Ground Bone for Cattle.

Farmers have often noticed cows in
pasture licking bones that are there found
This occurs in consequence of the food of
such cows not containing the full quantity
Of the phosphates that they require. The
bones of animals are largely composed of
lime and phosphOric acid, these being de-
rived from the food they eat. Grass con-
tains certain amount of phosphate which
comes from the soil aud if a pasture be
allowed to remain in grass many years, the
grass will in time become so deficient in
phosphate that cows will feel the need of
it, hence they are seen licking bones, as
they must have supply of phosphate to
prevent, or rather to make good, the con-
slant waste that is going on in the animal
system. Pastures that are plowed once in
six to ten years, well MANFRED, and re-
seeded to grass, will continue to supply in
the grass all the phosphates that cows re-
quire; but when this is not done, it is now
the practice Of our most advanced farmers
to feed their cows little bone meal, a
spoonful in a meal or bran mash, once or
twice week. If this is not done it may
result in what is called the 'bone disease,
which comes from lack of phosphate in
the animal system. This ground bone
meal is kept for sale by dealers in fertiliz.
ers, and sells by the barrel at about 81
per hundred pounds. What is not needed
for cows may be used as a fertilizer fol-
any crop, giving out its virtues to vegeta.
ton for several years before its good quail.

The Berry Crop.

The Denton, Nd, Union says The
cultivation Of small fruit such as strawber.
ries, blackberries and raspberries, on thi:
peninsula, is rapidly growing, and the in.
crease in their production for the last few
years has been enormous. The berry
productions in the southern section of the
peninsula excel those in the northern part
While peach-growing is gradually extend
ing north Of the Nontieoke river, the pro
duetion of berries is going south. Laure
Is the heaviest shipping point for berries
The largest crop was in 1874, and as higf
as $4,000 quarts Of strawberries were
loaded at Laurel in one day. Westovel
is the next shipping point for berries. IL
this neighborhood is a cluster of estates
MISSIONER contains $50 acres and the
neighboring estates are Arlington, csc
acres, and Warrington, 313 acres. Ar
lington has 81 acres devoted to strawbcr.
ries, 80 acres to blackberries, 1000 cherry
trees, 10000 peach trees, and 1000 peal
and apple trees. The other estates are
similarly divided. The shipments of Der.
ries from the Peninsula from 1870 to 1874
inclusive, were 1862 car loads. The
heaviest shipments were in 1874, amount
ing to ia cars carrying 6 ,7l2, 900 quarts,
The crops in 1875 aud 1876 were not
large, but this years crop bids fair 70
compare favorably with that Of 1874. The
shipments have been made as far north as
Buffalo, and east to Boston; to the latter
place as many as 20 car loads per day
being sent. The berry season opens about
the 18th Of May, reaches its height about
the 18th and ends June 18th.

Cross-examined---I weighed them with

Mrs. Edward j. Haughey, the next
witnes corroborated the testimony of her
husband in regard to Mccall disposing of
the counterfeit money.
Sergeant Whalen testified that he went
to the Practical Farmer and searched
around the window from which Mccall
was said to thrown the money, but failed
to find any.
