What Crops Leave in the Soil.

Experiments made in Germany hy DR..
Welske and several other savants show
that the stubble and roots in the earth, left
by crops that have been harvested, add To
the soil much more nutritive value than is
commonly supposed. These experiments
fully explain the great value Of clover as
a preparatory crop for wheat, and for all
other crops that are not MANFRED with
nitrogen, potash and phosphatos. The
clover of single acre has been found to
leave nitrogen enough for III bushels of
wheat, phosphoric acid enough for III
bushels, and potash enough for seventy.
eight bushels. Moreover, it is found that
most of this valuable material is left in the
best possible condition for use. Whether
the nitrogen of the clover comes wholly or
partly from the soil or from the air, it is
certainly taken from condition in which
it is of little use TO most crops, and is con
verified into an available one, 80 that, prac.
tically, the clover is creator of nitrogen
in the soil, as it is also sufficient purvey or
of potash and phosphoric acid.

ScOur in Lambs.

This disease, which frequently attacks
lambs in the summer months, may be eff.
fectually met by an experienced flock mas
ter who is acquainted with the symptoms.
A day or two before the complaint breaks
out, the lambs lose their liyeliness, and
their coats become staring. The scour
partakes of dark green color, but not
untrequently it is quite black and when
such is the case the disease should be at
once treated. The dose which ought TO
be administered to the animals is as fol.
lows: One ounce of castor oil, and thirty.
six drops of oil Of turpentine. The
disease, it may be remarked, is almost in
variably found to be produced by the
lambs eating young and oyer-succulent
grasses but sometimes it is traced to IN
wholesomeness of the ewes milk. The
disease must be quickly treated, and it will
be found that a dose of the mixture indi-
Gated will tend to greatly relieve the suf-
iering animal. 1t will be found good
plan also to vary the food of the ewes
little, so that the causes which bring on
the effectiveness of the milk may be re
moved. - Emu. L. s. J0nndl.

No feature OF Japanese society is more
curious than the relations between master
and man. The master admits his servant
TO his intimate society, but tho servant
never assumes a liberty. He takes his
place at dinner with the utmost humility,
and, having done so, bears his share ofthe
conversation, addressing freely not only
his master, but even guests of the highest
rank. The master will pass his own wine
cup to his man as if he Were an bonored
guest, and for while they would appear
to any one not acquainted with Ian
guage most fertile in. subtle distinctions to
be upon perfectly equal terms Yet the
moment the feast is over the man retires
with the same profound obesance snd
marks of Difference with which he entered,
and Immediately relapses into the serviter,
nor will he in any way presume upon the
familiarity which, having lasted its hour,
disappears until occasion calls it forth
again. Freedom of intercourse like this
between employer and employed is credita-
bic to both.

Hog Feeding.

Hog feeding should be begun at once,
giving grain in moderation, and increasing
it by degrees. 1t is good economy to con
tinue moderate feeding during consider
able period of time, rather than to feed
high during a short time. A smaller
quantity of food is more thoroughly di-
gested and more fully appropriated by the
feeding animal. Economy requires, too,
that the feeding should be done while the
weather is moderate, SO that there be little
consumption of food for keeping up the
necessary animal heat The best bacon is
made from hog that takes on flesh grad
ually, and is fattened in small, clean grass
lot, with stream of running water But
the greatest economy flood is in close peps
raised from the ground. Especial care
must be taken in this case to keep the pens
clean, and to save and compost the very
rich manure which will he made.

For The A'gis and Htelligenccr.
The Blue and the Gray.

By IyuRoS.
The threatening cloud has broken,
The storm has passed away;
The boys who wore the blue have spoken
Responsive to the boys in gray.
They oft have met as foemen meet,
Midst sabrer's clash, ana lannon's roar,
Now with friendly words they greet
Each other as in days of yore.
One common cause unites them now
In solid phalauX, side by side;
With purpose pure, as vestal's vow,
To stay corruption's rising tide,
The bloody past, they now ignore,
As brave men always do;
Their aim is simply to restore
Equal rights for gray and blue.
No taunting words offend the ear,
No boasttul language they display;
From towards lips those taunts we hear,
Never from the blue and gray
No color line their ranks divide,
No hostile feelings they display
Beneath one banner, side by side,
Stands the Black, the Blue, the Gray.
