British agrculturists thoroughly manure their lands
and hence the heavy crops they gather annually as
the result Of their thorough farming The use Of
super-phosphates in Great Britain is the rule among
farmers. and they wnuld as soon expect to gather
crops witheut planting seed, as to dispense with
phosphates and then expect good returns.
In this country the best formers follow the sys-

WHANN,s kAw-BoSE SupERPMospIIATE. In
many OF the States where this great fertilizer is
employed, the average yield OF wheat per acre is
three times the average yield of the whole country

she raised money to bury her brother-n-law s

Inc rags are hoisted in bales Into the third
stony Of what We have called the 'srag building"
aud not rags alone but ropes, etc. z hey are here
unbaled and sliced upon ~ crowd of workers,
both male and female, who sort them, rip of
buttons, cue. They pass thu ough n dust engine
as sooh as ui.baled. This dust engine is simply
an octagonal cylinder of wire sewing, revolving
rapidly in an iron drum and shakes up and Sits
the dirt and dust out of the rags The sorted
rags are run througha machine called Devil"
which tears and cuts them considerably, after
which they are sent to the door below.
Before leaving the third story we step into die
bleaching powder" room at one end of the
building, where we flud great many barrels of
chloride of lime and four large watts IN which 1t Is
being dissolved. The cearsoluton Is drawn from
these watts to alarge tank beneath them, whence
1t is carried by pipes to where ii Is needed. The
pungent odor OF this chemical Is very p,rccptiblc
| in this room but the Superintendent, Mr. Luke,
informs us that It is not at nil unwholesome to
| breathe.
Passing down into the story below we find
| much the same process going on as we saw in the
| room above, only that the sorting, busting and
tearing seems to be more thoroughly and minute
| ly done here. There are more hands, more dust
engines, and several "devils" cutting and tearing
the rags to shreds.
| When sufficiently torn up they are thrown
| through holes in the floor to the rag boilers In
the story below, Che first aoor. Going down
into this story we see the boilers. There are two
of them. The smaller OF the two is 20 feet long
- feet in diameter, Will hoia 10000 pounds q
stock, and Itself weighs % tons. II Is the largest
in the country. These boilers are filled with
rags, closed up tightly and full head Of steam
turned on. The boilers are then caused to re-
volvc. They do not rcvolyc straight ahead II
one direction, however, as the rags would becoln,
matted in one inextricable mass. The large ont
revolves completely one way then revolves bach
to its original position. The smaller one make,
two complete revolutions IN one direction ani
then two 10 the other dire ctlon. This is kept ~
during the whole of the time the rags are boiling
about hours. When boiled, the rags. or stock
as they arc called nre emptied out onto the ston'
floor beneath the boilers Here the stock is le
