AGRICULTURAL.

CHARCOAL As MANURE.-There is
no fertilizer SO easily produced by
American farmers as charcoal In
wooded countries, large quantities OF
logs and stumps are obstructing the
implements of agriculture, and ready
way of disposing OF them IS by con-
yerting them into charcoal. In prairie
countries where wood is scarce, peat,
turf or clay may be charred and turned
into a manure still more valuable than
pure charcoal. A pile Of logs fourteen
feet long, three feet high and three feet
wide, when perfectly burnt, yield only
three bushels of ashes and these not
equal to charcoal, bulk for bulk. A
pile of similar size yields from twenty
eight to thirty bushels of charcoal
The stimulating power of carbon
upon seeds is noticed by Liebig in his
chemical explanation of the effects OF
charcoal as fertilizer, He states that
the carbon of the charcoal forms the
base of carbonic acid, which acts bene-
fcially on plants, by gradual combi-
nation with oxygen, but he admits that
the beneficial effects of charcoal as a
fertilizer, depend upon the presence OF
other substances besides carbon. He
says that plants thrive IN powdered
charcoal and may be made to blossom
and bear fruit, if exposed to the influ-
ence of rain and the atmosphere. Rain
water must therefore contain one of the
essentials of vegetable life, and this is
ammonia
An instance of the quick vegetation
of seeds produced by the use of pow
dered charcoal is related by Mr.. Rayn-
bird in the Journal of the Royal Agri-
cultural Society of England, Vol. Z,
page 54l. He says during a very dry
summer of 1914, wood charcoal, pow
dered fine, was drilled with carrot seed
with which it was well mixed to prevent
the seed clogging in the drill 1T served
two purposes-the seed was deposited
with great regularity in the drills, and
the carrots made their appearance above
ground in a few days notwithstanding
the dryness of the weather, and grew
rapidly. The crop was a good one for
the year, being upwards of five hun
dred bushels per acre.
In 1916, forty bushels of powdered
charcoal per acre, were drilled in with
green topped Aberdeen turnIps in a
light sandy loan, the previous crop
being rye and vetches mown for soil
ing. The young plants appeared above
ground in a short space of time, and
were singled out in week, as soon as
turnipS of quicker growing kind that
had been drilled twelve days earlier
with one and one-half cwt. of guano,
mixed with peat ashes per acre. The
good effects of charcoal as fertilizer
last for hundreds of years.-This has
been proved at Thurstable Hundred in
Essex, England, where there is large
mound that accumulated around a Ro-
man pottery. The earth of the mound
contains large amount of charcoal,
and produces remarkable effects when
applied as manure.

CONVENIENT PREPARATION OF CAR
DONATED WATER.-An ordinary syphon-
bottle is employed by Gawalouski of
Prague, instead of the usual Liebig's
apparatus, by placing in it, when filled
with water, a small tin tube closed with
a serew-cap, and supplied near the top
with several holes about l-10th of an
inch wide, and charged for two quart
bottle, by placing in it 80 grains Of
bic.-:bonate of soda and upon it small
perforated tin disc, and then 209 grains
of tartaric acid. The water passing into
the tube causes the development of
carbonic acid.

A GOOD interpreting compound is
prepared by melting paraffin and adding
gradually suitable drying oil, stirring
we'll to insure intimate mixture it is
then poured into moulds the shape of
bricks or blocks, and allowed to cool.
The fabric to be rendered waterproof is
rubbed over with a block of the COM
pound, warming therubbing face gently
if the atmosphereis cold, and then iron
ing the cloth with a warm iron, or
passing it between hot rollers. The ap-
plication of his compound to leather
and textile and felted fabrics is said to
give excellent results, as, although it
renders the cloth thoroughly water
proof, it is not impervlous to air.

To OBTAIN light instantly without the
use of matches and without the danger
of setting things afre, take an oblong
vial of the whitest and clearest glass ;
put into it piece Of phosphorus about
the size of pea. upon which pour some
olive oil, heated to the boiling point,
filling the vial about one third full, and
then seal the vial Theoretically. To use
it, remove the cork and allow the air to
enter the vial and then recork it. The
empty space in the bottle will then be-
come luminous, and the light obtained
will be equal to that of q lamp. As
soon as the light grows weak, its power
can be increased by opening the vial
and allowing fresh supply of air to
enter. In Winter it is sometimes neces-
sary to heat the vial between the hands
to increase the fuidity of the oil. Thus
prepared the vial may be used for six
months. This contrivance is now used
by the watchmen of Paris in all
magazines where explosive or infiamma-
BILE materials are used.

THE Chinese, more than any other
people, have reduced the saving of fer
tilizers to science. 1t is well known
that they scrupulously save, disinfect,
and put to valuable use every particle
of offal. In no other way could their
land be so enriched as to support Its
teeming inhabitants. Liebig traced
the primal fall of Rome to the building
of her great sewers, which conducted
to the Tiber fertilizing material which
should have been applied to her soil.
1t was the lack of breadstuffs, conse-
quent upon the poverty of the arabic
lands, which drove the Romans to for
eign conquest, and ended in the over
throw of their liberty. Our people are
wasting every day substances which, if
properly utilized, would save them
many a dollar and much tribulation.

HFRosTED grass does not tend to dry
up cows. Apples in moderate quanti-
ties have no such tendency, but on the
contrary may be fed to advantage-es-
pecially sweet apples. Potatoes are
said to dry up cows nothing is
more absurd, for they are an eminently
miIk-producing food-and when small
potatoes are not boiled and fed to pigs,
the cows ought to have them. Pump
kins are well known as excellent milk
feed. The seeds, however, are diuretic
in the tendency and very likely reduce
the quantity of milk.

THE HOURLY DEATH RATE-Dr. Law
son, an English physician, has recently
published some curious observations
regarding the time of the day when the
greatest aud least number of deaths
occur. He finds, from the study of the
statistics of several hospitals, asylums,
and other institutions that deaths from
chronic diseases are most numerous
between the hours of eight and ten in
the morning, aud fewest between like
hours in the evening. Acute deaths
from continued tevers and pneumonia
take place in the greatest ratio either in
the early morning, when the powers of
life are at their lowest, or in the after
noon, when acute disease is most active.
The occurrence of these definite daily
variations in The hourly death rate is
shown, in the case OF chronic diseases,
to be dependent on recurring variations
in the energies of organic life and in
the case of acute diseases, the cause is
ascribed either to the existence of a
well marked daily extreme of bodily
depression, or daily maximum of in
I tensity Of acute disease.

SALTWATER ICE.-The notion gene
rally prevails that when salt water
freezes the ice is fresh, and when

Tyndall states that such is The case in

was "never able to find sea ice, in situ.
either eatable when solid or drinkable
when thawed-it being invariably too
salt" He adds, however, that when
his party found ice projecting above
the water, and from its appearance in
dicating that it was a year or more old,
it was generally fresh, and made good
drinking water. His theory explaining
the fact is, that the salt is not itself
CONCEALED, but that concentrated
brine, imprisoned in minute cells, is
retained in the solid ice. These cells
communicating with each other, when
the ice is lifted above the general level,
the brine is drained off, leaving the
mass fresh.

FISH CAKE.-1. Put the bones of the
fish, with the head and fins, into stew
pan, with about a pint of water, add
pepper and salt to taste; one good
sized onion, a handful of sweet herbs,
if you like, and stew all slowlyfsor about
two hours. Then mince fine the clear
meat of the fish, mixing it well with
bread crumbs and cold mashed potatoes,
and small quantity of fine chopped
parsley season with salt and pepper
to taste, and make the whole into a
cake with an egg well beaten. Brush it
over lightly with white of egg, strew
with bread crumbs, and fry of rich
amber brown. Strain the gravy made
from the bones, ETC., and pour it over I;
stir gently for ten minutes of quarter
of an hour Serve very hot, with garnish
of parsley and lemon slices. 2. Care
fully remove the bones and skin from
any fish that is left from dinner, and
put it into warm water for short time.
After taking it out press it dry and beat
it in mortar to a fine paste, with an
equal quantity of mashed potatoes, and
season to taste. Then make up the
mass into round fiat cakes. and fry them
in butter or lard till they are of fine
golden brown color Be sure they do
not burn. Goldfish is excellent recOoked
