APPLYING MANURE.
How TO Secure the Best Possible Resul
with Fertilizers.

How TO Secure the Best Possible Results
with Fertilizers.
In applying manure, in order to Sc
cure the best possible results, the kind
of manure, as well as the variety of
crops to be planted, must be consid-
cred.
Generally the manure that consists
largely of the droppings of animals
should be applied to the soil as soon as
possible, and to lessen the waste IL
should be incorporated with the soil,
either by narrowing or cultivating, as
soon as possible after applying.
Coarse, straw manure, or that COM
posed of a considerable per cent. of
corn stalks or other litter, should be at
least partially rotted before scattering
in the field, especially IL it is to be left
on the surface, and the crop that is to
be planted is one that will require more
or less cultivation.
With commercial fertilizers, or such
special manures as salt, lime, plaster,
bone meal or what is generally termed
general commercial fertilizers, for all
sown crops good plan is to prepare
the soil in a good tilth ready for the
seed and then scatter the fertilizer
broadcast over the surface and then
work into the soil with harrow. For
nearly or quite all straw crops, like
grass or hay, oats, wheat barley or
rye, the manure or fertilizer should be
near the surface and should as rule
be applied after the soil is plowed, and
in many cases it will be best,
and especially SO with CONNER
cia1 fertilizers, to harrow and
work the soil into a good tilth
for the seed before applying. With
corn, potatoes or other cultivated or
hoed crops the manure or fertilizer
should be worked little deeper in
to the soil A good plan of applying
commercial manures is to mark out the
rows ready for planting and then drop
| the fertilizer where the seed is to be
planted, stirring well into the soil, and
then planting the seed on this. With
scatter broadcast after plowing, and
then thoroughly stir the soil with the
cultivator to work well into the soil.
With fall wheat or hay, or with
meadows and pasture lands, with either
animal manures made on the farm OF
commercial or special fertilizers, good
plan is to top dress, hoeing reasonably
fine and scattering as evenly as pos.
sible over the surface. Salt can be ap.
piled in this way to wheat and ashes to
meadows. Lime, plaster or other ma
terials, if applied as top dressing late
in the winter or early spring, will be
readily dissolved by the rain and snow,
and will be taken up and retained by
the soil for the use of the growing
plants. AS a rule. the bestresults with
all manures can be secured by ineor-
porating well with the soil, as this
lessons materially the loss by teaching
or evaporating.-St Louis Republic

WEATHER-VANE TOWN.
New Hampshire village where Queor
Wind IndInntOrs Abound.

A New Hampshire village Where Queor
Wind Indicators Abound.
There is tiny village in New Hamp-
shire which takes special pride in its
weather-vanes, and it certainly can
boast great variety of ingeniously con-
trived and woather-and-wind-proof spec
linens of these useful articles.
They we're evidently designed not
only for use, but for ornament, and
there Is scarcely q barn Of any size
which is not decorated with weather
vane Of more or less complicate work.
manship.
Most of these vanes were made many
years ago by an old man who took great
delight in carving the queer figures and
planning their arrangement so they
would go through various motions. 1t
is said that he was in the habit OF "try-
ing" figure, when he had completed
it, on his own barn, and then when he
became satisfied that it worked proper
ly, he would carry it with great pride to
the farmer who had ordered 1t.
There is one which still stands guard
over barn that has long since been de-

lonely farm to seek their fortunes at the
West. 1t is the figure of soldier, whose
uniform is greatly faded from years OF
exposure, but whose gun still indicates
the quarter from which the wind is
blowing by its position. Its evolutions
when the wind is, as the weather-wise
farmers say, backing or hauling" are
quite interesting.
There are animals of different kinds,
such as cows, horses, pigs and bears,
which are used as vane-hgures, and
point with their heads, legs, or tails as
the case may be. One figure of horse,
which has long since left its best days
behind it, presents startling effect
from the fact that a horse-hair tail has
been inserted in place of the old wooden
one, and being of a length quite out OF
proportion to the horses size, it some
times, in high wind, lashes the poor
animals head in most upcanny way.

slolLIAN CIVILIZATION.
1t Is Less Advanced Than That of other
Portions OF italy.

In proportion as Sicily is less ad-
vanced in civilization than Italy, so is
superstition here more obstinate and
childish. One of thestrangest beliefs Of
the peasantry is that the soul has its
residence in the pit of the stomach, and
that to its struggles to escape from i'm
prisonment are due the prolonged ago
nies OF the dying, especially in old age
On issuing from its confinement the
spirit enters straight way some other
body conveniently situated for the trans
fer, and there are women (the cases Of
men, it is asserted, are rarer) in whose
stomachs the souls Of their father, their
mother, and a choice number of rela-
tives are said to have found simultan-
eously an abiding place. The pains
caused by these contendiug spirits and
the varying moods and influences for
good or evil to which the unhappy body,
which If the battlefield of so many
warning forces is subject clearly prove
this. Where rascality and beneficence,
hatred and loving Kindness dominate
alternately one and the same man, is it
not clear that divers spirits have entered
into him? psychological thesis sup
ported, indeed, by the testimony of
Holy Writ.
The case of peasant, the Giro Spe-
dalieri, condemned in 1886 to eight
years Imprisonment for having be-
witched another peasant, and caused
him frightful physical agonies, shows
that superstition is not confined to the
lower classes. The most comical illus
traticn Of this was given me at Palermo
In the story of certain pious Marchesa,
whose husband lay grievously sick. His
doctor ordered him certain pills, which
he duly swallowed, until one, larger and
harder than the rest, stuck in his throat.
Having pulled it out he discovered it
was piece Of paper rolled tightly up
to represent pill. His better half had
substituted printed prayer to the Vir.
gin, in the firm conviction that he
would derive more benefit thereby than
any drugs The grandmother of my
friend, General S., remembered and de.
scribed seeing woman and q priest, as
her accomplice in witchcratt, burned al
the stake in the public place at Palermo.
AS to the belief which prompts the mur
derer or robber to offer up fervent invo
cations at the shrine of his patron saint
for help and for pardon before the com
mission of a crime, this parody of piety
Is most offensive, as it is the common
est form of superstition still rife in Sici
ly. Madonna and the saints can be
squared to connive at any thing if they
are only humbly entreated. Nineteenth

that the central set is 8 feet shorter

Practical DehornInr.

Dehorning is coming into general
practice, and whoever has seen drove
OF dehorned cattle confined in small
yard and eating like sheep out of one
rack, or gathered together in groups for
mutual protection from flies or cold,
can not but admit that dehorning is sue
cessful. There is no pushing the weak
er ones to the outside nor gasbing them
with sharp horns. The fact that COW
does not shrink any in her milk and
goes right to eating as soon as let loose,
seems pretty good evidence that it is not
such painful or cruel practice as many
imagine. The largest horn can be cut
off in thirty seconds with sharp saw,
and many of them in five seconds An
other method is to prevent the growth
of the horns. Take young calves when
they are one to three weeks old, wet the
horn spots with water, and with stick
of caustic potash rub the spots until the
hair begins to loosen and come off of
the horn spots. The peculiar action of
the potash stops all growth of the horn
and is not very painful operation. Pro-
tect the fingers by wrapping the stick
IN paper.-Farm and Home.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

OFTEN poultry suffers for the want of
water.
Fowls will fatten faster if they are
confined than if allowed to run at large.
LEAVES or chaff make an excellent
litter for the floor in the poultry houses.
In sending eggs to market better
price can be realized if they are washed
clean.
THERE are some breeds that will not
thrive on a damp clay soil; dry sandy
loan is best
FATTENINa fowls should be fed at
least five times a day all that they will
eat up clean.
POULTRY will be more comfortable in
house of their own than in the stables
and granaries.
IN fattening poultry many persons
neglect to feed often enough to secure
the best results.
If the quarters are so cold that water
freezes readily the hens can hardly be
expected to lay eggs regularly.
BY scattering leaves over the floor
and scattering small grain among them
good opportunity for exercise will be
afforded the hens.
AT the first sign of disease all of the
sick fowls should be separated from the
well ones and be put into warm, dry
place to themselves.
THE best plan of supplying charcoal
to the poultry is to burn corn, not black
but nicely Drowned; give them all that
they will eat up clean.
THE advantage in securing good
home market for your poultry and eggs
is that you save transportation and
commission charges at least.
IN nearly all cases it is best to have
two rooms to the poultry house, one for
nests and the other for roosts. Have
the roosting place well lighted.
ONE of the cheapest and best plans
of fumigating the poultry house is by
burning sulphur in it and keeping it
shut up tight two or three hours.
IF oil-meal is to be fed to poultry the
better plan is to mix it with bran, feed
ing small quantity at first and grad
ually increasing; too much given at
once before they get accustomed to it
often induces diarrhea.
If an incubator is to be used, and
especially if very early broilers are to
be raised, arrangements should be
made as soon as possible so as to secure
both the incubator and brooder and
have on hand ready for use.

An Experiment to Test the Memory OF q

Gatekeeper.
''It is a singular thing" remarked
one man to another as they made their
way toward the ferry waiting-room,
chow long it takes the average man to

time come through, though he sees me
every day. l mover have any trouble
with the train conductor, but that is be-
cause he is man of unusual intelli-
gence. | have met many conductors
who would make you show your ticket
at every station, and would never get to
know you, even if you rode with them
twice day. That's the kind of man
that fellow al the gate is It's awfully

boat, to have to stop, unbutton your
overcoat and get your ticket out of

AS the two walked about, waiting for
the boat, an idea struck the man who
had been talking.
st would be interesting" said he,
ito see how many times fellow could
walk through that gate without being
recognized. Suppose We try it?'
"All right" said his friend.
You go along, and I'll stand here

The commuter went out through the
wagon gateway into the street. He re-
turned through the passenger gate, and

with the same result He tried several
times more, and still the obdurate gem
tleman failed to recognize him. There
were few people going through at that
time, and it was singular that his con-
tinued temperance was not noticed.
Persistence, did, however have an
effect at last. On the sixth trip through
the gateway the gatekeeper stared at
him in rather bewildered manner On
the seventh trip the gatekeeper swore
gently to himself, and demanded to see
the name on the commuters ticket.
The commuter permitted him to read it,
and on reaching the waiting-room said
to his friend, HE has found out my
name. Lend me your ticket"
On the eighth trip through the gate
way he showed his friends ticket. The
gatekeeper swore loudly as he ap-
preached.
''1've got you," said he, "you can't
make game OF me. Let me see the name
on that ticket"
The commuter assumed an air Of in
dignation, but complied.
well, I'm beat" exclaimed the gate
man, as he read the ticket. And he
scratched his head in perplexity,
What do you mean by addressing
such harsh remarks to me?" asked the
commutor.

the gateman in an apologetie tone,

Food for Young Colts.

e. w. Stewart, in the Country GEN
tleman, says that colts six months old,
properly weaned, may be fed on MKT
ure of one pint oats, one and one-half
quarts bran and four ounces linseed
meal, all well mixed together as days
feed of grain given in two feeds with
what hay they will eat. This ration
may be gradually increased as the colt
grows older. A colt one year old may
be fed the following mixture: one quart
oats, four quarts bran and one pound
hnseed meal las days ration of grain
given in two feeds, dry with what hay
it will eat. A colt two years old may
have the following mixture: two quarts
oats, six quarts bran and one pound
hnseed meal, as a days ration, mixed
with two pounds of cut hay, dry, given
in two feeds, with what other long hay
it will eat afterwards. When the feed
can be properly given dry more saliva
will flow to moisten during mastication
Bran and oats mix well together, and
the small quantity of cut hay mixed
with it will make it still more porous in
the stomach.
