A simple and inexpensive protection
for the manure, such as is illustrated
herewith, is not out of the reach of
anyone, however, and with its use the
manure can be kept safe from all
teaching. The manure is usually
thrown out in heaps by the side of the
barn. A shed roof can be built over
these at small expense. The cut shows
the method OF framing the. dotted
lines showing the boarding of the
ends. The only mistake likely to be
made is in getting the roof too narrow,
with the result that rains accompanied
by wind may beat in and wash the
outer part of the piles, which will
spread out upon the ground more or
less, even with careful management.
The outer edge of the roof need be
only high enough that cart can be
backed under it, and being thus low
will aid not little in keeping cut the
rain: but even with low roof 1 should
want width of at least twelve feet
and good gutter upon the outer edge.
Let the ground be level under such a
shed roof, or, at most, but slightly
sloping, else the manure will be con-
tinually rolling out from under the
shelter of the roof when thrown out of
the windows.
Where such an arrangement is used,
care must be taken to have the cattle
stalls well lighted from the ends of the
barn.-Webb Donnell, in N. Y. Trib-

SCREWS FOR REPAIRS.

In Most Instances They Are Far More
serviceable Than Nails.
A good supply of screws, of various
lengths and sizes, should be kept, for
in very many places where nails are
commonly used screws would be very
much better. Screws will hold two
pieces of wood more rigidly than nails;
whereas it is difficult In most instances
to tighten loose work with nails in
places where there is an unusual strain
on the parts to be held together By
the gross they can be purchased very
cheap and, in the long run, found no
more expensive in many places than
nails. Screws may be made to hold in
soft wood or where the cut has become
too large, by the use of glue. Prepare
the glue thick, immerse stick about
half the size of the screw, and put 1t
into the hole; then immense the screw,
and drive it home as quickly as pos
sible. When there is some article of
furniture to be repaired and no glue is
to be had handily, insert the stick and
fill the rest of the cavity with pulver-
lied resin; then heat the screw suffi-
GENTLY to melt the resin as it is
driven in.
In broken plastered wall the best
plan is to enlarge the hole to about
twice the diameter of the screw, fill it
with plaster of paris, such as is used
for fastening the tops of lamps, etc,
and bed the screw in the soft plaster.
When the plaster has set the screw will
be held very firmly. If screws are
warmed and dipped in melted tallow
or raw linseed oil, it will prevent their
rusting and they can always be UNI
screwed with ease. A large quantity
of screws can be CREASED in few
minutes, and the operation is one
which will result in great saving oil
time and labor.

The advocates of postal savings
bank will find. if they inquire of the
postal authorities at Washington, that
the post office department is used as
savings bank now by great many peo-
pie. Last year thirty thousand dupli-
Gates of money orders were issued.
Many OF these were Issued in place of
orders which had been iflvalidated by
defective endorsement or had been

only nominal, and the safety assured
is greater than that of banks or safe
deposit vaults. Even the loss OF the
certificates does not endanger the de-
post. A duplicate will be issued by

ton of the purchaser.
The people who use the money-order
service as savings institution are usu-

Pile who have gone to the west to make
fortune and who expect to return
east.to spend it. Actors frequently buy
money-orders on New York city. Min
ers in the far west use the money-order
as means of renting money east.
So common is this practice that at
more than one-half the money-order
offices in the postal service surplus
funds are forwarded at regular inter-
walls, most of them being sent to New
York city to pay money-orders issued
on the post Office there. New York
city is the center of the money-order
system, and all drafts by post offices
which receive more money-orders
than they issue are made on New
York.
When a money-order is year old it
is invalid, but the post Office depart
ment will issue duplicate at any time
on application. There is no limit to
the life of money-order, and the man
who wishes to deposit his money with
the post Office department can keep it
there as long as he plcases. Many old
money-orders representing savings are
found in safe-deposit boxes, in desks,
and so on, in the administration of es.
tates. The money-order division of
the post office department is receiving
these old orders constantly. Some Of
them are fifteen and twenty years
old.-Harper's Weekly.

tent thst is to be seen in New Eng
land. This matters little, however.
The main point is to bring the value of
the plan to the attention of farmers
that now permit their nianure piles to
be leached by every rain and by the
melting SHOWS of winter, such manure
heaps being usually situated alongside
the barn and directly under the caves
which may or may not have cutters to
carry off the rain that falls upon the
roofs. of course, those who leave
their stable dressing exposed to such
conditions do not fully realize the loss
they are suffering, for it seems hardly
credible that anyone would be so ex-
travagantly wasteful if he realized
the truth about the matter. have in
mind now one farm where for sixty
years or more the dressing of from ten
to twenty head of stock has been thus
thrown out under the gutterless caves,
and after every heavy rain during all
that time thick brown stream has
run down from the barnyard and
coursed along through ravine till it
emptied into a river. Fully one-half
of the value of all the dressing made
on that farm for sixty years has thus
run down into the ocean. AS matter
of fact, presume that much more
than half of the value has been lost,
for on this same farm the liquid por-
ton of the manure go per cent at

allowed to run down through the
''tie-up" floor, instead of being saved
by tight manure gutter and the use

many of our farms run OUT and so

There is little enough stable dressing
made on any place, and when this is
Ieached of from so to rs per cent. of it's
fertilizing qualities, it is small wonder
that the crops are meager and that
one crop seems to use up nearly all the
dressing put upon the land, leaving
little for subsequent crops of grain or
grass.
Some barns have manure cells where
all the dressing made, including the
liquid portion, can be saved; but such
barns are the exception and not the
rule. Barnyards entirely covered by
one or more roofs are excellent where
they can be afforded, but it is useless
to urge the great body of farmers to
roof over their entire yards for the
protection of both stock and manure.

Jack Tar is VIGOROUSLY as brave as a
lion. Strangely enough, he is at the same
time, perhaps, the most superititious
creature under the sun. In the month
Of June, four years ago, vessel was
launched from a shipbuilding yard on
the Tyne, built to the order of a Liver
pool shipping firm. A finer craft for
her tonnage never cut the water, and
she was named after the senior part
ner's second daughter. She was lost
on her first voyage to the West Indies,
the captain, second mate and eight of
the crew losing their lives. She was
quickly replaced by an exactly similar
vessel. receiving the same name as the
former one. What became of this ship
is mystery. She never arrived at her
destination on her fourth voyage out,
and was eventually given up for lost,
with all hands. When a third vessel
bearing the same was launched Jack
regarded her with an evil eye, and re-
fused to sail in her. She had to be re-
Christened before her owners could get
crew.
One OF the finest cargo vessels sailing
between London and the west coast of
Africa had, five years back, attained
quite phenomenal record as a death
ship from the number of men lost by
disease and accident upon each voyage.
At length, so serious an obstacle did
her history present in getting men to
join her that her name was altered.
Under her new one, too, she is rapidly
becoming known as ship to be
avoided. That the strange mishaps
which befall her helpless crew are not
the fault of those in command is
proved from the fact that she had no
fewer than four chief officers in nine
years. She will in all probability have
soon to be renamed again. London

The selection Of rertlilrers.

Many farmers who use fertilizers
content themselves by procuring phos-
pilates. While the phosphates are ex-
eellent, yet they do not give the best
results when used alone. Fertilizers
should also contain nitrogen and pot
ash, the proportions varying according
to the demands of the soil. Land that
has produced a crop of clover, and the
sod turned under, will produce good
crops if phosphate and potash are used,
as the clover roots supply the needed
nitrogen. No formula for fertilizer
can be given for all soils. Farmers can
only learn what their soils require by
experimenting t. some extent
