Heavy Manuring in the Garden.

Rest.

To the weary and heavy laden, how
sweet is the thought of the rest prom
ised them. And in their worn and ex-
hausted state they dream of absolute
freedom from occupation as the acme
of bliss. But did you ever experience
this luxury for one short day? If not,
try it at your earliest convenience, and
you will realize before noon that rest in
the sense of having nothing to do is the
dreariest state of mans existence.
Hard and continued effort of body
or mind does require perfect rest to re-
store the wasted tissues, and nature

voluntarily to cast about for something
to do. And work for hand or head we
must have, or we fret and chafe under
he1enforced rest until it becomes more
irksome than the labor from which we
longed to be delivered.
Rest in its best and most desirable
sense will be found to consist in change
of occupation, rather than cessation
from it. Let us remember this simple
fact that has been stated so often and
by so many different ones, yet is new
to all who have not learned it for them.

acting upon it, do all in our power to
tighten our burdens and convert them
into joys, but let us not forget to thank
God that He has given us something to
do in this work-a-day world, where man
existing without the necessity for effort
in any direction is all of creatures the
most pitiable.

More Local Fairs Needed.
]. Muteh, in American AgrIculturig.

We have, perhaps, enough of great
expositions, national fairs, State fairs,
etc, to give vent to the enterprise of
the leaders in industry, and as nuclei
for the numerous demoralizing side
shows that cluster around these larger
gatherings. But do we have enough of
small local fairs and industrial shows
which come within the reach both as
to distance and productions of the Or
binary farmer and his wife, his sons
and daughters? In Great Britain, and
especially in Scotland, each neighborN
hood has its Poultry Show" or its
Glover Show" to which the neigh
bors contribute the best samples of their
own products, and they stand a chance
of being awarded honors which would
be entirely out of their reach at the
greater fairs. Every farmer can go
and see what his neighbors are doing,
and thus an emulation is aroused which
the more extensive fair can never
awaken. The hard-worked, plodding
farmer says he has no time to bother
with fairs and prize stock, and choice
fruits and fancy flowers, and it is true
if he has to compete with persons Of
wealth and leisure who make these a
part of their avocation. But most OF
ordinary contributors have time and
pride enough to keep abreast with those
whom they recognize as their peers.
While it is neither profitable nor hon
orable to do anything poorly, every
person ought to have something in
which he takes especial pride; if q
farmer, it may be his horses or his hens,
his potatoes, or even his roses; the wife
or daughter may excel with her bread,
her houseplants, or her decorative
work. If one has "hobby" it need
not encroach upon the more regular
duties and he will be sure to find time
for it; he will take as much pleasure II
it as in all his other work. He will b,
furnished with the literature of tina,
subject, and be recognized by his neigh
bors as an authority and a success in
that department, and by this effort will
receive valuable discipline and up
lifting character. He will be able tC
make that department of the local fan
interesting, while he will be the better
fitted to contribute to the other de
partment also. In the British fairs
already referred to, the young mer
have athletic sports and contests which
add interest to the occasion and alsC
stimulate apride in the manly physique
SO much needed by our American
youth. Our county fairs do not fill the
bill; while important and useful theil
territory is too extensive, their plan too
elaborate, their machinery too compli
Gated and expensive, and their occur
renceS too rare. The township would
be a better division of territory for thu
gathering we have in mind.

Waste of Manure.

Indiana Farmer
The careless way in which many
farmers dispose of their manure makes
this subject of no small importance.
But few farmers compost their manure.
They let it pile up in the barns two or
three feet deep, and then haul it direct
to the field in large, dry Jumps,
and either let it lay there until the hot
sun evaporates the ammonia and it is
lost or let the rains wash it away. Or,
may be, pillow it under, and by the
time it decays a large percent. of its
fertilizing qualities is lost. And it is
not uncommon for farmers to let the
manure lie around the barnlots and
strawpiles for years, as though it con-
tanned no value and was worthless.
And it is a very common practice for
farmers to burn theirstrawstacks, which
is very wasteful in the way it is gener-
ally done. The straw is for the most
part burned in the stack or very slight
ly scattered, and it is often burned in
the ditch. Consequently the little bit
of land that is benefited by it is made
so rich that the grain either falls or
blasts; so virtually the fertilizer is lost
at last. Now, if the straw was well
distributed over the ground and then
burned, it would be very quick and
easy way to get the benefit of its ferti.
lizing qualities, but not as good as if
scattered over the points and left to
decay.
And there is the pig pen, which is
generally built on the hillside by the
spring, brook or some secluded corner,
where the hogs are fed and fattened fol-
years, and not thing is done with the
manure except what nature washes
away to the Gulf of Mexico. Here i:
a waste which, if properly used on the
farm, would more than pay the take:
each year. 1t is also bad practice fol
farmers to feed stock in lanes or Other
places where they cannot get the ma
nure nor tend in crops. And there i;
the hen roost, which is generally al
apple tree or fence rail, or may be 6
poultry house, but not often. But the
manure is usually left piled up or ex
posed to the action of the weather fol
ages unmolested. The waste, if il
could be correctly calculated, woulC
amount, throughout the country, tt
millions of dollars annually. Ant
there is the ashpile, which is left tt

IHOPE you DON'T THINK PM A

The average rainfall in Tennessee the
first week in March was 1913 inches.
In 1882 it was 4.32 and was followed
by drouth. In 1883 it was only 10,
and splendid crop ensued. Farmers
should bend every muscle now to get
deep down into the ground and forstall
drouth, and husband every whisp of
provender to ameliorate its effect.
There is no reason why so much rain
should be followed by drouth, but the
similarity of seasons make it possible,
and if farmers guard against it and it
doesn't come, they will be that much
richer in the fall. If it does come,
they will be ready for it.--Fayetteville
