Autumn Care Of Meadow Land.

Meadows should not be closely grazsd
at any time, and especially not in the fall.
They need 10 have fertilizing materials
added to instead Of taken from the soil.
Young animals are much more injurious
than mature ones, while full grown stock
that are being fattensd, and fed on rich
rations, may by their droppings add ma
torially to the fertility of tho soil. Young
growing stock Withhold large share OF the
potash, phosphoric acid, md nitrogen Of
the food to build UP their bodies. leaving
the manure comparatively poor. on ths
other hand mature fattening animals need
very little OF these three chief elements OF
soil fertility. Aside from the loss OF plant
food, the close feeding ofstock on meadow
land does mechanical damage. II the soil
is soft the feet Of the animal iniuro it, and
the close grazing pulls much i0f the grass
up BY the roots. Meadows. like winter
grains, are injured by freezing and thaw'
ing, and the plants need to be IN vigorous
condition 10 late fall. with good growth
OF aftermath for protection from the frost,
winds, etc. Well.retted manure applied
to the meadows as top dressing. will
strengthen tho plants and insure fins
crop for next season. This application IL
best WHOM made soon alter the hay IL rs
moved. Later in the season much OF thu
soluable material is washed outiof the sol
by the fall rains. Quick acting manure'
should be used IN iths growing season
stherwise loss is sustained. Take good
care OF the meadows for they suffer greatly
if abused. They are easily and often IN
jursd by animals in late autumn.

No Moro CreiliRtlOnH.

Messrs. julius LeMoyne and V. Harding,
Trustees OF the LsMoyne Crematory, at
Washington, Pa, have issued circular, in
which they say: l
After August LIST no bodies will DO received
by the trustees of the LeMoyne crematory.
outside Of Washington county, for crema.
ton. ~
Dr.. F. Julius LsMoyne erected his crema.
tory for his own uss and that OF pcrsons in
his immediate neighborhood and not for the
general public. We have admitted bodies for
incineration, from all parts Of the country,
since the death Of Dr.. LeMoyne, in order 10
carry out his view OF rsiorm-keeping the
sub sct before the public. We believe now,
from the growing interest manifested by the
people OF this country in the subject, that
other crematorics will be built and that the
public will be accommodated elsewhere.
The business has increased 10 such an extent
that 1t occupies more time than we find 1t
possible to devote to it, therefore we are now
compelled to limit the use OF the crematory
and accordingly give notice that no person
living outside OF the county in which Dr.. Le-
Moyne lived and died need make application
for cremation after the date named.

THE Virginia DuRGLARs,

Yesterday'a Cleveland Leader says: Super
intsndent Schmidt yesterday received from
Wheeling box Of stolen articles that had
been cent 10 that city by the gang OF burglars

The goods consisted OF napkins and other
property OF like character. A cameo ring

identified by the Rev. 7. ]. Leak. Another
box Of plumber is expected TO arrive soon
from Washington. The thieves had sentfhe
goods from this ctv by the Adams Express
Company on tho 18th inst, and they were
intercepted by telegraph two days after. The
thieves furmerly lived at Wheeling, and Just
before their departure two heavy silk rob-
was found when the West Sido raid was
made, and the police feel that the crooks now
in custody are tho guilty parties. 1t Is
thought that the Wheeling authorities will
ask to take charge OF them, and they will
probably be in demand In other parts OF the
country. -r r
The following Is from the Herald: Super
intendent Schmidt yesterday received letter
from the chief OF polica Of Washinrton, D.
O., stating that Harry Lowell the leader of
the gang Of burglars arreHted here, was none
other than James Lowell Stanley, q we'll

i've months ago, since which time they have
been beard from in Chicago, Philadelphia

Stanley on May 18th, which was few days
previous 10 his arrest was delivered TO s. NJ.
