Difference in Manure.

A load of manure does not give a
true indication of its value. Not only
do loads vary in bulk, says the Ame-
rican Cultivator, but there is great
difference in the plant food contained
in each. The character OF mans
farming is largely determined by the
kind OF manure he uses. If he feeds
stock mainly on straw the manure will
be so poor as not to be worth drawing
to the fields, except when men and
teams have nothing else to do. Good
stock properly fed will pay for feed
ing enough grain, oil cake. or mill feed
to make the manure valuable for all
crops.

On Saturday evening Francis Mcdonald
twenty-three years old, returned to his
home, at l35 Crosby street, New York,
and found his wife had gone but and left
their sick baby alone. Mcdonald went
out in search of his wife. Some hours
later he returned and found her in bed
asleep, under the influence of drink. He
reproached her for leaving the sick child
alone. She replied saucily and he struck
her. She screamed and ran down stairs
to her mothers apartments, telling her
brother OF the blow her husband had
struck.
The brother, John Kiernan, who has
done time for the State, rushed up stairs
and pounded his brother-in law soundly
and then was about striking Mcdonald
with chair, when the latter drew a
pocket-knife with which he slashed al
Herman, and then fled. The young wife
remained down stairs until morning
when she went up to her rooms and found
her brother dead on the floor. McDonald'l
knife had severed the bronchial artery In
the left arm, and Herman had bled tc
death. Mcdonald to-day gave him
self up.

TnE MINUTE MEN. BY Margaret Sidney.
This stirring poem, which originally appeared
IN W iic Awake. and attracted wide attention.
has been put into a beautiful small quarto vol
anne, uniquely bound, illustrated by twelve
original drawings by Sandman, and two eX-
quisltc heliotypes in tint, one showing quiet
river nook near the bridge, the other view of
the river winding through the pleasant Con-
cord meadows,-an ideal pastoral landscape
The poem was written for the anniversary
celebrated at Concord in September, 1885, and
was a tribute to the brave men who fired the
shot heard round the world" on that memoir
able April day, more than century ago. The
poet depicts the quiet loneliness of the little
h3lnlet on that morning when the tramp of the
British soldiery broke in upon its peace, and
describes in brief but telling lines the gather
in@ of the minute men, their defiance, and the
brief contest, which sealed i'll blood the fate of
continent, and laid the foundations of the flu
ture greatness and glory of our country. The
lronti>piecc is a heliotype view of French'S
well-known statue .The Minute Man. Both
text and illustrations are printed on heavy gilt
edged paper. and leaves and cover are held to-
gether by a silkcn cord. Price, $l.50 ID.
