COMMERCIAL FERTILIzERs.-A year
ago noticed an item in a newspaper
stating that ground bone and good un-
leached wood ashes mixed, in equal
parts, and barrel full of the mixture
wet with three parts of water, to stand for
ten days, made fertilizer equal to the
best phosphate of lime. | tried this
mixture last season on corn, using phos-
phate on half of the piece, and bone and
ashes on the other half, both in the hill.
| found the corn planted on bone and
ashes, looked the best while growing,
and yielded the best when harvested.
Let it be well mixed.-Cor. Maine

FAITHFUL DoGs.-It would be hard
to find human friend stick closer than
a couple of dogs of the spaniel breed
mentioned in the English journal, Land
and Water. During hot day in Au-
gust, two school-boys, brothers, went to
battle in a mill-pool before lunch;
brace of spaniels accompanied them
The younger brother took with him an
old hat to wear in the water, to keep off
the heat of the sun. While the boys
were bathing, the spaniels strayed away
some little distance. After they had
bathed, the boys separated, each going
to different house for the afternoon
The spaniels met the older brother as he
was leaving the pool, but noticing that
the younger one was not with him, re-
fused to follow him for more than a short
distance, and when they observed that
the younger one was not following him,
regardless of orders and whistling tho
as rule, they were not more partial to
one brother than another,) turned back
to the spot where the boys had bathed,
and, seeing the hat the younger of the
boys had thrown away, they plunged in
and brought it out. But still, as if
struck that something mast be wrong,
they kept swimming round and round
the place where they had found the hat
floating. A farmer living in the neigh
borhood, who had in the meantime met
the younger brother on his way from the
pool, passed the spot, and seeing the
spaniels, tried hard to pursuade them to
come away home, knowing to whom they
belonged. The dogs, however, could not
be seduced from the supposed drowned
body of their young master, and the far
mer left them. Meantime the younger
brother had gone home, and had heard
from his brother that the dogs had re-
fused to follow him. He went back to
the pool, and there, late in the evening,
found the spaniels still watching and
searching for him. Of course they came
instantly away with him, after dog

THE GREEK CHURCH IN THE
TURKISH EMPIRE.

The elements composing what is pop
ularly called the Greek Church in Tur-
key are various and SO discordant as to
threaten its disintegration. The spirit
of race has always been power in the
Eastern world. 1t led the Armenians
to separate from the Greeks at very
early period of their history. Monopoly
site heresy was resorted to merely as an
instrument of separation and of throw
ing the responsibility upon the Greek
Church
When the Byzantine Empire fell, the
Patriarch of Constantinople began to
lose his power. If the Turkish gov
eminent has sustained him in his plans,
it has not been from any fixed policy to
make the Greek element predominant
over the other races. 1t aided him in
subjugating the Bulgarians from motives
of its own. 1t is now equally willing to
release them from Grecian rule. Rus
STA exerts powerful protecting and pat
ronizing influence on behalf of the Greek
Patriarch Her motives are so plainly
selfish and political, that it adds moth
ing to the spiritual authority and pres
tige of holiness. Indeed, the patriar-
chatc' has become so plainly sheer po-
litical organization, that it can hardly
be said to have any religious character
at all. Many of its doings resemble too
much those of the Tamany Ring.
The Slavic element of this church is
at present its chiefpower Numerically
the church stands something like this
One and a half millions of Greeks, four
to five millions of Slavs, and three and
a half millions of Roumanians. These
latter add little to its strength, and care
little about it, Roumania is so nearly
independent of Turkey that it cares lit.
for Sultan or Patriarch. 1t is different
with the Slavs. They have been faith
full, submissive, and oppressed. They
have afforded fat bishoprics for Greek
bishops who have ruled them with roc
of iron. The shepherds crook has, per
haps, been sometimes used to chastise
rather than to defend the flock. Tht
flock is tired of it. 1t refuses to b
beaten any more. 1t even refuses to b.
heeced any more. 1t wants its owl
shepherds and is unreasonable every way
1t wants priests and bishops from it
own enclosures, and wishes to reject tn
Greek from all that power which he use
only for selfish purposes. The peopl
are rising in intelligence. The spirit o
race possesses them. The Greek patri
arch has tried hard to cast it out. [
will not be cast out. 1t grows stronge
and stronger The great danger to tn
Greek church is that it will lose thi
whole race. She does nothing t
conciliate it. She treats it imperilous

race by the aid of the Turk, and by thi
aid she hopes to perpetuate that power
The Turk has no such designs. H
wishes simply to manage the confictin
forces of his empire that they shall in
general way cancel each other. Thi
done he is satisfied. He has learne
most thoroughly the art of balancin
forces. He is the greatest adept in

SHEEP FARMING IN ScoTLANp.-Sb

SHEEP FARMING IN SCoTLAND.-Sheep
farming is an extensive business in Scot
land. In June last there were $780,
900 sheep in that country, and of these
100000 were on regular mountain
sheep farms; the remainder were on ar
able lands. In the Low land hills about
two acres are required on an average for
each sheep, and each farm grazes from
500 to $500 animals. The Highland
sheep farms comprise from 1000 to 25,-
900 sheep; the common size, however.
runs from 1000 to 5000. Highland
sheep farming is regarded as a more
speculative business than Lowland, the
weather being more severe. In the Low
lands the principal stocks are of the
Cheviot breed, while in the Highlands
the large proportion are the hardy black
faced sheep.

"A man in New Hampshire wants to
know how we would break an OK? If
only one OK, good way would be to
hoist him by means of a log chain at
tached to his tail to a pole forty feet
from the ground. Then hoist him by a
rope tied to his horns, to another pole.
Then descend on his back a five ton pile
driver, and if that don't break him, let

WHY DO ANIMALS NEED SALT PROF.
Jas. H. Johnson, of Scotland, says that
half the saline matter of the blood (75
per cent consists of common SALT and
as this is partly dissolved every day
through the skin and kidneys, the ne
cessity of continued supplies of it to
the healthy body is sufficiently obvious.
The bile also contains soda Zone of the
ingredients of salt) as a special and in
dispensable constituent, and so do all
the cartridges of the body. Stint the
supply of salt, and neither, will the bile
be able properly to assist digestion, nor
the cartilages to be built up again
as fast as they naturally waste. 1t is
better to place salt where the stock can
have free access to it, than to give it oc-
casionally in small quantities. Then they
will help themselves to what they need,
if allowed to do so at pleasure, other
wise when they become salt hungry,
they may take more than is wholesome.

FARM ACcoUNTs.-One trouble has
been that the books prepared for the
farmer, under so-called appropriate
headings, have been faulty and intricate
in the extreme. For the ordinary farm
er, to begin with, all that is wanted is
simple account book, with space for
complete inventory, with values on every
thing on the farm, from the land down
through the improvements, stock, fix
lures. to the most simple implement on
the premises. The value of these is the
capital employed. Now everything that
costs money the farmer is debtor to, and
what brings money, must be carried to its
credit. If this is done on separate pages
balance may be shown at any time,
whether debt or credit, and soon it will
become easy to separate this into differ
ent heads, showing what the family re-
ceives and produces, the cost and pro-
duction of each field and crop, and by a
little practice the farmer will soon be
enabled to know what anything and
everything costs about the farm, even to
the minutest details. Bookkeeping is
the ground work to success in trade, and
in no industry in life is it more neces-
sary than to the farmer, and no farm
er's son should be considered competent
to manage a farm until he understands
this important part of farm economy

ESSENTIALS IN THE IMPROVEMENT OF
SToCK.-At a recent farmers discussion
in Scotland. the following points were
taken up, as the leading essentials in
securing the improvement of stock:
81, pure blood; 2, high strain of
blood; 8, sound constitution free of
hereditary disease: 4, substance, SYM
metry and quality 5, a docile temper"
One of the speakers gave the following
good advice-since, as he said, it is
most important for any farmer that he
should proceed as rapidly, and at as lit
tie outlay as possible:-
''As it is the general recognized max
i'm that the exterior form partakes more
of the conformation of the sire than the
dam, and as one sire will to some extent
improve the whole of each years stock,
while female gives but one superior
beast, | would say procure superior
males at whatever cost; and should
they be too expensive for the size of
farm, let two or three farmers join in
the purchase and keep one animal.

take half-inch rope that has been
stretched until it cannot stretch any
more; tie around the horse about six
inches back of the pad and belly band
of the harness. Insert short stick and
twist it up nearly as tight as the rope
will bear without breaking: tie the
stick so that it will stay. Tie the horse
in stall where there is room behind
him to WELD long lash whip. and then
whip him around the hind legs very Sc
verely at the second or third blow, he
will generally kick with both feet with
all his might. If he has been in the
habit of kicking in the harness, drive
him with the rope on, two weeks, or I'M
til he quits making any threats. Some
will kick once or twice with one foot and
bob up and threaten for several days.
They should betickled or leased or have
basket thrown under them, or tin
pail tied to one hind foot to make them
try it, several times every day. After
being driven half hour, they will
shrink, so that the rope should be tight
