A corespondent of the Country Gen tleman writes as follows: The belief is becoming general that manure is most profitably, applied for tho orop or for the soil as a top. dressing. The fine manure in the Watm-yarris in August is almost invariably need for a top-dress ing for wheat, But tho coarser manure is more generally drawn on ground in-. tend?l for.cprn in spring, and plowed under. Then if the season is dry it sometimes remains unchanged at the bottom of the> furrow, and gives little benefit to the orop, as the roots will not reaoh it, especially wheto the ground has been deeply plowed. A quick, early start is what corn needs to make a vigorons growth. Top-dressing would1 give thin, if it were practicable, which, however, is not always the case with coarse unfermented manure. There are two difficulties?one in drawing heavy loads of manure over newly?plowed gronnd, often when tbe soil is filed with water.- - The second is in properly pre paring and planting fields covered with ooarse, strawy manure. There are several methods of overcom ing thoso difficulties. Some of the corn ground may be plowed in fall, and manure spread over it from sleds when covered with snow. Unless on a hill-1 Bide, there will be little loss from wash ing away tho mannre by this method. Tho fall plowing will be excellent for j the crop. A second plan is to draw and leave in heaps and spread these over the plowed surfnco aa the field is plowed. The third and altogether best plan is to draw and spread as early in winter and spring as possible, leaving snow and spring rains to dissolve the soluble parts of the manure and incorporate them with the soil. When plowed in May, most of the strength of the mannre will be found leaked out of it, and what is left will operate as a muloh to keep the ground moist and light. The amelior ating aa t/o11 as enriching effect of a good coating of manure, even if mostly straw, will astonish any ono who tries it. Then plow tho ground thus manured very shallow. Four or five inches is sufficient on most soils?. Using a joint er, a very good seed-bed can often be had by plowing only 3 1-2 inohes. The shallower the better, providing the sod is well turned under, especially a olover sod. Shallow plowing for corn keeps the manure near the surface, thus giving the advantage of top-dressing. The manuro is also nearly in ooutaot with the decaying aod. The fermentation whioh speedily follows keeps the soil warm and moist, and corn grows muoh more vigorously than when three or fonr inohes of cold sub-soil aro turned to the surf aco for a seed-bed. After the manuro and sod begin to rot, generally at tho second time cultivating, have a narrow cultivator with long slanting teeth whioh will tear up the soil, decay ing sod and mannre aa deep as plowed. Much of Jbe manure between the rows, now mostly rotted, will bo brought to the surface, while that under the hills will remain for the oorn to strike into. This plan secures all the advantages of top-droBsing with nono of its disad vantages. No ammonia is lost, for the loose earth will absorb it, and the solu ble elements of the manure aro incor porated with the soil as they could bo by no other plan. ? THE DBESSED WEIGHT OP ANIMALS. Farmers, who have had but littlo ex porienee in feeding animals for the market, are often disappointed because their beef and pork does not weigh as muoh as they thought it would. They aro likely to overlook certain points whioh ought always to be taken into ac count when estimating the dreesed weight of animals. 1. Age, An old animal will not dress as muoh in proportion to its looks as a yonng and growing one. 2. Tho degree of fatness. A creature whioh will weigh a groat deal more ban ono equally as large, but which has not been well-fattened. ' 8. Amount of grain whioh has been fed. An animal whioh had twenty or thirty bushels of meal will dresB muoh heavier than one whioh was in equall.y good order when the fattening was commenced, and whioh may look equally well when it is finishod, but which has been fed only half as mnoh meal. i. Length of time in whioh grain has been fed. A creature whioh has been mealed for five or six months will weigh more than one which has Had about the same quantity of meal, uut has been fed only half as long. In all cases liberal and long contin ued feeding is ossential to the attainment of any great success in fattening ani mals of any kind. Blow to Secure Healthy Ventilation. In view of the great difficulty of pro curing sufficient in-door ventilation, without incurring rheumatiferous draughts under existing systems of house-warming, an English sanitarian has published a simple suggestion, whioh, even ii its hygienio bearing be not fully appreciated, will commend itself to all economical housekeepers in this land of protected coal monopolies. It is evident that heating by means of steam or hot-water pipes, or rail worse, by means of air-tight stoves, gives no opportunity for a renewal of oxygen in the air vitiated by respiration; it is also evident that to supply the ventila ting out-current cf an open fire-place, chilling draughts will enter through cracks of doors and windows, or if these be carefully and effectually stopped, sewer gas is likely to be suoked up from drains and waste-pipes. On the other hand, furnaces are ordinarily so imperfectly constructed that tho outer air which they purport to introduce, is charged with gasses . of combust ion from the fire-oh amber. To obviate al these troubles it is pro posed that we should accustom our selves to permit air to enter our houses in sufficient volume to avoid lo calized currents, while the temperature of the room is kept much lower than is the custom, and the requisite body warmth maintained by the wearing of thicker clothes in the house." Aside from the important matter of ventila tion, it is argued that this plan would I much dimmish the frequency of dis eases of the respiratory organs, whioh in tho winter season are commonly ex oited by the sudden transition from heated rooms to the cold external air, the change rather than the coldness of the respired atmosphere being the source of danger. Mr. RawJinson's proposition bos assuredly the recom mendation of common sense, and, al though our mutable climate presents exceptional " cold snaps" when present I comfort becomes predominat above potential healthfulness, its adoption at all possible times may be beneficially advised for the American pu blic. whose bronohitio tendencies are undoubtedly largely due to the general fondness for overheating and abhorrenoe of fresh air. _' How to Advertise. A writer in the New York Evening Mail on the soienos of advertising says : " As the object of advertising is to in form the greatest number of people in the most ofleotive manner, this end is best attained by announcements in the Columns of the press. There are other methods of advertising, and novel ideas spring up every day, but suoh are for the moment only; and tho experience of all first-class and successful houses in duces them to do their advertising in the newspapers, and there alone. Next comes the question as to what is the best method of securing the attention of newspaper reader*. It is very simple and ooneists in continuous advertising. The retail merchants err when they in sert a large advertisement for ono time only, permitting weeks to pass before the order is repeated. Snob fitful, spas modic announcements doubtless pro duce a certain effect, but it is the steady, constant advertiser who prospers in the end. The beet way is to advertise lib erally and continuously, and all who have sufficient courage and capital to in vest without stint have found them selves rewarded even beyond their ex pectations. The secret of success lies in uninterrupted advertising on a small scale, varied by occasional 'spread a' on suitable occasions. Every paper has its regular readers, and tho continued ad vertisement familiarizes them with the name and object of the firm. Moreover, the interests of firm and paper become united ; the reader, who bnys the paper beoauso he likes it, looks at the title of the house day after day, and in time comes to like the name. When an extra announcement is made, he reads the advertisement through with attention, as the utterance of a familiar friend, and gives attention and consideration to the matter disonssed ?" Cretan Lepers'. An English physioian who bos been visiting the islands of the Turkish arch ipelago with a view to studying the oauBo and nature of leprosy, reports that in the Crete singular villages exist where every being is a leper, and where the population is increasing. There is no description made public of tho ap pearance of things in theso villages, but the view must ho a strange ono. A vil lage where every porson?man, woman and child?is a prey to the most loath some diseases ; whore there is marrying and giving marriago, must be a singular as well an a saddening spectacle. That snob a condition of things should be, that a government should allow such a horrible disease to be perpetuated and extended, is a snflloient commentary upon the character of the empire, and perhaps a snflloient cause for interven tion by other nations, in the inter est of humanity. ' l> . - . * \ Tho Speculating (fever lu San Fran cisco. The San Franoiao Chronicle says that the stock-gambling fever in that city has spread among the laboring or pro ducing classes of that oiiy like a con tagion. It approximates an epidemic, and savings banks with few exoeptionB have felt the effect. The women among the pratrons of these institutions of trust are largely represented in the class that have withdrawn , their savings for purposes of stock speculation. As a rule, in this respect women are found to be more reokless than men. They very rarely leave a balance on deposit after the fever seizes them. It has been the custom for depositors in savings banks not to withdraw thoir balances during the month just preceding in terest-day, by permitting them to remain with the banks their percentage on their savings was inoreased. Tho effect of tho Btock excitement first began to be appreciated by tho banks early in December. Then depositors who1 could have no special demand upon them for money save for speculative purpose, drew largely upon their litte hoardB, and as the month ad vanced the number of drafts daily in creased. Many of the investments axe unsafe, naturally. Inquiry has elicited tho fact that men and women of tho working olasses have bought largely of the comparatively worthless stocks, which have risen sympathetically with tho stocks of the bonanza mines. There is hardly an instance of speculating depositors returning their principal with or without profit. In one of the banks a servant girl had $670 on deposit. She drew.the money, and within a week lost it in the Phil. Sheridan stock. Another Vends In the Field. Ancient Borne is gradually yielding np to the light its art treasures. Dur ing Ohristmas week some of tho work men employed in clearing away a quan tity of fallen walls and debris for the purpose of leveling the newly-marked out streets upon the Esquiline, un earthed a perfect treasnre-trove of sculp ture. Among marble gods and god desses, discovered in all stages of frac ture, was a Venus of the purest Parian marble, whioh the London Times cor respondent says is considered the gom of tho lot. The statue is perfectly nude, and is the figure of a lovely girl of seventeen. She stands with both feet upon the ground closo together, the left a couple of inohes further back, with the heel very slightly raised. A moment before sho was erect, but she had dropped into a easier position, with the left knee bent forward and inward against the right. Her left hand is resting on tbe knot of hair at the back of her head, while the right holds the fill it ehe has already passed several times round it. In doing this she has swayed a little over and down to tbe right, bringing the left side forward. The shoulders are well set back, and the face is turned to the right, and a little downward, showing from the front a not quite three-quarter view. It is thought that the statue will take rank above tho Medioean Venus. A Nation op DYsrEirios.?We live fast?dissipate in everything exoept righteousness, and fill early graves.

Tried many doctors and thingn with no lasting bonoiit. In May, '72, becoming nearly worn out with exccsBivo oditorial labors on a papor in Now York city, I was attacked with bron chitis in a Hovoro form, Bnfforing almost a total Iobh of volco. I returned homo, hero, but had boon homo only two wooks whou I was com fdotoly prostratod with homorrhago from tho aiigs, having four severe bleeding spells within two loeehs, and first three inside of nine days. In tho Hoptombor following, I improved suffi ciently to bo ablo to bo about, though in a very foobloBtato. My bronchial tronblo remained, aud the oatarrh was tonfold worse than be fore. Every effort for roliof poomod fruitloBH. I Boomod to bo losing ground daily. I con tinued in this fooblo stato, raising blood almost daily, until about tho lir.-t of March, '75, when I bocamo so bad as to bo entirely confined to tho houee. A friend suggested your remedies. But I was extremoly skepti cal that tboy would do mo good, as I had lest all heart in VomodioB, and begun to look upon mndicino and doctors with disgust However, I obtained ono of your circulars, and read it carefully, from which I camo to the conclusion that you understood your bupiness, at least. I finally obtained a quantity of Dr. Hago'a Catarrh Remedy, v< or Golden Med*cal Discov ery and rellotB," and commenced their vigor ous ir*o according to directions. To my Hur priBO, I noon bogan to improve Tho Discov ery and PoUots, in a short timo, brought out a sovoro ornption, which continuod for sevoral weeks. I felt much bettor, my appotito im proved, and I gainod in strength and nosh, in throo months every vostiiio of tho catarrli was gono, tbe bronchitis had nearly disappear ed, had no cough whatovor, and I had ontiroly ceasod to raiso blood; and, contrary to tho ex pectation of somo of my friends, tho euro has remainod pormanont. I havo had no moro -_- 1 hemorrhages from the lungs, and am entirely free from catarrh, from which I had Buffered bo much and bo long. The dobt of gratitude I owe tor the blessing I. havo received^ at your hands, knows no bounds. I am thoroughly satinfled, from my experience, that your medi cines will master the worst forma of that odious dieoasQ catarrh, as well at throat and lung diseases.
