THE IMMENSELY OF LONDON.

OF all the great cities, London on the
whole, contains the most to interest aud in
struct Americans. 1t has doubled in popu-
lstion in the memery of men still young.
Most readers remember when Mscsuley's 8
history appeared. 1t his first volume the
author contrasted the grandeur of the mod
ern CITY with the London of Charles III, and
boasted that the number of inhabitants had
increased from little more than five thou
sand to at least one million nine hundred
thousand. In the brief time that has pass
ed since Macauley wrote, the one million
nine hundred thousand has become four
millions.
A few contrasts taken from the best es-
Inmates will give some suggestions of the
immense magnitude of the city. 1t is aptly
described as province covered with houses

THE GOOD FARMER.

He considereth a field and buyeth It, He
looketh we'll to the title that his children
may not become outcssts. He fences it
around with strong wall. His focks and
herds do not trespass upon the domains of
neighbors, but increase and fatten within his
own bounds. He ploweth deep. He har-
rows liberally and manures abundantly. He
feeds the earth with rich food. At the har-
vest he reapeth much grain. He dots his
land with fruit trees. His apples fill his
chamber and his vineyards run over with
pure wine. He riseth with the lark. The
morning sun finds him at labor. He cometh
from his fields when evening shadows gath
er, but he resteth from his labors in the heat
of the day. He buildeth barns and store
houses. His cattle increase in numbers and
his purse is filled with plenty. Whatever
he doeth prospers, for his labors are direct
ed by the wisdom of experience. He pays
cash for his necesssries. His name is not
found on the ledger of the merchant. His
name is not familiar one in the courts of
justice. He pays tithes without grumbling.
He bears his share of the public burdens
He casts his ballot as free man, and seeks
no office. His home is paradise of beauty.
Flowers and vines in great abundance please
the senses, educate the taste and purify the
soul. His sons and daughters are known in
the land. They dispense his charities. The
poor, the sick and afflicted are sought out
and receive comfort and relief He storeth
the chambers of his brain with exact knowl
edge. His head and his hand are co-lsbor'
ers. He reads the papers and profits by
their teachings. He gives from his foun-
tain of knowledge to all who ask. He i.
not pulled up with vanity, or filled with self
conceit and arrogance.

SPREADING MANURE.

The old-fashioned method of plowing un-
der manure has become obsolete. Good
farmers now no longer follow old fashions
because they are old but having become
used to think for themselves, and knowing
much more of the science of their art than
was known score of years ago, they are
ready to strike out new paths for themselves
The common method with manure now is,
to keep it as near the surface. and to inter-
mingle it with the soil, as much as possible
We have discovered that in feeding plants
we must not only place the food within easy
reach of the roots, but must also supply the
best food in the best condition. These con-
ditions are secured by thorough mixture
Of the manure in as finely divided q copdi.
ton as possible throughout the upper three
or four inches of the soil.
The best practice is, to spread the manure
upon the plowed ground and to work it in
with the harrow. This is most convenient.
ly done by having manure in fine condition.
Fine manure may be made In two ways ;
either by piling it and rotting it in the heap,
or by using only short litter. 1t is found in
practice that it pays to cut the litter with a
fodder cutter, so that it will not only absod-
ing more of the liquid manure, but that it can
be easily spread when fresh. The ordinary
harrow will then mix the manure with the
soil in the most effective manner. With
long manure the work is not so easily done,
but it may be accomplished by presevering
The manure will be drawn into heaps, doubt
less, but by freeing the harrow and spread.
ing these, and narrowing again, and again
if necessary, the desired result will be at.
tanned. There are some improved kinds OF
harrows which do this work much better
than others. The sloping-tooth harrow acts
favorably by pressing the manure into the
soil, and drawing the earth over it t the
flexible chain harrow has the same effect
but the steel disc harrow not only does this
but it cuts and breaks up the long litter, snd
reduces it to fragments. This harrow con

which revolve upon axles in different d.
