An early and heavy snowfall, while
tending to diminish natural losses of
plant food, is apt to favor artificial
losses. Ii is apt to deter the farmer
from hauling out his manure supply.
Too many farmers hold TO the mis-
taken notion that spreading manure
upon the snow is wasteful practice,
that much of its value is lost by
teaching and by running off of the
surface in the spring. They point to
darkened SHOWS, to discolored waters
and to greener meadows at the base
OF the hillsides as proof Of these losses.
1t is probably true that some loss
occurs in this way, but it is less than
is usually supposed. Those who are
frightened by this, however, should
study the barn losses, should know
that, as ordinarily kept, manure
deteriorates more in the barn cellar
or in the manure heap than IL does in
the field; that it is better for manure
to leach on the soil it is meant to
fertilize than in proximity to the
barn and the family well; that it will
ferment less outdoors than il will
indoors; that, in short, experiment
and experience alike show that the
housing of manure in the winter for
spring hauling is seldom better and
generally worse than spreading it
upon the snow as fast it is made.
Some will be lost If spr ad; more,
however, will be lost if kept at the
barn; and the springs work will be
just so much further behind.
Experiment station bulletins preach
this doctrine, institute speakers pro-
pound it, and farmers are yearly
practicing it more extensively. 1t is
the modern notion, and the right one.
The winter manuring of the steep
sidehiIl may not be advisable; but
moderate slopes or Level pieces of not
too leachy land may be safely |
fertilized any day in the year except |
Sundays Experiment Station Bulle-

SUSPECTED MURDER.
Charles Manning of Eden Evidently a
Victim of Foul Play.

The authorities Of Eden are inves-
tigating what is believed to be an
attempt at murder.
On Monday Of last week, Charles
Manning OF Eden went to Morris
vile and traded horses, coming home
at evening somewhat under the
influence of liquor. He went to a
neighbours, Wyatt Hulburd's, where
his twelve-year-old boy was staying
and got the boy to go home with him.
The boy can tell no connected story
Of what happened and has given
several different versions Of the affair.
lie claims that his father was splitting
wood near the stove and that the axe
hit him on the head over one eye.
The boy went to Mr.. Hulburd's for
help and when they returned
they found Manning with his
head crushed. on the floor. Mr..
Hulhurd told the boy his father
would be all right and leaving Mr..
Manning on the floor took the boy
home with him. The Manning boy
went home in the morning and found
that his father had crawled on to the
bed.
Several physicians visited Mr.
Manning on Wednesday. They
removed nineteen pieces of bone from
his skull, one Of which was nearly as
large as silver dollar. The victim
is still unconscious and the doctors
say there is little chance for his
recovery. The failure Of those who
knew of Manning's condition TO
notify others and the conflicting
stories told leave little doubt Of foul
play on the part OF some one.

Miss Almira Foster, daughter OF

Equal TO the Occasion,

People do not often make the mis-
take of giving too much. A certain
woman who not long ago entered n
Glasgow church was an exception TO
the. rule-at least she thought so. She
passed the collection box at the door
and dropped In sixpence. Then she
took her seat in the church and waited
until the preacher appeared.
To her disappointment the o2iciat-
ing minister was not the DR.. ii. whom
she had come 10 hear. On inquiry she
found that she had entered the wrong
church. 1t was not yet too late to hear
the preacher of her choice. but the six
pence was another matter. To leave
1t in the box would be clear loss. The
woman was equal to the occasion.
Slowly descending the gallery stairs
she requested her sixpence back and
received it from the officiating elder

NEW WORKS. EAST SIDE.
On Festive Occasions II Arrays Itself
In Hired Finery.

The east side achieves gentility on
great occasions. albeit somewhat un-
shaven and slipshod between whlles.
From its own standpoint 1t does not
spare expense. What II cannot buy II
hires. The possibilities of renting the
set pieces and habiliments of fashion
have been thoroughly exploited east
of the Bowery. There Is none of that
pride OF exclusive possession that oh
tains along thoroughfares farther west
ward. The swarming population shares
Its joys and sorrows and garments
with impartial hand. Many Of the
brides whose brief finery startles their
old companions on the wedding night
hire their gowns and wells.
The most gorgeous and costly crea-
tions are obtainable for So an evening.
The paraphernalia of mourning may
be rented for n single occasion. Ball
dresses warranted to captivate are for
hire In Division street. Chowder par
ties are equipped throughout for n day
on the sound.
There are dozens of establishments
that drive fiourishlng business loan
ing dress suits for consideration. A
rigid social etiquette prescribes that
the truck driver and small shopkeeper
shall on such formal occasions as balls
and receptions don the clawhammer,
and the downright east slider would
rather be out Of the world than out Of
fashion as he understands II. The
young men who purchase secondhand
the dress suits of business men whom
they accost In Broadway and Wall
street are the scouts of these Turing
establishments. Revamped and press

ond cost in two or three evenings. The
