Bone as = Manure.

The bones of all animal creation are
composed of three substances, phos-
phoric acid, lime and gelatin, or glue
three of the best fertilizing substances
to produce good seed. But where do the
bones OF animals come from? Certainly
from the soil, through the grass, hay,
grain, ETC., consumed as food. There
fore, every horse, bullock, COW, sheep
and hog sent off the farm without return
ing like quantity of bone to the earth
causes our land to yield less and less
every year, till the land becomes what is
termed worn out. Besides, every load Of
hay and every bushel of grain sold Oft
the farm carries away the same material,
as it is the hay and grain that make the
bone of our cattle, horses, etc.
Five per cent. of all plants are COM
posed Of ten mineral substances of which
bone forms large part, and which
comes directly from the earth, while the
fat of animals is composed of carbon,
oxygen and hydrogen, three of the gases
that plants take exclusively from the air,
in the forms of carbonic acid and water,
and which constitute about "a per cent.
of all plants.-Louisrille Courier-Journa!.

marks that, when preparing to descend,

running toward us, and, as it was impos-
sible to know their intention, we again
took flight and assembled to nearly 200
feet. My wings alone produced this ef-
feet, and with great case. A
slight motion enabled US to ascend or
descend at pleasure" Before the dis
covery of ballooning NJ. Blanchard had
already made himself notorious by the
manufacture of a machine for flying.
He tried the invention in Paris, but un-
successfully, although it is alleged that
he raised himself short distance from
the earth with it. Not yet discouraged,
"he made second experiment" quaint
ly records contemporary, "by send
ing oft criminal in the machine
from the top of the Church of
Notre- Dame at Paris" The criminal,
who was condemned to death, was offered
his liberty if the experiment succeeded,
and, AYERS our authority, 1t ac0s successful
NJ. Blanchard then built tying-boa to
carry the dispatches for the French Gov
ernmcnt from Brest to Paris; but this
project failed to answer his expectations,
and it was not until after the balloon eX-
PLOTS of Monsicurs Charles and Robert
that he learned how to traverse the air.
He must have been somewhat of a char
latan; and his repeated declarations that
he directed his balloon at will prevent us
putting much faith in his amusing &C
counts of his aerial adventures.
The rarefed air which the Montgolfiers
made use of was soon exchanged by later
balloonists for hydrogen gas; being the
lightest gas procurable it was deemed
the best for balloon navigation, but the
difficulty was in finding any suitable sub
stance sufficiently impervious to its es-
cape. Oiled silk, which was generally
used, could not retain it; and it was not
until Mr.. Green introduced coal gas, or
carburetted hydrogen, into his balloons
that this great obstacle was overcome.
All experiments to apply machinery to
direct balloons, and to overcome the cur
rents of air, have signally failed. All these
machines are at the mercy of the winds.
The muscular power Of birds proves con-
clusively that the strength required to
move in the air, or to fly, is so great, as
compared with the size of the bird, that
no machine could be built that could
carry, suspended in the air, machinery
enough to propel it.-Chambers' Journal.

Hot GRoUND.-The Virginia City (Nev)
Enterprise adds the following to its long
list of curious stories: I'VE are informed
that the reason why there are no shade
trees about the hotel at the Genoa Hot
Springs and why none can be grown
there is that the ground is too hot for
them. 1t is said that upon digging
through the thin surface soil sub
stratum of hard earth--callcd Eard-pan
is found. This is two or three feet in
thickness, and upon digging through it
almost anywhere in the neighborhood
boiling hot water is encountered. On
account of this subtcrranean lake of hot
water trees of no kind can be made to
grow in the neighborhood. Soil enough
for the nOurishment of the trees cannot
be collected upon the surface, and the
moment their roots pass through the
substratum they are in hot water and are
cooked. BY sinking an artesian we'll in
this place there could doubtless be OBJ
tanned fine fountain of hot water, but if
it were desired to surround this fountain
with trees it would be necessary to have
them made of cast IRON"

the difference in results. Then, again,
the proper time and good preparation
make difference in the quantity Of seed
sown, and this accounts for the differ
ence in practice-one man sowing six
quarts and another sixteen to the acre;
and both are right, and generally have
about the same stand of plants. The
one depending on the better preparation
and more proper time requires less seed !;
and sometimes the use of roller makes
all of this difference. More than one
half of the grass and clover seed is
thrown away on bad management. This
is a great waste, and often useless,
though we must not forget that occa-
sionally we are compelled to SOW out OF
the best season, and must take the risk:
The weather is beyond our control, and
all we can do is to so arrange our plans
as to meet ordinary conditions" Rural,"

STEALING HEAVENS

STEALING HEAVENS LIvERY.-The
great Alcoholless Remedy, VINEGAR BIT
TIERS, is everywhere driving pestiferous
rum potions out of the market. That
famous combination of the finest me-
dicinal herbs on the continent of Amer
lea is accomplishing such cures of dis
eases which affect the stomach, the liver,
the bowels, the kidneys and the nervous
system that the grateful masses have
adopted it as their Standard Specific. The
various rum bitters have gone down be-
fore this pure vegetable antidote like
tenpins before a well-aimed ball. The
people have at length discovered that all
the spirituous excitants are worse than
shams-that both morally and medici-
nally they are inimical to the well-being
and safety of the community. Nwont do.

are weighed and found wanting. Rum
remedies are defunct and VINEGAR BIT

their stead. 6

Mark Twain on Accident Insurance.

At recent insurance dinner in Hart
ford Mark Twain said:
GENTIEMEN-I am glad indeed to assist
in welcoming the distinguished guest of
this occasion to city whose fame as an
insurance center has extended to all lands
and given us the name of being quad
ripple band of brothers working sweetly
hand in hand, the Colts Arms Company
making the destruction of our race easy
and convenient, our life insurance citi-
zens paying for the victims when they
pass away, Mr.. Patterson perpetuating
their memory with his stately monuments,
and our fire insurance companies taking
care of their hereafter. am glad to
assist in welcoming our guest-first, be-
cause he is an Englishman, and owe a
heavy debt of hospitality to certain of
his tellow-countrymen; and secondly,
because he is in sympathy with insurance,
and has been the means of making many
other men cast their sympathies in the
same direction.
Certainly there is no nobler field for
human effort than the insurance line of
business-especially accident insurance.
Ever since have been director in an
accident insurance company have felt
that am a better man. Life has seemed
more precious. Accidents have assumed
kindlier aspect. Distressing special
providences have lost half their horror.
l look upon a cripple now with affection
ate interest-as an advertisement. do
not seem to care for poetry any more. l
do not care for politics; even agri-
culture does not excite me. But to me,
now, there is charm about railway
collision that IS unspeakablc.
There is nothing more beneficent than
accident insurance. / have seen an en-
tire family lifted out of poverty and into
affluence by the simple boon of a broken
leg. have had people come to me with
tears in their eyes to bless this beneticent
l have seen nothing so seraphic as the
mans face when he feels in his vest
pocket with his remaining hand and
finds his accident ticket all right. And
have seen nothing SO sad as the look
that came into another splintered GUS
TONER'S face when he found he couldn't
collect on a wooden leg.
Twill remark here by way of an adver-
tisement that that noble charity which
we have named the Accident Insurance
Company is an institution which is pc
culiarly to be depended upon. A man is
bound to prosper who gives it his Gus
tom. No man can take a policy in it and
not get crippled before the year is out.
Now there was one INDECENT man who
had been disappointed so often with
other companies that he had grown dis
heartened, his appetiteleft him, he ceased
to smile-said life was but WEAKNESS.
Three weeks ago I got him to insure
with us; and now he is the happiest,
brightest spirit in this land-has a good,
steady income and stylish suit of new
bandages every day, and travels around

Seeding Of Grass Lands.

There appears no settled rule in regard
20 the seeding of grass land. Farmer A
has sown in the spring and had excellent
success, while Farmer b failed of 8
stand; and SO it is for all seasons OF the
year, failures and success lie along the
pathway. To the practical farmer the
success is plain, for then the conditions
of moisture and warmth we're favorable,
and, on the other hand, unfavorable. In
this part OF the country the best time for
seeding is after the ground has been
frozen and a light snow has fallen. The
snow is useful as showing how the seed
has been distributed, and the first thaw
carries the seed to the moist earth and it
becomes imbedded into it, and on the ap-
proach of warm weather is sure to grow.
In short, [ have never known failure
when thus sown. For this purpose the land
should be prepared in the fall, narrowed
and rolled. At all other seasons there
is more or less of risk, as the season may
not be SO favorable. During wet sum-
mcr we may SOW at any time, and have
known many instances of success in SOW
ing on the stubble in July and August,
but it is many years since such a venture
would have been q -success. Some argue
that any time during the winter will do
equally as well, but such is not the fact,
and the better time is early in the season
along with the first light falls of snow.
AS regards clover the same rule holds
good. We cannot always meet this re-.
quirement, for various reasons. Last
spring sowed clover as late as the first
of May, but, although put in an extra
amount of seed, the stand was not good.
The seeding was sort of necessity, as the
land was SO dry the preceding fall that
it could not be put in order, and the
springs rains had to be waited for. The
same condition is now present, and /
wish to prepare large amount of land
for seeding; but that is out of the ques-
ton, unless we have good soaking rain
to make blowing possible. Some little
of this land can be prepared with the
harrow and roller; but l fear that the
story of last spring will have to be re-
peated, and the chances taken on q wet
spring. No set of fixed rules can be ad-
hered to, for things must be taken as
they are; yet we must select the best
time, and take advantage of it when
possible to do so. 1t is this that makes
