"One Of the most prominent was

that he was obliged to resign the ca.
bernatorial candidacy in Indiana Tour
years ago at the indignant demand Of
his party. Another was Lieut, Gov.
Hoskins, of New York, whose career
as a representative in Congress was so
disgracoful that he was defeated in a

candidate in 1876 for re election

Winter Manuring.

The practice OF spreading manure in will
ter, as it is manufactured at the barn is be-
coming yearly more common, possessing as it
does the important advantages ofsaving hand
ling but once, preventing the poaching of tie
soil, being well dittuscd through the soil Ivy
spring, equaIizina labor and keeping the barn
yard clean oflarge heaps ofaccumulatcd man
ure. But we find that many still hesitate,
for fear it will be washed away on the frozen
ground. They omit the vital question
How will floods of water occur while the
ground remains wholly frozen? The same
thawing that brings floods from rain or melt
ing snow softens the surface of the earth
enough to absorb and hold the soluble portions
OF the manure, except in the very small space
in fields which constitute the bottoms of hol-
lows or the beds of streams, and here the
manure need not be placed On all the rest
of the surface melting SHOWS furnisha small
and slowly moving supply of water, wholly
insufficient to carry off the manure in mass,
and conveying very slowly oversize surface the
soluble parts of the manure as they are grade
ually leached out from the solid SPREADING
The same result occurs during rains Let
us examine for moment the small amount
ofmanure on a given surface after spreading
q copious supply and see how easily the soil
can retain all that is valuable If thirty two
horse loads are made to cover an acre
the stratum will be only the fourth of an
inch thick, and the soluble part would
constitute mere film. Before there could
be water enough in time of thaw TO carry
this portion off, the surface of the field
would be thawed to depth quite equal to
absorbing and holding all. We have
experimental fully on this point by placing
heaps of manure in winter several inches
thick on steep hillsides fgrass The melting
SHOWS and the copious rains of early spring
had full chance to wash this manure, or at
least its cnriching portions, down the steep
hill; but in no instance could the increased
luxuriance in the growth of the grass be
traced five feet below the manure heaps II
had been all absorbed by the soil at once as
fast as washed from the manure. These OK
periments We're made on strong or rather
clayey land, which is generally understood to
possess more absorbing power than lighter
soil, but those who have tried this course on
lighter land make an equally favorable report

House Plants in Winter.

Most people who have not special conyc-
nience for keeping house plants try to keep too
many. 1t is with plants as with children; a
few well cared for are vastly better then null
titude neglected. Before spring, house plants,
where too many are kept are either frosted
burned by excessive hot and dry air, or ruin
ed by insects. Promising, then, that it is
best to begin sparingly, or throw away part
of the present stock, a few of the choicest
may be made source of real pleasure AS
this is all that most amateurs care for, it is an
absurdity to keep a great quantity of house
plants in way that can only prove an an
| noyance.
| The excessive dry heat of coal stoves or fur
naces, which is relied upon to prevent freez-
ing in severe cold weather, makes an atmos-
| phere too hot and dry for most plants. Bet
ter success may be had with wood fires,
provided little extra care is given cold nights

which constantly accumulates and stops the
lungs of the plants. l do not object to hay

To REJUvENATE OLD GRAPEvINEs.-The
editor of the PracttcM Farmer says: "Hav-
ing on our premises, planted by former own
ers, probably twenty years ago, half dozen
old grapevines, with large weather-beaten
trunks or stems, which made annually but
little new wood, and yielded but very few
poor grapes, two seasons ago we cut off the
branches, and laid the main stems down in
trenches, covering with about a foot of earth.
Vigorous and healthy shoots sprang up in
great abundance, the weak ones of which
were broken off, and leading ones, at proper
distances, trained to the arbor The new
growths are now clean, healthy and strong
sufficient entirely to cover the large arbor the
present season; we now look for bushels of
fruit from the new bearing wood. We
see old grapevines everywhere doingno good,
and which could be made young and thrifty
by this process.

SCENE IN CHURCH.-Mr. Collamore is very
deaf. Last Sunday, in the midst of the SER
vices, MIR. Hotf, who sits Immediately behind
Mr.. Collamore, saw spider travelling over
Their latter's bald head. His first impulse was
to nudge him and tell him about it but he re-
membered that Mr.. Collamorc was deaf, So he
lifted up his hand and brushed the spider off,
Hoh didn't aim quite high enough, and con-
sequently, in his nervousness, he hit Collamore
quite "a severe blow. The old gentleman turn
ed around in a rage to sec who had dared to
take such liberty with him, and Hoff began
to explain with gestures the cause of the oc-
currence. But Colamore, in Il loud voice, de-
manded what he meant. 1t was very painful
to Hotf. The eyes of the whole congregation
were upon him, and he grew red in the face,
and in desperation exclaimed: "Therc was
a spider on your head" "a white place on
to your" said Collamore. You'll know
what it is to be bald-headed yourself some
day" cit was spider" shricked Hotf, while
the congregation smiled, and the perspiraton
began to roll off his face Certainly it's
wider" said Coamore, and got more in it
than yours But you let il alone-do you
mind? You let my head alone in church,
Mr.. Collamore," shricBed Huff, there was
q bug on your head, and | brushed it off-this
way" and EIotf made another gesture at Col
lamore's head. The old man thought he was
going to fight him then and there and hurl-
ing his hymn-book at Hoff he seized the
kneeling- stool on the floor of the pew, and
was about to bang Mr.. Hoff, when the sexton
interfered. An explanation was written on
the fy-leaf of the hymn-book, whereupon
Mr. Collamore apologized in a boisterous
voice. and resumed his seat. Then the SER
vices proceeded. They think of asking Mr..
Collamore to worship elsewhere.

SOFT BEDs-There are differences of opn-
ion in regard to the best beds for refreshing
sleep, some persons advocating soft and some
hard beds. The difference between them is
that the weight of a body on a soft bed presses
on larger surface than hard bed, and con-
sequently more comfort is enjoyed. Hard
beds should never be given to little children,
and parents who suppose that such beds con-
tribute to health, by hardening and develop
ing the constitution, are surely in error
Eminent physicians here and in Eng
land-concur in this opinion, and state that
hard beds have often proved injurious to the
shape of infants. Birds and animals cover
their offsprings with the softest materials they
can obtain, and also make soft beds for them;
and the softness of bed is not evidence OF
its being unwholesome. But if it is not kept
sweet and clean by daily airings and frequent
beatings-whether it is hard or soft-it is
surely injurious to health,
