One or two live men in each district in
Carroll county to sell the Unrivaled Washing
Machine. 1t has been the aim of the inventor
to construct washing machine which, unlike
its contemporaries, WOULD DO the WORK
AS WELL AS BY HAND, and in much
shorter time without destroying the clothes
or breaking the buttons. The Atkinson
is a machine which will stand the
most rigid examination, and do all
that is claimed for it. It is simple in
construction, thereby enabling the
manufacturer to sell at a price which
puts it within the reach of all. It is
light and durable, not liable to get out of
repair, and is easily operated. The principle
is unique and original, differing widely from
that of any machine ever designed for sim
liar purpose. The time-worn system of heat
ing, rubbing and grinding the articles to be
washed is totally ignored, and new one
founded on an established law of hydraulics,
which treats of the suction and pressure of
water and air) is substituted. RsSsn Every
good housekeeper should examine it. 1t is a
valuable addition to articles of household
economy. Wherever sold they have given
entire satisfaction. We warrant them to be
as represented. Any live man can make SIS
a week profit. 1t has been done. Write me
at once. Terms and circulars furnished on

professions They exchanged cards.

wearisomc stories. When Gazcly ar
rived at the small toxin where he was
to transact business. II possible, he pro-
cecded at once to the house whose wants
in the whisky line he had ever supplicd;
but upon entering the store he saw that
u change In proprictoship had taken
place. The proprietor camc forward.

: "GOod morning. ! see that this place
has changed ownership. j used 10 do
considerable business with your pred.
cccssor and hope TO merit you; con.

Gazcly handed him n card, not his

fortunately the name and :wo.line all
vcrtiscmcnt Of n young undertaken he
had met on the train. The merchant
looked nj the card for moment and
said:
ii am thankful to say, sir, that need
nothing in your line"
"But you soon will, hope" replied
Gazely.
The merchant knit his brows, dropped
n stitch. picked 1t up and proceeded to
knit while longer.
IL hope may not soon need your
services, sir. don't know why you
say that my predecessor ever had any
dealings with you. for he is young
man
I'll know he's young man." said
Gazcly, looking sharply at the mcr-
chant. "but what difference does that
make? He kept his cellar well stocked
with my goods, but that's neither here
nor there. I've got the best in tho
market. and Just now VIC are selling Mt

have chance to do better and advise
YOU to lay in stock at once. Now. for

Certainly not. I'm only advising

Composing Manurcs.

Will il pay to compost manurcs? is o
question which Is often asked and fire.
Guently discussed ut farmers meetings,
but never settled by definite answers,
or conclusive arguments. Whyp BE-
cause for some purposes II will pay. and
for others il will not pay.
For growing field corn or potatoes, 1t
will not pay to compost all Of the ma
nurc, but. as rule. II will pay TO com
post enough OF II to put q small guam
tity in each hill to start tho young corn
or potatoes
For gar len crops 1t will pay TO com.
post Il larger proportion of II than for
field crops. The composing of manure
simply advances II towards plant food.
or in othcr words ripcns il. At first
thought 1t would seem that, under all
circumstances, il would be best to thus
prepare manure for plant food. but on
q careful investigation II will DO found
that TO offset the advantages, there are
two ways TO lose: first. tho labor of
composing; second. the loss of the ac-
tion OF the escaped gasses on the clc-
mcnts of the soil. Every careful OBJ
server has noticed tho changed condi.
ton OF the soil, to which has boon APP
piled green manure. In the process OF
decomposition, the soil Is filled with
gases which seem 10 have the power
10 tighten It up and make II In a better
condition for plant growth. It Is boz
lievol by some that, somehow, these
gasscs In connection with tho soil
change the pure nitrogen of the air
into condition to render II available
for plant food. Whether or not this Is
80 is q question yet to be- settled. But
one thing Is evident. which Is when
green manure Is applied TO the soil and
well mixed with II. when II gets into an
active state Of decomposition. tho crops
grow very RAPID.
When il il desired that plants should
feel the immediate effects OF manure, Il
should be well rottcd, but not mixed
with other materials, except Just 70
keep II from burning. II Is rs rule n
waste of labor 10 compost manuip with
an equal bulk Of loan or muck; better
compost 1t directly with the soil, and
thus save labor.
He who In composing his manurcs
adds more to II than enough to keep IL
from burning. and the gases FROM cs.
Gaping. does not occupy his time to the
best advantage. -AassdchIsehs Plough.
