AGRICULTURE,
AN EXCELLENT FERTILIZER.—A German
farmer once told the writer that every year
he piepared a heap of manure which, when
applied to his soil, made it produce mar
velous yields. His mode of preparing it
wan as tollows, to use his own language:
•'1 have but ore horse, one cow and about,
two dozen fowls. 1 save every particle of
their droppings and place them under a
shed which has a cemented door; upon this
1 spread a layer of forest mold, and iu or
der to preserve the ammonia in it I cover
the dung with another of mold, taken from
the woods close to my house. I continue
this system of layering each time the sta
ble, cow and hen houses are cleaned out.
1 also save the urine of the animals and
that ftom my house, and pour it upon the
heap sometimes. 1 also add a small quan
tity of litter from the stable, and, when
not to busy to collect them, a lot of leaves.
By attending to the heap in person, and
seeing that all the manure is riginly saved
I find on hand by the earlv spring a large
quantity ef the richest fertilizer 1 have
ever used, Dunug the few winter mouths
it has thoroughly rotted, and, when need
ed to spread upon my garden, it resembles
a heap of ashes, so completely is it pulver
ized. My garden consists of Ave acres of
ground, which receives this valuable ma
nure. On a farm where twenty or thirty
hones, mules and cattle are kept, and a
flock of sheep and a fair number ot fowls,
besides their combined dropiuugs,if treated
as above, enough ct this excellent fertilizer
could be saved each year to thoroughly
manure fifteen or twenty acres of laud and
no fanner should be at a loss to have what
inanuie he requires, for this is the founda
tion of successful fanning.
PRESERVING BEANS.—The beau crop has
been an important one in this country. New
Euglaud has taught us to eat bean.<, aud
they have become a staple diet. In ordi
nary limes vast quantities are consumed
by the poorer or more ecouoinical classes.
During the past year, however, those who
have been looking for a cheap dish, have
been compelled to cast their eyes lu souie
direction other than "beauward;" and as
some people judge the quality of a thing
wholly by the price, we suppose that the
high price of beans has recommended them
to many who thought little of them betore.
However that may be, they will always
enjoy a large patronage, and will lorin a
substantial diet. A correspondent doubt
fully impressed with the truth of these re
marks, IL quires how best to preserve beans.
They heai easily, and are gieatly damaged
by heating. Comtquentlj they should be
ihorougmy ory wntu put away. For this
purpose have them thoroughly dried before
prtseivmg, and if this is done the whole
piobltm of preserving is solved. They
should be permitted to stand until frost
comes, but not later, even if they are not
fully growD,for if they are carefully cured
beans may be pulled when quite green. If
they are intended lor the market, ail the
detective beans s; ould be picked out.Kuu
niDg them through a fauning mill will
clean them pretty thoroughly, but there
will likely remain some discolored beans,
and these hurt the saie. As with every
ihinr el6e that is marketed, beans, to bring
the best price, must look well.
RED OAK.—Bed oak is tound in abun
dance in almost all parts of the country,
and from its pleniifulness and its uusuita
bleDess tor a large majority of the com
mercial uses in which white oak is utilized
has been looked upon with contempt, but
liitlo eeseived when its adaptability to the
manufacture ot furniture is taken into con
sineration. It is mere brittle than white
oak and more porous, and this has proba
bly been the cause of its neglect for ship
building purposes, combined with the fact
that it is more susceptible to the attacks
of the inarire insects which abound in salt
water. It is not a wood which will stand
the variations of wet and dry; and while
white oak was to be had in abundance
the red osk w&s tLought fit only to be
made into flour barrels. V\hen sawed so
as lo lully develop the graiu, there is no
question of its beauty being equal to
black waluut, in the eyes of those who
are not prejudiced in favor of the rich
dark color of the latter.
THE light crop of apples in almost every
section of the country is ominous for the
future. It can hardly be possible ihat cli
matic peculiarities of the present season
are responsible for the nearly universal
failure. A more probable cause is the
spread of insect enemies, decreasing fertil
ity, or some other reason as likely to pro
duce a failure a year hence as now, The
"off yea i" theory will not do; for this is
not the off year in most sections, and in
many places it is the 6econdor third season
when apples have proven a failure. Not
withstanding these disappointments, we
shall continue to grow apples, but their
culture will be lestiicted to those who will
mve the requisite time, skill and care to
the business. W hen the almost universal
culture of apples is abandoned, theu they
will not be so cheap as they have been,
but they will be of a better quality and a
reliable crop eveiy year.
IT is usually quite as well to have cows
calve in the fall; jwrticularly where milk
and, butter are n ore important thau the
calf. With ensilage feeding, winter will
prove the best time for butter-making, but
the silo system will probably be slow iu
coming into general use and the Winter
price of butter must be high for many
years to come. The worst season of all
to have a cow calve is in late Spring,
or early Bummer. The first flow ol
milk then comes at a time when it is
least valuable and costs more labor and
ttouble to make into butter.
THE English farmer is discouraged at
the diminution and uncertainty of the
wheat crop. During the last seven years
there has beeu a decrease of over one
million acres in the planted wheat which
creates a corresponding increase in ttie de
mand for imported grain. There is a
sufficient surplus of American wheat this
year, however, to meet all foreign de
mands without advancing the price at
home, and much of it will assist iu appeas
ing the appetite of Mr. Bull.
THE length of time that a cow goes dry
has quite as much to do with her value as
a milker as her butter product per week.
Going dry lor a long period is a matter of
habit, and if a young heifer is not milked
until pretty marly her time for calving, her
value as a cow will be greatly lessened
thereafter? After drying up once for 3or
four months befoie calving, it is very diffi
cult to get a cow to give a paying amount
of milk later than this date at a subsequent
time.
THE Boston iraveler tays that the ol
dest inhabitant oi Massachusetts has uever
known so complete a failure of the corn
crop as the present year. Owing to the
drought the pastures are bare and dead,the
fields of fodder corn dried up, the farmers
are cutting their fields of corn in the hope
to save a little forage, having no hope of
extra tor the crib. Uubaled hay is already
selling at S2O per ton at the barn.
OATS are still to a considerable extent

A CORRESPONDENT says that the cod
fish frequents "the table lauds of the
sea." The oodflsh no doubt does this
to secure as nearly as possible a dry,
bracing atmosphere. This pure air of
the submarine table lands gives to the
oodflsh that breadth of chest aud depth
of luugs which we have always noticed.
The glad, free smile of the codfish is
largely attributed to the exhilaration of
this oceanic altitoodleuin. The corres
pondent further says that "the cod sub
sists largely on the sea cherry," Those
who have not had the pleasure of seeing
the oodflsh climb the sea cherry tree in
search of food, or clubbing the fruit
from the hoavily laden branches with
chuuKs of coral have missed a very tine
sight. The codfish, when at home
rambling through the submarine forests,
does not wear his vest unbuttoned, as
he does while loafing arouud the grpoory

"Oh, it's way up under the roof; yon
can't yet there." "Isnt ain't there *n

MRS. PERCY YEUGER is a good w oman,
but she is not well posted about church
festivals, and she is not as refined as
she might be. The Kpiscopal clergy
man happening to remark in her pres
e ice that it would soon be Advent, she
said: "Then we will all have to mortify
ourselves again, but I dou't miud it a
bit. Last Advent 1 saved enough out
of butcher's meat for the servants' table
to get me a $75 cloak to go to church
in."
"That was Lent, madame."
"No, it wasn't lent Three or four of
the neighbors' wivts wanted me to lend
them that cloak, but 1 told them it
wasn't mine, and lied out of it that way."
AN e tbetic invitation to dinner con

replied the uncultured one, "I'm awful
ly sorry not to come, but have already
accepted an invitation to dine with four
stomachs the same night."
"How do you loike the new school,
Mickey, me son ?"
"Purfcy well; but, mother, phatmakes
