About biauare, A talk about saviog the manure may be trite, and perhaps it is oven true tbabthere ie nothing new to be said upon rho sabjeob, But if there is anystthjcot within the whole range of our farm emnomy that wilt boar repetition, itis this. And b1111510'jL10t the etmeo1) wine it should be brought freshly to the notice of those who aro Apt to over- look such details. WO are now entering upon the season for the production of the n 'or to portion the o oa'' ofmanure, I 94'0 or at least for its pro year's In 80911 man Wer that it eau bo saved nod utllizad, Muoll of the summee manurial product is wasted through being dropped in woods and lades, or upon rough pastures, which, by the way, 10 one strong argument ,ill fa - VOX' of soiling, a matter that wo will nob new digtese to follow, But because of this summer waste wo should use all the greater effort to save the manure that is produced while the cattle are housed, It has become somewhat the custom to 'Nay that be801100 commercial fertilizers are ao ooncentratod and so easy to handle and apply, that it has made us nogleotfui of home resources for manuring. This, I think, is a mistake. The outlay for chem- ical manures has bacon so great that it has forced many of us to pause end 'con- sider whether we had not some cheaper substitute. And this has led to suoh a sav- ing and using of animal manures during recent years, an was never before attempt. ed. Besides which, wo are constantly be- aming better farmers, and good farming means saving this animal produot and tip• plying it toward the growing of better crops. A few years ago there were many see. • frons where stable and barnyard manures were not recognized as having any corn - menial value, and almost anyquantity Y could be obtained tamed for the mere healing. Now it is difficult to find anyone who is willing to give it away, unless we go upon some of the groat western ranches, where they have yet to learn that no soil is wholly inexhaustible. In all efforts toward making or saving manure upon the farm, it should be remembered that the liquid portion of the animal's exertions constitute the moat valuable portion. This is rich in nitrogen, one of the most important and expensive elements of plant food. Another reason why it is valuable is that in this the nitro. gen is in form to bo quickly taken up by the plant. You do not have to wait for its effect upon the Drop until in can be made soluble, as is the case with nitrogen eon. tainod in solids. So in saving the manure of the stable, every effort should be made to absorb and retain the liquids. Tina can be very thoroughly done by using absorb. ants for bedding. The ordinary coarse budding, suoh as hay, straw or corn•atalka will hardly be effective enough, and if used should be in combination with something finer, such as dry muck or loam, or saw•' dust. These should bo spread daily, and cleaned out as fast as they become satur• atorh After removing it front the stall, this manure should be kept under cover, for if it is exposed to the weather the soluble portion Is soonwashed away u Y by the rains and the entire. m loses owes a large part of its fertilizing value. The liquids arthe first to be lost by this washing, and then the soluble portions of the solids follow. A oovered shed or manure pit, into which the manure can be thrown until such time as it is desirable to haul it to the field, is within the reach of anyone, and will repay its cost in a single season. A covered barnyard is still bettor, bus this is a matter requiring some outlay, and each must determine for himself whether the conditions will justify it. But sumo sort of protection no one can afford to go without. Those who try it, and in the spring haul the wasbod•out con- tents of the barn and to their fields, often apply a manure from which the fertilizing value bas nearly departed, and the chief good of which to the laud must be found in. its mechanical notion upon the soil. But one can hardly afford to bother with manure for that alone, especially when they may have itwtth so much more valuable qualities if they will only take a little trouble, Father's and Grandfather's Dairying. My grandfather, though a successful business man in some respects, was not an adept at dairying, said Mrs. S. M. Allen at arecant meeting of a farmer's institute, In summer his cows were turned into the road to go whore they pleased, and they usually traveled from throe to five miles a day. lb took all they could get to oat to sustain this great muscular exertion, while the produe. tion of milk was only a 0eaondary consider- ation. In the winter they were given the free neo of the barnyard, and allowed to sleep under the shed at night. They wore fed with damaged and male hay with no grain rations except occasionally little buckwheat bran, and on extremely cold .nights an extra "foddering" of buckwheat straw. 1f hie Daws had any drink they had to go nearly 000 -quarter of a mile to a brook, They went without water in severe weather. My grandfather kept throe oowa and had to buy butter for his family to oat. That was his way of doing the dairy business. My father's aim was to give his cows plenty of good nourieltigg foods, plenty of pure water to drink, as little entrain as possible compatible with good health, and to keep there as quiet and comfortable as possible at all times. In early summer when the grass is young and swept, his cows are tethered in a field, each with a rope about thirty feet, long. In this way all the cows aro Inept quiet. No running or hooking can be indulged in, and the cows can get all they want to eat without travelling all over the plane or the town. Later in the season, when the grass becomes short, my father outs green oats and peas growing together, and feeds the cows. Still later corn fodder and rations of wheat bran are fed. Ile always. keeps the 00000 in their stalls at night, n0 he finds by experience that they prefer it to lying on the ground in the yard. In the winter my father's cows aro kept in their stalls night and day. They are fed twice a day with hay, onoo with corn fodder and twice with wheat bran Ana corn meal mixed—four quarts of bran and two of meal. All their drink is givou warm, as by this method they will drink three times as much ae though the water were gold, and produce one-third more milk. As milk IS 80 per cont, water, no enw will produce much milk without plenty of water to drink. Tho cream is separated from the milk in a creamery and churned in a a ming churn, My father keeps six cows, three grade Jerseys And three natives. Ifo averages to make 1,000 pounds of butter a year, wh oil io sold at 25 "ante In sttlnntor and 80 iu winter, or for an average of 28 cents tlto year round, That amounts to $420 aunually,- Many Leaks in Farming.

A little blank book can be bought for three or four cents.

The dairy record tells other facts that are of importance, It tulle the influence of good or poor food on the cow ; of the weather ; of void or waren drinks ; of early ant or over ripe hay ; of sexual heat ; of exposure to snow storms andoold rains as compared with warm shelter ; and of protection against flies in mid-surnmer, and shade in. stead of the fierce heat of the pasture lob. It is something like a thermometer, as it notes all the changes that influence milk production, Tho man interested in his work, as well as in the results of his work, finds these facts of great interest and they spur him to greater care and activity. Farm Notes. A first requisite with all the brooding stook is that it should bo kept healthy.. This cannot be done without p lenty o f reg- ular e •ul r exercise. Do not shut them up for the winter and feed as if for market. When you select and mate your breed- ing stook, have 0 care to individual excel' lenco, as well as to pedigree. You cannot hope to obtain the most wholly satisfactory result without this combination of titan. ties. A question that enters largely into the profit of a crop is very often the cost of getting it to market. Gond roads help to- ward a solution of this problem. So does the feeding of the crops to gond stook, and thus marketing them upon the hoof. A lean animal of any sort can rarely be marketed at a profit. We know seine men who always begin to get rid of their stook, as they term it, as soon as they see the cost of feeding begin to run up in the fall. As a consequence they sell ab a pride that gives no profit for what they have a'ready fed, and when they discover this they at once cry that stook does not pay. Of course it does not in that way, nor would anything else if managed in the same manner. If you have stock, make your preparations to feed it to a finish, and then if there is any profit you will get it. Prepare now to haveabettorlruitandvege- table garden next year than you have ever bad before. There Is no ono thing that will so much add to your ur ha iueas heals] rand Y happiness, r p asperity. In planning and planting, it gives place to everything that you think could possibly be maele use of on the home table. One who has had a garden that was restricted to a limited range of the commoner vegetables, can hardly realize how much more valuable it becomes when you add celery and cauliflower and aspera. gus, strawberries and currants and goose- berries. If you aro having a garden, have one that is a garden in earnest and not the mere apology for one, The oat crop will be about the first to have our attention when the new season ootnes around. Many careful experiments have shown that it is not necessary to plough the land for this crop if itis to fol- low corn, A thorough working of the soil with the disk harrow puts it in condition for bringing the very best results. Keep this in iniad until sowing time, and it may aid you in keeping abreast of the season with your work, to bettor advantage than you have in the past, when you ploughed for Both oats and corn. We do not believe in alighting the preparation of the soil for any crop, but where labor can be saved it is the part of wisdom to do it. IRELAND'S BOY. DUKE, The Tooth ro. nor to Lcilo)ter Who bears tt Monkey on Illi) Croft. 13y the death of the duke of Leinster, who hud been politically and socially of but little importance and was little hoard of in England, his Little son, the marquis of Kil- dare, who was 0 year's old last Much, atm. ends to the title and to the estates, which are worth $230,000 a year. This canny little follow, who looks as if he would be hoard of in the world, with or without money, i0 now the youngest duke in the United Kingdom. His long minority will be beneficial to the estates, which are in the counties of hiealh and Kildare, in Irelmud. The young follow will have a brilliant fortune when .hs is of ago if the estates last so long. Carton, the duke of Leinster's family seat, is a large and imposiug house which contains some good pictures and a valuable library. The gardens aro very pretty, and the picturesque park is fatuous tor some of the finest old trees in Ireland and a beauti- ful avenue. Kilkea, the dower house of tie Fitzgerald family, is also a very nice place, with a de- lightful demesne. The late duke's mother was long a prominent and brilliant figure in soolety, but she and her husband both died comparatively young. She was one of bhe daughters of the second duke of Sutherland and a sister of the lobe duohoss of West- minster and Argyll. • The priests at Maynooth college will greatly miss the late duke, who always took a kindly interest in the work dote there. Ile leaves behind him a widow who a few years ago was regarded as the prat. tient woman in society. The duchess is a daughter of the first -earl of Eeversham, and w•aa born in 1864, so she is just 30 years of ago. The son and noir, Maurice, was born in 1887, and therefore many years must elapse before he can en- tertain at Carton house or Kilkea castle, The fifth baron of Offaly, who was created first earl of Kildare in 1316, was a valiant soldier Who assisted Edward II. in ltisScot- tislt campaigns and afterwards dieppersod the rebels in Munster and opposed Hobert Bruno, who had entered the north of Ire- land with an army. There is a tradition that the earl, while an infant was asleep in hi4 cradle at Wood- stock castle when an alarm of 'fire was mina. In the confusion that ensued the child was forgotten, and on the aervatlis returning to search for him the room in which Ire lay was fontd lu'nine. Soon after a strange noise was heard in ono of the towers, and on looking up they saw an tape, who was usually lropt (Ahained, carefully holding the child in his arms. The earl afterward, in gratitndo for his preservation, adoit•xl a monkey for 1110 crest. OU1t,R$NT TOI'IO8.. Widows seldom remarry in China, and widowhood le esteemed so a eolidltiun of the highest respectability, When a widow attains her fiftieth year the Government supplies her with a tablet on which nor virtues aro emblazoned, '911#0 in displayed over bite door of her house, There is but ono steelmaking plant In Japan, and the Japanese Government is oousldering the advisability of ostablisbing other steelwortcs.

At a performance in the Opera House, Wolliugton, some ladies seated in the stalls had on very large hats, A voice from the pit was heard to exclaim, " Now you've got the franchise yon ought to take your lata off 1" This suggestion was grouted with roars of laughter. It is remarked from Chicago that the ggros0 criminality of not removing the ex- hibits of foreign nations from the manufac- turers' Building was made apparent by the late destruction. Although two months have elapsed not more then half of the for- eign n exh ibtte had boon removed. m ed. All of th P domestic exhibitors had gotten away, for there wore no customs regulations to bother them. But the foreigners were not so for- tunate. They have complained bitterly about rile delays in the World's Fair Cus- tom House, but it did 110 good. In Japan they don't believe in a fire de. pertinent. The walls of their home are of bamboo, the partitions of paper. They burn like the scenery of a theetre. An Amerieau resident some years ago imported a hand engine, and its success "astonished the natives." But when he proposed that the authorities should create a modern fire departmet, they refused on the ground that if such machines should be brought in- to use they would deprive the carpenters of the worts they then had in rebuilding or re- pairing the combustible houses. - Dr. Maltaohran, Dominion Veterinat y Inspector, has returned to Montreal, after spending six weeks amongst the ranchers of the N orth-west. He states that he found the cattle on the ranohos in better condi. Mon this year than ab any previous semen. The winter so far this season had been very favorable. When he left Macleod no snow had fallen, and the cattle were oatgrazin The ranchero were in better g financial condition than ever in the history of the North-west cattle trade. Large sales had been made with satisfaotory re- sults and the cattle shipped to the English markets. — The fire losses of the United States the past year have been frightful. Their amount is net far from 5200,000,000, or nearly double the amount reached three years ago, when they were then almost un- precedented. If this destruction goes on, the time Innst come when fire insurance companies will either bo so near bankrupt- cy that they can undertake no more busi- ness or they will be obliged to charge such exorbitant premiums that the property to be -insured will not boar it. The losses will either eat up the profits, or products of all hinds purchased will increase in price. Should this time arrive, there can be but one remedy, and that is to build fireproof structures, then prevent the aoeumulatinn of inflammable material, and then keep the strictest watch upon the building and the contents. All or any of these =nettles will of course, add to the expense of business, and must ultimately come out of the pockets of the eousu ming pnbifc. The perils of foot ball as played now are shown by the statistics of the London Lan- cot,whioh cites 100 ease9 in 1822 that need- ed hospital treatment. Eleven were fatal and many others were fractures that will maim the victims for life. The game is still rougher in the U. S. As some oa0 says :— "In the old game you licked the ball ; fu tine Rugby game you kink a man if you can. not kick the ball ; in the American game you kick the ball if yea cannot kick a man," It is claimed, too, that these games in no way deteriorate from the scholarship of those engaged in them. But as President Schurmon, of Cornell sensibly remarks :— A foot ball player must give the larger part of his time to practice and preparation. So either these students aro favored by the faculty or the staudarcl of scholarship is ab- surdly tow." If the other students do not study any more than the foot ball players have time for, there cannot be much study- ing Clone. It to admitted, however, that athletics are taking the plaeo of hazing and other unmanly diversions in college and train men to be courageous, hardy and in- trepid. Worth the Money.

BALLOON WARFARE. Pelxolo of Brazil, Proposes to Rain [fiery Hull Upon Ills Enemies. Peixoto is becoming aweary of the war, and has hit upon an idea ea for bringing 't n P 1 to g a speedy ole. to is .getting a balloon made, from which he #«tends to sheerer fiery hail upon the rebellious hearts of Mel- lo's and de (lama's followers. From the some air -craft he will also cast dynamite bombe upon the fleet below. By this means he will truly get the drop on the revolu- tionists. An attack from above has impor- tant advantages over an attaok from any other direction. The assailant has gravita- tion on his endo, while tho attacked has it against him. There is no danger of TIES BALLOONISTS' 01ISSILBS • ailing short of their mark, no matter how wide they may be of it, and it is quite cer- tain that their force will not be spent when they strike. Moreover, the aim of a de- scending missile is more easily controlled than that of ono moving upward or horizon- tally. There is also economy in ammunition on the side of the aerial combatant as against a terrestrial or marine foo. He needs no gunpowder to generateprojectile force. At a point a mile above his enemy all he need do is to drop grape shot over the right place. Its momentum will carry it crashing through any naval vessel, and probably sink it. And at the same distance tits assailant is pretty safe. If Mello's insurgents are unable to get on land to attack Peixoto's 0 f tees orlon more will they 1 be unable to Y et in theairandFur- ther, grapple gwith them. Pur - g re Char, the balloon increases the utility of dynamite for war purposes. Heretofore the great drawback to the offensive use of dynamite was the difficulty of IIURLIi0O TITS B001R far Lnouglt to pat it at a safe distance from the thrower, whose remains were therefore likely to be a part of the carnage. Peixoto's balloon will overcome that. Anarchists will appreciate this. In future they can conceal their operations in the clouds, and from that height, unterrified and unmoleat- ed, they can look down serenely on their work of massacre and demolition. But Peixoto has yet to prove whether his balloon is workable. The chief military service hitherto rendered by balloons has been to command points of observation from which an enemy's position Intglit bo surveyed. But with his aluminum, dirigible, non -over• turnable, eleotrie•powor balloon, Peixoto proposes to go farther than this, and it re, morns to be seen haw tenth. If it is a suc- cess it will be likely to worry Mello's sea- sick marines. But it will surely be a hard vessel to travel in, as it is in the best shape to be tossed by the upper element, being spherinal. It will take some time for the orew to get their air logs on board such a craft. The development of the balloon as a wan' vessel makes easily imaginable It Mil. tonic struggle, in which armies rush to battle in tho clouds, columns wheel and meet in middle air, and the welkin burns from either end of heaven. Than would be a great sight over the beautiful harbour of Rio de Janeiro, where the populace have already been favonrod with some splendid spectacles of Mello's fine scenic warfare. My Clammy Assailant, The other night, after I had been in bed a oouple of hours, I awoleo Willi 10 start. it was pitch dark. I listened for tt mo- ment, trying to convince myself that T was mistaken, but I certainly hoard sounds downstairs. So, springing out of bed, I hustled into a few clones and crept boldly to the first floor, then paused to listen. Muffled sounds, as if a person were mov. inn, about, came up to me from the scullery. Without further hesitation I continued my advance, unlocked the passage door and again listened, the noise had stopped, but 1 could hear breathing not tar away. I put my hand in my pocket to get out the matches when something moved a few feet in front of me. "Now then, who's there?" I shouted, as bravely as I possibly could. No answer. "Conte out of that ; I know you are there," Still no anewer. I took a couple of steps forward, when an icy -cold and flabby hand was laid on my cheek. A shiver ran through my body and my teeth chattered. A second later I moved my Bead aside sharply and hit out, first with the right and then with the left fist, bringing them both m contact with the scullery wall and rasping the skin elf tho knuckles. Before I had time to assume the defen- sive, I was struck smartly on the other cheek by that Bold, moist hand, and as I duokod my head I caught it behind the oar. Tobe candid I was now thoroughly scared. A good bnlldogggy burglar I could have tackled, and without any trepidation but to bo hit about the head with ghostly flip - pars made me vivant to scream. After striking out hard in all directions, still keeping my footing, and bleeding pro- fusely in both hands, I paused, hot and flushed, yet shivering withal. It was then that I smelt a amen of Bah, and, striking a match, I cautiously peered round oto, to fled that I had boon attacked by a wet solo that my wife had hung up the nigint before, and which the cat had boort trying to get hold of, and load left swinging when I fright- ened her olf, sir But peace 1 I nest not, gtitirrel with the will of highest dtapensati0n,iWtticb, happily, hath ordsabove my remelt to know. T EGREAT BOUT ID Ensu iver t The Most Astonishing Medical Discovery at the Last One Hundred. Years. IIt is Pleasant to the Taste as the Sweetest Nectar:, It is Safe and Harmless as the Purest Milk. This wonderful Nervine Tonic has only recently been introduced into this country by the proprietors and manufacturers of the Great South American Nervine Tonle, and yet its great value as a curative' agent has long been known by a few of the most learned physicians, who have not brought its merits and value to the knowledge of the general 'public. This medicine has completely sola 3 the problem of the cure of indi- gestion, dyspepsia, and diseases of the general nervous system. It is also of the greatest value in the cure of all forms of failing health from. whatever cause, It performs this by the great nervine tonic qualities which it possesses, and by its great curative powers upon the digestive organs, the stomach, the liver and the bowels. No remedy compares with this wonderfully valuable Nervine Tonic as a builder and strength- ener of the life forces of the human body, and as a great renewer of h,- broken-down constitution, It is also of more real permanent value in the treatment and euro of diseases of the lungs than any consumption remedy ever used on this continent. It is a marvelous cure for nerv- ousness of females of all. ages. Ladies who are approaching the critical period known as change in life, should not fail td use this great Nervine Tonic, almOst constantly, for the space of two or three years.s. It will carry them safely over the danger. This great strengthener and cura- tive is of inestimable value to the aged and infirm, because its great energizing properties will give them a new )told on life. It will add ten or fifteen years to the lives of many of those who will use a half dozers bottles of the remedy each year. 'Tr is A GREAT REMEDY FOR THE CURE OF Nervousness, Broken Constitution, Debility of Old Age, Indigestion and Dyspepsia, Heartburn and Sour Stomach, Weight and Tenderness in Stomach, doss of Appetite, 3Erightful Dreams, Dizziness anc1 Ringing in the Ears,. Weakness of Extremities and f'''aintin, ' Impure gand Impoverished Blood, Boils and Carbuncles, Scrofula, Scrofulous Swellings and Ulcers, Consumption of the Lungs, Catarrh of the Lungs, Bronchitis and Chronic Cough, Liver Complaint, nt ] 1 Chronic Diarrhoea, Delicate and Scrofulous Children, Summer Complaint of Infants. All these and many other complaints cured by this wonderful Nervine Tonic. NERV 1 US DIES3EAS <t. S AS a cure for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been Ale to compare with the Nervine Tonle, which is very pleasant and harmless in all its effects upon the youngest child or the oldest and most' delicate individual. Nine -tenths of all the ailments to which the human family is heir are dependent 071 nervous exhaustion and impaired diges- tics. When there is an insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood, e. general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow, and nerves fs the result. Starved nerves, like starved muscles, become strong when the right kind of food is supplied; and a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nerves recover. .As the nervous system must supply all the power by which tho vital forces of the body are carried on, it is the first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not con- tain a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repair the wear our present mode of living and 'labor imposes upon the nerves. For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be supplied. This South American Nervine has been found by analysis to contain the essential elements out of which nerve tissue is formed. This accounts for its universal adaptability to the cure of all forms of nervous te- rangemont.
