OUR FARMERS.
LOSS FROM BURNING GREEN
WOOD.

Probably some Of our readers burn
wood and haven't got supply on
hand dry for the winter. It has been
we'll said that rich man can afford to
burn green wood, but poor man
could not This is scientifically cor
rect, for a poor man loses money
when he burns green wood. Practical
Farmer says:
':Freshly cut green wood will dry
out while seasoning about one third
Of its weight. Many a farmer when
be draws this green wood to the house
during the winter season draws some
20, 900 pounds of water. He handles
all that 20, 900 pounds into the sled or
wagon and out again. And then he.
Or the boys, and [ am afraid some
times it is his wife, has to carry $1,000
pounds of water into the house in their
arms, and the women have to pick up
10000 pounds Of water and put 1t in
the stove. And their troubles and the
loss have not stopped then, either.
No, unless one keeps up hot fire all
the time, with full stove, this green
wood will sizzle and fry, and the fire
get low and perhaps go out entirely,
enough to ruin the patience Of the
best woman that ever lived. Yes, [
have seen it many time, when boy,
and so did my wife at home, but never
since she married me. But let US go
Of Of
wood absorbs and wastes as much
heat in evapOrating this water that is
in the wood as it would take to heat
about $50 gallons from freezing cold
to the boiling point. just think Of
that! You and your family are hand
ling tons and tons of water, over and
over, unnecessarily and your team
draws it, then you waste much wood
to evaporate it in the stove, instead
of letting sun and wind do it outdoors,
and worse than all, it is a perpetual
torment to everybody who has any
thing to do with the fire. And why
all this? Simply because you fail to
cut your wood one year ahead, so it /
can dry out before you need to burn
it. For pity sake don't be SO unwise |
all around any longer. Let out link
and cut enough, if you bave been in
the habit of burning green wood, to
burn this winter and next, and then !
never go back to the old wasteful,
troublesome way. If you think the /
dry wood burns out too fast, get a
good stove, there are plenty now, and
perhaps put damper in the pipe.

LASTING EFFECTS
OE BARNARD MANURE.

| A correspondent Of s}TdUdce'S Farmer
| inquired in regard to the lasting effect
of manure put on hilly clay land and
whether it would be noticeable five
years. The reply in substance stated
that upon land of this character one
would expect to get the full benefit
Of barnyard manure i'll less than five
years. It has been customary in pre-
viOus years to value the manure by
the amount ofpotash, phosphoric acid
and nitrogen it contains. This, how
ever, we think, is a mistake. It is
only in recent years that even the
scientist have recognized the great
value of humus or partially decom-
posed vegetable matter in the soil.
Under many conditions we should re-
gard the humus value as equal to the
value of the mineral elements, and
where land has been exhausted by
frequent grain crops without grass
rotation we should place it even high
er. It is only through the presence
of humus that plants can utilize fully
the essential elements of fertility, and
we can conceive of circumstances
were manure from straw Or cattle fed
on hay without any grain would ac
tually do more to improve the soil
than manure from grain fed cattle,
while under other conditions the re-
verse would be true. 1t cannot be too
frequently pointed out to the farmer
that the Almighty in his wisdom locks
up the elements of fertility for future
generations whenever he by continu-
Gus grain growing without manure
exhausts the humus in his soil. When
he comes to his sense and begins to
apply manure, he may expect it to
continue to bless him for five years
to come unless he, in the language of
the psalmist, 'sturns again to foolish
ness" by growing grain without a
clover rotation.

1t is certain a congratnlatory fact
that majority of the human family
are born with unimpaired eyesight,
says the Ne,O York Tribune This re-
mains so in such cases until the age OF
about 40, when the sight becomes de-
fective from natural causes. Con.
genital defects such as persons are
born with are nearsightedness, far
sightedness and condition or irregu-
larity in the curvature of the front
part Of the eye which makes one me-
r1dian perfect and its opposite angle
imperfect, rendering glasses neces-
sary. Another condition, too, requir-
ing glasses is a weakness of the ciliarv
process muscles, which seem to give
out when the eyes are used for any
consecutive purpose, such as reading,
writing OF any other work. The let
ters or obj ects looked at in this case
become blurred, wavering or indis-
tinct, apparently running together in
one black line, continued use Of the
eyes without relief ca using inhamma-
ton of the thin membrane covering
the eyeballs or lids. When this con-
dition of weakness is properly over
come or relieved by glasses, these can
eventually be dispensed with. In no
other instance, however, can glasses
be placed aside when once put in use,
for the other defects are Informative
and remain such.
