Tho question whether it pays to
compost manure rather than to haul it
as fast as made directly upon the field
where it is to be used must always de-
pend on circumstances. American Gull
tiraror expresses tho following views on
the subject:
On the farm it 10 counted good prac-
tice to haul out the manure as top dress
ing for clover grass or for grain that is
to be seeded with clever in the spring.
There is little or thing of value washed
away from mangre on land seeded with
grass or clover. The roots tlke it up
whenever tho grass orclover is growing,
and by being drawn cut carly the rains
carry it down AID MI; il more thor
oughly with the soil. When warm
weather comes, tho manure ferments,
warming the soil AID developing am
monia. But the market gardener almost
invariably COMPOSE manure before u.s.
ing it. The gardener Las only naked soil
on which to apply unlermonted manure.
When heavy rains come, some Of this
manure will b. leacLed away and lost.
Scattered in the soil, the manure does
not begin to fermcnt until too late in
tho season TO do much good to garden
crops. In fact, If IL only begins to fer
ment in midsummer. the coarse manure
may only dry the soil aud do harm
rather than good.
Wherever farmers want to give an
early start in vegetation they should
compost the manure 1t can be rotted
down long before the weather is warm
enough for anything to grow, and then
be applied in time for spring rains to
wash the manure into the soil. For
grain crops that are seeded with clover
composted manure will pay if applied
late in winter. The composted manure
can be spread so much more evenly that
its smaller bulk will cover a larger sur
face and do more good than the same
manure as it is drawn from the stable
and unfermented.

A certain amount OF fat,

your digestion Is bad, and YOU
don't get it from ordinary fat

The Temple of Diana.

The most noted fire which involved the
burning of single edifice was the de-
struction of the great temple of Diana at
Ephesus in b. G. $3.50 on the night Alex
ander the Great was born. The fire was
kindled by Herostratus, who, when appre-
hended, confessed that his only desire was
to transmit his name to further ages. He
was put to death with exquisite and pro-
longed tortures, and the Ephesian senate
commanded that, on pain of death, his
name should never be pronounced, hoping
thus to disappoint his expectation.

The Forcing House.

To DO successful with forcing, strict
attention must be paid to both night
and day temperatures. The main point
is to keep clean, healthy and vigorous
growth, but avoid soft growth if pos
sible. The best means to that end is to
give air eli every available opportunity.
1t is the life CT plants. providing the
temperature does not drop below the
proper mark. Plants with good leathery
foliage are not subjected to disease, &C.
cording to American Gardening, which
suggests for beans a night temperature
of 55 degrees, with rise of 10 degrees
by day.
Tomatoes should be closely watched
and never allowed to get a check, as in
the starting of the vines lies ultimate
success or failure.

AFTER LONG MONTHS.


After long months we meet again
Among the nodding daffodils;
The light lies low along the plain,
And over all the purple hills;
The merry thrush sings out the day
With bursts of Maytlmc madrigals.
And from the freshly-budded spray,
Through opening leaves, the chiff-chaft
calls.
How different all when last we met
In dim fields dashed with autumn rain,
And watched .he last late swallow set
His wings towards the south again!
Long time we strove with voices low,
And allen lips, light words to speak,
And was II rain that trembled so
From those long lashes down your check
We parted, as the mists grew down,
The gray mists, gathering fold on fold,
And, through the dusk, the little town
Glimmered far off, with sparks Of gold
We watched the lamps wake one by one,
Gold stars beneath the starless sky,
And hand touched hand, and all was done
'Twixt hearts too full to say good-by.
And now spring stands, with sunny smile
Over the dead months cold and gray;
I think we've dreamed weary while
And wakened to the perfect day
With wintH's snow and autumn's rain
The days of lonely life are Ger;
Forget the parting and the pain
Since our two hearts have met once more
