We believe in law abiding and though
this espionage over strangers has become
so offensive as to be injurious to the bust
ness of the city, we do not sug-
gest that the law shall DO broken
or nullffed with impunity, so long
as it stands upon our statute book. But
we do object to law, the propriety and adj
vantages of which are, to say the least,
questionable, being officiously and inquisi-
torially enforced when another law, the
propriety and advantages of which are I'M
questionable, is SO persistently and defiant
ly disregarded; and we trust that a little of
the superiuous energy which is bestowed
upon actual or supposed violators of the
sample merchant law, will be exercised in
lodging information against open violators
of the law to prohibit the carrying of con-
cealed weapons.

PRoT. VoELCKER'S OPINION OF ASHES
Our faith in the value of wood ashes as q
fertilizer has always been strong, and we
have often taken occasion to present testi
monv of their worth, from whatever re la
BILE source, practical or theoretical, it could
be obtained. That which follows is from
Prof. Noelcker, the eminent agricultural
chemist, without doubt the highest author
ity upon such matters in Great Britain. 1t
occurs in some remarks OF his before the
council of the Royal Agricultural Society
of England, in which he stated that be-
sides containing potash, wood ashes also
contained phosphate of lime in consdera-
BILE quantity, carbonate Of lime. He then
said "The application Of wood ashes
amounts to the same thing as dressing of
potash, dressing of bones, dressing of
gypsum, and a dressing Of mari and this
must surely account for the greater benefit
which wood ashes produce in comparison
with potash alone. | would rather buy
wood ashes therefore, by all means, than
potash for potash contains only one of the
above constituents. There IS a good deal
of potash in ashes, and although they have
been washed (leached), they still form sill
ca of potash" After the above, we place
greater confidence than ever in ashes, and
can with more faith urge our farmers to
save and apply them to the land. Just
think Of it-by using ashes you are the
same as applying dressing of potash, a
dressing of bones, dressing Of gypsum
and dressing of marl.' Therefore, save
every bushel of ashes, leached or unleached,
or your farms.
