The Manure Heap.

The mino Of wealth TO a farmer is
his manure heap. Upon his ability
to get u large one depends his profits
to great extent. An exchange
gives the following practical advice
10 farmers: Manure should be forked
over occasionally to make it fine. If
it is heating, then muck or loan
should be mixed with it to absorb the
ammonia which is formed during the
process Of decomposition. Sprinkle
the manure pile with ground plaster
is advisable. The plaster will alb
sorb any ammonia which escapes
fronrFhs pile and save it for the use
of growing plants. Ammonia is too
valuable Indictment of plant food to
allow it to be wasted. Again, upon
some lands plestes is an excellent
fertilizer. A great deal of material
to add to the heap could often be got
together, and the heap made to grow
in size considerably. VI

sorrel and Phosphatezof Lime.

Because in former issues We have
stated that land where sorrsEgrows
contains potash we do not always
advise against the use Of ashes for
,cthe reason that they contain many
ether elements beside potash. qPlasP
ter is good on some soils, while Oh
others it has no perceptible effect. =
Some individuals have advised thS
use of lime upon lands where sorrel
grew, because, as they say, it neu-
tralizes the acid which causes the
sourness in sorrel. Now, since this
acid does not exist in the soil, lime
can have no effect upon it. Lime is
excellent for decomposing vegetable
matter in the soil, and also for liber-
ating many minerals which become
plant food after the action Of the
lime, yet in some cases its action
may be to produce even more sorrol.
Phosphate Of lime is always a good
fertilizer, and always aids in econ
omizing the polish in the soil by in
creasing the growth Of the crops
which require it. The best way to
deal with sorrel is 10 pillow it under,
aud then make a more valuable crop
grow in its place Bone dust is phos-
phate Of lime, but the superphos.
plate Of the market is sooner avail.
able than the bone dust, because it is
much more soluble. superphosphate
Of lime should be available for plant
food as soon as applied. Some
months would elapse before the bone
dust would be sufficiently soluble for
plant food, but its effects in the soil
would be noticeable long after the
superphosphate was exhausted. 1t
might be very good idea to mix
plaster with it, but a person entirely
unacquainted with the character of
your soil could not advise with Ger
tainty. IT, however, is certain that
the superphosphato would contain
all the sulpha!c Of lime (Which is
identical with plaster that your
land would require while using su-
pcrphosphate Of lime. Bone dust,
however, does not contain sulphale

Concerning Potatoes,

The pototato was discussed recent.
ly at the Central New York Farmers
club. The fact developed in the ex.
perience Of farmers present was that
though soil and season unquestiona-
bly, have much to do with the flavor
of potatoes, the late potatoes retain
their flavor over winter and into
spring better than early sorts. Pro-
fessor Roberts found that under the
same conditions small potatoes for
seed gave The poorest result, thcmid-
die part Of large potatoes next, the
seed end next and tho stem end the
best. A whole large potatoe with a
single eye is the best possible seed
More work is needed, but better
crop secured, by cultiyating in rows
or drills rather than in hills.

Aside from that, an editor is very

Heavy Failure,
JACK AND JILL.

The Olean Democrat of last week
says: Wednesday morning the fail
ure of DeForest Weld, who has some
times been denominated the "merch-
ant prince of Western New York"
was announced. To some people the
failure may have been a surprise, but
to the more cautious and observant
part of the business public the crash
has been expected for some time-in
fact we have heard it predicted for
more than year past. At the time
of the failure Weld was the ostensible
owner of stores at jamestown, Med
vile, Titusville, Bradford and Warren,
and was, to use a vulgar expression,
lust spreading himself" The Mead
vile and Titusville stores were re-
Gently purchased of w. A. Andrews,
who in one way and another has been
connected with Yields enterprises.
BY the aid of a liberal display of prin-
ter's ink in the way of advertising
and hand bills, and the running of eX
curSion trains, and other enterprising g
devices, Weld has undoubtedly done Il
very large business, and secured more
or less trade from almost every town
in western New York. He pretended
to sell very cheap, and in some lines
did make very low prices, but it is
generally understood that much the
larger part of his stock consisted oi
cheap goods, several degrees removed
| from fir.t-class. Some newspapers in
this locality, notably the Olean Times
! has covered him with fulsome praise,
and lauded him to the skies, mt times
going so far as to advise its own town
people to patronize Weld in pre- fer.
cnce to local merchants, but the Dem
ocrdt has always opposed this idea
and repeatedly told its readers that
goods could he purchased as cheap, il
not cheaper, at home than of any
| flaSh-in -the-pan merchant like Weld.
Yields total liabilities are very larg,
and will probably approach quarter
of Il million of dollars. Judgments t.
the extent of nearly $780, 600 were en-
tered against him on Tuesday, and the
squall had just commenced. OF thi.
sum, it is said II. b. Clatiin Il Co.
hold So, 900. NeadvilIe, Titusvllle
jamestown and Bradford banks ar,
said TO be quite heavily involved,

NOE OF BASE.

This very remarkable enterprise
continues to make such progress as to
astonish its friends and astound its
enemies. Its greatly increasing pro-
portions have compelled the removal
of its headquarters from the Tribune
Building to the large and beautiful
building, No. 764 Broadway, which
is in the very midst of the "book dis
trict" New York City, and, therefore
of the publishing enterprise of the
nation. This building, though six
stories inaheight, 25 feet front and 100
feet deep, is sufficient only for the of
fees and retail store of the Company.
rhe manufacturing is carried on in
several large buildings located i'm other
parts of the city, though it is contem-
plated concentrating them soon in one
immense factory to be erected.
Their list of recent and early forth
coming publications are extremely in
teresting toall who enjoy what is cLoic-
est in literature. The Library Magazine
is unique in both form and character
and altogether delightful in the rich
ness of its contents. OF the books an
nounced, Green's larger ''history of
the English People" reduced from
$40 to ST.; Carlyle's History of the
French Revolution, reduced to 40 cts. (;
Carlyle's "heroes and hero worship"
% cents, and the Revised New Tes,a-
ment," which is promised to be manu-
featured with rapidity heretofore un-
heard of, Will attract special attention.
