Farm Notes.
—The most important work zat this
season is the management of the ma-
nure. It is the farm eavings bank, and
pays good interest if the manure is
handled in a manner to prevent loss.
No manure can be of service until all
the ingredients are reduced by decom-
position, and to spread coarse manure
on the ground in the spring is to take
the risk of a large portion of it re-
maining in the soil beyond the time
when the crops may need it most. In
early spring the manure cannot be
quickly decomposed, as decomposition
is slow when the weather is cold, and
the best period of the year for making
manure and preparing it as plant food
is in the fall and winter. The expos-
ure of manure to the effects of winds,
rains, and sun leads to a loss of a
large proportion of its plant food, and
the addition of coarse material to the
heap without handling the manuresin
a manner to decompose all of the ma-
terial is a loes of time. The real val-
ue of the manure ie cot in the quanti
ty of coarse matter it contains) i
the proportion of nitrogen, phosphoric
acid, and potash therein, and
may be incoluble and unavailable
may be gradually leached out bth
——President Diaz in his message to
the Mexican Congress, devotes much
attention to the progress of Mexico in
commerce, education and the arts. He
finds much to commend in the affairs of
his nation and little to condemn. There
can be no question but Mexico bas
joined the United States in the race for
improvement and is making a good
showing in 1t. It bas wonderful re-
sources, vegetable and mineral, and
much of it a splendid climate, factors
that go to make a great country when
joined to a steble and liberal Govern-
ment, qualities which have been notable
under the Diaz administration. The
people of the United States note the ad-
vancement of Mexico with great satis-
faction, because it is a sister Republic
and a vindication of the wisdom of the
fathers in establishing that form of gov-
ernment and because it is our close
neighbor. The change from the politic-
al turmoil of former years is appreciat-
ed. :
——The corn report of the Depart-
ment of Agriculture for September is
reassuring. The average is high and it
is highest in those States which grow
the most corn. It is hard to figure out
less than 2,400,000,000 bushels of corn
as this year’s crop. This is a round
1,200,000,000 bushels more than last
year’s crop. No crop like it was ever
grown. Incredible as it may seem, this
crop will be fully one-third of the en-
tire cereal crop of the world. Such a
crop means prosperity in the great corn
belt from Indiana across to Nebraska,
cheap food for the civilized world and
rains as fast as they become solubleN Ngormous provision exports from this
the heap.
THE LIQUIDS,
The most valuable portions of man-
ure are the liquide. Enterprising
farmers are careful to eave this, and
with suitable drains carry it to the
manure heap to be absorbed by the
with the majority of farmers, who are
careful to save the solids, but permit
the liquids to run away, some of them
making ditches to carry off the black
liquids which overflow the barnyards,
instead of filling the barnyaid with an
abundance of material for absorbing
them. The centre of the manure heap
is where the heat is generated, and
when liquids are added to the heap
they hasten decomposition. As long
as there is no danger of overheating or
“fire-fanging.” it is an advantage to
have the heap in this condition, but |;
when the centre of the heap is well de-
composed the manure should be hand-
led, the entire mass turned over, and the
coarse material on thetop thrown to
cduntry from December to the following
June. The last corn crop of correspond-
ng magnitude, brought pork down to
$5 a barrel. This can scarcely do that ;
but it will come near it.

In accordance with the usual way, a
legal separation will probably be an-
nounced in due time. The noble Ita-
lian Colonna has consented to accept a
pension of ‘$500,000 a year from his

session of her children. This makes an

that in making manure the process is
one of preparing available plant food.
—This is the time to select seed corn. | ¢
It should have been done before the | =
corn was cut in the field, but when
husking the corn, the best ears should
be selected from the stalks that were
the strongest and most thrifty. A
large ear, with well filled grains, small
cob and large stalk indicates some-
thing better next season than when
the seed is used promiscuously from
the crib. Corn is easily improved by
careful selection of seed.
—The keeping of sheep on worn-out
land has always resulted in increased
fertility, due to the even distribution
of the droppings and the treading of
the manure into the soil by the feet of
the sheep. In England it is estimated
that one hundred sheep kept on one
acre of land fifteen days will render
the land capable of producing more
than an average crop of grain.

Not Consistent.
Republican newspapers are makicg
much-a-do about the possibility of an-
other bond issue, none doing more in
this line than the New York Zribune.
The President may find it necessary to
do this in order to keep up the gold re-
serve; but who made the law compell-
ing the Treasury to keep the reserve at
$100,000,000. The Republicans ! made
in order to have a supply of the yellow
metal on hand to redeem national bank
notes. The Treasury cannot help itself
for the notes must be redeemed when-
ever prised, When the gold reserve
runs low, the President is authorized to
issue bonds to bring it up to the requir-
ed amount, and he can’t help himself,
for be is obliged to maintain the credit
of the government. If he did not,
every Republican newspaper would
jumpon him. The law authorizing the
issue of bonds was also passed by the
Republicans. As a matter of fact, the
Republican party is responsible for our
whole financial system, and when Mr.
Cleveland came into office his hands
were completely tied, and he was with-
out the power to change it in any one
particular. There really seems to be
something wrong in our finances, but
whatever it is, the Republican party is
responsible. ‘When they went out of
power they left us a faulty tariff system
and a disjoined financial policy, and
they now hold a Democratic President
responsible because there’s something
wrong with our finances when he had

A certain minister is the father of a
very bright youngster who has the bi-
cycle fever. The minister had occasion
to leave the city a few days ago ona
short trip, and the first night after his
departure the little fellow was saying
his prayers as usual, and wound up
without making any reference to his
father. His mother softly stroked his
curly head and asked ; “You are not
