Manure.

md

Londen

Every farmer knows the value of mauure. It is the one cure for nearly every ill the

farm is heir to. Its abundant application makes the soil mellow and easily worked; it increases the power of the soil to absorb atmospheric moisture and resist drouth; it promotes the rapid growth of cultivated plants so that they crowd out the weeds,—on poor

land weeds will overcome cultivated plants, but on rich land the latter will overcome weeds); it makes early feed for aniuials in spring and late feed in fail ; it gives richer, more nutritious feed, bushel for bushel, ton for ton, than is obtained from poor land, and animals thrive incomparably better on it. Happy is the farmer that has his barnyard filled with rich manure now! It will make everything about him rejoice with the joy of plenty.

The action of manure is many-feld. lt meliorates the svil; it helps to prepare plant-food in the soil ;

the growing plants.

it supplies food to We cannot stop to discuss the whole manure question now, But we must remind our farmer friends that their most valuable supplies of manure mast come from their own barnyards. No commercial fertilizers can take its place They may form valuable aids, but the great mass of decaying animal and vegetable matter, rich in humus, they cannot supply,

If well trampled, so as to prevent im- proper heating of the mass, manure is bet- ter kept under cover ; otherwise, we would sooner have it in a well-made pile in the open yard, where no drippings froin build- ings wash it, Manure is improved for the first crop by piling over so as to shorten and reduce the coarse parts of the mass. It much better to handle and But this process of shorten-

also makes it plow under. lag and heating should not be allowed to go too far, or much loss will result. Manure kept over in a pile from spring till fall generally loses one-half of its;value.

When manure is hauled to the field it should be plowed under as soon as possible before drying, as the free ammonia which is held in tho water is lost by evaporation. It is beneficial to turn under a coat of long manure on heavy clay land, but the con- trary on light, open soil. Top dressing with stable manure is always more or less a wasteful practice, because you lose free ammonia and also lose the benefit of nitri- fication in the soil, which such manure turned under would promote. Commercial fertilizers are best used in connection with stable manure, because the latter supplies the organic matter without which the ac-

muese South African Company. One of the objects of the raid is said to be the re- plavement of the chartered company by a popular movement from the Jmperial Goy- ernment’s control. There is a strong feel- ing against the company and against Im- yerial contre! in South Africa, The lead-

ws of the ‘trek,’ however, say little or wthing about the chartered company, lsiming to base their proceedings upon concessions granted long betore the char- tered company existed. The new republic will be founded on the constitutional laws of the South Afcican republic, and is ex- pectsd tu attract men of high character and ability from all parts of South Africa.

In the neighborhood of 750 petitions were presented to the Commons in the tirst week of the session, to say nothing of

i. very large number tabled in the Senate. They relate chietly to Prohibition and the »bservance of the Lord’s day. The amount of work entailed upon the oflicials by the recording and fyling of these documents is immense. Among them is a petitfon from Peter Quigley, Mrs. MecCarthur, T.

Warburton, Dr. R. MeNeiil, of Stanley Bridge, New London, was chosen, He was proposed by Hon. William Campbell, of Long River, and seconded by Angrs McDougall, of Argyle, and unanimously supported by the con- vention, The following resolution was put ind carried unanimously :—

Resolved, 1st. That the time has arrived to cuttail the Legislature of this Province to one House of Representatives as the first and most necessary reform.

2nt. That no Jaw imposing taxes saall be passed until it is first submitted to the people and the principles well defined.

3rd. That the policy of issuing debentures or borrowing money in the abseace of public works or undertakings of general importance is not likely to alleviate the condition of the farmers of this Province

4th. The law reform is greatly needed, the simplification of our statues desirable, that even the Cattle Act is so mystified that the tendency is to increase litigation and unneces- sary expenses.

5. That until the Legislature is resolved into one branch or house, and the business of the country placed upon a healthy basis, a bill should be enacted requiring the represen tatives of buth houses to serve without pay or indemnity of any kind.

Gish. That we are opposed to the principle of non-resident representation for this Dis- trict, ana especially of making it the dumping ground for lawyers from Charlottetown,
