this way it is not necessary to step on the
fodder at all.

Mr.. Morton was loudly called for, bnt ex-
cused himself and Mr.. Blaine and party re-
tired.
After the speech Mr.. Blaine returned to
the hotel where an informal reception was
had in his apartments. Among those present
were Messrs. Elkins, Manley, Charles Emory
Smith, Congressman Mckinley and Gail
Hamilton and other members Of Mr.. Blaine's
family.
The arrangements for Mr.. Blaine's depar-
ture were given out to the reporters as fol-
lows: He will leave for the East on the regu-
lar 8 a. m. train Of the New York and New
Haven railroad Monday morning at the
Grand Central depot. The intention of start
ing to-day was changed out OF respect to the

The French ooarA Horse.

The popularity Of the French coach
horse Is rapidly increasing to meet the de-
mand for fine coach horses In this country.
A prominent exporter Of large carriage
and coach horses said recently on the sub
jet; MY opinion and experience of
twenty-five years In the handling and
shipping of all kinds Of horses is that
there is one kind of horse that Is profit
able for the farmers TO raise besides the
draught, and that Ia q fine, large carriage
horse, with breeding, style, size, quality
and action. This kind of q horse has
been almost wholly neglected, and there
never was such a scarcity as today Of
suitable geldings for the eastern markets
and for export. Just think of it'll 1t
takes us six months to get a shipment
suitable for European markets, and u
last shipment averaged in cost over $500
each. So you see the prices that gentle
men pay in this country for nice, high
stepping pairs. There are two profitable
breeds for the farmer-the draught and
coach horses-and l believe the French
coaeher comes nearer the wants than any
breed vet introduced to America"

A MODEL MANURE PILE.

Fig. / in the cut represents, says,
Country Gentleman, q n pile where
these objections are avoided. When the,
manure is wheeled out, the foundation Isl.
laid or the base formed In the shape of b
regular parallelogram, by driving stakes
at the corners; and if the pile is q large
or long one, inserting stakes occasionally
OF the sides. A wide plank. as shown at
Fig. 2, allows the wheelbarrow to dig
charge its load, and one or more pieces of
plank laid on the top facilitates the work.
In this way, the manure Is wheeled out
and placed where it is wanted, with less
labor than for an irregular heap. It is
not necessary to make this heap very
high, if suitable length or breadth is
given to it.
Such u pile may be made more or less
into a compost heap, by spreading even
alternating layers of any absorbent, such
as turf, loan, peat, &c. The thinner
these layers are the more perfectly the
ingredients will be intermiXed when the
heap rots down. Manure which is well
worked together and pulverized after de-
composition is more valuable than ma
nure in unmiXed chunks or Jumps, and is
more evenly spread on land.
A very important requisite in saving
and in manufacturing manure is to pre-
serve the right degree of moisture in the
heap. If a large quantity Of straw litter
has been used, it will need some liquid
addition, either by leaving it exposed to
rains or by turning the liquid manur
upon it. These requirements, which will
vary greatly with circumstances, will de-
eide whether to place the manure heaps
under spacious sheds or otherwise. This
care will be particularly needed in the
smaller heaps for garden use. In Fig. 1
hopper like holes are represented, which
have been cut with o sharp spade after
the heap was completed, into which wa
ter or other liquids may be poured to inn
part the right degree of moisture, to be-
ascertaiued by inspection.
This systematic management will easily
admit the small addition Of other fertil-
i2ers in thin layers, such as ground bone,
plaster, lime, ashes and guano, to give
additional strength. The manure thus
manufactured will be of great value for
many purposes. although a large proper
ton will be most conveniently and eco
nomically applied by spreading at once on
the fields as it accumulates from the sta
bleS.

The Wool Taste in Mutton.

G. M. Clay, of Kentucky, writing on the
very common belief that when sheep are
killed for mutton with the leeces on them
the mutton is rendered unpalatable on
account of the wool taste, says it is all
nonsense about the wool affecting the
taste of the meat. He explains that "the
bad taste is caused by the excretions of
the bowels going into the circulation when
the sheep are killed that gives the wool
flavor. The intestines must be taken out
as quickly as possible; then you may
wrap it in wool and lay it on the ice for
days, and if there is any wool taste I will
cut the sheep, skin, wool and all" Indi-
ana Farmer, commenting on the above,
says that if mutton is treated as Mr.. Clay
advises there need be nc concern as to the
wool taste,

Foot Rot I'm Sheen.

As soon as lameness is perceived the
animal should be examined. AL loose
and diseased horn must be cut away with
a sharp knife, and any excessive growth
of horn at the toes removed, so that what
ever pus or matter is fond beneath the
horn may be able to escape, Many rene
dies are recommended with which 20 wash
the diseased parts. One method. is to
wash the feet clean after the diseased
parts have been cut away with carbolic
soap and warm water twice per week, and
after each washing apply the following
mixture: Oxide Of copper, four ounces;
arsenic, one-half ounce; ascetic acid, three
ounces, and honey, eight ounces This
mixture can be applied with little lint
or tow.

Tho Value of Red Clover.

The value of red clover is too well
known to need much said about it. It
car grow easily in any Of the southern
states, and land should be planted with
clover to rest and ~fertilize it, and by TINS
rotating between clover for two or three
years and cultivated crops two years, the
condition of the land would be gradually
improved, larger crops secured, and the
clover would pay better while it occupied
the land than almost any crop that could
be grown, to say nothing of the great saw
ing Of expense in buying fertilizers, neces-
sary under the present system of con-
tinlally using the ground with the same
crops.

Manure nnd Comnost pIles.

The Importance of saving manure and
preventing it's waste is generally under
stood, but the work is not generally per
formed I'M a systematic and economical
manner. If manure is not drawn out and
spread on the fields as fast as it accumu-
lates, it is frequently thrown out or
wheeled out and discharged in irregular
heaps, where if it chances to become too
dry by heating, or is washed into too
liquid 4 condition by rains, the defect can
not be very easily corrected. If the liquid
which has been saved is to be applied or
poured on it is often donetoo irregularly.

TWO PLANS FOR KEEPING GRAPES.
How to Preserve Late Varieties at Small

There are a number of methods in use
for keeping the late varieties of grapes so
as to lengthen the season for this fruit.
These methods all depend for their sue
cess on the same conditions. In the first
place, it is desirable that the fruit shall
retain its bloom, hence great care in
handling it is necessary to prevent the
branches coming in contact with each
other. 1t is also necessary that tmper-

At $40 Chairman Austin r. Ford called

Mr.. Blaine he sent Cappa's band to the hotel

"Home, Sweet Home" was then rendered,
and in a few moments a storm of applause
arose as the hero Of the occasion made his
appearance. Mr.. Blaine came from the hotel
leaning on the arm Of Hon. Levi p. Morton
and followed by ex-senator Platt, Gen.
Alger, Walker and Emmons Blaine and a
committee Of escort. They were aided

When Mr.. Blaine appeared on the stand,
Mr.. Ford again called the meeting to order
and called on Mr.. David Healy to read an
address on behalf Of the workingmen Of New
York to Mr.. Blaine. The address was a
strong endorsement OF protectionism. Mr..
Blaine was then introduced and after the ap-
plar~e had subsidized, said:
