Top-Dressing Meadows.
Journal of Agriculture.

journal OF Agriculture.
There is no better time to top-dress meadows
than in the autumn. The soluble portions of
the manure will be quickly washed down into
the soil by the fall rains. BY this means the
humus of the manure ia left at the sdrface Just
where nature designed it to be. The sooner this
is done the better. Yet to get the best results
the manure should have been converted into
compost as nearly possible. This is not
so costly process as many persons imagine,
aud in all districts where manure must be ap-
piled to keep up the fertility of the soil compost
ing should be followed, since thus the full integ-
ritv of the manure is secured.
To accomplish this, prepare bed for the ma
nure upon soil that will not leach, by scraping
out hole dishlng TO the middle. in which to
place the manure. Into this throw all matter
that will decompose-manure. strong loam old
sods, wash water and all vegetable refuse Do
cot leave it rounding the top but fiat, SO it
may soak in the rain; keep this moist by pump
ing the liquid from the bottom over the top occa-
sionally when the mass gets rather dry. In the
course of season this will be converted into
good compost. if turned over two three times.
If you have not compost, spread over the
meadow, up TO fifteen loads per acre. coarse, lit
terry manure. The soluble parts of this will be
washed down into the soil, and In the spring the
light, chaffy portions may be raked into wind
rows with a horserake and carried away to the
compost heap. or upon the land to be plowed
under.

Fall Management Of Sheen.

American Sheep Breeder.
It is at this time of wear that the ordinary
farmer, still engaged in gathering in the last crops
of the year may forget to give his stock. and es-
pecially the sheep, that attention which they re-
Quire to insure their steady growth The neces-
sity of having milk for the use of his household
compels him to see that the cows are given some
attention. But the sheep season. if such it may
be called, is over, and no returns can come from
this class of stock for some months. Pastures
they have none TO keep them thriving, and 1t is
deemed too to feed out the stores in the
barn lofts. granaries root-houses. This
penuriousness, all too common is pro-
ductive of loss and Is q mistaken econ
omy. The question. then, is a pertinent one
How shall the young sheep be kept in a steady
growing condition, the fattening sheep gain
daily, and the breeding ewes in a healthy, Wig
orous state Obviously the only way is to feed
judiciously. If there is any pasture in the fields
as will hardly be the case in many sections, it
can be supplemented with wheat bran. corn or
oil meal. The daily ration for each of the classes
of sheep mentioned will vary from one half
pound and half pound or so Of oil-meal to
one-half pound of wheat bran In the absence
of pasture nice clover and timothy hay. finely
cut and moistened may be given with the above;
oats make an excellent feed with pasture What
ever ration is adopted let it be liberal enough to
produce growth of fat as may be required, and
not stinted SO to merely sustain life

of fresh currents of air from the windows In
moderate or dry weather; at other times thu eel
lar should be kept as dark possible.
One gobler and ten hens is an average flock OF
turkeys. The old hens make better layers and
smothers than the younger ones. and, in select
ing the breeding stock this should not be over
looked. Always procure the goDler from a
distance. In breeding has much to do with the
difficulty usually encountered in raising young
turkeys.
In preparing the poultry houses for winter
the most important matter is to so line them
as TO prevent draughts or currents of air. A
crack as large as a thread will cause the comb
of fowl roosting near it to freeze. which will
be loss in eggs, as hens with frosted combs
will not lay until the injured part is thoroughly
healed.
A mixture of unleached ashes and ground
bone is recommended an application to the
soil in which erapevines grow 1t increases
the yield and improves the quality of the
fruit. Rank ammoniacal manures, such are
usually made on the farm, produce free growth
of vine and waterv fruit. If used at all they
should be applied very sparingly and by the way
of mulch.
IF the cellars need protection, bank them now
before the GROUND freezes, or pile evergreen
boughs against tue stills. These are cleaner than
earth, will rot the woodwork less, and in many
cases will fully answer the purpose. They make
dead air spaces which poor conductors OF
heat The best dwelling-houses in some of the
cities of Maine, are heavily banked with ever
green boughs every winter to protect the cellars
and ground floors from cold, and they present a
very tasteful appearance.
Mr. II. NJ. Taylor. agent of the Bureau of An

Some "Dont's" for an Ideal Home.

journal of Decorative Art
The ideal beautiful home is attained rather by
avoiding errors of taste than by the adoption of
special dogmas of art. For my own part, if /
have any dogmas to preach they may fairly be
condensed in this one rule: Avoid shains and
affectations of all kinds"
Don't mistake mere prettiness for beauty.
Millinery, for instance, is out Of place In the
home beautiful.
Don't attach to your chairs and sofa-cushions
meaningless bows of ribbon which tie nothing.
Don't dress up your toet-tables in muslin
petticoats stiffened with crinoline or colored
calico.
Don't scatter startling white ''tidles" about
chairs and sofas many bushes, as if you
were hanging out the wash to dry.
Don't display your walls. china plates and
dishes. They were never meant to go there.
An exception may be made now and then in
favor of piece of fine color to help light up the
room, whore a delicate china painting is
worthy of careful examination. But hang up
ordinary domestic china Don't!
Don't hang small pictures so that their beauty
is lost to anyone under eight feet high. If a
picture is not seen from the same position that
tho artist saw it when he painted it, the drawing
will appear foreshortened, and the general effect
consequently fslsifed
Don't hang any picture in the home which has
not the impress of elegance, purity and cheerful
ness.
| Don't give place to representations of corpses,
tortured saints anything occasioning painful
ures. and not wanting them downstairs don't
Danish them to the nursery, sch Hoom or bed
room.
Some things would relegate to the bedroom
out of the way some wherein locked drawers
for instance. / mean mementos of sea weed and
dried ferns for flowers and wretched daubs on
china, canvas paper, the crude efforts OF
youthful members of the family. No true lover
of the home beautiful will inflict these on his
family or friends and compel them to violate
truth by pretending to like them
Don't buy your carpet or your wallpaper be-
cause it looks pretty in the roll when you see it in
the store. But think of the fitness of each with
its ultimate surroundings. Remember that the
carpet is to be background for your furniture,
and the wall PAPER unless it is to he the actual
decoration of the walls, is TO be merely back
ground for YOUR pictures.
Don't admit into the home beautiful any piece
of furniture or implement of everyday life
which does not honestly serve its pur2ose-no
light fimsy chairs which abe-bodied man
dare not sit upon; puffy, debilltated sofas. all
