TREATMENT OF MANURE.
Thorough saturatIng with water VIII
Keep 1t from Burning.


Keep 1t from Burning.
The ground where it is intended to
pile the manure should be nearly
level (for although it takes deal oil
water to keep horse manure from
burning, it should not be placed in a
hole or depression where water can
collect) make the piles about ninc feet
or more wide and as long as the manure
will 90 or the room permit Build the
pile as nearly straight upon the sides
as you can, and every layer OF one foot
or less must receive thorough sprink-
ling with water and be tramped as In
building a hot-bed. After the pie is
as high as desired and heat rises, the
tramping must be repeated for lew
days until the pile appears Lsolid-
There it is to be left undisturbed till
wanted. II good rain strikes 1t, so
much the better, as the manure will
absorb all that falls on top OF 1t
if the pile is fat. 1t should be ar
ranged conveniently for getting the
water there. Putting barrels on the
wagon ard throwing the water over
the pile with a pail, did not prove
satisfactory 10 me, as the work Will
often be neglected until one or more
days haulings have accumulated; then
the water will not soak through and
the lower part will fire-fang and spoil.
The better way is, if well Is not by
the manure already, to have one dug
for the purpose with a good force
pump in it. A tank or lot OF oil
barrels should be prepared for the
water and stand little higher than
the pile is going to be, and there
should be a rubber hose of sufficient
length with spraying nozzle at
tached to it. Do not think THIS
will entail too much expense or
| labor, for if the manure is worth haul
ing it is certainly worth preserving,
and the more carefully and thoroughly
this is done the better satisfaction Will
| be given. There is difference be-
| tween heating and fire-fanging. lwant
manure to heat to a considerable eX-
tent in order to destroy grass seeds
| contained in it, and to hasten decom-
| position. Horse manure treated as
above is the best covering and mulch
for strawberries that can find. AS to
swine, think they are entirely cut OF
place on a large pile of heating horse
manure; they like to lie on it, but they
generally take cold from it, and it IS
the worst place for them to lie down.
Roofing it over and exposing it to
the air is of no benefit to the
manure. Where small quantities OF
manure are thrown out daily or week
ly, cattle tramping and lying down on
it will preserve it in the best manner.
] compost nearly all the manure use
and do not spread or pile any on land
that / want to plow early in spring,
until the ground is dry enough to
plow; then having the manure at hand
and in good condition. a man can
spread half an acre and plow it the
same day. If the manure is spread in
winter, it may be better for the land,
but it keeps the latter wet or heavy
too long in spring and renders it unfit
for early gardening. At least this Is
the case with my soil unless the manure
has been perfectly rotten.-Cor Ru raj

The Squirrels That Haunted . House
 From the Pittsburg Dispatch.l

A big farm house near Belleville, N. J., had long stood tsnantless and bore the repu- tation of being haunted. At last young farmer and his wife moved in at a merely nominal rental. An unsarthly clattering on the stairs frightened tine couple half out of their wits the first night, and the wife tried to persuade her consort to get up and inves- tigate. For an hour he argued desperately with her on the advisability of lying still. She declared, despairingly, that if he would not investigate she must die or get up her. self. Finally they effected compromise by creeping out of bed together. They lit the lamp and looked cautiously out of the cham ber door. The first glance solved the myss tery. Big gray squirrels literally swarmed upon all the landings, and every one of them had big nut of some kind between his paws. The main supply of nuts was stored in an unused garret, where some forgotten tenant had placed them long ago. The squirrels arranged themselves in gangs on
 each landing, and thoee at the top of the
 house carried the nuts, one by one, out of
 the garret, and sent them rolling down the
 stairs to the next landing, where they were received by the gang waiting for them and pushed down another flight. In this way they reached an old cellar, which was evi. dently the squirrels storeroom, for it was we'll stocked with nuts. They were trans fsrring the supply from attic to basement.

THE MESSAGE.

The Presidents of this country write very long messages. President Harrison is no ex- ception, and there is much in his message that will command attention. After consid- ering foreign affairs, he comes to the subject of the treasury surplus. He does not believe fin having it 80 large as it has been. He rec- ommends an immediate revision of the tariff. He suggests that the duties should be equal- ized, and certain articles which we do not produce might be admitted free; but that the tariff should be amended and revised with steady eye to the principle of protection for American industries and American labor. Concerning silver coinage he says "Any safe legislation upon this subject must secure the equality of the two coins (gold and sil- ver) in their commercial uses." And he ex- pects to communicate further with Congress upon this matter.
 He favors an elaborate system of coast de- lenses. The assault made upon Judge Field, he thinks, suggests questions which are worthy the attention of Congress. He would recom- mend that more definite provision be made by law not only for the protection of federal officers, but for full trial of such cases in the United States courts. He would also more fully protect those who may be called as witnesses in the courts of the United States. He gives the trusts whack which will pleassall those who have been hurt by them. He says they are dangerous conspiricies against the public good and should be made the subject of prohibitory and even penal legislation. He favors the enactment of a national bankrupt law. He would have the old soldiers treated generously. He takes notice of the complaint of the railroad brake. men, and declares that "It is a reproach to our civilization that any class of Ameri- can workmen should, in the pursuit of a necessary and useful vocation. be subjected to peril of life and limb as great as that of soldier in time of war;" He speaks a good word for the worlds fair. He declares himself civil service reformer. He thinks the general government should aid in the education of the people. Concerning the right of the negro to vote as he pleases he says: 'I earnestly invoke the attention of Congress to the consideration of such meas- ures within its well defined constitutional powers as will secure to all our people free exercise of the right of suffrage and every other civil right under the constitution and
 avs of the United States" And he recom- mends that appropriations be made for ocean mail service.
 The message will make good impression. It shows that the President has made a care full study of the condition of the country.

 The consumption of horse flesh in Berlin is increasing. Last month the Berliners ate 8l6 horses, against 6l0 in October. For various reasons, however, the working people in the Prussian capital do not eat 80 much horse as the poorer clases of other German cities. Konigsberg, for instance, with about the same population as Rochester, consumed $40 horses last month.
 Florida will soon be the greatest lemon growing country in the world. Lemons weighing a pound each are common in Florida, and along the banks of the Caloos- ahatchis there is single tree which bears 5000 lemons. many of which weigh pound each. But, except for show, such large lem- ons are of little value, as they are coarse- grained and pulpy. The best lemons are grown on poor soil, and for that reason they are very profitable crop. This country consumes more lemons every year than all other countries combined, and the consump. tion is constantly increasing.

 A good many Republicans when they read the election returns this morning will say to themselves, "If I had done my duty the re. suit would have been different" It was a bad day for Republican voters, and they didn't get out as they ought to.
