FARMANDGARDEN
The Proper Application
of Manure.
HAYING IN WET WEATHER,
Manuring and Enriching Properly
the Soil Is the Foundation of
Successful Farming.
To successfully keep up the fertility of
a farm while cultivating it Is something
that lies very near the foundation of sci
entific agriculture. And farmers who
understand this principle best and prac
tice it most are, other things being equal,
most prosperous.
I'ronerlv manurinir and enriching the
soil Is the lountiauon oi successim inrui
7. . r . . ., ...... i.-i i
ing, and ia deserving of the larmer
careful attention. The time once was
when there was an abundance of rich
virgin soil, when farmers could with
some excuse neglect the saving and man
nfacturinir of manures with which
fertilize their fields, and crop failures
were seldom heard of. But such a con'
dition of things, especially with much
of the country, is past ; there is a very
great different e now, and a failure to a
greater or less extent of crops is almost
sure to follow, unless the very best modes
of fertilization and cultivation be
adopted. We advocate fall manuring
where it is to be served to land by broad
casting, if over a firm subsoil and fairly
eve land, but not till In the spring 11
on very porous soils and hillsides. ei
ther is it a waste to manure thus or
excess of crops, unless on open or sandy
soils. But it is not usually the best econ
omy to make heavy applications, except
it be to bring up exhausted lanug, in ex
cess of the demands of the crop. For
with the farmer, as with the tradesman
or merchant, he wants quick returns on
his investments: .therefore, he should
aoolv iust what he thinks the crop needs,
and this over as much ground as can be
well cultivated.
If too much fertility be gained by ex
cessive manuring and the season be moist
and favoring large growth, gram crops
especially mav be injured by this over
feeding of the plant. There is forced an
extra urowth of stalk or straw, which
usually falls down, and the seed is thus
prevented (rom properly oiling and ma
turing.
We once sowed io wheat a small field
which before clearinir had been the feed
ing place for stock of various kinds for
years, their droppings rotting ami nun'
glmg with the soil, and which was
cleared, the ground well prepared and
sown; the result was an extraordinary
crop of straw the stalks in many places
grew to the height ol seven leet and
not over twelve bushels ol medium due
wheat to the acre. The field was after
wards taxed with the growth of two crops
of tobacco, then again sown to wheat,
and the yield was nearly twenty bushels
per acre. We attributed the lirst result
to too great nianurial stimulant in the
soil.
An excessive quantity of rich manure
put in the lull lor instance, say a peck
of hen manure in the hill for melons
and if a moist season follow, an excess
of vines with little or no fruit is likely
to be the result, but the manure well
intermixed with the soil in the. fall, or
even very early in the spring, then ihe
reBtilt will be not only thrifty vines, but
line iruu as wen.
As manures made on the farm are of
very unequal values, they should be
thoroughly mixed together before apply'

are very rich in one element, and some
in others, and for the most part the
richer the elements contained the less
bulky they are. as. for instance, hen ma'
mire; and, on the contrary, the more
bulky the less value in fertility. For
this reason it is ditlicult to apply the less
bulky, rich manures economically to
land; hence it is advisable to compost
tiiemwitn ine more bulky, such as barn'
yard manures: the rich elements will
soon leaven the entire heap, and thus
the richer manure can be evenly distrib
utee, over a larger surface than it. could
be if in smaller bulk; otherwise, too,
the less rich manure might be cast upon
the most sterile soil, where the beet is
needed.
As to applying manure in the hill.
this method according to our experience
is not safe as a rule. It is better that
the manure used on all crops should be
thoroughly mixed with the soil rather
than In the hill, especially if in Quantity
or in lumps, for it soon dries out when
the rains stop; then it injures rather
than benefits the c op. Besides, some
manures are too strong for vounir plants.
They do not need so much nourishment
at the Btart; but, when they have at
tained some size and nave sent out root
lets all through the soil, then they de
mand plant food in abundance, and if it
has been well incorporated with the soil.
it win be lound and taken up.
Sowing- Buckwheat.

ger from frosts, though for a number of
yesrs fall frosts have done little damage
to this crop. A more important point
than anything else is to have the grain
come up quickly and make an even
tand. One-half bushel of seed neracre
is thick enough, and if on rich ground
one peck is enough, as the plant spreads
snd fills best when not crowded for room.
It is much more often sown too thickly
than otherwise.
Hailoa In Wet Weather.
It would seem that with modprn faeil.
ities for cutting grassquickly and getting
it into cock it ought to I more easy to
preserve it in good order than in tha
olden times of scythes and hand rakes.
We suspect, however, that so mni-h
more hay is now cat than formerlv that
the difficulty of curing in wet weather is
litt e diminished. One modern appli
ance should, however, be in every hay
farmer's possession, and that is a aurtf.
cient number of hav caps to put nnder
cover all the bay likely to be in the field
at one time. In cock and under rover

trenches outsldu Washington. At last nature
gave out. He returned to the city, took
refuge in Mrs. Surratt's boarding house, and
was concealed in the cellar wbeu a searching
party entered the huipe and found him. Ho
was carried before Mrs. Hurrntt, who de
clared that she had never seen him before.
It was shown thut he had been one of her
boarders, and these two facts formed the
Strongest barrier to her pardon. I'aino was
dreadfully cut up about it. He held himself
responsible for her position, and when tbe
chances of reprieve grew slight, cursed bis
weakness in returning to her bouse over and
over again.
" 'If I hod two lives,' ho said, 'I would lot
them both go to save her.' 1 mentioned thut

and interrogated, with a view, I think, of
bringing out facta which might justify Mi's.
Btirrutt s pardon, or ut 1 ouA a couunututtou
of her sentence.
"Mrs. hurratt was, I think, always actu
ated by the purest motives. Khe was shown
some favor as being a woucin. The rest of
the conspirators were fed on army rations,
but she was allowed to choose what she
wished from the general table. Mrs. Hurratl
was a small, plump, pretty brunette, with
Bashing dark eyes and a will like steel. I re
member one incident of her imprisonmenl
which will give you some idea of her strength
of mind. I ou will remember that a p.trt
of tho old district penitentiary had bees
rigged up as a court house, while the otbci
part was used us a military prison. Well,
after Mid. Kurratt aud her duuirbter, a
charming girl of HI years, bad tteon seiartited
lor three niontns, tiiey were allowed an in
terview, which was to last two hours. Mist
Burratt came to the prison in the afternoon,
and I conducted ber to a room adjoiaing tht
court room, where Mrs. Burratt was writing.
The girl just went over aud sat down ou bet
mother's lap and began to cry. I went
away then; I didn't want to stay, and did
not go near them again until somo time af tei
the two hours was up. When I took the girl
away she was still crying, and I noticed that
Mrs. Burratt bud uot shed a tear. I won
dered at that The girl cried all the way
home to the Cathulio institution where sh
lived, and you cuu believe it made me feel
bad.
When I returned, I spoke to Gen. Hortranfl
and mentioned what seemed to mo tbe almost
beartlessness of Mrs. Burratt. Then tho gen
eral told me that the little girl bad scarcely
left the prison when Mrs. Burratt threw ben
self down in convulsions of such grief as bt
bad never dreamed of before. It seems bard
to imagine tbe struggle that woman must
have undergone to control herself tbrougt
tbit long interview,
"There are few people who know how
nearly Mr Burratt came to a reprieve, fol
lowed by a commutation of sentence. Then
was a strong sentiment iu her favor, and, 1
think, some doubt as to tbe degree of hel
guilt I will never believe that she was orivv
to Lincoln's murder. She approved, I think,
of his proposed abduction, but uever of bii
assassination.
"The night before the execution rras whci
they bad raiue up before the council. Next
morning Mrs. Surratt's counsel bad Uou
Hancock arrested in a civil process charging
him with having illegal uossession of Mrs
Burratt's body. The country was undel

was absurd. Nevertheless, I think it turuec
