BARN. Yard Manure.

Prof. Wyatt, In his present work,
"Modern High Farming" attempts to
impress upon farmers the necessity of al
lowing their farm- yard manurcs to under
go a thorough process of fermentation,
to so completely rot or carbonize before
making use Of them in the field. In or
der to make his meaning still more clear,
he says:
"Let it be remembered that first. if
freshly made be put into the soil,
the saline and heterogeneous portions will
all be washed away by the first fall of
rain and lost.
Second, If the manure be allowed to
thoroughly ferment, the heterogeneous mat
tiers will remain insoluble in the soil, and
will thus be held at the disposal of the
plants ready for assimilation.
A few experimenters have strivcn
within the past few years to persuade
themselves and the world that the total
abandonment of farm-yard manure and
the sole employment of chemical fertili-
GERS would result in immense economy
and increased production; but in nearly
every case within our knowledge where
the reduction Of these theories has pre-
vailed over common sense, the result has
been. to say the least, discou:aging.
Artificial manurcs,of every kind are
necessary, we have always admitted and
shall always PROFOUND; but that they can
ever proftably and usefully replace
those made on the farm, is a proposition
too ridiculous to merit discussi on"

SET BY THE DEVIL


Don't you envy the prosperous sinner for he
is a trap
SET BY THE DEVIL
to catch you. 1t is a southern saying that
fattening hog don't know what he is eating
corn for, ii he did he wouldn't eat it. The
devil is just running that fellow along on
credit. Many of those men who have pros
pered in the employ of the devil, have finally
fallen from their high estate and persisted
miserably. 1 want no preferred slavery in
mine. Slaves in the South had to carry q
pass when they travelled from home, and the
devil does the same thing for his slave. He
makes every one of his slaves carry pass
with him. The devil fixes up all man
ner of badges and puts them
badge is rags. He has spent
all his money for the pleasures offered him
by the devil and he is given rags in turn.
There are all sorts of badges; sometimes dis
ease, sometimes it is in his face, sometimes 1t
is one thing and sometimes another, but the
world is never in doubt what a man is. In
the days of slavery q man could be taken up
and sold away from his family. Husbands
away from wives fathers away from children
and mothers away from their loved daugh-
tiers, but here in the nineteeth century,
in this era OF progress, we go
on and put men into more
CALLING bondage than even that which sepa-
rated husbands and wives and parents and
children. How much oftener are these sepa-
rations caused by this hellish liquor traffic,
than any other cause, and yet we permit it to
go on"
Mr. Small was listened to with the deep
est interest from beginning to end. At the
close of his remarks Sam Jones addressed
the congregation briefly, and the effect of
his words was noticed in the uprising of
the people for prayers.

1t is strange that so many people
should know so little about the prepara-

point out few shining examples here

south and good bread, for instance, is
almost unknown. And coffee. who has

crust that melts in the mouth with an
indescribable sweetness, and leaves but
one wish in the heart-more bread. To

good flour and good hop yeast. No
one can afford to use poor flour, for it
absorbs so much water that it will not

grade. The next requisite is home
made yeast. The dry kinds in mar
ket are seldom fresh, and yeast
is so easily made and so easily
kept that it is poor policy to buy it.
The following receipt l know to be
good: Four potatoes, two handfuls of
hops, one tablespoonful of ginger, two
of salt, half cup sugar and one half cup
of good fresh yeast. Boil the potatoes
and hops together, and scald half Il cup
of flour with the water; as soon as
sufficiently cold, add the yeast, sugar,
salt and ginger and ferment twenty
four hours, and then bottle. 1t will
keep six weeks in the hottest weather.
Half cupful will make from fonr to
six loaves. The bread should be set
over night, and thoroughly kneaded in
the morning, the longer the better, but
from half to three-quarters of an hour.

HIS PRECIOUS TRUNK.
Experience of a Detroit Taxpayer Who Is
Prosecuted by Ill Luck.

Experience of a Detroit Taxpayer Who Is
Prosecuted by Ill Luck.
There was one man who didn't take
kindly to the late accident on the West
Shore by which dozen or more trunks
were smashed and their contents
ruined When the passengers were
notified to exhibit their checks and make
u statement of damages this man ex-
hbited his piece of brass and declared
that nothing less than three hundred
dollars would make him whole.
''Pretty valuable trunk remarked
the official.
"Yes. sir; was going to Europe for
a year.
The passengers gathered at the wreck
ed car to identify what had been saved,
and rs the parcels were handed down
the number of the checks were called
off. Pretty soon out came thin, lean,
cadaverous old carpet-bag which did
not seem to contain more than shirt
and pair of socks, and as the number
of the check was called the official con-
suited his list and remarked to the
man:
This is your baggage, sir"
eyes, think So.
That's the three-hundred-d dollar
trunk going to Europe with you!"
"Y-e-s, that's the one"
There was a general laugh at his ex-
pense, during which he retreated to the
passenger-car. Some one presently
asked him how he came to make such u
'.mistake," and he replied:
"Why, don't We know, supposed the
car and every thing in it had been
smashed to bits. l never did have luck
nohow in these railroad smash-ups." !"
