Pile on Manure and ashes.

At a session of the New Hampshire
agricultural society, manures and their
application were discussed, and one of
the members said when he purchased
his farm it was in such condition that
it was either manure or go to the poor
house. He manured. As to the result
he said. 1 have always found that my
crops were in direct ratio to the quanti-
ty of manure l applied to the land. Last
year l seeded down eight acres, and put
on 200 loads of manure and 1,600 bushels
of leached asher. raised twenty five
tons from that land of one crop. The
land was a clayey and gravelly loan.
sowed in August, after l cut the sod in
the spring, sowing the grain with the
grass. In order to get manure have fed
out considerable grain. l am willing to
feed out grain if l can get enormous
crops that will pay for the feed. The
manure from hay has not all the ingre-
dients in it which will help the land, but
manure from grain acts in two ways me-
chanically and chemically, and where we
do not get the mechanical, we get the
chemical action. The ashes cost twenty
five cents q bushel, delivered at the sta
ton. Manure is worth five to six dollars
a cord. l believe there is enough wasted
on almost every farm to fertilize hun
dred acres of land. When l find q man
saving everything for manure l know he
is on the road to prosperity.

Success in Advertising.

In times past it was thought immodest to
proclaim the excellence of ones goods. or to
solicit patronage for them in new spapers.
During the last twenty-five years through
the immense competition in trade, 1t has be-
come necessity. The public are always
anxious to learn OF progress, but arc equally
desirous to avoid all Frauds. AS they have
genuine merit, and are particularly pre1u..
diced against sterling announcements oil
some new and wonderful medine without
character or worth. Still the public are
grateful TO manufacturers or inventors OF or.
ticles OF merit, even il known as medicines;
many of them are the result OF years OF care.
full study by our most eminent chemists and
physicians, and embrace such principles and
productions as Quinlne, Chlorotorm, Chloral
Hydrate, Porous piasters, &c.
Success in advertising depends much upon
the intrinsic worth OF the article it.elf even
though it be a medical preparation AS an
evidence OF this, a celebrated physician OF
New York made great Improvement IN FOR.

OF its giving increased effect and quicke er re-

less. In fact, the imitation is often to
his own hurt, as when he is persuaded
to hing down cocoa-nuts from the tops
OF palm-trees inaccessible to man in ex-
change for the stones which he receives
instead.
Here and there he may be credited,
perhaps, with original mischief, as in the
case of the monkey which was discovered
IN the deans house at Christ-church pick
ing Goals out Of the fire by the black end
and carefully sowing them about the
new carpet, for which feat he was pitt
lessly rusticated.

chest like a lady" it was, however,
only copying the Governor-Generars wife,
who was on board, and did the same.
There is a very instructive story con-
corning the ways of apes in Africa,
which it is strange that the teetotalers
have not got hold Of. At Darfur it seems

get at it. They soon drink enough to
make themselves tipsy, when they do
not know the difference between a man
and an ape. and allow a negro to come
quietly among them. He takes hold of
the hand of the nearest to him, which
clings to some affectionate friend next at
hand; another aid another follow, till
whole string Of staggering monkeys may
seen led off by a single negro. When
they have been thus c-ptured, beer is
given to them in decreasing quantities,
so that they only gradually awake to a
sense of their captivity.
The management Of such cargoes Of
monkeys must be. a difficult matter, and
makes one greatly compassionate mar
chant" who is mentioned IN a letter
dated 1880, in the munimentroom at
Clayton, as having writ TO Barbery for

the words read 3. His factor has

Some time ago Bishop Haven wrote
for the Independent an article on the
life and death Of Henry Wilson. which
closes as follows:
Henry Wilson had great desert and
will have lasting fame. When the Capi.

state beheld his body beneath their

Ethan Allen.

1t was one hundred years ago, on the
10th of May, that Ethan Allen, with the
assurance Characteristic Of the firstclass
Yankee, demanded Of the British officer
in command Of Fort Ticonderoga. the
surrender Of the grrrison and all its san
culinary paraphernalia. He was polite
enough TO say that the request was made
ION the authority Of the Great Jehovah
and the Continental Congress, and upon
these papers he took possession. This
Centenary business has brought out n
good many anecdotes Of Allen, some OF
which were supposed to be planted be-
yond resurrection. Here is one:
Allen was in church one Sunday with
a number Of friends, listening to a very
high Calvanistic minister (exact stature
not recorded). The text chosen was,
MANY shall strive to enter in, but shall
not be able !" and the preacher promised
his remarks by observing that the grace
OF God was certainly sufficient to include
one person out of ten. Secondly, DIS
closed II fact that not one out OF twen-
ty would attempt to avail himself Of sal
vation. And thirdly, it came out that
but one man in fifty was really an object
OF Divine solicituGe. Fourthly. was an.
nounced that the estimate Of the elect
now reduced to greater correctness-the
sad conclusion was being drawn that
only one out Of eighty-when Allen
seized his hat. and evacuated the pew

directly to inherited sources. In fact
the researches of modern physiology are
showing every day, more and more, what
a powerful influence inherited qualities
have upon these classes. The question
is beginning to be raised, il we are ever
to check the increase of vice and crime
must we not go back to their primary
sources-dry up the springs, purify the
fountain or, in other words, as a means
OF protection and prevention make q
proper application of the laws Of inherit
ance.
1t may be said that criminals and the
insane compose so small portion of the
community, that the subject is not de
serving much attention; but, if the law
of inheritance applies to abnormal devel
opments of character. to fiagrant wrongs
and outrages, it applies equally to all the
minor follies, vices, evils and wrongs.
Not a single parental relation takes
/ place but that the seeds OF good or evil
tendencies are sown If the animal ma
ture is predominant and most active, or
the intellectual or the moral, such will
be the prevailing type Of character in the
offspring
Not only the form of the body, the
/ general features of the countenance. and
the temperament, or the particular kind
of organization are communicated; but
the leading elements or groundwork Of
character. IL certain propensities are
very predominant and active, inclined
strongly to sensuality and licentiousness,
If an ungovernable temper, or bad dispo-
sition, morose, irritable, sullen, exists,
the inherited effects will surely be seen.
If naturally there is q strong inclination
to idleness, to waste and extravaganza,
or h.n al kAlw -,
penuriousness, and meanness these quail
tiles will be more or less communicated.
If the blood has been poisoned or con-
stitution impaired by the use of alcohol,
tobacco, or any other narcotic or stimu-
liant the effects will surely be transmit
ted. There is no question but much of
the dissipation and intemperance so
prevalent at the present day may be
traced back to this source
In canvassing this whole subject il
should be borne in mind that it is the
real nature, the inner life of the individ-
ual, where the law of transmission par
ticularly applies-not to the professions
one makes, or to the outward character,
or even what one always thinks of him
SELF If we are here misled by ignorance
or deceive ourselves, the relation between
parent and child still exists, and the
penalties or effects of violated law must
necessarily be transmitted. If we mis-
take not there are responsibilities and
obligations connected with this relation
which parents do not begin to realize,
and for a better understanding and more
enlightenment there is need of gathering
up all the lights possible from science
and experience. Neither should the
pulpit or the press be silent in a m after
which so vitality affects human welfare.
