the true farmer should as tar as possi

the support uvi coniferl of the family,
lie ought to inske his home comfortable

! APPLYING MANURK IN WIN
IK R.
If tho soil is properly prepared ma
nare may be applied to advantage a'
any timo of the year, so that it does not
iQterferu with other more pressing work
If land is ploughed in the full for eoju,
: in no way can manure be more advanta
geously applied than by hauling it out
in the witner and scattering it over the
ploughed ground direct from ihe wagpn,
the whole to remain so until the follow
ing spring, when, by running '.he barrow
over it; it will not only thoroughly in
termix tho manure with the Soil (a mat
ter of tho greatest moment), but place
the latter in the best pussiblo condition
for checking off preparatory toplauting
Hut the greatest advantage of this mode
of applying uiaimic for corn is that the
fertilising properties of the manure tie
coiue completely absorbed by the surface
soil, and is iu its most soluble condition
to be appropriated as soon as needed by
the feeder rootlets of the young onri ,
giving it a most healthy and rapid
growth in the start. Not only .■■■>, but
by scattering 1 i» dueot ir« ui the wagon
the woik is not only d.me quicker, but
the manure is more cvenl) distributed
over the field if thrown iu hi ips to hand
loallcred in the spring. By scattering
it direct from the wai'oij ih -w.u k, e,
is all done at ance; whereas, if tm kii
into heaps to remain so uutil spring, u
considerable portion of its propertie is
either washed awsy by rains or sinks
into the ground, leaving spots where tho
heaps stood too highly iimum-ed for the
balance of tho field, theicbv toceasionitig
loss iu the general yield of the crop.
Another thing, in hauling out manure
over ploughed ground in win tor much
unnecessary labor to the horses, ss well
as weir and tear o' the wagon, particu
larly when the ground in f'Oi n, may bo
aviiled by hauling U tho way the fur
row* ran instead of across thetu. Nor
mould it bo attempted to seaner th"
■uanure over too largo u Hurt,ie». Like
ail ••her « >tl> on the farm, what is worth
doing " all is worth doing well, and it is
m TO profitable to manure five acres well
:han to hill manure ten acres, the labor
nf enltrentrrijr tlm latter tieing d..iibl«
that of the former und the rmld about
luesame. The work of mating and tip
plying manure isceituinly the moat im
portant tha' en engage the attention of
the farmer, and, he shoul J ino to it that
in the application noue of it is lost, aud
hat the laud on which it is applied is
all ben filed alike. And then, Ytith
buroughlv prepared soil, carefully ae-
Icoted seed and tliorugU cultivation, he
may rest easy about the yield.— Balti

however, any more than down his mas

cures, if given the chaucc. Good can j
! and judicium feeding should bo given,
i if one desires good looking and healthy
I annual*.
A great uianv farmers feed too raueb
hay and too little grain, espeoially in
I knew of ona man who some
years ogri kept Ins horse eating hay all
the tunc, alio was thin in flesh. Nearly
every time ho went to the bam, if her
i hay was nearly gone he would put anotb
i ir forkful into the unugor to make sure
I i she had enough to oat. He fed little
- i rain, however. Finally he changed
' | 1 lift program somewhat, by feeding regu
i larly Ibrce times a day und giving aht
■ , ile more grain, when the uure begau to
gaiu. A great tuauy horses have been
f ruined, by improper feeding iu the win
: ' ter sea'on.
I I On a great many farms there is but
' ! little work to be done in the wiuter sea'
sou, ao the horses are allowed to amid
in the bain most all the time, devouring
great quantises of hay, and receiving
but little care and exeroiie. This prac
: tiee needs to bo changed. Do not over
feed, and be sure, that the horses receive
proper exercise, even if \ou have to
j hitch them up lor nothing else than to
I give your wife a pleasant si iyb ride. No

used. Aficr a day's work, 1 make a

GO AHEAD.
There is DO class of enterprise that
should meet with mors encouragement
and be welcomed more heartily than the
establishing of productive industries in
1 the midst of a community. To any
| thoughtful mind it must be obvious that
capital and administrative ability em
ployed iu ntiiiiing the raw uiatcriil pro
duced at homo, aid both feeing employ
ment to our people, and attracting skill
ed artisans to settle amsnj us, must be
I of incalculable benefit to nut city.
No sueb work can be carried forward
; - -whether its promoters havo auy such
r purpose iu view or no—without helping
iu many ways the whole community in
which it operates.
It seems to us that where any raw
1 material is largely ptoduced, aud the
means aud men are on, or can be brought
to th« *pot to work it, there, and not
liundredH or thousands of miles away, is
toe place where much of it should be
converted into tin state in which it is u
tiluud by mankind.
Tbo most independent and prosperous
comai(mines are those where varied in
tries prevail, and wnerc tho greater part
of the necessities of life are produced
and manipulated into their different
j forms of une.
With splondid natuial advantages,
this should become a great matiufactur- j
ing diitiiui, and the signs of the times
are beginning to read that way.
ft itbin a few years we have seen es
tablished many industries among us,
and otheis of considerable magnitude
are uudcr way.
Yes, welcome cotton factories, funi
turc factories, spoke and handle works,
cloth ng factories aud so firth. These

I 1 have convinced myself that grass
is indeed the sheet-anchor of the farmer,
or rathor increase, tbo fertility of our
laud, we must grow grass and feed it
out at home, and like tho Eastern farm
er utilize oui corn stover. Tin* means
keeping more oattle. Tho raising of
ereps to turn under is well enough
lif carried out, but iu my experience
the most profitable time to to turn un
dor peas, clover, and green rye is aftsr
it has passed through cattle. ' c can
not afford to do it before as a rule. Sow'
the land to rye in the fall, cut when
ready cither greeu or fur seed, return
au equivalent of uianuro broad-cast,
thon with onehorso turning plows, plow
; tho land, lotting a boy follow every
second or third furrow, and drop peas
in tbo furrow, narrow lightly and roll,
when you will, with an ordinary season,
get a Hue crop of peas aud crao grass,
wbioh as a foddvr is hard to beat when
properly cured so as to not lose the
