Green Manuring.

A correspondent OF the New
York Tribune says: When green
crops are grown for the purpose of
rertilizing the soil, as 81 rule they
should be plowed under when in
their most luxnriant and perfect
growth. 1t is then that their de
composition has the most beneficial
effect upon the soil, and this is one
important object in view in grow
ing such crops. A crop Of COW
peas, for instance, or one nf clover
or buckwheat, turned under when
in full blossom aud containing the
largest quantity of sap, quickly de
composes asd contributes to the
soil not ouly a large mass of mat
fer which has mechanical effect
upon it, but also u certain amount
of nitrogen and other useful manu-
rial matter which is contained in
the heritage; in addition, there is
chemical action upon the soil by
the acids produces which dissolve
a portion of the mineral matter.
If the crop is permitted to fall
down and remain upon the surface,
only one Of these effects is produc,
ed, namely, the mere addition Of
the matter to the soil, and some Of
this may be lost by evaporating
and otherwise.

HerOisni at Home.

How useless our lives seem to us
sometimes! How we long for an
opportunity to pelform some great
action! We become tired of a rout-
ine OF home life, and imagine we
should be far happier in other
scenes. We think of LIES great
battlefield, and we wish, TO bG he
roes. We think Of tie good we
might do if our lot '6ad been cast
in different scenes. We forget
that Tie world hestows no such no.
BILE titles as father, mother, sister
GA brother. In the sacred pre-
cincts Of home we have many
chances for heroiSm. The daily
acts of self denial for the good of
a loved one, the gentle words of
soothing for another'S trouble, and
care fer the sick. may all seem as
nothing; yet who can tell the good
they accomplish? Our slightest
word may have an influence over
another for good or evil. We are
daily sowing theseed which will
blirg forth some sort of harvest.
Well will it be for lis if the harvest
be one we shall be proud to gather.
If some one in that dear home cir
Gle can look back in after years,

name, say:"Her words and exam
