the seeds" When, however. nitrate of
lime was substituted for the rain-water
with which the plants had been water
ed, the plants, before stunted and
dying, became thrifty, and in time ex-
mbided a luxuriant growth. The yield
OF dry substance when the plants were
watered with nitrate of lime was in sew
eral cases over fifteen times as much as
when pure water was used. "lt is
plain that the ashes used must have
contained appreciable quantities of
phosphoric acid and potash as well as
the lime, magnesia, sulphuric acid and
iron, which arenecessary for the growth
OF plants, for oil the addition of nitro
genized salts TO the ashes, abundant
crops of buckwheat and barley could
be produced. The addition of
potash and phosphoric acid did little or
no good, while sulphate of magnesia
seemed to do harm.
The question arose whether the pure
anthracite coal ashes were better in re-
spect to their content of potash and
phosphoric acid than ordinary sand.
To get light upon this point expert
ments quite similar to the above were
made with ordinary pit sand, such as is
common in the neighborhood of Bos-
ton; with pure white quartz sand, such
rs is used in making fiint-glass, and
with New Jersey green sand mari.
The pure quartz sand was found TO
contain very little nutritive materials,
while the ordinary pit sand was SUI
perior to the ashes of the Pennsylvania
white-ash coal, us regards the amount
of potash and phosphoric acid contained
in fit form for plant-food. The largest
yield was obtained from the green
sand, with solution of nitrate of pot
ash.
This series of experiments shows
that, while the ashes of the Pennsyl-
vania white-ash coal examined do con-
tain appreciable quantities of potash
and phosphoric acid in condition fit for
the support of plants, they are, never
theless, inferior in this respect TO an
equal bulk OF good pit sand from Mas
sachusetts. IL is interesting to note, in
all of the experiments, how readily the,
comparatively speaking, insolubIe rock
phOsphates of the sands are put to use
10y plants that are duly supplied with
potash and nitrogen, and other kinds
of plant-food, provided the soil is kept
moist. The experiments with the New
Jersey green sand illustrate very clearly
it's fertilizing value. both as regards
potash and phosphoTic acid, as well as
the Importance of using a nitrogenized
manure, in order that it may produce
its proper effect in field practice.
Chemical examinations were made of
the ashes used, and their absorptive
power was also studied.
On the whole, this series of expert
ments is quite interesting, and it is to
be earnestly hoped ADMINISTRATIONS of
this and similar character may be en-
couraged, so that we in this country
may no longer be SO far behind the
Europeans, and particularly the Ger
mans, in Investigations in agricultural
science.

Household Hints.

A farmers wife says Havingused
several different recipes for making
hard soap, and having found one very
much superior to any other, | venture
to send it to you. Take ! pounds o.
lime, 3 pounds washing soda, 2 gallons
soft water boil half an hour and settle
all night then pour off the liquid into
brass or iron kettle, and put into it a
half pound of rosin and three pounds of
grease; boil one hour and put into
your mould. 1t is ready for use when
cold, but improves with keeping in q
cool place. This recipe l have used
for number of years, and it has never
failed TO give perfect satisfaction. /
make it out of tallow, lard, grease arts
ing from meat boiling, drippings from
beef, mutton or pork, and always have
a good article. For toilet soap | use
perfectly pure, sweet lard or tallow and
white rosin, and give it a little longer
time in boiling, sometimes adding a
little borax, OF something healing to
the skin. OF course perfume and col
oring can be added also by those who
like them, but / prefer the pure article.
This soap | prefer for my own use to
the finest articles that can he bought /;
not only because it is an excellent and
beautiful soap, but also because know

And my life is flowing earthward fast and free

Agricultural value Of Anthracite Ashes.

In The Bulletin of the Bussey Insti-
tuition of Harvard University, lately
issued, are accounts of several series of
Investigations undertaken by Prof
Storer and his assistants, which are
not only interesting and valuable in
themselves, but also very encouraging
in the prospect they give for the Guilt
walton of agricultural science in this
country. Among these are several ex-
periments "On the Agricultural Value
of the Ashes of Anthracite" In these
experiments pots were charged with
ashes of Pennsylvania anthracite coal
and planted with oats, barley, buck
wheat, beans. maize, &c. In some
cases they were watered with rain-water
alone in others with solutions Of nitric
acid or phosphoric acid, combined with
lime, magnesia, potash, ammonia, or OF
several of these together. The ashes
used were free from wood ashes, thus
differing from those commonly pro-
duced in stores and furnaces.
Raised in the ashes with rain-watel
alone,' says Prof. Storer, "none Of the
plants really prospered. The bean.
and pens grew to considerable height
but il was plain that the matter oi
which the new parts were formed cam,
chiefly from the older parts. The nitro
gen, at all events, needed for the forma
ton Of new leaves and stems was ap
parently the same that had taken par
in the formation. Of the first shoots iron
