HOW TO APPLY STABLE MANURE.

A correspondent of the Farm and
Fireside says: | have made the
question of fertilizers and how to
apply them serious study for years.
The favorite dressing with me is
well-rOtted stable manure and un-
leached ashes. OF course we all
know the value of stable manure,
but how to apply it is the question.
One of the first discoveries | made
was that horse-stable manure was a
good non-conductor of heat. With
this fact as basis, | was able to
make many useful experiments. |
have variety of soils on my farm
sand, red clay, sandy loan, blue
clay and black muck. By giving
the sand, which was tendency to
dry out, a good mulching OF coarse
manure, | could keep it moist. If
you will thrust a thermometer into
the ground where it is bare on a
hot summer day, and then thrust it
into the soil under a heavy mulch
ing,you will find the mulched ground
from 10 to 90 cooler. BY blowing
under Il heavy dressing OF coarse
manure on heavy clay soil, and thus
putting a layer of non-conducting
material between the cold earth be-
meath and the layer Of soil above, |
cold make it as warm and dry as |
pleased. Then, if you mulch heavy,
wet soil, you will make it heavier
and wetter still. Plow it under and
YOU will render the soil warmer and
drier.
Now by studying the wants of
your plants, and applying these
principles, you can obtain the best
results. If you wish to raise melons
squashes on heavy ground, put the
manure under the hill. If you wish
to raise potatoes or strawberries on
light, dry soil, much it. The reason
why different results have been OBJ
tanned from top dressing and plow-
ing under is on account of soil and
climate. 1t would be nonsense tC

CLOVER.

The Country Gentleman says
Glover seems simply to be the great
scavenger of agriculture, gross
feeder, capable of collecting the nj
trogen and the mineral elements of
the soil held in insoluble or slowly
soluble forms, or in solution to d.
lutte for the wheat roots to thrive
upon it, and by the decay of its
lerge roots storing these elements
IN large quantities and available
forms near the surface, where the
young wheat roots can at once and
continuously feed upon them. DR..
Holland in one OF his novels makes
an Irish character say: ''The peg
(pig) is the usefulest animal intere-
ly. He ates what there can nothing
else ate; thin you can ate the peg"
This seems Gin rough sense) to be
the office and the great service of
clover to eat what the wheat cannot
eat in its present form and then die
and let the wheat eat it, Just as
plants prepare food for animals, by
gathering and condensing it from
the soil not creating it.
The roots of clover probably help
destroy numic acid and drive out
sour plants and worthless grasses.
Japan clover, or lespedeza, certain
ly has this effect or sorrels and sedge
grass.
No lands respond more promptly
or cordially to fertilizers than the
soil of pine lands. A few shovels
full of manure, or rotten pine straw,
III any spot in the field, shows it's
effects wonderfully on the nearest
hill of corn, or peas or potatoes. By
making pine lands as rich as the
Mississippi bottom lands (and such
a thing is possible,) these lands
would be worth four times as much
as the bottom lands, since no levees
are needed in these hills, no mosqui-
to bars, no malaria, except in creek
bottoms, little or no lung complaints

HOUSEHOLD NOTES.

Remove stains from cups and sau-
GERS by securing with fine coal ash
es.
A polished floor can be kept look
ing nice by wiping it over with a
cloth satuated with milk.
Bent whalebone can be restored
and used again by simply soaking
in water a few hours and then dry
ing them.
AS dentrifce, salt and water is
very cleansing and also hardens the
gums. 1t will also prevent the hair
from falling out.
A good substitute for buttermiik
in cooking is thin batter made of
flour and tepid water, allowed to re-
main long enough to sour.
Not only should mattress ..be
turned and aired at least three times
a week, but pillows and holsters
ought to be beaten, shaken and ex-
posed to the fresh air.
Mix starch with soapy water and
you will find it pleasure to do up
your starched goods. 1t prevents
the iron from sticking and makes
glossy surface.
When potter's ware is boiled for
the purpose of hardening it, hand
full or two of bran should be thrown
into the water, and the glazing will
never be injured by acid or salt.
When molasses is used in cooking
it is a great Improvement to boil
and skim it before using. The raw,
rather unpleasant taste of the poor
qualities of molasses is much i'm
proved by this process.
Ink stains are entirely removed
by the immediate application of dry
salt before the ink has dried. When
the salt becomes discolored by abb
sorbing the ink, brush it off and
apply more; wet slightly. Continue
this till the ink is all removed.

FEWER MEN THAN WOMEN.

Fewer men than women attend
church. Why is this ?
While there are fewer men than
women in church, there are more
men than women in prison. Shorter
sighted and more dull of perception,
a man fails to discern the degrade
ton and folly of evil doing, and so is
more easily led into crime. The
preparation of felony and the neg
lect of religion are but different man
ifestations of the same trait of char
acter, failure to appreciate the dig
nifty of spiritual elevation, and ina
bility to see anything worth seeing
except the coarse qualifications OF
the present moment. The creed of
worldliness and crime is that the
present is to be preferred to the fu-
ture, the immediate to the more re-
mote, the material to the spiritual,
personal interests to the welfare of
humanity; while the underlying
principle in religious strivingis that
the true way to live IS to live for
humanity, not self alone-tor the
moral and spiritual, not sensual and
material. 1t is the man that in
clines to the former view, the wo-
man who is more easily won to the
latterS
Is it not, then, because men are
stronger-minded that they are less
attentive to religious things it is
because they are actually weak of
vision, unable to perceive that the
spiritual is nobler than the sensual,
that the cultivation of moral inter-
ests is wiser than absorption in ma
terial things. The lofty contempt
with which worldly men regard re-
ligious earnestness is of the same
nature as that with which the ignor-
ant man regards his neighbor who
spends his time over books, or the
theft, regards the one who is too
tenderly conscientious to steal. 1t is
not because Of greater sagacity, but
because of inferior discernment that
fever men than women attend
church.

Audiences of South America.

"How do South American audiences differ
from our own9" asked the reporter.
"South American audiences are very sensi-
tive to the good and bad points of a perform
ance. While they will almost go crazy with
enthusiasm over great artist, they are not
ashamed, as | have just said, to show their
dlsapproval by vigorous Kisses. A peculiar
feature Of the Brazil audiences is that the
ladies have fashion Of promenading in the
lobbies during the entr'actes, as men do here,
chatting with each other, and criticising the
good or bad points of performance Bra
zil is an empire and Montevideo is a republic.
but, singular enough, you see more soldiers
on duty at the theatre of the republic
than at those of the empire | sup
pose the reason of this is that Santos.
the late president of Montevideo, was
shot through the head in the theatre, and
this has made the Montevideans guard the
theatres very carefully. Every night before
the opening of the door body of 100 soldiers
files up, and after the performance begins
they are distributed throughout the house.
Fifteen bombeiros, or members of the fire
brigade, also appear, and these are placed
principally on the stage to guard against
danger from fire. All the scenery, YOU see,
is painted on paper. 1t is done in Italy and
is very beautiful It can be shipped more
easily than canvas scenery-you can carry
dozen palaces in your trunk and still have
room oracollar button--and can be easily
replaced If damaged or destroyed. 1t is
pasted on canvas after it gets to the theatre.
It's, of course, very infianmable, and the
precaution of having SO many firemen con-
stantly in attendance is by no means an un-
necessary one.-Ne7y York Times Interview,

The Curious Manistee Fish,

The manistee is a fish of the size Of the
sturgeon, found only in the Manistee river, in
Florida. 1t is sightless, but acute of hearing,
so that it can discern the approach of an
enemy at distance of mile or more and
seek safety in the reeds or shoals along the
banks. 1t is speaTed by the negroes, by whom
it is highly priced as food, and occasionally
is to be found in the markets of New Orleans
and Mobile, but is seldom found in this local
ity. The flesh is coarse and much resembles
beef, though retaining the fshy flavor
Scientists have never been able TO discover
the origin of the fish, but incline to the belief
that it rises from soma subterranean stream
or lake and has increased and multiplied in
the Manistee river, but, owing to its lack of
sight, it has not been able to make its way
into other bodies of water, where it might
be propagated. Chicago Journal.

| These three dialects of spoken English have
been greatly multiplied since the English
stock has been scattered over the world, and
in spite of printing and rules of pronuncia-
ton this multiplication must go on. The
laws of languages, SO far as they have been
observed, seem to make it impossible that the
same language should be spoken in our terri
tory of Alaska and in the English provinces of
Australia. From Alaska to the tropics, from
the tropics to the South Pole, written Eng
lish is the same language but the real Ian
guage is the spoken sound, not the written
symbol. Subjected to different influences of
locality and climate, the language adapts it
self to them The same written English
word will convey the idea to the brain Of
the Englishman in Calcutta that it does to
the American in Sitka, but if our colony in
Sitka becomes permanent American settle
ment, and Calcutta remains under English
control long enough to develop an English
stock native to India through a dozen gener-
ations, the written symbol will stand for
widely different sounds. This is probable
ity so strong that it may almost be stated
without qualification
