One Editor Saved.

An Exchange says: ''There is
one editor in heaven, but the
Lord only knows how he got
there, though it is supposed he
rode in on the hog or got a pass.
when st. Peter found him he
proceeded to take steps to turn
him out, as he refused to go unless
they showed him their papers, Che
having once lived in Missouri
They hunted all through heaven
for n lawyer to make out eject
ment papers and a sheriff to serve
them and, meeting with neither the
editor of course held the fort and
is there Til the present time"

depositOrs until these become large
enough for permanent investment in
land, buildings, other securities This
description accurately defines the func-
ton of the manure heap. 1t is place
where the daily voidings of the live stock
of the farmer are accumulated until they
become large enough to be applied with
effect on the land for it's permanent i'm

the manurial products of their stock.
