SAVE THE MANURE.
A Good Plan for Saving Farm FertIIizIng
Material.

Ny plan for saving all the manure,
FOR making the very best quality Of
plant food and for getting the full BEN
eft Of the developing capacity OF the
manure is this: Our cows stand over a
water-tight basement cellar. Doors are
on the southeast side; a space ten feet
in width next to these IS covered By a
shed connecting with the barn and low
enough 10 allow windows over the shed
roof TO light the COW stable; the tie-up
for the cows is over the middle Of the
cellar The back section ten feet wide
is used as a store-room for field soil, and
is filed by dumping from driveway in
front of the cows.
Our source Of supply Of absorbents
is the surface soil OF our cultivated
fields. We often gather it after crop
OF potatoes, fodder corn, oats or barley
or in the spring before planting corn.
We gather the dry soil in the ridges
with a scraper, having sides six feet
long. six inches wide, two inches thick.
five feet apart in front. fifteen inches in
the rear. and we shovel from the ridges
into carts. In the cellar, by putting
bank OF soil on each side of a space five
feet wide and directly under the liquid
droppings from the COWS, mixture
trough is formed; three inches in depth
of the soil are spread on the bottom,
and about twice a week the solid ma
nure is spread, and then soil enough is
thrown over it to hold all that falls be-
fore the time to spread it again. When
the manure gets to be two or three feet
deep in the trough it is thrown into the
section next to the doors and is ready
for use.
As the manure in the trough lies in
thin layers Of soil and solid manure, by
beginning at one end, standing on the
bottom of the cellar and working at the
face of the pile, it becomes so we'll
mixed that each forkful as it is thrown
into the cart will contain very nearly
its right proportion Of solid and liquid
ingredients and thus make frst-class
plant food. | think there is no way in
which we can get so much from the
liquid as by having it fall upon the best
soil we can get ana then the best way
to use this saturated soil Is to mix it
with its RICH proportion Of solid manure.

RASPBERRY BLIGHT.

How the Disease Makes Its First Appear
anee- Method Of Treatment.
The raspberry is usually hardy in the
Northern States. though occasionally
affected ~ diseases commonly caused
by long-continued unfavorable climatic
conditions As general answer 10 in
quiries that have been made on the sub
ject, it may be said that if the disease
first appears on the canes near the base,
producing small purple spots variously
scattered around it and growing more
minute as they approach the tips and
causing the framework of the leaves to
show whitish blister-like spots, it is
caused by fungus that attacks the
raspberry and blackberry. as shown in
the illustration.
The disease rarely spreads injuriously
during dry weather, but most rapidly
during damp seasons and at times when
moisture collects in drops on the canes.
