There 10 little doubt that II farm manure
Ia applied in autumn there need be no fear
OF loss from ordinary rains on stiff lands
at least. The time OF year for spreading
manure, however, as well rs the mode OF
application, must depend on the kind oil
crop to DO benefited and on the course oil
cropping. For corn 1t Ia better, perhaps,
10 haul out tho manure In the spring, Just
before time for plowiug. 1t should be de.
posted In heaps, and, when breaking up
the ground, 1t should be scattered just
ahead Of the pillow. Applied in this man
ner 1t produces marked effect on corn,
both in giving an early start and In
insuring vigorous aud healthy
growth the entire season. Farmers
who have thoroughly tested It, as q
rule, do not favor leaving the manure ly-
ing on the ground for any considerable
length Of time before turning 1t under.
When thus treated II undoubtedly loses
much OF its strength, which Is OF course a
total loss. For wheat, II the field has pre-
viously been in oats or wheat, the manure
should be put on in the came manner ss
for the corn crop-just before blowing. In
the garden and truck patch perhaps the
best way 10 to put the manure on as u top
dreRaing at the time Of planting.
On meadows and grass lands autumn ma.
nuring Is tho best, but fresh and unrotted
manure should not be used. 1t Is hest II
applied in the form OF compost. From
ten TO fifteen car loads per acre may be put
on grass land, according 10 tho length OF
tine II 10 intended to last or according To
the condition OF tho soil at the time.

Professor Budd, Of the Iowa Agricultural
College, make the seasonable suggestion
that cellars in which fruit Is stored between
picking time and the setting in Of winter
should not be opened during the day.
but the windows opened during the night
when the air is cooler. The warmer air Of
the day has its moisture precipitated by
the cold objectsin the cellar, and dampnest
Is engendered.
Fowls cost less and return more IL fed
warm, cooked food once day. Morning
is the best time to give such food. A mix
ture OF corn, oats, bran, and middlings
ground fine, is good, or the corn may be
boiled unground. 1t Is well to add portion
Of boiled potatoes, apples, or turnips, and
vary the mixture occasionally bya change
The feed should be well cooked and moi
made thin.
