Manuring in the Hill Or Broadcast.

Who're manure is scarce it may some-
times be profitable to apply directly in
the hill or drill before planting or SOW
ing the seed, but taken as q whole | do
not consider this advisable # it can be
helped. [ fully tried the plan once,
and although the plants treated in this
way did very well, taking all things
into consideration, yet they fell far be-
hind those planted at the same time on
soil that had been well MANFRED by APP
plying broadcast and then thoroughly
working into.
The main reason is this: The roots of
all plants extend considerable distance
in every direction from the plants. OF
course some may go deeper in the soil
than others, while those that do not
reach so far down into the soil are gen
orally those that send out the greater
part of their roots near the surface on
the sides of the main roots.
In manuring in the hill we usually
gauge the amount of manure to be APP
piled by the size of the plant and the
drill. That is, we would reasonably
expect to use less in drill row laid out
to be sown to radishes, than in another
in which we proposed planting pota-
toes.
In either case the probabilities are
that after the plant had made any con-
siderable growth we were to make a
careful examination we should find that
the larger proportion of the fine, small
roots, that are, in fact, the ones that
furnish the greater proportion of the
nourishment to the plant, extend out
quite a distance beyond the drill or
manure.
While these feeding roots are spread
ing out or growing through that part
of the soil where the manure has been
applied, much benefit is derived, but
once beyond it this benefit surely de-
creases. and that, too, at time when
in the majority of cases the extra stimu-
liant in shape of good plant food is
really more necessary to make the crop
profitable than in the early stages of its
growth.
10 not mean by this that l am not q
believer in doing all | can to give grow
ing plants good, strong start; but that
after they have made a start this must
DC kept up anu Id my experience l be-
lieve this cannot be accomplished as
well by manuring in the hill as by a
liberal quantity scattered broadcast.
And yet with my experience am hard
ly prepared to say that with only linn
tied quantity of manure it may not be
better to apply by drill than to thinly
scatter broadcast. Still with only a
reasonable quantity, which in the ma
jority of cases would not be considered
a good application, | would prefer
the latter plan, working into the soil in
as fine a condition as possible. With
unleached wood ashes, poultry manure
or night soil, which are our strongest
natural fertilizers, / would under all
circumstances work broadcast into the
soil in preference to applying in the
hill.-Cor. Prairie Farmer.

Beer Destroys Business.

Let us take an average community in
which there are say 200 men working
for wages. This means that there are
altogether in the community 5000 per-
sons-the other 1000 being made up of
women, children and those incapaci-
tated for daily labor.
1t is plain to any one who will think
a minute that all the money the com
munity can have is what these 1000
men can earn as the re ward of their
labor. All the clothing, food, house
room, books, etc, that the 1000
women, etc, can have is what can be
bought with the proceeds of the day.
work of the men.
Consequently all the business that
can be done by the dry-goods stores,
groceries, boot and shoe shops, etc,
which supply the various wants of these
people, is limited to the amount of
money which the men can earn in the
course of the year
Therefore, anything that diminishes
or wastes this total sum of wages is a
direct blow at the whole community.
1t is a reduction of every ones means
of support.
If a saloon is started in the commu-
nifty, and takes in $4,000 in the course
of a year-a very small estimate of
what 1000 men would spend in one
year-the amount of food, clothing,
etc, bought is diminished that amount
at least, without taking into account
the diminished capacity OF the wage
carriers to earn wages, caused by their
consumption OF the $4,000 worth of
liquors. The whole community is many
thousand dollars poorer because. the
saloon-keeper prefers to ''lead an easy
life, > rather than support himself by
honorable labor
Just in proportion to the amount Of
liquor sold anywhere so is all other
business injured or even DESTROYED.
The worst enemy to the saloons should
be the man who deals in any of the
necessaries of life, for nothing can be so
hurtful to legitimate trade as the de-
struction of the peoples capacity to
buy by their Indulgence in strong drink.
Considered purely as a business vent
ure the most profitable thing that the
merchants of any city could do would
be TO provide every saloon-keeper in
the city with good salary, and send
him abroad to enjoy himself for the rest
of his life. If all saloon-keeping could
be stopped in this way, it would pay
the merchants to support the saloon
keepers in luxurious idleness, in the
choicest spots in the world. - Toledo

discussed in the country debating socie-

What Fowls Need.

garmentsP Even SO suffers Mistress
Biddy without her daily dust-bath, and

her to the nearest and most convenient
place for such a renovation of the skin
and feathers. If no other soft. sandy
and loamy earth is at hand you may be
sure she will use your flower bed with
out regard to consequences. She may
learn to hide at your approach, taught
by blind instinct that YOU are her
enemy, but the idea that you begrudge
her the dearest delight of her hapless
days-the use of the free soil for her
bodily needs-iS one that poor Biddy's
small brain can never comprehend.
Descend to her level, then, yourself;
consider her wants and supply them
without delay. So shall the ire
