AGRICULTURE. APPLYING MANUKK IN THE FALL Whether the manure should be applied in the spring or the fall depends on the char acter of the soil and the crop that is to occupy the land. Manuring in the tall is usually followed by corn or grass; more csmmonly eorn, if the lai d has been in clover. It is au advantage to spread ma nure at this season, as the frost and expo sure to tne air and rains convert it into a fine condition and hasten its decomposi tion, which is what the farmer wishes. The hauling can be done now without liin dranoe, as no other farm work seeds pres sing attention, which brings the busy sea son of spring forward with a heavy por tion of the work finished It is feared by some farmese that by apply ing manure in the fall there occurs a loss of ammonia. Theie is no doubt of the formation of am monia, owing to the decomposition that takes place, but ammonia is largely absor bed by water, which carries it downward, and once it finds its way into the soil the vegetable and mineral acids with which it comes in contact changes the ammonia into salts, which vary according to lhe kind of acids united to it. Ihe salts of ammonia do not remain fixed iu character, for, being ever changeable, they are cou liLually being broken to pieces and re formed Dy acids stronger tban those to which It has been joined, and their char acter is regulated by the ingredients con tained in ths soil. The manure should be spread as soon as hauled, for if left iu heaps the rains leach them, and tne soil will be richer in some places than mothers. The soil, however, must oiso be taken into consideration. It is not the better plan to spread manure in the l&ll on light, sandy soil tdat is poious, for the heavy rains ami melting snows of winter will carry away a great portion ot it and cause waste of the soluble substances. On heavy soils, such as are underlaid with clay, the advantage is to spread in the fall, but it the land is rolling it should first be plowed before spreading, in order to prevent washing. The plowing benefits the laud by admit ting the action of the elements to a certain depth below the surface, throws up the cutworms to the cold ami permits it to be broken to pieces and disintegrated, it should be lei t in the rough state for the reception of the manure, or else be asset, over with the cultivator afterward. With this treatment the only work necessary for a corn crop in the spring is to put in the seed as the best portion of the preparation will have been accomplished, as well as thinning out the cutworm?, which is an important matter. Tin winter time is a good oue to lock after the destruction of the eggs and chry salides of insects. J a cities especially, the walls, feuces and rough bark of trees afford shelter to them, and they can be easily hunted out. As before noted the bag-worm or drop-worm has been particu lar ly destructive the past season, and es pecially to arborvities and coniferous trees generally. The oval "nags," more than an inch m length, and are ieadily seen and easily collected and destroyed. Ou open ing some of these bags with sharp-pointed scissors only some ot them will be found with eggs. Those without the eggs pro duce the male motn, which leaves its bag like house m the spring, The female moth never leaves its house from the time it makes it to the time it dies and leaves its eggs behind. It is an anumally amongst iufcctß,|and originated the saying abouu it that "its cradle is its grave." BARKSTABLK county, Massachusetts, has 1950 acres under cranbeny cultivation,ai:d the crop in 1880 was 39.000 bushels. Tbe Massachusetts Ploughman gives the con ditions most favoraoie to success in cran berry culture as: "First, water, plemy of it, and a full command of it, so that the vines cau be covered in a few hours at any season, and also drained as rapidly, to at least one foot below the surlace. ISscond. a peat bottom of two or more feet in depth with a level surface. Third, a good sand bank witbin a short distance of the mead ow. With all of these conditions and some knowledge of the business success wiil be reasonably sure: but if either one of them is wanting the time required to prepare the land and 6et the vines, as a rule, had better be devoted to the produc tion of some other crop. FOB young cattle feed one of flesh to S of hcat-producine substauces, and to older animals give one to six. Most of the food of young cattle go to make up bone and muscle, leaving about third ciass manure; the food of half-grown animals goes to make flesh mostly, leaving t econd-elass manure; the food of mature animals goes to make fat and support life, the excess becoming first-class manure, .exclusive of water. Chemically animals eoming to maturity will eat about one-fifth 01 their own weight per day. MANY farmers of Oregon and Washing ton Territories have devoted tbair atten tion to hop culture. This year they raised a fine crop, estimated at 1,000,000 pounds. Many farmert nave sold at 75 cents a oouod, and others are holding for a higher yrice. This fine crop will bring a great sum to the farmers. It seems that the region is abundantly suited to hop culture, amd a good supply may be expected from that quarter in future. FLOCB is easily injured by bi ing kepi m a room where unwholesome odors are exhaled. For this reason cellars and oth er places devoted to fruits should be avoid ed, A fungoid growth will sometimes oc cur in flour that will baffle ordinary at tempts at removal. Entire destruction not only of the flour affected, but of every ves sel containing it, is the only remedy. KEB ants are said to like lard better even than sugar. For this reason, if the rut ants are troublesome in kitchen or store rooms set a plate well greased with lard in the room. It will scon be covered with th-sna, an# you can dispose of them; put the plate back, and keep on doing so until they are exterminated. THE rows and bushes and trees which have grown at random anc frequently lint roadsides and inside fences are rarely eith er useful or ornamental. Let any larmier who has these adjoining any hoed crop calculate what they cost him 111 a year, and then decide whether he can longer afford such a feature. REGARDING peach disease— yellows— Prof. Goessman of the Massachusetts Agricultural College found that poor soil favored its spread. By treating trees to a dressing of superphosphate and muriate of petash, applied around the and well broadcas'ed, be restored them to good health. The cause is due to impoverish ment.

IT sometimes happens that fruit of one kind or another is not acceptable to the family after it is put up. It comes to the table, but no one eats it; it "goes begging," as the saying is. This was tiue one .Aear of preserved citron in one family, It seemed as if it would be wasted, but the frugal woman who was at the head of affairs experimented in this way: She too the citron from the syrup, sliced it, spread it on plates and dried it in the oven. It then took the place of expensive imported citron used in cakes, puddings, etc. The syrup she used in mince pie meat, and in the dress ing for sweet pickles. She considered her experiment a complete success as n matter of economy, and also because she was not detected by any of her fam ily. A GOOD recipe for marbled cake is hero given: One cup of butter, two cups of sugar, three cups of tlour, and four well-beat on eggs, one cup of sweet milk, two teaspooufuls of baking powder mixed with the tlour. Dissolve a heap ing tableepoonful of chocolate with a little milk, bettor still with cream. Then dip out a cupful of the cake bat ter, and stir the chocolate in it till it is all thoroughly mixed and brown. Cov er the bottom ot the cake tin with the batter, and thou in two or three places form little riugs with the chocolate-col ored batter, then put in another layer of the light, and so 011 until all is used. This cake should be baked in a moder ate oven, and the top and sides also, if you choose, be covered with chocolate icing. MACARONI AU GRATIN,— Take hulf a pound of spaghetti maearroni, four oun ces of cheese, two ounces of butter, throe quiu tors of a cupful of Bechamel sauce. Do not masli the macarouui.

"You said me and Lizzie Fipkius were bothered, w hen we arc not bothered at all. We are betrothed, air. Quite a difference." And the editor said: "Ah !

Watch Cleaning. —This is an interest ing piece ot information from a German magazine: Blace a watcu, with the case open bui the works in motion, in a vessel so that the watch will be completely cov ered with benzine. After three hours it will be found that the watch has been thor oughly cleaned. The vessel should be covered with parchment paper, and the watch before it is removed should be slightly agitated. Lastly, the watch is laid m benzine again, but this tune a little petroleum oil is added in order to lubricale the machinery. The World s Age —Geological exami nation of the delta of the Mississippi now shows that for a distance of about three huudred miles there are buried forests of large trees, one over the other, with inter spaces ot sand. Ten distinct forest g.owthfl of this description have been observed, which it is believed must have succeeded each other. Of these trees, known as the bald cypress, some have been found over twenty-five feet in diameter, and one con tained 5 ; 700 riugs; in some liist- nces, too, huge trees have errowu rrom the stumps of others equally large. From these facts geologists have assumed the antiquity ot each forest growth at 10,000 years, or 110,000 years tor all.
