MANURE RxpBRRHck.
An Ola aAa Universally Aeeeptel
Theory Assaiiex ~ . sseeess-

There IL quite good deal in thu
agricultural papers about handling
manure, and when and how to apply It.
I have been q farmer good many
years and have practiced drawing map
nure from the stable a. fast as It Il
made through the winter until the
ground broke up In the spring. What
was made after that lay III heaps in
the yard until fall, and then was
hauled on to the next years corn
ground and spread as it was drawn.
Some writer's claim that manure ex-
posed to the sun and rain will lose a
large portion OF its value II left in that
condition any length Of time. Now ]
am going to dispute lie truth of their
theory, but II any Of those writer's will
take the trouble to visit me next sum.
mer will take them to my corn field
and they can see for themselves the diff
ference between the winter and fall
drawn in the growing corn. And ]
have another palmer proof, il possible,
that manure will not lose its strength

When came on the farm now own
A years ago it had been worked ON
shares for number of years. The man
had kept no stock, except team and
a COW or two on the place. He did hi.
threshing and threw the straw out OF
the barn without stacking it, and thi,
he did year after year. When came to
the place there was big pile of straw

posed to all sorts of weather, and II
looked as II there were no strength in
it, and did not think there was, but
we wanted it away from the barn, and
we drew it on piece Of ground that we
had moved, which did not yield 30t
pounds of hay to the acre. When we
| went to work at the stuff it was all
dried in chunks as big as ones hat
and We couldn't get 1t to pieces. but did
the best we could. 1t didn't make any
difference, as we thought 1t was OF nc
account, but we drew 1t all out and put
on the the above named piece oi
ground. This was in the fall. and now
for the result. The next spring wher
the ground settled and the grass begar
to grow we began to see the effect Of
the old dried-up straw, and when W,
moved it We found gross as big as could
stand and as thick as hairs on a dog

Trial of McGiffert.

New York Oct. 30.--Failure has met
the effort of the committee appointed by
the New York Presbyterian synod to in
duce Prof. Arthur G. McGiffert, of Union
seminary. quietly to resign from the
Presbyterian ministry. At the final
meeting of the committee it was decided
so to report to the Presbytery at it's next
meeting on Nov. 49, The opinion in
Presbyterian circles is general that with
the decision of Prof. McGiffert not to
withdraw. the trial of another Union
seminary professor for heresy will be
difficult to avoid. The committee will
report to the presbytery that Prof. Nc
GiffertS views are not in accord with
cardinal doctrines of the church and will
recommend that the Dresbytery refer the
case to the general assembly of next May
for more definite instructions. II is not
certain that the Presbytery will accept
the recOmmen nda tion of its committee to
refer the case back to the general as
Sembly, as it is quite within its power
to order trial of Prof. McGiffert on its
own responsibility. Presbyterian opin-
ion is general, however. that the Presby-
terry proceed at once without fear of criti-
cism to hold a trial.
