The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1884-04-11
Spreading Manure.

The hay rake will be found most
useful implement where meadows or
pastures are top-dressed, especially if
some considerable portion of the
manure is little long or lumpy.
Spread as evenly as possible from the
wagon, and then put on rake and 90
over the ground thoroughly in at least
two directions. 1t is surprising to
what degree it will break up and
thoroughly distribute the manure.
We remember to have once gone over
a meadow in this way, where some of
the manure was long, and the rake
pulled it and rolled it over among the
stubble until it fairly seemed to wear
it out, and there did not appear to be a
place as large as a mans hand any
where in the field which did not have
some portion of manure upon it.
The rake covers the ground very
quickly, for when the rake is 50 en-
ployed the horse should be kept at a
rapid gate, and the expense is merely
nominal, and we believe it will always
pay to use it after top-dressing. Of
course, if it gathers up anything in
the way of long stuff which can be
collected in winrows that should be
gathered up with the wagon and
hauled back to the compost heap, to
prevent the fouling the next crop of
hay. And this last consideration
should always be kept in view in top
dressing meadows, for there is con-
siderable danger of it, unless these
manures should be well decomposed or
are quite short and fine.

How a Millionaire Began Business.

Josiah Mason, the Birmingham pen
maker. who spent half million on
his native town, did not acquire his
wealth without much labor and anxi-
ETY.. 1t is interesting to read how he
once called upon small manufacture
er for employment, and how the old
world tradesman, cycling him sus-
piciously, limited that he was "fright-
ened of dirtying his fingers" Young
Mason's answer was addressed to his
fingers, which he opened out, putting
the question to them quietly: "Are
you ashamed of dirtying yourselves to
get your own livingY'
This took the old mans fancy, and
as a result Mason began the business

How "Mountain Dew" is Made,

Mountain dew" says South Caro-
lima letter. they call this illicit whiskey
and it is made in peculiar way. The
stills are located in caves in the noun
tains. and thither the moonshiners
repair at night to ply their trade. The
corn is first ground and made into what
is called "meaL" Water is added and
the mass is cooked for a long time
after which barley-malt and warm
water are aided. The "mash," as if
is called, then remains undisturbed till
properly fermented, when it is put into
a huge copper still and subjected to an
even heat. Pure corn whiskey is the
result. When fresh, the whiskey looks
like water, but it is so fiery that the
iron-clad stomach of the brawny man.
ufacturer cannot stand much of it. In
a few years the whiskey takes on a
golden color and becomes more palata.

Armless, but Active.

Mr.. W. W. Query, of this city, is in
many respects an extraordinary man
He is now about 40 years old. In
childhood both his arms were cut off
about half way between the elbow and
shoulder, by sugar mill But he was
full of energy. and it was not great
while before he learned to get along
without arms. He grew to be, and is
yet, man of prominence, integrity,
and usefulness. He has wife and
several children, is coroner of the
county, acting bailiff of Americus dis
trict, and making a handsome income.
In the business of life Mr.. Guerry
hardly misses his arms. He inserts the
pen staff in his mouth when writing.
and writes as legibly and as fast as
men generally write who ere accustom-
ed to the use of the pen. He can
swim, drive horse. tie knot, shoot
a gun, and do almost anything, and do
it about as well as if his arms had
never been cut off.-Sumter Is. C. J Re.
