Fertility and TllIaee.

The stock of poultry manure, though
probably small, has great value as fer
tilizer for all sorts of vegetables, and
its frequent removal greatly helps to
keep the fowls in health. 1t ferments
rapidly in warm weather, and should
be clearly taken up at least once
week, but better twice, and put in the
garden around melon or cucumber
hills where it will do the.most good by
being hoed lightly into the soil. If
one wants to know how much pota-
toes are benefited by cultivation, let
him choose two or three rows and hoe
them, OF rake the soil every morning
while the breakfast is preparing, and,
note the result. If he wishes to try'
another experiment let him rake up
the droppings Of the poultry.house
every morning and put them into the
soil about a few hills of potatoes, and
he will discover what frequent fertili-
zing will do. Moreover, If he will put
all the labor and fertilizers upon one
square rod, or one acre. which he is
used to expend upon four times as
much space, he will learn how great
yields are produced, and find his views
upon the subject considerably enlarged.

dinner leaving the saw, which ran by
water power, going at full speed.
While we were away a big black bear
came into the mill and went nosing
around. The saw caught his fur and
