To Make Manure Available.

Ordinary farmyard manure is very
natural fertilizer, coming as it does
wholly from vegetation, and to return
it to vegetation is very natural proc
ess. To make it as Immediately avail
able, and the plant food contained in
it as readily soluble as these conditions
are found in concentrated fertilizers,
all waste liquids from both the stable
and the house should be turned upon
the solid manure. ALI tie ups and
horse stalls should be arranged to this
end. Throw layer of earth upon it
from time to time while the manure
accumulates. In spring the heaps
should be well forked over. When in
field incorporate it Thoroughly with the
soil. If it gets into the ground at just
the right time and in a soluble state,
nature will attend to the rest of the
process - Popular Gardening.

A Revengeful Horse.

All horses are not patient and gentle.
AS there are vicious men and bows so
there are vicious horses. One spcb
horse, owned by man living near Ros-
ton, was often called by his master
when in the pasture, and invited to him
by some corn held in sieve or meas
ure. This corn the creature was ner.
mltted to eat while the bride was mt
over his head. But after being baited
and rewarded in this way for some time
his owner called him. holding the meas.
ure in his hand but with no corn in II
He did this several times, thereby de-
ceiving the animal. He practiced this
mean trick, however, once too often.
For one day the horse, having gone ia
him when called, turned quickly around
and kicked his master to death! There
was certain sagacity in this poor
brute's mode of furnishing the deceit
practleed upon him; but its sagacity,
being unregulated by either reason or
conscience, became vice fatal to its
foolish owner.-School and Home.

l have pot dibble used in plunging
pots in summer in the line of flower
ing plants, strawberry runners, etc.
Its chief value is the remedy it pro-
vides against angle worms entering
the pots from the drainage hole below,
point that will be highly appreciated
by all who know how troublesome
these worms usually are in plunged
pots.
In my drawings shows the tool as
made from block of maple wood six
inches square and twenty-five inches
long. l had mine turned by cabinet
maker although with considerable
care, one could be shaved down with a
draw knife. The nearer perfectly
round it is the better it will be suited
to its purpose. The tool is completed
by the addition of a handle as shown
and this might be from an old spade.
Figure b shows the use of the tool in
the case of geranium pot plunged in
soil. The pot in this instance was of a
size that required the dibble to be
thrust into the plunging soil to its en-
tire length. In putting the pot down
it should be pressed in rather firmly.

SHAMELESS CORRUPTION,
When Harrison Bought Wanamaker He
Made u Bad Bargain.


When Hon. John Wanamaker was
promoted from Philadelphia bargain
counter to the elevated and responsible
position of postmaster general of the
United States, the people of the United
States beheld the first open and ac-
knowledged sale of high public Office
BY one OF the great political parties.
Wanamaker was taken into the cab
met not because of his supposed exec
utive ability, nor because he had the
confidence or admiration of even a
faction OF the republican party. He
was known personally to only " linn
tied number of people in Philadelphia,
and by reputation only to those who
read his bargain" advertisements in
the Philadelphia papers. The country
at large had never heard of him The
hrst intimate knowledge that the peo-
pie gained OF him was through the ad.

fee.
He was made postmaster general
simply because he raised s+oo, 900 for
the big corruption fund by which Har-
rison's election to the presidency was
purchased in 1888. To a man of Mr..
Wanamaker's enterprise the office was
cheap at that price. The firm of
Wanamaker & Brown doubtless made
some money, though not so much as
was expected, through the advertise
ments which Hon. John caused to be
circulated by postmasters. In the
light OF subsequent events it is prob
able that if lie could have gotten his

two other important gains are secured,
namely: the pot. is afforded perfect
drainage, and the trouble of 'rooting
through" the drain hole of the pot is
overcome.
Figure represents the use of the
dibble for a smaller-sized pot. Coming
to point as it does, the tool can be
used for pots of the smallest size quite
as readily as for larger ones.
In getting ready for plunging pots by
this means, the soil should first be
worked over to a depth equal to the
length of the dibble, otherwise it will be
difficult to thrust it into the earth. In
pressing it down the weight of the
body may be applied through the foot
placed on top of the dibble. This tool
also comes into play at times in trans.
planting small shrubs, vines, etc.-C.
