There is as great a difference in the way two men will save manure on a farm as in the way they will care for their stock or raise their crops. One farmer will recognize the value of the manure and will add straw and all sorts of refuse, working them in and incor- porating them together so as to make an excellent article. Such a method was systematically carried out on a farm where the writer visited this summer. Nothing was wasted either inside the house or out. Whatever was not of value for pigs or chickens was set. aside for the compost heap. It did not mat- ter how trifling the amount, it always found its way there during the course of the day. Asa result the owner is steadily bringing up a run down farm at the yearly expenditure of a very small sum for commercial fertilizers, while his next door neighbor, with originally better laud, larger means and a more extended experience, is rapidly beenming bankrupt. The change in their circumstances is beingr brought about by their different methods of handling the manure ques- tion. The old farmer is going on in the old rut he got into 20 years ago, when the land was virgin and the prices of farm products high. Labor was high, too, then, and he economized by moving his animals about, feeding here and there in odd corners in the woods or along the roads, wherever it happened to be convenient, or where it would save the trouble of cleaning up afterwards, tor he regadrcd the manure as simply a waste product. These habits cling to him still to a far greater extent than he is aware of. He thinks that he saves his manure, or at least, “ all that is worth the bother,” but fully one half of it is still lost and the remainder is thrown out, to be leached by every passing storm, while the insufiiciency of bedding causes an almost total loss of the liquid manure. Though this farmer keeps double the amount of stock that his careful neigh- bor does, he has always fewer loads of manure to haul. He says he cannot understand it, and gets very indignant at the suggestion that he, a farmer born and bred, can learn anything from an engraver, whose failing health and sight have driven him to an out door life. Yet the beginner is always doing better than the old farmer. He says his only F'l'OnL: point is his manure heap, but it struck me that he is succeeding because that same care is bestowed on every part of the lartn. He finds nothing too much trouble, and consequently there are no leaks to run away with the profitsâ€"C. I). Bell, in New York World. ..0 Carrots for Miloh Cows. The feeding of roots to cows in winter is generally productive of good results when fed in moderation. They exercise a very beneficial effect upon the digest- ive organs and thus upon the general health of the animal. The tendency is to increase the appetite and thereby e..;.ule the animal to produce more milk. (‘arrots'are perhaps more largely raised luv the lending of horses than for cattle, for just what reason we do not know, thcpt perhaps that horses are more fond of carrots than of any other kind of roots. They can be nearly as cheaply raised as other roots and are more val Allen, in his Am- (‘l‘lCill Farm Book, says that carrots -- are good for working cattle, and un- Mll‘p'lssoii for milch cows, producing a great flow of milk and a rich yellow cream." A half bushel of carrots each day per cow would be a very desirable addition to a ration of hay and grain, and will no doubt increase the quantity (f milk and probably improve the color (f cream and butter made from the milk, provided some yellow variety of tie carrot is usedâ€"Director O.

At 9 o‘clock last Saturday evening Algernon stood at the front door of the" house of the girl he loved. but to when: he dared nut say the word. For a long time he had been sparring 'i'or points, but to the bashful these things do not appear in a clear light. even though they clearly exist. He had runs the bell once, twice. thrice, but there had been no answer. Nervously be stretched forth his hand to ring again when the door was oneued by the one being in all the world who made his life worth living. “ Why, Algernon," she exclaimed, “if I had thought it was you I wouldn't have kept you standing out in the cold so long." He thought of how he had been standing out in the cold, and wondered when the courage would come to him to go in out of it. “ You know," she continued, as she drew him inside and closed the door, “ the servants are out to-night, and some of the family have to answer the front doorbell.” He thought he saw a chance to make a'start in the right direction without alarming her. That had been the tron ble all the time with Algernon. lie was in mortal terror of frightening the girl by some emotional precipitancy or other, and thus destroying his hopes forever. “ Why, Miss Dora,” he said, in ten- der, insinuating tones, “ don't you know my ring yet?” She looked down at her empty fiu~ gers, where no jewelled setting shone, and then looked up into Algcrnou’s face. “ No, Algernon," she said, blushing, “ I do not. But don’t. you think it is almost time that I did ? "â€"-Ncw York Sun. . Trouble with an Editor. Strangerâ€"So you have no paper in this towu ? Nativeâ€"No, air. We did have one, but it wasn’t_ run right, and we were glad to get rid of it. “ What was the matter ? " “ Wall, in the fast place, the editor didn’t allors treat folks right. He’d call one gall young and handsome, and slur- ringly refer to another gull asjust pretty, leaviu’ it ter be inferred she wasn't pretty enough ter be called handsome, and she might be as old as Methuselah. Wall, that made trouble, an’ after that when Farmer Hayseed and Former Fal- low both left the same sort of stuff on his table, he gave Fallow two lines more than the other." “ Yes.” “ Wall, things kept gettin’ wuss and wuss, until Gincral Oldman up on the hill died, and got half a column obitu- ary notice all about the Mexican war and things, while my uncle Jake, just as good a man, who never left the form, but ’tendcd to his duties like a Chris- tian, an’ was a pillar of the church, got only a quarter of a column. You better believe, me an’ my friends felt hurt.” “ I suppose so.” “Wall, we begun inquiring around about this editor, and we diskivered that, while he was chargin’ us for every little two line advertisement we put in, he was printin’ a hull column about his job office for nothing. That raised a breezo, 1 tell you.” “ No doubt.” “ After that, things came-tor a head. The feller commenced stoppin’ the paper on them wat didn’t pay their subscrip- tions. Then we rose in our might an‘ druv him out o' town."â€"Ncw York Weekly. -â€"..-‘.o A Cheerful Prospect. A nervous young minister, in visiting a neighboring village, had an unpleasr not. experience. The old lady at whose house he stayed, in showing him to his room. said : “ It ain’t anybody I’d put in this room. This here room is full of sacred associations to me," she went. on. “ My first husband died in that bed with his head on these pillows, and poor .‘l r. Jenks died sitting in that corner. Some- times when I come into the room in the dark I think I see him sitting there still. My own father died layiu’ right on that lounge right under the window there. Poor pa. ho was a Spiritualist. and he allus said he’d appear in this room after he died, and sometimes T am foolish enough to look for him. If you should see anything of him to night you’d better not tell me. It'd be a sign to me that there was satizril.i"‘.' Eu Spiritualism, and I‘d hate to think that. My son by my first man fell down dead of heart disease right where you now stand. He was a doctor, and there are two whole skeletons in that closet there belonging to him, and half a dozen skulls in thatloucr drawer. If you are up early in the morning, and want something to amuse yourself with before breakfast, just open that cup- board there, and you will find a cc‘.l..-- tion of dead men's bones. My poor boy thought a lot of them. Well, good night, and pleasant dreams". ‘- w v a" ._ a Tale of a. Ring. A “h.
