FERTI I2ERS OF SmAta • FRUITS e'
shoulders soon: grow a corn cramp in a for-
est as expect a good strawberry crop
without the use of . manure. Wig are
aware that many believe in . letting the
blackberry fi d its .uourislrim i.t wlier'e
it can; and it is pretty. generally known
that it will aihrive well on soils _where
no
otherafrsit can grow ; but this does
not alter the fact that judicious fertilza-
aton on ;any soil wh i tever returns back
to the giver abundant crops of fruit
over grid over again. " The editor
has frequently- noticed the shab-
layiseatmexit of straw -berry patches here
sari there throughout the country, aaz&
has watched the progress of some, f
theme from the time of Wanting until
fruiting. In nearly every case where
manuring or cultivation was. neglected
the crop, of fruit was 'sin all and the price
realized very low. While, on the ot1)ee
hand, wherever the fruit -grounds Were
well I1_ manure('manure('and cultiv ted the ber-
ries were larger, sweeter, better; picked,
and brought a betel price in market.
Hence, we say, it pays to manure aall
kinds of appall fruit liberally. It will
never pay a -man to trust to the natural
'fertility of the soil, If he has a good;
quantity of sable or b�,rni ya •d n anu re
let hime apply it broadcast before the
planting, of as a mulch over the pleas
during the winter ; but where this iaa
arco or deals*other adieus must be
need, All fertilizers containing potash
aro splendid their effeete, A pound
of potash dissolved its a barrel of water
will snake the runners grow amazingly,
Wood -ashes -unleached - are, wiithout
doubt, the very best concentrated man-
-uure to be found. We saw a remarka-
ble instance of this last slimmer, when
a number of runners cut - off from the
-parent plant happened to be planted in
a field just where there remained the
- ashes of a bonfire : before the end of
the summer the runners .were larger
than their parents.. Since then we
have bought -up all the ashes wacould
find, and considered them cheap at 20c
per busheL—Horticulturist. .
COMPOS1TINc MAN:URE.S,—I do note
=claim this method to be the best possi-
ble, but that it is simple and expensive,
which are two very important items
where one, like . myself, hires- all his
farm work done. My farm has, prac-
tically,- inexhaustible beds of muck up-
em it. In manuring for corn, oats or
spring wheat, _I prepare my compost
heap in the fall and upon the ground
to be planted or sown ; for Meadow,
winter wheat, or other fall sown crops,
the compost heap is prepared in the
spring. A spring made compost heap
may be made su-ffiGiciently early to an
swec .for Indian corn or potatoes, -but-
not for spring wheat or oats. I take`
a load of barn -yard manure to the field
to start a heap µ; upon that I put a load
oaf nock, upon that spread from one to,
two bawls of unleashed castles, and up-
on that a ...other load of muck.: This
u rder 1: repeat again and again until
the heap is the desired size. The top
is left flat to catch the rains: Thus one
load .of yard manure makes three loads
when thus composted, and, in my expe-
rieuce and ivy soil, the .esult is more'
saitif:zctory than if three loads of yard
manitr'e were used. The unleached
ashes come in contact only with the
muck— at fi=st, where their -best eff^itis
are' produced. It might be well- to
Stag c el over these heaps several times,
but in the winter it cannot well be
done, and is always no small item of
e_ pease.. I only disttirb them when
wanted, and let the loading and u. ulnad-
ing, the spreading and hal rowing, do
the mixing. The results have been so
satisfactory have not tried to improve
upon the method. I should, 'perhaps,
-observe here that this compost is never
plowed under, but :applied to the sur-
face, and as thoroughly pulverized and -
comnliugled -with the soil as -a harrow
will do it., Alrplied to -;meadows, it
should be bushed or dragged after
-spreading ; rains will do the dissolving.
Where one has a manure cellar, or fa-
cilities for catching the urine -- of ani1
mals, and hogs to do the mixing up and
working over, more - manure could
.-doubtless be made by carting the muck
kc the barn or yard, ` and adding it to
the aminal excrements from day to days
or time to time, as required. The plan
above given commends itself, more es-
pecially where such conveniencies are
not at hand, or will not: pay, and, more
.especially, where the daily supervision
.of the pro rrietor is inconvenient or im-
-possible. The muck receives and re-,
tains all the ammonia; and the unleash-
,ed ashes are benefiei l , in more ways
tnan one. While upon the subject of
manures, - I will allude to .one source=of
very valuable -manure that is very
erten overlopked in the country.:- -If an
animal dies, it .is most invariably drawn
to some out-of-the-way place, and left
there to decay and stink itself away;
If cut up and mixed with horse manure
and dry muck,it may -decompose by
lthe house or barn, without giving to
the •nasal organ disagreeable evidence
sof its presence, and yields a load of
stain tee -rich in . phosphates.—O. C.

OVI#RSTOOIHING . PASTURES: The ef-
fect
ffeet of overstocking pastures was very
forcibly set forth some time .since by
Mr. Jameson, in the Coventry Gentle
man. Many pastures, he.says, are so
overstocked that the roots of the grass
and the -whole plant are kept so small
that itgis growthis feeble, and not half
the feed is afforded that the land would
produce if stocked lightly a year or two
and the grass, allowed to get a good
f
thrifty start. He refers to pastures in
his vicinity whlere double the stock are
sustained than ori adjoining lands that
have been habitually overstocked.
:Lands that a overstocked not only
yield less food, but the animals pastur-
ed upon them Make a less yield in beef
or milk than when the stoek is inu pro
portion to the capacity of the lands for
a
producing the food.
DRAINING WHIA'r LANlls.a We ob-
serve in the wheat fieldas, in aa..great
many instances, even on graAelly soils,
that the -wheat- on the crown of the
lands as blowed, say for t -lie width of
three or four furrows, -was dark colored,

slopes, near and 'in the dead furrow, it

A victim of ndiaan vengeance tarty..
ed in, this city n Saturday night, dot,
parting yesterd y for his home in Mon-
roe County, Nw York: His. names is
Delos G. Sandl$ertson, and he lost his
scalp at the battle - of Washita. Per-
haps the- sensations experienced by
Mr. Sandbertson will . interest and en-
lighten. He says :
"1- was in the infantry. , Custer had
command - of the troops. There was
quite a force cif cavalry with us, but
they were about a `mile in the rear
when ;we first! - discovered the reds.
Some ;of the troops had been sent
around so as to attnek from the other
side. The reds were camped in a sort
of valley, and - we were wijthin eighty
rods of them for half' an lhour before
daybreak. Just in the ray of the
morning, the .fl-ing commenced on both
sides, and we had it all our own for a
few minutes, the cursed Elnakes being
much confused, and not, knowing what
was up. At length they rallied, and
we could hear.'; Black Kettle shouting
and ordering. The vermin got into
holes and behind rocks—anywhere
they could find a place, and began to
fight with a will. We fired whenever we
could see a top -knot, and shot squaws
=where was lots of them—just as quick
as Indians, vie just went in for whip•
ing out the whole gang. • When it was
fully daylight, we all gave a big yell
and charged right down into camp.
The lodges were all a standin g yet, and
lots of Indians in them. As we run
through the alleys, a big reel jumped,
out at me frons behind a tent, and be-
fore 1 could slierten-up enough to run
hire through with my bayonet, 'a squaw
grabbed me around the legs and twisted
me clown. The .camp was then full of
men :fightiegl and everybody seemed
yelling as loud as he could. When I
fell, 1 went over backward, dropping
my gun, and I just got part way up
again, the, squaw yanking me by the
l air, when the Indian. clubbed my gun
nd struck me 'across the neck. He
-might just as well have run me thro',
but he wasn't used to the bayonet or
didn't think: The blow stunned 'me
it didn't hurt.in the least, but gave me
a numb- feeling all over. ` is couldn't
have : got to: my feet then if alone,
while the squaw kept screeching and
pulling ray hair out 'by handsful. I
heard one of -our boys shouting close
by, and the squaw started and ran-
one of the boy ' killed her not three
yards off. The Indian stepped one foot
on my chest, and with his hand gather-
ed up the hair near the .crown of my
head. '; He wasn't very tender about it
btii jerked niy heal this way and that,
and pinched like Satan. My eyes were
partially open, and T could' see the
bead -work and trirrniings on his leg -
gins. Suddenly I felt the' awfulest
biting, cutting flash go round my head,
and then it seemed to me as if my
-whole head had been jerked clean ul .
I never felt such pain in my life ; why
it was like pulling my brains clean out.
I didn't know any more for two or
three days, and then I came to find that
I had the sorest head of any human
that ever lived. If the boys killed the
viper, they didn't get back my scalp ;
perhaps it _got lost in the snow. I was
shipped back to Laramie after a bit,
and all the nursing I got hain't made
the hair grow on the spot yet.—Detroit
Free Press, 15t1.
