FARM AND GARDEN.

WHEN TO APPLY MANURIG.--Thc COM
mon practice among farmers is to make
Il general clearing of the yards and
barn cellars once u year, either in the
spring or fall. Either practice makes
heavy draft upon the teams, and it
has It's disadvantages. If this work Is
uoncin the spring. it is when the ground
Is soft. and other work exceedingly
pressing. If the manure Is drawn out
In the fall, and dropped in heaps upon
the field to be cultivated next season,
there is more or less waste by lcaching
and by evaporation. There is grow
ing disposition among our intelligent
farmers to apply manure directly TO
growing crops, or as near the time of
planting and sowing us possible. 1t is
felt that the sooner manure is put With
in reach of the roots of plants, the bet
ter for the crops and their owner.
Manure is 80 much capital invested,
and bears interest only rs it is ronsum-
vd in the soll. The barn cellar may be
so managed rs to manufacture and .urn
out fertilizers every month in the
year, SO that the farmer may suit his
convenience IN applying them to the
SOIL. Nhen manure is not wanted for
cultivated crops, ii Is always safe to ap-
ply ii to the grass crop, either in pas
lures or upon meadows after moving.
lor-drcSSing Is growing in favor WITH
our in rlilErut farmers. Grass pays
better than almost any farm crop in the
older States, and ihc spreading Of com
post >aVcS the necessity OF frequent
blowing and seeding. By lop-dreSsing

fields may hc kept probably IN grass

chemical triumphs is said to be an ink

cashier coming down in the morning
would find no evidence of the fraud
practiced upon him except slight puff
of ashes left in the drawer. He once
attempted to enlist the United States
treasury authorities in scheme for his
release by offering to betray the secrets
of the chemical compositions used for
extracting the numbers from bonds
and bank checks, but the proposition
was declined He is said to have in

in the Eastern penitentiary in the use
of the Morse Geographic alphabet, and
by thus means they were enabled to
carry on a correspondence at night

Somewhat of a Snorer.

Many of our readers remember Gen.
George A. Sheridan, the eloquent
stump speaker, who in two campaigns
spoke with such happy effect in
Rochester. They will be amused with
the following anecdote of him:
George was recently coming over
from Boston in sleeping car, where
he had a whole section. He was sit
ting on the lower berth in the morning,
about to put his shoes on, when he was
accosted by a kind-looking gentleman
opposite, who was also putting on his
shoes, with the inquiry: "My friend,
are you a rich MANI" George looked
astonished, but answered the pleasant
faced, tired-looking gentlemen with a
YES, I'm tolerably rich" A pause oc-
CURED, and then came another ques-
ton: How rich are you ~ about
100000 or $4,000. Why ?" "Well,
said the old man. II / were as rich as
you say you are, and snored rs loud as
| know you do, would hire whole
sleeper every time travelled"

Poison Water.

DIR. Nelson, a physician practicing
in Granville, y. Y, was recently poi
sCaed by water which had been pump
ed through lead pipe from a cistern
supplied from painted roofs and con-
ductors, The water falling on the roofs
and running along the spouts took up
in its course each time a portion of the
lead used in the paint and deposited it
on the bottom of the cistern, where it
collected in increasing quantities after
each shower. 1t was then pumped
through eighteen or twenty feet of lead
pipe. two to five feet of which lay in
the bottom of the cistern. As this
was the only water on the premises, 1t
was used constantly TO tea and coffee,
for cooking meats and vegetables, and
for drinking. The doctors illness ter
minated fatally few days ago. His
wife. who was attacked on the same
day. still remains in a critical condi-
tion-EJchGnge.

Weak Woman VS.. Tyrant Man.

Here is an illustration of what can be
done by defenseless, weak and I'M
protected woman when left alone to
deal with the tyranny of heartless man.
1t was in Booths Theatre last Saturday
afternoon. A woman entered with
seven companions, and took possession
of eight orchestra chairs. Presently
eight other claimants of the same seats
came along. There was a comparison
of tickets, and it was found that the
party in possession held tickets for the
matinee of the preceding Wednesday.
Explanation was followed by expOstu-
lation, and in turn by denunciation.
All in VAIN. The manager was sent for.
| Madam" said he, you must re-
linquish these seats. Your tickets are
valueless." That is no fault of mine.

them" Madam, ] insist. The
enemy said nothing but sat still. The
manager argued, appealed, implored,
| offered other seats, offered a box, of
fered stage-box, offered compromise
/ on any terms while the rightful owners
of the seats looked and thought I'M
speakable things. Said the garrison:
| Tell you what IL 90; give me TWO
season tickets for Bernhardt in a good
| part of the house, and will surrender.
| The manager gasped uttered a bless
ing beneath his breath, bowed and de-
clined to continue the conversation,
| Then he retired in exceedingly bad
order. He did not get the seats, but
did issue another set of free admissions
to pacify the original proprietors.
