Charcnal.

In discussing the use of charcoal the Garden
er's Chronicle says:
Another, and by no means unimportant ap-
plication of charcoal Is as a manure; for this it
may be used in variety of ways, but the fol-
lowing composition is specially commended:
Twenty pounds of charcoal, four pounds night
soil, and one pound of urine, mixed together
and applied either in dry or liquid state, ac-
cording to the state of the weather. If used in
the liquid state it should be diluted with tank
or rain water, or if with urine from the yard.
little quicklime should be added to correct the
acidity.
Another excellent mixture for general use is
composed of twelve pounds charcoal, twelve
pounds night soil. forty pounds COW dung, and
two pounds saltpetre, mixed together and re-
duced into powder and sown upon the land
similarly to guano or bone-dust. Among for
lists it is also used in its simple form, being re-
duced to coarse powder and dug into the erouud
like ashes; it is said that not only accelerates
the growth of young and delicate plants to
marked degree, and induces cuttings to strike
root, but that it has a powerful influence in
frightening the colors of flowers generally.

II ed Jersey Pigs.

This breed is much talked about in Ken
lucky. In answer to some inquiry made by
the Kentucky Home journal a correspond
ent writes to it from Salem, New Jersey:-I
believe these hogs were orig. mated in this 10
cslity, where they have been the leading
breed of swine for the past twenty-five or
thirty years, some of our breeders, in the
meantime, having tried first one and then
another of the newer breeds, such as Berk-
shires. Essex, Sussex, Chester Whites, Po-
land Chinas, Yorkshires, etc.-Only to re-
turn to the Reds, after finding by expert
ment that they were better adapted to the
wants of the general feeder than any of the
newer varieties they had experience with.
They are very hardy, great feeders, and re-
markable breeders; fatten readily at any age,
yet, with time. attaining great weights. They
have been fed as high as 1900, and quite fire.
quently attaining 1000 pounds. fed one
four months two years ago which weighed
845 pounds, and was pronounced the finest
hog ever shown by the hundreds who visited
it while exhibited in the city Of Philsdel-
phia.
