E3WAtEX manure
Poultry manure is one Of the strong
est and most valuable of fertilizers,
and all of It should be taken care OF.
Many make the claim that 1t is best
to spread the manure out on the land
where needed as soon as taken from
he roosting quarters. Others claim it
should be kept for time. However.
if thrown out in pile, as is usually
done with other kinds Of manure, it
soon loses much Of its strength The
Maine experiment station recommends
the following mixture where 1t is nee
essary to keep the manure for a time
before using: MIX thirty pounds Of hen
manure. ten pounds OF sawdust, six

eight pounds Of kainit. Mixed in this
way it win retain its full value for

BIG INFLOW OF MONEY.
Banks Gain Over sig 100000 in
Cash on Weeks Increment.

An enormous amount of money has been re-
ceived in New-York this week the net gain re-
ported by the local banks being over So, 100000.
Actual receipts from out Of town points were
S11.526.3Oo, while the shipments to the interior
from New-York were S10O61, 800, including over
100000 in national bank notes which were
sent to Washington for redemption. The net gain
from the interior was 81 ASS. 500. which. with
receipts Of gold amounting TO over $780,
600 and a gain from the Sub-Treasury of over
S3.2o0,000, made up the increase in cash as re-
ported by the leading institutions The actual
cash holdings OF the associated banks may
show in to-days bank statement larger gain
than presented in yesterdays estimates. owing
to the fact that last weeks exhibit of the Clear
ing House institutions failed to present the i'm
provement which actually took place in the cash
item. This was due to the average system which
is employed in compiling bank statements, and
last weeks figures were really under the
total amount of money held by the banks it is
not unlikely that to-day's statement may pre-
sent a discrepancy in the opposite direction.
The inflow of cash is having the usual effect

a declining tendency while it also is affecting
quotations for sterling exchange, which

ing the foreign exchange situation it IS inter
esting to note that the position of our exchange
market has been improved through the large in
crease in domestic exports. figures of which
were received yesterday. For the month of De
cenber total exports of breadstuffs. cotton. pro-
visions, mineral oils and cattle amounted in
value to S124 537 .92S. compared with SS1 SOC ia

practical joker who clever enough TO put
up spurious Marcon bulletins without being seen
caused deal of trouble last Saturday board the
White Star liner Baltic which arrived here yester-
day.
The steamship left Liverpool on January 5, and
for three days unable to pick up wireless com
munication with any steamer. The lack of bulletins
caused comment in the cabin among passen-
gers who anxious for news. The joker by
casual conversation sounded the feelings of many
passengers and learned of the strong antiJapanese
views held by two German merchants on board.
Thomas W. Lawson and his recent editorial vent
ures were also common topic at the dinner table.
The practical joker bded his time until January 8,
when the Marcon operator picked up the outgoing

nothing in the way of news. 1t buzzed
aboard the ship that the two steamers had been in

There was one japanese on board He read the
bulletin, gave kissing smile and walked out on
deck Behind him were the two Germans with the
strong antf-Japanese feeling. They paused IN the
companionway and read the bulletins. One of them
had heard the laugh of the japanese and followed
him the deck.

The japanese slipped into his stateroom and
avoided the Germans throughout the rest of the
voyage.
Undaunted by the commotion he had caused. the
joker the next day posted the following bulletin:
