ence. While the present debt is
nominally double that Of ninety
years ago, the ability Of the people
to pay it is over three times as
great.
AS TO the funding of the debt in
4 or A. per cent. long bonds, he
had his doubts whether it could
be done very soon. Could it be
done, however, there would be q
saving of slS.0OO,O 900 per year,
which placed in a sinking fund
would pay off the entire debt in
tbirty>five years. During the past
year S80,000,000 of bonds have
bcen taken up. We suggest that
this rate ofircreasing tho sinking

Make the payment 5000, 900, 900

the latter rates of payment the

The Best DeodOrizer.

Dry earth has recently been in.
troduced as a deodorizor, and the
result of the new process is report
ed TO be perfectly effective. Among
other illustrations, it is stated that
tho meat preserving establishment
near Melbourne, Australia, where
10000 sheep are frequently slaugh~
tered in one day, there is not the
slightest smell, in consequence of
the use Of dry earth as a deodoriz-
ing agent.
This important fact Of the deo-
dorizing power Of dry earth, which
was discovered but few years
ago, though it was known to the
ancients, is one which has an i'm.
portant bearing upon agriculture
and upon the treatment OF manures.
1t shows that its absorbing quail
ties are very great, and it should
be mixed to a much larger extent
than it commonly is, with com.
posts and with oil rapidly decay
ing substances, TO hold the gases
that are rapidly given off in the
process Of putrefactlon.
This power OF dry earth consists
not only in the absorption of mois.
ture Of decaying substances and OF
all animal excrement, but likewise
of their odor and offensivcness. 1t
is due in part to the clay in it's
composition, and to dccomposcd
organic matter in soils, especially
when dried and sifted or otherwise
rendered fine.
IL is a somewhat curious fact
that this characteristic of the earth
was recognized in the old Mosaic
law, as we see in the twelfth and
thirteenth verses of the twenty.
third chapter of Deuteronomy.
By the more frequent use OF fine
dry earth we might economize and
save, without much labor or in
convenience, the most valuable ma
ter;als on the farm and remove the
objection TO the handling of such
substances as are offensive to the
smell Massachusetts Pioughmdn.
