APPLYING MANURE ON THE SURFACE.

APPLYING MANURE ON THE SURFACE.
No loss Of importance occurs by
escape of grass from manure lying
on the surface of meadows or plowed
ground. The manure may be
spread on the land as soon as made,
fresh from the stables, without
losing any sensible portion of am
monia by evaporation. Manure
from the yard or stable rarely con-
tains such an amount Of volatile
fertilizing matter as should deter
from spreading it broadcast on the
surface when most convenient Un
less manure is very rich, as from
granted animals, and is in an
active state OF fermentation, hot
and smoking, and exhales a distinct
smell of hartshorn. there can be
no loss from exposure, and in any
case the loss will be less by spread
ing it over thinly than by dropping
it in small heaps, because spread
ing means cooling and loss of fer
mentation. But manure, when
properly handled, need not suffer
any waste from evaporation. A
moderate and regulated heating of
fresh manure results in the forma,
tion of humic acid, which secures
the ammonia from loss by evapor-
alton. Surface mauuring is es.,
pecially effective on sandy soils,
and a light dressing yearly is far
more beneficial than heavy coatings
once in three or four years. But
the best results on sandy soils is
when they are dressed with COM
post of manure and clayey muck.

WHAT ONE cow WILL Do.

A garden OF one acre may be
kept richly manured by the drop
pings OF one COW. For five years
past I have reserved one pet Jersey
COW for the use of the house, and
have kept her up in stable near
the house and fed her upon the
lawn mowings and a small plot of
grass, with the vegetable waste OF
the house and garden. The pro-
duce of the acre is more than suf6-
cient to feed the cow, and the year
round with the help of four quarts
daily of feed. This amounts to
about one ton per year, costing
about $25. I estimate the milk,
cream, and butter Of a good COW
to be worth to a family 800 a year.
That is, it would cost that sum to
purchase the amount of these used
in the family. There will be a sur
plus of milk or butter to be sold
equivalent to further sum OF $50.
The manure for one acre of garden
viii pay well for the labor of at.
tending to the COW, and in ten
years viii pay for the COW besides.
So that a good COW, when well
cared foy will produce in ten years
Che actual sum of $1,000, besides
paying for herself, her feed, and at
tention. Then there will be eight
calves besides and skinned milk
and butter-milk to partly feed pig
or flock of poultry. And then
the comfort and pleasure OF it.
I am already feeding down 8
small piece orchard grass under
some apple trees the third time, Oy
tethering the COW upon it. Some
of the grass I have just cut the
second time, and some will give a
third cutting. Fifty rows of sweet
corn are now beginning to yield
boiling ears and the stalk and husk
go to the cow. There are pea-vines,
beet-tops, small potatoes, and other
wastiness to help feed the cow lux.
uriously, and in this way the fami-
~ cow may be kept in abundance
throughout the year, while her
manure wiz keep the whole acre
growing richer eve-y year and will
provides liberal quantity for the
fower-beds and The drawf pears
on the lawn. A very large quantity
OF the best manure make by throw
ing the weeds with all the soil at
tached to them, the leaves that are
raked MP, and the ashes from the
house, together with as much soil
as may be NEEDED into shallow pit
in the cowJard and leading the
drainage from the manure gutter
into it. If q farm were only man
aged as one manages the garden,
every acre might easily pay a hun
dred dollars; but the labor is not
to be had, and one pair of hands
cannot do it for more than five or
six acres. But the time viii come
when it must be done; when the
land becomes fully occupied and
this great country has its 100000,
900 of inhabitants, number which
it can sustain with the greatest
ease with a thorough system Of cul-
tiyation.-Cor. N. Y. Times.

HE WANTED TO ENCOURAGE
THEM.

In q village not twenty miles
from Boston resided q "poor but
honest" cobbler, whose work. was
poor as well as his purse, and hav-
ing large family he found it very
difficult to 'tget along" although
largely assisted in many ways by
his townspeople, this one giving
pork, that one fowl or eggs, the
other one cast.of clothing, etc.
Some years ago one of the relig-
ious societies Of the place voted to
build church, and the parishion-
ers, being very impecunious, de.
cided to ask every man in the vii
lage to suberibe, and among the
rest the cobbler, hoping he could
and would give fifty cents or may
be a dollar, as he might thus ex-
press his gratitude.
To the amazement of all he
signed for two hundred dollars.
Then were all agog and the village
store had new topic, where it was
concluded that as he had been very
economical and assisted so much he
might have "sayed up" two or three
thousand dollars.
On the first and many succeed
ing calls the collector was told:
II cannot pay to-day"
When tie edifce was completed
and a settlement desired, a last
but very urgent request brought
out the same reply.
"When can you pay it2'

give?"
