SPREADING MANURE IN THE FALL
A neighbor was querying what he had


better do with his barnyard manure, of


which he had large quantity. 1t was
piled in the yard last summer, and he


wished to apply it to a field intended for
corn next year. Was it best to let it re-
main in large piles till next spring or draw
it on to the fields this fall and distribute it
in small heaps to be spread just before
ploughing, or draw and spread it evenly
this fall? We should draw it to the field.
We should draw it to the field now while
the ground is hard, and time is not as val
uable as it may be next spring; then we
should spread it evenly, provided the sur
face is not so steep as to besubject to wash
ing by the winter and spring floods. If it
is we should prefer leaving it in small
piles to be spread as soon as the frosti out
next spring. We have found from expert
ence that much greater benefit is derived


from manure if it be applied to the sod in
the fall than if it be put on only just pre-
vious to ploughing in the spring. There
is no loss by evaporation or fermentation,
and the only thing to be guarded agaist is
washing, especially during sudden thaw,
which moves a great deal of water over
frozen ground, and this, even, is not as
large as many suppose. The advantage
gained by fall manuring comes from
the abstraction of the strength of the
manure by the rains aud melting SHOWS,
and the deposition of it in the sod or sur
face of the SOIL. 1t is then ready for tbe
plant to use Immediately, which thus gains
a vigorous growth early in the season. 1t
would be good plan to harrow the field
after the manure is spread, as this assists
to distribute it evenly and brings it closer
to the Surface.-AmericdR Rural Home.

essential to the thrift of an animal in any

In your behalf God has made
manifest His direct interposition.
Not in the cabines of Abraham
Lincoln or jeff Davis: neither in
the tents of Grant or Lee, was your
freedom devised, but in the tent of
Him whose pavilion is in the
Heavens. Abraham Lincoln and
the Republican party were but hon.
ored instruments in bringing about
your emancipation from bondage.
An important trust has been COM
mitted to your keeping, and we
humbly hope you have proper
sense of the responsibility that is
upon you. Remember that eternal
vigilance is the price of liberty"
That the great boon which God has
given you is only to be maintained
by constant watchfulness and effort.
The world is full of selfish tyrants,
and men, as well as nations, main
tain their rights only by watchful-
ness and stout resistance. And
now, as you love freedom, and
would have your rights forever
secured to you, and your children,
see to it that every man is at his
post. Dent let the cunning enemies
Of Union and liberty make any
divisions among You. In the COM
ing election let your vote be solid
one, and cast only for outspoken,
straightforward friends of freedom
and justice. Asking nothing in
vengeance, nothing that you will
not yield to others, only equal and
exact justice to all citizens, without
regard to race, color or previous

and common prosperity may be
brought all classes. And may
Heaven grant to you wisdom and
strength to WELD the ballot, that it's
benediction may rest on our land

There are but few inventions or discoveries
which produce complete revolution in any de-
partment of labor. To have supposed, year ago,
that the dirtiest garment could be washed clean,
in twenty thirty minutes, by boiling alone,
would have been regarded an indication Of in
sanity. But it has been demonstrated beyond any
doubt that this process not only cleans the clothes,
but that garments thus washed become whittier and
clearer the longer it is used. Some people suggest
that clothes will get yellow after awhile. by being
washed in this way but such supposition has
foundation in fact, and is contradicted by the
perience of every lady who has adopted this mode
of washing


Everybody who has tried the machine in Shasta
have expressed themselves highly pleased with
its operations. 1t must be seen to be fully appre-
ciated, as its full merits cannot be properly set
forth in an ordinary advertisement


Public and private tests have been given of this
apparatus for the last six months, and more than a
million of people have witnessed its success. Ten
thousand boilers sold in New York City in less
than five onths, from stand, and at this time
the orders reach about one hundred day. Nc
used it as directed that did not recommend
it. 1t has been recommended by more than five
thousand persons in less than six months. Among
the names those of the most distinguished cit
izens of the United States but the best recommen-
daon is to take the boiler and use it yourself. Do
just as you directed and you will be more than
satisfied. 1t appeals to all a matter of econ
omy, and can be shown to be the best kind of an
Investment 1t will return yearly dividend in
cash of TWO HUNDRED PER CENT. on the
money invested. For instance, we will suppose
your white clothing such bed and table linen
ladies' and gentiemens' wear and childrens' cloth
ing, only cost you $40 year. They will last twice
as long washed in this way as by the old method
Thus you actually save $50 year by.investing 10
or 200 per cent. annually. There is family
scarcely but spends more than here stated but his
is taken. as very low average of this branch of
family expense. Added to 4this is the great con-

well afford to be without.

diately pour over the shell all around, and if it

Keep up hyt fire for twenty minutes. Then

remains. a few rubs will talse it all out. Then
rinse them in clean water, wiring dry and the wash
ing is done. Give particular heed to the following
SUGGESTIONS. zfs ofi


The clothes need not be wet before placing them
in the Boiler. 1t is of vital importance to THOR
0UGHLY SUDS the clothing after boiling. Every
lady knows that the least particle of suds left in
the clothes to dry win cause the clothes to look
yellow. brisk fire is important in order to FRO
duce rapid boiling. Time may be saved by stirring
or turning the clothes occasionally while boiling


The cover should not be removed except when
necessary, in order TO insure quick work. If the
washing be large one, the clothes should be as
sorted, as dirty shirts, for instance will require
double the time of sheets, pillow cases, napkins,
&c. ~.sss4-.-


Articles much soiled may be left in for second
boiling. White fanncls may be beautiful washed
without FULLING) by this process. They
should be put in when the water is hot, and rinsed
out in hot water Asfa


Colored clothes should not be mixed with white,
and unless the colors fast they should be
washed by this process, The most delicate laces,
cambrics, &C., such as would nearly fall to pieces
if washed in the ordinary way, may be was he'd per-
ectly, without injury by this process. The almost
absolute necessity of using soft, or "broken,"
water, is so well understood as to hardly need
mention here.


No machine ever invented will entirely remove
the streaks from dirty wrist bands and Collars
This Self washing Boiler more nearly does it than
any other. device. Should shade or streak remain,
it ill be found to be so reduced and sotened as to
disappear without the use of wash-board, by
merely rubbing them with the hands, thus avoiding
all the wear and tear Of clothing by washing. 1t

more than oNE-HALF ITS WEAR by the old
process of RUBBING, and consequently viii last
