Handling Manure in the Winter.
BY j. W. NEWTON

BY j. W. NEWTON.
Many farmers draw and spread their
manure in the winter. Some draw and
pile up in large piles, which are
shoveled back into the cart and spread
on the land in the spring. For many
years it has been my practice to draw
nearly all of the manure on sled in
the winter, and spread it upon the
plowed ground. Ii is the best way for
me because do my work without hired
the hurry of spring work. Then my land
is wet and very soft in the spring, and
drawing manure on wheels cuts up the
moving badly. Wheels pack the plowed
land, and 80 do the feet of the horses.
All this is avoided by the drawing of
manure on the snow. A point often
overlooked in discussions on manure is
that when it is thrown out of stable
under shed in cold weather it freezes,
and if drawn on 10 the land and spread
before it thaws it suffers no loss. If
COW manure is mixed with horse ma
nure and litter it breaks up quite easily
when frozen.
AS to the loss resulting from spread
ing manure on a side hill or slope in
winter, there are two opinions. SO ex.
cellent an authority as Beal, in Farm
er's Bulletin No. 81, says: "Spread-
ing the manure and allowing it to lie
on the surface should be practiced only
On lev fields where there is no dan
ger shing." Storer goes a step
farther. He says it is easy to object to
the system of spreading manure in the
fall and winter, but that the objection
is simply from the chemists point of
view. And while he cannot give up
the idea that manure spread upon a
frozen hillside must lose much of its
plant food by their being swept down
by rain and melting snow before they
can soak into the soil, yet he acknowl-
edges that the practice is gaining
ground, and explains the fact by attrib-
uting it to there being greater saving
of labor than loss of plant food.
1t is refreshing to turn from the
views of those who are led by the chem
lists theories, and by what they think is
reasonable, to the statements of man
who knows by actual experience what
he is talking about. Professor William
p. Brooks of the Massachusetts, Agri-
cultural College told the farmers of
that state that" believe most fully in
the plan of applying manure to the
fields as fast as made, and in so far as
this course is practicable. 1t is diff
cult to keep it without loss, or in
jury to the health of our stock /
would generally fall-plow the fields to
be MANFRED, and then during the fall
and winter months get out and spread
the manure as made. The experience
and observation of many practical men
has convinced them that this is the best
plan. Under this system the soluble
constituents of the manure are washed
directly into the soil; ammonia is not
formed with such rapidty as to be
driven into the air in any considerable
amount. The manure as it lies upon
the surface does not heat, it can he Id
considerable ammonia, and every rain
or melting snow dissolves and carries
into the soil what has been formed. 1t
is clearly advisable to apply during the

AN AVENUE OF LIVE OAKS.
That Is What Is Suggested For South
Broad Street. Be-

Savannah, Nov. 12.-Editor Morning
News: Now that the city has determined
to pave South Broad street with asphalt,
beautiful avenues in the world, if a sug-
gestion of the chairman of the street and
park commission, stated some time since
in your paper is only carried out; that Is,
to plant live oak trees along the grass
plat and convert it into live oak avenue
These trees can be set out this winter be-
tween the trees now growing, which can be
removed when the other trees mature, and
in the course of time a grand vista will
result, which will not be surpassed any
where and will rebound to the lasting
credit of the commissioners. The live oak
is tree of slow growth but attains a
sufficient size in a few decades, and will
then last indefinitely. If properly trained
and cared for it is capable of producing
an avenue not to be excelled in the world.
The hardwood of this tree was establish
ed in the late storm; few were seriously
injured, while the water oaks were, in
many instances, leveled, and in all cases
more or less mutilated. The commission
ought to prohibit the planting of water
oaks in the city; their rapid growth has
encouraged their culture, but they hardly

DowAGER DUCHESS TO WED.
Once Well Known in Georgia and
Florida as Mrs. Blair.
From the Atlanta Journal.

from the Atlanta journal.
London, Nov. 1.-THE Dowager Ouch
ess of Sutherland, well known in America
and especially in Georgia and Florida. I'M
der her first married name of Mrs Blair,
and later, the Duchess, will be married
in this city tomorrow, and the event will
be feature in London society.
New Workers and Floridians particular
ly will remember her visit to the United
States in the company of the Duke of
Sutherland. The duke attracted much at
tention while in the United States on ac-
count of eccentricities of costume and
demeanor, and Mrs. Capt. Blair, as she
was then, naturally shared with him in
the comment that was provoked. The
duke married Mrs. Blair on the death of
his wife, the then Duchess of Sutherland.
He died suddenly in September, 1892.
The dowager duchess had a trying time
after that. Long-buried stories We're then
raked up and she, moreover disputed
the old dukes will with the present duke.
The contest resulted in many unpleasant
experiences, chief among them being her
spending six weeks in Holloway Jail for
contempt Of court, owing to her burning
UP important documentary evidence.
She was, however, treated as first-class
misdemeanant and subsequently compro-
missed matters with the present duke and
his wife. The dowager duchess has since
lived quietly but has never obtained much
popularity.
The man to whom she is to be married
IS Sir Albert Kaye Rollit, conservative
member of parliament for the South Isling-
ton division of London, who, owing to his
| progressive instincts, often finds himself
at variance with his party He is a mem
Der of a leading Yorkshire family, and is
of middle age and smart appearance, set
off. by military moustache. He is chief
partner of a leading firm of lawyers OF
London, that is possessed of a lucrative
| and high-class practice. He is also presi-
dent of the Associated Chambers of Com
meree. The marriage will take place here
tomorrow, and 1t is a curious coincidence
that the only child of the prospective bride
groom was married in the metropolis the
other day to Capt. Ellison Of the Second
| Life Guards.
