Top Dressing Rye to pIow Under.


The plan Of top dressing rye with
manure is good one, providing the
manure can be spread. The rye will
be benefited by the manure as mulch
as we'll as by it's fertilizing properties.
There will still be considerable virtue
left in the manure for the corn crop
that is to follow. The amount OF the
same will be in proportion to the rain
fall and to the condition of the manure
when it was applied. The more rain
and the finer the manure when applied
the more will its enriching properties
be worked down into the soil. But
spreading the manure on the rye, and
when it grows up in the spring ploW-
ing under both manure and rye the
influence on the corn would be very
beneficial The aim in applying ma
nure in our climate should be to make
it act as a mulch as we'll as a fertilizer.

Beauty as Well as Profit think
many people fail to obtain pleasure in
cultivating their gardens because
they regard their plants only from a
business standpoint, and do not appre.
ciate them as objects of beauty. AS
long as it costs but little, let US cult
vate the love for the beautiful, or the
aesthetic side of our nature. While
perhaps the most of us must work ou1
farms and gardens for the pecuniary
profit, yet we may often, when plart-
ing for profit, so plan that it will be
ornamental in appearance. We shall
get more enjoyment from our work,
and our life will be better for having
cultivated a taste for the beautiful and
attractive in nature.-Michigan Farm

The history Of Lincoln's postmasteFship in
Illinois is given. as is also that of Benja-
min Franklins in Philadelphia. The de-
preston OF business during the civil war is
as clearly reflected in records of the Post
Office Department as the prosperous condi-
tion of the country at other times. The
records are also said TO be invaluable as a
means OF tracing ancestral lineags- Many
men who afterward became prominent in
the Governmental affairs of the United
States were at one time connected with its
postal service. The early struggles for ad-
vancement of these men are shown in tie
records as well as many traits Of character
which they were afterward not known to
have possessed
A prominent official Of the department
said to 4 Times reporter today that the
most interesting part of the records was
what they revealed concerning the history
of the country during the closing yesrs Of
the last century. He said that il was hardly
conceivable that now the expeditures Of the
Government amounted 10 millions of dol
lars annually in the mail service while only
a century ago the amount expended was
only as many thousands.

THE INSULAR MARKETS.
An Estimate of the Demand TO
American Products.

American Products.
One hundred million dollars year ap-
pears TO be the present market offerd to
the people of the United States by Cuba,
Porto Rico. Hawaii, and the Philippines,
provided this country is able TO supply the
products. This estimate is based upon their
actual consumption in years Of normal con-
ditions.
How rapidly this will increase remains
to be seen, but if the experience Of the past
year in Hawaii is an indication of what
will happen elsewhere, the increase must
be very rapid. The exports from the Uni
ted States to Hawaii in the ten months Of
1859. whose record is now complete, are
more than double those of the correspond
ing months of 1897 and nearly double those
of the corresponding months of 1898. while
TO Cuba they promise to exceed in 1899
those of any preceding year, even surpass-
ing the record of 1893. when the exports to
that island were double the average CT
earlier years.
More than one-half OF the supplies which
received from other parts of the world in
former years have been furnished them by
Spain. and this fact has led to the prepare
ton by the Treasury Bureau of Statistics
of a series of tables showing the expOr;a-
tion of principal articles from Spain TO
each of these islands in 1896. the lates.
year in which commercial conditions in
these islands were at all normal.
