Hauling Ont Manure in Winter.

There are two methods of dealing
with barn-yard manure. One farmer
let's it accumulate all winter piled in
daily increasing heaps against the side
of the barn, to rot the stills and poison
the air of the stables, while the drip
pings of the caves are teaching out the
best part of its value. The droppings
of the cattle are allowed to lie in
the barn yard until at every thaw it be-
comes miry bog-hole. When spring
comes, with all its urgent work, gener
al cleaning up takes place, and an at
tack is made upon the accumulations of
the barn yard. AS the successive strata
are removed, there is special resurrec-
ton of departed milking stools, half
forgotten tools, etc, which were buried
during winter the manure, or what is
left of it after The teachings of rains
and melting spows, is hauled out with
difficulty across the wet and spongy soil
of the fields, poachiDg it mp, and pack.
ing it down to It's great detriment. This
method is untidy, and wasteful Of man
ure and labor.
The other way is to haul out the man
ure every day, or at frequent intervals
through the cold weather, scattering it
thoroughly where it is wanted. Then
there is plenty of time to do it, without
interfering with other work; the stables
and yards are kept clean, and the full
manurial strength is saved. All the
washings which the manure receives in
the field carry its strength into the soil
where it is wanted While snow remains
the manure can be removed on sleds
with much less labor and rapidly than
on wagons. Nov IS the time for our
readers to attend to this matter Prai-

How the English Drink.

AS for drinking, writes Harold Fred
eric from England to the Utica o ser
yer, fancy that among well men
there is not much difference between
the two countries. There is vastly more
drinking at meals here than in Ameri-
ca, but not, | think, so much bar drink
ing, and there is nothing to offset the
immense consumption of lager beer
among us in the hot season. For in
stance. don't believe any ordinary bar
IN all England supplies as many people
IN one Gay as will swarm into John
Hirt's place the first day the mercury
climbs up to 80 next summer But the
poor people drink here in shocking
way. One sees the proof of this daily
III the great number of blear-eyed rag
ged, hideous old beggar women to be
met everywhere, chiefly drunk, and OBJ
viously drunkards. There are public
houses at every corner, in almost every
street. 1t is said that the great brew
ers own four-ffths of them, and let
them to publicans at exorbitant prices
a system not unknown in the United
States, believe. There is so vast a
share OF the crime, misery, and squalor
of the slums of London to belaid at the
doors o. these pubs" that it is fair to
say one thing in their favor or in favor
of the law controlling them. At the
tap of the bell of midnight every one of
them is closed not in Pickwickisn
back-door sense, but actually, and like
wise until service is over on Sunday.
When it is thought worth the while to
make a law in England it is enforced
to the verge of harshness. and when it
is time for bars to close they close with
bang.

The Club Man and His Wife.

He is club man with a nice little
wife. Like many other married men
also possessing nice little wives, he has
grown careless in his attentions. He
runs down to the club nearly every
night. She stays at home every night.
But then her place is at home. A box
of candy makes amends for any eight,
thinks he. Now, she don't cry when he
just goes out "for an hour" She simply
calls "good-by" from the head of the
stairs, then goes into her room, puts on
her prettiest dress, dabs little powder
on her nose, and waits for the door-bell
to call her down. Then she skips into the
parlor and spends delightful evening
with another club man-one of those
dear fellows who hate to see woman
neglected. It's all perfectly proper SO
far. But some day there will be row.
Then, poor little wife, you will be the
sufferer. There is one law for the
man and another for the woman San

Caprices of Horses.

All horses have their fancies, and
know perfectly well whom they have to
deal with. / am just now much exer
cised with Wbitefoot, sorrel mare,
which bought when young, and has
lately come out of the hands of pro-
fessional breaker with two or three
tiresome whims. l do not think that
he understood her. When an unbroken
FLY she WAS most obedient to me. One
day I found her in the drawing-room.
To reach it she had walked into the
house by the front entrance, and, after
traversing corridor some forty feet
long, had passed through three door
ways. There she was, consumed with
curiosity, examining furniture, smelling
knick knacks, and looking out of the
window. | expected a scene, since she
was as good as wild, having never been
made acquainted with saddle, bride
or shoe. Yet she behaved like young
lady, not only daintily walking about
among chairs and tables without dam
age but exhibiting solitary self-con-
seriousness, especially when she came to
look at herself in a mirror. This she
did with much interest, getting first one
side of her face and then the other into
the most appreciate position. 1t seemed
to me that she smiled When she had
gazed her fill I said: Now come out,
my dear" Then she put her warm vel
vety nose into the hollow of my uplifted
hand and followed me, as / walked
backward like a courtier, into the pad
dock. And yet the professional breaker
had found her hard to manage. She
was evidently too refined for him, and
resented his coarse manners.-C ornhill

(Which MEANS" said Kate, dropping
her official manner, that we have had
all this good time, and don't owe cent
for anything, and have six dollars and
seventeen cents apiece coming back to
u.s." and she counted out four little piles
of money.
"And coal in the bin, and food in the
larder,' added Beth.
The next month we paid five dollars
week each, and had surplus, and
after that, four dollars a week usually
covered all expenses.
When We started, though we asked
no advice, we had floods of it, and no
end of dismal predictions. you'll
quarrel" You'll run in debt" You'll
find the work too hard" You'll get
tired of it" and, most dreadful of all,
You'll be talked about"
WELL" said Kate, when this was
brought up, IF good name in the past,
and orderly living in the future, won't
save us, why let them talk. They must
talk about something, and while we are
under discussion somebody else will es
cape" So that was disposed of. And
we did not run into debt, and we did not
quarrel. 1t would be too much to say
that we never differed, but our differ
ences were never bitter.
We used to think sometimes that
Beth shirked her share of the work, but
she was the sweetest-tempered creature
living, and always willing to make
amends. Then we had to hold tight
rein on Kate, who was apt to want luxu-
ries out of season, at exorbitant prices !;
and was sometimes trial about the
cooking, being absent-minded, and apt
TO burn things up. As to Mamie, she
was never anything but comfort We
| didn't keep her long, for one day, to-
ward our first Thanksgiving, there was
al unusual hutter in the house. We
| trimmed the rooms with flowers, and
| tied white satin ribbon on The Climax ::
the minister and few friends came in,
and almost before we knew it, Mamie
and the young architect had gone off to-
ing in a basket on the front seat.
But this did not break up the society,
for another good friend stood ready to
fill the vacancy, and stepped promptly
in. And did we not find the work too
hard? Well, sometimes it seemed a
bother, but, divided among four, it was
not oppressive; and if the larder got
empty, or other work pressed, we took
our dinners out for day or two.
And we did not get tired of it, but
after three years trial of the plan, are
more and more satisfied, for it is home.
We leave it in the morning with regret,
and return to it gladly at night, feeling
that it is ours, that we are not there on
sufferance, but by right. And this sense
of security and permanercy encourages
US TO add comforts, aud even Injuries
to our surroundings, and I think You
might hunt up and down the city and
not find more contented and comfort
able set of people than the members of

THE OCEAN BURIAL.
BY CAPT. W. H. SAUNDERS, Z. S.

Q bury me not in the deep deep seal"
These words came low and mournfully,
From the pa.lid lips of youth who lay
On his cabin couch. at the close of day.

The death shade had slowly passed; and now
When the land and his fond-loyed home were
nigh,
They had gather'd round TO see him die

Where the billowy shroud Will roll over me,
Where no light viii break through the dark cold
wave,
And no sunbeam rest upon my gravel
II matters not have oft been told
Where the body shal lie when the heart is cold;
Yet grant We, o grant ye. this one boon TO me,
bury me not in the 4eep. deep sea
For in fancy I've listen'd to the well known
words,
The free Wild winds. and the songs of the birds;
have thought of home, Of cot and bower,
And of scenes that loved in Childhood hour;
have even hoped TO be laid when diet;
Ii tie cnurchyar there, on the green hillside;
By the bones of my fathers my grave should be;

Oh twill be sweet. ere the hearts throp DER,
To know, when its fountains shall guNh no more,
That those 1t SO fondly hath yearnd Tor will

And the brow she hath pressed shall the cold

me,
Oh, bury not IN the deep, deep sea.
"she hath been In my dreams" his voice failed
there;
They gave no heed to his dying prayer:
They lowered him DER the vessels side;
Above him has closed the dark cold tide,
Where TO dip their light wings the fowls rest,
Where the blue waves dance Ger the oceans
crest
Where the pillows bound, and the winds sport
free:
They have buried him there in the deep, deep

Ensilage In England.

English farmers are enthusiastic on
the subject of ensilage. At recent
competitive exhibition of the products
of silos at Snithfield there were no less
than $50 entries. One particular point
in favor of the silo is that it takes away
much of the terror of a wet hay-time. A
Scotch farmer gives glowing account
of its benefits in this respect. This
year his grass was cut and carted dur
ing heavy rain, part of it lay under
water, and the men were obliged to re-
move their shoes and stockings while
working, the water literally pouring
from the cart as it went along An old
building, which had stood useless for
years, had been converted into silo,
ana into it the grass was put. The
farmer is now using it as eng;lagge; it is
of a bright green color, and the cattle
eat it with relish.

The Silver Lining.


There are times In our lives
When soTrows viii fall
And blot out the sunshine
Like gloomy pail
There are hours when the heart,
So full OF its woe,
VIII catch not giimmer
OF the iatrest glow.
There are days when the objects
That gave us delight
Look dun and nnseemly
To our weary sight.
And we long for some haven
OF quiet and rest,
Where by the worlds dreary trouble
We'd never be oppressed.
There are moments when trials
We are given to beer,
Press so heavily ON us
Their burden OF care,
That shadows and darkness
Enyelop the SOUL
And the wild waves OF anguish
Tumultuously roll.
There are visions OF gladness
Around us the while.
But they have not the power
The gloom 10 beguile.
For our ewes are not open
To see the clear light
There is nothing but sadness
And pitiful blight.
But no matter how threat'ning
Or somher may be
The clouds that surround us,
AT last we may see
The bright silver lining.
In its glory unfold,
And light with its splendor
The darkness 80 cold.
For back of the shadows,
Tho heavy they seem,
Gods light is still shining
With a steady CLEAN.
And the s,arbeam of hope

Keeping Farm Accounts.

An Ohio correspondent wishes US to
impress upon readers of the Prairie
Farmer the great advantages of keeping
books of account. He asks how many
can look back over the year and tell
whether they have made more money
off the field of wheat than the field of
corn; whether they get more profit
from their hogs than from their cattle
He advises beginning at a certain part
of the farm and numbering the fields.
To each one charge the amount of
manure hauled upon it, the labor spent
on the crop, etc, and credit it with
everything it produces. By this means
the owner can know pretty accurately
whether No. l or No. 2 pays better in
wheat than in corn, or whether No. 3 is
most profitable in meadows, etc. He
would charge the hogs at regular mar
ket prices, with everything they eat,
crediting the account with what they
produce in pork or incE ease. Extend
this system to all the stock OF the farm.
Our correspondent closes by saying:
"Many will doubtless say 'Oh, made
500 this year on my wheat, 80 what is
the use of going to all that trouble
But do you know for a certainty that
you made that much? Any one would
say that q merchant or grocery keeper
was foolish if he did not keep an &C
count of his receipts and expenses
Now if it is necessary for them, is it not
necessary for farmers ?"

the very uneuphonious name OF
Radivoievic, has lately accomplished
the feat Of walking from Buda-Pe sth to
Paris in twenty eight days. 1t looks a
frightful distance on the map and some
one has reckoned up the leagues, and
says she must have walked an average
of thirty-three day. There was much

DR.. Samuel K. Cox, D. D., Practical
Analytical Chemist, Washington, D. O.,
who made thorough aud careful analyses,
reports that there is neither morphia,
opium, emetics nor poisons in the Red
Star Cough Cure; that it must prove
boon to those whose systems shrink
from the use OF such compounds, and
especially to mothers, who Justly dread
the evil, and, at times, fatsl effects Of
these dangerous drugs. He further
states it is not only free from all opiates,

but it is all together an original and most
happy combination of the best remedial
agents, and is as harmless as it is ef-
