Wintering Stable Manure.

SOME contend that, in order to pre-.
serve its fertilizing salts, stable manure
should be covered by a roof. If it be
pure and without litter of any kind, il
is undoubtedly best to have it well
sheltered from sun, wind, rain and
snow; but if, on the contrary, the ma
nure abounds with litter, or it is COM
posted with sod, muck or peat, shelter
over it is injurious rather than bene fetal;
tor the outside elements are just what
it requires to assist in more rapid de-
composition and finer pulverization,
which better fit it for application to
spring crops. Rain and snow contain
more or less ammonia, according to the
season and the frequency of the fall of
them; and these, saturating the manure,
add considerably to its fertility in the
course of a few months. AS l have
neither sod, peat or muck, but plenty OF
coarse marsh hay and straw, L use
these lavishly for stable bedding. In
addition L also use them in making up
manure heaps in the following manner.
Make a bed of one or both of these,
foot thick, on the open ground where
most convenient, and daily spread all
the stable manure over this bed till it
is about four inches thick; then put on
the next layer of straw or hay only six
inches thick, and over this layer of
only three inches of manure, and thus
proceed till the heap is rs high as is
wanted, finally with layer of six inch
es of pure manure without litter in it.
This last is necessary to top the heap,
in order to make it rot equally in a
short time from top to bottom. usu-
ally make the heaps about five feet
high, and they soon settle down to four
feet.
Leaves of trees may be substituted
for hay and straw when obtainablc, if
neither of the latter can be had. Ma
nure thus heaped up never fires, al
though deconposing rapidly, and none
of its salts filter through the bedding;
all are retained by the several layers of
hay and straw, and assist in rotting
them, and making the whole heap
homogeneous mass. The object in
having the lowest layer twice as thick
MS the subsequent ones is to insure its
saving all the salts that may be washed
down from the other layers into it

hapS 1t should be called firmneSS, that
Hepsy discovered early in her married
life could not be evaded. She did not,
either, feel quite as tenderly toward
Rover, when she thought of her three
year-old Sunday bonnet that must be
worn all the coming summer.
The next morning the dead hen, with
much objection on the dogs part, was
tied securely about Rover's neck. He
felt the disgrace-or the Inconvenience
and with a short, angry yelp, fled into
the yard as soon as he was free of res
straining hands; yet, when his anxious
mistress sought him out an hour alter
ward, anxious to see if the punishment
had been effectual or not, she found he
had paved and rubbed at the string till
it was broken, and now the feathers of
the hen lay scattered all about him, and
its last leg was i'll the process of crunch
ing between those white teeth. He had
discovered that hens were good to eat.
AT sight of Hepsy he fled and made
straight wake for Blisset's yard; but
that astute and wary man had strung n
couple of wires above his picket fence,
and Rover fell back ANONYMOUSLY in
stead of bounding over into the midst
of the fat fowls whose taste he had found
so agreeable.
Hepsy. in full pursuit, taking a little
more direct track than Rover, and Who'll
ly intent on his capture. did not see the
pail of soap-grease which Mrs. Blisset
had set out in readiness for the weekly
visit of the ashman. 1t was too I'M
savory to be put beside the gate into
the road, and it had been arranged to
leave it just by the fence corner. where
it abutted on the Tucker lot. but the
fence on Ephraim' ground had given
way lately. and through this gap Hep
sy went while Rover made his forced
march out of her gate by the road, aud

What is q Gentleman? ?

IL is almost definition of a gentleman
10 say he is one who never intlicts pain.
This description is both refined and, as
fur as it goes, accurate. He is mainly
8nccupied in merely removing the OBJ
stacles which hinder the free and unem-
barrassed action OF those about him and
lle concurs with their movements rather
than take initiative himself. His bene-
fits may be considered us parallel to
what are called comforts and comforts
and conveniences in arrangements OF a
personal nature; like an easy chair or a
rood fire, which do their part in dispell-
ing cold or fatigue, though provides
means of rest and animal heat without
them. The true gentleman, in like man
lier, carefully avoids whatever may cause
Il Jar or jolt in the minds OF those with
whom he is cast; all clashing oil opinion,
or collision of feeling, all restraint or
suspicion OF gloom, or resentment If
he be an unbeliever, he will be too pro-
found and large-minded to ridicule re-
.ligion or to act against it; he is too wise
to be dogmatist or fanatic in his in
fidelity. He respects piety and devotion !;
lid even supports institutions as yener-
able, beautiful and useful to which he
does not assent.
