PURE BONE GOODS.

WE desire to call the particular attention OF farm
ers to our Bone Goods all of which are
strictly pure, and for which,, after thorough ex-
animation by the committee at the New England
and Maine State Fair, held at Portland, Sep
TENDER Sd to 18th, 1877 were awarded the highest
premium over all old competitors for that class of
goods.
1st-our ground bone, for fertilizer, being
pure, contains large percentage of phosphoric
ACID, nitrogen, ammonia and maguesia
which makes it the safest fertilizer for all kinds of
crops 1t is also very nice when composed with wood
ashes in equal parts.
2nd-our bone meal has no equal in America
Ii is ground from pure hard bones, and is very
white and sweet it has no offensive Odor or taste
IN fact It is as sweet as corn meal and cattle eat
it freely and with good results.
we likewise make an extra article of poultry
bone OF uniform size, no long sivers to choke the
mems. 1t helps to form the shell of the eggs and
rs what the poultry need at all times supply of
IL should be kept in box constantly before Them
we would further say that it object to secure
good reputation for our bone goods and we be-
heve the only way is to make them strictly pure
ana those who favor us with their patronage NAV
rely upon it, that all the goods purchased of us will
be strictly pure.
We also have constantly on hand, ground beef
scraps which poultry should always have in box
the same as poultry bone. 1t is also excellent to
feed to swine.

The Japanese cultivate cherry, plum and
peach trees, chiefly for their blossoms, and
force them to make them double. The flow
ers of the plum are often as large as a cab
bage rose. They also have cherry trees
dwarfed and twisted, as the flowers ola doub-
lie pink. There is an avenue out of Toxic
lined with these poisoning cherry trees, and
in the season of bloom everyone goes out
there to see them and take refreshments in
the tea-houses: and it is curious and fasci-
mating sight, as Japs and foreigners are there
In crowds. The hydrangea grows wild in the
mountains in Japan, and the commonest va
riety is beautiful blue They have in June
a large yellow flower called s'evening glories,"
that literally burst into bloom, as flower after
bush is a mass of yellow, and the air per-
fumed with them. The variegated naples
come cut in the spring almost as gorgeous as
ours in October.

Any person of common intelligence can
learn in an hour how to trim and nourish
vines. Three vines of as many different
varieties, planted in some sunny nook or by
by the side of some building so as to obtain
many bushel of delicious grapes every year.
Select a Concord and two or three other va
rieties. Make the ground mellow and rich
by the use of spade, and by employing old
manure, Underground bones and ashes, and
set out the plants. In three years the rich
clusters will appear, and in four years the
product will be abundant. 1t is we'll to have
vines planted SO that theswaste liquids from
the dwellings can be used in fertilization. If
there is any food the vine especially loves, it
is the soapy liquids which accumulate on
washing days in families. Vines drenched
every week with these liquids will flourish
astonishingly, and extend themselves so as
cover large buildings, every branch bearing.

Egg Production.

A writer in a late agricultural journal has
found out the secret of making hens lay in
winter. He bought lot of corn that had
been damaged by fire and fed it to his hens.
He found that they laid wonderfully well all
winter. Upon this hint he has since acted
of eggs in winter, keeping his fowl in good
warm quarters and feeding them largely with
roasted or parched grain, principally corn.
This is an easy and simple recipe which
every fowl-keeper can follow. When eggs
have risen from twenty to forty cents per
dozen, it seems worth while to make consid-
cradle effort to have a few dozen eggs to put
on the market. 1t costs no more to keep
fowls when their eggs sell for forty cents a
dozen than when they sold for eighteen, and
we can all see that at this point the profit
comes in. Whatever is done at all is worth
doing well, whether it be in producing thor
oughbred stock, Clauson wheat, fruit or eggs.
