A Good LIQUID Manure.

A Baltimore florist sends the Ros-
ton Journal Of Chemistry the fol-
lowing formula for liquid manure
for flowers. The materials may be
had at any blacksmith shop: Put
one bushel of the clippings OF horses
hoofs into barrel, and fill it up with
water. Let it stand for a week when
it is ready for use. Apply it with a
watering pot. All bedding plants
can be watered with this liquid every
other day if they are not pot-bound.
Repotted plants should be watered
once week until they have plenty
OF working roots to take up the ma
nure. 1t will also be found excellent
for hard wooded plants if used once
or twice week. Two or three
weeks after the plants have been wa
tered with the manure the foliage
generally changes from green to a
golden yellow, moving from the stem
down to the point Of the leaf, which,
however, lasts only for few weeks,
when it changes to dark glossy
green. Plants under this watering
grow very strong; the flowers are
very large and bright in color.
Plants thus treated can be kept in
very small pots for a long time with
out being lransplanted This is es-
pecially advantageous to the market
gardener, who can sell his plants in
three or four inch pots, while he
would have to shift them into five
and six inch if he used rich soil alone.
Flowers watered with this liquid ma
nure will bring % per cent. more
than otherwise; besides being in
small pots, they are lighter, can be
packed closer and are easier to be
handled. The fertilizer is not a slim
ulant, but plant food, and plants
that are watered with it, if planted
out, will continue growing and keep
in good growth, which cannot be
said OF guano. 1t IS as powerful as
guano, as quick in action, and more
lasting.
1t will not do the slightest harm tC
the foliage most other liquid ma
nures spoil the foliage when they
come III contact with it. 1t forms
no crust on the pots or soil. 1t il
cheaper than any other good tertil
izer which is used in liquid form
The chips need be renewed or re
placed only twice year, while the
water can be withdrawn every day
When liquid guano is used too strong
it will cause the plants to drop al
their leaves. This liquid will not

How THE PUBLIC LANDS HAVE
BEEN DISPOSED oF.-WAsHINGToN,
October 10th.-The forthcoming an
nual report of the Commissioner of
the General Land Office will contain
an interesting comparative statement
of the disposal of public lands to act
ual settlers during each Of the last
five fiscal years. The totals range
from about 100000 to 100000
acres each for the fiscal year 1875,
1876 and 1877, to 7,166,974 acres tor
the year ending'June 80, 1878, and
$3.50, 119 acres during twelve months
which ended with last June. The
totals of entries under homestead aid
timber culture laws contrast as fol-
lows: For the fiscal year OF 1877,
2,698,771 acres; for 1873, 6,2SS,779
acres for 1879, 8,O26,6s5 acres. The
cash sales show a decrease of $4,000
acres since last year, when they ag'
gregated about $4,000 acres, but
the net increase in the amount OF
land taken by actual settlers the last
fiscal year is found to have been
nearly 100000 acres.

may be left in place exposed to the
sun till the weather gets threatening,
when they should be stored in light
cellar, at a temperature of two de-
grees to six degrees c., for the win
ter. This plan M. Bilek considers
far superior to that of growing plants
in pots made OF cows dung, which
were so much Wanted some years
ago. These latter often crumble to
pieces, or dry up and admit no mois-
ture, besides which they often get
covered with fungi in winter, which
attack and destroy the plants in
them.

kinds of apples on one tree, but are
they as good as can he grown on sew
eral trees ? / think experience and
observation will answer this in the
negative, and teach us that the quail
ity OF grated fruit depends some
what on the character of the stock.
1t will be generally conceded that
the health and vigor of the stock,
tend to the health and vigor of the
graft. But there are exceptions to
this. Experience shows that there
must be certain relation or affinity
between the stock and the graft in
order to have the graft succeed. 1t
has been stated that the Iona grape,
grated upon a healthy Concord, will
soon sicken and die, the stock often
dying with it. The pear is some
times grated on. the apple and will
bear fruit for year or two, but it
soon perishes. Experienced men say
it is difficult to graft certain pears on
the Dix stock. Some kinds Of pears
must be double worked in order to
have them succeed in pertecting their
fruit. What do such cases teach but
the influence Of the stock on the graft?
But on this point we deem ourselves
fortunate that we can quote the ALL
thority of one OF the oldest and most
distinguished American horticultur.
lists, Hon. Marshall p Wilder. He
says: 1.-THE affinity of the stock to
the graft is OF immense Importance
to the happy union and success OF
both. Some unite as if ordained by
heaven to be joined, while others re-
sist all the appliances OF art. We
have seen trees made sick by the in
sertion of an uncongenial scion, and
finally destroyed. 1t is from the
analogy OF the stock and graft that
healthy vigor results, and unless this
analogy is sufficiently close, it is i'm
possible to obtain fruits in perfec-
ton" & Here, certainly, is recog.
nized the influence of the stock upon
the graft in producing perfect fruit
But in order TO make any advance in
the argument, We neea to specify
some particular in which the graft is
affected by the stock-some quality
which we all will recognize. There
is no distinction iE apples more gen
orally and easily understood thar
that of sweet and sour. Ii pleas
ant apple, grated on tree bearing
sour fruit, becomes more acid, VIZ
may say the sour stock affects IL. l
when grated on sweet apple tree i
becomes less acid. We say again thu
sweet stock affects it. The Porte
we'll illustrates this.

MuScOvy Ducks.
From an Exchange.

From an Exchange,
The Museovy duck is a native of
South America, where it exists in the
wild state, and is also domesticated.
There are two varieties-tbe white
and the colored. The plumage of
the former is pure white, the latter a
glossy blue black, slightly mixed with
white feathers. They are fair layers,
and the young ducks are excellent
table birds Mature brakes usually
weigh nine or ten pounds and the
duck not more than five or six. The
brakes do not possess the most anna
BILE dispositions in the world; they
fight every other breed OF poultry
that comes within their reach, in
fact, they are a perfect nuisance
where chickens and turkeys are Kept.
Muscovys are flyers and cannot be
fenced in or out like Pekins, Rouens
and Alsesburys, and, unlike other
breeds OF ducks, will go to roost
chicken fashion.

The Isabella Regia.

From the Pac1hc Kural Press.
Mr.. J. p. Pierce tavors us with a
few clusters of new crane orlglnat'
ing on his grounds at Santa Clara.
AS described by our correspondent
G. w. NJ, in his account OF his visit
to Mr.. P..erce's place last summer,
one of the features OF the grounds Is
the amount OF Isabella grapes grown
on srbor trellises. The lower parts
of the trellises are filed with Mission
grapes trained horizontally. The Is
abella vines are kept clear OF branch
ing until they reach the upper parts
of the arbor, where they are permit
ted to spread out and bear trult;
Some time ago Mrs. Pierce noticed
that the children were bringing IN a
peculiar grape which attracted their
attention by its large berries and
heavy clusters. Upon their pointing
out the cane from which these were
obtained, it was found that one OF
the branches of an Isabella vine was
bearing this new style OF fruit while
other canes bore the usual lsaDellas.
The cane was marked, and buds
taken therefrom were afterwards in
serted in other stock where they
grew freely and fruited heavily, pro-
ducing the same grape which had at
tracted attention at first. 1t was the
fruit OF one OF these grated vines
that Mr.. Pierce brought for our In
spection. The new grape, which
must, we believe, be set down as
sport from the lsabellas, retains the
characteristic aroma, flavor and bloom
of its parent, but instead OF the me-
