The Secret of uappine..

The most common error among men and
women is that Of looking for happiness
somewhere outside Of useful work 1t has
never yet been found in that way, and new
er will be while the world stands and the
sooner this truth is learned the better for
everyone. If you doubt the proposition,
glance around among your friends and ac-
quaintances and select those who appear TO
have the most enjoyment in life Are they
the idlers and pleasure seekers, or the ear
nest workers We know what your an
swer will be-
Of all the miserable human beings it has
been our fortune, or misfortune, to know
they were the most wretched who had re
tired from useful employments in order to
enjoy themselves. Why, the slave at his
enforced labor, or the hungry toiler for
bread, was supremely happy in comparison.
Earnestly would we press upon young
minds the truth we have stated 1t lies at
the foundation Of all well-doing and we'll
being 1t gives tranquility and pleasure
to the youth just stepping across the thresh-
old of rational life, as well as to the man
whose years are beginning to rest upon his
stopping shoulders Be ever engaged in
useful work if you would he happy This
is the great secret

ments and the other direct, by adding to
the manure pile potash, phosphate and nj
trates in the concentrated forms in which
they are furnished in commercial manures.
This is what may often be done with great
advantage Stable manures are generally
apt to he deficient in phosphate, aud the
commercial phosphate contains at best on
" very small proportions Of ammonia,
though this rather than the mineral is what
gives grain its more vigorous growth at the
start In an ammoniated phosphate there
is usually only about two per cent Of am
mona, or in a dressing of 100 pounds per
acre about three pounds. IL is evident,
therefore that a mixture of the phosphate
with stable manure benefits both, by max
ing aud keeping both in available condi-
ton for crops.
A still greater improvement to most ma
nure heaps is the addition with the phos
phate OF a dressing, say Of 20 pounds OF
nitrate of soda, evenly distributed TO each
load of manure. Eight loads Of such ma
nure per acre would give a dressing of 200
pounds of nitrogen in available form, and
do any crop more good than either the phOs
phate or stable manure alone could posi-
bly, do. What is wanted in stable manure
is a tendency to decompose rapidly, and
nothing better promotes this than nitrate
Of soda Phosphate alone is liable quickly
TO revert to insoluble forms, and nitrate Of
soda is the best preventive Of this. The
nitrate Of soda is more expensive per ton
than commercial phosphate, but is much
more effective for immediate results and a
comparatively small amount per acre will
produce a great increase of crop. Since
the discovery of nitrate beds in South
America this fertilizer can be procured
much more cheaply than it was thought
possible few years ago 1t can now he
had for $50 to $50 per ton and possibly less
In appearance it resembles common salt,
and should he made as fine as possible be
fore distributing, as a little will, for most
crops be sufficient if it reaches them all.
In every case where either nitrate Of so
da or phosphate is used to enrich manure,
clover should be sown if it is with a grain
crop, so as TO leave something on the land
after the crop is removed. The nitrate is
very soluble, while the phosphate is liable 10
revert and become useless until made solu-
BILE again. Glover roots prevent the loss Of
nitrates, while they greatly aid the solub
ity Of the phosphate which the soil con
tains. Soils long cropped with wheat pro
duce good crops when clover is grown ON
them, though only the roots are left in the
soil Owing In its solubility it is better to
defer the application of nitrate Of soda to
land until spring, as otherwise much Of its
value will he washed away by floods that
often occur the latter part Of winter as the
snow goes OH and the land is filled with

The indications for this years crops in
the great Northwest are said by expert
enced observers to he excellent. The sew
en- years Of famine seem to have passed,
and bountiful rains or SHOWS, equally wei
come have fallen in nearly every section.
The Dakotas, both Of which states produce
remarkable wheat crops in good years,
have been specially favored. The rains
and spring SHOWS of North Dakota have
been unusually heavy. The ground is well
supplied with moisture. Then, too there
is another evil which plenty of moisture
prevents, and that is the drifting of the
loose surface soil, which very easily pull
verizes in the event of a rainless season,
and drifts before the westerly gales which
sweep the great plains in the spring. In
fact. these gales are one of the farmers
worst troubles, for it is utterly useless to
attempt sowing if the land he in such a
condition as to render drifting" possible
South Dakota has likewise been well favor
ed with spring showers and SHOWS. In
Minnesota there have been abundant rains,
and Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa and Illinois
have been likewise favored. The review
from which these facts are taken says in
closing 1T is proper to add that with the
prospects Of good crop season there are
equally favorable indications Of a year or
a longer season of national prosperity The
averted financial panic was evidently a
turning point 1t is said that 'forewarned
is forearmed, and it may be the numerous
predictions of financial panic, published
over year ago, were through the hidden

The Ohio agricultural experiment station
sends out the following summary Of exper-
iments on the smut Of Indian corn Corn
smut is widely distributed throughout this
country and the Old World The injury
resulting from its attacks varies from a
fraction of one per cent TO more than one
half Of the crop. Experimenters differ in
their opinions as to its harmfulness when
eaten by cattle but it is certain that it is
not an active poison. The black powder
of the smut consists of the spores. which
are simple seed Hike reproductive bodies
These reproduce smut much as seeds repro
duce ordinary plants Smut spores may
grow in manure and liquids in the barn
yard for an indefinite period. The smut
enters the corn when it is very young,
penetrating the soft tissues Of the lowest
joint and the root Of the small plant Smut
does not pass from plant to plant in the
corn field. Outward applications to the af
fected corn plant will do no good, for the
fungus is inside, and no application will
reach it. Great care should he taken to
keep the ground from becoming filled with
spores

NIaLinr richer mnuurs.

A large part of the value of fertilizers is
due TO the promptness of their action. Sta
bic manures are always proverbially slow.
They are composed generally in great part
OF coarse straw or other material used for
bedding, aud except from granted ami
mails the excrement contains a ridiculously
small proportion of available plant food.
Fresh dung is not available until some fer
mentation takes place. Until warm wealth
er incites this the stable manure does little
good. After the heats of summer begin,
the coarse manure in large amount may
even iniure crops by increasing droughts
The manure applied in the spring is often
only brought into soluble form by autumn,
when fall rains and winter SHOWS are
ready TO wash away its mot valuable por
tion into bitches and rivers
We heartily believe in stable manure,
but it is no detraction from its value to
wish that it were more Immediately avail
able. Two ways are open for doing this,
one indirect, by feeding richer foods con
tanning more heterogeneous and mineral sle-
