During the dry fall weather swamp
muck should be hauled to tbe vicinity
of the barn, and piled in heaps to dry
own? what, but the drier tbe better.
Then take lime, slack it, and mix it
dry, about one tenth tbe bulk of tbe
uiuit, and so liave the heap or heaps
till spring, when it would benefit the
mixture to shovel H orer once or
wice. The lime will neutralise the
acid in tbe muck, and assist ia Ue
decomposition ot tbe fibrous roots of
plants in it. It would perhaps be
better to haul it out in a dry time in
eumuer, and mix lime with it as soon
as it has dried a week or two, but
farmers Lave not much time at tbat
.season for such work. Swamp muck
is the accumulation of vegetable mat
ter for thousands of years. Tbe de
car of this matter creates crcnic acid,
iuYn permeates tbe entire mass, and
this must be neutralized before tbe
muck can be used as a fertilizer, if it
can under any circumstances be so
called. It is doubtful whether it is
profitable to draw out muck and pre
pare it for use in anv case as a fertili
ser ; but when dried and placed un
der cover and used in stables as an
borbcnt of urine, it becomes very
useful, tbe manure and muck all be
ing mixed together increasing the
bulk of the manure heap, and render
ing all as valuable as so much pure
dung. Tbe rcccrds of experiments

Half proved to be a good fertilizer,
which shows that tbe only way in
which it can be profitably used is as
s.a aliJurUfnt of tbe urine ot cattle
and Lorse, or otherwise mixed with
their dung to absorb the ammonia in
it. This disintegrates tbe lumpy
parts of stable dung, if shoveled over
two or three times, and renders it
touch more valuable than it would be
in its crude, lumpy slate.

Tor land that is to be manured in
the Spring, the manure mar be haul
ci out upon it before winter sets in,
piled in large Leaps, say a load on
each, then have them put ia gooc1
Mhape, and compacted or the sides,
and then cover tbem with earth light
ly, just enough to prevent the manure
from drying on tbe ouuide. and tbe
escape of tbe ammonia. When the
land is to be plowed the manure can
he spread, and tbe time used in haul
ing it. if deferred till spring, is thus
t-aved. Farmers must use their brains,
as well as their hands, in successful
farming by planning their work in
advance. In October and November
their teams may be idle, or partially
o ; and their owners and hired help
may lie taking things easy. Now,
A'br cot haul out what manure is
ready for use as abore r "Tima is
money" we all know ; and if any
spring work can be done in the fall,
it is so much clear gain.
It is cusxmiary to do all repairing
offences in the Sprinjr, but why not
repair them in tbe fall, when one can
spare tbe time ? Tbe winds of win
ter may displace a board or rail here
and there, but a few hours labor will
repair a mile of fence in tbe spring,
wbea it is pat ia good order in tbe
fall. Xew fences may be built in tbe
fall as well as in lbs spring. In
brief, kondreds of dollars may be
saved on farms by doing work ia the
fall tbat is usually left till spring, and
then but half done for tbe want of
time.

bearing a fair average crop of fruit
this year, and tbe trees that bad not

We bauled ia tbe blue beauties

to beat bis bead to a jelly, can hard

The notable feature in this emeuie,
is tbe fact a woman is one of tbe lead

Heisler, a young Bohemian woman
who has gained a great deal of influ

her fervid oratory and advanced

The last swindle ia a rariatioo tf an
old one, which originated in this
city, and is being prosecuted from
here. The modus operandi is very
simple. It is a wire fence of a not
rery new pattorn, and which is not
patentable. the npjtb-touoged
agent shows it to a farmer, and soiic:
its him to become an agent for it.
As an inducement he is offered fifty
rods free, prorided be will put it up
along tbe road where it can l3 seen
and serve as an advertisement. It
is a handsome fence, and tbe farmer
biles at tbe offer. First be gets fifty
rd of fenpe for nothing, and if be
does take an order, he get a Jfbsra
commission. He signs what he tup
poses is an order for fifty rods, and
ioioiedjatelr the wire is shipped him.
Then comes anotLpr Senl who de
mands pay for one hundred aud Cfty
rods. Indignant farmer explains
that he was to hafe fjfty rods free.
Agent says, oertaialy, but you have
ordered one hundred an ! tf j rods,
and tbe one hundred rods you must
pay for at four cents a foot. And he
produces an order with the farmer's
signature, to that effect. Tbe pro
cess is very simple. Tbe farmer saw
a contract fjr fifty rods, but wbea he
cacje to sign, that order was slipped
np, sod he realty put bis name to
another one for one hundred and fifty
rods, tbat lay just underaiuth. He
is frightened into giving bis note for,

Hre-rr I'arlMlttca,
Ilerber; Spencer, speaking of the
emancipation of women, says, in his
incisive way: "If from tbat stage f
primitive degradation in which they
were habitually stolen, bought atd
sold, made beasts of burden, inherited
as property, and killed at will, we
pass to the stage A merica sho ma us,
in which a lady, wanting a seat,
stares at a gentleman occupying one
nntil be surrenders it, and then takes
it without thanking him, we may in
fer tbat tbe rythni traceable through
out all changes has carried this to an
extreme from which there will be a
recoil." Herbert is rather bard cn
cur ladles; yet we hare the testimo
ny of one of the fair sex herself that
the conduct be so severely describes
is of twtnty years' practice, at least.
In "The Englishwoman in America,"
a rolume of travels published in 1S."0,
tbe writer, returoiag from Chicago
by the Michigan Central Krailroad,
tells us: "The cars were rery full, and
were not able to seat all the passen
gers. Consequently, according to
tbe ussges of American etiquette, the
gentlemen racated the seats in fa? of
of the ladies, who took possession or
to em in a rery ungracious manner,
as I th ought" Here is the testimo
ny of both sexes, one from hearsay,
tbe other from observation; both,
however, "Blarsted Britishers" and
apt to be prejudiced. To combine
bo'.h methods from the impartial out
look ot one to tbe manner b ru, one
has only to ride a day in a Cnicagu
street car, and the chain of evidence
is complete. We are reminded that
tbis subject has been alluded to before
but it deserves further treatment.
It is uot pleasant to ride etandiog
ia a borse-car. Whether a man has
been silting at his desk all day or
running the streets is of little mo
ment. Suspended bctweeu beareu
and earth, like Mahomet's cuffia, the
elbows in bis knees seeking to make
tbe acquaintance of ihat ia tbe small
of his back, reminded coustaatlr, to
brace up by similar sympathetic ex
periments in the anatomy of his most
contiguous fellow-sufferer, he g-ts the
worth of his nickel with as sure a re
turn as did tbe lad ho woiked his
passage on the canal boat by driv
ing tbe borse along ihe lo.pmb.
Yet, we make bold to say tbat there
is not ope American ia twenty who
would not cheerfully and with alacri
ty conform to the usages of American
society, with all tbeir attendant woes
if our ladies would ouly prove that
Mr. Spencer and the peripatetic Ejg
lishwomao are antiquated in tbeir
remarks. For every man of the ge
nus homo knows that a woman can
not stand up in a horse car. The
mental philosophers tell us tbat with
her the reasoning aud calculating
faculties are replaced by a lightning
prooess oalledjumping at conclusions
But the eorjiputaiiou of
the several
angles to ij preserved
respectively
in amoving, ttoppmg, stationary, and
starting horse car oiust not be jump
ed at, or the jump will terminate dis
astrously. So, while the pendant
from a hold-up strap t f the masculiue
persuasion suffers uuy tho evils of
adjastiog angles other ie kuown
as facing Jj'mselJ hi Wife sister,
or mother is selling all the laws of
graceful moremeu:s at dtfiaio- a il
suffering all tho mental pings ibat a
oonsciiusuess oi suc'D inroluntarr ex
ercises indicia ou a refined and sensi-
tireuatuie. All tbe cbiralrr in
man's nature and there is some
uiubi riciaiuis againsi sucu scurvy
conduct practiced by the Jaws ol
gravitation on the fa jr sex, lind the
exchange of a seat for a pojite recog
nition oi tue courtesy is eonsidtred
an even thing. But alas f the in
geuious m m who has trusted in the
innate politeness of women. Tbre
are ways U accepting relinquished
eifta, pyiii iub grauiqi qcHaowledg;
meqtto the ope suggested by Mr!
Spcnt,er. There is tho strong-mind-
ea recipient, who protsu that she
can stand just ag well as not, and
tbeo bounces down, forgettiog that
any one has relinquished in her be
half; there is the indignant dame,
who will not accept because rou fail!
ed to jump when she first "hore in
sight, and waiu to kh down until
you have clunk out ou the front plat
form in disgrace. Tbere is the ordi
nary mortal who takes it all as a mat
ter of course, just as the sunshine,
for which tbauks would be superflu
ous. 4 II t-te are iu gt as apt-ana!
a little more so--to be clad, in silks
and Japes as iq homespuq or calico.
f,ast, oqd for the honor of American
womanhood, there is tbe true lady
from all grades of society, whose
grateful "thank you" or' smile makes
a man feel tbat standiog is not so
bad after all.
A history of burse-cars would show
that the rytbm traceable through, tbp
Ch,anjes of the pourtcsjes incident
iLuruto has been retrogressive, and
might hare furnished Mr. Spencer
tbe phenomenon of development
backward. When first introduced
into our cities the men occupied tbe
standing seats until tho recurrence of
unacknowledged courtesies drew out
their latest selfishness at the ex
pense of gallantry, aud the present
state of things came about.
Tbe ladies who Reserve th.e name
suflsr for thp sins of omission of their
counterfeit presentment, aud the
men sacrifice a portioo of iheir self
respect. No hale, ab'e-bodied man,
ilb the iustiuets of a gentleman, cau
sit without compunctions while a wo
man is standine. and is driven to it
only by the discourtesy of those
whose exterior would promise better
tbJnjrs. Th.e weaker ffi ipust right!
