CHEMICAL MANURES.

Prof Stockbridge, of the Massachus-
etts Agricultural College, contributed
the following on the above subject to
to the Scientific Farmer
1.-The objection is urged against the
use of chemical manures that, however
eficacous they may be in the produc-
ton of single crop, yet their continued
application would soon result in produc-
ing sterile soil, because the essential
element of organic, or carbonaceous
material, would become exhausted The
barnyard manure is the only substance
that will supply all the materials neces-
sary for the production of crops, and
maintain perpetual fertility. 1t is at
once admitted that organic matter is an
essential substance in fertile soil, also
that animal excrements-yard manures
are, all things considered, the best
manure. But it by no means follows
that in the absence of yard manure, or
where its price is very high, expedients
cannot be devised by which all the re-
quisites of perpetually productive soil
may be secured, while the specific appli-
cations are only mineral. There un-
doubtedly can be in all cases This
may be Illustrated by a four-course rota-
ton. Potash and phosphoric acid in
some of their compound forms, and in
the requisite amounts of each and all
for each crop, superior crops may be
produced; first of roots, second grain
and then grass, or more properly clover
two years. If the last crop of clover
is plowed in, that, with the large guam
tity Of roots developed by it, would add
more organic matter to the soil than an
average dressing Of yard manure, and
in other respect would enrich it more
than the remains of the same organ
ism. By this process every requisite of
q fertile soil is provided, the deficiency
of yard manure supplied, and culture
may be protracted indefinitely without
it. This is very good theory and it is
extremely difficult to pick flaw in it,
but what is better it is now an estab-
lished fact.

EARLY GROUND.

\ great advantage in every farm and
garden is to have some piece of early
land. If land freezes deep, it takes
long time to thaw out in the Spring and
become dry enough to work, and this
keeps back cropping till quite late. In
deed, it is often two or three weeks after
the weather would really permit of
planting, before it often can be done,
simply because the land is too wet or
too cold to let it he proper to be done
Many have sloping pieces Of ground,
that lay well to the sun, which gives
them ali this advantage. Water runs
off easily, and the sun by day warns the
surface so that the frost cannot pene-
trate very deeply, so that it soon thaws
out in the Spring, and is soon dry and
warm enough to plant. But those who
have not this advantage Of rolling sur
face, bat to whom a little patch Of extra
early ground is Of great use, have to
take some pains to get it. One thing
is worth remembering, namely: that the
deeper the ground freezes the longer it
is in thawing in Spring, and that the
wctter it is the deepera freezes; SO that
TO drain the land so the water will run
easily away. either over the surface or
through the subSoil, is one Of the best
methods of increasing its early capacity
for work Many take out their manure
in the Winter when the ground is frozen
and there is little else to do, and spread
it in advance for Spring. This does
very we'll when earlness is not of much
moment, but otherwise it is drawback
If ground frozen be covered, the rays Of
the sun have little effect on thawing.
and we have to wait for the warm rains
to struggle through and soften down
the whole. If covered before frost, it
prevents its penetrating deeply; but then
it keeps back rapid thawing. Nothing
is either gained or lost therefore SO far
as the sun is concerned; but if warm
rains come, there is gain in the earli-
ness Of such ground.
If only small piece for vegetables
in a garden be desired to be very early,
and there are but few in which such a
little tract be not very desirable, a good
plan is to cover with straw manure early,
before the fros. gets in, and then rake off
early in the Spring. A little care of this
kind makes couple Of weeks difference
in many cases, and this is worth look
ing for.

SOME ONE TO LOVE.

Perhaps one of the most positive
proofs we have of the souls indepen-
dence of the body is our great need Of
love and of something to love. Were
we mere ADMINISTRATORS doomed
to perish after few years of life in this
world-that which contents the brute
would also content us. TO eat and sleep
well, to have an easy time of it, would
be enough AS it is, we may have all
these things, and health to enjoy them,
and yet be utterly wretched. Neither
can mental food satisfy us. 'Some one
to love is our hearts crv
When the atmosphere of tenderness
is about us we rejoice when people are
harsh and unkind we suffer We begin
life wishing to love all people, and
believing that they love us. Experience
hardens US Our dear ones grow fewer ;
but, as long as reason lasts, we must
have some one-we must at least mag
inc that some one loves us. The parents,
sister and brothcrs-that dearest friend
whom we promise to love and cherish
until death parts us Afterwards come
the little children-frail, helpless babes,
who need our care so much. and friends
to whom we are not kin, vet who grow
dear to us.
Some have many loved ones, and
some but one Heaven help those who
have none, though they are generally
to blame for their empty-heartedness,
for kindness wins love They are always
wretched and they often show their
craving for something to love by cherish
ing some dumb animial-a dog, kitten
a parrot, perhaps. on which they lavish
caresses, which, better spent, would
have bound some poor heart to theirs.
Pride or morbid sensitiveness may have
been at the bottom of their loneliness,
and these pets of theirs fill the aching
void little
Some one to love! 1t is the cry of
the human soul, the note to which every
human heart responds the bond which
will bind us all together in that other
world where mourners shall be COM
forted and love shall reign forever

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION
IN HAY.

There are doubtless many farmers
who have experienced sudden and de-
tructive confa grations in their hay lofts,
which could not be ascribed to any ex-
terror agency Barnes have been known
to burst into flames, almost without
warning save perhaps significant odor,
for few days previously, around the
place where the hay was stored, and
Summers harvest is swept away in as
many minutes as it has taken days to
gather it. These unexpected conhagra-
tions are generally accredited to tramps
who have made the hay loft their sleep
ing resort, but it is now asserted that
such calamities are frequently due to the
spontaneous combustion of the hay.
circumstance theoretically quite possible,
but rarely considered Able Moigno,
in Les Mondes gives the following as
the theory of the phenomena. Hay,
when piled damp and in too large masses,
ferments and turns dark. In decon-
position sufficient heat is developed to be
unsupportable when the hand is thrust
into the mass, and vapors begin to be
emitted When the water is almost
entirely evaported, the decomposition
continues and the ha; is carbonized little
by little; and then the cbarred portion
like peat cinders mixed with charcoal,
sulphurous pyrites and Ignite, etc, be-
comes kind of pyrophorus, by virtue
of its great porosity and of the large
quantity Of matter exposed to high
eoxidation Under the influence of air
in large amount, this charcoal becomes
concentrated on the surface to such
degree that the mass reaches tempera-
ture which results in its bursting into
flames.
The preventives for this danger are
care that the hay in the lofts is kept
perfectly dry, that it is well packed, and
that it is stored in small heaps rather
than in large masses.

1@If reflective aged man were to
find at the bottom of an old chest
where it had lain forgotten fifty years
"a record which he had written of
himself when he was young, simply and
wildly describing his whole heart and
pursuits and reciting verbatim many
passages of the language which he sin
cerely uttered, would he not read it
with more wonder than almost every
other writing could at his age inspire =?
He would lose the assurance of his
identity under the impression of this
immense dissimilarity. 1t would seem
as if it must be the tale of the juvenile
days of some ancestor, with whom he
had no connection but that of name.

Stop MINUTE.-Don't hurry So
Move slower, it may be that you will 60
surer. Grind, grind, grind one ever
lasting grind from five in the morning
till ten at night chasing the bauble of
human riches. What is the need, pray
tell me? You already have Uough,
and more than you can use. You are
heapiug up wealth for others to waste, or
quarrel over when YOU are dead. And
half Of your heirs, instead Of recollecting
YOU gratefully, will contemplate your
departure from this hurrying scene
with infinite satisfaction. Do rest awhile.
You are wearing out the vital forces
faster than there is need, and in this way
subtracting years from the sum total Of
YOUR life. The rush and worry, day
after day, this restless anxiety after
something you have not got, is like peb-
BILE stones in machinery; they CRATE and
grind the life out of you. You have
useless burdens; throw them off. You
have a great deal of needless care dump
it. Pull in the strings. Compact your
business. Take time for thought of better
things. Go out into the air and let
Gods sun shine down on your head.
Stop thinking of business and profit.
Stop grumbling at adverse providences.
You will probably never see much better
times than these in this doomed world.
Your most opportune season is now;
your happiest day is to-day. Calmly
do your duty and let God take care Of
his own world He is still alive and is
the king. Do not imagine that things
will all go to everlasting smash when
you disappear from this mortal stage.
Don't fancy that the curse of heaven,
in the shape of the vain task of righting
up disjointed earth, is imposed upon
you. Cease to fret and fume; cease to
jump and worry, early and late. The
good time is coming, but you can never
bring it; God can, and will. Take
breath, sir Sit down and rest, and
draw long breath. Then go calmly
at the tasks of life, and do your work

TEACHING CHILDREN COURAGE
Courage is vital element of christian
chivalry. Without it, indeed, neither
truth nor fidelity to promise can be hoped
for The coward is sure to lie when
truth means punishment, and sure to
retreat from his engagements when they
involve peril We need valiant souls
that have learned to endure and scorn
pain, and to face danger fearlessly and
promptly when duty requires. Some
parents evade this vital part of training
by glasses and deception. A mother
who has taken her boy to the dentists
to get tooth out, will often say, if he
is shrinking. Sit still, my boy, it won't
hurt YOU" Now she knows it will hurt
him, but thinks if she can only get him
by this device to sit still and let the
dentist get hold of the tooth, then his
discovery of the pain will not hinder
its extraction. This is double mistake
1t destroys the boys confidence in her;
for he detects her in lie And though
it gets the boy this time, to sit still, it
is under the delusion that there is to be
no pain, whereas he should be fought
to face the pain and to scorn it-This
makes the difference between the cow
ards and heroes. A regiment of pol
troons could march up a battery as
cheerfully as regiment of heroes, if
they thought there was no enemy at the
guns. The difference is that heroes
know the danger and yet face it val
iantlv.
