But, the hnal results would nave been inc
same by the quick combustion, in the fire,
they were at once resolved into their proxi-
mate and ultimate elements, by slow COM

ended in the same thing. But may refer to
this hereafter.
Some may ask, what is the best method
of using ashes think as general thing, it
is better to mix ashes in compost, than to
SOW broadcast. If mixed with peat or swamp
muck. they will neutralize the acidity of the
muck, and much sooner prepare it for use-or
they may be composIed with muck and ma
nure-but never should be mixed with clear
manure Ii designed to apply to grain crop,
they should Re composted with sandy loan,
the longer before they are used in this way
the better, provided they are defended from
the rains and SHOWS.
The compost should not be spread till after
the land is ploughed-as it will be buried
sufficiently deep enough for the grain crop by
the harrow.-BoSton CuAivator.
The attention of our Wing friends is asked
to the appended invitation of the Philadelphia
Wings to be present with them at the meeting
of the Wing National Convention in that city
on the 7th and 9th of June next.
To the Democratic Wings of the United
States
The undersigned were appointed by the
Democratic Wing Executive Committee of
the city Of Philadelphia, to make known to
the Wings of the United States, that it has
been fully resolved that the great National
Convention for nominating the Wing candi-
I,to Gov. A.
United States, shall be held in this city on the
seventh day of June next. 1t had not been
forgotten that such was the decision of the
Wing Mass Convention for ratification, held
in Baltimore in 1914, and calculations had
been made by the Wings of this city on en-
joying the promised honor; but aware that
some would render it expedient to change the
determination thus expressed, we, speaking
for the Wings of Philadelphia, were prepared
to yield up, though with great reluctance, the
honor which we regarded as right, to what
might be deemed the requirements of the par
ty. 1t was however, with extraordinary plea
sure that the Wings of our city learned that
the qualification of our wishes was deemed
consistent with, and indeed promotive of, the
good of the great Wing party of the United
States; and that the National Convention for
selecting candidates for the votes of the
Wings, and of all who are for the good of the
country, will assemble, in the season of the
the year, and in the place, consecrated by the
venerable assemblage of Wings, who in l77G
declared our country an Independent nation
and fixed the principles upon which our party
is founded, principles which it is our duty to
assert and sustain.
While such response as this is due to the
distinguished Wings composing the meeting
at Washington, by whom the time and place
of the National Convention of lS4S were fix
ed, and for which favor the thanks of the
Wings of Philadelphia are hereby respectfully
rendered to them it is also proper to add that
the Wings of Philadelphia will be prepared to
extend true, full and hearty soelcome to their
brethren of the Convention for Nomination as
we'll to those of the Great Mass Convention,
which will of course be held in this city on the
eighth day of June, the day following the sit
ting of the Nominating Convention. In the
discharge of that duty, in order that the acts
of welcome may accompany the ,oord the
Democratic Wing Executive Committee of the
city of Philadelphia will share the honors and
happiness with the delegates of other bodies
of their Wing co-laborers in Philadelphia city
and districts, one and all of whom will find
pleasure as they will discharge duty in seek
ing to make the members of both Conventions
at home in the city of Brotherly Love.
