arose as to the benefit of whipping in bringing
up children. The doctor took the affirmative,
and his chief opponent was young minister,
whose reputation Tor veracity was not very

harm to children by unjust punishment,

MISCELLANEOUS READING.

ASHES AND ANTHRACITE qCoAL.-We are
often asked if the ashes of anthracite coal
have any value as manure, and have IA
frequently answered that their greatest val
ue consisted in their ability to prevent the
adhesiveness Of clay soils, for eigbty-eight
per cent. of these ashes is entirely insoluahle
in the strongest acids, and consequently not
capable of furnishing food even to the lowest
class of plants; the soluble silica is immaterial
in amount, the alumina, which varies from
three to four per cent, cannot be OF any val
ue; the iron, which varies from four to six
| per cent, is of no value, as most soils con-
tain all that is required. The lime in the
ashes of the white ash coal is about two Eer
cent. in that Of the red ash, but sixteen
hundredths of one per cent. the magDesia
is not called for, while the soda is but one
fifth Of one per cent, and the potash even of
less quantity indeed, we believe this TO
| arise from the wood used in kindling the
fires, rather than from the coal ITSELF
The greatest value of coal ashes is the
phosphoric acid, being the fifth of one
per cent, and of the suphuric acid which
varies from half to three .fOurths of one
per cent. beyond these the ashes have
no value, and the phosphorc and sulphu-
ric acids contained in ton, is not worth
ten cents. Therefore, coal ashes, except
when required as divisor for very tight clay
Soils cannot be worth the carriage. In ad-
dition to the small quantity OF inorganic
matter capable of being used by plants, it is
proper to state it is not in very progressed
form, and, therefore, still smaller proper
tions than those noted can be appropriated
by the higher class of plants. = Working Far
mer.
