The Use OF en-. Manure
Spreader.

a manure spreader is In the saw
ing of labor. As a matter Of fact
this is only one Of the advantages
offered by the use Of such an i'm
plement. Another advantage
which is even more important in
many ways, 10 the fact that
manure scattered evenly and
rather thin over wide area will
give very much more return per
ton than where scattered irregu-
larly and on the thinner places as
is usually done when distributed
from o wagon. This increased
return is due 10 the fact that there
is less loss in fermentation when
put on thinly, and also to the fact
that a considerable share OF the
value OF manure comes from the
addition of beneficial bacteria to
the soil, SO that when this takes
place over wide area il is much
more beneficial than when limited
to small area.
Another reason why the manure
spreader is advantageous is be-
cause a man who has his money
invested In an implement of this
sort will take better care of the
manure on the farm. He will not
allow it to lie around and leach,
but will get il back on the fields
where it should be placed.
The very best way of handling
manure lie to haul 1t out day by
day, or week by week, as il is
made II this can be doue. Many
farmers think that manure ap-
piled in this way will lose its
value before the next crop Is
grown on the land, but experi-
ments show that there is very
little loss in this case unless the
land Is very rolling,
The next method of handling
manure 10 TO feed under an open
shed where the manure Is kept
tramped down compactly through
the feedieg season and then
hauled during the summer OF y
leisure time. Manure kept COM
pacted in this way under cover
loses very little. OF course, the
practice OF feeding the animals
directly on the fields is a good
one, but the difficulty is In get
ting the manure scattered over
the whole field, The scattering
is too often confined to a small
sheltered feeding ground.
Farmers should understand
more thoroughly the advantages
to be derived from the use Of
manure spreader and every farm
of one hundred acres or over
where cattle are fed around the
buildings should not be without
this implement.

Weddinq Customs.

The custom of throwing a shower of
rice over newly welded couples comes
to us from India, and originated in
the idea that rice was an emblem of
fecundity. The Hindu bridegroom. at
the close Of the marriage ceremony,
thu ows three handfuls of rice over
the bride, and she replies by throwing
the same over him. With US the rice
is thrown by outsiders. The "old
shoe" custom is generally supposed tc
come from the Hebrews, and is sup
posed to have originally implied that
the parents of the bride gave up all
authority over her. The Germans had
long a custom, which perhaps they
have not wholly given up even now
of putting the groom's shoe on the
pillow of the bridal bed and in Anglo
Saxon marriages the father gave a
shoe of the bride to the bridegroom,
who touched her on the head with it
to remind her who was now master,
The wedding ring was used among
the ancient Hebrews primarily with
the idea that the delivery OF ring
conferred power on the recipient. and
thus the wife, wearing her husbands
ring, shared his authority. The ring
in the Roman espousals was a pledge
OF loyalty, and the idea that it should
be worn on the third finger OF the
left hand because "a nerve connects
this finger with the heart" originated
with the Romans. Orange blossoms
were worn by brides among the Sara.
Gems because they were held to sym.
bolize fruitfulness; the very general
use OF these flowers in Europe and
America for bridal adornment is COM
paratively q modern custom. The use
OF a bridal veil Is relic OF the far
off time when the husband was not
allowed to see his brides face till
after marriage.
1t is said to be a curious fact that
the wedding cake. that elaborate. in
dispenBsble at the modern marriage
ceremony, is the direct descendant Of
q cake made OF water, -four and salt,
of which. at the Roman high-class
weddings, the married couple and the
witnesses psrtook at the time OF the
signing of the contract.
