THE PHOSPHATES AS FERTILIZERS

or the inorganic matter Low entering into
the composition Of q plant the phosphates are
among the most important. They not only
form O part of the inorganic skeleton, but by
their decomposition in the plant supply the
phosphorus which is chemically combined with
oxygen, hydrogen, carbon and nitrogen in the
n~utritive materials eliminated by vegetable
tissue for the support of animals. II is evident,
upon a moments consideration, that salts,
which are thus acted upon, play a far more
important part in the growth of a plant than
that of merely supplying certain chemical
ingredients. They enter the innermost life CT
the vegetable. The minute structures which
separate from the mass of the sap the ~nutritive
elements in question, are in contact with the
phosphates in their ultimate molecules and a
natural reaction takes place between them and
The salts. The phOsphates, therefore, must act
in the double capacity Of ailments and vital
stimuli to the growing plants. Boussinggault
employed o sterile soil of caloined quartz sand,
In which he sowed seeds of s~uufower, and Of
hemp. In one series of experiments he show
ed that the plants could not appropriate nitro
gen from the atmosphere, but that this impor-
tAnt substance must be furnished TO the soil.
He then tried the effect of a pure nitrate
upon q soil containing only vegetable ash.
The result was q feeble and imperfect vegeta-
ton. After this he added phosphate of lime
and obtained full and vigorous growth. The
difference between the two crops will be seen
by a comparison of the weights Of the plants
obtained under these different methods Of
treatment. When he trusted to nitre alone he
found that the weight of the plants was only
ten times that of the seeds, and the albumen
formed by them not more than a grain and a
half. When, however, he mixed phosphate
of lime with his nitre the plants weighed 1873
times more than the seed and the amount of
albumen formed was fifteen and a half grains.
The substitution Of ammoniaoal salts for Nitro
effected no material change in the results.

HOLLOWAY-A FRAGMENT CON-
CERNING HIS DOINGS.
Bostonian)

Professor Holloway is still in the prime Of
life, though it is now more than a quarter Of q
century since he perfected his discoveries and
gave them to the world. His yearly bills for
advertising, taking the average of the past
eight years amount to the sum Of two hundred
and twenty-three thousand dollars per annuan,
of which about one hundred and seventy five
thousand dollars are spent in employing the
columns of such journals as have been already
established. Tne balance is used for the
creation Of special organs in countries not
hitherto acquainted with the wonders of the
printing press and for educating and support
ing interpreters who accompany his agents
and make known the properties of his remedies
amongst barbarous and uncivilized tribes which
have no written language through which he
may address them. These missionaries Of
health" as they are called are chiefly employed
in Central Africa and among the Islands of
the Eastern Archipelago. In the former place
they rendered important service to the late
government expedition sent out by England
and it certainly was a CALLING confession for
Capt. Anderson, that after penetrating into the
wild and desolate region as far as he could or
burst go, the agents of q private individual
should laugh at his official fears, and offer to
conduct him "further and yet further, naming
the different stations ahead of me which Pro-
fessor Holloway had already established for
the sale of bis Pills and Ointment!"
The newspapers, daily and periodical, in
which these medicines are regularly advertised,
amount to three thousand, seven hundred and

requiring to be cut down annually, in
order to make room for the fresh suckers
which spring up. BY cutting away some
OF the suckers as they arrive at maturity
at different periods, and allowing others to
remain, a supply of fruit and also of stems
for fibre may be obtained throughout o
great part of the year. Prof. Royle says,
of the value of the %plantain fibre for paper
making, there can be no doubt. Some
paper, though unbleached, but excellent
MS far as substance and ~tenacity are con-
cerned, was sent from India by DR.. Hunter
in 1851. In the year 1916 Mr.. May
showed the author some beautiful speci-
mems of note and letter paper made from
plantain fibre.
At the present day the paper industry
is followed more or less in twenty-eight
out of the ffty-three districts in Bengal,
though the superior quality and cheap
prices of European paper, and paper To-
caIly made after the European method. are
gradually displacing the native production
in the markets of the country.
In conclusion, it is almost on all hands
admitted, that much valuable fibre which
might with very little trouble, and less
cost, be made suitable for the manufacture
Of paper, and even Of cloth, is now abso-
lhtely wasted in all parts of the country

EXPERIMENTING VERMIN
FROM

The FIRST and most important consideration in
the determination of the vermin i~nfesting poul-
try apartments is-the premises must be kept
clean. Most, if not all, the parasites breed and
multiply in the filth and dirt in and about the
hens quarters. The manure should not be
allowed to accumulate under the roosts and on
the floors of the houses. 1t should be deodo-
rized with dry earth or sifted coal
ashes or muck or plaster or other alb
sorbent, and removed at least once a
week, and deposited where the fowls cannot
gain ACCESS to it. This. when properly attend
ed to- will be found to render the task Of
keeping down the lice much easier. The quart
ers. including roosts. nests, walls, floors and
utensils of all kinds should be thoroughly
whitewashed. say in April, July, September
and November. The wash should have som
sulphur or kerosene or both incorporated with
It, and If it be put on hot it will be all the
better. II should be thoroughly applied to
every crack aud c%ranpy-no point being missed.

sixty-fve, of which two thousand eight hundred
aud sixty-thrse are printed in the European
tongues, while the balance of nine hundred and
two are divided between, the Chinese and
Asiatic tongues (the former very largely pre-.
dominating), and those other languages in
which Mr.. Holloway has made himself the
pioneer of printing. The management of this
mighty machinery of acknowledgements apart
from its ezpense-may we'll appear incredible
to ordinary minds but system and steady
business application can reduce apparent i'm.
possibilities to order, and under the experience
ed hands of a host of clerks and ~linguists, the
wheels of this elaborate and complex mechan-
ism %revolye with silent and simultaneous
precision.
AS to the number Of those who are annually
restored TO health by Holloway's medicines, 4
Committee confessed that it could not even
approximate the amount with any certainty Of
correctness. A box of Pills may represent the
individual who buys it, or a family of six or
eight for whose general use it is procured SO
also with a box of Ointment. Again, it may
be all consumed-though this is rare-for the
cure of one particular disease or it may cure
that, and yet another after that, and yet an
other, being kept in the house as a family me.

nit the5 have no means to judge. Again, both

EXPERIMENTING CUT WORMS.

In the last Agricultural report Professor
Townsend Glover has an excellent article, in
which he has illustrated and described several
kinds of this pesT. He says that many of these
insects are destroyed when in the caterpillar
state by the %footltss larva of a "Tachina," or
two-winged fly, which lives in their bodies.
Many species of icbneumon flies also destroy
them in a similar manner. Wasps carry them
of to their nests as food for their young, while
mul!itudes of the grubs are destroyed by crows,
black birds, &c, when p~loughed up in the
spring and lying helpless on the surface of the
ground. Fall plo0gbirg will turn up aud
expose these insects to the inclemency Of the
winter. MaDuring Ike field with sea mud ia
said to be useful. Searching tor the worms
when they come out to feed, or digging them
from their holes near the plant ard killing them
10 doubtless the most effectual remedy we can
employ. Curtis says One-Quarer ounce Of salt
dissolved in a quart of water will drive the
grub away and preserve the plant till washed
off by rain. Tobacco water will kill them
if il comes in contact with them. Quicklime
will also destroy them if put on the plants when
wet, and dry SCOT dug into the ground is very
offensive TO the grub" Studs made of one
pound Of soap TO ten gallons of water, and
applied warn, will cause them to dart out,
when they can be Immediately killed. -Four
ounces of aloes dissolved in a gallon of water
and applied to the plorts is said to preserve
them from The cpt worm. Smooth holes made
with rake or hoe handle near the plants Will
serve as traps into which the worms fall, and
may there be destroyed. Coal tar and water,
spoonful of the former to a gallon of the
latter, will it is said, drive the worm away
without irjur nc the plant. Where a few
choice plants are to be protected, this may be
dono by wrapping stiff paper or waInu. leaves
around the stem when setting them out,
leaving the paper a little above ground and an
inch or two below. Cow dung stirred in water
aud poured around the plant, so that the solid
part will remain and form a hard surface
through which the worm cannot penetrate, has
been recommended. For a similar insect In
Europe K0llar advises lime ashes applied to the
land, or lime water in damp weather. II the
female moths are attracted by sweet liquids,
many Of them may be killed and, as they are
also lured by lights in the evening, they may
be destroyed in this manner tc som extent.
, 1875-09-04

The roost poles or perches should be removed
and all the bearings or points of contact should
be especially treated, for it is in these places
the "mites" are most at home. After a
thorough application of the lime wash. the
rocsts should be we'll smeared with a mixture
of lard or kerosene. Careful, painstaking peo-
pie are not much annoyed by these pests but
where the vermin are not looked after and
kept in check they become very troublesome
and hurtful to fowls. We have known them to
kill not only young chicks, but even hens on
the nest while Matching. Generally a hen will
leave her nest and allow her eggs to spoil
rather than let the vermin destroy her. This
practice on the part of the hen is often a mat
ter of complaint, the owner not knowing what
10 the cause Of her leaving the nest.

about half past eleven q procession was
formed, preceded by four civic trumpeters,
executing what we are used to in Shakesperian
~reviyals as a " flourish of trumpets," and in
slow march went from the Guildhall to the
Council Chamber, where a sumptuous supper
was spread. This was intended for the grander
guests merely, and the dance went on in the
meanwhile among those less privileged.
