ARE Coal ASHES COOP FOR ANY
rHING.-Seeing the use Of ashes strongly
recommended, many have tried the refuse
of the CRATE and coal stove with no fiat
tering results. Then they ask tho ques-
tion printed in large above. Yes, coal
ashes have some value, but for general use
mush less than wood ashes. 10 general
description that answers the purpose o. the
farmer. the composition Of wood ashes
may be said to be potash, sandy ma.te- and
lime. In the ash, elm, hickory and white
oak, there is good deal of lime and pot
ash. In the ash of pine wood almost no
lime and very little potash. Coal ash
gives sandy matter and little lime. All
plants want some of that sandy matter,
aud it is literally supplied by most soils.
The slick in the ash of stone coal has this
popularity, i. is so fine tn at the rain dis
aolves it easily and feeds it libe1ally to
plants in the early part of the summer.
Hence, coal ashes are of most benefit on
plants that grow in May and June and
come to harvest early. For cereals and
tubers that are harvested late in the seas
on, coal ash is not worth the labor of cart
ing and spreading. But On grass, straw
berries, radishes aud peas, coal ash
spread thin aud we'll raksd in is a proita-
bic application.

USE OF CoRN-HUsKs.-In this country
the chief industrial use of corn-husks is
to stuff mattresses. Sometimes for this
purpose 'hey are torn into shreds by hand
with hetchel, but in the large manuiacto-
ries they are prepared by machinery in-
vented for the purpose. The Germans are
far ahead of the Yankees in utilizing the
material. BY means of a process invented
IN Austria some five or six years ago,
about twenty per cent, of the weight of
oorn-husks may be made into stout paper,
twenty-five per cent. may be brought into
q 6brous condition and woven into cloth,
and fifteen per cent may be separated as
= kind OF a starchy substance, which has
been made into biscuit for the soldiers in
the Austrian army.

UoMMoN SALT AS A MANURE. The
nee OF common salt as a manure has been
recommended for more than a century.
yet, considering the price of TIE article
and the effect produced by its application,
it is surprising that its use is not moro gen
ernl than it is.
Some have tried il, and the effect has
not erme up to their expectations but I
think here are reasons TO account for this
failure
The application of common salt, like all
other manures and stimulants, must he
carried on with judgment and intelli-
gence
Suppose we apply salt to field 1T grass
o1e year and it has good effect, we must
not expect another application, made next
year, to produce an effect in proportion !;
for in all probability tho first application
furnished the soil with sufficient soda
(salt is composed of soda united with mu-
riatic acid aud other compounds) for sew
eral crops, and the second application will
not begin to have its effect until the 6rst
is exhausted.
Some OF these failures may be ascribed
to the fact that some plants have more
soda in their composition, and consequent
ly are more benefited by its presence in
the soil than others. The soil may also
contain sufficient soda or chlorine in some
other form than that of common salt.
We know that some plants do not grow
without the presence of salt, and others
again will not grow where it is present.
In England, where the use of this ma
nure is much more common than it is in
this country, failures have arisen from the
experiments having been tried too near
the seashore, where the land already con-
tanned sufficient salt. DR.. Madden has
calculated that the rain which usually
falls near or within five miles of the east
ern shore of England and Ireland depos-
its 600 pounds on each acre every year.
A great portion of this is washed through
the soil by the rain, and for all purposes
Of stimulant is lost
1t has been proved by experiment that
16O pounds per acre sown broadcast for
wheat after potatoes, has increased the
former crop from 25 bushels per acre to
80.
In another case in England an applica-
tion of five bushels per acre to a light
gravel!y soil doubled the crop of wheat.
Another application of six bushels per
acre on like soil, increased the crop of
hay one ton per acre.
have found that it will not only in
crease the yield of wheat, but will increase
the weight of it from one to two pounds
per bushel. usually apply it by sowing
it broadcast before tho grain is drilled 10,
at the rate of about one sack per acre, and
consider that [ get 500 per cent. on the
investment from the first crop.

The Supreme Court decides against
the States, or in favor Of the right Of
Congress to tax State Moniea Insti-
tutions, while Mr.. Justice Nelson and
Mr. Justice Davis note the fact that
there were fur State banks in exist
ence at the time of,he adoption Of the
Federal Constitution and that it is
competent for the States to charter
and establish State banks, and assert
that this view has been three times
distinctly affirmed by the Supreme
Court. The bills Of State banks put
in circula ton. instead Of being the
property Of the banks issuing them,
are, in fact, but their Indebtedness,
and as such they are not liable to tho
tax imposed, nor can the General
Government tax the franchise. nor
the Indebtedness Of these institutions.
The view is taken that this tax upon
issues of tue banks in question is an
unjusts6ablc attempt to crush them
out Of existsuce.
And no sensible man doubts that
the tax was me ant for this very pur-
pose, and to give the federal govern.
ment control Of the money of the
people.

The Times Of tic % contains Il
lengthy communication from Mister
Charles y. Brown whrrcin h. un-
dcrtakcs to build up reputation fl r
himself Oh the very sandy i, undation
of worse public faith in others than
in himself. This he undertakes by
misssa.ing and dis:eitins facts in re-.
gard to the purcLa Sc Of the Marshall
farm in 1867, by DR.. CIemmer. Eth
err Brown knew nothing Of the facts in
the case. or else willfuliy perverted
them. He accuses Clemmcr of max
ing 8 Il, 500 on the land trade and
failing to report the fact in his re-
turns Of income. and that ultimately
he paid $50 to SIS correction in ir-
come tax on the transaction. The
truth in regard to the transaction is
this. The writer Of this article was
employed Ivy Mr.. Alex Marshall, the
grantor, to go out to the farm, about
eight miles from this place, and make
the conveyance, NJ. stating the con-
sideration at $500. or whatever
amount was incorporated in the deed,
and himself and wife executing the
instrument. But when NJ. came to
Crcsco to deliver the deed, Clemmcr
demurred to the in<uflicicncy Of con-
sideration, alleging it to have been
for property in New Oregon valued
in the trade at $500 and in addition
for the sum of $1,000. Marshall how
ever declined to make the correction,
and hence the apparent income tax
that the DR.. was charged with by the
collector. .".,.
The statement that tho grantor cv-
err denied that the price of the farm
was only $500 is probably untrue
for NJ. had left for England and
thence to Australia and has never
been here to affirm or deny anything
The brother of the grantor did, we
believe, affirm as stated by Brown,
On what authority VIC are unable to
say. The income tax we believe was
compromised and paid in part BY
Clemmer, and in part by the brother
of the grantor, though had the gan
tor been here, ia. probabilities are
that the proper officer would have af-
fixed tn, requisite amount in stamps
to the deed, and the grantor have
paid his fine. But--pshaw Why
