Wood Ashes.

The value of ashes us a fertilizer de-
ponds principally upon the potash and
phosphoric acid they contain. The per-
oentage Of these varies largely, in ashes
f.om different woods varying from | 0 per
cent. to "a per cent. for the former. and
/ per cent. to IL per cent for the latter.
This would give not far from four to five
pounds Of potash to a bnshel Of ordinary
mixed unleachel ashes. which, reckoned
al cents per pound the present mar
kct value Of potash in the commercial
fertilizers would give the value of a
hnshel as from Is to 22I cents With
dae allowance for the phosphoric acid
sud lime--the latter making up tho larg-
rst part of the ashes--it may be seen
hat bushel Of unleached ashes is worth
from 20 to 30 cents at the present time.
Ashes, to secure the best results should
be thoroughly mingled with the soil In

Shoeing the Draft Horse

The great pressure to which tho feet
and limbs of the draft horse are subject
renders it especially important that these
he carefully looked to. The hoof of the
draft horse is not of as close and horny
a texture as that of the thorough bred,
hence, if worked on hard roads or pixies,
his feet will require the most careful
shoeing possible. The shoes should be
made to fit the outer rim o: horny she'll
very carefully, as it is only this shell that
carries the weight and must stand the
hard knocks to which his feet are sub
jected. If the outer rim of the shoe is
allowed to bear inside of this horny or
outer rim of the hoof the foot becomes
feverish, and corns will be likely to re-
suit. Rather than the foot be so treated
it is better it should 60 without shoeing
at all, for then the weight will be sure
10 press upon the horny part, and all
such complaints as corns, quarter-cracks,
contraction, bruised heels, etc, be less
likely to occur. Ninety per cent Of all
the lamenoss in horses is positively pro-
duced by improper shoeing. The appli-
cation of the hot shoe in fitting it to the
foot should not be permitted under any
circumstances, nor any rasping of the
outer crust or face of the hoof allowed
The heavy horse for farm work alone is
pretty safe from harm to the foot while
used upon the soft ground about the farm,
but when put upon the road--as farm
horses often are-the above conditions
should not be lost sight of The part of
the foot Of most vital Importance, how.
ever, is the frog, and which-placed
there, as it is, by nature, for the pur-
pose of protecting the animal against in
jury when planting his foot on any hard
substance--should never be interfered
with except merely to trim off the ragged
edges. We have known farmers never
to shoe their horses at all, and yet their
horses are seldom, if ever troubled with
lameness What better evidence is there
necessary, then, to prove that in ninety
cases out of hundred the cause of lame
ness can be traced to improper shooting.

Saving by Handsful.

full; the saving or wasting of so much
would neither make nor break man. -
But with twenty head of cattle to feed
twice or thrice day the saving Of hand
full apiece, every time, would amount to
something before the pastures are green
again upon our frost-bitten hills. DO
you ever think of it? We are not hint

Grating trouble, the difficulty herein re-
ferred to being the telegraphic arrange
ments at Music Hall, where the Conven-
tion is to be held. 1t is asserted that
newspaper correspondents present will
require the use of sixty wires. The tel
egraphic companies state they can fur
nish ample facilities and to that end de-
sire to at once set to work erecting po' es
to conduct the necessary wires to the
hall; but the city authorities, upon some
pretext-what, no fellow can find out
refuse to let them use the streets for that
purpose, and hence there is an awkward
and altogether perplexing blockade.

Wonderful Endurance of De Cosmos.

The longest speech on record is be-
lieved to have been made by member
of the Legislature of British Columbia,
named De Cosmos. 1t was in the in

frauded out of their lands. DE Cosmos
in the hopeless minority. The job had
been held back till the eve of the close
of the session. Unless legislation was
taken before noon of a certain day the
act of confiscation would fall.
The day before the expiration of the
limitation De Cosmos got the floor
about ten o'clock a. m., and began a
speech against the bill. It's friends
cared little, for they supposed that by
one or two p. m. he would be through,
and the bill could be put on its passage.
One O'Clock came and went, and De
Cosmos was still speaking-hadn't more
than entered upon his subject. Two
o'clock-he was saying, "in the second
place." Three o'clock-he produced a
fearful bundle of evidence and insisted
in reading il. The majority began to
have suspicion of the tluth-he was
going to speak till next noon and kill

because each one afforded him a
chance to digress and gain time. They
tried to shout him down, but that gave
him breathing space, and finally settled
down to watch the combat between the
strength of will and weakness of body.
They gave him no mercy. No adjourn
ment for dinner, no chance to do more
than wet his lips with water; no wan
dering from the subject: no sitting
down. Twilight.darkened, the gas was
lit; members slipped out to supper in
relays and returned to sleep in squads,
but De Cosmos went on. The speaker
to whom he was addressing himself was
alternately doing, snoring, and trying
to look awake.
Day dawned and a majority of the
members slipped out to breakfast, and
the speaker still held on. 1t can't be
said It was very logical, eloquent OF
sustained speech. There were digres-
sions in it; repetitions also. But the
speaker kept on, and at last noon came
to baffled majority, livid with rage
and impotence, and single man who
was triumphant, though his voice hai
sunk to whisper, his eyes were sunker
and bleared and blood shot, and his leg
tottered under him, and his baked lip

and saved the settlers their lands.
