WHAT A PINT OF MANURE DID.

A Wisconsin farmer sends the fol-
lowing to the American Agricultu-
rist Last year, in hauling yard
manure across field, afterwards
planted in corn, some of it scattered
off ia driblets, from handful to
piot in a place. When planting the
corn, found portions of these drop
pings, and when noticed, drew them
into the hills, and with the hoe mixed
them ia with the soil as the seeds
were dropped. 10 three instances
where large handful or about pint
of tho manure was put in thus, stick
was driven down to mark the hills.
When hoeing we noticed that in these
hills the corn plant had started off
more vigorously, were greener, and
the thirG hoeing they were six to
twelve inches higher than other hills
adjoining
Our curiosity being awakened we
followed up the observations, and
when gathering the crop, each of the
three stalks in all the TIN ee hills had
on it two large plump ears, while
the surrounding corn did not aver
age one good year to the stalk.

DIR. TAzMAaE ON TIE HORSE.
What slfaIlIsay about the NAL
treatment Of this wonderful creature
of Code A man who owned 1000
horses, some 10000, wrote in 'he
Bible, "a righteous man regardeth
the life of his beast" Sir Henry
Lawrence's care of the horse was
beautiful and Christian. He says,
Il expect | shall miss Conrad, be-
cause [ have taken so much care OF
him. / do not believe in the trans
migration of souls, bu. when SEQ
men who cut and bruise and whack
and whale ard strike and maui and
outrage and insult the horse, that
beautiful servant of the human race,
il seems to me that it would be only
fair that each culprit should pass In
to some poor, miserable brute to be
beaten and whacked and cruelty
treated, and frozen and overdriven,
an everlasting stage horse, an etern"
al traveller on tow~path. 1t ought
to be understood tina. if man over
drives a horse, or feeds him when
hot, or recklessly drives nail into
the quick of his hoof, or whips him
to see him prance, or so shoes him
that his fetlocks drop blood, or puts
a collar on a raw neck, or unneces-
sariIy clutches his tongue with
twisted bit, or cuts off his hair until
he has no defence against the cold,
or numerically abbreviates his nat~
uraI defence against insectile annoy
apce, he should be made himself to
pull.aud let his horse ride.
But whatever can be done for the
development of his swiftpess and his
strength and his majesty ought to he
done. am glad that large books
have been written to show how he
can be best managed, how his all
ments can be cured, and what his
capacities are. 1t would be shame
if in this age of the world, when the
florist has turned the thin flower OF
the wood into gorgeous rose, and
the pomologist has changed the acrid
and natural fruit of the ancients into
the very poetry of pear and peach
and plum aud grape, and the mlser>
able creatures Of old time barnyards
have become the Devonshire and
the Attorney aud the short horn,
that the horse, grander than them all
should get no advantage from our
science, our civilization, or our
Christianity. Groomed to the high-
est point of soft brilhance, his How
ing name a billow of beauty, his
arched neck in utmost rythm OF
curve, the harness in graceful draP'
ing, driven to the furthest end of ex
cellence, blanketed in comfortable
style, this long.tried and faithful
servant of the human race deserves
all Kindness, all care, all reward OF
succuleut forage and soft litter and
paradisiacsl pasture field.

TOLLING THE BEES.

From the Summerville, Ca. Gazette.
Some Ii ne ago, a small swarm Of
G. j. Meyers bees came out of the
hive and started off, he followed
them. Back of Judge Hawkins
cabinet shop few them settled on
a small limb, close to the ground.
He sat down with bis head close to
the bunch, looking for the queen.
In minute or two it occurred to
him that bis hat was getting quite
heavy. Putting up his hand, he
found that the bees we're settling on
it. Rising up quietly, be walked
back home, wearing his hat covered
with bees, a good many of them
crawling around his neck, and shook
them off 10 front of an empty hive
They went in, and 10 hour or two
were making honey.

Tho Reformed Premium Tract.


A report has been made by the committee
entrusted with the duty of reviewing the
manuscripts for tract on the subject of
"The Reformed Church in the United
States," for general distribution, in order
to determine which one is entitled to the
premium of $40 offered by Rev. Chas. G..
Fisher, manager of the publication inter-
tsts of the church.
The committee consisted of Revs. J. A.
Peters, j. B. Shumaker, John G. Fritchey,
John S. Stair, and Messrs. Christian
Cast, John B. Roth, Charles Denues. In
their report they say I'VE have received
six manuscripts on the subject assigned,
to which We individually, as we'll as in
our collective capacity, have given care
full examination. The decision which We
have unanimously reached is that the
manuscript bearing the signature of Mel
ancthon, both as to matter and form, ap-
proaches nearest to the idea which you
have proposed, and therefore, in our
judgment, is entitled to the reward"

1t was these reforms which enabled the
controller to say in his last annual report:
"The burdens Of the tax payers are be-

The PattIsonian Nethed.

The Office of controller of the city of
Philadelphia is the most important in
the organization of that municipality.
The salary attaching to it is double that
of mayor; its responsibilities are greater
and, accordingly a. the Incumbent Of it
is faithful, intelligent and honest, or
careless, ignorant and dishonest, the ex-
penses, the debt and the tax rate of Phil
adelphia will be diminished or increased.
The duties Of the place are very much
more than clerical, a the ringsters have
been made to feel since Mr.. Pattison has
been its incumbent. The controller is the
check upon unlawful expenditures and
exorbitant bills. During the past twen-
ty years nearly every city in the coun-
try has suffered from the license which
its authorities have INDUCED in to con.
tract floating and bonded debts for cor
rupt and extravagant purposes. Obi
cations have been piled upon each other
until, despite a constantly increasing
tax rate, upon an increased valuation of
city property, each year found the mu-
inequalities deeper in debt, their interest
account heavier and the taxes more
burdensOme. The whole country was
shocked some years ago by the exposure
of the New York methods of municipal
spoliation, but few cities of any consid-
cradle size in the country have been
exempt from similar operations, and as
consequence the total municipal and
local indebtedness of the country, large
ly resulting from shiftlessness and pecu-
latiOn in the administration of city gov
ernment, far Outruns the aggregate of
the national debt.
That Philadelphia was notable illus.
tration of this tendency may be readily
seen from the following figures, showing
the total funded and floating debt at the
beginning of each year, and the cost of
the departments for the entire year:
