FOlt FARM AND GARDEN. BPRKADINO MANURE FROM TILES. The habit of dumping manure from tho wagon or sleigh in small piles is wasteful both of time and manure. Comparatively fow men can'spread ma¬ nure from piles so as to cover all the ground, much less to cover it evenly. Tho matter is inado still worse by leav- ing (he manure piles to lie several days or weeks before being spread. The iolublo parts of tho raanuro aro washed into tho ground, aud if over/ partiolo of tho visible manure is removod, tho spot will yet bo richer than tho space surrounding it. USES OK SOFT CORN. “The difficulty in kooping tho softer cars of corn has undoubtedly lo l to wastefulness iu its me. Tho old-fash¬ ioned way was to throw this cora on tho ground nnd loavo tho hogs to gnaw tho gruin off tho oars. This was wasteful in several ways. It mado tho pigs’ teeth sore, the nutriment in tho cob was lost, and tho grain being damp ofton soured on tho pigs’ stomachs aud gave them indi gestion. There ii probib'y no food harder to digest than this soft corn. Cows or sheep that havo a double di¬ gestive apparatus handle it best. Cows eat corn with the cob and are able to digest most of it. 8 loop will pick the grain off tho cob, but they digest so much better that they will benefit from this feed more than any other farm Block. But the better uso of ho ft corn *s to spread it thinly, so that it will dry out, and then grind corn aud cob to¬ gether, mixing in enough outs to enable the mill to pulverize the cob instead merely reducing it to chunks.— Ameri- ran C'u’tivitar .' WATERING COWS. ; The belief that when a cow drinks too muc's water the milk is poor by ex¬ cess of water is not at nil probable; i i- deed, it seems to be pliysiolog cally im¬ possible, although, of course, no oac knows precisely what goes on inside of an animal. Hut from what is known of the origin and character of the milk it ii reasonable lo infer that if water is drank in excels of tho actual needs of mi animal it cannot ntTcct tho milk at ull nnd the excess of water passes off through the kidneys and tho skin. If, as is believed, the milk is formed by tljc breaking down of the lobule3 of tho milk glands it is not possible that it can becomo thinner or more watery by any amount of water d:ank. O.herwiso we must believe Hint tho whole of tho tissues of tho animal ate excessively charged with water, a a effect which has never been perceived, The Water drank is ab sorbed into the blood, an 1 tho 6ensa- tion of thirst is duo to a want of water in tho blood which is supplied by drinking. Wo do not think it pos- •ible that any animil svill drink luore water than is required to moist ;n the food sufficiently for digestion aud to maiuta n the proper fluidity ol the blood, and wbatevor excesi of it there maybe will pass iff through tho kid¬ neys. Cows should not be stinted ol «nter, but should have all thoy w.ll drink.— X Y. Times. IDEAL BUTTER MAKING. Though of late yoars miuy iuiprovo- m nts have been made in butter mak¬ ing, and much has boon learned as to how the milk should be set, tho tune in which the cream should laisc and the temperature at which it sheu’d bo churned, the indications nosv aro that the next groat need will bo a practical invention whereby the cream from each con 1 can be kept and churned by itself. As a rule man can govern in matteis of time, speed and temperature, and bring them into working harmony let¬ ter than he can bring about that exact uniformity in tho buttor- making quali¬ ties required iu dairy cows, for tbo best possible results in butter making uuder the present methodj of setting uud churning. In other words, allow tho inilk of each cow to vary at times as it may from its own average standard, or from the average of the herd, but give us a practical method of getting from the milk of each the most and the best but¬ ter it is capable of producing. When we havo this we will be as far advanced in profitable dairying as the enthusiast expects to be when he has a herd so carefully bred that-the milk of all the cows is exactly aliko; requiring a uni¬ form treatment throughout from the setting of the milk to the final taking of the butter from the churn.— Farm, Field and Stoakman. STORING AWAT. Beets, carrots, ( parsnips and salsify will be the better in pitting out if they come in direct contact with the soil, and in storing away a very good plan is to make a trench sufficiently large to hold the quantity it is desired to store, and put in and then cover with a sufficient amount of soil to keep out the frost. Potatoes and turnips should have a gool layer of soil put on the bottom and over them before covering with soil. With app'es sod cabbige a gool plan is to dig out the trench the proper size, nnd then put in a go id layer of straw, put in the apples orciblage, at each end set up a stout forked stake, nnd into this lay a good stout pole so as to bo at least a foot above. Take boards and lay so that one ea i will rcit upon the ground and tho other upon this pole, and first oa both sides put a thin layer «( Straw over tho boards, and then cover with soil. This keeps them cleanor, makes them easier to get at when wanted, and for these two things especially, will be better than to hava been put away the same as potatoes. A trench should always bo dug around on the outside, so that good drainago can bo readily afforded. This is very important for tbo reason that if they get damp they are easier injured by frost. Luto in tho fall or oarly in wintor, after tho ground has frozen hard,it will pay to put on an additional layer ol soil. In order to bo suro that this is done ovenly, tho bettor plan is to begin at the bottom all around, and build up gradually, keeping tho proper thickness aud making deep enough to keep out tho frost. This will be found u better plan than to put on all the covering at one time. AVhcn intended for long keeping, unless tho collar is above the average, if tho work is properly done, pitting-out is preferablo to putting in tho cellar. A supply, however, for mo during the winter, can be put in the cellar. When this is done boxes can be mado and set threo or four inches fiom tho wall and bo set up on scantling, so as to raiss them a little from tho ground. This gives a much better circulation of air, and sccuros a more even tempera¬ ture, nnd this is quite au item in keep¬ ing the products in u good condition. Generally they will keep better if tho tompernturo is kept low and even—as near freezing as possible without run¬ ning too much risk of injury. This objection to tho majority of cellars is that thoy are too changeable, nnd what is stored iu them does not keep as well ns if pitted outside.— Prairie Parmer. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Don’t breed the sosvs too young. Ice svatcr svon’t warm your stock. Did you ever try dry bran for pack¬ ing apples) The cold cow gives cold comfort to her owner. Bran is better than c rn to keep off the thumps. You can nosv plan, if not plow, for tho next year’s crop. As the roads grosv worse the loads should bo mado lighter. Something does not cams from noth¬ ing in the cow-keeping bminesi. Don’t forget to protect those young grape vines you set out last spring. Jf you have seme long manure that you wish to put to good u e, spread it among the raspheri oi. A few pules with plenty of straw over them will make a better shelter for tools than a snow bank. Cane or sorghum seed is fed to fowls with g j oil results. It stimulates egg prorl iction and iu many ways is good fur a change. When the rials are wet and slushy with snow take more than ordinary care ia cleaning (lie horses’ legs and heels and wiping them dry. Assort your soldi aud make a list of what you nee 1 for this year's planting. Do it nosv, nnd when the opportunity ccmes for buying, you svill know just what you want. Those whose cows all “came in” last spring will soon find that tho dollar will not “conio out” so freely as it ought to when butter and milk ara high, beeause then tho yield of the cows will be at tho lowest. Eirly picking of apples improves their keeping qualities, but no differ¬ ence is manifest for nearly six months after picking. If kept for a longer period than six months the early- picked rpplos show a do titled gain over those picked late. Australian Games, Tho game of Australia, as every one knows, ii peculiiti'i Tuat Country, not having shared (lie glao’id epoohs which mado so many chdugos in tbo fauna of the rest of tho earth, has rotaiued de¬ scendants of the most primitive fami¬ lies of tho mammalia. Nearly all its larger animals are marsupials, or pouched animals; kangaroos, wollabys, wombats, so-called opossums, flying- foxes, mountain-kangaroos, and what not. The “old-man” kangaroo is the only one of the large animals which makes a game defence when hunted, but he often kills the dogs, and some¬ times even rips open a horse or a man with the powerful claw on his hind foot. When to Wind Tour Watch. A dry goods merchant and a joweler were going home together on a street car nt the close of their day’s labors, and the former drew from his vest his handsome watch and proceeded to wind it up. “This isn’t the right time of day to do that, ” said his friend. ‘ 'Every watch should be wound at home the first thing in tho morning, so that the fullest tension of the spring mty be upon tbo movement during the jarring of the owner’s footsteps while he is up and aivako. This will save frequent regulation of the time-piece. Try it for a month or two and you’ll bo sur¬ prised at the improvement in your time.” Misunderstood. Snodgrass (to Grocer)—Those apples I got from you were not half bnd. Grocer (cheerfully)—I’m glad you liked them. “Y'es; only about a third of them were bad.” t QUAJNT and curious.

The Care of the Eyes. Sit erect in your chair when rending, nnd as erect when writing as possible. If you bend downward you not only gorge the eyes with blood, but the brain ns well, nnd both suffer. The same luie should apply to the use of the microscops, Got one that will enable you to look at things horizon¬ tally, not at Mays vertically. Have a readiug lamp for night use. N. B.—In reading, the light shoul l l;e on the book or paper nnd the eyes iu the shade. If you have no leading lamp, tuin your back to the light, and you may read without danger to the syos. Hold the book nt your focus; if that begins to get far away, get spectacles. Avoid readiug by the flickering light of tho fire. Avoid straining tho eyes by reading in the gloaming. Beading in bed is injurious, as a rule. It must be admitted, however, that- in cases of sleeplessness, when the mind is inclined to ramble over a thousand thoughts a minute, reading steadies the thoughts and conduces to sleep. Do not read much in a railway car¬ riage. I myself always do, however, only in a good light, and I invariably carry a good reading lamp to hook on behind me. Thousands of people would travel by night rather than by day if the companies could only see their way to the exclusive use of their electric light. Authors should have black-ruled pa¬ per instead of blue, and should never strain the eyes by reading too fine types. The bedroom blinds should bo Ted or gray, and the head of the bed should be toward the window. Those ladies who not only write, but sew, should not attempt tho black seam by night. When you come to an age that sug¬ gests the wearing of spectacles let no false modesty prevent you from getting i pa r. If you have only one eye an jjeglass will do; otherwise it is folly. A Feature of Mexico. A great feature of Mexico is the parks, or plazas, as they call them. No matter how small tbo town or poor the houses they will have a beautiful plaza and in the evening they will have bands of music and singing. I never heard a poor band while I was in Mexico. Tho language is tho softest nnd most beautiful I ever lieard, and listening to them talking or singing in the plazas you seem to be in a land of poetry. Sarcasm. What ccula be more sarcastic than the another spiteful remark made by one woman “Do to of a mutual friend? B--pretends yoti know that little Mrs. don’t to be a collector of antiquities? You bclievR she really has any, do you? “Oh, yes; her certificate of birth, to begin with,” M'as the ironical remark. Ungal¬ lant comments upon the fair sex furnish many ironical items.

But the wo¬ men do not always come off second best.

A Lesson in Grammar. The use of the words “sit” and “set” is well defined in the following example: A man, or woman either, can set a lien, al¬ though they cannot although sit her. neither can they set on her, the old lien, might sit on them by the hour if they would allow. A man cannot set on the wash bench, hut he can set the basin on it, and neither the basin nor the gramma¬ rians would object. He could sit ou the dog’s tail, if the dog were willing, or he might set his foot on it. But if he should set on the aforesaid tail or sit his foot there, would the howl. grammarians as well as the it dog And yet, strange as may seem,the man might set the tail aside and then sit down, and neither be assaulted by the dog nor the grammarians.

In a ton of cork there might not be five pounds of the ma¬ terial perfect enough to be, used in this fine class of work. The steadiest of nerves is also a part of tho programme of success, as the slightest slip of the knife or chisel is death to the result. Barristers and Attorneys. There arc two classes of lawyers in England, one being called barristers, the other .attorneys. When a case is to be tried, the attorney who haB taken it from the client, gets up the evidence and pre¬ pares the papers, in short, does all the work necessary to bring it into court. There the attorney retains a barrister to conduct the case in court. Hence, bar¬ risters rank higher than attorneys. We often sec the letters Q. O. written after t lie name of a barrister.

A Short Name. In a town in France an odd fact came to %ht at the registration of the birth of a child. The happy father was asked the maiden name of his wife, to which he an¬ swered : “Rose B.” “Well, how do you spell it? Bee, By, Bey, or how?” “Just simply initial, B.” That cannot be. B is only an not a name.” “It is the only name my wife ever had until she married me. Neither she nor any of her family have ever had any other name than just B, neither more nor less. They could hardly have had less, and an examination of the record showed that they had really never had more. Beyond doubt the B family bears the shortest name in France, perhaps of in the world. Only one other name equal brevity is known, and that is the name of a place. About fifteen miles from Peronne, on the Ham line, there is a commune known as Y. It has some two hundred inhabitants. The ori¬ gin would of be the name Y investigate is unknown, and it curious to the origin of the patronymic of the B family.
