is composed of wide or narrow planks,
as the case may be. These are pulled
away, allowing the manure to fall, II
fine enough, to the ground-seyeral
heaps to the load. of irregular shapes,
and at irregular intervals. The conse-
quence is, when the field is planted or
sown, the crop is as irregular as the
piles, and thick or thin on the ground,
and in patches, as the case may BE-
Whatever the size of the heaps, they
should be as compact as possible, and
close enough so that no bare places will
be left in spreading. Tne question Will
here occur, why should manure be
thrown in piles at all? True enough.
Why not spread directly from the wag-
on? "Oh," says Procrastination, " 1t
takes too much time to spread from the
wagon" Does it take any longer IN
winter than in spring, or is time any
more valuable in the winter than at
blowing time Probably not. "BuJ, " says
another, = if it is spread in the winter
the heart will all leach out OF it." Very
good, where will it 90? Into the soil
That is Just where you want 1t, and tar
better so than to have the field made IN
even by having the soil soaked with ma
nure at the piles, to the detriment OF
places more remote from the heaps.
There may, indeed, be cases where the
manure had better remain in compact
piles, but these cases will be generally
when the manure will be better in the
ward at home until it is wanted to be
plOved under.
One special objection to the plan OF
leaving the manure in heaps is that
when laid on frozen ground, or when
the soil freezes under the manure, twill
not thaw out in time for early crops
There will be frost under the heaps Tor
a lone time after all other land is settled
and fit for crops. On the whole, we
should advise the spreading Of manure
directly from the wagon as hauled, if 1t
be green or strawy manure, or such as
is generally found in Western barn
vards.-Pruirjs Farmer.

Hardened Glass.

There seems some prospect that the
hardened glass introduced recently by
NJ. de Ia Bastie will soon be sold as
eheap.as ordinary e-pss. AT EArreceaT
meeting Of the French Society OF En-
couragement, NJ. de Luynes made a
communication in the name0f Nj. de Ia
Bastie on the progress which The indus
try has been making since first 1t was
brought into notice. Numerous specl-
mems were shawn of the most varied and
accurate khs; lamp-glasses, gas
globes, g58lets of various forms, tum-
blers, mortars and pestals. 1t is well
known how easily broken these last are
when made with ordinary glass. Those
Of hardened glass will stand almost any
amount of rough usage. Capsules for
pharmacists and .Shemists, OF all sizes
and every shape, were shown; glass
plates in crystal or enamel, and tea and
coffee cups in white enamel. Ordinary
glasses were put in a basket with glasses
made Of hardened crystal; after. several
shocks the former were all broken to
pieces while the latter were as sound as
ever. Thus all the difficulties seem to
have been solved. But what is more
important, the processes of manufacture
have been simplifed and combined with
the ordinary operations Of the glass
worker, SO as considerably to diminish
the expense and give more regular forms
and more perfect execution. The OBJ
jects made with the liquid matter, when
they are still red, are thrown directly
into the hardening bath, and not re-
heated, as originally, till they were soft,
which often caused an alteration in their
form.-LOud0B Times.

coming money by carrying the messages,
saw her angry look, and coming timidly

lev has been the fear Of interference by
Russia with the direct route to the East,
in which both are specially interested.
In addition to the Suez Canal as means
of communication with India, it has
beer. seriously contemplated by the En-
CIish to build a railroad down the Val
lev of the Euphrates to The Persian Gulf,
which would give them a shorter line
even TO India thaa that afforded by the
canal. Russia is The only European
Power capable of maintaining navy
which can compete with those OF Eng
land and France That she has not
heretofore done so is probably due to the
fact that her ports in the Baltic are cov-
cred bv ice more than half the year, and
that her efforts in this direction N the
Black Sea have been restricted and con-
trolIed bv other European Powers. Ev-
cry foot Of territory she acquires IN ASH
attic Turkey renders more pre-
carious the chances of England
being able to complete her
railroad. Ii she is allowed the freedom
Of the Bosphorus and Dardanelles, her
fleets will at once enter the Medlterra-
mean. and it is difficult to suppose that
such powers as England and Russia,
each striving for influence in Asia and
each Jealous Of the other, can long be
in such close proximity without COLL
sion. This would practically close the
freedom Of the Suez Canal to the En-
CIish. and would cause complications
seriously embarrassing to the French.
Under these circumstances, the desire or
France and England to restrict the Ell
forts of Russia to extend her influence
to the Mediterranean and her control Of
the Black Sea have not been unnatural.
That the disposition exists on the part
of England, France, and Austria to re-
duce the demands Of Russia in the forth
coming Conference, even though this
effort may result in hostilities, is evident.
The resources of France and Austria
were 50 reduced by the Prussians that
it is doubted if they are yet in such con-
ditiOn as will enable them to act other
than bv remOnstrance. Those Of Eng
land are perhaps greater than at any
previous time. She has never possessed
such powerful military resources as now,
but unfortunately for her she has but q
small army. We're her people actuated
by the same spirit as in former years,
she would probably nave interviewed be-
fore this. The policy Of her late
Premier, Mr.. Gladstone, has, however,
been successful in educating Englishmen
to desire no further Continental wars,
and to abstain from all Continental
complications, and it is probable that
her action in the Conference will be
limited to energetic remon5tranee, to
be followed by a growing acceptance
Of the situation.

the place and everything but the subject
read. Her selections were good, from
fine authors, embracing a variety of sub
jects SO ali might be pleased yet keep
ing the proper aim in view-the eleya-
ton of public taste. Prof Kennedy is a
fine singer. He has a good voice of vol

manages without pretense. His "Jubi-

when the Tide Comes in" were well
