An Excellent Fertilizer.

The Journal Of Chemistry states that one
of the very best fertilizers used upon the
farm for all the cereal grains and roots,
may be made in the following manner =
Take one barrel Of pure, finely ground
bone, and mix with it barrel of wood
ashes during the mixing, add about three
pailfuls of water. The heap may be made
upon the floor of an out-building or upon
barn floor, and by the use of hoe the
bone and the ashes must be thoroughly
blended together. The water added is Just
sufficient to hberate the caustic alkalies,
potash, and soda, and these act upon the
gelatine of the bone, dissoving the little
atoms, forming kind of soap, and fitting
it for plant ailment. In this way the most
valuable constituents of the bone can be
made Immediately available, and the addi-
ton of potash and soda aids in the forma-
ton of 4 fertilizer of lnestimable value
A gill of this mixture, placed in hill of
corn, will work wonders. 1t is also excel
lent for garden vegetable and all kinds of
roots. 1t will be ready for use in a week
after it is made.

Farmers cannot manure more cheaply

or successfully than by blowing down
green clover. This is especially true with
farms located so far away from cities or
towns as to make the maaures obtained
from them expensive. Apoor field of grass
will not pay the expense of converting it
into hay, but may lay the foundation for a
good crop of wheat, by blowing it down.
1t is not well to take everything that grows
off of the soil, and to put nothing on.

PICKLED CABBAGE.-Select fine white
heads, and with knife or kraut-cutter,
slice them up fine pack in a large stone jar
or wooden tub-the latter is preferable, as
the vinegar may corrode the glazing of the
earthenware-boil sufficient vinegar to
cover it, with considerable salt, whole or
grain black pepper, cloves, allspice, and
white mustard seed; pour this over the
cabbage, placing platter and weight upon
it to keep it under the vinegar. When
cool, cover the JAR and it is ready for use.
Care must be taken to keep it constantly
under the pickle, or it will mould.

CoMPOsTED Observation-Disclosures have
proved that stable or barnyard manure
composted with muck, or the rich, black
soil in meadows or river bottoms makes the
best and most available fertilizer known.
The rich humus soil, when composted with
fixes the gases, especially ammonia, from
escaping, and by combining with the ma
nure, makes it one of the best fertilizers
for all kinds of grain. When the soil and
manure have been composted and rendered
fine, ashes, plaster or lime, OF any other
fertilizer can DO mixed with it to good ad-
vantage.
