Hnu'irE Manure Ont in Wiutc,


We consider fall and winter the best
time for the application Of manure as it
gives better results Gu the ground intend
cd fer the next corn crop and also on
thc grass fields. We usually winter from
thirty to forty horses, some sheep and
cattle. We haul and scatter the manure
as it is made if the ground is free from
ice and snow, but if this latter condition
exists we haul and pile in small piles
not cconical in shape but lower in center
OF pile to prevent heating. Then Just
as soon as the ice and SNOW has thawed
There will be Ice and frozen ground i
under these piles and the ground
will not be rich as is the case if piled on
unfrozcn ground There is another adj
vantage in hauling the manure when the.
ground is covered with ice and snow and
that is it can be done with the sled and
not injure the soil as it does if hauled
when unfrczen. Then again, hauling
manure in the winter gives employment
to- tho idle horses and the farmer is uSu-
ally not busy at. this, time We take the
precautioh of piling the manure on frozen
ground to prevent was hing away of the
liquid part by heavy rains as is often the
case when the manure is scattered over
the ground. If the manure is intended
for garden, Strawberries or .r;,spberries
VIC pile it so it will heat enough to dc.
stry all weed seeds. There is consider
able manure made after the corn ground
is plcwcd and the grass fields ar" too far
along to have manure spread on them
We pile tlAs: under cover and have an
abun dance Of water to keep the pile wa
tered and settle it by t1amping so it will
lose no fertility by heating BY adding
to this pile what manure is made through,
the summer we have quite pile to be
applied to the wheat ground in the fall

Good and Rad EetS,

so you think that little ecls nre sweet
do your said fish dealer yesterday.
We'll, you're off. 1t isn't the size Of the
eel that governs his taste. 1t is his llabi-
tati0n and way Of life. But most people
think as you do, and throw away the big
eel and cook the little one, and then. II
the little fellow is strong, they think it
is because he wasn't little enough. Moth
ing could be further from the truth. The
eel that inhabits a stream with hard,
clean, sandy bottom is sweet and edible,
be he rs big as your leg or as tiny as
your finger, for this eel finds food scarce,
and he must exercise and keep sober and
hustle-else he will starve--and this act
i've career makes him healthy and whole
some But the eel that lives in the mud,
where provisions are plentiful, is unfit
for the table, for his life is sluggish, his
habits and organs are bad, and his flesh,
when cooked, tastes and smells Of the
muddy element. That is why the Schuyl-
kill eel is worse than carrion for table
purposes, while the eel of the upper Del
aware makes dainty dish. '-Philadel-

An Important Industry.

The Brockton, Mass, Times says that
at the factory, of the W. L. Douglas Shoe
Company, in that city the pay roll for the
week ending Sept. 80, excluding supern-
tendent, foremen, statesmen and all cler-
ical help, showed the average earnings
Of the employees, large and small, to be
$15.54 per week. This was not an ex-
traordinary week. 1t was the customary
pay roll.
The Douglas factory has been closed
but one week this year, and that for the
usual summer stock taking, and it will
be closed but three days the latter part
of December. This would make but nine
days out of the year that the factory is
closed.
Owing to increased business, another
addition is to be made to the Douglas
factory. 1t will be 100 feet long, 40 feet
wide, and five stories high. This addi
ton increases the capacity 25 per cent
