FARM AND HOME.
Bones.

never throw bones away, Dut on the
contrary gather all ! can find scattered
about, and purchase all l can get, to
manufacture into a fertilizer. The
process is very simple and inexpensive.
Take a strong, tight barrel, or some large
box constructed for the purpose, and
place a covering in the bottom Of about
four inches of unleached ashes; upon
this place a layer of bones as close as they
can be packed together, and then cover
with unleached ashes 50 AS to hide the
bones completely, when another layer Of
bones can be placed, and thus alternate
ashes and bones, until the vessel is filled.
If the vessel is very large, water should
be poured in when only four or FIVE lay
ers are n but when in a common bar
rel it is sufficient to pour a couple of
pailfuls on when the barrel is full, or
better still, place the vessel out in the
yard, where it will get sufficient mois-
ture from occasional showers. If kept
under cover, water has to be supplied in
very small quantities, sufficient to keep
the mass moist. Leave the vessel thus
all winter, and in the spring it will be
found that the bones are dissolved. l
empty the mixture out, and add hen ma-
nure for my onion bed, or decomposed
grasses and weeds, or stable manure, for
for other vegetables Goderieh, Ont.
Profits Of Good Feeding.
Last fall | had the offer of a cow on an
old debt, and hesitated some time as to
whether / had better lose the debt or
take the COW, as she was old and very
thin, but finally concluded to try and
make something out of her, though the
chances looked very small, and the boys
made a good deal of sport of her, and
said l would get nothing but her hide.
She was farrow, and was giving not
more than one quart night aud mora
ing. took her to the farm, and told
my man to do the best he could for her.
He commenced feeding her apples, and
though she gained steadily in milk in
was some time before she improved much
in appearance; but after awhile the feed
and care began to tell upon her, and in
three months she vas in good condition,
and gave twelve quarts daily. One
week I brought from there nine pounds
of nice butter, which the woman as
sured me was the product of eight days
milk, and at the same time sold two
quarts daily, and used what they needed
in the family, consisting of herself and
husband. l expected to feed her well
and turn her out to grass to ~fatten, bu,
she proved so good for milk / concluded
to keep her another year. She has KEPT
in good order all summer, and given
about AZ much milk as any Of the cows
but we shall soon dry her oft, as We ex.
pect to have her for a new mich cow this
winter. l also bought last fall a flock Of
store sheep, just as it was time to turf
in for winter, fed them till the 10th o
March on hay and oat screenings, ant
sold them at an advance of $3.50 pc.

rallow or Weed Crops.

A writer in the Country Gentleman has
an article from which we reproduce these
extracts:
The old theory that the soil needs
other rest than that given by our long
winters has been pretty generally aban-
doned. If fields are kept naked for
months in preparation for seeding, it is
done to clean the land from foul weeds
rather than from any idea that the
naked fallow. is itself in any way bene-
fciel. Undoubtedly thege is a constant
decomposition Of the elements of plant
food latent in the 30 !. Flowing and cul-
~tivation hasten this decomposition by
admitting air and moisture. But there
is also q heavy loss of those fertilixing
elements 20 long as the soil is left naked.
Hence, however, good the crop after a
naked fallow, the practice cannot be re-
garded ~ other than q wasteful one. A
we'll cultivated, hoed crop will decom-
pose al much plant food in the soil AZ a
fall0w could. The r will exhaust the
land more than the fallow, but in plant
ing ground there will be something to
show for the loss; while in the faflow
there will be nothing. The cropped
field will also leave its roots in the soil

and producing but a small quantity of

You will see, by my statement, that l
have valued the manure from sheep one
third more in summer than in winter.
From my own experience and observa-
ton, / am fully satisfied that sheep are of
very great value on improved land, and
that they should always be kept on the
blowing land, and ahead of the scythe.

What Five Sheep viii Do.

ii. G.. Abbott, of Maine, tells in the
New England Farmer what five sheep
will do. He says:
Five sheep will enrich one acre of old,
worn out moving land in three years,
80 that it viii produce one and one-half
tons of hay per year, for several years, by
a light sprinkle OF seed each year, own
in the early spring.
Five sheep will produce manure in
winter to the value of ten dollars, by
giving them suitable bedding.
Five sheep will get their living
through the summer on one acre Of
ground; the pasturing of same would be
three dollars.
Five sheep will raise five lambs, worth
fifteen dollars.
Five sheep will shear twenty-five
pounds of wool, worth six dollars.
Now, let us see how the account
stands:

The Democratic Greenback Com
binatiOn in Maine.

Advices from parties welinformed in political
affairs in Maine indicate that the democratic man
ayers there quietly, but shrewdly LAYING their
plans to "rake in" the greenhackers and m axe
Garcelon Governor. The Eastern giecnhack-
democratic Senators. who were formerly demo.
Gratis. are to all appearances for Garcelou. Al
ready there are signs of disntegration in the
greenback ranks, and those signs will become
realities before the two office greedy elements get
through with their first legislature 1t is predict
ed that III greenbsckers formerly democratic will
be coaxed or whipped back into the democratic
ranks. The democratic State committee have
engaged rooms at the Augusta House for the
winter and will set earnestly ahout the work
They will labor TO restrain the hungry in their own
ranks and concede much of the spos as posi-
BILE to the Greenback Office seekers, who are very
numerous and very persistent. Few Republicans
have any idea that any combination could he
made between the hard money democrats and
republicans in the Legislature. simply because
such democrats are very few and are fast swallow
ing their cony lotions TO success 1t is pre-
dicted that there will be but two parties in Maine
next year-Republcsn and Democratic. The
policy for the republicans to pursue is to maintain
and advocate sound financial doctrines with view
TO winning back by arguments the republicans
which were carried away by the Greenback craze.

Summer Days in Maine.

Maine, the first in the list Of Safes is no long
er merely place on the map to us. 1t has be-
come a vivid and pleasing reality We saw it for
the first time this summer, and its dark green pine
and hemlock forests, its clear lakes fringed with
silvery birch trees, its far blue mountains blend
ing with the sky, and its picturesque rocks and
hills a revelation to eyes accustomed to level
western fields and woods. We saw its thriving
manufacturing villages, its college towns and cap
ital city; we breathed the spicy freshness of its
cool pure air; we wandered about its fields and
sailed over its waters and took something of its
loveliness and grandeur into our souls. If it be
true that what we have observed and studied with
loving care enters by some subtle alchemy into
our minds and tinges our thoughts and becomes
part of u.s. then we can claim mental citizenship
in the State of lakes and pines. Its picturesque
beauty comes up afresh as we sit again in our
western home, and instead of the level green prai.
re which stretches TO the horizon dotted here and
there with islands of cotton wood and maple trees
we see the curve of the faint, far blue mountains
the swelling outline Of the distant hills, the dusky
purple-green OF the pine and hemlock woods, the
sparkling surface of the twin lakes, the rocky pas
lures, the smooth hay fields, the stone walls over
grown with golden rod and sweet fern which grew
familiar and dear to us during the past summer.

SUCCESSFUL STOCK OPERATIONS

There is much talk about stock operations and
the rapid fortunes that are amassed by them hut
very few people understand inst how il is done
Messrs. Lawrence * Co., Bankers, 81 Exchange
Place, y. y. City, have published full details of
their new Combination Method Of operating in
stocks. which is wonderfully successful. BY pool
ing the orders of thousands of customers into one
immense sum and operating them a whole, each
patron is placed on an equality with the largest
operator. and vast profits are divided pro rata
among shareholders every 80 DAYS. S2j makes
500, or per cent on the stock in the month {;
800 makes $50, or 2 per cent; $50 makes
81 800, and various profits according TO the move
ments of stocks. Safety and success the dis
tnguishing features of this system. S. Y. Sanger,
of San Francisco. Cal, writes: 81 have never
made so mach money in the same time as have
