The value of 199.273 tons of . manure 
produced by 47 animals in five months at 
£3.092 per ton, is £(516,15, or an average of 
$13 11 per head I do not know that we will 
ever receive $(51(3,15 for this manure; I am 
inclined to think that we will not; but I do 
know that the land upon which manure of 
like character lias been spread has steadily in¬ 
creased in fertility, while, in the same time, 
it has produced crops more than double the 
value of those produced on the same land 
treated with manure that had been allowed to 
leach, burn, or lose nearly half its Rtrength 
through the stable floor. I have visited 
numerous farms this past year and have seen 
but one stable floor that was anything like 
water-tight. 
Many farmers do not have an abundance of 
straw, and therefore our method of absorbing 
liquids and preserving manures may not be 
applicable in all eases. A little ingenuity and 
a slight expense will, in most cases, suffice to 
furnish facilities for preserving all the liquid, 
and solid droppings of the animals, and to in¬ 
corporate with them a greater or less quantity 
of absorbents. Just how this is done matters 
little, if only tllO object is accomplished. If 
these investigations serve to open the eyes of 
those who a e blind to their own interest and 
cause them to stop the cracks in the stable 
floors, through which all Winter the urine 
has found egress and the north pole’s tempera¬ 
ture ingress, then I shall be coutent.

DRIVE-WAY TO TOP OF BARNS. 
PROF. A. J. COOK. 
In the Rural’s plans for barns, I have 
looked in vain for an arrangement which I 
have been studying upon for the past year—a 
plan which provides means for driving into 
the highest point of the barn. Then, instead 
of pitching all our grain and hay up, we cau 
tumble them down. To be sure we have our 
horse forks, but they are inconvenient and 
often, especially on small forms, are but little 
better than the old way with fork and muscle. 
Besides, in case of grain and corn stacks, the 
horse-fork is useless. It seems to me that with 
'gravity always begging to help us, we have 
heen almost stupid in this matter, as our 
fathers were said to have been wheu they 
weighted one end of the meal bag with a stone 
to balance it over the horse. 
Why not drive into the highest part of our 
barns, has been a question that has been agi¬ 
tating my mind all Summer and for the past 
year. Even suppose our barns are on level 
ground, the drive-way to get up to the peak 
of the barn need be made bat once, while 
the hard, back-aching pitching comes with 
each round of the seasons. 
Last week, in speaking to one of Michigan’s 
most enterprising and successful farmers, Mr. 
Walkms, of Manchester, Michigan, I found 
he had practically solve! this question. His 
barn is on nearly level ground, but is a very 
large barn. He drives into it on an earthen 
drive-way, one side of which is walled with 
stone, the other slanting off gradually. He 
does not reach the highest point till he outers 
the barn, wheu his drive still ascends. When 
the load has reached the desired place, an in¬ 
clined plank is placed under the wheels on the 
side opposite the mow, which so raises this 
side that the load is tipped over into the deep 
bay. Often no fork Is used at all, aud some¬ 
times the team is not even stopped. No one 
goes into the bay to mow away. Gravity can 
attend to that ami never gets tired. Mr. 
Walkius has tha drive-way in the barn wide 
enough to turn on. He says that in a smaller 
barn he would have it narrower, aud use a 
turn-table. Surely here is a hint that barn 
builders may well improve upon. When 
building on a side-bill, expense of course can 
be saved, as the elevated road-way outside the 
barn may uot be required. Such u road-wav, 
if of wood, will decay; if of earth, it is ex¬ 
pensive.

THE PRESIDENTS SISTER. 
Miss Cleveland on the Rostrum—Some 
Thoughts Suggested by ber Lecture. 
In June, 1883, Miss Elizabeth Cleveland, 
present mistress of the White House, delivered 
au address before the Elmira, N. Y., Female 
College, which the Presbyterian Evangelist 
pronounced “great,”—a deserved compli¬ 
ment to an excellent woman. It was 
entitled “Altruistic Faith,” and for her illus¬ 
tration she took Chedidja, first wife of Mo¬ 
hammed, who was rich, and much older than 
he was when she married him. When asked 
in later years why he did not put ber away to 
take a younger wife, he replied that he loved 
her best because she believed in bim when all 
men despised him. Chedidja's faith made 
Mohammed. 
There’s faith in God, faith in self, and in 
humanity. The first produces the otheis. 
Faith in humanity believes that life is worth 
living and worth saving. You will have much 
hunger and thirst, will crave affection when 
the bloom of youth is supplanted by the ashen 
hue of age; will cry aloud for help in infirmi¬ 
ties. must needs come, because those on whom 
women rely, though themselves powerless to 
relieve them of their intolerable aches, paius, 
prostrations, sleepless nights of agony, and 
days of distress—because of the narrowness 
of their code and the selfishness of their pur¬ 
pose—restrain them from resorting to these 
agencies which may lift women to a plane of 
greater usefulness, and to a nobler life. 
Many a wornau lacks the faith of the Ched- 
idja. If they have faith in their own reserve 
of Physical power, confidence in the personal 
experience of others would follow: and instead 
of a race of suffering mortals—slaves to the 
prejudices of those whose only interest in them 
is bounded by their professional fees—we 
should see nobility of station reinforced by 
nobility of mind and robustness of life. 
The power to rid themselves of the aches, 
pains and desperate despair which afflict them 
“is in women, and ought to come out. You 
all have a countless amount of testimony.” 
Some one will say to you, “Go on, aud you 
will conquer.” 
“How ?” Do as your sisters have done! Have 
faith in their indisputable experiences. We 
want more life and fuller, and need all the 
help we can get. Man would fail were it not for 
the Chedidjas. There is much m good diges¬ 
tion to keep a woman sweet and lovable. 
There is more in thorough action of the great 
blood purifying organs—the liver and kidneys, 
for if they are deranged women cannot have 
the physical comfort so craved and prayed 
for. To secure this, the help they Heed—the 
help that thousands have already used and to 
which tney say they owe all they possess—is 
Warner’s safe cure. Mrs. Maria C. Treadwell, 
Stamford, Conn. (President of the State 
Woman’s Christian Temperance Union), a well 
known leader, says “it is the only thing which 
seemed to reach my case.” These unpreju¬ 
diced thousands have blessed the world be¬ 
cause they have become Chedidjas, who have 
felt it their duty to declare their own fai»b 
and to inspire their sisters with confidence in 
the extraordinary up buildiug energy of this 
wonderful discovery. 
Miss Cleveland has evidently an original 
and fertile mind, and we are indebted to her 
interesting lecture, a few thoughts from 
which we have copied—for a text out of 
which the above suggestions have grown.
