SAVING MANURE.
How Large Profits May lie Realized by Its
Special Preparation.

How Large Profits May lie Realized by Its
Special Preparation.
The average farmer in the West has
not yet come to regard special care in
saving and making manure as one Of
the important economies of the farm
The better class, however. do haul out
their manure green and spread it for
blowing under. This is probably the
disposition that can be made of it, in Or
binary cases, since thus but little is lost
by heating. It is in the heating of the
manure pile by which the valuable pOr-
tons are lost if not absorbed by some
medium, as earth. that will fix and hold
the valuable constituents. This involves
regular piling and occasional turning
over. There is large class of small
farmers near cities and villages, espec-
tally market gardeners and florists. whose
profits lie in just proportion to the value
of the manure used, and this class can
well afford to make use of the most per-
feet means at hand to save all the valu-
able constituents of the manure, much
of which has to be bought and paid for
in cash. The best possible way for this
class is undoubtedly saving and rotting
the manure in pits, with or without the
addition of earth, in which latter case
the whole becomes valuable compost.
The manure pit may simply be a
dished excavation, in clay soil into
which the manure is carted and kept
constantly moist enough with water, so
that it will not heat strongly. The GEN.
ter of the pit may be well-like and may
be curbed to the top of the manure with
barrels. The water may be let onto the
manure from the barn roof by means of
pipe, and not less than two inches of the
bottom of the pit should be constantly
saturated. As the pile Of manure begins
to heat too strongly the manure water is
pumped over it, teaching again down
through into the pit. Thus it is kept
alternately saturated and aerated until
sufficiently decayed to be carted ON the
soil. and this way be hastened by An &C.
casiOnal turning.
If earth is mixed with the manure less
water is necessary. Yet by this plan
the heap should never become dry. 1t
should always be rs moist As good
growing soil, and occasionally saturated
completely with water. Two or three
turnings over will reduce it to the con-
dition Of compost. and if for the use of
florists it may then be mixed with peat.

same advice will apply to the market or

nuring. 1t is these classes who find
large profits in the special preparation

conveys them to the roots of plants.
The carbonates of ammonia coming in
contact with the sulphate of lime forms
carbonate of lime aud sulphate of am

gypsum especially valuable on the ms
nnre pile, where q few light dressings
applied every day and = half will effect
the preservation Of nearly all the am
monia in the pile. Applied to light
soils, especially soils deficient in lime, it
is very valuable, doubling in some cnses

AUTUMN WRAPS.


Hashionsbls Jackets and Jsrseys for Tal
and Early Winter.
Another velvet season is promised,
and. after all, what is richer and more
becoming? New shades and colors
have been introduced in velveteens of .
heavy weave for fall and winter wear,
and this combines handsomely with the
new coarse woven woo's which have
been brought into favor by the Princess
Bea.ri,e. These are invoiced as Scotch
cloths, and come in variety OF diago-
nal ard plain weaves and in effective
color mixtures. The Scotch cheviots
are shown in stripes and borders, and
look verv coarse. but are very high
priced. They combine extremely well
with velvet or velveteen, and also very
handsomely with silk. They are ac-
cepted by leading Parisians and English
ladies.
There is a new rough wool stuff woven
to initiate wooden lace. in one color over
another. and these will be used as bor-
der for trimming.
There are elegant and coquettish
wraps which come with the approach
of autumn. Stylish little jackets made
of fine Diagonal, lined with pretty color
ed silk or satin, can be worn with any
and every toilet. Lovely mantles Of
lace and jet embroidery, triumphs of
taste and skill, are worn in the carriage
The fronts and front side pieces are Of
superb quality of Ottoman silk, and
handsome design Of beaded jet en-
brOidery covers the back. The sleeves
are richly embroidered in intricate pat
terms with jet or velvet appliIues and
form the side pieces of the back, leaving
the arm free in front. where it falls
straight like n cape. The whole is COW
cred with fringes, drops and applique
of beads, adding to the rich effect of the
garment. An English tailor has just
brought out small mantle that is gain
ing favor among the fashionables. It
has short waist and small ends. A
pointed hood is fiat against the back of
the garment. The new mantles and
visites are shorter than ever, the back
being very little longer than the waist.
Some of them have peculiarly cut
sleeves lined with colored silk and fin
ished with Z large jet epaulet. The
trimmings are lace plaitings, and the
long square ends in front are garni-
tured With jet ornaments.
Jerseys still retain their hold on pop
ular favor and are trimmed in many
snowy ways and are very costly.
Among the elegant ones seen at fash
ionable summer resort was q light
cherry-colored silk, with a tichu plas-
tron of garnet velvet, cuffs to match
and passementerie epsulets. One Of the
loveliest jackets is the Eton. This is
made of jet armor cloth bordered with
tiny jet balls. A high, stiff. flaring col
lar finishes the neck. Another pretty
Jacket is made of lace and lined with
the dress silk. The back reaches the
waist line. the fronts are round and the
edges are finished with silk acorns.-

In refusing to grant professed
tramp a writ af mandumas to secure
temporary lodgings and subsistence
at the Cumberland county, Pa, poor
house, Judge Sadler calls attention to
the fact that is often forgotten-name-
ly, that tramp is criminal, habit
ually violating the law and subject to
arrest and punishment, rather than
an object for the public bounty. The
application for mandamus was made
as test case, and the Court points
out the injustice of burdening the
county with the keeping of paupers
who are not of the county's own poor
and in the absence of such emergency
as would justify taking care of them
till they could be removed to their
own counties, their proper custodi-
ans. Apparently the Cumberland
county Judges definition of tramps
does not apply to honest poor men
who are walking around in search of
work, but even these will not be al
lowed to linger in Cumberland coun-
ty for any considerable period oftime,
They will be taken at their words,
and if there is no work for them they
will be encouraged to seek it else
where. If the county assists them
Judge Sadler expects them to reim-
burse the county when able to do so.

couraged if this exact construction of

A Romance in Real Life.

Fhe head of one Of the oldest and
most respected families in Maine died
several years ago, leaving property
in real estate and business invest-
ments valued at s492, 900 to his
daughter, aged II years. She was
the last and youngest Of family Of
seven children, and her father was
"the last man ofhis race" as he used
70 say. He died while she was at
sces-..a.i.S se-..ii 'scnooI IN Boston. 4.zr guar
dian. Louis Roche, was a Frenchman
OF somewhat doubtful character,
though her father had the utmost
confidence in him. Roche, in fact,
had managed the old mans business
Tor him for several years before his
death. The will gave $4,000 to the
Frenchman and the rest of the prop
erty 70 the daughter. Roche induc-
ed the young woman to marry him
before she was eighteen years old,
and went to Europe. They settled
IN Lyons, near his ancestral home.
soon after their arrival a daughter
was born to them. Six other chill
dren were afterWard born, four sons
and two daughters. Four years ago
the last of the children died, and
Roche, firing of his wife, induced
her to convey all her property to him,
and then cut her throat and threw
her into the Seine. She was rescued
by a peasant and her wounds were
daessed, but the woman lost her
memory, had even forgotten her
name. The peasant fell in love with
her and they were married. Last
summer she had cholera and came
near dying. With returning health
she regained her memory. The
peasant interested wealthy people in
her case, and an action was begun in
the courts against Roche. She is
now in this country in search ofsey-
eral witnesses to aid her in recover
ing her property. Her husbands
brutal treatment will cost him his
liberty for several years. A decree
of divorce will be granted her on her
return to France, and she will then
legalize her marriage with the peas
ant, who is said to be an estimable
and intelligent man. Several peo-
pie from New England will accom-
pany Mrs. Roche on her return to
France.

The MARYLAND WHEAT CROP
The Morning Herald, of Baltimore,
recently obtained reliable and accu-
rate reports from II of the great
wheat growing counties of this State
and thus sums up the result: "The
exceedingly severe winter, which has
been a succession Of alternating freez.
ing and melting weather. has killed
the roots of the wheat, and the alb.
sence of any considerable fall Of
snow has left it without protection
and completed the great and unusual
damage inflicted upon it. 1t does
not appear possible, at this time. that
the Maryland wheat supply this year
will reach so percent of an average
crop. The farmers are generally dis
couraged at the outlook, and in some
places along The Eastern Shore the
question of abandoning wheat culture
for cattle raising is being seriously
agitated."
