Well, don't mind if do.
To make long story short, we went
round 156 times and bit-four laps to
the mile, mind-by the time the clock
struck nine. Then the caretaker and
his friends clapped their hands, and of
we went. When we got outside / put
up my feet and rested, and let the ma.

If you fellows are going to throw

Mrs. Notwithstanding engaged to
young Rich? Well, my dear, don't
mind telling you-yes. Avery suitable
match for her, don't you think? We're
all very pleased. How fortunate am
with all my girls SO nicely settled?
Yes; / suppose I ought to think So.
But, between you and me, Fanny, l
don't know that fortunate" is exactly
the word. It's management, my dear,
management! That's what it is.
What do / mean? Well-speaking
between friends, you know-it's the
tandem. If you would only get good
one, you would have both your girls
off your hands in no time. You see,
everybody cycles nowadays, and lots
of young fellows are anxious to try a
tandem, though they mayn't care to
get one just for themselves. So you let
them take your girls out-the right
fellow and the right girl, of course
and the things done. You see, they
can't fall out and ride different ways,
or go off with the wrong person, or any
| foolishness of that sort. They have to
keep together.
But Mary Smith got engaged to
young Thriftless through going on q
tandem? Then her mother ought to
be ashamed of herself. You don't
catch any young Thriftlesses on my

any tendency to become loose. To move
the fence, loosen the lower strand from
the posts. Begin at one end and make a
coil about two feet across. Roll this on
the ground. crossing and recrossing the
strand of wire with the roll, about
every foot of length on the strand.
The barbs will hold it and keep the roll
together. When the roll is as large as is
convenient to handle, cut the wire and
begin again. When replacing fasten
one end to the post where the top wire

TEE USE OF MANURE.
An Important Farm Problem Dis
cassed and Explained from a
Scientific Standpoint.

The manure acts upon tn land in a
/ twofo!d character. forit exerts physic-
/ al action upon the soil as well as a
chemical agency. Under tie former
| agency we find i giving stability %
/ light sandy soils, and making them
more absorbent of moisture. rendering
tenacious clay soils more open and
/ friable in their nature, and thereby adj
hitting the free: passage of the rain
and atmospheric air, as well as promot-
ing the decomposition of these soils.
and thereby rendering the,n more fer

other words, il must not be- much rot
ten. Experience has also proved to him
that in using it for very porous soils.
which need to be compressed rather
than rendered open, the natural tough
ness Of the straw should be entirely
overcome and the dung used 10 a rotten
state.
There are other duties discharged by
dung which may be grouped together
under the term of chemical action.
Here we have powers totally distinct
from the former, for while it devoIves
upon the former agency (the mechanic
all to render the soil adapted for being
traversed by the roots of the growing
crop, the chemical powers supply that
nourishment which is needed for. the
development of the crop. 1t is, there
fore, in their combined action that the
most desirable results become manifest.
Il is, however, worthy Of inquiry
whether or not the use of fresh dung
for stiff land and rotten dung for por-
Gus land is supported and confirmed
by the chemical character Of the dung.
When sh dung is used upon stiff
land. w hud that the decay which then
takes place acts upon the land, and rem
ders the dormant ingredients of the soil
active, and thereby converts matter
which could not nourish a plant into
valuable food fer vegetation. It also
imparts to the soil a beneficial warmth.
which is favorable 10 termination and
vegetable growth.
In addition to this, the absorbent
powers of the soil seize and retain the
products of this fermentation of the
dung. and secure them until required
by the growing plant. In the case of a
sandy soil, the circumstances, as well as
the powers of the soil, are totally diff
ferent. The porous character Of the
soil is decidedly unfavorable to it's pow
ers of retaining manure, and cGuse-
quently we cannot look upon such stills
as safe guardians of manure, and fer
this reason the manure should be added
so as to be Immediately available for
the crop. The manure, consequently,
is more suitable when well rotted, upon
chemical grounds, as well as upon a con
sideration of its mechanical character.
The same principle is applicable to all
the intermediate description OF soil,
modified by the same rule.-Andrew H.
Ward. in American Cultivator.
