SAVING MANURE.

Manure lies at the root OF successf ul
husbandry in all Of the ol1er States.
The virgin prairie soils Of the green
West are fast becoming impoverished,
under the influence of remorseless crop
ping, unattended by any adequate return
of fertility. Therefore il is merely
question of time when the Western
farmer is destined to find himself in the
same straits, regarding the use of man
ure, as his Eastern contemporary. Large
crops everywhere require liberal fertiliza-
tion. Every farmer must, to be sue
cessful, make all the manure possible
frcm his domestic animals, and preserve
it in as perfect condition as may be,
until it can be applied to the ground.
Scattered here and there over the hill
sides, and among the valleys of New
England, there still remain many of the
oldtime COW barns, though the hands of
their builders have long been dust. One
can scarcely drive through the country
in any direction without seeing one or
more of these ancient structures, the
chief inconvenience of which, from
modern point of view, consists in the
absence of convenient pits in which
manure may be stored. The dung, as
fast as made, Is thrown through windows
or openings behind the COWS, where it
accumulates in heaps, against the build
ings. Here it is exposed to the wasting
effects of rain and sun, frost and heat.
The sites of these barns being usually
somewhat elevated, it is not unusual,
after shower, to see a stream Of dark
fluid, charged with fertility, flowing into
some brook or swamp, where it is for
ever lost to the purpose of agriculture.
What makes it worse is that the urine
aud more soluable portions of the
manurs (Which, from the very reason of
their solubility, are most valuable) are
soonest wasted by teaching. Manure
managed in the above manner loses at
least one-half its value. Now, with
very little labor and expense, all this
waste may be avoided. First, remove
the soil to the depth of two feet from
the entire surface, which the bottom of
the manure pile is to cover, replacing it
with some good dry absorbent, which
will catch and hold all the liquids.
Next construct a lean-to roof against the
barn, sufficiently high and large enough
to protect the manure. Any rough or
secondhand boards are good enough
for the purpose. These may be covered
with cheap shingles, tin or anything
water proof. The thin sheet iron, such
as Is used in making caustic soda casks,
makes tight and durable roof, and can
usually be bought of soap manufacturers
for a song. The manure, even when
kept out of doors, may be kept practi-
cally without loss. Matters will be
greatly facilitated if cows are always
furnished with bedding sufficient to ab-
sorb the valuable materials in the urine.

TWO ILLUSTRATIONS.

The effects of license and prohibition are
cIeary seen in two towns lying side by side
in our Empire State The one is a city of
ten thousand inhabitants with ninety-nine
licersed drinking places. 1t goes without
saying that poverty ahounds and crime is
rite. The many manufactures render 1t
possible for each poor man to own his home
Instead, in most cases, his earnings go into
the rumseler's till, and the hearts of many
good citizens who love purity and temper
ance are filed with sorrow and discourage
ment. The other, village of three thou
sand five hundred inhabitants, has had no
license for fourteen years. The law is en-
forced 1t has one OF the finest Normal
Schools in the State. The building, costing
one hundred thousand dollars, was the gift
of citizens TO the State.
1t is hard to find home of destitution and
most citizens own their pleasant homes.
They have fine water system owned by the
town; electric lights, also the towns prop
erty: and line of electric cars connecting

Piano Tuners are All Nerves.

The piano tuner who Is man has
not learned from books. He has grown
up with the piano as boy in the fac
tory and knows it at every stage. His
ear is attuned to those fine differences
that are essential to the best of sort of
piano tunning, and his appreciation of
them is almost like an instinct. To
catch these he is always on the alert.
Every sound detracts HIM, a child's cry,
n birds chirp. The constant wear and
tear engenders nervous irritability; he
becomes n bundle of nerves, and the dis
tance from thence to crankiness is not
far. 1t is this strain on the nerves, rather
than the muscular strength required.
that makes piano tuning a discouragng
occupation for women. The muscular
strength required in holding up the
strings is considerable, but women
could stand it much better. Another
obstacle to women's success as piano
tuners is that they are not mechanics.
A man tuning piano Is expected to
remedy the creaking pedal and anything
else amiss that can be done without
sending it to the shop. This his prev
ious experience enables him to do. AL
together it seems that women piano
tuners could hardly compete with men,
but in remote places might find their
ervices valuable. York Sun.

Place the fronds to be pressed smoothly,
one by one, in the layers of newspaper,
putting at least three thicknesses of paper
between the fronds. Arrange the latter
with their points all the same way, for
the pressure will sometimes leave the
dent of the thicker part of the stack Of
one fern across the delicate tip of an
other. Ferns with especially coarse
stems should be pressed in a pile by
themselves for the same reason. The
book covers or boards, with the pile of
fern filled papers into them, should be
placed under heavy weight; the next
day the ferns should be taken out, one
by one, and placed in fresh papers with
the same care as before. The papers
first used can be spread to dry, and
again used for the next days change.
1t will not be necessary then to change
again for three or four days, and after
that they may rest undisturbed for a
week, or, still better, for two weeks.
When taken out they should be kept in
fiat pile till wanted for use, to prevent
them from curling up.-Good House
keeping.

LESSON FROM A PRIZE FIGHT.

The prize fight between Corbett and Sui
livan was, as all prize fights are, brutal
affair; but if a valuable lesson can be ex-
tracted from it, it seems to us well worth
while to extract it, Corbett, If not total
abstainer, is the next thing to one. Sullivan
will not, we hope, be disposed TO knock us
out if we observe that he is not. lmme-
diately after the fight, when Corbetts
friends drank enthusiastically to his health,
he drank with them in cup of milk. A
friend who had not for two years drank
liquor declared that for once he was going
to break his pledge, but Corbett is sald to
have threatened never TO speak to him again
if he did. The first thing Sullivan did after
he pulled himself together was to go on a
continuous jag, lasting until he was placed
on the ehomeward-boundt train and his trainer
succeeded in seeing that the supply OF liquor
ran out. The speech which his trainer made
TO him ON the train will not rank with one of
Demosthenes's orations, but it had pith and
point to it nevertheless. He said:
Booze has brought you down to the lev 81
of a fourth-rate fighter from the top of the
ladder. Isn't that enough? You made a
game fight, and will have no trouble in
getting along if you let the bottle alone. If
you keep on, though, you'll be common
bum in six MONTHS
Among those who took care of Corbett
during the fight was Mike Donovan, trainer
of the New York Athletic Club. To friend
of ours several years ago, in explaining why
he did not drink, Mike said: whisky takes
the heart out of a man." The strongest man
of the century perhaps and one of the most
perfect specimens of physical manhood the
world has ever seen, was whipped, as one
paper observes not so much by Jim Cor
bett as by jim jams; and he is not a sot,
either-not yet. But no man yet tackled
the demijohn and came Off first best. The
greatest prize fight of many years in the
Of ybs,
ing each others heads has this as one re
deeming trait in its demoralizing influence,
that it is temperance object lesson that
will be seen ami pondered over by thousand
who never heard a temperance speech anC
never had the glorious privilege of reading
the Voice. Thus, even as Samson, the
strong man of old, extracted sweet honey
from the carcass of dead lion, so from the
beaten, bruised and besotted body Of Johr
l.. Sullivan is extracted a lesson that give
strength to the cause Of sobriety and self
restraint,-The Voice.

FIGHTING NoxIoUs INSECTS.

Time has come for an active discus
sion of the means for preventing the
great increase in number and varieties of
pernicious insects. These have become
an intolerable burden upon farmers, and
the losses by them far surpass the total
of those which have been suffered by
animal diseases. And yet there has been
for years a special department Of the
Agricultural Bureau for the suppression
of diseases among animals. Laws lave
been enacted in all the States for the
protection of live stock from disease
spread by careless persons.
But nothing has been done in regard

and careless neighbors, who breed
myriads OF the pests in their fields OF
gardens, and permit them 10 scatter

Jury done is enormous, and unless some
effective remedy is applied very soon the
burden will become too heavy to b,

pest as many others that might be men,

is the public sentiment which would in-
duce all concerned to take the necessary
measures to keep their own premises

this is once aroused effectively there will
be an end of the trouble. York
