was lately fought in Texas by Alexan-

shot and Shost Wa not. In thi. ease
il was better to he Shott than Nott.
There was a rumor that Mott was not

Mott, which proves that the shot Shot
shot at Mott was not Shott, or that
Mott was shot Notwithstanding. CIR

or as aecidenlS-~fth firearms are fire.
quent, il rsay he possible that the shot
Shott shot shot Shott himself when
the whole affair would resolve itself into
its original elements and Shott would
be shot and Mott would be not. We
think, however, that the shot Shott
shot shot not Shott, hat Mott ; anyway

Bone meal is an excellent fertilizer for
pastures. In England it is largely used,
particularly where they raise horses
either for the race course or for the hunt
ing field. The bone meal is sown on the
grass while either wet with dew or rain.
The young horses, no doubt, eat some of
it with the grass, while the balance works
to the roots of the plants, and to certain
extent increases the percentage of phos-
phate Of lime in the grass, thus giving
more bone material for the horse.
