The method of handling manure on

ou which stock is kept lu stalls. Ite-
hlnd each row of cow I a gutter
clghtisMi Inches wldo and seven Inches
disip. These gutters have no outlets.
They are thoroughly donned dally.
(The whole burn Is disinfected twice
a week, nnd the Interior Is frequently
whitewashed.) When cleaned the gut
ters are sprinkled with ashes or dry
dirt to absorb what moisture tuny be
present. During the day a quantity of
nbsorbeiit, consisting of leaf mold,
rotten sod, etc., Is placed lu them.
Each gutter ends near a door. The
mnnuro Is lifted from the gutter Into
a cart backed up to the door. The
cud of the gutter next the door is
slightly lower thnn the other end. One
man lifts the mnnuro with a fork and
places It In the lower end of the trenc.
A second mnn then lifts It Into the
curt In this manner tho Uquld ma
nure Is all got Into the cart Finally
tho fragments that remain In the
trench nre swept to tho lower end nnd
removed. The cart goes Immediately
to tho field, and the manure Is sprend
nt once. Iu.auinmcr It Is sprend on
the land froiii which tho soiling crops
nre removed. In winter It is spread
ou the rye nnd grass fields, on the Int
ter particularly when the ground Is
too soft to phice it upon the rye fields.
No manure U used ou newly seeded
grass lands, but the second and third
yenr grass fields nre top dressed in

Blnce this account was first present
ed In 1003 nuirked economic chnngea
have occurred, which, If this fnrm
were still In operation as It wns then,
toould materially affect the profit ob
tained. Most of these change relate
to the price of concentrated feeding
stuffs. The writer Is of opinion that
nuder present conditions this farm Is
smaller than a dairy farm ought to bo.
especially before the land has .been
mnilo exceedingly fertile. It Is now
vory desirable to havo the dairy farm
largo enough to penult growing nt

To Modal Ships Aft.r Bat.
The new system of preventing col
lisions at sea proposed by Sir Hiram
Muxlm Is basis on a theory of the
bat's sixth sense. A century ago Abbe
Spnllanznul proved thnt bats could pur
sue and catch Insect without seeing
them. The vibration 'or waves from
a bat's wings, though of too low fre
quency to produce Bound, are reflected
buck from obstacles they strike, and It
Is supposed that the but la able to de
tect the reflection and thus to guide
its flight. Poundlugs for similar echoes
could be mnde on shipboard. With a
wave generator of 200 or 300 horse
power, vibrations could be sent out of
alsiut the same frequency as those of
a bnt and It Is believed that they would
be reflected from five miles awny suffi
ciently strong to be detected. A trial
apparatus has been mnde by 'Sir Ill-ram.
Lightning Stroke Investigated.
The results of an exhaustive Investi
gation of lightning strokes In the Unit
ed States by the department of agri
culture disposes of the notion that
certain kinds of' trees are immune
from these strokes. It asserts that
any kind of tree is likely to be struck
by lightning. It shows that the Colo
rado plateau has more strokes than
nuy other section.
Stretching Tight Fitting Shoe.
A tight fitting shoe can be stretched
by filling It tightly with onts dampen
ed In wnter nud packing some old pa
per In the top. The grain will quickly
swell, nnd, ns the leather will get sof
tened by the dampness, the shoe will
be rapidly stretched. Allow time for
the onts to dry before removing them.
