The Country Gentleman has an
article ON saving manure in summer,
which says the careless farmer throws
out the clearings of his stables, and
allows his cattle to run in the yard,
their droppings and the stable manure
being washed away by rains, and all
the liquid portions wasted except such
as may be accidentally abs orbed by the
straw and litter. Others, more careful,
secure the liquid manure by means
of cutters in the stable floors,
or by the use of enough lit
ter 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 sheltered to prevent wash
ing. These various modes of treat
ment are mostly confined to the ac-
cumulations during winter; but to OBJ
tain the largest amount the required
care should be continued through the
whole year. Too often waste of ma
terials 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 securing liquid as
well as solid matters that are often
permitted to become lost. House
keepers are sometimes puzzled to know
what to do with the various refuse
substances at housekeeping, and straw
beds have been sctually emptied into

Weeds from the

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 annoy-|
ance of the future plowman, instea of
deNoting them to the manure heap
TO these might be added the scrapings|
of cutters and dishes, dooryard leaves,
waste from the kitchen, bones and fish,
the daily cleanings of the pig pen, peal
vines, vault cleanings which have|
been mixed by daily additions of COAL
ashes CT road dust, and droppings FRONT
the hen-house; and then throwing|
over this compost medley sufficient
amount of Stops and other liquids to|
promote some fermentation; and in al
few months the heap may be worked
over after some decomposition has|
taken place.
The farmer and gardener who takes|
the pains to secure these fertilizing|
materials accomplishes two objects in|
one. He clears away offensive matter.
and he adds to his yearly supply of
manure. BY carefully preventing any|
waste at his barns, beside adding ALL
oIicSo icSOuiCoS, tlt dllOuuI VI HOlne-
made fertilizers may be at least tripled,
as compared with the amount obtained
by the careless farmer.
Quite coarse and apparently uni
promising materials may be converted
into finely pulverized fertilizers by
means of some fermentation, and|
working over after rotting together
for some months. In this connection,
and for illustration, the mode by which
fine manure is sometimes made for
the nicer gardening operations, may
be alluded to. The various coarse and
fibrous matters, or common manure, is
alternated in layers with road-dust,
turf, leaves, etc., and made into al
square heap. 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 sup
ply in this reservoir, but not so wet
that the air cannot penetrate it to pro-
mote fermentation. In the course of
few months the heap will be ready
to work over. In large quantities
this manure will be a capital thing for
depressing the ground; on small
scale and finely pulverized with a due
| amount of sand, it will answer we'll
for window-gardening.

Lucknow, almost alone and sur

eleven of them and came off un

pinned the cross on his breast, he
wound up his brief address with: "And

Transferring Paintings from One Canvas
to Another.

Transferring Paintings from One Canvas
to Another.
ITO transfer painting from one can.
vas to another is not difficult, said the
renovator. II first paste several thick
nesses of tissue paper on the face of the
painting after taking it from the frame.
When it is dry the canvas is wet thor
oughly, and I peel it from the back of
the picture, leaving the painting fast to
the tissue paper. After it dries again
I glue q new canvas to the back of the
picture, and when it has dried for the
fourth time I wet the tissue paper and
peel it of. The picture is then ready
for the usual cleansing and renovating
processes.
@Are there many important paintings
on wood in existence?"
sVery many, or there were before
they were transferred to canvas. When
the wood is so old that the paint begins
to flake of, from old age, then the only
chance to save it from ruin is to transfer
it to canvas"
II paste the tissue paper on the face
Of the painting, and then turn it over
and plane of the wood with Q plane
whose iron has o concave edge. When
the wood is worked down thin, I use q
chisel with rounded edge, and when
the white paint, which is usually the
ground work of . picture, begins to APP
pear, take off the last of the wood with
pumice stone and damp sponge"

LATENT TELEGRAM
Another san NIeteo Case.

New York, s.-The Times: Assem-.
blymAn Coter's suit in the supreme
court 10 set aside the tax levy of 1882,
has aroused some interest in Jersey City.
The ground OF the application is that
distinctions are made in the tax levy by
the exemption Of corporations from bear
ing their equal share of tho tax burden:
that it is not in Consonance with q pro-
vision Of the fourteenth amendment 10
the United States constitution, which de-
clares, "no state shall deny to any person
in its Jurisdiction 60 lal protection Of its
laws" The supreme court has declared
that within the meaning of that section,
corporatios are persons. Coter's conten-
ton is that the United Ststes Constitution
forbids exemptions to corporations, that
are not accorded to other persons
who hold and own taxable property.
The idea WAS borrowed from the plea
made by ex-senator Conkling in behalf
of the Southern Pacific Railway, and
Mr.. Caters suit turns the railroad agu-
ment against railroads with wonderful
neatness. Caters affidavit alleges that
the assessors refused to include in their
list $50, 900. 600 worth of property owned
by certain railroad corporations Judge
Knapp granted the rule requiring the
city 70 show cause. The writ IS return
able st the February term of the su-
preme court.

New York, There is evidence thai
the stock market is thoroughly cliqued,

by tbs united efforts of the leaders.
Gould has score or more of stocks in
which he is directly interested. Wander
bilt has about half as many, and Willard
is content with the manipulation of his
Northern Pacific and Oregon stock. The
leaders have these thirty-fve or forty
different properties which they have
been holding since the decline in
November, and they now expect the
public to come in and take them off their
hands at satisfactory profit; but out
siders IS yet manifest GO disposition to

the situation have about reached the con-
clusion that with the threatened revision
