sACo AND BIDDEFoRD,

MONDAY, April 81.
Schooner Martha OF Rockland, with lime for
A. G. Prentiss arrived this forenoon.
The Unitarian society of Saco have picnic
party in their vestry next Wednesday evening
in honor of the birthday of their pastor, Rev.
j. 7. G. Nichols.
At s 80 this morning, horse belonging 10
Geo. johnson and attached toa cart started
from Island wharf and ran up town, making a
good deal of noise and frightening people on
the route, but doing but slight damage.
DR.. John A. Berry, a we'll known and much
esteemed physician of Saco, died last night at
II o'clock. He had been in failing health
since last fall, bat not confined to the house
till within two weeks. A fortnight ago today
he came down town for the last time. Upon
that day he presided at meetiag of the Saco
Mutual Fire Insurance Co., of which he has
been president since 1876, and director since
1850. He was graduate of the Bruins wick
Medical School in the class of 1888, with DR..
Alvin Bacon of Biddeford and oihers-since
which time, except two or three years at Good
wins Mills, he has been in active practice in
Saco. His age was 70 years last September.
Geo. Fl. Babb and VIM. Kennedy were be-
fore Judge Luques today and fned-Babb on
two complaints for the illegal transportation of
liquor, $50 and costs each-Kennedy on one
complaint of same, $50 and costs. Babb ap-
pealed. Kennedy goes up for 20 days. These
are the same parties whom Deputy Mari
caught in the act of depositng a can of iiqu or
in carriage at the door of Chas. Babb's house
on the Pool road a few days ago. Mari and
Stuart were by the roadside waiting when
Babb and Kennedy drove by last Saturday
night. They watched them drive to stable on
Hill street, leave their horse and come out,
when they gave chase, catching up with them
finally and securing three or four gallons.
AT the last meeting of the First Parish Con-
gregationsl church in Saco, holden at their
vestry, the following preamble and resolutions
were passed unanimously:
In view of the fact that the time is near at
hand when the PASTORAL relations now existing
between the Rev. John L. Blades and this
church are to be sundered, therefore,
ReSolssd, That we as church regret the
resignation of our pastor, Rev. John T. Blades,
and in leaving us we lose an able preacher and
q stern defender of truth and right.
RESOLVED, That we consider him man OF
unblemlshed character, zealous al d earnest in
every work of reform, and during his stay with
us he has been untripg in his efforts to promote
the best interests and welfare of both church
and parish.
RESOLVED, That wherever his future field of
labor may be, we pray tina. Gods blessing may
abundantly rest upon him and accompany his
efforts in the cause of his Master.

Crushed Grain for Horses.

SFusueu LOT
Oats are justly advocated as the grain above
that for young horses, and those used on the
road, there is probably nothing equal to oats,
but they ought to be crushed or bruised and
not ground. In fact l think all grains are
better fed in this way, and it seems strange
that there are no good American oat crush
ers. They seem TO me simple affairs as
have seen them In English stables. A wheel
of perhaps Is inches diameter, made strong
and having perfectly fat periphery, of steel,
I presume, like steel tire, having face
about inches wide, is turned so as 10 bear
evenly against smaller one of say inches
or less in diameter, having similar face.
These two wheels are geared to turn togeth-
err, and the oats are slowly feed in by hop
per. Good oats, when crushed, are nearly
round and as big as silver three-cent piece,
and the husks are quite inconspicuous; poor
ones show more husks than grain and retain
more nearly the form of the uDcrushed oat
Barley may be crushed equally we'll with
oats, although harder, and corr, when too
green to grind, might well be thus treated.
II grain be swallowed whole it is not easily
digested, but If crushed or broken even, it is
likely to be. "Coarse NEAL" that is, the
corr usually sold for feeding in many Eastern
towns, simply because it can be cheaply pro-
duced, is better than whole corn because it is
broken aud some portion of it tolerably fine,
but all the flinty part is in large solid pieces,
which do not adhere to the cut hay, do not
soak quickly, and are slow of digestion.
When new corn is crushed although it is not
comminuted into meal its integrity is destroy
ed and is easily digested, because it readily
absorbs water or the juices of the stomach. -

The following Is too good to pass: A certain
shining star in local journalism recently was
present at the Introduction of water motor in
an Office in Lewiston. He looked upon the at
tachment with but small degree of confidence
and volunteered to stop it per force when in
motion. The machinist agreed, and the little
piston began to work. The confident quillest
rolled up his sleeve and with determination
grasped the beltingsand-wel,h he wss omnipres-
ent for few minues. Those who witnessed
the ladcrous affair say that hardly hair was
left upon the editors head but we assert that
they had all left years ago, for he is Celebrated
as the baldest in the profession.
At court today the case of Nathan D. Sander
VS.. Lorenzo Rugsles came up. Defendant

the defendant supposed was in the possession
of the old gentleman, freeman Sander. In the
course of time the mortgage Was foreclosed,
and among other chattels taken was a white

now sues, claiming that the COW was not the
property of his father, who had loaned the $3.50,
ages OF one cent. Cotton for plaintiff; Savage

The Portland daily press., 1879-04-22
Advantages of Fall manurinx.

am well 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
reasons are III f.tE tfftEtt
First, the manure Is much better prepared
for plant food than when used in its green
state.
Second, the action of frost and rains, will
decompose or puverjze all the lumpy parts
of the manure, mixing it 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 fall application,
consequently an earlier season is the result.
Fourth, vegetation is much better prepared
to Withstand drouth 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. .e-r-rS
Fifth, fall manuring gives more time for
work in the spring, which is of vast impor-
lance, especially in our climate.
Sixth, in the fall the fields and sward land
are dry and hard, teams in good condition and
we have more leisure for doing this work
than we can expect to have liz the spring.
Seventh, by fall manuring and blowing we
can expect from ten to twenty per cent bet
Ter result on an average of season than when
green manure is applied in the spring.
Eighth, in every dry season, when the ma
nure is applied in the hill especially, or boun-
tifully applied otherwise, 10 the spring, the
benefit of the manure for that spring is of
trifing value to the present crop.
These are some of the reasons why
would apply manure in the fall and p!ow it
under; and if our farmers would adopt the
practice as above, l have no doubt but good
results would tollow.-Stephen Chase, in
Maine Farmer. g..

fer to paw SIS per ton for sugar beets this sea-
SOD, and also to pay for transportation of the
same from any place in Maine to their facto-
nv. As transportation from the sea.coast of
New Hampshire or Massachusetts to Port
land by water must be cheaper than BY rail-
road from may parts of Maine to that city l
would suggest the possibility of their obtain
ing large supply of beets from the farmers
OF the sea coast. As class, they are already
mole or less acquainted with the raising OF
mangel wnIzels; and moreover, they embrace
an enterprising class, who are in the habit OF
high cultivation.
Again, most of these farmers have access
to and make large use of sea mannres, which,
with its potash and its soda, is excellent for
beet growth, though how far this may affect
the development Of the saccharine properties
may be question. BY the way, see that
fourteen pounds of seed is advised per acre.
Six pounds of good seed, should say, was
amply sufficient. The largest percentage oil
sugar for the various lots Of beets ana lyzed
at the Connecticut Experimental Sta ton,

Plant Lice.-Take three and half ounces
of quassia chips, add five drachma Stagesacre
seeds, in powder; place in seven pnts of
water, and boil down to five pnts. When
cold the strained liquid is ready for use,
either by means of watering-pot or syringe.
Sugs on Begonias.-Slugs are occasionally
seen eatinging large holes or notches in the
leaves OF all succulents and Begonias. They
usually feed during the night. Cut potatoes,
turnips, or some other fieshy vegetable in
halves, and place conveniently near the
plants. The slugs will gather upon the veg
etable and are easily destroyed.
House Insects. etc.-No insect which usu-
ally infests the house, and crawls over the
floors or woodwork, can live under the ap-
pication of hot alum. water. It will destroy
red aud black ants, cockroaches, spiders and
chibtz-hugs. Take two pounds of alum and
dissolve it in three or four quarts of boiling
water; let it stand on the fire until the alum
is all melted, then apply it with brush
(while nearly boiling hot) TO every joint and
crevce in your closets, bedsteads, pantry
shelves, etc. If, in whitewashing a ceiling,
plenty OF alum is added to the whitewash, It
will keep oil insects American Garden.

Nothing gives evidence OF thrift and enter
prise in farming better than keeping every
thing in order. There are times when even
the most painstaking of men are compelled
to let things 60 somewhat at loose ends, but
upon the first occasion of spare time and due
diligence thereafter, the wonted appearance
of things about the premises returns. At the
cost OF little time and labor when required,
the appearance of an untldy farm may be so
improved as to add considerably to its value,
and the price obtained in the event of its
sale. The contrast between neat and sloVen-
ly kept farms represents more in pecuniary
point of view, very often, than is generally
supposed. Take farm which by its appear
ance shows clean culture, from which stumps
and bushes have been removed, the buildings
kept in repair, the fences and gates in order,
the rubbish kept from the roadside and fence
corners, the tools housed when not in use,
and the stock exhibiting evidence of good
care and attention, and in the event of its
purchase it will bring relatively much more
than one equally fertile, but kept in a slov-
emily way. Weedy fields, tumble down
fences, gates with broken hinges, buildings
out of repair, implements scattered about the
farm where they we're used last, rubbish ev-
erywhere, and the inferior stock, take from
farm naturally fertile, good round sum.
