Manure In The Fall.

1t is good plan to spread manure
upon the fields in the fall. Experience
shows that manure applied in the fall
to the surface, either of plowed or grass
land, will become so thoroughly pull
verified and distributed through the
soil by the action of frost and rain as
to act more quickly and be in better
condition for plants to assimilate than
the same fertilizer would be applied in
the spring. The loss from drainage,
unless upon very steep surfaces, will
probably be less than from the washing
if left in open yards. The loss from
evaporation is likely to be much less
than that from fernen tation, if the
manure is allowed to accumulate in
cellars or sheds.

Besides being good housewife, the
farmers wife should be a good cook.
Well did Owen Meredith write:
'.We may live without poetry, music or art
We may live without friends,
We may live without heart,
We may live without wealth,
We may live without books,
But civilized men cannot live without cooks"
ind it to be true that man who
has had good meal well cooked, be-
comes highly civilized animal who
is also quite tractable, and have
often wondered if bearish husbands
are not SO because of the awful cook
ing they are inflicted with. / am sure
l should become quite savage under a
bad lot of cooking, long continued.
To sum up; The farmers wife
should be Industrious ard neat, but
not so over nice that broom OF mop
is always in her hands. She should
be good cook, cheerful companion
and an intelligent co-worker and com
rade for her husband. If she is these
she may be happy she will.-Ameri-

Too Nice to Live In,

There are SO many houses in this
country that are too nice to live in, if
the action of those who live in them is
any criterion. l know of houses that
might be pleasant homes if the good
housewife did not think them too nice
to occupy. Many of these houses pre-
sent to the passer-by an appearance of
being deserted, because the front blinds
are always closed and the shades drawn
to keep out the light, and prevent the
sun from fading the carpets.
No life can be made too bright and
no house too homelike. Where all the
house but two or three rooms in the
rear is kept closed the year around ex-
cept on state occasions and at the an
nual house-cleaning no one can feel at
home, / have visited houses where |

me any uneasiness in the mind of my

this paper will ever build house that
is too nice to live in. A small parlor

for guests and to use as reception
room, but it should be frequently
opened and aired, and furnished for
use and not for looks.-Carrie Ohelen.

Cotton Mills in the South.

Hon. T. Jefferson Coolidge, of Bos-
ton, ex-Miuister to France and treas
urer of the Amoskeag Manufacturing
Company is one of the many promi-
nent New England manufacturers
who predict a prosperous future for
cotton mills in the South. He says:
Regarding the present state of the
cotton goods business, / can only say
that it is very dull, goods never sold
at such low prices and l look for no
immediate Improvement. The future
is unpromising. AS to the movement t
on the part Of certain manufacturers
to locate mills in the South, think il
will be success. / know of no good
argument to the contrary. Southern
labor. especially in the mountain re-
gions, is in every way equal to that of
the North. The railroads have been
and are still wiling to make induce
ments as regards freight rates. SO that
the Southern manufacturer can de-
liver his goods in the Western market
cheaper than we can This new en-
terprise is blow to the prosperity of
Massachusetts,"

Any one passing out on the road

to those who have not planted oats
this season to do 50 next year, an d
plant at the time, and II dry, in the
manner in which he planted his, and
they certainly will have oats. We
planted at the same time, but plowed
our ground and narrowed the oats in
which did not get down to moisture
and away from the hot sun, and in
consequence they have grown but
little. Olsen sowed his and plowed
them under, which process put heavy
mulch over them and kept them moist
and made them grow rapidly. Robert
Stinson, west of Canton, has similar

to see how beautifully green these
spots are in contrast with their sur
roundings, and how the stock do rel

examples shonld teach others the i'm

each year should see an increase of
grain. We know of others who have
planted oats on large scale, but not |
early like those mentioned. Planting
IN August or September will give
grazing from December until the 1st of
March.
