thought | would write you an arti-
Gle on our farm operations here il
Maine. For several years have been
working up to the system OF Fall man
uring instead OF Spring, by summering
over part OF the manure made the
previous Winter 10 apply in the Fall,
when the ground is dry and hard and
the team comparatively al leisure.
Taking advantage Of the last unprece-
dented fine Fall and having over one
hundred two horse loads of manure on
hand, powed the lsnd-seven acres
designed tor all sorts of crops and cart
cd on the manure and spread it all
ready for Spring operations. In addit-
ion to this shall lay small shovel full
Of hor.e-msnure in the hill Ui corn only,
keeping the cow-manure in the barn eel
lar for another Fall, etc. This cariing out
manure in the spring, when the ground
is soft and work is driving, has always
been the hardest work and consumes
more time than all the rest of our work
put together; and experience has shown
that manure applied in the Fall has
twice the capacity 10 nourish plants
that green manure has applied in the
Spring.
have a water-tight compartment in
the barn-celsr holding twenty loads.
Into this all the liquid not taken up by
the bedding finds its way; but this by
itself would be too strong for any land,
so we dilute it by turing in the rain
water from the root. We have q small
field near the barn OF about i've acres,
a part of which is orchard. This We
never pillow. but we cut all the hay We
can make on the ground by application
of the liquid manure from this tank,
which would otherwise 60 to waste.
Our tie-up has a tight double floor,
with recess eighteen inches wide and
four deep behind the cows, which we
keep well bedded with sesweed, hauled
from the sea shore seven miles distant.
We have no occasion to shear the cows
tails or tie them up with a string. We
have tried the experiment OF standing
cows on an open latticed work and
abandoned il as acknowledgements
the cows to constant draught of cold
air from the regions below. besides be-
ing very trying to their feet.-Cor. En-

Cheese as an animal food may with ad !.

Cheese as an animal food may with ad L.
vantage be substituted for butchers
meat, at the curren, prices. There
are good and substantial reasons for
regarding cheese as n wholesome and
valuable food, and it is worthy Of even
more liberal consumption than it now
receives. English people probably
consume more cheese than any other
nation on the globe, or in proportion
OF about ten pounds yearly to each in
habitant. In the United States the
consumption is only half tina quantity.

EATING FRUIT SKINs.-The skins of
fruit, especially grapes. are often swal.
lowed with the vague notion that they
prevent any bad effects from eating said
fruit. No error can be more fatally
absurd. Cases have occurred where such
practices have been the cause of death
and that Of the most excruciating nat.
ure. The skins Of fruit contain no
nourisbing qualities but are among the
most indigestible substances that can be
swallowed. They pass the stomach
without any change, although they
cause excessive irritation, and frequent.

There was an affecting scene in the Es-
sex County q. j. Court of Quarter SEES
Slons, yesterday, Judge Ellsworth presid-
ing. when Henry Busy was arragned to
answer a charge of stealing a canvas
wagon cover from the freight depot of the
Newark and New York Railroad on Fri

ed, with his eyes cast down. that he com
United the theft in order to get bread for
his wife and children. LAS God is nv
Judge, Your Honor, that's why done it .
he said, his eyes reddening with tears.
His wife was present with a child in her
arms. She sobbed as though her heart
would break, and, as her husband was
being led to the prisoners room, cried in
agonizing tones which moved every heart
ooh, Judge, have mercy have mercy on
my husband. Our children are starving .
Twas for US he did it, The judge called
the woman to him and heard her story.
The husband had been employed as a
stage carpenter, in Jersey City, until six
months ago, but since then he has been
unable to secure steady employment.
They had four children, two of whom
are sick. On Friday, hunger drove the
husband to the theft confessed sight
of his sick and starving children driving
him to desperation. He was hard work
ing, industrious man, but would, once in
a while, go on little spree. The Court
let Busy off with ten days in the county
Jail.
