Few farmers appreciate or really understand the value of barn yard manure We hauled about fifteen cubic yards and spread broadcast on one acre of very thin old land. We then planted corn on this and also on some additional ground on which no manure had been put. On account of the dry weather very poor stand was obtained. however. it was much better on the manured than on the other land. The corn on the former Is sixteen inches high. while the oth- CT can scarcely be seen, Again we hauled and spread broadcast at the rate of about ten cubic yards to the acre on some uncultivated land on which is some timothy, some foxtail and some crab grass. This was in the latter half of May. Since the rain the difference in the growth on this from that on which no manure was put, may be observed now as far as one can sec.
 It would pay any farmer who has any upland or thin or worn bottom land to buy steers in Fall, and fatten them. though he should not make cent on the cattle The manure from fifty head of cattle fed three months. will manure thirty acres of land SO as to double the product next year. The manure will more than pay for all the labor in feeding the cattle. When land is thus manured it is not merely for one year, as IS the case with most commercial fertil- izers. but the land is made better for years. In addition to this it Is not spread on every year; once Tn three years will be sufficient to keep up the land. If one has not the stock. then we say buy all you can and fat ten it. Barnyard manure cannot be secured in any other way for the very obvious reason that it will not pay to haul it from distance.- Around almost every barn in this State may be seen large heaps of the very best fertilizing agent, and in many the stock arc compelled to stand in manure up to their ankles all Winter. Haul out every shovel ful you can find and spread it on the land.

TAKEN FOR A GIRL.
Unusual Complications which Took
Willie Eaton Away.

Little Willie Eaton, who will be three
years old in September, and who ought to stay
at home with his father William Eaton, at
No. u Quincy street, disappeared yesterday
at II o'clock while his mother had gone out
to buy some meat for. dinner. The police
were notified yesterday afternoon and were
put on the lookout for him. Mrs. Eaton hunted
all the afternoon for the child and was near
ly distracted last night. Mr.. Eaton, who is
a plummer. was at work in Falmouth and
did not get home to join the search until last
night.
Both parents thought the little fellow had
surely gone to the wharves and fallen over
board, and they were in state of great
grief. But little Willie's fate was less trag-
ic, If quite unique. Yesterday was quite a
day for lost boys, three being brought to the
station, and among them Willie Eaton. Some
people from No. ia Fore street were in the
station in the afternoon and saw Willie. He
wore dress, and with his long hair looked
like girl. The people from Fore street,
thinking that they knew where the little
girl belonged, claimed Willie and took him
home, where they braided his hair in two
little queues, and proceeded to make pet of
him. Meanwhile his distracted mother
was informed at the station that no boy had
been found, and the policemen were sent
searching everywhere. About nine o'clock
last night the people on Fore street discov-
cred their protege was boy and not girl.
They FASTENED to the station with him at
once. Here he was found by his parents,
who had already given him up for lost Last
night Willie slept in his own crib, with his
hair still done up in ribbons. and altogether
un mindful of the inconvenience Of being
taken for a girl.

our Wealthy Men.

Much has been said in newspapers of men
who have made large fortunes in compare
lively few years in various business indus
tries. Many of these articles are written by
correspondents Of prominent newspapers,
and copied into others of lesser note. Cor
respondents generally are seldom men of
business qualifications and wroDgfully pic
ture these men and their business as a thing
of accident; this is not the case with those
we have met. We find that where men have
made large fortunes by their own business
talent and industry they chose with sagacity
and forethought such business as would lead
to success when handled with business judy
ment. No man has been brought before the
