is it not clear, from the tenor of the
Scriptures, that their use would have
been forbidden? The answer of eyery
thinking man must be in the affirma-

and the sacred volume would have
bristled with commands to abstain en-

No man who is Christian at heart

membering that no man begins to
drink with the intention of becoming
drunkard, but that the occasional
glass is taken until the habit is so fixed
that it can not be broken, and drags
its victim down to poverty, death and
hell, he can not take the first step into
danger himself, nor permit his exam
pie to lead others into temptation.

wine by miracle, nor whether He drank

to countenance the use of rum, for the

TEMPERANCE READING.
The OLD CLOCK.

Tick, took, . goes the old clock.
Its ancient case is black with age,
Yet its tongue takes, with steady gauge,
The measure of the moments doom,
And through the lonely keeping-room
Tick, tock,' sounds the old clock.
The moments slowly interlock
In signs. She vainly tries to sew,
Stunning the fact she soon must know;
A whisper seems to pierce the gloom
AS once: Mother, why don't he comer'
Tick, tock,n answers the clock.
Slowly swings the old clock
A deeper grief than that of death
Drips in her tears, and chills her breath
With voiceless fear; he, staggering, nears
With bloated face and ribald jeers.
Tick, took" goes the old clock
Tick, tock," swings the old clock.
Hark! was that an echoing sigh,
Or the winds rising lullaby?
How sweet to slip out on Life's tide,
And into Heavens harbor ridel
Solemnly swings the old clock.

ABOUT HEN MANURE.
The Best Homemade Fertilizer for Va
riety of Purposes.

Ihe Best Home Made Fertilizer for Va
riety of Purposes.
The trouble with great many in
using hen manure is that they spread
it on too thickly and overdo the mat
ter entirely. The best way l find is
to throw mold or road dust on the
floor of the poultry house and thus get
a compost which is in good shape for
use, and at the same time prevent
the escape of nitrogen in the shape of
carbonate of ammonia, which is moth
ing more than common hartshorn.
Hen manure is very rich in nitrogen,
the most volatile and at the same time
most costly of the elements of
plant food, and to save it we
must not only use something
to prevent the escape of the
exceedingly volatile carbonate or am
monia, but it must be kept where it
will not leach, to prevent the rain from
washing out the less volatile chloride,
sulphate or nitrate of ammonia. Hen
| manure as fertilizer is the cheapest
one made on the farm, as there is alb
solutely no expense attached. A flock
of hens will not only pay for all their
feed and care, but they usually produce
enough to pay for themselves besides,
in the course of year, and the manure
is clear profit. I have seen it esti-
mated that one hundred hens would
produce ton of manure in a year, and
as this would be considerably less than
an ounce a day each, l think it a mod
est estimate and I believe if this were
properly used it will increase the crops
on a farm enough SO that the increase
will keep them in grain the year
through.
That each ton of hen manure con-
tains 81 pounds of nitrogen is sufficient
proof that it is the best HON e-made
fertilizer we have for the hill and drift
clay counties of Ohio. While the soils
of these counties contain generally a
sufficient amount of phosphoric acid
and potash, they are usually deficient
in nitrogen. 1t is estimated that a
crop of wheat removes from the soil so
or 20 pounds of nitrogen per acre,
while an acre receives from the air
only II pounds per year. The differ
ence in the two amounts must be drawn
from the reserve supply in the soil or
furnished in the fertilizers applied to
the land. We have every reason to
believe that the first element to
be exhausted from the soil,
comparatively speaking, is nitro
gen, and if this is the case then
hen manure, which is rich in this ele-
ment while it contains comparative
ly small amount of phosphoric acid and
potash, is even more valuable than the
phosphates made up largely of South
Carolina rock. But of this another
time Practically l have found hen
manure to be of less value ON potatoes
than barnyard manure and l do not
use it for this crop any more For
wheat, clover, the grasses, corn and
vines. such as melon, pumpkin, etc., it
is excellent. and for nearly all kinds
of flowers it is the best thing / ever
used. / tried it one year on peas and
beans, but it did not do as much good
as adjacent rows fortified with hog
manure, but for all other garden crops,
including strawberries and rhubarb, it
has paid me better than forty dollars
phosphate, without counting the cost.
