Waste Of Manure.

1t should be a cardinal principle with
every farmer to economic his manure
Upon it depends his success, and with
out it his labors must to a very great
extent, be without profit if not attended
to, with absolute loss. If it is necessary
to have the barn yard on hill side it is
equally necessary to have the lower
side of it protected by wall or some
other arrangement by which the escape
of liquid manure may be prevented. 1t
is almost equally important to have a
spout to convey rain water from the
roof of the barn in some other direction
than Immediately through the barn yard.
1t is bad enough that the manure heap
should be exposed to the rains which
fall directly upon without adding to it
the droppings from the roof of the barn.
If such improvident farmers were to
behold the actual value of the fertiliz-
ing material thus lost, rolling from their
purses in the shape of dollars and cents
how theoretically would they labor to
prevent this waste. The loss of single
little gold dollar would stir them up to
a greater activity than the direct waste
of hundred times that little gold dol
lar value in the form of liquid manure.
Year after year, silently but steadily the
golden streams are flowing from their
purses. Tell them of their error and
they acknowledge it but rarely does it
happen that being reminded of it in
friendly manner they make a single effort
to correct it.
How many are there who, after a life
time of steady unremitting toll, find
themselves no richer in lands or money
than when they began. They cannot
explain the reason. Other causes may
have led to such discouraging results,
but if the drain of liquid manures from
their barn yards had been checked when
they began farming very many of these
unsuccessful ones would have been as
prosperous as their more provident
neighbors. s. Western Rural.

A New Game.

The Game of Multiplication" is
what Mrs. Edward Foote, of Boston,
calls an ingenious device, designed to
make the study of the multiplication
table pastime. The idea came to Mrs.
Foote last fall, during the illness of her
young daughter and it has resulted in
a game which is not wholly unlike the
13-1+-15 puzzle in appearance, but is
unlike it in the fact that it is intended
for Young school children, and can al
WAYS be worked to practical solution,
while it affords amusement and clears
away the horrors of multiplication. The
apparatus consists of a tin tray, about
twelve inches square, containing twelve
smaller trays-one for each table. In
each small tray are thirty-six numbered
blocks, arranged in twelve lines, three
in line, the multiplier occupying the
first position in every line, the multi
plican the middle, and the product the
right. The game is to disarrange the
blocks. taking one out to give an op-
portunity to move the rest and then
move them about until all are in proper
order. 1t is said to have been adopted
by the Boston School Board.

Scotch college sold literary degrees, af-

rode to the college, was duly dubbed

Are Your Closets ventilated9

THERE is nothing so handy in house
as an abundance of large, roomy clos
cts; but because they are handy and ex-
tremely useful they are apt to be abused.
There are many things, which, as mat
ter of course, are always put into a
closet, of which the articles of outward
wearing apparel make large part.
There are also things which ought not
to go into closet, i. e., closet djoin-
ing, or closely connected with, living or
sleeping room. OF such are all soiled
under-garments, the wash clothes, which
should be put into a large bag for the
purpose, or roomy basket, and then
placed in the wash-room or some other
well-aired room at some distance from
the family. Having thus excluded one
OF the fertile sources of bad odors in
closets, the next point is to see that the
closets are properly ventilated. II mat
tiers not how clean the clothing in the
closet may be, if there is no ventilation
that clothing will not be what it should
be. Any garments after being worn for
while will absorb more or less of the
exhalations which arise from the body,
and thus contain an amount of foreign
it may be hurtful matter-which free
circulation of pure air can soon remove;
but if this is excluded, as in many close
closets, the effluvia increases, and the
clothes, closets, and adjoining rooms in
time possess an odor that any acute
sense of smell will readily detect. Every
closet in daily use in which the night
clothes are hung by day and the day
clothing by night, should have an airing
as well as the bed. If the closet can be
large enough to admit of window-and
it is in some cases-an ample provision
for sunlight and circulation of pure air
is provided in the window, which should
be left open for short time each day.
In the case of small closets a ventilator
could be put over the door or even in it.
In many cases such precautions for pure
clothing are not practicable, and the
next best thing is, to see that the door
of the closet is left open for half hour
or so each day, at that time when the
windows are thrown up and the large
room is purified with fresh air from out
of doors. In this way: first, by keep
ing out clothes intended for the wash;
and second, daily changing the air, the
closets may be comparatively pure

"A Bloomington, Illinois, young man
who is described as an amateur cOrnet-
player, was not allowed to practice in
the house and hence shut himself up in
the stable to play. He had only struck
a few notes of "See that My Graves
Kept Clean" when horse kicked him
in the head, killing him instantly. We
don't 90 so far as to say that it was right
that the young man should have been
killed, but that horse could make out a
very good case if he was human. A little
carefully considered kicking will do more
to make life devoid of suffering to poor
dumb animals than all the Berghs that
ever were born.

AT a recent inquest at Deptford, in
England, upon child eight years of
age, it was given in evidence that her
father endeavored to obtain the assist
ance of three physicians successfully,
who each inquired ''if he had the mon
ey' to pay for their attendance, and, on
learning that he could not pay until the
evening, they all made an excuse for not
attending. But before the evening came
the child was dead.

the habit of paying an annual visit to
Paris, arriving with several trunks emp

with the trunks full. Every morning
