Green M'anUring,

Prof Kedzie says in the Rural Spirit (:
II believe the easiest and cheapest way
to bring up run down farm is by green
manuring. Suppose your farm is too
poor for clover, and grass makes only a
feeble growth put on it manurial crop
that will grow, such as peas or rye;
turn this under with your pillow. and
then you can raise something better
keep feeding your soil with everything
your shovel and team can command
ashes, leached ashes, if you can get them
by drawing them within five miles
muck, top soil, mari, anything that will
bring a green mantle over your fields.
Soon you can SET the clover pump to
work pumping upto the surface the in
exhaustible resources of your subsoii."

Monkeys for Breakfast.

Twas married in India. [ engaged
for our honeymoon little house-six-
teen miles or SO from any other habita-
ton of white men--that stood ON the
steep white cliffs of the Nebudda River,
which here flows through canon of
pure white marble. Close beside our
house was little hut where holy man
lived in charge of an adjoining shrine,
earning money for himself and the
shrine by polishing little pieces of mar
bic as mementoes for visitors. 1t was a
wonderful place altogether, and while
my wife went in to changeher dress the
servants laid breakfast on the veranda
overlooking the river. At the first
clatter of the plates there began to
come down from the big trees that grew
in the ravine behind 1t, from the house
roof itself, from everywhere, a multitude
of solemn monkeys. They came up
singly, and in couples, and in families,
and took their places without noise or
fuss on the veranda, and sat there like an
audience waiting for an entertainment
to commence. And when everything
wss ready, the breakfast all laid, the
monkeys all seated, went to call my
wife.
Breakfast is ready and they are all
waiting" said.
"Who are waiting?" she asked in dis
may. Il thought we were going to be
alone, and was just coming out in my
dressing gown"
Never mind" I said; "the people
about here are not very fashionably
dressed themselves. They wear pretty
much the same things all the year
round"
And so my wife came out. Imagine
then, her establishment. In the mid
die Of the veranda stood our breakfast
table; all the rest of the space as well
as the ratings and the steps were COW
cred with an immense company of mon,
keys, as grave as possible and as motion
less and silent as if they were stuffed.
Only their eyes kept blinking and their
little round ears kept twitching. Laugh
ing heartily at which the monkeys on
" looked all the graver-my wife sat
down.
"WilI they eat anything?" asked she.
CRY Them" said
So she picked up biscuit and threw
it among the company. And the result!
Three hundred monkeys jumped up in
the air like one, and just for one in
slant there was riot that defies de-
scription. The next instant every
monkey was sitting in it's place as
solemn and serious as if it had never
moved. Only their eyes winked and
their ears twitched.
My wife threw them another biscuit,
and again the riot-and then another,
and another, and another. But at
length we had given away all that we
had to give, and got up to go. The
monkeys at once rose, every monkey on
the veranda, and advancing gravely TO
the steps walked down them In solemn
procession, old and young together, and
dispersed for the days occupation.

The Value of Wood Ashes.

Wood ashes represent all the miner

contain everything the farmer must
give his crops except combined nitro
gen. Wood ashes will vary in compo,
sition and value with the kind of wood
and the part of the tree. I will take the
ash of the body wood of the beech tree
as representing the average of wood

A Plan Worth Adopting,
From the Philadelphia Press I

In 1859 M. Godin, of Paris, put up
his familistere, for the accommodation
of 800 families. To it was attached a
theater, school-house, etc. The expert
ment attracted great deal of attention
at the time, because of the prominence
of the builder and the radical departure
made from all the older methods OF
benefting the population. It is sort
of French Rochdale concern. The
workings of the plan have borne out the
best hopes of the founder. In 1880 the
concern was worth over 81 100000. The
employees number 1922. The men put
in nothing but their skill and labor.
Now the workers possess shares, or GER
tificates of savings, representing cap
ital of nearly 100000 francs, and in
twelve years, at the present rate of
progress, will own the entire establish
ment. Such an experiment might be
tried to advantage by some American
capitalists, and would very probably
lead to more satisfactory results than
are to be reachedby the ordinary course
of investment and employment.
