Fig. 1 in the cut represents, says Country Gentleman, manure pile where these objections arc avoided. When the manure is wheeled out, the foundation is laid or the base formed in the shape of regular parallelogram, by driving stakes at the corners; and if the pile is large or long one, inserting stakes occasionally at the sides, A wide plank, as shown at Fig. ?, allows the wheelbarrow to dis charge it's lead, and one or more pieces of plank lad 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 n pile may be made more or less into compost heap, by spreading even alternating layers of any absorbent, such as turf, loam, peat, &c. The thinner these layers are the more perfectly tho ingredients will be intermiXed when tho heap rots down. Manure which is well worked together and pulverized after de- composition is moro valuable than ma nure in unmixed chunks or Jumps, and is moro 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 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 manure 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 haye been cut with a sharp spade after tho heap was completed, into which wa ter or other liquids may bo poured to inn part the right degree of moisture, to be ascertained by inspection.
 This systematic management will easily admit the small addition of other fertil- izers in thin layers, such as ground bono. plaster. lime, ashes and guano. to give additional strength. The manure thus manufactured will be of great value for many purposes. although a large propor- tion will be most conveniently and eco nomically applied by spreading at once Ao the fields aS 1t accumulates from the sta blcS.

Profit of Mars in statuarv.

Some years ago 1 visited the studio of a famous Berlin sculptor. He was model ing small group representing ieuten- ant who has just returned from a recon noitering expedition, bringing some i'm portant intelligence to his superior officer A casemate torn by bomb and dozen stacked guns formed the background. It was intended to be cast in bronze as a mantle ornament or possibly a clock Round about the studio were similar sub- jects, some in plaster and others in clay The cannon, the rifle, the bugle, the sword-in fact, all the instruments of war were seen wherever you turned
 Do you, artistically speaking, regard the gun as beautiful object?" I asked the sculptor.
 No, regard it, artistically speaking as hideous object, he answered.
 But it represents to you something which you think is beautiful?" Ipersisted
 ''Yes, he said with chuckle, it rep resents to me, in the present case, 1,560 marks easily earned. What can be more beautiful. unless it were 15, GOO marks?"
 But, joking aside, would you regard me as impertinent if I ask you why you keep on modelling guns, when you think them hideousT"

TWO PLANS FOR KEEPING GRAPES.
How to Preserve Late Varieties at Small Ix1ae1uIIt,Ir.. of I.nhnr nnL AInnc,.

How to Preserve Late Varieties at Small
 Expenditure of Labor and Money.
 There are 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 oal the sane conditions. In the first place, it is desirable that the fruit shall retain it's bloom. hence great care in handling It Is necessary to prevent the branches coming in contact with each other. It is also necessary that imper- feet or bruised berries be clipped from each bunch.
 Following arc two simple but effective systems that may be utilized to advan- tage whether tho amount of fruit to be saved be large or small. Both plans ad- init of the free circulation of an even temperature around each bunch and pre- vent the same from rubbing against each other.
 The first method is to take new shoe or soap boxes, or any other box of about the same size, and nail cleats on the inside of the ends or sides about one inch from the top, and between them bars at various distances, as required by the varying length of the bearing shoot cuttings. The bars are made by mailing small strip on top of each. As late as possible cut off the bearing shoots containing the punches, with pruning shears, and shorten them so that they will go between the end of the box and the top part of the bar, resting on the bottom part, thus hanging their punches in their natural position By this method the boxes can be handled without shaking the shoots off the bars. carried to the light, each bunch examined as winter advances, decaying berries or punches removed. and the best kept without any moldy taste, as is so | common when they are packed solid.
 The second plan is equally simple. All that is required are two or more iron or wooden hoops, two lengths of wire to every two hoops to hold them in position and some string and the contrivance is complete. When hung up it is the easiest thing in the world to trim out decayed or useless berries; in fact, the stock of grapes can be kept in good condition without even shifting the contrivance at all.

Advice to Campers Out"

A writer in "Prophylactic. Practical Health Magazine, gives some seasonable and sound advice to those attempting camp life during their vacations. That concerning the importance of pure water is applicable not merely to those who are to dwell in tents in wilderness, but to those who will sojourn at the usual sum- mer resort and watering place. It is too often the case that the purity of the water supply at such places is taken for granted, with the most serious results.
 Unboiled water is hardly ever safe to drink now from either well. spring or stream. unless in a locality in the noun tains or fur from inhabited places It should be an invariable rule never to use for drinking purposes unknown. untested water which has its source in or flows through an inhabited country until it has been thoroughly boiled Then it is abso- lutely safe. Thorough boiling for few minutes removes all danger. A general observance of this precaution would pre- vent the frequent outbreaks of typhoid fever at summer resorts--Chicago News.

THE SEVENTEEN YEAR LOCUST.
Habits of a Remarkable Insect Which Lives Seventeen Years in the Soil.

Habits of Remarkable Insect Which
 Lives Seventeen Years in the Soil.
 Professor Riley has called attention to the fact that during the present year two broods of the periodical cicada or so called seventeen year locust will make their ap- pearance in different parts of the country. He asks in a circular sent out from the department of agriculture at Washington for information in regard to the appear ance of these locusts whenever seen. Readers who send this information to Professor Riley will doubtless do ser vice to science and indirectly to them selves.
 In it's winged state the seventeen year old locust is of black color, with trans parent wings and wing covers, the thick anterior edge and larger veins of which are orange red, and near the tips of the latter there is dusky zigzag line in the form of the letter w, supposed by the superstitious to indicate war. The eyes are red, the rings of the body are edged with dull orange, and the legs are of the same color. The wings expand from two and one-half to three and one-quarter inches.
 In its many years of underground life this insect does moro or less damage by
 
 manifest injury is when in the perfect state the female deposits her eggs in the twigs of fruit and other trees, where punctured limbs as rule, langufsh and die soon after the eggs are matched The eggs are of white color, about one-twelfth of an inch long and taper at each end Tho insects matched out are grub like in form and are covered with little hairs They soon find their way to the soil, into which they descend to where the roots are most abundant. The only change to which they are subjected during the long period of their subterranean confne- ment is an increase of size and the more complete development of the four small scale like prominences on their backs, which represent their future wings. When the time arrives for them to issue from the ground they come out during successive nights in great numbers, come up the trees, fasten themselves to the same with their claws and proceed to cast i off their skins. A long rent appears in I the skin of the back, and through this 1 the cicada pushes itself, and withdrawing i its legs and wings from their separate cases, crawls away, leaving it's empty pupa skin.
 Within a fortnight after their final transformation the females begin to lay their eggs, and in six weeks the wholC generation becomes extinct. Such are il brief the general habits of this remark able insect, which passes seventeen year: of it's life in the soil and at stated period. appears for a short time to life above ground.

Conclusions About Ensi,age.

Professor Henry, of the Wisconsin ex- pertinent station, who has been inyesti- gating the silo system, sums up his con- clusions somewhat Gs follows: 1. Even though ensilage made from Indian corn has no more feeding value than the same amount of material dried into good fod- der, the difficulties and expense of curing and caring for the dried folders are such that ordinarily the silo is preferable. 2. The usual waste from feeding dry fodder is very considerable, while for ensilage it need be none at all. 3. Feed can be more compactly secured in the silo than in any other way. 4. Husking, ,acribbing and grinding corn are useless operations for the most part, and are expensive and in e measure wasteful; nothing is added to the value of the crop by any of these pro- cesses. 5. For the northern corn belt smaller varieties of corn will give nearly or quite as much feeding material as the large varieties, with less labor to handle them. Lastly, the clover crop is very promising candidate for ensilage, and the farmer who tries it for the silo will be well pleased with the'results.

Tho importance of saving manure and preventing it's waste is generally under stood. but the work is not generally per
 formed inl a systematic and economical manner.

The Xalue of Red Clover.

The value of red clover is too well known to need much said about it. It can grow easily in any of the southern states. and land should be planted with clover to rest and fertilize it. and by thns 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- tinually using the ground with the same crops.

To Keep chinch Bugs from 9 Corn rield.

A great many remedies and preventives against chinch bugs have been suggested and published from time to time, the most of them emanating from good au- thorities, but very generally so difficult and i1npracticable in their application as to be of little general use. In their mi grafton from one field to another, at the time they first appear on the side of a field of corn and before they have entered it. cut five or six rows of the corn and clear the ground. then blow strip of land eight or ten feet wide, leaving deep furrow In the center of the strip, with the perpendicular side of the furrow to- ward the field to be protected. Into this the bugs will fall, where straw may be thrown on them and burned. Or the fur row may be covered with some of the stalks that have been cut. while they were green. by laying them across it, when the bugs will crawl under them into the fur row and remain there in the shade long enough for the stalks to dry and be burned.
