4 little incident which happened to Mir. Faucet, shortly after he took his seat in parliament.

the water from the barn-yard and stable
manure and made it dry and light, it
had lost all its value They rated
the value of manure in proper
ton to its weight But we have
fortunately got beyond that. We have
learned that dry manure may be as
valuable as wet manure. That rains
may leach out manure and carry away
its substance; but the danger of this is
greater when the manure is spread
upon the unplowed land than when it
is spread after blowing. Manure
should not be left on the surface of the
land. Then it can be of little avail.
But when spread on the freshly-plowed
land the work with harrow and drag
necessary to fine and compact the
ground viii thoroughly incorporate it
with the soil. Wheat should be sown
late; but it must make acertain growth
in the fall in order to resist the vicissi-
tudes of winter. To make this neces-
sary growth when sown late the plant
food of the soil and manure must be at
once available, while its root develop
mcnt has permeated only the upper
stratum of the soil. Applying the ma
nure to the surface of the plowed land
and working it in puts it, where the
wheat can reach it at this time, where
it will do the most good. But by the
old practice the manure was put eight
or ten inches below the Surface where
the harrow could not reach it, where,
in consequence of this, it lay in Jumps,
and where the wheat did not reach it by
its roots till its season of greatest need
was past. No wonder farmers
then said that a dressing of manure
benefited the second crop more than the
first, for the second blowing brought it
to the surface. But in this day of agri-
culture the farmer must have quick re-
turns. The sharp competition, the
universal practice of better methods,
have made the profits of farming more
precarious, and the farmer cannot
afford to wait two years for a return
from the manure he has applied. The
principle represented by the phrase
''nimble nickel is as important to be
observed on the farm as in the store
and counting-room.-Johm Meloy, IN
Prairie Farmer.

Deer Hunting.

One of the favorite modes of shoot
ing deer practiced is night hunting.
A party oftwo or three take boat on
dark night and proceed to cautiously
paddle around the lake within a rod
or two of the shores. The huntsman
who occupies the forward seat wears a
curious-looking head-dress, upon which
is fastened a dark lantern. As the
boat noiselessly proceeds, the occu-
pants remaining like grim statues, the
light from the lantern throws q sudden
CLEAN upon the edge of the forest
Jungle upon the shore. Deer take ad-
vantage of the darkness and seek the
water, and, as the boat comes upon
them unawares, the light suddenly
shines in their faces, which they curl
ously watch and wonder at, not being
able to see the boat and the enemy. BY
this means the hunters are enabled to
get good view of the deer, and when
one is seen in this manner he generally
falls before the unerripg aim of the
shotgun, which are the favorite weapons
for this peculiar sport.
Another favorite mode, as practiced
by city hunters under the tutorship of
the old hunters and guides of the re-
gion, is to shoot from stagings erected
in trees near deer salt-licks. An old
rotten log in the near vicinity of deer
trail is chosen for the purpose and kept
well sailed, and sort of ladder is
made in a convenient tree and at a dis
lance of between thirty and forty feet a
narrow seat is constructed. About sun
down the hunter takes his position on
the tree and silently awaits the APP
proach of the deer, many almost nightly
traversing the woods on their way to
the lake, and always stopping to lick
the salt from the log, and the hunter,
who patiently waits through the long
hours of the night for the coming of the
deer, is generally rewarded with shot,
and if he be at all proficient is almost
sure of one or more deer in the morn
ing.
Stagings are also erected in trees
close to narrow outlets joining two
lakes, through which the deer pass on
their night rounds. Where two or
more parties join for a hunt of this
character, each Of the stagings indicated
are manned, and if the night be not too
light and the hunters remain still as
death, plenty of game is sure to be en-
countered. Within few miles of the
deer-hunting country of Wisconsin lies
the northern peninsula of Michigan,
where deer are also plentiful. In that
State the game law expired on the Goth
of this month, three months earlier
than in this State. OF course all of the
venison shipped to Milwaukee and
other southern parts of Wisconsin is
supposed to have been captured in
Michigan-and who can tell but what
it was -MaLWa'tkee EUenjng Wisconsin.

native population is of two kinds-the
Sundese and theJavanese. Each has a
distinctive language, an both are OF
the Malavan race. Tie Javanese pre-
dominate, about nine-tenths of the
population being of that nationality.
The island is the most densely popula-
ted portion of the globe, the census OF
1879 giving the population as 19,29S,-
ISL, of which 30,713 were Europeans,
3O6, O51 Chinese, a little more than 49,
900 Arabs and other Orientals, and the
balance, over 1000, 900, natives. In
very early period the Javanese attained
a hiph degree of cultivation under the
influence of Buddhists and Brahmans
from India. So ancient is the clvillza-
ton of the Javanese that no record can
be found of its origin. During later
wears the natives have deteriorated.
On the island are still to be found
works whose magnitude of construction
equals, if it does not excel, the intelli-
gence displayed in the construction OF
the Pyramids of Egypt.
The most important prOcuct of Java
is coffee, the island being one of the
principal coffee-producing countries of
the world The plantations are located
at an elevation of 1000 feet and more
above the sea, and are under the super
vision of the Colonial Government.
The most important cereal is rice.
Other products are sugar, indigo, cot
ton, pepper, tea and tobacco. During
1881 the exports to Great Britain alone
which consisted almost entirely of sugar,
amounted to e., 1852, 1872 in value. The
total exports from the island in 1880
were E15,000, 000.- Cleveland Herald.

Pasteur's Nine Anti Cholera Rules.

All table water must be boiled, and
bottles half filled with it. Before being
drunk the water should, to aerate it, be
well shaken. The pitchers or other
vessels in which water is generally
stored in kitchens ought, before they
are each day replenished, to be heated
to $50 degrees centigrade, or higher
temperature, if possible. Wine should
be also heated to 81 degrees, and drunk
out of cups which have been freshly
plunged in scalding water. All food
should be thoroughly cooked. Under
done flesh and raw vegetables promote
cholera. The gallipots and other YES
sells in which jam is to be kept, are to
be prepared for its reception by pas
sage through furiously hot oven.
Bread is to be cut about twenty minutes
before it is wanted, and toasted hard,
or rebaked quickly. All sheeting and
clothes ought to be sealded and rapidly
dried before being used. Water for
toilette purposes is only safe when it
has been first boiled, and then dilated
with thymic acid dissolved in alcohol,
or carbolic acid, in the proportion of
two grammes per litre. Hands and
face should be frequently washed with
this mixture. Plates, knives, forks,
ETC., are to be taken straight from the
boiler or oven to the dinner-table. The
ninth rule is the least practicable, if,
unless, indeed, fashion takes it up. In
this event, it would be found by all the
the ladies easy and delightful Pasteur
has drawn it up for the special benefit
Of doctors, nurses, and persons who
reside in houses OF neighborhoods Wis
tied by the epidemic. 1t prescribes the
wearing of mask made of two thin
sheets of brass, fitting well into each
other, but not soldered together. A
layer of phenolized wadding is to be
placed between the metal strata The
operation of breathing is to be per
formed through mouth and nostril,
covered with wadding. Louis XI. stood
a greater danger of being assassinateC
than any healthy person stands o
dying of cholera. Yet we laugh at tn,
precautions he took to escape from tn,

some to follow than the nine rules o
