Fall Manuring,

| am we'll convinced that barn manure
should be kept from spring until fall and then
spread on land intended for crops the next
year, and plowed under in the fall. My rea-
sons are First, the manure Is much better
prepared for plant food than when used IN its
green state. Second, the action of frosts and
rains will deCompose or pulverlze all the lum-
by parts of the manure, mixing 1t with the
soil, and it will readily become just what is
needed for the tender plants. Third, the soil
will dry some four to six days sooner in the
spring with manure in the soil than without
the tall application consequently an earlier sea.
son is the result. Fourth, vegetation is much
better prepared to withstand drought than
when the manure is applied in the spring, as
the manure has tendency to make the soil
porous and dry, sometimes almost drying up
the tender plants. Fifth, tall manuring gives
more time for work in the spring, which Is Of
vast importance especially in our climate.
Sixth, in the fall the fields and sward land Is
dry and hard, teams in good condition, and we
have more leisure for dong this work than we
can expect to have in the spring. Seventh, by
fall manuring and blowing we can reasonably
expect from ten to twenty per cent. better re-
suits on an average of seasons than when green
manure is applied in the spring. Eighth, IN
very dry seasons, when the manure Is applied
in the hill especially, or beautifully applied
otherwise in the spring, the benefit of the man
ure for that season is Of trihlng value to the
present crop. These are some of the reasons
why would apply manure IN the fall and
pillow it under; and if our farmers wocld adopt
the practice as above have no doubt but good
results would folow-Cor Naine Farmer.

The question of reducing the fare on the ele.
waited railroad in New York from ten to five
cents, has led to the discussion among railroad
men of the question, How cheap can pas
senger be carried by steam over any railroad ~
Yesterday, while IN conversation with The
president of one of the largest trunk lines, |
asked him this question:
How cheap can you carry passengers on
your road and make money, provided you have
plenty of passengers
Well" he said, THAT depends; if there
were enough passengers to carry, we could
take passengers over our road and the Lake
Shore to Chicago for 50 a head and make
money"
From New York to Chicago for 81 and
make money? How could you do it?' |
asked.
well, we could take them in good passen.
ger cars running at the rate of twenty miles
an hour and make money
How do you figure IT,
why, we can carry a man weighing $50
pounds as cheapy as we can carry hog
weighing 400 pounds, can't we:'
Yes" said, II should think you could"
"Well, we would be glad of the chance of
getting 500 per car load for carrying hogs.
Sixty hogs will fill car and weigh twelve
tons. Now if we can make money carrying
twelve tons of hogs for 500, don't you think
we could make money carrying fifty passen-
gers, weighing four tons, for the same money :?
We often carry hogs from Chicago to New
York for 81, and feed them on the way too.
Yes, we have to load hogs and unload them on
the way twice, and feed them, and transport
their keepers from Chicago to New York for
81 apiece. Now, men load and unload them
selves. Fifty men can get into car. So |
tell you that can carry passengers from New
York to Chicago for So apiece and make
money; and for 81 apiece, provided we can
carry "a full tram Of twenty cars, fifty passen.

Then the fare from here to Chicago is
twenty times too high, is lt?'' | asked
No, not so much as that; but within twenty
years you Will see passengers taken to Chicago
for So All we want Is sufficient passengers
to fill a train. The elevated roads which car.
ry 100000 persons a day can carry passengers
now from New York to Chicago at two cents
per mile, with baggage, and small trains at
that. The elevated roads can carry them for
three cents easily. Why, we can carry passen-
gers at half a cent a mile and get rich Three
cents is enough for a fare on the elevated rail
roads and So from New York to Chicago is
enough, If we could run larger and slower
trains

FLORAL DECORATIONS. Rarely. at
this season Of the year. have Us charm
ing floral decorations been seen in any
church as those which adorned the
chancel enclosure OF Trinity church on
Sunday. The most unique and attrac.
tive Of these decorations was o bell,
about twelve inches in diameter ut the
base, taperipg symmetricalIy to a point
equally high. formed Of moss aud
flowers, aud encirclcd at the base by q
wreath of pretty flowers. 1t was truly
Oh artistic work. and reflected the
highest credit upon the fertile brain
amt deit fingers which conceived and
wrought it. Below this bell was the
large floral cross which usually sdnrns
the wall above the communion table,
hrgh, with flowers, tho arrangement
OF which was no less crcdi,shle TO the
skillfu! hand which weekly performs
this task. Besides these there was a
smaller cross arrayed in bright flowers
upon bracket in corner. several
clusters or bouquets of flowers ranged
along the wall above the communion
table, and the baptismsl tou, draped
IN 'noss, fern and flowers. Altogether
was one OF the prettiost displays of
Tue kind ever seen. and merited all the
admiration it elected.

For TIE MINEs.--We were shown

tributaries and gold mines. The map
begins at Baker river. fifty or sixty
mile, from the mouth Of the Sksgit,
aud goes on to tho 10th parallel, taking
in all the country east and west for q
distance Of forty miles or more. Mr..
Sperry is concerned with Brewster &

such occasions the trail from there OH
