ed to place manure in the hills,
but where that has been tried in
this latitude, it will not do, unless
it has been previously composted
as the heat generated from unrotted
manure during decomposition dries
and burns up the crop. If you
have no compost, it is much better
to spread the manure on top of the
ground after each planting, and
that mode Of culture will aid in
keeping the GROUND moist from one
watering to another, and furnish
the necessary fertility required.
All kinds Of garden truck would
do much better if a coat of manure
was spread over the ground after
the seed are planted; but, of course
some kinds require thinner coat

ment is required under all circum-

Where wheat has been sown on
poor land, if a fair coat of manure
is spread over the ground after the
wheat has come up, a much larger
yield will be realized, than there
will il no manure is applied. In

Nor is it enough to simply put

that as heretofore the expenses of

these burdens will, under state

become due next fall howl will
be set up through the length and

ton that our burdens will be in

years, at least, will be heavier, is
a correct one. This no one can

Hon. Daniel F. Beatty, of Washing
ton, New Jersey, the great Organ
and Piano manufacturer, is building
more Organs and Pianos than ever.
In 1870 Mr.. Beatty left home a pen
niless pillow boy, and by his indOmit-
able will he has worked his way up
so as to sell SO far, nearly $1,000 OF
Beatty's Organs and Pianos since
1870. Nothing seems to dishearten
him; obstacles laid in his way, that
would have wrecked an ordinary man
forever, he turns to an advertisement
and comes out of it brighter than
ever. His instruments, as is we'll
known, are very popular and are to
be found in all parts of the world.
We are informed sthat during the
next ten years he intends to sell 200, :
900 more of his make; that means a
business CT s2O, ,OOO, 900, if we average
them at 500 each. 1t is already the
