Top Dressing Meadows.

There is no better time to top dress
meadows than in the autumn The solu-
BILE portions OF the manure will be quick
~ washed down into the soil by the fall
rains. BY this means the humus of the
manure is left at the surface, Just where
nature designed it to be. The sooner this
is done the better. Yet to get the best re-
suits the manure should have been CONVEX
ted into compost or as nearly so as posi-
bic. This is not so costly a process as
many persons imagine and in all districts
where manure must be applied to keep up
the fertility of the soil, composing should
be followed since thus the full integrity
of the manure is secured.
To accomplish this, prepare bed
for the manure upon soil that will not
leach, by scraping out place dshing to
the middle. in which to place the manure.
Into this throw all matter that will decom-
pose--manure, strong loan. old sods wash
water and all vege'a able refuse. Do not
leave it rounding on the top. but fiat, so it
NAV soak in the rain; keep this moist by
pumping the liquid from the bottom over
the top occasionally. when the mass gets
rather dry. In the course of a season this
will be converted into good compost, if
turned two or three times.

Best Time to Sell.

The National Live Stock Journal pre-
sents the following good suggestions on
the best time at which to sell the products
of the private dairy or creamery. The
rule given is wise and safe one and is
well supported in sound reason and COM
mon sense:
The best time to sell butter and cheese.
and indeed all farm produce. is the ear
lest date at which ii can be got in condi-
ton for market. Whoever holds butter
or other perlshable goods, holds them at a
risk. Butter depreciates from the moment
1t is made until it is consumed. and is al
always liable to fluctuations in price,
which are so often against the holder as
in his favor. and he is always losing the
interest on its value as long as he holds it,
Holding for higher price is one form of
speculation-a business farmers have no
occasion to indulge in. 1t is true rise in
property may sometimes be foreseen, max
it pretty safe to hold for a time, but when
a daryman would not think ii wise or safe
TO buy butter or cheese to hold for better
price, he had better not hold his own.
The fact that it turns out that he might
sometimes have done better by holding
than by selling, when his goods are first
ready tor market, is not IA sufficient reason
for his holding at another time, for the
chances will as often be against him as
for him. and whichever way it is, he must
always endure the losses from injury,
shrukage, depreciation, waste and use OF
capital. Therefore. as rule, we say it
is most prudent to sell ALWAYS when pro-
ducts are ready for market, and most es
peciallv so with butter, which is alwal 5
suffering from depreciation in quality.

HARRIET BEECHER STOWE.
HER Pen AT Rest AND HEALTH FAILING.

News of Mrs. Stoves retirement
from the fascinating pursuits of litera-
ture by reason of the infirmities of old
age, was quickly followed by alarming
accounts of her physical condition.
Happily these were exaggerated, and
the cool old lady, who can still enjoy
the society of her friends and attend
church on Sunday, is not as near her
end as recent reports stated. But she
q is past work, and the story of her tri-
umphs as literary woman can be com
pletely written.
Harriet Beecher Stowe was born at
Litchfeld, Conn, in 1912, where she
lived the first twelve years of her life,
possessed Of all the advantages which
daughter of DR.. Lyman Beecher could
not fail to command. She went to
Hartford, where Ler sister Catherine
had opened school, in the year 1924
In 1882 she removed to Cincinnati,
where she taught in private school, of
which she was one of the proprietors;
and in January, 1896. was married to
Professor Calvin f. Stowe, her partner
for more than fifty years, and whom she
buried but recently at Hartford.
Mrs Stoves first literary appearances
were in periodicals. 1.-The May fower,"
her first book, was published after her
union with Mr.. Stowe. "Uncle Toms
Cabin" her masterpiece, was not writ
ten until after the passage of the Fugi-
tive Slave Law. 1t appeared first as a
serial, and was received with extraor-
binary interest. Hundreds of thou
sands of copies were sold after its re-
publication in hbook form, in thirteen
languages. Mrs. Stowe went to An
dover, Mass, to reside in 1855, whence
she left on her European trip, COM
memorated in "Sunny Memories of
Foreign Lands" "Dred," tale of
American slavery, was success; and
its writer continued until within year
past to enrich American literature with
stories and miscellaneous writings
Since 1864 she has resided at Hart
ford, Conn, where she owns beautiful
residence, and is near her son, who is
pastor of church in that city.

Hardly week passes without the men
ton by the newspapers Of sudden deaths,
and OF late the alarming frequency Of the
statement that death was caused by rheu-
matism or neuralgia Of the heart cannot
fail to have been noticed. In all proba-
bility many deaths attributed to heart dis
ease are caused by these terrible diseases,
which are far more dangerous than is gen
orally considered. Is there any positive
cure? The best answer TO such question
is given by those who hare been cured by
the use Of Athlophoros.

Where cheese Is more common article

DANIEL S. LAMONT,
NENES5ZEIN" /"
PRESIDENT CLEvELAND's SECRETARY,

President Cleveland is fortunate in
having Private Secretary of exceptional
ability, prudence and sagacity. Two
men more unlike than they are in physical
characteristics, could scarcely be found.
Cleveland is large and portly; Lamont
only five and half feet high and spare.
The little man seems to have made him
self indispensable to his superior, who
confides in him, it is believed, without
reserve. In this respect President Cleve-
land follows the advice of the astute
Lord Beaconsfleld, who advised that a
statesman should hide nothing from his
Private Secretary. Lamont's quiet influ-
ence Is a force In the councils of the
Federal administration, but it's one i'm
possible to trace. Nobody could be more
persistently non-committal than Daniel
s. Lamont, and President Cleveland is
equally not given to the betrayal of
secrets.
The Presidents Private Secretary is
the grandson of a worthy couple who
came to this country from Scotland. and
some OF his peculiarities, particularly his
caution and reticence, are decidedly
those Of natives Of the "land Of ban
nOcks.'
He was born in Cortland county, New
York. February 8, 1851, the only child
Of q country merchant. Lamont received
m academic education. After gradua.
tion he assisted his father in the store.
but disliked the employment and soon
was busily ut work as q politician,
although still under age.
His first Office was as Deputy Clerk
in New York. Next he was Clerk in
the New York Assembly-in 1870, 1871
and 1875. In 1876-77 he acted as Chief
Clerk in the New York State Depart
ment, under John Bigelow. Mr.. Tilden
recognized his abilities at the time
he was Governor of New York, and en-
gagged them during tho period of his
candidature for the Presidency. That
eminent statesman entrusted him with
confidential commissions of great impor-
tance. From 1876 to 1883, Mr.. Lamont
was Secretary of tho Democratic State
Committee of New York. On January /.
1881, he was appointed Private and Mill
tary Secretary Of Governor Cleveland.
with the title of Colonel and salary OF
four thousand dollarsa IL year. His salary
us Private Secretary Of President Cleve-
land is $3,25O year.
Mr.. Lamont is an inderaticable
worker, frequently not reaching his
home from official business until late at
night. Heis Il married man and the
father nftwn children.
