The Spanish proverb has it: "Fruit
Is golden in the morning, silver at noon,
but lead at night" Americans do not
seem to have heard of this proverb, nor
to have made one from their own ex-
perience. Mostly they eat fruit at night,
and hence have not the sovereign idea OF
it that they would have if they had
eaten it at more proper times. They ate
it as dessert at dinner. This may be
the most proper time to eat the juicy
ones. The Spanish people learned their
proverb from eating the very juicy
fruits, like oranges. These should be
eaten in the morning, little before
breakfast-not later than noon. Early
in the day they will, if eaten, prove
to be the best possible medicine for the
bilious.

Our Mild Winter.

People forget about the weather, and
then we hear it said that the present
mild winter is Unprecedented. But a
correspondent, writing from New York
city, says:
My occupations, during the winters
of 1S4243, fixed indelibly in my mind
the following facts, viz: The farmers
were plowing every month. The frost
interfered very little with their work.
There was no weather so cold as we have
had this season. The ice-makers were in
trouble. The heaviest snow of the
season fell on the afternoon and evening
of Tuesday after the March meetings,
and scarcely vestige of it remained on
Thursday following. There was no
sleighing for one half day. The In
dian maxim that" the winter will not
rot in the sky" was often quoted by my
neighbor. But it did. Yet the spring
was not earlier than usual. The apple
trees were in full bloom be'ore the 2'ith
of May; but white frosts appeared every
morning till the 23d.

Her only language TO express
Her perfect Joy aud happiness,
But well know the look and tone
Love has an utt'rance Of its own.
My ittle<daughter on my knee,
With wee, sad face looks up TO Ine,
She has no word 70 speak her woe,
But never words could move me 30;
/ read the trouble In her eyes,
And with her grieis symp4thize.
Thus, though her often changing mood
BY me be little understood,
No trivial the thing appears,
That moves her easy smiles OF tears
In all her glsdness am glad,
In all her sadness ! am sad.

MY meanings have not failed TO reach
The all-wise heart Of Him who knows
All human Joys. all human woes,
And evermore 30 tenderly
Ny Father watches over me.

To make Graham mullins, set the iron
gem-pans on the stove to heat; beat one

stir in Graham -four to make rather
stiff batter; mix thoroughly, with the
addition of one: tablespoonful soda dis

The batter, when ready to drop into the

The trunk of tree three hundred
feet high----or of a section of it----from
Mississippi, is to be among the wonders
of the Paris exhibition. Last years
geological survey in Southern Utah re-
veals the fact that the areas occupied by
standing timber are much smaller than
those which are capable of supporting
such growth. The destruction by fire
greatly exceeds that of the woodman's
az, and it seems desirable that some
methods for preventing forest fires should
be devised, and, as a measure of public
economy, adopted in Utah, and perhaps
in other territories. Z 20 ls

France, is now largely planted with

the American vines best suited for
stocks, and specifies the French vines
that can be grated on them to advan-

Questions for Agricultural Chemists.

Questions for Agricultural Chemists,
Says correspondent: From my own
experience and the results of many
other experiments that I have observed,
the past year or two, am of the opinion
adopting the belief that the best form
for using bone material as a fertilizer, is
that of superphosphate--or that bone,
especially when finely ground, is not
speedily available as plant-food. If this
is all mistake, it is one of great impor-
tance. Besides the door which it opens
for deception and fraud. as before stated,
there is an obvious waste of money or
materials in the manufacture and pur-
chase of superphosphate, if the sup
posed necessity for the increased solu-
bility of the phosphoric acid is a mis-
take. A ton of good average SUPER
phosphate, costing say forty dollars, con-
tains only about twelve per cent. of
phosphoric acid; whereas, ton of finely
ground bone contains twice as much, or
twenty-five per cent, while in each
there is about an equal amount of ammo
MIA. The remainder of the super
phosphate is mostly sulphate of lime
and water, and that of the bone mostly
lime, with which the phosphoric acid is
combined. .s.....
Now from the results of large num-
Der of experiments, lam convinced that
by means of the carbonic acid and water
in the soil, combined with the vital
action of the roots, these small
particles of bone are dissolved and
assimilated as speedily as wanted by the
growing plants.
