The Use of Concentrated Fertilizers.

The cause of failure in the use of the con-
ccntrated fertilizers is often due to the manner
in which they are applied. 1t is difficult for
those who have been accustomed to use bulky
manures to realize that the full tertilizns po-
tcncy of bushel Of animal excrement may be
held in large sized table spoon, and that 4
handful Of one adds to plant structures as de-
cidedly as several shovels full of the other. A
full dose of opium as given to patients furnish
es quite dark, bulky power, or pill; but if we
separate the alkaloidal principal upon which its
hypnotic power depends, we have only little
delicate white powder which breath OF wind
will blow away. The one-eighth grain powder
will affect the human organism as powerfully
as ten times the weight of opium. If we were
so forgetful of 'potencies" as to administer as
much, or even one quarter as much, OF the
white concentrated powder as of 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 genuine superphosphate, of guano,
or rround bones and ashes, we forget their pow
er and apply too much, or apply them too di-
rectly, we cndanger the lives of our plants.
An experiment made upon corn affords an
illustrated case in point. AT the time of plant.
ing, upon field divided by narrow strip OF
sward land, we directed that on one side ia
blespoonful of the mixed bones and ashes
should be placed in each HILL and well covered
with soil upon the other, four rows were to be
treated similarly, and upon the remainder the
hills should receive double quantity. It is
curious TO observe the effects. The first field
and the four rows are remarkably thrifty. The
corn came up well, and has manifested remar-
Lable yigor from the start. On the other hand,
the overdosed corn appeared for a long while as
if it had been paralyzcd by some wasting dis
case. 1t 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 fer
mentative changes of tho active bodies in con-
tact. The corn that survived is at the present
growing finely, and will no doubt afford large
yield. Now if this had happened in the course
of our regular agricultural labors, and without
any understanding of the nature of the tertil-
izing substance used, it is probably that it
would have been condemned as worthless or
dangerous article. This has been the case with
hundreds of experiments, and is indeed per-
fectly natural conclusion to reach. But we
must learn to reason, learn to have patience,
learn the character of the substances we en-
ploy upon our lands. We must be careful how
we reach conclusions VIC must examine close
w to sec if they are based upon correct grounds.
There are we'll established principles in agrlcul-
ture; let us cling to them, and when VIC get re-
suits that are puzzling or paradoxical, we must
study causes, and not judge hastily.-B0ston

The late Empress of France, used often,
when a child at Granada as Eugene Montijo,
to be danced upon the knee Of Washington
Irving. In IL letter written in 1858, just after
the elevation Of Eugene to the high station
she filled for eighteen years, Irving wrote the
following, which now reads almost like prophc-
'Thc last saw of Eugene NIontijo she was
one of the rcgning bellies of Madrid. Now Eu-
ucnie is upon IL throne launched from return
less shore, upon Il dangerous sea, infamous for
its tremendous shipwrccks. Am to live to

of this suddenly conjurcd up empire, which
seems to be made of such stuff as dreams are
made of? confess my personal acquaintance
with tho individuals in this historical romance
gives me an uncommon interest in it: but
consider it stamped with danger and Instability,
and us liable to extrayagant vicissitudes us one

= Acts of generosity like the following are
so rare it is Il pleasure to put them upon record
when they do occur: The terrible hal-storm
which swept over portions of Burlington coun-
ty, n j., some time since, was very severe on
the crops of hard-workng man who rented q
farm of Quaker lady ut an annual rental Of
81 200. The lady called upon her tenant and
said: 81 have heard of thy misfortune, and came
over to commiseralc with thee" "Ycs, ma'am,
It's very unfortunate for me-" Are the build
ings injured much?" "No, very little" well,

A mechanic in New Orleans constructed

"A mechanic in New Orleans constructed
a safe which he declares to be burglar proof =
To convince the increduous of the fact he
placed a one thousand dollar bill in his pocket,
had himself locked in the safe, and declared
that he would give the money to the man that
unf.stencd the door. All the blacksmiths and
burglars in the State have been boring and
beating at the safe for a week, the man is in
there yet. He has whispered through the key
hole that he will make the reward ten thou
sand dollars if somebody will only let him out.
Fears arc entertained that the whole concern
will have to be melted down in a blast furnace
before he is released, and efforts arc to be made
to pass in through the kcy-hole a firc-proof
jacket, to protect the inventor while the iron
is melting. Tho inventor swears that if he
once gets out he will in future always try inc inc
experiment with a rival patcntee inside. He
says he never thought he should wish, as he
does now, that some one would find a weak
place in his armor.
