be the case if thorough inter-
mixture had been effected. On the con-
trary, the manure would increase the
growth of the crop, both by the additional
nourlshment afforded and by the increased
retention and supply of moisture. In
cases when it is necessary to apply coarse
manure at once much may be done in
lessening the evils of coarseness by
artificially grinding it into the soil.
The instrument called the drag
roller, which is like common roller
set stiff so as not to revolve, has been used
to great advantage for this purpose by
passing it over the surface in connection
with the harrow. We have known this
treatment to effect thorough intermix
ture and to more than double the crop OBJ
tanned by common management with
coarse manure. But when the manure
can be shaken 70 atoms by the use of a
manure fork, the punches should be forked
about and separated until they have been
reduced to a uniform fineness. The I'M

from seven in the morning till after mid

and reserved. His costume consists of

fastening round the waist; light shoes
without heels; he serves two persons at

that they will be repaid next day, with
the sum doubled.

Woman at the Centennial.

One of the most interesting features of
the Worlds Fair, at Philadelphia, will be
the Women's Department-not depart
ment merely presided over by women,
but one devoted exclusively to the exhibit
ton of the products of woman IS invention,
genius, and the results of her industrial
pursuits. The proposition to give the
Fair such feature was first made in 1878,
when several women of Philadelphia set
TO work and raised some $4,000 for the
purpose. After that, applications for space
to exhibit women's achievements In the
arts came in so fast from foreign countries,
as well as from different parts OF the
United States, that it was determined to
construct special pavilion and make the
women's exhibition a separate depart
ment. The women of Philadelphia re-
sponded promptly with subscriptions
amounting to SIS, 900; Ohio followed with
S15,0 900, and Massachusetts subscribed
S., 900 more This leaves about $15, 900
still to be raised before the pavilion can
be completed, and the women of New
York have undertaken TO make up that
balance.-N. Z. World.

The manure applied to the soil and inter
mixing it well by repeated borrowings
cannot be too strongly impressed on the
mind OF every cultivator. Various means
may be adopted to reduce manure to fine
condition.. 1t coarse or composed largely
OF straw 1t must be rotted by placing it in
large neapS to remain several months,
cutting down the outsides with hay
knife after the lapse of few weeks and
throwing the trimmings on the top. If
there is not enough straw to retain the
volatile portions then thin layers of loam,
turf, muck or peat must be placed with
the manure-thus forming an excellent
compost heap-thG amount OF loan or
other absorbent to be regulated by the
quantity of straw which the manure may
already contain. When straw is largely
used 1t would obviously require much
less rottlng down if the straw could be
run through straw-cutter and chopped
short before being used as litter. Corn
stalks are especially troublesome when
mixed with manure. The straw-cutter,
therefore, becomes particularly useful in
chopping them up before they are spread
over the yard.
We have in mind a successful gardener
who is accustomed to keep one of his
many hands constantly employed in mix
ing and working down fine composts
To save labor farmers should make their
manure piles in the form of long and low
parallelograms, on which yoke of oxen
may be used for several days in plowing,
narrowing and commingling all the parts
until the coarse manure is fine. After the
manure is spread upon the SOIL and before
blowing In, great benefit is derived by
thorough narrowing with the top soil and
mixing them we'll together. Another way
for the perfect diffusion of the manure
among the particles of earth is to spread it
in autumn SO that the rains may dissolve
the soluble portions and carry them down
among the particles, where they will be
absorbed and retained for the growing
crop.
In experiments which we have wit
messed, where the manure for a crop of
Indian corn was thus applied in autumn,
the land afforded a yield of about seventy
bushels per acre, when ground, to which
the same amount was applied in spring,
gave only fifty bushels. A thin coating
of manure applied to winter wheat at the
time of sowing, and we'll narrowed in,
has increased the crop from seven to ten
bushels per acre. In addition to this, by
the stronger growth it has caused, as we'll
as by the protection it has afforded to the
surface, manure has not unfrequently
saved the crop from partial or total win
ter-killing.-N. Y. Herald. +

The Big Rain-An Indian Legend.

Mr.. @. 3. Barclay of Salmon City, l..
T., while at Crescent City, Cal, in 1850,
was told the following legend by woman
of the South River tribe Of Indians, which
he sends TO the New York Tribune:
AT one time there came great rain. 1t
lasted long time, and the water kept ris-
ing till all the valleys were submerged,
and the Indians (who were very populous
at that time) retired to the high land, as
the water rose, covering their retreat, were
swept away and drowned. There was one
pair, however, who were more successful
They reached the highest peak in the
country and were saved. They subsisted
on fish, and cooked the fish by placing
them under their arms. They had no fire,
andcould not get any, as everything was
water soaked to such an extent that no fire
could be produced. At length the water
began to subside, and continued to do so
till 1t returned to its former level, and
from that forlorn hope are all the Indians
ofstbe present Gay descended, as also all
the game, insects, etc. AS the Indians
died, their spirits took the forms of deer,
elk, bear, insects, snakes, etc, as the fancy
of the'departed prompted. By those means
the earth became again peopled by the
same Kind as formerly existed but the
lndians still had no fire, and they looked
with envious eyes on the moon as having
fire, while they had none. The Spider
Indians formed plan, having secured the
cooperation of the Snake Indians to OBJ
tain fire from the moon. In pursuance of
their idea the Spiders wove a gossamer
balloon, and started on their perilous
journey, leaving rope fastened to the
earth, paying out as they went. In course
of time they reached their destination, but
the Moon Indians looked on them with
suspicion, divining their Grand. The
Spiders, however, succeeded in convinc-
ing them that their only object was 10
gamble. AT that the Moon Indians were
much pleased, proposing to start the game
forthwith. While thus engaged, sitting
by the fire, Snake Indian arrived, hav
ing climbed the rope, and darted through
1.-The fire, making good his escape before
the Moon Indians had recovered from their
surprise. On his arrival on earth it be-
.came incumbent on him to travel over
every rock, stick and tree, everything he
touched from that time forth contained
tire-Aand the hearts of the Indians were
glad. The Spiders were not SO fortunate;
they were kept as prisoners for a long
time, but finally released. They thought
the appearance of the world much i'm
proved, as it again glowed brightly as be-
fore the flood, and gave them light. The
Spiders returned to the earth expecting to
be received as benefactors of their race;
but they were doomed to disappointment,
for on their arrival they we're immediate
ly put to death for fear the Moon Indians
might want revenge probably as peace
Offering). AS the fire has remained con-
slant ever since, the Snake Indians con-
graduate themselves on their success.

The Carnauba Palm.

One of the most valuable trees growing
in the rich forests of Brazil is the Car
nauDa Palm (COperntctG cerifera) 1t is a
very beautiful tree, bearing its leafy
=: crown at a height.of from twenty to forty
feet. 1t abounds especially in the north
sern parts of Brazil, where it frequently
forms vast forests. 1t tlouriShes without
culture, and wthstands the severest
droughts. To such multifarious uses can
its various parts and products be applied
that the wants of simple people can cas-
ily be provided for from its resources
alone 1t is said that, in times of scare
ity, it has served as a means OF support
for the population of an entire province.
The top of the tree, when young, is an
agreeable and nutritious article of food.
The fruit, which is the size of an olive,
and black in hue has a sweet and pleas
ant pulp, that is eaten both raw and
cooked in various ways. The nut is oily
sand emulsiye, and, when roasted, is used
as a substitute for coffee. The roots have
3 the virtues of sarsaparilla. The Juice
furnishes, under varied treatment, wine
and vinegar From the stems of the tree,
80 a Kind of sage, and also a saccharine
matter, are extracted. In times of drought,
the pith of the young wood is given to
cattle, and affords tolerably nutritious
fodder. The fibrous substance of the pith
Of the stems and leaf-stalks makes very
GOOD cork From the trunk, strong fbres
are obtained, and also nourishing starch,
..m similar to maizena,. The timber is valu-
: able for building purposes in the climate
where it is produced-two or three trees
sufl1cing, with their leaves, for the con-
struction of cabin. 1t is used in Brazil
for a variety of other purposes, and is i'm
ported into Britain for veneering. Beau
tifully notified and colored canes,
which take high polish, are
also manufactured out of it. From
'Y<the dried straw are made hats,
mats, baskets, brooms, etc. while much
q of the raw material is exported to Europe
for the weaving of fine hats. But the
most important product of the tree is the
wax, which occurs in the form of scales
upon the leaves, and is collected from
those that have fallen and withered.
Melted into masses, large quantities of
this wax are exported to foreign countries.
The income from this source exceeds
....e162 900 annually. The product is used
riatato adulterate beeswaX, and also in the
ssi manufacture of candles CHICAGO Tribune
