A LIVE YANKEE IN LONDON-

A Live Yankee, from the green moun- tains of Vermont. visited the city of London. the principal thoroughfares of trade and travel, his attention was suddenly arrest- ed by some beautiful specimens of writing paper, exposed for sale at a shop Seeing the proprietor of the

establishment standing at the door, the

Yankee civilly enquired of him what he

did with “them nice bits of paper P"

“ “'0 keep them to tie gape seed in," said the Cockney, snappisbly.

“ Oh, ye du—du ye E" said Jonathan. while he looked as though he was invent- ing a trick with which he intended to pay off the impertinent cockucy in his own coin. Passing down thc street a few steps, our indignant Yankee saw another merchant. who was not only an English- man but a gentleman also.

“ I say, mister, can you tell me what that fellur dur. for a livin' what ltct‘ps them ere nice bits of paper at the Win— der ?"

“ Yes, sir, he is a small dealer in paper, and a sort of a scribe. lie writes letters for those persons who desire his assistance.

“ Ireckon he is a very small dealer, and that he is a p/larisec as well a. scribe. Du ye than he‘d writ: a letter for me if I pay him for it?"

“Certainly he will. and jump at the chance. That is his principal occupa- tion."

The Yankee thrust his hands (i might add arms) into his pockets almost up to his elbows, for he felt the sting in the waspish words uttered by the paper deal- er, and walked back to the shop where he had been so rudely treated.

“ I say, mister, they say as how vou sell paper and write letters for folks that can‘t write. \\'hat will yc tax me to write a letter to my sister Sally?"

“I shall charge you five shillings," replied the Englishman softening his tone.

" \Vill ye write jest what I tell ye, and spell the words right as we do in Var. mount P"

“ To be sure I will. business perfectly."

“ Well, I don't care if ye du; I' guess you may write to Sally."

The Londoner procured pen, ink and paper, and the Yankee commenced dic- tating after the following style:

“ ‘ Dear Sister Sally.‘

" Ilcv yc got thatdown P"

“ Yes."

“ ‘ 'Rived in London last week."

" Hcv ye got that down and spelt right ?"

" Yes—go on."

" ‘Tliought I'dc go into the country and take a ride."

" Got that down right?"

"Yes, yes—go on; don't detain me so."

‘ “ i pay yc live shillings, don'tI by and

by i"

" Yes, yest-but you need not detain me so."

“That‘s my business and not yourn. “ “'al the old mare baulkcd."

“ Baulked is a hard word; can you spell baulked so that Sally will know what it means ?"

“ To be sure I can."

" “'al, I don't cartfif ye du."

" She wouldn't go, so I licked her."

" Well, go on."

" Licked lien-licked Itch-licked her."

" Well go on."

“ Lickcd hep-licked her—-liclied her.”

“ “'hat's the use ofaaying it so many times?"

"None of yer business. I pay you five shillings—licked her-«licked her— licked Iicr~—lickcd her—licked her—— licked licr."

" This page is full oflickcd bar's."

“'I‘urn over then ; licked hcr‘lickcd hep—licked her—licked her—licked her. She would not go then. so I got out and

I kicked her—kicked her—kicked her-- kicked bcr—liickcd her—kicked her-— kicked her."

“ You are not intending to say that as many timcs as you said licked hcr."

"None ofyour business. I pay you five shillings; “ kicked lier——kicked her -—kickcd her—kicked her. She wouldn't go then so I sharpened the end of the whip handle, and I pricked ber—pricked her—pricked her—prickcd lier—pricked her."

“ I cannot see any sense in all this."

“ Never you mind, I pay you for what you do; licked her—kicked her—tpricked hora licked her—kicked her—pricked her—Iickcd liar—kicked her—prickcd her—pricked her—kicked her- —licked her—«licked her—pricked hcr—kickcd her. She would not go then. so I got in and I ' " (here the Yankee made a chirruping noise with his tongue and lips which bids defiance to othogrnphy.)

“ I cannot spell that," said the English- man."

“ Ob, yo can't spell that, ha? \Val, ya needn't write any more for me if ye can‘t spcll that."

“Needu't write any more said the cockncy with a look of astonishment."

" No more," said the Yankee, perfectly composed.

‘ Not a word to close with?‘

'Nary a uord.’

' You will pay no written.

Not a red. You didn't write down all I told a tu.

iror DRESSING cases.

A great deal has been written upon lthis subject. and yet it is not clear in the liiiiuds of all as to what is t':.e best thing for top dressing, nor what is the best season of the year to apply it. There can be no dispute on one point, that some such dressing is needed on grass lands from which crops have been taken year after your, and in some instances even afterwards pasturcd duringthe latter part of the season. As to the best top dress- ing. this will depend very much on the soil and location. It would he of no possible use for the farmer about Boston to apply gypsum, for it produces no good elfccts, while in some parts of the State, the interior counties, it does admirably. The same is true of some otlicrmauurcs, especially those called special manurcs. Ashes can hardly be appliedumiss,though we believe it produces better results in rather dry sails than on wet land. Night soil will bring,r out for one year a larg,” crop of grass, but its effects are soon gone. Salt lyc from the soap bailLrs when mixed with loam and used for top dressing, has almost invariably \icll re— paid the cost. Horse and other stable manure are, however, our chief reliance, and the remark is often made by farmers that they want nothing better than good stable manure. If it be conceded that grass land needs an occassiunal dressing. anti that liorsc manure is as conveniently and as cheaply obtained as any other fer- tilizer, then it should become the good farmer to yearly secure a good stock of it and mix it with loam. muck, or something else, even sand if it is to go on wet or meadow land, to prevent it from being injured by heating. llaving obtained the s!o:k of manure, the next question is as to the best time to apply it. Sonic say in thc Spring just before the grass is to start and when the frequent showers will carry down the strength of manure that none may be lost; others the Fall. that it may be gradually dissolved and the strcngtli soak into the ground through the winter; others say that immediately after the hay is cut is the best time.

Now it will depend very much upon circumstances as to when it. should be applied. Suppose the manure should be applied in July, as soon as the crop of hay was off, and then should come a drouth for four or five weeks without a shower of rain, would not all the manure be dried up and destroyed? If it is do- sirahle to apply itin the spring, it cannot always be done, for it often happens that at that season of the year the ground is so filled with water, that it could not be put on without great injury to the grass from the cutting up by the wheels and the injury from the animals employed in the carts used in carting the manure.

Again. ifapplicd late in the fall. sonic will say that much of it is lost before the grass roots can take it up and convert it to their use. There is no doubt that much is lost in spreading manure on grass at the best season of the year, and that each season has its advantages. \\"c are now having manure spread during those cold days on land that will not bear up a horse, unless it is frozen; but while in that state we can cart the dressing all over it. “'0 prefer oven in this case to have the manure spread just before a storm, that it may not dry up, and its good properties be dissipated. Ifn snow should come and lie all winter, so much the better. There is a manifest advan- tag: in manuring in the fall, especially: over mowing fields that have been fed rather closely; it will protect the roots of the grass that would otherwise be in. jurcd ; and another is, that it is not so busy a season of the year as either spring or July or August. Let it be one of the cardinal principles with every good far- mcr either to top dress his mowing fields as often as every second year, or else to plough tip and plant them once in three or four years.—Ziun's Herald.

lions 1N \errnn.—'I'hcre can be little profit in trying to put hogs in winter un- less one has a good warm place in which to keep them, and is willing to devote considerable time to the preparation of food, and to the general care of the ani- mals. Young pigs, for the want of such things, often become so stunted during the cold weather that they never will makc large hogs however well they may be kept afterwards. Large oncn take on fat vcry slowly when they suffer from cold. It is often necessary tokeep a few pigs to prevent the manure from heating and injuring. in which case it is better to procure those that will weigh from fifty to a hundred pounds each, and they will with what care they can receive make some growth, and at the same time do all that is needed to keep the manure in good condition—Ill.
