Had to Ga ON.

In the panicky days of 1872 Balti-
more dealer went to a trusted friend and
asked his advice in regard to failing, and
effecting q cheap settlement with his
creditors.
"What are your liabilitiesp" was asked
"About $1,000"
Sand your assets?"
''Oh, I'm worth about $50, 000."
"And how much do you hope to beat
your creditors out Off"
swell, perhaps 81, 200."
my dear sir, you are next door to a
business idiot! Where you beat YOUR
creditors out of 81, 200, the lawyers will
beat you out of 80, 400. You have start
ed altogether wrong. You should be
worth $1,000 and be in debt $50, 900.
Let this be solemn warning never to do
such foolish thing again. No, sir, you
can't fail. Go back to business and paw
dollar for dollar, and it will serve YOU
just right, too"
The dealer followed the advice, and it
wasn'tuntil last year that he could bring
a failure around and settle for twelve
cents on the dollar.-WaH Street Ne,cs.

Saving Manure in Summer.

There are different modes of saving
manure the materials for which accum.
mulate on the farm. The common OF
careless farmer throws out the clearings
of his stables and allows his cattle tc
run in the yard, their droppings and the
stable manure being washed away by
the rains, and all the liquid portions
wasted except such as may be accident.
ally absorbed by the straw and litter
Others, more careful, secure the LIQUID
manure by means of cutters in the sta
bic floors, or by the use of enough litter
and absorbents to prevent its waste.
If much straw is employed the manure
heaps are left exposed to rains; if there
is but little litter the heaps are shell.
tered to prevent washing. These va
rious modes of treatment are mostly
confined to the accumulations during
winter; but to obtain the largest
amount, the required care should be
continued through the whole year. Toe
often n waste of materials is permitted
in summer. The amount of manure
might be greatly increased by saving
all that may be had the'year round
Compost heaps may be formed for Sc
curing liquid as well as solid matters
that are often permitted to become lost
Housekeepers are sometimes puzzled tc
know what to do with the various re-
fuse substances at housekeeping, anC
straw-beds have been actually emptieC
into the public streets. Weeds from
the garden share the same destination.
The tops of early potatoes are left scat
tered over the ground to the annoyance
OF the future plowman, instead of de.
voting them to the manure heap. TIC
these may be added the scranings OF
cutters and bitches, door-yard leaves,
waste from the kitchen, bones and fish,
the daily cleanings of the pig-pen, pea.
vines, vault-cleanings which have Been
mixed by daily additions of coal-ashes
or road-dust and droppings from the
hen-house; and then throwing over this
compost medley a sufficient amount OF
Stops and other liquids to promote some
fermentation; and in a few months the
heap may be worked over after some
decomposition has taken place.
Quite coarse and apparently unprom-
ising materials may be converted into
finely pulverized fertilizers by means OF
some fermentation, and working over
after rotting together for some months.
In tnls connection, and. for illustration,
the mode by which fine manure is some.
times made for the nicer gardening
! operations, may be alluded to. The
various coarse and fibrous matters, OF
common manure, is alternated in layers
with road-dust, turf, leaves. etc., and
made into a square heap like the an
nexed figure. A depression is made in
the top In the form of a shallow kettle,
to receive Stops or liquid manure. The
heap should be kept moist by the supply
in this reservoir, but not so wet that the
air can not penetrate it to promote fer
mentation- In the course of a few
months the heap will be ready to work
over: In large quantities, this manure
