rlanure Spreading.

Mr.. Samuel Hambleton is agent
for the New American Manure
Spreader. Last week he gave al
exhibition of the machine on the
farm of Mr.. G. G. Hopkins, which
was witnessed by several prominent
farmers. Manure spreaders are
not new invention, but have been
in use among the more advanced
farmers for number of years, but
have never attained the favor they
deserve. Euery farmer should
number among his farm machinery
a manure spreader, and use it in
applying his stable manure to the
farm in the most scientific manner,
which is always as top dressing
Stable manure spread and imme-
diately turned under is a waste or
loss of half its manural value.
Manure spread on the sod of a
pasture field and allowed to remain
undisturbed for one year, and then
turn the sod under, is probably the
very best and most economical
method of improving land. The
largest corn crop can be produced
from land thus treated. The sec
ond best way of using stable manure
is to top-dress the wheat field in
the fall or spring. Such application
is the surest method of securing IA
'catch" of grass, and an even and
strong growth of the gi> IS seed.
Such top dressing cannot be prop
erly done except by the use of a
manure spreader. The teeth of the
machine tear to fine bits all of the
coarse stalks and Jumps and scat
ter the manure thin and evenly
over the surface, so as not to
smother or interfere with the
growth of the tender plants. Every
farmer who possesses neatness,
painstaking ECONOMY in his
methods of farming should use a
manure spreader. A slovenly,
rough, careless farmer has no bus
mess with a spreader, or in fact any
but the toughest and behind the
times implements.

The Farm Journal is unlike any
other paper; for one thing it prints
no quack medical advertisements;
for another it takes tive-year sub
scriptions and gets the paper to its
subscribers the full time if they are
anywhere on this planet, even il
they move two or three times; il
they die their heirs get it. Now
we are going to send the Farm
Journal for the balance of 1899 and
all of 1900, 1901, 1902 and 1903,
nearly five years, to every advance
paying subscriber to the MIDLAND
JOURNAL, but better speak quick,
as we have only limited number
of Farm Journals to offer on these
terms.

shall claim the usual token,
Some Cecil flowers gay,
Through thy tender love unbroken,
For the glorious first of May.
The morn our thoughts have taken
To flowers, to trees in bloom,
The radiant sun awakened,
The rivulet in tune.
Turn thou to the sacred place,
ROBBED in Springs rich array,
Where nature beautifully graced
My childhood first of May.
Weare hopefully abiding
In mystery that pass
Our dear Redeemer hiding
May soothe each care at last
Avoid the goomy seeming,
And send line today;
Springs glorious sun is beaming-
Then hail the first of May.
The veil we cannot sever
Holding our destiny
Then praise the kindly giver
Who calm'd the troubled sea.
Thine may be the untold glory,
Should the ysil be drawn away;
May we live to sing loves story
Many II blooming May,
Life is sweet, happy dawning
Opens TO Inc each day;
Commune with me this morning,
Greeting this first of Nav
Oh, would be delighted
To hear thy voice today,
Tho rude brick walls have blighted
The mantle of sweet May.
We may look beyond the mountain
Wild flowers bloom fresh and gay
Drink from the crystal fountain,
And thou be queen of May.
Let lis fancy we are going
To the grand Old hills today,
Where the meadow banks are flowing
With waters Of sweet May.
Where the summer sun is shining
On the mantle proud and gay,
And we, yes ace, reclining
Where the sweetest breath of May
Softly whispers, home shall never,
Never pass rom thee away;
The dear Old spot shall ever
Be with thee In life's May.
