and nicely finished kitchen, we will now di-
rect our attention to the story above it. This
story is divided into two chambers, for the
use OF servants, and they are conveniently
reached by back staircase These cham
bers also communicate by door ways with
the other upstairs rooms. There is also To-
Gated over the kitchen, on the side connected
with the chambers in the main building,
large and flrst-class bathroom, and which is
furnished and finished in the highest style of
bathroom art, with all the modern improve
ments. MIR. King appears to have given
special and most careful attention in having
this apartment rendered as complete as pos
sible, without regard to cost The bath-tub
IS OF copper, and the stop-cocks heavily plat
ed with silver The hot water is supplied
from the tank, or boiler, in the kitchen, and
the cold water from the hydrant The casing
OF the tub is OF walnut and maple, and is a
beautiful piece of workmanship. The entire
apartment is wainscoted with alternate pan
els of walnut and ash. The room is supplied
with very large window, which is furnished
with inside venitian shutters, also ofash, and
on pivots. The bathroom is easily and con
veniently approached from the bed chambers,
and is probably as handsome n room for the
purpose and as elegantly finished as any to
be found in the large, tirstclass houses and
nrsf-class hotels in any of the cities. The
bathroom has become one of the necessities
OF modern civilization, but owing to the too
common difficulty in obtaining the water
supply, it is still too much neglected in co;tn-
Try homes, even in those of the better class.

Salt as n Fertilizer.

81 want to know how to use salt as Il feri-
lizer, in what quantities, and how applied
Is salt that has been used in preserving meat
of any use as II fertilizer? And what kind
of land is salt best adapted top
Your question suggests another, .. e., "To
what extent is common salt fertilizer, or food
of plants?" That the soil is often improved
by free application of salt is scarcely to be
denied, but this is far from proving that the
salt is in itself fertilizer More than CEN
tury ago Q14s) Brownrigg an English writer
on the art of making salt declared that the
soil of the whole kingdom might he made rich
by application of salt, but in practice it was
found that in many instances the application
of this substance had no apparent effect -
Lime may he placed in the same list with salt
an Indifferent fertilizer of itself, but, acting
upon matter in the soil, il increases fertility
Salt destroys yermin in the soil, and their
bodies are dissolved and become food for
plants. 1t also furnishes q small quantity of
soda; it converts many nOyious and refractu-
ry bodies in the soil into principles of nutri-
ton, and thereby stimulates and accelerates
the secrctions growing plants. Lands near
the sea coast are less likely 10 be benefited by
salt than those inland; and position and the
condition of the soil should always be taken
into consideration in using salt as n fertilizer
The usual method of application is 10 SOW
broadcast, if over grain in the fall or early
spring, al the rate of six 10 eight bushels To
the acre, hut if before the crop is put in, then
double this quantity may hc applied with
safety and often with benefit Old sail from
pork and beef barrels, or that used in sailing
fresh hides, is as good and sometimes much
better than the new and clean We would
advise all to Try salt on n small scale at first
as no one can tell in advance of its use inst

Snow storms have more than once PLAYED
IN important part in history. Al Towton
the decisive battle of the war of the Roses, the
Lancastrian soldiers having the snow driven
in their faces by a strong wind, fell upon each
other by mistake and were easily routed In
one of the numerous wars between Denmark
and Sweden, the Danes escaladed Swedish
fortress at night by means of the snow that

umn of attack at Eyiau, in 1907, which should
have fallen upon the Russian flank was so
blinded by the flying snow as to come out
right in front of the great central battery, and
was almost eXterminated The same cause
accustomed the French defeat at Pultusk a
month earlier while the destruction of the
British army by the Afghans in 1852, was ma
terially aided by snowfall which blockaded
the passes several fathoms deep, rendering
any help from India impossible.

And the neighbors have had their word

And his remedies-light and water and air,
