II. L. YEsLER's FIRST ADDITION TO
THE CITY OF SEATTLE.

The great rush for lots in this addi-
ton is unprecedented. Over fifty of
them sold in the last four weeks. They
are one mile east from the postoftce. on
the shortest and most direct route TO
Like Washington. Mill street extends
through the addition. The lots are
small farms by themselves. being 6Oxl2S
feet in size. They are situated on
high plateau. overlooking the bay. and
in the near future will undoubtedly be
right in the heart of the Queen City
of the Pacific coast. These lots are
NOT offered for sale to spectators for
cash. The plan is to give every man.
no matter what his financial circum-
stances. a chance to secure lot or
block of land, that as time rolls
round" he will have reason to rejoice
instead of weep over his purchase. 1T
he is Spectator and pays cash down
for his purchase, we bind him to clear
and fence his lot or lots within year.
If he is a poor man, DESTROYS of secur-
ing a home and saving rent, we give
him a years chance for bis life, and if
he behaves himself well, makes good
neighbor. and especially If he clears
and improves his lot nicely, We give
him better chance. We prefer selling
lots to this class of people on easy
terms, than to receive all cash IN
hand. Our object Is to increase and
multiply" homes and improveme IS,
that our census returns may show a
population of 10000 in 1884. 5000 in
1883, 10000 in 1892. and 10000 in 1885,
with corresponding wealth. There are
abundant resources in the lakes and
rivers, the hills and mountains, the
plains AMI valleys behind Us. and the
broad Pacific before Us, to warrant this
happy state of affairs, and they will be
properly utilized to this end by our
wide awake citizens, and don't you for
get it, If yon do, you may lose the
chance to secure one of the finest,
largest and cheapest lots in the city.
Price 500 each for inside lots; $3.50
for corners, with SIS off for one corner
and two inside lots adjoining. Apply to
office, Seattle, Wash. Ter. Deci 81.
"P. S.-No matter how sleepy man

central position and the certain great
ness of our city. His first move is to
purchase real estate; and history re-
cords the fact that the sooner he wakes
up and makes his purchase, the happier
he is: as every day adds to his wealth.

Farm and Fireside.
There is no doubt that in all wheat grow
ing sections where snow does not fall in sui
ficient quantities to cover the wheat plants
or the meadow grasses most OF the time dur
ing the winter some protection should be
given Old straw or coarse barn-yard manure
scattered Ihinly over the surface will be
found 10 be of special advantage. The beat
results from manure follow its application
earlier in the season; that is, when the soil is
being made ready for the drill. The rank
growth which is thereby produced is of itself
a good protection. When this has been neg
lected the next best thing is to scatter unrot-
ted manure upon the surface at the begin
ming of winter / have found that the ap-
plication of manure upon the surface
of a fairly level timothy meadow is
an excellent plan. The rain and what little
snow may fall in this latitude render por-
ton of it soluble, so that the liquids will be
assimilated by the young roots when most
needed while the coarser particles of man
ure will gradually decay, thus continuing
to feed the plants during their subsequent
growth.
The practice of burying the manure deeply
snd out of sight is very properly going out
of fashion. II is better to have the manure
near or upon the surface so that the rains
can reach it and dissolve the soluble salts
and by percolation carry them down to the
hungry roots of plants. In the ordinary
method of extracting the potash from wood
ashes the teaching process is downward
one. 1t is the same with the soluble or most
valuable portions of the manure. By the
surface application is this desirable object
attained, but another equally desirable one
results, and that is natures method of pro-
tecting the surface soil from sudden freezing
and thawing is accomplished.
Manure should not in this and more
southern localities be applied on the surface
of steep hilsdes when the soil is frozen.
Such an application, if followed by a rain,
would cause the soluble portions to flow
over the surface and much would be lost.
Wherever and whenever the water of rains
and melting SHOWS can find its way into the
soil, the spreading of the manure broadcast
is advisable, except on very gravelly or thin
sandy soils. Manure can sometimes be
spread tc good advantage on the snow, pro-
vided the ground is unfrozen beneath it.
There are exceptions to all general rules, but
this will hold good, that mulchingis nature s
method of producing plant food, improving
the soil by the continual decay Of vegetable
matter upon the surface and projecting
vegetation from the destructive influence of
drouth and the adverse extremes of tenn
perature.
