Plaster of Paris.

We cannot help believing that a
good application of Plaster of Paris to
meadow lands, and for that matter to
all crops of grain, would be attended
with the most beneficial results. It
acts on the soil differently from that of
any other fertilizer: All manures ex-
cept plaster, have tendency to render
the soil dry and porous. while plaster
makes it damp and compact. 1t acts
as fertilizer chiefly by drawing moist
ure from the atmosphere TO the roots
of the plant. Of course plaster is
simply ground stone, and all stones
draw dampness, and plaster will lie in
the earth for years in almost the same
state as when applied. A distinguish
ed agriculturistIin speaking of this
fertilizer says
Plaster, if properly used, has a
marked effect on the crops for num-
Der of years. 1t should not be applied
more than once in five years. If it is
applied often it does an injury. |
have heard farmers say that they had
applied 1t to fields till they would raise
nothing. 1t should not on any account
be applied very early in spring, and it
should not be applied unless the
ground and grass are thoroughly wet
with rain. Three barrels may be ap-
piled to field OF ten acres +; or two
barrels mingled with about the same
quantity in bulk of wood ashes. Plaster

Farmers will be interested to know
the results of the experiment made
during the past year as to the relative
merits of broadcast and grain drill
sowing, which was made on the State
experimental farm in Pennsylvania,
and from which we learn that 2 IL
bushels hand sowed, produced ll6 -
bushels, while the same quantity of
seed soWn on the same amount of land
sown with grain drill produced 127
bushels. In the face of such facts, it
is astonishing that so many farmers
fail to become purchasers of the val.
liable adjunct to husbandry-a grain
drill.

Cure for Sickly Pot Plants.

A French paper OF scissors, on the
authority of NJ. Wfllermoz, gives the
following cure for sickly pot plants,
which he states has been pursued fol-
some years with unfailing success by
NJ. Lucas, of Hohenheim. 1t is recon-.
mended in the case of plants which
have become sickly through over-wa-
tering, planting too deeply, &c.
Amongst the plants so treated We're
palms, roses, ficus elastica, and others.
Instead of changing the soil it lis well
stirred and soaked with water, heated
to temperature of 1913 deg. to 144
dag. (Fahr.) until it runs off freely
from the bottom Of the pots. After a
few days the sickly plants recover
their original look of health and vigor,
and begins to grow again.

Liver Complaint.

By r. V. PIERCE, Nj. d.. of the World S
Dispensary, Buffalo, n Y, Author of ''The
Peoples Common Sense Medical Adviser -
ETC., etc.
The Liver is the great depurating tpurify-
l49} organ OF the system, and has very APP
piDpriately been termed the "housekeeper''
of our health. | have observed in the dis
secting-room, and also in making p0st-mor-
tenn examinations of the bodies OF those who
have died of different diseases, that in q
large proportion OF cases, the liver has given
evidence OF having at some time been diseas
ed. Liver affections are equally prevalent in
beasts. Every butcher knows that the livers
of cattle, sheep, and swine, are ten times as
frequently diseased as any other organ A
healthy liver each day secretes about two and
half pounds OF bile. When it becomes torpid,
congested, or if, from any cause, it is evident
that the elements of the bile must remain in
the blood, thus irritating, poisoning, and
preventing every vital process. Nature at
tempts to rid the system of these noxiouS ma
terials b. means OF other organs, as the kid
neys, lungs, skin, etc, which become over
taxed in performing their additional labor,
and are unable to Withstand the pressure.
The brain, which is the great electrical Gen.
ter OF all vitality, becomes Overstimulatei
with unhealthy blood, and fails to normally
perform it's functions. Hence there is dull
ness, headache, impairment OF the memory
dizziness, gloomy torebodings, and irritability

creases enormously the quantity of
straw, and thus enlarges the yearly
manure heap. 1t is most effective on
peas and clover.
We have seen the most marvellous
results from the application Of plaster
on the sandy soil near and around
Minneapolis. Glover has been made
to yield three times as much more hay
in the same fields where plaster was
used.

BABETTE.

Alone and the golden waters
Are ripping to the west,
AID the chime from ST. Roch's belfry
Dies on the oceans breast,
And the dimpied waves are rocking
The fishers barks to rest
"Babette Babette y the mother calls,
Far up above the strand,
"Bring ir your fathers nets, my child,
And lend your little hand
To turn the wheel; nor linger there
So long upon the strand"
The sun is sinking in the sea
In crimson robes any gold;
A chilly breath the ocean stirs
And roughs her ringlets gold:
1t feels to her like farewell kiss
From lips now dead and cold.
The yellow light is on the wall,
The sea wall old and gray
With weed and hchen mantled all
In sober-hued array.
The children on the pier above
Are laughing in their play.
The quaint, old, red-roofed clustered town
Looks downward on the wave;
That sea from which her wistful eye
Some answer seems to crave;
That sea which took her love away
And gave her back grave
Oh, eyes that once so lightly laughed!
Oh, sad, sweet lips apart!
Once crushed with passionate kisses when
He held her on his heart.
That day she stood this wall beneath
To see her lover start;
To say again the last "GOd speed"
And wave her 'kerchief white,
And smile in hope-ah, God, who raised
Those breakers wild and white,
And babe the tempest to arise
And rage that livelong night,
And smote that little quiv'ring bark,
And tore the planks in twain,
Deal gently with the broken heart
OF her who all in vain
Poured ont her soul in fervent prayer,
Her love to see again.
No, not in vain. The morning dawnea,
The sunshine gittered fair,
And bathed in light battered corpse,
A CLEAN of golden hair
God only heard the cry of her
WIS found him lying there.

Many who are suffering from the eff
tects Of the warm weather and are debilitat-
ed, are advised by physicians to take 1uoder-
ate amounts of whisky two or three times
during the day. In a little while those who
adopt this advice frequently increase the
number of ''drinks,' and in time become
confirmed inebriates. A beverage which will
not create a thirst for Intoxicating liquors,
| and which is intended especially for the ben
eft OF debilitated persons, whether at home
or abroad, is DR.. Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic.
Containing the juices of many medical herbs,
this preparation does not create an appetite
| for the Intoxicating cup. The nourishing and
e-supporting properties of many valuable
natural productions contained in 1t and well
known to medical men have a most strength
| ening influence. A single bottle OF the Tonic
will demonstrate its valuable qualities. For
| debility arising from sickness, over exertion
| or from any cause whatever, a wine glass full
| of See Weed Tonic taken after meals will
| strengthen the stomach and create an appe-
| tite for wholesome food. To all who are about
| eaving their homes, we desire to say that the
excellent effects of Dr. Schenck's seasonable
| remedies, Sea Weed Tonic, and Mandrake
| Pills, are particularly evident when taken by
| those who are injuriously affected by change
of water and diet. No person should leave
| home without taking supply of these safe
| guards along. For sale by all Druggists
