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.

DOMESTIC.
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.

He blushed to the tips of his ears as

"You made a little mistake in your

"Very likely. It is almost impossi

What was it ?"
"You said me and Lizzie Fipkius were

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.
Bra/.e Efficiency —Among the instru
ments ai a recent scientific meeting was
one exi ib ed employed for ascertaining
the velocity ot trains and the efficiency or
brakes. With this apparatus it was found
that a train weighing 125 tons ran five
miles five yards alter steam was shut off
tiaveliug at a speed hf forty-five miies an
hour. The line was level and the day per
fectly calm.

agreeable in their action that a person suffering
with sick headache, sour stomach, or pain in the

symptoms. They act directly on the liver, the
organ which, when in a healthy condition, purifies
the blood for the whole body.

Sehenok's Seaweed Tonic should be used
