On the shoot.


An amusing incident occurred yes
terday afternoon, the principal actor
being young painter named Frew.
d. M. Reese said something to Frew
about the latter's work on Carver &
Co.'S store which he construed into
unfavorable criticism, became angry
and wanted to fight. Reese being u
much larger and heavier man than his
excitable assailant mildly refused to
fight. Frew then went ont and Dor.
rowed OF hired two great Colts revol-
vers and when Reese came down street
met him and insisted that they should
fight out the quarrel on equal terms.
It was an amusing scene to see Frew
with gun IN each hand demanding
that his fancled enemy should take
one of them and fight with him, while
Reese mildly "shaffed" the young
man and lectured him on his foolish
ness. Frew finally returned the guns
where they belonged and ended the
more serious aspect of the row,
though he afterward assailed Reese
with his fists and was gently repulsed.

Protecting NEannres.

There is some difference of opinion as to
protecting manures against rain, wind
and the exhaustive effects of the sun,
Doubtless all these have an injurious in
luence upon the manure heap, and it is
certainly true that, without any moisture
from rain, it will not be improved. How
ever this may be we are very certain that
unlimited exposure to the weather will
prove highly injurious to the quality of
the manure. A leading farmer told us
some time ago that he regarded the COM
plete exposure of the manure heap through
the winter and until it can be used in the
spring, to damage it 80 per cent. In other
words, one load of well-protected manure
is worth two of the exposed. This seems
almost incredible, but it may not be far
from the truth.
There is no question that a subject which
so vitality concerns the farmer as this one
of manure, and causes him to give so
much attention to il, possesses great merit.
His straw is not to be sold because it is to
be converted into manure. Stock is fed
through the winter for the express pur-
pose Of accommodating manure. Articles
that scarcely pay to send to the city are,
nevertheless, hauled there in order that
manure may be brought back as a return
load; and yet the whole of the manure
gathered is frequently all the season eX-
posed to the sun, wind and rain until it is
greatly diminished in value-one-half, ac-
cordlng to the opinion of our agricultural
informant. The trouble is that few really
believe that exposed manure undergoes
this serious loss. Hence, in arranging
farm buildings-and we know many that
are so arranged-it will pay we'll to look
almost as much to the preservation of the
manure as of the hay or grass; and those
whose buildings have no provision for this
purpose cannot spend $25 to $50 better
than in putting up shed under which
the manure heap may be protected against
these adverse Germantown
telegraph.

In Byam's "Wanderings in Chill and
Peru" we find the following remarkable
illustration of one of the we'll known
laws of heat: ''Feeling very cold. we de-
termined to have some soup to warm us.
and as we had plenty of meat and onions,
we cut them up, put them into a saucepan
with salt and Cayenne pepper. and set
them on to boil. L only relate this for
the information of those who have not been
to great heights, those who wish to 90
there, and also of those who, perchanee
may believe that boiling must be
the same thing all over the world. After
our soup had dubbed away in the most
orthodox style for more than two hours
we naturally concluded that our sbouil-
lon was ready and the meat perfectly
done, especially as the last had been cut
INTO rather small pieces; but, to our
great surprise, we found the water al
most cOlOrlesS, and the meat almost as
raw as when it was first put into the pot.

Farm Work for january.

This first month of the year is usually
replete with good intentions that, we are
sorry to believe, are often put aside as
soon as entertained. But there is one
practical and useful hint we respectfully,
yet most urgently, desire tO-call to your
attention while you are resolving upon a
course of guidance for your coming year
of farmers life. 1t is the alI-impOrtant
fact that you should keep farm books as
strictly as you keep your mercantile and
professional books. Begin at once. The
amateur farmer in after years will be well
repaid by looking over such account books,
by the undisputed evidence of his success
or failure IN regard to some fayOrite ami
NAL, or some theory in regard 10 the cul-
ture of particular crop, or in reference
to his peculiar idea of improving the soil
os some special field. The practical farmer
who has made agriculture his means of
livelihood cannot we'll afford to run a farm
unless he keeps regularly a strict account
book. Begin, then, at once and Open a
general account VS.. the farm. Both a
debit and credit account, charging the
farm with per cent. upon its cost and
the cost of buildings, and 10 per cent. as
loss on the gross inventory of farm uten-
sils and implements, and stock of every
description, and the full amount of such
other expenses as have occurred during
the year, such as hire of labor, seeds, fer
tllizers, taxes, blacksmith work and other
repairing and Improvements. Then credit
it with full house rent, fire-WOod, vegeta-
bies, meats, butter, milk, keep of pleasure
horses, poultry, per centage Of increase
in value, sales of crops of all sorts. sales
of stock, ETC.. and fair percentage on the
increased value of stock during the year.
The difference between the footings of
these accounts will show whether the
farm is paying investment or not
Every January a full taking of stock
should be done as accurately as the mer-
chant annually takes his account of stock
on hand. Thus every farmer knows eX-
actly how he stands, as does the careful,
prudent acknowledgement Farmer.

The Road to wealth.

a correspondent of the COuntrg Gentle
man, writing from Duchess county, New
York, says that the town of Armenia, in
that county, has tried with marked sue
cess the plan of keeping a force of four
or i've men at work on the highways
through most of the year under the su-
pervision of an experienced and skillfttl
builder of roads, who gives his attention
constantly to the work. Every part of
the 70 miles of highway in the town is in
good condition, and the expense of keep
ing it so has been much less than it could
have been by the old method. The new
plan has greatly relieved the farmers,
who have not been called to work on the
roads at time when other duties de-
manded their attention. New York has
a law which directs that the voters of any
town may elect to adopt this plan of
hiring force of men and competent
commissioner to make and keep in repair
the roads of their town, but the plan once
adopted must be followed for not less than
three years. 1t has been found that by
the method described the roads have been
kept in better condition than ever before,
and that the cost of the work has actually
been less than that of rOadmaking by the
old WaV

A Warninn

The cry is now tor mixed farming in the
South. Less cotton and more grass and
corn is given rs the panacea for all the
ills of the Southern farmer. There is much
truth in this, but I am forced to believe
an equal amount Of error also. 1t is very
true that the provision crops should re-
ceive more attention in the South. The
Southern planter should board at home
and not at st, Louis, Cincinnati or Balti-
more. In ten years he has paid the North
for provision crops enough to make the
South rich. The farmer cannot be pros
porous when he buys the great part of
wheat he eats and what he wears, it mat
Jers not whether he lives North or South;
he must pay a profit to too many others.
The South should raise the greater part of
its own provisions. 1t can do this and not
raise less cotton either. If it did this it
would be more prosperous, for time at
least.
| wish to warn the Southern farmer that
Northern agriculture is not so profitable
and faultIess that he should accept and
practice it just as it is. Where the land
has been titled as long and was no more
fertile when virgin the farms of the North
are as badly impoverished as those of the
South. Corn, and grass, and wheat may
be made to soon exhaust the available
plant food of the North. Even our fertile
prairie land of the newer States are show
ing signs of waning fertility. When the
Southern farmer adopts the agriculture of
the North with a view Of increasing the
wealth of his land and of himself he must
adopt the very best methods and practices
OF our most advanced Northern farmers.
Otherwise, he will meet with sore disap-
pOintment.
To make his land more fertile and him.
self more prosperous, the Southern farmer
is urged to engage more largely in stock
raising. 1t is true, that grain raising
solely must impoverish the land unless
commercial fertilizers are largely used,
and that feeding the grain and slower to
animals upon the farm, may retain its
fertility. But | wish to warn the South
ern farmer that it only may do so. OF
itself it will not. The farmer has an i'm
portant work to do. Stock must not only
be reared and fed. but their manure must
be carefully saved and iudlciOusly applied
and judiciOusly applied to the land. For
years the dairy farms have been noted
features of Orange county, New York.
But it is said they show signs of serious
financial disability on the part of their
owners and of great loss of fertility them
selves, of which fact the piles of unused
manure lying in the barnyards furnish an
explanation and reason Tor. Let me warn
Southern farmers if they, too, neglect to
save and apply the manure made by the
animals. they will find, to their cost, that
stock-raising of itself will not give fer
tility to the land of the South or prOsperi-
ty to It's farmers.-JOhn ". Stdht, in No

In relation to the secretion of milk un-

when iodlde OF potassium Was admins
tered to goats the yield of milk was re-
duced, While the percentage of fat and
sugar was raised; salts and albuminoids
were unaltered; the reaction became al
kaline. Small doses of acetate of lead
produced no change of composition in the
milk, nor altered the YIELD. the same neg
atiVe results were obtained with NOR
phine. PilOcarpine at first only reduced
the sugar. Salicyate of sodium cOnside-
rably raised the yield. Alcohol did not
alter the yield, but the solids increased,
while the specific gravity increased,
When beer was given the specific gravity
fell, but the fat rose in quantity, as aid
also the sugar.
