How Matches are Made.

A match is a small thing. We seldom
pause TO think, after it has performed tic

away, that it has history of its own. and
that, like some more pretentious things. its
Journey from the forest to the match 81 70
| Is full OF changes. The match of today

OF forest In the Hudson Bay Territory. n
Is noated down the water.courses to the
lakes, through which it is towed in great
lograits. These RATS are divided soma
parts are pulled through the canals, and
some oy other means are taken to market.

TWO inches thick. These blocks are passed

INTO "sphnts," round or square, of inst tho
thickness of a match, but twice ito Ion,th

making about 100000 splints n dav

the old way, by hand. The splnts are

coarse stuff about an inch and a half wide.
and an eighth of an inch thick, is rolled un,
the splints being laid across the ribbon
between each two courses, leaving about
quarter of an inch between ADJOINING

bundles go to the Clipping" room. After
the ends of the splnts have been bounded |

The RICHNESS OF MILK.-The agricultural
editor of the n. Y. TiTbunc-who is making
his department as readable and valuable as
1t was in the best days of that great journal
-combats the notion advanced in foreign
paper, that milk is richest at the evenings
milking. He says "The truth is, the
richness of milk does not depend at all
upon the time of day; all other circum.
stances being the same, it is controlled by
the length of the time between milkings-
the longer the time the poorer the milk.
When the days are short the nights milk
is richest, if the milking is done at the
extremes of the day. When the nights are
short milk is richest in the morning, and
when the intervals between milkings are
alike, unless some conditions are varied, as
exercise, quiet, heat, or cold, etc, which
may interfere and cause variations. This
has been demonstrated on a large scale
with whole dairies and at factories where
several hundred cows have furnished milk.
Observations upon such scale, many times
repeated, have weight which carries con-
viction, as they cannot be warped by the
petty conditions to which single animals
are liable"
Smyrna times., 1878-03-27

CORN FOR HORsEs.-We do not share the
feelings of many of our friends touching
the relative merits of corn and oats as feed
Tor horses. Old John Harper attrihutad
the splendid success of Lonefellow and his
companions in fame, in a great degree to
the corn diet on which he fed them. The
| old kentuckian said: "To orr notion
nothing IS so Strengthening to the race
| morse as good, old yellow Ohio corn. We
give ours just about twenty-eight good.
round ears, every day, when in training.
ana when they don't eat it quite all up, we
give them little more exercise to STRENGTH
en- their appetiteS and that makes them
run from end to end" Certain it is that
the owner and trainer of such horses as
Endorser, Lyttleton, Longfelow and scores
OF other celebrated ones, should know what
he Is talking about. As to ourselves we are
inclined to think that good. bright corn
might be fed during our cold. New England
winter to much greater extent than it is.
with profit. We doubt if oats make sufi.
GENTLY generous diet, considering the sud.
den and violent changes of our atmosphere.
and the severe work to which our driving
horses are frequently put.
1t Is fact that nearly all horses prefer
corn to any other form of dry food. Orr
idea IS that ears of corn ground cob and all.
and fed with cracked rye or mashed oats in
ratio of two to one, is. on the whole. the
best diet that can be fed to stock during
the winter and spring months. 1t does put
the shine into their coats, and fills them
with the high spirit that makes the earth
seem mot good enough for them to walk
onr'

How TO Use Bones AS A FERTILIzER.-The
easiest manner of preparing bones for use
is to burn them with wood. The phosphate
of lime is all in the ashes, but the nitrogen
is last, as the animal matter is burned away.
But an equivalent of ammonia could be
purchased in the shape of dried blood,
meat, or fish guano, for less money than it
would cost to reduce the bones to a fine
powder in their raw condition. One hun.
dred pounds of dried bones contains forty.
five pounds of gelatin, in which there are
about five pounds of ammonia. This could
be replaced by twenty pounds of sulphate
of ammonia, at a cost of five and one. half
cents per pound, or one dollar and ten
cents. As the sulphate is at once available,
which the ammonia of bones is only slowly
produced, half or fourth of the former
would supply an equivalent of the bones

A JUST ESTIMATE OF CoNGREss-Thers is
no denying the fact that the present session
OF Congress has had a very disturbing effect
on on the business interests of the country.
The disposition to tinker the tariff, the
currency and the revenues, the heated and
partisan manner in which all these great
interest have been discussed, and the strik.
ing. lack Of ability or desire to treat
national questions in a national spirit, have
created and kept alive feverish state of
feeling not at all conducive to general
prosperity or progress. There is probably
not an intelligent man in the United States
to-day, outside of Washington, who does
not believe that the country would have

SEG0VIA AND MADRID.

1t sings to me in sunshine,

But my soul is in Madrid"

For dream and day are one,
Alight with vanished faces.
And days forever done.
They smile and shine around me.
As long ago they did,
For my body is in Segovia.
But my soul is in Madrid.
Through inland hills and forests
hear the ocean breeze.
The creak of straining cordage,
The rush of mighty seas,
The lift Of angry pillows
Through which a swift keel slld.
For my body is in Segovia.
But my soul is in Madrid.
oh, fair-haired little darlings.
Who bore my heart away,

Between us roar to-day;
Yet ain l close beside you.
Though time and space forbid:
Ny body is in Segovia.
But my soul is in Madrid.
fl were once in Heaven,
There would be no more sea;
Ny heart would cease to wander.
Ny sorrows cease to be:
Ny sad eyes sleep forever
In dust and daisies hid.
And my body leave Segovia-
Would my soul forget Madrid?
