stable, which we were directed to put on
this field. The pile would have made
ABOUT twenty or twenty-five such loads
as we buy for dollar a load. I esti-
mated it to be worth $35. After the
ground had been plowed, we spread this
manure as evenly as possible over twelve
acres on one side of the field, at an ex-
pense of S15 for handling the manure.
The twelve acres MANFRED yielded 543
bushels, or 40 bushels to the acre; the 9
acres unmanured yielded $50 bushels, or
20 bushels to the acre. The manure in
creased the crop % bushels to the acre,
or 3O3 bushels on the farm, worth 80
cents per bushel, or $l5l 80. The cost
Of preparing ground, seed, sowing, and
reaping was the same per acre on the
whole field. The cost OF binding, draw
ing, and thrashing was more on the
MANFRED portion, but as the straw was
twice as heavy we will let that balance
the extra work The manure and draw
ing cost $60; therefore $50 expended in
manure made an increase in the crop OF
1851 80, or a profit of $1O1 90 in one
season, In addition TO this the clover
made good catch on the MANFRED land
while on the rest it hardly grew at all.

The Importance OF Agriculture.


President Hayes visited the Frederick
Co. Md, agricultural fair. We take the
following extract from his brief address {:
The interest to be promoted by an
institution Ike this, is the most impor-
tant single interest III our country. If
the farmer or planter is prosperous.
Every other interest finds advantage in
whatever promotes the agricultural in
terest, and if to-day, we may with reason
rejoice at the prospect Of reviving pros
perIty IN our country, it is very largely
because the agriculture of the country is
prosperous. Good crops and good prices
Tor agricultural products, make good
times. All avenues of trade find their
gains IN the transportation ofagzicultural
products. We come then to take part
In your fair, because it largely represents
to the country the agricultural interests
OF your own county Frederick, as well as
that throughout the United States.

The value OF Manure.

The following report of the result of
manuring WORKOUT land Is taken from
an article furnished by Mr. Frank A .
Gulley to the Michigan agricultural
commission. There is scarcely farm in
the land upon which can not be found
whole fields, or parts of fields, worn and
poor from the effects of successive crop
pings. II is also charged that upon
nearly every farm will be found a huge
pile of manure. If it is not there, it can
be made each winter by feeding in sheds
all the grain and fodder raised on the
place, and 1t won't hurt to buy a little
outside. With such results probable,
who can help little experimental farm
ing for the next season ? The report is as
follows:
On piece OF land put in our hands to
work last spring was a field OF twenty-one
acres, which the owners wished to have
sUwed in oats and seeded to clover. The
field had been cropped several years
without manure. The soil was Ct an
average fertility all over the field A
crop of corn planted on it the previous
year had made about an equal growth in
all parts, and all so poor that it was con
sidered not worth husking, and was fed
in the stalk. On the farm was a pile of
manure one year old, left from a COW

An egg contains more nutriment than
any other substance of the same weight.
At the same time the market price of
eggs is comparatively lower than that of
flesh. A pound OF eggs Is also produced
at a less cost than a pound Of flesh.
Considering the Importance Of the pOul-
try products of this country, there Is by
no means sufficient regard to them. The

II is a good thing for society that the
popular conception of manhood is so
high that the very words manhood -
and manliness suggest to the aver
age mind aU elevation Of sentiment and
principle, degree of generosity, cour-
age aud fidelity which renders a man
incapable Of any thing low and mean
and dishonorable. But the thought
for present empeasis is that there is a
still higher manhood, which not only in
wolves all that is good in the popular con-
Ceptien, but all that is contained in the
Scripture ideal of human excellence
That ideal is designated by Christian
manhood, implying that by initiating
him the idea may be attained and real
lied in our own characters. Hence it is
said that Christ has left us an example
that we should follow in his footsteps"
Hence, also, the commands, Follow me,
andIs Let this mind be in you which was
also in Christ Jesus"
The true and only adequate standard
of manhood is likeness TO Christ, the
model man of the race. The best and
highest style of man is he who is the best
Christian, whose character Is most nearly
fashioned after that of Christ. Any con-
ception of manhood that does not include
this is defective. Even the popular and
excellent proverb, An honest man is
the noblest work of God" csnnSt be true
unless the word 50 honest is made to in
elIIde all that is implied in the word
& Christian" To be strictly and uni
.yersalIv true, il should be, A Christian
is the noblest work of God. THE Meth

Why cannot every farmer keep two
acres per head, of waste land under
fence Tor a flock of ewes2 My ex
perience is. that with the native sheep /
can average three pounds of wool and
one lamb a year per eve, without &C
cidents from dogs, and not cost beyond
one dollar per head for keeping annually.
II Cor So. Plantation.
Why not 20 little farther and in
stead of native sheep procure Pure-bred,
and instead OF three pounds of second or
third class wool, shear from eight to
twelve pounds OF first class quality,
commanding much larger price 2
If it cost only one dollar to sustain
common eve, it will certainly cost no
more to support a pure-bred.
The common ewes will average one
lamb per year and so will the pure-bred.
The price of common lamb will not
reach beyond three dollars at the farther
est, but the pure bred will find q ready
purchaser at from ten upwards to fifty
dollars. according to quality. II it pays
to raise common sheep at all, then, how
much greater will the profits be, if the
thoroughbred is substituted
If one Is not able to begin with
thoroughbreds, he can soon grade up his
flock by using pure bred males. There
is no reason why the southern states
may not, in a few years, become as re
nowned for the large number and fine
quality of its focks as any other portion
OF the union, and in time surpass, in
this line, any known region of America.
To those in the south, who start now for
the purpose of building fOcks of the
various breeds of pure bred stock, there
is in the not far distant future no in
considerable amount of money, but a
fortune.
That there is now an Increasing, and a
steady demand for better sheep through
out the entire southern states, there Is
no donbt, and as there are few southern
breeders, purchases, for sometime TO
come, must be made from states north

RIOrOUs DEMONS rRATIONs

The hoodlum element in San Francis
co is exercising its ingenuity to the ut
most to create riot. Last night de-
monstrations were made to accomplish
that result, but the prompt and decided
action of the Vigilance Committee pre-
vented an outbreak. While meeting
of citizens was being held the cry of
fire was raised, and it was supposed for
a while that the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company s wharves were on FIRE. This
created the greatest excitement
aud broke up the meeting. The
fire proved to be in luns-
Lumber yard, near the wharves. The
fire department turned out, and a
rough, detected in cutting the hose, was
shot dead in his tracks. The authori-
ties. assisted by the vigilance committee,
restored order. and to day all is quiet.
