STABLE MANURE THE STANDBY.

The constantly increasing use of COM
mercial or chemical manure in this cOun-
try is an indication of progress in agri-
culture but it is well to do things with
moderation. and to hold fast the old that
is proved, while accepting and utilizing
to our best advantage the good things that
are new. Prominent among the old that
should not be neglected is stable ma
nure. not only its use. but also its careful
manufacture we should not merely utilize
what we cannot help making, but we
should make as much of it as we can prof
itably. II will of course not pay to keep
animals solely to serve as machines Tor
working hay, straw and roots over into
manure. and then to sell them at loss:
but while the vicissitudes Of the local mar
kets may occasionally reduce the price
of stock to so low II point as to produce
this result, we do not think that any tair-
minded farmer will contend that as gen
eral thing he cannot sell well-fatted
beeve, or good heifer. or a sturdy brace
of steers that he has raised, for more than
their cost. If he has fed them poorly and
they are lean and scrawny, he may not
find buyers if he has fed them well,
somebody will take them at paying
price; and the more literally they are
fed. the better their manure. And when.
the farmer has this manure he knows just
what it is good for, and whathe can do with
it, if he has had any ordinary amount of
experience to guide him in his business;
and it is of all manures the least
likely to give him the go-by, with the
plea that the season was unfavorable
for its work. Used properly, as every
good farmer knows how to use it, it can
never do any harm, notwithstanding some
of the foolishness that is occasionally seen
in the papers about the matter. In an AZ
ticle which has lately come under our no.
tce we are treated to several assertions as
to the bad effect of stable manure on the
quality of certain crops. for which we be-
leve there is very slight foundation if any
at all and when there are not assertions
rs to harm to that has been done, there are
suggestions, supplied by the writer's fer
tile Imagination, of greater harm that may
be done. 1t is asserted that vegetable are
more watery, and otherwise of poorer
quality. when manured with stable manure
than when chemical manures are used
that pigs dung imparts flavor of its own
to roots and to tobacco; and 1t is suggest
ed that the decaying animal matter of this
manure may cause disease in animals that
feed on grass produced with its aid. Farm
ers should learn by practice how to make
profitable use of chemical fertilizers; but
they should not be led by any such wild
statements and hints as these to give up
stable manure it is. after all. the staple
feeder of the crops of any long-settled
country, and in the present condition Of
things the human population of the world
cannot be fed and clothed without its as
sistance.-New York Tribune.

When a board of eminent physicians and
chemists announced the discovery that by
combining some well known valuable reme-
dies, the most wonderful medicine was pro-
duced, which would cure such a wide range
of diseases that most all other remedies could
be dispensed with, many were sceptical but
proof of its merits by actual trial has dis
pelled all doubt, and to-day the discoveries
of that great medicine, Hop Bitters, are hon.
ored and blessed by all as benefactors.

THE Conklug Sprague ugliness is
the first that has occurred for some
time which mas not made the Globe
Democrat slop over. 1t is wholly and
sadly silent. Meanwhile Mrs. Sprsgue
publishes letter which tells of her
destiiution and of Sprague's endless
neglect of heraelf and children and of
his hopeless inebriety. Whatever her
vices she doubtless tells the truth of
Sprague aud to the extent that her
wrongs would justify wrongful con-
duct she is to be pitied and forgiven.
But the four children should have been
spared the infamy incident to this
continuous, unqlushing intimacy with
ConkliRg. But the end has come and
Mrs. Sprsgue and Mr.. Conkllng should
both he divorced and shipped to Alas
ka. This country will always be too
ho to hold them. Can't Hayes be in
duced to make Conkling governor or
something in AlaskA9 Il must be q
good place for fellow to cool off
and simmer down. II may be proper
to say of Mrs. Kate Sprague, the
| daughter of the renowned Chief JUS
tice Chase, that she was always ambi-
tious and not discret and it was either
her misfortune or her fault that from a
very early age she has been involved
in scandals. Before she was sixteen,
and when her father was Secretary of
the Treasury, tde Washington gossips
were filled to OVERLOOKING with &C.
counts of her Behavior. When she
married it was supposed that she
would govern her conduct with more
circumspection. In 1878 the great
house of Sprague failed. 1t was trying
to do business to the amount of$40,-
600, 900 on a capital of S13. 600, 900.
Its collapse was tremendous. The
trustees, who attempted to save some
thing for the creditors, also failed.
Since then William Sprague has kept
pretty steadily in that condition which
our dispatches describe as unnatural
excitement meaning that he has I'M
bibed more alcohol than he could as
simulate. He has not lived with his
family much of the time. II his wife
has sorrowed greatly over her filic-
tons she has COZ trived not to show it
in her face.
