ApDEyam@ Manure
 Ihe two mistakes most freduenfly met with in spreading manure are thas the applications are too heavy and 1t ta not pulverized finely enough. says q Kentucky farmer in American Agricui- farist. I have seen many loada thrown out on the ground in large chunks, some the size of a man's head and from three to i've feet apart I cannot imagine worse way. Manure should be pulverized and applied evenly. The amount to be used will depend on the kind of soil, the crop to be raised and the. quality of the fertilizer. Clay soils. for instance, will retain the strength of the manure for several ears, willie 3 sandy soil will lose all the benedr in one year. Therefore on sandy soils ' nse manure sparingIy. On corn land, with the right kind of soil there is no danger of too heavy applications, but on small grain a heavy coating will of- ten cause 1t to fall. When sowing grass seed on grain land I SOW before the manure is spread. In this way, [ am sure of good stand of grass.

New York. Feb. ga crowd numbering
nearly hundred persons waiting for cars

heard last night shrill feminine voice
scream
I've caught you at last. I've fol-
lowed you all the way from Trenton and
here you are with my husband. Take
that, and that, and that!'
Then an umbrella went up in the air
and the noise heard when a heavy hand
slaps a face could be heard half dozen
times.
Those nearest the speaking woman
crowded toward her and found her 20 be
a woman of middle age. with dark hair
and we'll dressed. Her fists were belabor-
ing a much younger woman, who was wei!
dressed, and who was trying desperately
TO save her face from the onslaught OF
the other woman.
When the trouble began a man with
whiskers had been with the younger wom-
an. He tried for about 30 seconds TO
stop the talk and the fists of the other
woman, and seeing that to he impossible
he mingled with the crowd and disap-
peared. The younger woman tried 10 fol-
low, but she could not, and the injured
wife kept behind her as she went up
George street toward Church street all the
way beating a tattoo with her umbrella.
The attacked woman finally got away
by jumping aboard a South Amboy car,
although she probably meant to take
Trenton car. which stood at the station.
She repeatedly declared she was innocent
Of having been with another woman's hus-
band and did not deserve the beating.
The wife declared 20 the crowd that she
had been compelled TO miss the train she
meant 10 take back 10 Trenton. bnt she
had had the satisfaction by waiting of
catching her husband with that Siren"
