Winter Manure Compost.

On most farms the great bulk of
manure is made from animals stabbed
during the winter. II not drawn out
as fast as made 1t Is commonly ex-
posed to snow, rain, and other weather
that prevents the decomposition that
is needed to make it quickly effect
i've Hence the plan of drawing ma
nure from the stables as made iscom-
ing into general practice. BUTT can
he drawn and spread in winter with
better effect II piled in heaps two,
three, or four weeks under cover, and
turned once or perhaps twice TO pre-
vent too violent heating, Manure
thus made will tell at once, and is
thus worth much more per load than
its decrease in bulk would show. 1t
will be for most early crops as good or
better than the concentrated ma
nures, as its large proportion of nitro
gen will cause the manure to heat
again and make rich the soil with
which it comes in contact. This
composing will destroy some kinds
of weed seeds, but it is not to be de-
pended on, as there are others that
are only made to terminate more
freely bv exposure to heat and moist

The Horrors OF war.

Camille Flammarion, the French
author, has passion for big figures.
General statistics, he says, prove
that since the Trojan war, 5000 years
ago, not single year has elapsed in
which some war has not killed its
proportionate number says the New
York Journal, During the thirty
centuries which have elapsed since
the beginning of Asiatic and Euro
pean history, a loss Of 100000 900 a
century makes the total number de
stroyed by war to be / 200, 900, 900, a
number very nearly representing the
total population of the globe at the
present day.
The sword is ccaselessly drawing
blood from human veins. Eighteen
million cubic meters have been shed.
In summer at Paris the Seine de-
livers to the two parts of the bridge
Pont-Neuf about one hundred cubic
meters Of water every second,
moving with force of $500 horse
power. Every hour 800, 900 cubic
meters Of waters pass under the
arches of the bridge, or S,640, 600
cubic meters in a day.
Imagine the river to be human
blood instead Of water, for if all the
blood shed in all the wars was put
into a basin between the quays it
would form such a river, and we
would have to remain standing on
the parapet fifty hours to see it flow
away.
If the l,2OO, OOO,O 900 skeletons
should rise and climb one upon the
other the ladder thus formed would
reach the moon, coil about that body
and, continuing onward, would mount
into infinite space four times as far
again, that is, 5OO,7O leagues in
height. The corpses if thrown into
the channel at Calais would form a
bridge between France and England
and separate the ocean from the
North sea by a weir. If only the
heads of the men slaughtered in war
were taken and placed side by side a
band would be formed reaching six
times around the world.
A great deal Of money is necessary
in order to kill in a proper manner,
for each man slain costs about 81, 900.
The increasing and multiplying taxes
of all nations are never sufficient to
pay for the butchery ofhuman troops.
Every year Europe spends more than
81, 200, 900, 900 in shedding her Chi
dren's blood and France spends $780,
900 every day.
From the Crimean war down to
that of 1901, the civilized ma
tions of Europe and America spent
in destroying one another 100000
0O0, 900 of the ordinary budget and
more than 81, 900, 900, 900 raised ex-
pressly for the purpose, making to-
tai of S21, 900, 10000 The wars of
the last hundred years have cost
$40, 600, 600, 900, without counting
the sorrow, the loss of men and other
results.

Punishment for a King.

Harper's Young People mentioned
not long ago that the King of Spain
is a more or less naughty boy, and
that he does not always treat his sub
jects with that gracious courtesy
which is expected from monarchs in
these times. The other day, when
he was driving with his nurse, the
boy king is said to have put out his
tongue at the world in general, and
the residents of Madrid in particular.
The editor of republican newspaper
thereupon proceeded to make pollti-
cal capital out Of the event, and drew
a moral that kings are not needed in
this age. When the news Of the
kings behavior reached Queen Chris
tina through the newspapers, it is
said that she first lectured her son on
his duties and responsibilities, and
then, laying him across her royal
knee, administered vigorous spank
ing. This may not be the touch that
makes the whole world kin, but a
great many little American democrats
will know hereafter how to sympa-
thize with this son of royalty.

In one of the great Pennsylvania
manufactures there was recently an
apparent discrepancy in the accounts
involving a matter of 5000 pounds of
scrap iron. The clerks spent two
whole days over the figures and final
ly gave up the task Of trying to make
the accounts balance, Several days
later the Office boy took notion to
amuse himself by adding column of
figures on sheet Of paper which hap
pened to be on the desk before him,
but somehow he could not make the
footings agree with the amount set
down. His curiosity was quickened
and, not being pressed with work, he
examined each figure infinitely and
discovered a fly speck at the side Of
the figure one, in the thousand col
umn, which made it look precisely
like four. Each of the clerks had
called it a four, and but for the sharp
eyes of the boy, the mystery would
have probably remained unexplained

worms within the web feed upon the
green portions Of the foliage, but
leave the network Of veins to tell the
story of their presence, They gradu-
ally enlarge their web as the foliage
within is eaten, so that by the time
a colony Of them has finished opera
tions a good-sized branch may be COW
cred with the webs, looking cOnspicu-
Gus enough against the green back
ground Of the rest Of the tree. The
full-grown caterplllars are about an
inch long Gig. |, AZ, and have their
bodies densely clothed with yellowish
hairs, their usually being longitude
nal black stripe on the back. At
this time they leave the nests, and
descend to the ground, where they
go into the third stage of their exist
ence, changing to pupP or chrysalids.
The change takes place sometimes
beneath the soil surface, and some
times under shelter above it. For
their protection the caterpillars spin
slight silken cocoons within which
the change to the pupa state takes
place. Later they again change to
adult moths The simplest remedy
for this insect is that of cutting and
burning, or crushing the webs when
they are small. The caterplllars at
this time are all together, and are
easily destroyed. Spraying with
Paris green or London purple will
also destroy them. -Cultivator.
