All kinds of fruit trees require great
deal of potash and lime and some iron;
pears, peaches and grapes require the
most; pears require the richest soil.
Musty bottles or jars may be sweeten-
ed with lye or dissolved soda. Let either
remain in them short time, then dry
and scald them. They will not become
musty if little salt be kept in them.
As a manure, hardwood ashes are
worth more, weight for weight, than
land plaster. They contain from four
to five pounds potash to the bushel and
that is worth in the market not far from
eight cents pound.
Any dairyman troubled with cows
having sore teats should use plenty Of
linseed oil before and after milking
He will find but little if any sores or
cracks about his cows teats if this is
done. Many cows are kickers that would
delight to be MIXED if little linseed
oil were used on the teats.
The loss of udder may be cured by
the application of an ointment prepared
as follows: Iodide of lead, half ounce;
lard (fresh), quarter of a pound, mixed
we'll together. A portion about the size
of small hickory nut, rubbed in with
the fingers night and morning, will take
away the hardness and remove the en-
largement from the udder.
Small farms make near neighbours
they make good roads; they make plenty
of good schools and churches; there is
more money made in proportion to the
labor; less labor is wanted; everything
is kept neat; less wages have to be paid
for help; less time is wasted; more is
raised to the acre; besides it is titled
better; there is no watching of hired
help; the mind is not kept in q worry,
stew, and fret all the time.
The right way to keep sheep is to
keep them in the best manner; to keep
only so many as to have the best care
and attention, so as to give the largest
weight of fleece possible. The right
way is to Gull out the poor ones early,
those with the light fleeces, those that
are getting advanced in years, and put
them in separate pasture and fatten
them for the butcher The balance will
do better and give more weight of fleece
by this careful culling.
SCOT Is very powerful manure APP
piled at the rate of one pound to the
rod. One part of it and two of guano
in combination possess more stimu-
latilig ammonia than any proportionate
quantity of any other manure extant.
SCOT forms an exceedingly rapid stimu-
lator for peas, lettuce, carrots, spinach,
and most crops in a liquid state at the
rate of half an ounce to two quarts of
water, given so as to soak down to the
root. Always give SCOT while the plant
is in an active state

Bones Of the Dead.

Bones, new and old, wherever they can
be picked up, are put to variety of uses.
The fresher kinds of shank bones are
used for making the handles of knives,
forks and tooth brushes. From some
gelatine is extracted. When not SER
viceable for these purposes, they are
crushed into powder for manure. Bone
dust is worth 95 to Go los per ton.
Farmers buy it in large quantities for
fertilizing their fields. The importation
of this convenient fertilizer from foreign
countries is immense. Stories are told
of battle-fields being plundered for the
sake of the decaying bones of the SOL
diers who had fallen. Researches for
the material of bone dust are carried on
upon large scale in the ancient ceme-
teries and pyramids of Egypt. Long
ago, when the people of that country
mummified the bodies of their relations,
and slowed them tremendously away in
caverns, they were not aware that they
were only preserving them for manure
in distant European island. A cores
pendent of the Times, writing from Alex
andria, facetiously remarks: Fancy
mutton fattened on ancient Egyptians
The other day, ut Sakhara, saw nine
camels pacing down from the mummy
pits to the bank of the river, laden with
nets, in which were femord, Hbio and
other bony bits of the human form, some
200 weight in each net on each side of
the camel. Among the pits were people
busily engaged in searching out, sitting
and sorting the bones, which almost
crust the ground. On inquiry learned
that the cargoes with which the camels
were laden would be sent down to Alex
andria, and thence be shipped to Eng
ish manure manufacturers. They made
excellent manure, 1 am told, particularly
for Swedish and other turnips. The
trade is brisk, and has been going on for
years, and may go on for many more.
1t is strange fate, to preserve ones

that there may be fine Southdowns and
Cheviots in a distant land. But Egypt
is always n place of wonders.-London

OF late there have been many signs
that women, at least, are becoming alive
to the strong control of clothes upon
their fate. From time to time we hear
of revolutionary associations instituted
to free them from the weight of ruchings,
and burst for them the letters Of Valen-
ciennes and ribbons. Now 1t is band
of sedatc English women who are pledg-
ing themselves to convenient, if dole
full, livery of perpetual black now it is
the patriotic and contrite ladies of Prus-
STA who, under imperial patronage, swear
resistance to their too fondly obeyed ty-
rants and natural foes, the milliners of
Paris; now it is fiery squadron of
American amazons who are enrolling
themselves to do battle with the hostile
world for health. happiness and trousers.
We all find foQd for mirth in such as
sociations. for we are agreed that dress
is trife, and the idea of an association
at all about such an Indifferent matter,
reminds us of the famous tempest in q
tea-cup-and when trousers get into the
discussions we laugh still more, because
it is understood that the mere name of
trousers is capital joke. Yet. after all
there is something to be said for the wo-
men who "agitate about their clothes.
There is no doubt that the dress of West
ern women is cumbrous and, by its
weight and the impeachment it puts in
the way of active exercise, bondage ;
there is no doubt that it is unduly expen-
sive, and there is no doubt that it sins
nearly as often and as much against ar
tistic as against hygienic fitness. Raj
ment better adapted to the need, lighter
to bear, more complete as o protection
against 'vicissitudes of weather, allowing
the whole body more play and, if one
may dare to say it, less display, more
lasting and more graceful, is an improve
ment no sane observer can pronounce
unneeded. .ft. If ..
But q woman of the smallest self res
pect, whatever might be her courage,
would decline to adopt singly, no matter
how rational ana modest, costume
which could be surprise to beholders ;
and no scattered missionaries, though
looking never SO comfortable and never
SO picturesque, could entice the female
multitude to initiate their venture. If
ever material alteration is effected it
must be by the union of many. Here is
O difficulty at the threshold, for such
union could i'll be achieved except by
the efforts of an association, and in such
cause the very name of association is a
hindrance, suggesting suicidal parade
and publicity over reform in which OF
all others an unobtrusive modesty would
be essential.
Surprising that difficulty disposed of
the fatal difficulty is reached: What
should the dress be? There is an old
round which runs. Let us be merry in
our old clothes for we shall never get
new" For want of the perfect dress to
which fairly representative woman's
parliament could De got to agree, the
sufferers under too much skirt will have
good many years yet in which to sing
that chorus.-Lond0n Examiner.

Scribmer's Monthly has the following
item: Mr.. Peter A. DEFY was the engi-
neer who surveyed and located the first
hundred miles Of the Union Pacific rail
road. He estimated its cost at not over
thirty thousand dollars mile. When
this estimate was shown TO the directors
il was returned 10 him with orders to re-
touch il with higher colors, to put in
embankments on paper where none ex-
isted on earth, and to make the old en-
bankments heavier, and to increase the
expense generally and then he was re-
ouested 70 send in his estimate that Il
would cost fifty thousand dollarsa mile.

the road was to be let 70 parties 1t &c,

Before the awards were made to the
different pianos on exhibition at Phila-
delphia, says Roe Stephens Amphion
Musical Magazine, the judges ordered
the competing pianos to be sent to their
private apartments near by. In the
ante-room of this building were gather
ed the leading manufacturers, waiting
anxiously the result of the official ex-
animation, and in readiness to respond
to any call that might be made upon
them from the adjoining room. Here,
then, were copyrighted Steinway,
Knahe, Decker, Chickering, Steck, Mil
Ter, Weber and other gentlemen promi-
nent in the trade. A lady and gentle
man, sight-seers at tho Exposition, had
wandered hitherward, and with that
persevering inquisitivencss that charac-
terizes all such visitors, suddenly en-
tered the apartment in which the anx-
ious manufacturers were waiting. Al
bert Weber, happening to be nearest the
door, and in answer to the lady's ques-
ton concerning the Whereabouts of the
pianos, answered in that bland manner
which he knows 20 well how to assume:
Madame, the pianos are not in this
room, but here are the celebrated max
ers whom you will no doubt be DESTROYS
Of knowing" And without waiting for
. reply, tho polite Weber proceeded 70
introduce the gentlemen to the aston
ished lady, a. follows: "This, madam,
is the great Stsinway; and the gentle
man nearest TO him 10 tho celebrated
Baron Chickering, Of Paris renown; on
the right, there, stands the handsome
Knabe, and this, madam. il the shining
Steck" taking on Stocks bat to show
the bald pate beneath) land here 10 my
friend, the sober Decker" Here the
lady turned to gentleman near BY and
asked: is this gentleman telling the
truth ?" EYES, madam" he replied.
THAT il Albert Weber, and what he
has just aid il true; but it's tie fret tins
he ever told the TRUTH" The joke waa
on Weber; but he tells It now with
much gusto.
