FINE LIQUID MANURE.
An English Journal Tells How to Pre-
pare and Care for IL and How
to Use II.

The following directions for prepar-
ing a liquid manure are given by the
Gardeners Chronicle: Put into "A 40
gallon tank or cistern two bushels of
fresh horse dung; stir it well about,
and leave it to clear; and in about a
week add one peck of fresh SCOT in
closed in canvas bag, squeeze this a
little every third day, so as TO make
its contents eXude. Let the mixture
get clear, and then use, say one quart
TO three gallons of rain or soft water.
This is a good manure for all kinds Of
soft-wooded plants. 1t may be made
stronger by adding chickens or
pigeons dung, at the rate Of half a
peck to the above quantities. II, in
summer time, bubbles generate on the
surface, ii is symptom of fermenta-
ton, and the latter should be stayed,
by the addition of a small quantity 81
white vitrol. OF course, after the cask
has been filled up twice, the contents
should be turned out and fresh lot
made up. Instead of clear water, soap
suds may be used In filling up the cask.

NUMBER AZ.
ADVANTAGES OF CLOVER.
They Are Not Only Very Numerous,
Hut of the Greatest Value in
Several Directions.

One advantage with clover is that II
furnishes two crops in one season. The
first crop is nearly always cut for hay,
while the second growth can be used
for pasturage, plowed under as
green manure, cut for hay or allowed
to mature seed. The clover plant
makes quick growth, and, If the first
crop is cut in good season, will start
up and soon shade the ground and will
furnish considerable feed during the
summer, when it is so often the case
that the pastures fail.
When cut for hay or plowed under
1t should be allowed to make full
growth, and be cut when in full bloom.
Properly cured, it makes one of the
very best foods for the dairy COW dur
ing the winter, as well as for growing
stock of all kinds. Even hogs will be
benefited If given good feed of
clover hay two OF three times week.
When in full bloom it contains the
largest per cent. not only of animal
food, but of plant food also, hence so far
as other conditions will admit the best
results are obtained by plowing un-
der when full growth has been made.
Usually the growing of cloverseed
proves profitable. Occasionally when
there is full crop the price will fall
below that Of profitable production.
4 small yield, running from three to
seven bushels per acre, and costing
from 70 cents to 81 bushel to thrash,
is an expensive crop to grow, and un-
less fair prices are realized will not be
profitable.
In harvesting The heads should all
be left to turn brown before cutting
A self rake is rather the best machine
to cut clover for seed as it leaves 1t
in punches that can be gathered up
readily with fork. 1t is quite an item
to handle the clover as little as posi-
BILE, as ii skaters readily.
If the threshing can be done in good
season the clover can be left as cut un.
til dried out sufficiently to thresh. But
unless you are certain that this can
be done it is best to gather up and
stack the clover as soon as 1t is suf-
ficiently cured. The hulm or straw
makes good feed, equal in value to
wheat or oat straw, while it can hard
ly be exceled for bedding.
In growing wheat the turning under
of a good growth of clover will be
beneficial, as it supplies the elements
of plant food needed by this crop.
For corn or potatoes it is usually
best to allow the clover to die down in
the fall and then,plow under in winter
or early spring.-St. Louis Republic.

REMOVING HONEY.
Dreaded Operation Compara-
lively Pleasant.

Among the recent inventions in bee
keeping there is nothing of more i'm
portance than the little bee escape. 1t
is very simple arrangement, easily
operated and does not cost much. 1t
overcomes to a great extent the la
borious work of brushing bees from
sections or frames in removing either
comb or extracted honey from the
hive.
The escape consists of small tin
hox with two small springs which
nearly come together at the point,
V-shape. The bees pass out between
the springs at the point and cannot
get back. To operate the escape, get
n half-inch board the size of the top
Of the hive; cut a mortise in the cen
ter little longer than the escape and
place the escape in the mortise. The
toard should have a small strip about
one-fourth OF an inch thick nailed
around both sides to form a bee space
between the surplus case and also the
brood chamber.
In using the escape | always lift the
surplus case and put an empty case in
ite place, then put the escape board
between the two cases, putting the
case of honey and bees on top Of the
empty case, and also the escape board.
II the escape is put on the hive in the
evening the bees will be nearly all
down in the empty case by morning.
l propose to put the escape on in the
evening, so the bees will be ready TO
60 to work in the morning. If honey
is coming in in sufficient quantities the
empty case should be filed with sec
tons, so that the bees will lose no
time; remove the case of honey in the
morning, or as soon as the bees are
nearly all out. II the season is over
and the bees are not very active they
will be slower in going out of the case.
I like to get the honey off as soon as
possible, so there will be no danger OF
robbng should there happen to be
hny way for bees to get in. 1t is a
great satisfaction to be able to re.
move sections from the case without
being bothered with great lot OF bees
to brush OFF,. s. Mead, in Ohio

the manly and noble Won Moltke dur
ing the whole of his funeral speech

father" and Bismarck. The former
was undoubtedly very amiable and
estimable old gentleman, devoted to
opera dancers, but there was less in
him to admire than there was in Will
liam's father, Emperor Frederick,
whom he always carefully abstains

without whom neither Bismarck nor

pupils are fogged for offenses against
the rules. "Did you like them ?" was
the next question. Decidedly not"
replied Lytton. "My lord" said the
lady, frigidly, you forget the Birches
are relatives OF mine" "And they cut
me unmercifully," responded the vice
roy, with a laugh. But the lady was
too dense to see the joke. She rose

SENSIBLE PERCHES.
Wlll Take the Place of the Old
Kind Everywhere.

1t is a continual source of surprise
that the poultry fraternity so slowly
adopts the method of hanging perches,
shown in accompanying drawing. The
old style OF fastening perches to wall,
floor or dropping platform is a stand
ing invitation to red mites, which
usually occupy the perches entirely
too much, at best. Perches, walls,
platform, floor, all are accessible to
lice when perches are directly at
tached or supported on trestles or
timbers of any kind. Basing my asser-
tion on actual experience, assert that
II requires several times as much eff
