earthen pipes or those made of wood or

movable hose connected with'the pipes
and steam-engine. How manure may be
proftably used On an acre is an unsolved
problem, depending Tartly on the cost of
fuel, partly on the value of farm produce,
and partly on the scarcity or abundance
of fertiliziug materials. Steam working
on iron or steel rails handles freight by

small cost per ton. Manure should be

App1es OF Gold I'm Pictures of Silver

"a word fitly spoken is like apples of gold
in pictures of silver" When the body bes
comes diseased, the mind is thereby neces'
sarily influenced. National wars, State dis
sensions, neighborhood brois, and family diff
fferences, are more frequently than otherwise
the result of diseased and disordered conssi-
tutions. When the body is suffering, the mind !,
acting in sympathy, will become irritated and
perplexed. When the physical system is in
health, the mind perceivess, things in their
true light, and the disposition assumes a
very different phase. nothing more directly
tends to destroy the happy cheerful dispo'
sition of woman, and render her peeyisb,
nervous and fretful, than aconstant endu'
rance of uterine disorders. The diseases
peculiar to woman take away the elasticity
and buoyancy of health and r-duce her
body and mind to mere wreck. DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is rgal peacenaaker in
family. No woman suffefing from uterine
disorders can afford to be Without this rem
edy. The Favorite Prescription saves un
necessary doctor bills, prevents divorces
wards off suicides, brings back buoyant
Joyous feelings, restores the woman to health

Bone Manure on Wheat.

In the southern portion of Cayuga
county, New York, the quantity used
by farmers as fertilizer for wheat has
gradually increased TO several hundred
tons annually within district of a few
miles in extent, and it seems indispensa-
oly necessary for successful and heavy
crops. In o;her rarts of the state large
quantities are applied with very favorable
results, even in those localities not COM
monty regarded as wheat-producing
regions. Among others, we learn from
James Wood, of Winchester county,
where comparatively little wheat israised,
that he scarcely ever fails of obtaining
twenty-five or thirty bushels per acre,
even in unfavorable seasons, and the
present year an entire field yielded an
average of thirty-fve bushels per acre.
He finds combined application of bone
dust or superphosphate with yard or
stable manure give better crops than
either alone. On moist land, bone dust
succeeds best; on dry ridges, the super
phosphate is most profitable. His good
cropsef wheat are manured with about
eightor ten loads per hundred pounds Of
bone or phosphate separately applied
His chief object, however, is to benefit
the succeeding crop ofgrass; the product
in wheat is secondary object. He finds
the Clawson wheat the most productive
of all the sorts cultivated, but inferior
in quality to the TreadHell.
Facts like the above prove the great
value of feeding wheat plants their ap-
propriate food. In one hundred pounds
of this grain there are ninety five pounds
of carbon and elements of water which
nature supplies; but the five per cent,
composed of minerals and nitrogen,
should be supplied in manureif the land
be not rich,

THE SHADOW OF FATE.
BY JUDGE JARYTS.

A rider was threading his way over
road which lay along the hills at the base of
the Blue Ridge Mountains, in the region
known as the Piedmont of Virginia, about
the sources of the Rappahannock river.
The man himself might be described in
the same language. as far as it would apply.
Beyond this, his age was about twenty-three,
his hair brown and full In lock, his eye of q
grayish blue.
His way quickly brought the traveller to
stream now running over its banks. Slipping
easily from his saddle, he frightened the
girth, slackened the crupper. and, gently
pattlng his animal, addressed few affection
ate words to him. Remounting. he fixed
himself firmly in the saddle, gathered his
bride in manner to impart to his compan-
ion his own energy and determination, and
| moved into the creek.
Turning up the stream, he proceeded for
about a hundred yards along the bank, and
then struck boldly across in direct line
| with the horses head slanted up current.
The depth of the water did not senslbiy IN
crease in the course Of eighty yards, and the
stranger was congratulating himself upon
the probability Of getting over without 8
| wetting, when the animal in two steps in
creased the depth until he could no Longer
hold his footing, and sprung boldly into tht
| middle of deep, rushing channel. In an
instant the rider had seized the name of the
| horse in his left hand, and slipped smoothly
out Of the saddle TO the lower side, where he
foated along.

The SktlIfaI Use of Manure.

If it be difficult to teach on paper the
skillful use of manure on the farm, it is
easy tocall public attention to the subject
The able men connected with the govern
ment endowed agricultural stations in
Germany have developed many i'm
portant facts relating to the growth of
crops and the fertilizing power of their
several elements. At the common price
of commercial fertilizers in this country
those contained in sn acre Of cornstalks,
cobs and shucks, which for short may be
called maize straw, equal to the produc.
tion Of forty bushels of grain, are worth
$i1.28. The manure contained in forty
bushels Of corn is worth $3.50. Add the
tive together and We have $20.47 as the
value Tor plant food of an acre of coed
corn.
Now, the farmer who raises 40 bushels
ofcorn on one or two acres of land and
sells his grain at 40 cents bushel, is
apt to think that. as husbandman, he is
at the end of his corn row. But his 40
bushels of corn have only brought him
$16, while the raw material consumed in
forming his crop may be worth $40 in
the same market that buys 1t. What
