Manure In Heaps.

Occasionally even yet we find manure
drawn on fields, and left in heaps
during the winter. II is probably from q
notion that this is the best way to prevent
waste. 1t really prevents the land from re-
ceiving the benefit from the manure it
should Spread on the surface this manure
would be dissolved by rains and SHOWS, aud
mixed with the soil. In that way its benefit
will be increased hundredfold. Left in
heaps until plowed 10 spring it will do little

Protecting Melons from Cut Worms.

Protecting Melons from Out Worms.
On some land cut worms are very de-
structiye to melons, cucumbers and other
small vegetables. The cut worm comes up
TO the surface usually in the night or about
sunrise, and eats the plant Off at the sur
face of the ground. These pests are very
fond of fine middlings, and taking advant-
age of this weakness, some gardeners mix
Paris green with the middlings, which the
worms devourinR are poisoned The meal
is spread in ring around the young
plants. If any plants are eaten down il
shows that the worm has come zap inside the
ring, when he may be trac ed down his
hole and killed. But a great many dead
worms will DO found on the surface of the
grounds If the plat is infested with them.

FUN In CHILE.
Americans Fired At for Fishing
Without a Permit.

The British bark Dunstaffnage arrived
in port last evening with cargo of nitrate
from Caleta Buena. She was boarded by a
CALL reporter in search of war news, but
rs the vessel has been seYenty-five days on
the trip no very late news was obtIined from
her
We saw some of the fighting" said the
chief mate of the vessel, land it was warm
while it lasted. There were several Skin
mishes while we lay in Caleta Buena, but
the hottest fight took place on February
18th, when two rebel vessels, Tolda and
Covad0nga, shelled the forts on the hill.
The fight lasted about three hours and ended
in victory for the gunboats, as they sue
ceeded in driving every man gu: of the
forts. We lay not far out of the line of fire,
and came near being hit several times by
the shot and shell, but the only thing that
came Oh board US was half dozen bullets.
No great damage was done to our shns, but
the gunboats did not escape so we'll, as a
well-dlrected shot from the fort killed two
men on board the Tolda, and soon after a
shell from the same fort landed on the deck
OF the Covadonga and killed two men, be-
sides wounding half dozen. The after
part OF the poop deck was torn all to pieces
by the explosion, but the rebs only fought
harder and succeeded in killing eight men
IN the fort before the fight ended.
No one was allowed Oh shore but the
captain, and he had to report on board the
Covadonga,l both coming and going Not
even boat was allowed TO cross the har-
Dor without permission from the gunboat.
The American bark Belvidere was at
anchor in the harbOr, and her mate and N.Y.
self took the boat one day and went out
fishing. When we returned we did not go
alongside the gunboat to report, as we had
been lying in plain view of her all day, and
they knew We had not been ashore, but
that made no difference, for no sooner did
We attempt TO pass her than they opened
fire on us with their small arms, and
nothing but the very bad craftsmanship
displayed saved us from being riddied. AS
1t was, our boat was shot through and
through and soon flied with water.
We we're in nice fix, as no help could
come to US from our own vessels, and we
began to think the ChiIeans were going to
let us drown like pair of rats, but they
finally got out a boat and picked us up We
were taken on board the Covadonga and
kept there until next day, and then told we
could 20 on board our vessels and not go
fishing again without permit
The bark had rough time of it on the
4th and 9TH of July. She got caught in a
heavy gale, which carried away several OF
her sails aud flooded her decks with water.

rotary of the board upon application.

tary Maslin was authorized to secure the
