Ashes as a Fertilizer.


A Garrattsville, n, r., correspondent Of
the Country Gsaaemdn writes on this BY
no means new subject :-Afer using
ashes on my farm for many years, both
leached and unleached, consider them a
valuable fertilizer for grass or grain. l
have used large quantities Of leaehed ASH
es, generally applying them to land to be
seeded down. | first prepare the ground
for sowing, then spread 100 or 100 bush
els Of leaehea ashes to the acre, then sow
wheat, barley or oats, as the case may be,
and seed down, narrowing thoroughly, and
when the crop natures | am always pleas
ed with the result ! use fifty bushels Of
unleaehed ashes to the acre Ashes, wheth-
er leached or unleached, make very fine
top dressing for meadows and pastures, and
in every case whore have used them the
result Scr. graia aud grass has been satislac-
tory, there being large increase in both
quantity and quality OF The grainor grass.
My mode Of using ashes for corn is TO
apply them TO the top of the hill, before
the corn comes up As soon os the corn
is planted, put about gill Of unleaehed
ashes on the top Of each hill, always pre-
fcrring to get my corn ashcd before a rain,
SO that tho first shower will carry the pot
ash from the ashes down into the bill, for
the corn roots to feed upon. / apply in
the same way FOR potatoes. II takes, as |
apply them, from fifteen TO twenty bush
els to the acre, and think the ashes thus
are worth halt dollar per bnshel am
satisfied that ashes, either leaehed or I'M
leaehod, are the best fertilizer the farmer
can use. For immediate effects | know
nothing that is equal to them, and they
arc also lasting. They do not leach
through the soil like manure, but after an
application is made to grass or grain, the
following crops for many years will show
the result.
should judge that the relative value
of leaehed ashes would be oue-half that of
unleached, While the teaching Of ashes
extracts most Of the potash from the ashes,
il leaves them rich with nitro, which as
fertilizer is very valuable. Ii is claimed
that to mix ashes and plaster together,
makes the mixture worthless, the one neu-
tralizing the fertiliziug qualities of the
other. Ii any Que doubts it he can try it,
and satisfy himself

VOUDOUISM.

DR.. PEBBLES says that, while on his
travels recently, he saw salt strewn on
door-steps in New Orleans. He asked
what it meant, and the reply was: 1t
is consecrated salt, to ward off the
demoniac charms of the Vcudous.
There are 2O,OC0 of them in New Or
leans, and they work magic, put spells
on people, produce bad luck, and
even DEATH He made some investi-
cation of the subject, and among the
professed Voudou priests whom he
found was an old, oddly -tattaoed ne
gro called DIR. John. sThis man. he
says, sleft Africa in 1889. He confess
ed to having had twenty wives. Pre-
vious to the Civil War he was rich,
owning at one time fifty slaves. Many
prominent men of the South had faith
in his magical powers. Such men as
Slidell and Gen. Beauregard used to
consult him. When ignorant people
came he used cards and crystals; but
with the higher classes he simply EN-
ployed his second sight gift, making
at times, it is said, startling revela-
tions.' DR.. PEBBLES describes his visit
to Voudou camp, where negroes
danced and chanted around Gagged
serpent, and boiled the claws of birds,
the scales of fish, the fangs of snakes
and other things, for charms. The
Doctor expresses the belief that Vou-
douism is a low form of spiritual man

A writer in the Scientific American
says: We clean our premises of these
detestable vermin by making white
wash yellow with copperas, and COW
ering the stone and rafters in the cell
lar with it. In every crevice in which
rat may tread we put the crystals of
the copperas and scatter the same in
the corners of the floor. The result
was a perfect stampede of rats and
mice. Since that time not football of
either rats or mice has been heard
about the house. Every spring a coat
of the wash is given the cellar, as a
purifier, as a rat exterminator, and no
typhoid, dysentery or fever attacks
the family. Many persons deliberate
ly attract all the rats in the neighbor-
hood by leaving fruits and vegetables
uncovered in the cellar, and some
times even the soap is left open for
their regalement. Cover up every
thing eatable in the cellar and pantry,
and you will soon have them out.
These precautions. joined to the SER
vices of good cat, will prove as good
q rat exterminator as the chemist can
provide. We never allow rats to be
poisoned in our dwelling; they are so
liable to die between the walls and
produce much annoyance.

From the Phoenix (Arizona) Herald.
Some excitement is being created
among the Mexican population of
Phoenix by the story of Mexican who
arrived last evening from the Reno
Mountains. He came into town under
cover of darkness, as he was nearly
naked. His hands and feet were torn
and bloody ,and his face was gashed in
fearful manner. His story was told
with the air of man who had been
terribly frightened and had not recov-
cred. With a chaperone he started out
prospecting about a month ago going
up Salt River. They left the, river

tain. Their prospecting began at this
point. While climbing up the noun
tain, in little gully, through black
sand, and down which large stream
of water had evidently passed years
ago, they were astOnished to find that
in this sand were large quantities OF
fine gold. In some places the sand
was only about half an inch deep over
the granite. The gold, in pieces the
size of a bean and smaller, was found
in the little assures in the face of the
bedrock. Very little washing was
necessary, and they found little
spring of water which furnished them
what they needed. They obtained,
they think, about 5000 worth In half a
days work. About 2 o'clock in the af-
ternoon they were surprised to see an
Indian woman come to the top of the
gulch above the spring and start to
come down. Upon seeing them she
ran back over the hill. In less than
ten minutes they were surrounded by
fifty or sixty savages. The Indian
were very small and seemed to be of a
different nature than they had ever
seen in Arizona. The Mexicans were
not armed except with knives, and the

A SUSPENSION BRIDGE BUILT
BY A SPIDER.

A new feature in the way of a sus-
pension bridge was seen across the
Housatonic River, short distance
north of Falls bridge. 1t was a single
thread of spiders web suspended
from tree on one side to some object
upon the other, between three and four
hundred feet in length. How did the
creature manage to get across? 1t is
conjectured that the engineering spider
must have calculated the distance,s ,spun
a thread of the required length, and
then at the right moment have thrown
it out, when it was carried on the wing
of some favoring breeze to the oppo-
site side. where it became attached.
What was the spiders object, unless
to seek some retired spot to prey, or
else to seek new adventures? 1t is not
known whether the spider perished in
the attempt at crossing, or whether it
gained the further shore in safety
