APPLICATION OF MANURES.
On planting land with corn many firmer
apread all the manure brondcaat over the
belli, ana then pat a handlul of aanea and
plaster ia each hill. In warm .oil and tan-
ay loams, tnia ia me cneapeat ana uest mode
of application but (lie labor of nianurinz in
Bt I oa .
the lull in addition to apreadintr broadcast '
ia more than farmers who work lor profit can
afford. I
It haa been said that cold and clave landa
nhould not be put to corn tliej ahtmid bear
bnuhsn train or traas. Uut many farmers
have no warm and sand loame for corn.
The r must plant comparatively cold aoila or
none. And all farmers must plant corn rath
er than buy it for tue cost of exchanging
their hay or iheir grain, to procure corn, ia
attended wt'h two much labor and trouble.
On cold lands, therefore, it may be proper
to apply a little manure to each bill. But
not a shovel full, which mane do as the onlj
dressing which the Geld is to receive for,
when all the manure ia put in tbe hill, the
ears at harvest will not weigh in proportion
to the stalk t.
To avoid this many farmers make use of
hods, Ibat will hold a bushel ol pulverized
manure, these hods are buckled on over
the planter's shoulder, and with a small tin
shovel he drops a quart or so, of the fertil
izing matter in each hilL This is much bet
ter than to pat in a large quantity since
the labor is less, and the harvest will be
greater.
IJut let the land be cold or warm, it is de
cidedly a bad practice to bury manures deep.
For corn, in particular, we want all the heat
we can get. Manures on the surface, or very
near it, create heat on rotting. We want
them to rot soon to aid the young corn in its
early slart.
But manures buried furrow deep are a
long while in maturing, and are of as much
service the second year as the first. And
farther when thej are buried deep under a
heavy award furrow, they are entirely lost,
aa any farmer will find, on actual!? trial.
It is safer and better to place afl the ma
nure on the suruce than to burr it with a
plough. A good harrow w ill do the job of
iiiiiiug any kind of manure w ith the surface
soil better than a heavy plough. Any far
mer can try this mode without much cost,
Farmer who plant on warm anils save the
labor of manuring in the hills. Still it is a
good practice to ue a.hes, or plaster, or
both, on each hill of corn. The cist of ap-
..!..;,. .i. 1.
plying these ia trifling since an active man
will dresa two acre in a day. The ashes.
&.C, should be put on immediately after the
seed corn i covered and before it comes ap
for then no weed or worm will be found
there, and the first hoeing is dune with little
labor. I'eWSmaa.

TUE .NEWSPAPER.
In no other way can so much, to vsrieil,
so aseful information be imparted, and under
circumstances so favorable for educating the
child's mind, a through a jodiriou, well
conducted newspaper. To lite in a village
was once to N abut ap and aninstrocted;
but now a man may be a hermit and yd a
riimnpolite. He may ie in the forest,
walking mdes to a post-office, having a mail
hut once a week, and ;et he tha.i be found
familiar with the living wurl l a the busiest
one In it. For the newspaper is spyglass
by which he brings near the most distant
thing a microscpe by which he leisuiely
examine the most minute object aa ear
trumpet by which he collects and brine
within hi hearing all that is taid and done
all aver the eartn a mascara full of living
picture of real hie, drawn not canvas
bat with printer' ink on paper. The effect
of liberalizing and enlarging the mind of the
yvang, and thi weekly commerce with the
world will be apparent to any one who will
ponder it. One a liberal education could
only be completed by foreign travel. The
ion of only the wealthy could indulge in thi
co-tly benefit. Bat now the poor man's son
can learn a much at home a a hundred
year ago a genileman could leara by jor
ne vine the world over. For while there are
tome advantage ia going into tha world, it
i the poor mati'i privilege lo have the world
come to aee hita. The newspaper i a great
collector, a great traveller, a great lecturer.
It i the common people' Encyclopedia
the lyctutn, the college.
CQF Never ask an editor to discontinue
your paper amil all arrearage are paid up.
Ask lor your bill ISrat, pay it ap, and then
discontinue the paper. Thi I the gentle
manly way of doing business.
SOLDIER'S HEALTH.
Jnteruting Suggetion$ and Ruommtndd
liont? ' The following: article, on " Soldier's
Health," is from Hall's New York Journal
of Health. It contains much valuable infor
mation for both soldiers and civilians I
1, In an ordinary campaign sickness dis
ablea or destroya three times aa many as the
sword.
S. On a march, from April to November,
the entire clothing should be a colored flan
nel shirt, with a loosely-buttoned cellar,
cotton drawers, woolen pantaloons, shoes
and stockings, and a light-colored felt hat,
with broad brim to protect the eyes and face
from tha glare of the sun and from rain, and
a substantial but not heavy coat when off
uury.
S Sun-stroke ia most effectually prevent
ed by wearing a silk handkerchief in the
crown ol your hat.
4. Colored blankets are best, and if lined
with brown drilling the warmth and dura
bility are doubled, while the protection a
against dampness from lying on tlfe ground
is annoHi complete. '
9. isever lie or sit down on the grass or
ire earth for a moment: rather ue vour
hat a handkerchief, even, is a great protec
tion. The warmer you are the greater need
for this protection, as a damp vapor is im
mediately generated, to be absorbed by the
clothing, and to cool you off too rapidly.
6. While marching, or on other active du
ty, the more thirsty vou are, the more es
sential is it to safety of life itself, to rinse
out the mouth two or three times, and then
take a swallow of water at a time, with
short intervals. A brave French general,
on a forced march, fell dead on the instant,
by drinking largely of cold water, when
snow was on the ground.
7. Abundant sleep is essential to bodily
efficiency, and to that alertness of mind
which is all important in an engagement ;
and few things more certainly and more ef
fectually prevent sound sleep than eating
heartily after sundown, especially after a
heavy march or desperate battle.
8. Nothing ia more certain to secure en
durance ana capability' of long-continued
effort, than the avoidauce of everything as
a drink except cold water, not excluding
coffee at breakfast. Drink as little as possi
ble, of even cold water.
9. After any sui t of exhausting effort, a
cup of coffee, hot or cold, is an admirable
sustainer of the strength, until nature be
gins to recover herself.
10. Never eat heartily just before a great
undertaking ; because the nervous power is
irresistibly draw n to the stomach to manage
the food eaten, ihua drawing oil that sup
ply which the brain and muscles so much
need
11. If persons will drink brandv, it is in
comparably safer todo so after an effort than
, belore. lor it can irive onlv a transient
strength, lasting but a few minutes; but as it'
can never be known how long any given ef-
fjrt is to be kept in continuance, and if Ion-
ger than the few minutes, the body becomes

13. II Irom any wound the blood spirts nut.
in jets, instead of a steady ticam, you will
die in a few minutes, uules it is remedied;
because an Tterv has been divided, and that
take the blood dirctt from the fountain of
life. To stop this instantly, tie a handker
chief or other cloth very bibsely between the
wound and the heart; put a slick, bayonet
or raoirwd between the skin and the hand
kerchief, and tw ist it around until the bleed
mg ceases, and keep it thus until the sur -

aeon arrives.

IT. A bullet through the abdomen (belly
or stomach) is more certainly fatal than if
aimed at the head or heart! for in the latter
cases the ball is often glanced off by the bone,
or follows round it under the skin but when
it enter the itomach or bowels, from any
direction, death i inevitable under all con
ceivable circumstances, but i scarcely ever
instantaneous. Generally the person lives
a day or two with perfect clearness of intel
lect, oiien not unering greatly. 1 he prac
tical bearing of thi atatenient is reference regimented there would be little if any otrik
to the treat future is clear. ing diversity of uniform. There is no need
18. Let the whole beard grow, but not fur lace or braid on the Blouse of the pn
longer than some three inches. This strength-Nate the v make good " maiks" for the en-
ena and thickens us growth, and thus makes
a more perfect protection for the lungs a
gainst dust, and of the throat against winds
and cold in winter, while in the summer a
greater pirspiration of the skin i induced,
with an increase of evaporation hence,
greater coolness of the part on the outside,
while the throat ia less feverish, thirsty and
dry.
19. Avoid lata and fat meat ia summer
and in all warm day.
20. Whenever possible like a plunge info
any lake or running atreain every morning
at toon at yon get up ; if none at hand, en
deavor to wash the bndy all over aa toon at
you leave your bed, for personal cleanliness
acts like a charm against all diseases, always
either warding the in on altogether or great
ly mitigating their severity ana shortening
their duration.
21. Keep the hair of the head closely cut,
say within an inch and a half of (lie scalp in
every part, repeat en the first of each month,
and wash the whole scalp plentifully in cold
water every morning.
22. Wear woolen stockings and moderate
ly loose shoes, keeping the toe and finger
nails cut close.
23. It ia more important to wash the feet
well every night than to wash the face and
bands of mornings, because it aids in keep
ing the skin and nails aaft, and to prevent
chafing, blisters and corns, all nf which
greatly interfere with a soldier's duty.
24. 1 he most universally sale position al
ter all stunnings, hurts ami wounds, is that
of being placed on the back, the head bring
elevated three or four inches only, aiding
more than any one thing else cmi (!, to
equalize and restore the proper circulation
of the blood.
25. The more weary you are after a mnrch
or other work, the more easily will you take
cold, if you remain still after it is over, un
less, the moment you cease motion, you
throw a coat or blanket over your shoulders.
This precaution should be taken in the wann
est weather, especially if there is even a
slight air stirring.
26. The greatest physical kindnos yrvi
can show a severely wounded comrade is first
to place hint on his back, and then run with
.all your might for some uuler to drink ; not
a second ought to be lost If no vrssrl is at
j hand, take your hat; if no ht, off with your
1 nhirt, wring it out once, tie the arms in a knot,
as also the lower end, thus m iking a bag.
open at the neck only. A iltet pcrsmt run
convey a bucketful half a mile in this way.
I've seen a dying man clutch at a Mingle
drop of water from the finger's end with the
voraciousness of a famished tiger.
27. If wet to the skin by rain or by swim
ming rivers, keep in motion until the clothes
are dried, and no harm will result.
28. Whenever it is possible, do, by all
means, when you have to use water for cook
ing or drinking from ponds or alugginh
streams, boij it well, and when cool shake it,
or stir it, so that the oxygen of the air shall
get to it, which greatly improves it for
drinking. This boiling arrests the process
of fermentatiou which arises from the pres
ence of inorganic impurities, thus tending
to prevent cholera and all diseases. 11 there
is uo time for boiling, at least strain it
through a cloth, even if you have to use a
shirt or trowser-lcg.
29. Twelve men are hit in battle dressed
in red where there ate only five dressed in
a bluish gray a difference of more than two
to one ; greeu, seven ; brown, six.
30. Water can be made almost ice cool in
; the hottest weather by closely enveloping a.

cloth, kent Dltutifullv wetted and exposed.

It is proper that th'e position of everv man.

While we acknowledge the duty of alle

country, by whomsoever administered, we
are against coercion. We are for peace.

will flee to their mountain fastnesses and
their morasses, and still carry on the war,
until ultimately their invaders will be driven
from their soil. They never will be cnn
quered. Then why make war upon them?
Why sacrifice tho'i-ands of precious live
