-"Drouth is not an unmitigated evil

Farmcr. If it diminishes the present
crop it secures vigorous growth of the
subse lueut one by its fertilizing effects.
The constant evaporation of water at

next crop. Such is the benevolent
economy of Natures God bringing
good from evil. y
The practice of Topping off the tops
of shade trees for the purpose of
making them grow thick has little to
recommend it. The graceful, sweeping
boughs of the elm or the round and
symmetrical top of a maple are much
to be preferred over truncated, low
headed, bushy-stemmed tree. The
heavy looping of the tops of trees is also
injurious TO the tree. Nomatter if the
wounds seem to heal over naturally
as they seldom do-the tree inevitably
suffers. A general heading-in, prac-
ticed by means of long-handled shears,
and the occasional use Of a fine toothed
saw, is to he recommended if the tops
of shade and ornamental trees are not
satisfactory. -American CuLtjUat0r.

Methods Of Applying Manure.

After careful study and experiment |
have adopted the rule of using most of
my manure at the surface The only
exception to this rule which | make is
when | wish to manure very heavily to
permanently enrich a garden plot, and
then plough under a liberal coat of
manure and top dress in addition.
When manure is to be used for wheat,
so convinced am | of the superiority of
top dressing that | would not allow a
man to draw out the manure before
ploughing the land if he would do itfor
nothing. We want the manure APP
piled TO the wheat crop 50 as to act as
quickly as possible, for the wheat has a
short time to grow in the fall, and it is
important that it get well rooted and
make growth enough to protect the
roots before winter sets in, and the finer
the manure is, and the nearer the sur
face, the quicker its effects will be on
the young crop. | am positive that by
fiDing our manure and using it at the
surface we can double its value for the
wheat crop.
Another and still more important
reason for using manure as topdreSs-
ing is that with the manure so applied
we have arich seed-bed for clover,
which makes a stand and vigorous
growth much more certain than if the
manure was ploughed under. | believe
clover to be the cheapest and best fer
tilizer within reach of the farmer, and
that the clover will furnish better
condition of soil for succeeding crop
Of corn or wheat than the manure does.
Using manure as a topdressing on
wheat when clover is sown-as | be-
lieve it always should be- enables the
manure to do double duty. First, it
largely increases the wheat crop, and
second, it grows fertilizing crop
which requires no heavy hauling or
spreading, but is just where the farmer
wants it without extra labor. The only
objection | have ever heard urged
against the practice is the extra labor
of timing the manure. In reply to this
| would say, first, that the plant can
not use the manure till it is thoroughly
decomposed; second, we save enough
labor in drawing to the field in the re-
duced bulk and increased ease of hand
ling to largely compensate for this la
Dor; and lastly, this fine manure will
cover much larger area than that
which is coarse and lumpy. Waldo +.

Turks In Washington.

Blacque Bey, who was the Turkish
Minister at Washington from August,
1867, to August, 1873, was the first rep
resentative of the sublime porte in this
country, although the United States
was represented at Constantinople after
the original appointment of Admiral
David Porter by General jackson in
1881. Blacque Bey was not Turk,
but Leyantine, whose father. either
q Frenchman or the son of a French
man, edited the first newspaper pub
lished at Constantinople, and was, il
was asserted, poisoned by the Russians,
to whom he was very obnoxious. His
first wife was an American, a Miss
Mott, | believe, of New York, and the
successor was Levantire. They
lived in very good style at Washington,
and had three children born during
their residence here. He was a hand
some man, with a black beard trimmed
closely, and black hair, partially COW
cred by a scarlet Turkish fez. He had
a charming voice, a high baritone of
unusual sweetness and power, and used
to sing, accompanied by Mrs. Hastings,
of California, who also had fine voice,
richly cultivated. Anatiye Turk, Amin
Bey, was brought over here before
Blacque Bey's arrival by Mr.. Brown, a
dragoman of the American Legation at
Constantinople, and was palmed off as
an eminent Turkish statesman bearing
the same name, on the President and
Congress, which body voted $10,000for
his entertainment. Brown doubtless
enjoyed the profitable hoax hugely, but
his innocent protege is said to have re-
marked: "Mashallah! This is a great
country. If they treat me, who am no
body at home. so handsomely, what
would they have not done if the great
Amin Bey himself had visited Washing
