Effect of Fertilizers in Different Seasons.

Effect of Fertilizers in Different Seasons
The editor of the Boston Journal Of
Chemistry, in giving the results of his
farm operations the past season, says: w
One of the most interesting facts which
this extraordinary wet season has brought
out, is, that fertilizers applied toSsoils in
dry summers without appreciable effects,
are rendered available in those that are
wet. The plats upon which eur fertilizers
have been applied during the past years,
when the rainfall has been so deficient,
produced wonderfully this season. The
fertilizing substances have been lying dor
mant in the soil for the want of water to
render them soluble or to hold them in So
luton, and this year the conditions have
been favorable for promoting the changes,
chemical and mechanical, necessary for
plain food to be made available ,..,-...
Owing to the dry weather the past three
years it has been difficult to conduct ex-
periments with manures, and reach any
thing like reliable results. Hundreds of
farmers have been misled, and have CON
demned as worthless manurial substances
which had positive value, but which need
ed the usual meteorological agencies to
render them aSSlm1laDle. arm dung ana
stable manures, as. well as chemical fertili-
zers, have not exerted their full influence
upon soils to which theylhaye been appi-
ed, because of the absence of rain.>.
This, season they have been thoroughly
subjected to, the action of water; and crops
have been benefited BY the dormant man
urial agents applied two or three years
ago. Manures are not lost which do not
act promptly, unless they are blown away
bywinds, or. are washed INTO brooks, in
sudden and violent showers, which some
times fall upon the baked earth in sum-
mer. It they remain in or upon the soil

: The Best Food for Horses.

For horse feed Indian corn possesses all
the elements of warmth and nutrition, and
is calculated to supply the wear and tear
of the hardest worked horse, and keep him
in a healthy cond ition, without any assist
ance from oats; but. the usual addition of
hay should be allowed to horses, whatever
be the feed that is in use. 4 By, a reference
to the analysis of corn, twill beiobserHed
that there is little loss from woody fibre or
other inert substance. 1t is this principle
contained in corn that is, to be modified
and corrected as feed and, not to, be adj
ded to by a greater concentration of nu-
tritive matter; or in other words add to
the corn materials that do not contain, or
at least but in small degree, those power
full constituents that characterize, Indian
corn; and for this purpose we will recom-
mend that the corn be in minute division
or ground. into meal, to insure greater
division in the stomach, and less concen-
tration than would result by feeding it
whole and not mixed with extraneous mat
ter, as cut hay, or chaf and a little bran.
The bran is to prevent, or at least modify,
the costiye or binding or heating effects Of
the corn; the chaff or cut hay is tt. give
sufficient bulk to the feed, thereby keep
ing the; bowels moist and the meal from
contraction. LAT the same time the horse
has feed before him Of which he can eat
his fill without producing cramp or collie,
which often results from feeding corn whole
in meal without, a sufficient mixture or
bulk being given it. 1t is the want of
knowledge, together with the extra trouble
in cutting hay and mixing such feed, that
forms the chief arguue emit Of some BILE
nen against feeding with corn and in far
Eor of. oats. A carriage or saddle horse,
used for shopping, for afternoon, rides or
drives, can be kept in excellent condition
on six pounds Of corn meal, three pounds
of cut haY55'two quarts of wheat bran and
a, teacup Of salt. '".,'''' :

Miss Alexander, who was ten years
IN the family OF Brigham Yonng, de-
livered .lecture it, Chicago on the
evening of the "a, at tho Academy OF
Music, on Mormon lite in Utah. It
was the first time that tho lady had
been before an audience in the char

was a successful one, and the quiet,
prepossessing appearance OF the lady
won the synpaLhies OF the audience
Miss Alexander has fine, clear, dis

stage presence, aud wilhal the ele,

introduced the subject by stating
that she endeavored to give in aer
lecture but brict outline OF her ex-
perience among the Mormons. The
following is y bret synopsis OF her
lecture:
She was born in Wheeling, West
Virginia. Her father died when she
was too young to know his face
Her mother soon alter removed to
St. Louis, where she (her mo.her)
was induced to JOIN the Mormon
Church. They lid not think at the
time that she was devotiny herself
to the religi. n, as tar as its indorse
ment OF po'ygamy was concerned
She thought whatever her mother
did was right and proper. Had she
known what she was committing
herself and daughters TO, she would
have shrunk from it as from pcsti-

"Brethern and sisters. it is moved

chance Of ascertalning the true con

count OF the snfforings entailed upon
her by the Mormon system in hast
ening the death OF her mother,
through ths man whom they ha 4
looked upon AS being kind father
taking to himself another wife. She
also alluded in a touching manner to
the death OF her sister, whose child
she had taken To educate and sup

A well.kept Secret.

Brattleboro, Vermont, tells story
Of well-kept secret. The story
goes that a boy way back in 1911,
made kite and attached 4 paper
lantern to 1t, in which he put candle
and arranged it SO that when the
candle had burned out it would ex-
plode some powder which was in
the bottom of the lantern. He kept
the secret entirely to himself, and
waited Tor a suitable night in which
to raise his kite. The boy got his
kite into the air without being dis.
covered, for it was SO dark that moth
ing but the colorel lantern was visi-
BILE. II went dancing about IN the
air wildly, attracting much notice,
and was looked upon by ignorant
people as some supernatural omen -
The evil spirit, as many supposed it,
went bobbng around for about
twenty minutes and then exploded,
blowing the lantern to pieces. Next
morning all was wonder and excite.
ment, and this lad, who had carefully
taken his kite and hidden 1t after the
explosion without being found out,
had his own fun out of the matter
The people OF Brattleboro never had
any explanation OF the mystery un-
til nearly sixty years afterwaro, when
the boy, who had become quite an
old man, published the story in =
Brattleboro newspaper.

An English journal st tes that the
greatest comb mandatory in the
world is in Aberdeen, Scotland.
There are thirty-six fournaces for
preparing horns and tortoise shell
Tor combs, and no less than one hun
dred aud twenty iron screw presses
arc continually going in stamping
them. Steam power is employe to
cut the combs. The coarse combs
are stamped or cut out, two being
cut III one piece at time. The fine
dressing combs are cut by fine saws,
some as fine as to cut forty teeth in
the space Of one inch, and revolving
five thousand times in the space of
one minute There are some two
thousand varieties of combs made,
and the aggregate number produced,
ot all these different kinds, Is S,O0O,.
600 annually-a quantity that if laid
together lengthwise would extend
about seven hundred miles. Tse an
nual consumption OF ox.horDs is
about 10000, and the annual con-
sumption VI hoofs amounts TO 4,0C0;
the consumption of tortoise. shell aud
buffalo. o.horn. although not so largo is
correspondingly valuable. A hoof
undergoes eleven distinct operations
before it beeomes finished comb.
A singular fatality appears to have
attached to the new building Of the
Young Mems Christian Association,
as no less than eight sudden deaths
have occurred among the artists, occu.

Security Of Farm Property.

Farm property is secure in yielding
constant and remunerative labor. When
a man hears that he can carr say So per
day in a boundary or factory, he saws to
himself that is 5000 per year-perhaps
half the value of his farm; he fancies
he can live upon $500 and save the bal
ance, and so infers that it is better than
farming. But living in connection with
manufacturing, cannot he reckoned in
this wholesale way. Setting aside idle
days, sickness, accident and cessation of
work that detract from pay, the future
of labor in trades is dark and mprom-
Using. The antagonism between labor
and capital in this country is a fixed
fact, whether theoretically there a be
such an antagonism'o cor not. 1t is not
without significance that the Interna-
tionOl society is hereafter to have its
headquarters in New York instead of
Europe. This antagonism will not de-
crease. Whatever its issue, it will rem
der the life of the working man for the
next generation miserable and uncer-
tain by the contention in which he will
be necessarily involved. 1t is said that
the strikes are ended, I do not believe
we have seen their beginning. The
only certainty before the labor Of shops
and factories, is breaks, fuctuating
wages and general uncertainty. It can
not reckon on unbroken time and steady
wages.
A farmer whose cribs werefull of corn,
was accustomed to pray that the wants
of the poor and needy might be suppl
ed but when any one in needy eircum-
stances asked for a little of his corn, he
said he had none to spare. One day,
after hearing his father pray for the
poor and needy, his little son said to
him
'Father, I wish / had your corn"
"Why, my son, what could you do
with it?' asked the fathers

A Remarkable Flower.


A flower has been recently described
by an eyewitness at Constantinople,
which is SO great a rarity hat one is apt
to treat it as a fable and wait for the
confirmation of ones own eyesight. 1t
belongs the narcissus kind of bulbs,
and bears the botanic nam of ophyrs
mouche. There were three naked flow
ers on the stalk hanging on one side /;
the underneath one was fading, while
the two others were in all their beauty.
They represented a perfect humming-
bird. The breast, of bright emerald
green, is a complete copy of this bird,
and the throat, head, beak and eyes are
a most perfect imitation. The hinder
part of the body and thetwo o~utstretehed
wings are Of a bright rose color, n
might almost say flesh colored. On the
abdomen rests the whole propagation
apparatus, of a deep bark brown tint,
in the form of u two-winged gad-ny.
