Much Of the objection to composing
manure comes from the fact that in most
cases it is the repository of great zeal
Of trash that has originally very little
manurial value. The straw Of grain is a
large constituent Of most compost heaps.
The excrement that is mostly free from
straw is deemed rich enough to be drawn
on the land without composing. Yet in
most cases the pure eXcrement can be
composted very slightly with more profit
than tine other In fact, much coarse
straw, slightly stunned with manuI6, is
too poor to pay for handling unless some
richer material is added toi it. The com
post heap is generally deficient in min
eral fertility. If potash and phosphate
were added to We manure pile and then
composted, both would be in much bet
ter condition for plant use than they
will be if applied without the manure.
Some of the manure which is largely
nitrogenOus is needed in every compost
heap. Nitrogen is the most effective ma
nure known, and nitrate Of soda put in
the manure heap will make it rot rapid
ly and greatly add to the effectiveness Of
the fertilizers. American CultiVatOr,

American Cultivator reports that some
injury to stock has occurred in western
New York from overlooking it with
cheap potatoes. Low as potatoes are
their feeding value in any quantity is
still lower. If given too large doses, the
animals will scour and lose rather than
gain. Potatoes should never be fed with
out both hay and some grain or meal to
add to their nutritive value A limited
quantity, say two or three quarts daily,
cut and sprinkled with meal, will be
greedily eaten and will greatly benefit
all kinds of stock "

A writer who assumes to know gives
these directions in The American Agri-
culturist: Hold the saw in position
square across the log, the center Of the
saw directly over the center Of the log.
Stand so that you face the line of the
cut with the handle directly opposite
the center Of your body. Keep as close
and let the saw freely miss your body
and clothing Get the stroke with your
arms and the bend and turn Of your
body. Hold the handle loosely in both
hands, with the outside hand below
Pull the saw straight through the cut
both latterly and perpendicularly. Prac-
tice so you can change sides and draw
either right or left handed. With lit
tie practice this can be done more rapid
ly and easier

One day last summer Thomas Horton
was passing through piece of cleared
land near Binghamton, n. Y, when he
was bitten by q rattlesnake. The reptile
was shedding its skin, and therefore in its
most venomOus condition. The serpent 8
fangs had penetrated the cowhide boot,
and it was easily killed. Horton took off
his boots, and his wife gave them TO Ma
poleon MeekCr, negro who worked on
an adjoining farm. He wore them and
died. Archibald Hooker, nephew Of the
dead man, wore them 4S hours, and he
also died in great agony The boots next
passed into tho possession Of an old trap.

attacked with pain in his leg. His ex.
perience told him it was the result Of rat.

in time and recovered On examining
the boot leg he found a small point Of q
piece Of bone imbedded in the hide, II

such way that on drawing out the foot
the fang, which curved upward, would
not injure it, but on putting the boot OF

The Rev. VIM. P. F. Ferguson, whose pic

by sight to many readers. A young man, he
has still had an extended experience as
foreign missionary, teacher, editor lecturer
and pastor that has given him q wide ac.
quaintance in many parts of the country.
In an interview few days ago he said:

my ankles would not permit me to wear

In England the fight against the use
of birds in trimming ladies' hats is
warmly prosecuted, states Harper's
Weekly. A recent development of it
W,s the exposure of a prevalent de-
ception practiced by many London
milliners, who, finding the prejudice
against egret's plumes SO general as
to be a hinderance to trade, had been
selling these plumes under the name
Ct "brush ospreys," with the assur.
ance that they were artificial and cost
no bird its life. MIST OF these sos
preys," however, Hhen. examined by
naturalists, were pronounced to be
the true egret's plumes, which the
mother bird wears only when she is

Fire Gives Protection From lightning

Fire Gives Protection From lightning.
Science and superstition OCCASION
ally meet on common ground, making
it rash to condemn old customs as
senseless. For instance, there are
many primitive villages abroad where
smoke fires are kindled hastily upon
the approach of q thunderstorm,
doubtless q survival, the antiquarian
would say, OF some heather rite of
Precipitation. On the other hand,
Professor Schuster has recently point
ed out that flame will discharge an
electrified body, and that every fire
or chimney emitting smoke serves as a
lightning conductor for carrying off
the pressure of electricity from a
charged cloud. Some figures prepared
in Schleswig-Holstein for the purpose
of testing this theory show that while
6.3 churches i'll 1000, and S.5 wind
mills, are struck by lightning, only
one factory chimney in 5000 suffers in
the same way, despite their greater
height and more exposed condition.
