deciding on the price he can afford to
pay for raw manure originally the gar
dener will have to take this feature in
consideration.
These heaps may be made during au-
tumn and early winter right on the arabic
land, and the material will generally be
ready to be spread upon the soil where
wanted when the time for planting it
with spring crops has arrived. 1t is alb
solutely necessary that these heaps be of
considerable depth, not less than four
feet, in order to prevent the rainwater
from teaching clear through and washing
away valuable food elements.
The compost heap while in process of
construction is the most appropriate
dumping place for vegetable rubbish of
all sorts, the carcasses of animals Qarger
ones cut in pieces, house and kitchen
Stops and other waste materials. Refuse
matter of this kind often adds greatly
to the value of the compost.
For general garden crops this manure,
when in the right condition well rotted),
is applied broadcast and thoroughly
mixed all through the soil, generally by
blowing under in lap furrow style and
by thorough narrowing.

UNIFORM RANK, X. of p.
Supreme Lodge to Meet in Washing
ton next August.
Wash ington Post.

Washington Post.
The executive committee having in
charge the arrangements for the recep-
ton and entertainment Of the supreme
lodge and Uniform Rank, Knights OF
Pythias of the world, which will as
semble in this city next August, has
SO far completed its work as to be
able to announce the list of prizes to
be competed for by the visiting divi-
sions.
Those who have the matter in
charge, and to whose efforts is largely
due the credit of having secured the
encampment for this city, confidently
assert that the arrangements will be
on large and grand scale. Already
uniformed divisions all over the coun-
try have begun preparations to partic-
ipate in the competitive drills, for
which prizes aggregating So, 900 will
be presented. 1t is believed that a
larger number of knights will visit
this city than have ever attended any
of the previous encampments.
A general order has been issued by
Maj. Gen. Carnahan, commanding
the uniform rank, headquarters at
indianapolis, announcing the follow
ing list of prizes
For proficiency in drill-division
prizes: First prize, 81, 500 land to
each member Of the drill team a sir
knights jewell; second, 81, 200: third,
81 900 ; fourth, $500; fifth, 5000
sixth, $500; seventh, $500 eighth,
5000 ninth. $500; and tenth, SIoo.
For best division commander, jewel,
sfoo. For division travelling the
longest distance by shortest route to
reach Washington city, $500.
Battalion prize-For the best battal-
ion drill. by battalion consisting OF
not less than four divisions and full
complement of regimental, field, and
staff officers, $500.
Mounted divisions-First prize.
$500, and second, $500.
The order names Washington as the
place for holding the encampment,
and thus settles all questions as to its
location.
In concluding his order Maj Gen.
Canadian says:
Officers and Sir Knights, the su-
preme chancellor and major-general
are fully convinced that the Knights
and citizens of Washington will more
than redeem all the pledges made
when they extended the invitation for
you TO hold your encampment of 1894
at the National Capital 1t remains
for you TO make that encampment a
success. The occasion will be a men,
orable one for every officer and Sir
Knight who shall be there.
You will for the first time in the his
tory Of the Uniform Rank be accorded
the honor Of passing in review before
the President of the United States.
The generals of the United States
Army. and the officers of the United
States Navy will be spectators. and
the representatives Of the old world
will witness the parade of the grand
est body Of citizen soldiers that this or
any other age has produced. Begin
your preparations at once. Go to
Washington. and by your courteous
and gentlenianly department, knight
~ and soldierly bearing. both on and
off duty. add to the honors already
won and worn.

COMPOSING MANURE.

How This May BE Accomplished Without
Loss OF Fertilizing Material.
Raw manure is not in condition for the
market gardeners purposes except in rare
cases. Il may do for sweet corn and
comes in play for heating hotbeds or fore
ing melons, but for general garden crops
it must be composted and made as fine
as possible. There need be no loss of
fertilzing materials or elements if the
compost heap is properly made, as shown
in the illustration. Pile it up in a square
heap with perpendicular sides and fiat
top. four or five feet high and as wide
as long, as may be required, advises
Greiner in his How to Make the Garden
Pay" He further directs:
Let it come to heat and fork the
mass over from time to time until it is in
the desired condition. 1t takes time and
labor, adding to the original cost, and in

A "Mourninr" Dinner.

A somewhat eccentric dinner was once
given in New York by lady who was
wearing very deep mourning for her hus-
band. The table was decorated in black,
purple and white, the napery of course
was white. but embroidered with the
darkest purple pansies-with the mono
gram in black. Silver vases. filled with
the same dark flower, were at the cor
ners of the table, and the ices and small
confectionery were all in violet and
white. To make the whole thing con-
sistent, the hostess requested all her
friends to wear black, and a guest who
presided at the foot of the table-and
afterward, by the way. married the host
ess-appeared with broad band of Grape
around his left arm.-San Francisco Ar
