How to Keep Cider.

or rheumatism Some of them doubtless
are good. but most Of them are worthless.a

of devastated and ruined city. Here
were the inhabitants. hurried out into the
street almost without warning; away from
their homes, destitute of everything that
could minister to their comfort; crying
for bread, wearied by watching, and awe
stricken by the extent Of their misfortunes.
1t was altogether such a scene as the
world has seldom witnessed.
The red sun went down behind the
smoke-cloud. The mantle of night un-
rolled over the rufled waters of the lake.
The lurid freight of the still burning
city cast great glare over the scene
But never in the history of man has day
closed SO sadly with so many hundreds of
of thousands Of people watching by the
smouldering ruins of their homes. Never
before has night fallen on ruins so vast,
so suddenly made.

egTbe last Joke at the expense of the

EsThe last joke at the expense Of the
French Society for the Protection of Ami
mails is to the following effect: A coun-
tryman, armed with an immense club. pre-
sents himself before the President of the
Society and claims the first prize. He is
asked to describe the act of humanity on
which he founds his claim. Il saved the
life of a wolf," replied the country man,
Il might easily have killed him with this
bludgeon - and he swings his weapon 20
the air, to the intense discomfort of the
President but where was the wolf p
inquired the latter; "what had he done to
you?'' ''He had just devoured my wife, %
is the reply. The President reflects an
instant and then says: ''My friend, [ am
of the opinion that you have been suffici-
emily rewarded"

Farming in Southern MARYLAND.

Eds. Country Gentleman our cor
respondent, Jno. H. Dent, D. '436, con-
siders the trouble with southern farmers,
too much land and too shallow blowing !;
but I wish to ask him, is it not quite as
much, too little stock The description
of Georgia practice in his article is quite
as applicable here in Southern Maryland. !.

more, where the old residents con6ne their
attention to tobacco. corn and wheat.

and even fewer sheep. and letting them
suffer every winter for want Of the hay

it little short of ruin to stock with grass
A northern farmer asked one4''Wifl
clover grow here at all 2" Indeed it
will if you let it," said he. 1--we spent
my life fighting it, and too many have
succeeded, bringing their land to the con-
dition of old fields which they will sell
even as low as SIS per acre, while butter
is quoted in Baltimore markets as New
York for the highest prices, and fat lambs,
veal, beef, &c., are almost unobtainable. "
1t seems to me that one necessary to
the reconstruction of farming in these
southern counties. is to change all this

better. but to keep all the stock the farm
er can feed we'll; depend upon their pro-
ducts for sales. instead of selling the crops
directly off the lands.
The climate here is so mild. that the
English system Of sheep feeding which
involves extensive turnip culture; might
be easily adopted, while the greater dry
ness of the air and soil conduces to much
greater hardness of constitution in the
focks. Experiments have been tried on
rather large scale, which 60 to show
that the turnip does as we'll here as in
England, and that it can be fed in the
field nearly the whole winter. and there

Mistakes in the Use of Concentrated
Fertilizers. ,t

The cause of failure in the use of con-
centrated fertilizers is often due to the
manner in which they are applied. It is
difficult for those who have been accus-
toned to use bulky manures to realize that
the full fertilizing potency of bushel of
animal excremeut that may be held in a
large tablespoon. and that handful of one
adds to plant structures as decidedly as
several shovelsfal of the other A full
dose of opium given to patients furnishes
quite dark. bulky powder. or pill but
if we separate the alkaloidal principle,
upon which its hypnotic power depends,
we have only little delicate white pow
der which breath of wind will blow a.
way. The ! grain powder will affect the
human organism as powerfully as ten times
the weight of opium. If we are so for
getful of ''potencies'' as to administer as
much, or even one-quarter as much, of
the white concentrated powder as the
bulky dark one. we should destroy our
patients life, or at least do great injury
to his health. So. if in the use of genn-
inc superphosphate, or guano, or ground
bones and ashes, we forget their power.
and apply too much. or apply them too
directly. we endanger the life of our plants
An experiment made upon cozp furn-
ishes an illustrative case in point. I At the
time Of planting upon field divided by a
narrow strip of sward land. we directed
that on one side a tablespoonful Of tie
mixed bone and ashes should be placed in
each hill, and we'll covered with the soiI;
upon the other, four rows were to be treat
ed similarly, and upon the remainder, the
hills should receive double quantity
1t is curious to observe the effects. The
first field and four rows are remarkably
thrifty. The corn came up we'll, and has
manifested remarkable vigor from the start.
On the other hand. the over-dosed corn
appeared for long while as if paralyzed
by some wasting disease. It could not
bear up under so much Of good thing.
More free ammonia was formed at the
start than could be appropriated by the
tender plants, and many of them perished
from over-stimulation and heat produced
by the Preventative changes of the active
bodies in contact. The corn that surviv-
ed is at PRESENT growing finely, and will
no doubt afford a large yield. ssi''s
!. Now if this had happened in the course
Of our regular agricultural labors, and
with any understanding of the nature Of
the fertilizing substance used, it is proba-
BILE it would have been condemned as a
worthless article. This has been the case
with hundreds of experiments. and it is
indeed perfectly natural conclusion to
reach. But We must learn to, reason,
learn to have patience, learn the character
of the substances we employ upon our
lands. We must be careful how we reach
a conclusion we must examine closely to
see if they are based upon correct grounds.
There are well-established principles in
agriculture; let us cling to them. and
when we get results that are puzzling or
paradoxical, we must study causes. and
notjudge hastily. Journal Of Chemistry.
