 Science Instead of Manure.
 Prof. Stockbridge, of the Massachu- setts agricultural college, has laid down his formulas for growing wheat, cern and potatoes, all the results of chemical investigations into the nature of those different plants, and all verified by ac- tual experiments.
 Prof. Stockbridge's formula for pota- toes is as follows: Reproduce one hun dred bushels of potatoes per acre with out any manure, and their natural pro- portion of tops, more than the natural yield of the land, and in like propor- tions for other quantities, apply twenty one pounds nitrogen, thirty-four pounds actual potash, eleven pounds soluble phosphoric acid, obtained from four hun dred to five hundred pounds of crude materials; cost, $12.
 The formula for Indian corn, which will increase the natural production of an acre fifty bushels, is sixty four pounds nitrogen, seventy-seven pounds actual potash, thirty-one pounds soluble phosphoric acid, obtained from seven hundred to one thousand pounds crude materials, and costing about $25.
 His formula for wheat, which is cal culated to give a yield of twenty-five bushels per acre beyond the natural pro- duction, is forty one pounds nitrogen, tweuty-four pounds potash, and twenty pounds phosphoric acid, obtained from four hundred and fifty to six hundred pounds crude materials, according to grades, and costing about $15.
 Wind Calls.
 M. D. s. asks what will cure wind gall on horse's hind leg, just above the fetlock joint. The horse has been very lame with it two and half months, SC that he could not be used at all it is quite large and swollen. I at first blistered, but was told that was wrong have since used tannin and othel astringents.
 Reply.-Wind gals are only symp tom of inflammation of the membrane which covers the sinews of the leg, il consequence of which there is an exces sive secretion of serum that gathers 1T the tumors. The only probably effective treatment is absolute rest, and the appli cation of cold water bandages with pres sure upon the parts, or the use of iodine ointment. Cure is questionable in an, case, although the lameness may be re moved but when the horse is worked again the swellings will reappear. The, are caused by strains or overwork, O. are inherited.-NeW York Times.
 Artificial Butter.
 For making this the finest kind o beef fat is used. It is placed in colo water over night, then chopped fine ant placed in vat surrounded by steam at temperature of 125 deg, Fahrenheit The solid deposit is rejected, the oil, portion is cooled, packed in bags, ant pressed between sheets of zinc at temperature at from eighty deg. t ninety deg. until all the oil is extracte from the tallow, which remains solid i the bags. The oil is then churned wit sweet milk for half an hour, and the manipulated precisely like fresh butte made from cows milk. The best butte GOO parts) contains, according to 8 analysis by Dr. Thompson, of water 12.79; of butter oil, 86.27; of curd, O. 94 This artificial butter contains of wate S.5; of fatty matter, 85.4; of salt, 5.s and of curd, 0.6. It is in use in sewers of the hotels in New York city.
