METHOD OF DISTINGUISHING
GENUINE CLARET FROM IMITA-
TION.-It is well known that by far
the majority of .claret consumed in
this country has never seen France,
but is made artiticially on this side
of the>Atlantie. 1t is also no secret
that many of these limitations are
highly deterious to health. Every
lover of the genuine article will
therefore feel indebted to Messrs.
Cottini 81 Fantogini for their simple
method of distinguishing the two.
They mix fifty cubic centimetres of
the suspected claret, with six cubic
centimetres of nitric acid of forty
two degrees Beaume, GAO spec.
gravity, and heat the mixture to
1906 degrees Celsius, Or nearly the
boiling-point of water. Ii the claret
is genuine, it will not change its
appearance even if treated for an
hotlr, while the initiated article
loses its color i'll about five minutes.

WHAT Is ECONOMY Z?

This is a subject which is now all the rage among
our farmers, and it is amusing to see how well
some of them understand it.
Their economy and economiZng is like that of
the man who, seeing that his cider barrel was leak
ing at the spilc turned it to tighten it, but did
not notice that the bunghoe was open and under.
Let me draw you picture of some Of our farmers
who are ecOnOmZing land there are by far too
many such) He cannot apply any lime this year,
because he must economize and can't afford it Or
in other words, cannot afford to spend one dollar
now that it may produce ten in year or two.
He cannot afford to hire man, and so his corn
goes unWorked and the crop is materially shorten
ed; his ground is only half plowed. because he has
not time 70 do it well himself, and thereby loses
several dollars to one.
He does not place his manure under shelter in
the spring, because he cannot afford to hire man
to do it. and has not time to do it himself; and yet
will tell you if asked that one load of sheltered
manure is worth two of that not so taken care Of.
He dscontnues taking Gf he ever did such
thing,) an agricultural paper, and thus places his
finger III the spile and leaves the bunghoe wide
open. with Il vengeance.
lie cannot afford to buy plaster for his clover and
corn, although he knows that it will do much to in
crease his crop; whereas if he to apply plaster
TO his grass, he would double or treble his money
in very short time, and the surplus might go to-
ward hiring hand.
The fact is that he begun his economy and econ
omizins at the worg end He breaks up more
ground, and spreads the same amount of labor-and
less abor-oyer larger surface. and lies under the
impression that he is thereby obtaining larger
crops, whereas, if he would cultivate no more
ground than he has manure and labor for, he would
be the richer for it..
The handspring of economy in agriculture is in
creasinS the amount of manures; this is the very
item which our economizing farmer omits. Everv-
thing which will make manure should be thrown
into the barn yard or pigpen; the size of the COM
post heap should be increased; but have all the
help you need, for that Is or should be the last
thing to decrease on the score of economy.
There are hundreds of ways in which farmers
may cconomize if they will, and only go IT it in the
proper manner.
If We're going to adopt more rigid system of
economy, should hire an additional hand and
make him pay his own and his fellows wages, even
if he did nothing else but collect materials for
manure.
Our farmers are only just beginning to understand
the meaning OF these two words, Economy and
Economizlng Cor. Germantown Telegraph
