As with other manures, so with fish
manure, there is choice of soils to which
it may be best applied. The soils from
which highest results might be expected
from applying fish guano, are those def
cient in nitrogen and phosphoric acid, and
in which the stimulating effect of the de-
composition of fish may render other ma
terials available for plant food. Soils that
have been treated repeatedly with fish
guano, phosphates and the various forms
of bone manure, are often overstocked with
these elements, and are deficient in potash;
while il is also true that many soils are
naturally poor in potash. OF comse it will
al once be seen that to apply fish manures
to such lands and neglect to apply the
other necessary elements wanting in the
fish, would be 20 lose not only both money
and time but very likely the crop. But
here the rule that would obtain in the use
of fish manures, Is that which would also
obtain with any other kiud of fertilizer in
the hands of careful farmer, and that is
that the DEFICIENCIES of a given soil are best
ascertained by actual trial, not only with
different manures, but with various crops.
The hest form of fish manures is the dry
ground fish guano, free from oil The
water and oil left in the ''scrap' as the fish
comes from the press, add weight and bulk
without in any degree improving its value.
But experience has proved that the coarse
fish-scrap, as it comes from the oil factO-
ries, cannot be uniformly spread; Is not
easily diffused by the moisture of tine soil;
is acted upon by few roots of giowing
plants, and becomes slowly available to the
roots that do find H. The divided dry fish
Is, however, easily spread, is diffused by
rains, and is thus made accessible to a
large number of roots, and can be alb
sorbed by them when they reach it. Per-
haps one of the best methods of using the
tish-scrap Oy farmers, is to use 1t in a CON-
pest with muck, good manure, ashes, lime
and vegetable refuse, fermenting the whole
mass by the Use of urine. There is higher
and more practical consideration connec-
ted with this subject to which We have not
alluded, but which is of vast Importance
to tine agriculture of New England, and it
is one which it Is the main object of this
article to enforce; and that is the greater
use of fish manures by our own farmers.
AT present its principal use is by the manu-
facturers of phosphates and other forms OF
commercial fertilizers, by whom it is used
for supplying the nitrogen and phosphoric
acid to their manures. 1t Is also sent in
bulk by the cargo 20 enrich the lands of
France and Holland. Is it too much to
expect that at no distant day, some effort
NAV be made successful for furnishing
their fish-scraps in some portable, concen-
trated form to ouI own farmers! To this
end we hope to see some earnest concerted
action put in operation at once.

atmospheric Dust.

Every one IS aware that the atmosphere
holds quantities of dust in suspension. The
dust betrays its presence by settling upon
our clothes, furniture and other objects, but
on account of the minuteness Of its particles,
it cannot be seen as it floats in the air except
under the illumination of strong light, as
in the case of sunbeam shiring into dark
room Besides the grains Of dust which
may be seen in this manner, there are
others that can be perceived only through
the microscope, and others smaller still,
little nOthings like nebulOsities IN the sky,
which seem to become more numerous as
they are sought for with more powerful
instruments. These bits of dust, lifted up
and carried hither and thIther by the atnos-
pheric currents, must not be overlooked,
for they play part of considerable impor-
tance in terrestrial economy, and give rise
to real geological formations. Clouds of
impalpable dust, falling from the air in
considerable abundance, are not uncom-
mon in some countries, and have been no
ticed in ali periods of history. Showers Of
blood have also been mentioned quite often
from the times of Homer down; they are
showers of rainwater made muddy by the
atmosphere dust, and bearing yellow or
reddish deposit. Showers of dust, both
dry and wet, are quite frequent in the
Cape de Nerd Islands, and are called red
fogs by the sailors. They are also common
in Sicily and Italy, and occur 50 often in
some parts of China as hardly to attract
remark. The Chinese account for them
by saying that the dust is lifted up by whirl-
winds in the desert of Cobb, is carried by
the aerial currents into the higher regions
OF the atmosphere, falls at distance, and
is then swept up by rainwater and carried
by the rivers 10 be deposited at the bottom

Novel Use Of the Telephone.

1t is well known that if long dry tube
open at both ends be held over jet Of
burning hydrogen q musical sound is pro-
duced, the pitch and quality of which vary
with the length, thickness and diameter OF
the tube. 1t has been proposed, to adapt
such tube to safety lamp underground
In the mines and to place it near a tele-
phone in communication with another in
the managers Office on the surface. The
alteration of the sound due to greater or
less admixture of gases with the air Of the
mine would warn the manager Of the state

A MAN BOOSTING IMAM ORGAN.

Melvill PIERCE, of WellAeet, Mass,
n lunatic who has unsuccessfully at
tempted to kill himself by shooting,
and who disappeared last September,
has just been discovered in the Metho-
dist church organ. The organist
seeing a mar on top of the organ, and
supposing him to be a tramp, sum-
moned assistance, when Peirce was
routed out. His har had grown so
long that it rested on his shoulders,
and his face was covered with q beard
which gave him with a wild look.
An examination reveald that PIERCE
had been living in the church for
some time, that he had a bed on top
of the organ and that he had also oc-
cupied the attic. A tub Of butter,
that some two weeks ago since was
stolen from a store, was found where
Peirce had concealed it, a portion Of
which he had used. He had also a
lot of canned meats, preserves, and
other eatables. Since he had been
taken from the church he will not
give any information of where he has
been or how he has managed to re-
main so long in the vicinity without
being discovered sooner. He is now
cared for by friends Springfield Re-
publican.

WHAT THE FARMER SHOULD STUDY,

The farmer should study the laws
of concentration. He should learn
to concentrate his crops into the best
paying articles. Does he consider
that butter, cheese, beef, pork and
mutton represent only a certain
amount OF grass, hay and gram that
his farm produces? That instead Of
selling the raw commodities he can,
by puttingtAem into these articles,
get much better returns for his pro-
ducts? His study should be how to
transfer the raw products Of his farm
into something that is concentrated
and that will bring him the most
money. What he raises has to go to
market. By condensing it, little
freight will have to lie paid, and this
much will be saved. A farm is not
onlya farm; it is, or should be, a
factory for changing the rare pro-
ducts into articles Of general con-
sumption that have a commercial
value the world over; that are of the
best quality, that keep well and sell
well, and bring prices that will pay
well for the skill, labor and capital
employed in producing them.-Ex-

The NOBLE RED WOMAN.

A man living in Goodwin canyon
says that while near an Indian camp
the other day he was attracted by
groans and creams in the wickup,
and, going to the found a squaw who
had just given birth to twins. While
he was standing there the squaw,
without paying any attention to him,
deliberately picked up one of the in
fants, and setting her teeth into its
throat, fairly choked it to death be-
fore his eyes and before he could in
terfere. Upon questioning her as to
the reason for killing the infant, she
replied: 1.-TWO papoose no good; one
heap plenty" and that was all he
could learn from her about the mat
ter. This practice is.a common thing
among the Shoahones, and but
one of a pair twins, always the male,
is allowed to live, The method used
by the squaws IN carrying their babies
in a basket on their backs makes it
announcement for them to attend to
two, and so a choice is made, and one
of the pair is disposed of.-Eureka

DISCOVERY ABOUT CORN.

An exchange tells of a man who
plants, two or three weeks after the
crop is planted, a new hill of corn ev-
cry fifteenth row, each way. And
this is the reason. If the weather be-
comes dry after the filing time, the
silk and tassels both, become dry and
dead. In this condition, il it should
become %seasonable, the silk r~evives
and renews its growth, but the tas-
sells do not recover. Then for want
Of pollen, the new silk is unable IL
till the office for which it was design
ed. the pollen from the r~eplanted
corn is then ready to supply silk, and
the filling is completed, He says
nearly all the abortive ears, so com.
mon IN all corn crops, are caused by
want of pollen, and he has known
ears to double their size in this fill.
