torted Mr. Harley. 'Rut warn you, could
not have my name coupled with that of a-a-a

Clara was getting ,exed In her turn.
sYou need not be troubled about it, she said.
Il think am strong enough To stand it, alone.
And have quite decided to do as l have said,

That means of course, then-parting for u.s.
Very well, sir, If you choose 10 put It so.'
And the playing went on soft and low. Lit
tie more was said by the couple sitting side by
side at the piano. Mr.. Harley, when leaving at
the end Of the evening. said in a low tone to
Clara, III you do as you have said, il means as
l have said-partingl Let me entrea. you to
alter your mind before it is 100 late.' The
threat in the tone grated more harshly on
Clara's feelings than that conveyed in the
words. lie went on more persuasively: Send
me word to morrow by your brother Frank
that may call for you TO 60 TO the concert
Tuesday evening, and will understand that
you have yielded To my wishes in this matter,
and all will he right between u.s.
IF change my mind will send the message
as you request said Clara. Il shall do that
which seems 10 me right
And so they parted.
Clara Lord kept her engagement with Mrs.
Reynolds the next morning and gave steadfasi
attention to the duties she had assumed. When
Tuesday night arrived, did she expect Mr.. Har.

EFFECT OF LIME AND AsHEs.-Lme i'm
proves poor soils, especially sandy ones, by rem
dering them more compact and capable of re-
tanning fertility when applied. As promoter
OF health and yigor in appe-trees, 1t is one of
the best applications that can be made to the
soil. Under its influence trees mature well,
the fruit Is finer, and trees are free from disease
Lime may be applied with benefit on most sol
and many plants, but it is of specialvalue to the
apple-iree and strawberry plant, while ashes
are valuable on heavy or rich soils for the gros-
ser feeding OF plants, such as our native piums
and current bushes

LEAcHED AsHEs.-S. w. johnson, In lis
report on the Secretary's Agricultural Report Of
Connecticut, says about leacbed ashes, after an
alyzing number Of specimens, that the follow
ing are the conclusions he has come to:
1. Leached ashes generally contain less than
one per cent. ofpotash.
2. They contain large proportion mot less
than thirty-five per cent? Of water.
B. They contain considerable sand or soil
and unburned coal, six to fifteen DER cent
when not Intentionally or largely adulterated
4. The chief fertilizing element In leached
ashes Is carbonate Of lime.
The figures above gwen, for carbonate OF lime
are the percentages ofthis substance that would
De present, on the assumption that all the lime
occurred In combination with carboEic acid.--
This is indeed not true, very small portion
OF the lime existing as phosphate Of scate,
but practically We may assume that leached
ashes contain forty to fifty per cent of carbon
ate Of lime.
.. Leaehed ashes have an average content Of
little more than one per cent Of phosphoric
acld, and three TO four per cent. of nagnesia
o. They contain no nitrates, but the carbon
ate OF lime In them favors the development OF
hitrates when they are Incorporated with the
soil, especially in conjunction with animal
manures.
The price OF leached ashes was 20 cents a
bushel. writer in the Country Gentleman
struck bushels this would make the struck
bushels equal to 81 pounds. The heaped BUSH.
els would, therefore, weigh II pounds. AT %
| cents bushel, the cost would be about 10 OF
cent per pound, or IS cents per 100 pounds
equal to ST per ton.
The feItilixing value of 100 pounds of leach
! ed ashes lies exclusively in the 20 or 80 pound.
Of lime, 2 1-2 of magnesia, 1-2 Of phosphoris
acid, and or pounds ofpotash, which they
contain.
These materials may be procured In othel
forms, as follows So pounds of fresh burned
oyster-shel, or stone lime, will furnish the lime
10 pounds of any good superphosphaie will
supply the phosphor.c acid. The magnesia ant
the potash together may be obtained In Il
pounds of German potash salts, and there will
then be 4 or pounds of potash and pound
of sulphuric acid extra.
If the lime be Stacked with water In whirl
the supeiphosphate and potas h salts have beer
soaked and partially dissolved, the resulting
mass VIII contain not only all the fertilizing ci
emehts OF 100 pounds Of leached ashes, an,
more, but these elements will be in such a stat.
oil line division as to render The mixture, in al
respects, equal 10 the ashes themselves,
From these data any one can readily calcu
late the cost of leached ashes substitute, In hi
own locality. 1t must not be forgotten that
mixture made OF caustic (fiesh burned) linn
should be allowed to become mild by exposur
TO the air, or its peculiar effects on the So
should be anticipated and provided for.
