Using Manure as Made.-1f farmer
wants to get the most out of his ma
nure supply with the least work, the
best plan we know of is to haul out
manure as it is made, directly from
the stable to the field. It may go onto
the thin points in the wheat field or
on the. sod land that is to be turned
fo- corn next spring. There is very
little wasted by this practice, and there
is only one handling of the manure.
Sometimes when the manure is spread
on frozen ground, and heavy. rains
come before it is thawed out, there is
some waste by surface water, but with
dre care in this matter, by spreading
manure in level places in the field
while frost is in the ground: there
can't be much waste.-W. w. Stevens

The Great tsAmen" Question,

BY vote of the church members at
Moriah, Carnarvon, a curious dispute
was on Tuesday evening settled. With
the Introduction Of the new hymn and
tune book Of the connection a few
weeks ago, there was also initiated
the practice, which is not very gen
eral in non-conformist places of wor-
ship, of singing the "Amen" at the
conclusion Of each hymn.
Several members Of the congrega-
ton disapproved Of the innovation,
and by way Of protest resumed their
seats at the close of the hymn proper.
Feeling on the matter became so
acute that the pastor decided to take
the voice Of the church on Tuesday
evening, when there was present a
large attendance Of church members.
The result was the defeat Of the sup
porters Of the "Amen'' by an over.
whelming majority.
The voting resulted as follows: In
favor of the Amen" 46; against, Sc

f. Foreign Beet Sugar in .India.-Ac-
F.: cording to official statistics the value
of the beet sugar imported into India
during 1898 was $40, 200, 900. This SUI
gar came principally from Germany,
France, Holland and Belgium. Re-
ports from Calcutta state that there is
a growing agitation against the i'm
portation Of foreign beet sugar. i It Is
feared that the home market win he
destroyed and that many Of the ma
tive population engaged in the: cane
sugar industry will be thrown out Of
employment. The Hindus are trying
to bring religious fanaticism to their
aid by claiming that the foreign sugar
is manufactured by 'unholy'' heathens

When Drains Are Appreciated

lhls spring of all others good drain
age is appreciated. With the ground
soaked with water and hard with frost
tiN late into April, the question OF
quick drainage is important, as we'll
as the capacity of the land to warm
up rapidly. While it is doubtless true
that drained land freezes deeper than
unframed land, yet it is also true that
sueh land dries out quicker and be-
comes warm sooner than undrained
lands On many thousands of un-
drained fields in the West. the farmers
VAL yet have to wait for some time be-
fore they can get onto it to do blowing
or other kinds of farm work. These
days OF waiting are Of immense con-
sequence to the coming crops. A late
ness OF two or three weeks often means
TIE loss of large part of the crop.
The men with we'll drained fields will
be able to get their crops into the
ground quite early, even this season.
In the case Of gardens the green stuff
will be coming along weeks before
that OF their neighbors. Where this is
I'd find market in the towns or cities
itEwill catch the best market. We be-
lieve that the experience of this year
will greatly stimulate the work OF
placing proper systems of drainage on
the farms.
What we have said Of the garden is
true in lesser sense of the large fields
and pastures. In England the wheat
fields are tile drained, and it is re-
ported that the increase in the yield OF
wheat has been sufficient to pay. the
cost Of drainage in a few years. Many
low pieces of land, now: annually over
flowed and productive of only the
coarser grasses, might, If properly
treated, become the most productive Of
meadows, growing the finest kinds OF
plant food for stock. In the pasture
the drain is an increaser of the sod.
1t is very necessary that the pasture
land become dry and warm at a very
early date in the spring, so that the
grass will get good start before the
stock are turned onto it. Good drain
age will often greatly increase the
start the grass gets of the cattle, and
this increase is kept throughout the
summer, more so on this kind of land
than on land left in it's natural state
On the cold, wet pastures this spring
the grass will be very slow in start
ing. The stock will go on while the
sod Is still thin, and the feet of the
animals will pound much of it into
mud, thus destroying the sod for. years
to come. Water makes this possible.
Dry soil resists the foot, and the sod
is saved. Money judiciously invested
in tile and labor for drainage is we'll
placed and will return annual interest
at a good per cent.

GOV. GAMBLERS APPEAL.

Governor Gambler makes strong
appeal to the people of Georgia oc be-
halt ct law and order. It is high time
that something should be done to turn
the tide of crime.
If Georgia continues at her preset
rate Of lynching bee culsure she will
easily distance all competitors in the
business and further establish her
elaine to Industrial pre-emiuence. Un-
fortunately the ly1ohing bee is all sting
aud 90 honey.
We are not casting stones at our
peiebbor in self.righteous spirit, for
the record Of South Carolina is not one
that We regard with pride-not by any
means-nor is the record closed.
The south has had enough of this
thing to make thoughtful men shudder
when they contemplate It's effect on the
white mans civilization.
So far as concerns the victims of
mob violence, grant that they. in every
instance. are guilty brutes who at last
escape with punishment altogether too
light for their atrocious crimes. Graot
that without reservation and the main
question remains untouched. Think of
how i. lesseas respect for law, of all

every man takes vengeance into bis

do when bloedsbed, anarchy, turmoil,
hell Itself spreads over the land and
like bosom OF distinctions takes away

hope of prosperity !?
These are strong words. but tell
truly the direction 10 which moves the
mopster this lyucbiug evil is producing.
We are sowing to the wiad and will
reap the whirl wind. The white man
is putting on himself burden he will

THE PORTO RICAN
Commission Have Caused q Kick In
Porto Rico.

The Insular Commission, of which
Gen. Kennedy is President, has at least
caused vigorous kick by its recon-
mendations in Porto Rico.
The following dispatch gives the
particulars:
San Juan, Porto Rico, April 49,
Before leaving Porto Rico the insular
commissioners sent communication to
the governor general, General Henry,
requesting that no money should be
given to municipalities for sewage,
waterworks, or other improvements.
The commissioners also desire him to
suspend the collection of all taxes, and
abstain from special judiciary reforms
until this report had been filed. This
has caused feeling of general dissatis-
faction among Porto Ricians, who say
they will appeal to Washington against
what they call ''unjust treatment and
unsatisfactory regulations"
The commission, before leaving San
Suan, called upon General Henry, the
Governor of the island, for his views,
and his views as expressed to them
were as follows:
'sMy plan is Numerically opposed to
yours. I believe in educating the peo'
pie generally, and do not believe il
thrusting Americans into all the Off
ces. I believe in colonizing. I have
been here nearly year and the com
mission only few weeks"

NOT GOING TO MANILA.

The report that Gen. Kennedy has
gone to the Philippines, was without
any ground. 1t grew out of very
superficial reading of dispatch from
San Juan, which stated that Gen.
Kennedy had left San Juan on vessel
with Col. Fred Grant who has been
ordered to the Philippines, and large
number of persons, who are to be
mustered out of the U. s. service.
Soldiers who are to be mustered out,
are not sent to the Philippines to be
m ustered out. Col. Grant was simply
coming to the United States, to take
steamer for Manila.
