He was driving his cows home and one of them, it is tliought, in fighting a fly drove her horn through Mr. Feirstein's leg. Bleeding profusely he fell or lay down and was found later having bled to death. Up-To-Date Manuring. It is now recognized that mixed ma- nures—manures, that is, which consist of more than one constituent—are more valuable than those which only give one kind of plant food, such as nitrate of soda. This is well seen in the fact that though nitrogenous manures alone are very useful for cereal crops, they do much more good when mixed with other mineral fertilizers. Where this is the case a lot more corn is grown, as the Woburn and Rothamsted experiments have clearly brought out, and another point worth mentioning is that quality does not seem to suffer in the way that it does, judging by the weight per bushel, when nitrogenous manures are used alone. The latter do not give corn of the highest value, as the experiments of recent years have proved, and nitrate especially has con- sistently been responsible for some of the lowest bushel weights as compared with mixed manures. Ljme, again, is best used in conjunc- tion with a manure, and experiments point to improved quality and early ripening, as well as a sometimes no- ticeable increase i
