bones could be found sticking to the
rollers. The balance of the body had
been ground up with the shale and passed
out into the brick molds.

"A gentleman writes that leaves should
not be burned. "People," he says,
'should know that these leaves have
value as fertilizer. Gather them into
heaps in the back yard and cover them
over with some earth and bye and bye
you will have several dollars worth of the
best fertilizer known for plants. We see
people going to the woods for fertilizer
every spring Another thing about this
question is that the burning of these
leaves is dangerous. Many child has
been burned, and many horse has run
away and done serious damage from be-
ng frightened by them.
