American Stock Journal. FORKING BARNYARD MANURE OVER. This is essential to rotting well. When corn stalks, straw and manure of animals are all trod down firmly during the winter and gpring, tha air is effectually excluded, and the material will not rot until it has been fork ed over, were it to remain there for a year or more. If it is loosened so that the air can circulate among it, the entire mass will decay in a few weeks so that it will be easy to pitch and spread it. Now the most expeditious 0 method of pitching manure up clean from the bottom is to do the greatest portion of it with a strong horse fork. Set np three long poles as for pitching hay on a round stack, and make a hole down to the bottom of the ma nure first: then thrust the tine of thehorse fork under the manure and turn it up in large rolls, and tear it to peiees with hand forks. Horse forks are of great service when the manure is very long. After it has rotted, a man or two men can pitch much faster by hand. If barn- yard manure remains in the yard all summer, it should always be forked over, to facilitate the decay of corn stalks and coarse straw. But it should be protected from rain. Some farmers pitch long manure on the wagon with horse forks. But I never could perceive that the practice would pay, because a horse fork will not hold as much as a horse is capable of elevating. It is easy for spy on to try the experiment which will soon satisfy all antici pations or doubts on this subject.— Xorth B ritixh .' yriculturitf. PLOUGHING UP RAW SOIL. We sometimes hear farmers remark that, ploughing deep, they get less grain; that, bring ing up the new mellow koil, their crops suf fer. It would be very grange if this was not the case for this soil even if ever so mellow, is mw. just like manure when it is "green" or "long. It is not yet covered or changed into plant-food. It needs just what the long manure needs—to be changed by the heat and air—that is, decomposed or rotted. hen the top soil is less fertile than it used to be when the land was first tilled, you may reat assured that this under soil is aiways bet- Vr than tbo upper soil, because the upper has deteriorated, while the under has not, but rather improved. Ji is therefore, inadvisable, nay. suicidal in some soils, to turn op deeply the underground in the spring or in the fall at sowing time. The cold, cheerless ground will not help the grain, and were it not for the other soil mixed " itb it, an almost total failure would be the result. But turn it up 4:1 the fall, and let the frost and the elements take hold of if, aud you have another soil: it is turned into manure, a good part of it. A little lime mixed with it, scattered and harrowed in, or manure, or both, would facilitate the process. In the spring sow. either with or without another ploughing, and you will find DO morc occa sion to complain. We have great fertility to draw upon from below, hut it requires manag ing.— Eccning Post. MANURE THE TEST OF GOOD FARM ING. c farm for pro at as a rule, however many exceptions there may be. This profit which "e all seek comes from the sale of the pro ducts of the land, or from that of animals fed upon them. This divides farming operations into two classes, and determines the nature of them, and the system pursued upon dif !creel fields of the same farm. By far the greater number of farmers pursue a mixed system, deriving their i„ CO me in part from u"-° S ° ' Bn< * ' U ft°m animal products. .1 :th such animal manure is a necessity, and the success of a farmer may be predicated upon the amount he makes and uses. A temporary exception to this rule is seen on some of the virgin lands of the West, and wherever apparently inexhaustible fertility of soil renders manure superfluous. 'Where a system of g-eat manuring for wheat an j j n . dian corn, with the addition of lime and plaster, and perhaps bone dust occasionally, is sufficient with good tillage to maintain fer tility, farmers have an economical substitute for animal manures. This system may often be profitably applied to "out fields," and occasionally to entire farms. Manure—barn yard manure, or more properly, barn manure, for the yard is a poor place, at best, to make it—regarding both quantity and quality must be considered the measure of good farming apd the test of success. Wbkn is a tombstone like a rushlight?— When it is set up for a 'if 8 husband. Why is a dishonest bankrupt like an honest poor man ? Because both fail to get rich. W'hv is oak the worst wood of which to make a wooden leg ? Because in produces a —corn. As a man drinks he generally grows reck less: in his case the more drsms the fewer scrnples. Cppid shoots with a rifle now, and not with a bow and arrow. Else how is it that girls can hear the popping of the question ? Lawyers often make ioarfnl charges in their indictments, but these are frequently exceeded when they come to settle with their clients. Goldsmith is supposed to have referred to the Grecian bend, when he wrote "She stoops to conquer." "LOTTIS," said a.little visitor, "what makes your kitty so cross ?" "Oh, caus she is cut ting teeth, I' speet." THB Kentucky giautess, wbo weighed 81'2 pounds, was engaged to a Mr. Way-less when she died. Digcoby says he always respects old age, except when some one cheats him with a pair of tough chickens. A FRIES : Why are a fashionable young ladies' brains like a speckled trout? Because they love to sport under a waterfall. Why ia it important for a phi sician to "keep his temper V Because if he did not he would be apt to "lose his patience." JOSH Billings says he has "seen some aw ful bad throte diseases completely cured in 3 days by simply jining a temperance society." "Ma said Fred, "I should rather be a wild turkey, and live my life out on the prairies, than be a tame turkey and be killed every year." A small sbaver, looking at a battle-picture, remarked, "If I was going to be shot alive, I should want them to.kill me quick and let me go-" "WHAT are you trying to do, Tom? "To mount this horse." "Ah 1" how do you 'get on ?'" "That's the point I'm trying to settle." To make little boys' trousers last: When you make a suit of clothes for them, finish the coat first, and by so doing yon will make the trousers last. It is the oniy way the thing can be done. "I say. Pat," said a Yankee to an Irish man, who was digging in his garden, '"are you digging out a ttole in that onion bed?" "No," says Pat, "I am digging out the earth and leaving the hole.'' t "A cotemporary, lauding a well known citi zen" just elected to oftice, says. "He ia one of the cleverest fellows that ever lifted a hat to a lady, or a boot to a blackguard." "THE Des Moines Register says that the grasshoppers recently ate up half an acre of tobacco for a man near that place and when he owner went out to look at it, they sat on the fence and squirted tobacco juice in his face. A YOUNG author, reading a tragedy, per ceived his auditor very often pull off his hat at the end of a line, and asked him the rea son. "I cannot pass an old acquaintance," replied the critic, "wilhout that civility." AT SCHOOL at Wallsend. near Newcastle, England, the master asked a class of boys the meaning of the word "appetite," when, after a short pause, one little boy said : "I know, sir. When I'm eatiir I'm appy, and when I'm done I'm tight." A LAWYER NONPLUSSED. —"You say that you know a horse from a jackass when you see them?" asked a counsel of a rather !e reason am dis—de day dis chile was born dere was an eclipse.

RATHER SHAKI*. —An editor of a paper n forms his readers that the ladies pull off tbo left stockng last. This, as may be supposed, created some stir among his fair readers, and while in positive terms they denied the state ment: they insisted that he had no business to know it, even if eucii were the fact, and pronounced him no gentleman. He proves it, however, by a short argument. "When one stocking is pulled ofT there is another left on; pulling off this is taking the left stock ing off last." DOS'T I.ET IT HAPPEN AGAIN.—A professor in a New England College was accustomed to demand of students an excuse whenever they were dilatory at recitation. The exense given, he invariably added: "Very well; but don't let it happen again." One morning a mar ried student, happening to be behind time, was promptly interrogated as to the cause. Slightly embarrassed, he replied: "The truth is, I had an addition to my family this morning, and it was notconvenient to be bore sooner." "V cry well." replied the professor, in his quick, nervous manner, "very well but don't let it happen again." THE PRINTER'S LITANT.—From want of gold, from wives that scold, from maidens old, by sharpers sold, —preserve ns. From father's sneers, mock auctioneers, and woman's fears-deliver us. From stinging flies, coal black eyes, and babies cries—protect us. From sunny coats, protested notes, and leaky boots— except us.

The rates of premium, being largely reduced, are made as favorable to the insurers as those of the best Mutual Companies, and avoid all the complications and uncertainties of Notes, Divi dends and the misunderstandings which the latter are so apt to create among the Poliey-Holdere. Several new and attractive tables arc now pre sented which need only to be understood to prove acceptable to the public, such as the INCOME PRODUCING POLICY and RETURN PREMI UM POLICY. In the former, the policy-holder not only socures a life Insurance, payable at death, but will receive, if living, after a period of a few rears, n annual income equal to ten per cent. (10 per cent.) of the par of his policy. In the latter, the Company agrees to return to the assured the total amount of money he has paid in, in addition to the amount of his policy.
