BARNARD Manure.

Conclusions reached by a German au-
thority are that the manure pile must
be carefully constructed and protected
from extremes Of moisture and sun
shine. 1t should be kept moist, but not
wet. 1t is we'll to turn cattle in upon
it occasionally to tramp it down, and
thus exclude excess of air. When the
heap is completed, it should be covered
with earth. If these precautions are OBJ
served, the use of preservatives may be
dispensed with. The profitableness of
the use of the latter in any case is de
termined by their cost.

ball buried in the wall during the battle.
The Noted Cemetery.
The grave yard where both English and
American officers who fell in the fight are
buried has many curious remains which the
French-Canadian caretaker shows off with
pride. Madame Albanis mother and baby
sister are buried on the Catholic side under
a rough stone from the lake shore, placed
there by the sexton. When a child the
great singer lived in great poverty in
Plattsburg, her father, Prof. La Jeunesse,
being music teacher. She has never been
back. they say. probably because of her
unhappiness while here. She even paid 10
attention to a letter from the sexton, tell
ing of her mothers uncared for grave, and
asking that she should place grave stone
there. Lucretia Davidson, the poetess. has
her burial place there also, a slender white
shaft marking the spot.
The town itself was originally settled by
families of Duchess Comfy and by French
refugees of noble birth, and the present
society, as seen by an outsider. vouches for
the gent:lity of their ancestry. Old houses
surrounded by elm trees are numerous.
The drives into town are taken daily by
the Buffers" as the townspeople call the
