The more this substance is used for fertiliz.
ing purposes, the greater its value is appre-
ciated. II is well known that in England il
is valued higher than any other substance.
There the farmers not only use up all the
bones OF their own country, but the mporta-
ton of bones from other countries has assum-
ed gigantic proportions. All the old battle
fields have been ransacked, and, unless report
does them m injustice, many an old fellow
whose bones were supposed to rest in peace
in some grassy, daisy lowered churchyard
would have to hunt some modern turnip-feld
to find all that remains Of them. Foreign
countries have not only to pay tribute TO Eng
land of their wealth during life, but even
their bones have to follow, in order to enrich
British soil, as while living they worked to
I'LL British pockets. Australia sends an enor-
nous quantity of bones to England. II has
become such heavy trade that the article it.
self was found too light for profit. Science
has been called in to enable the ship-owner to
take the Same weight in less bulk. The bones
are first ground, then the dust mixed with
some substance which will give it Just enough
adhesiyeness to make the particles stick to-
gether. Then the material is put under
heavy pressure in mounds about six inches
square, so that it can be packed in the hold
without any loss Of space. One ton of this
cake measures only 2G cubic feet OF course
these bones are all Of wild or domestic ami

Milk is perfect hot weather food. II is,
in fact, perfect human food for any sea-
son, for any climate where il can be used be-
fore II changes, and for persons Of all ages
young or old. All authorities on the subject
of foods place it at the head of animal sub
stance for this purpose, and DIR. Letheby says
it is 1.-THE type or standard of n perfect food"
and DIR. Edward Smith, one of the latest au-
thorities on this subject writes: milk Is
one of the most important foods which ma
ture has supplied for the use of man, since it
contains all the elements of nutrition within
itself, and in the most digestible form" From
many sources we might multiply testimony
of this nature, but II would not be newt
would not be more convincing than those
given.
We plead for greater use of mik-pure
milk-when it can be had as n food for
young and old, in town and country, during
the approaching hot season. On farms and
in most country villages pure milk can be OBJ
tanned. In cities the matter may be question
able but whenever IL can be had, let il be
eaten and drunk at meals morning, noon and
night by children, by school girls, by work
ingmen, by brain workers. by mothers, by
old people, by everybody. II is cheap it is
healthy, it is rich in heterogeneous and fatten-
ing matters, il is unstimuating, and, conse-
quently, admirably fitted for hot weather
diet. People in health and people who are
sick are equally sustained by it. We have
known people brought through long, painful,
and distressing scknesses on milk alone and
in one instance knew n distressing case of
typhoid pneumonia of five weeks duration,
wherein the patient took no other food for
the entire period than two glasses Of milk per
day, and yet on this diet the physical strength
was kept up, and there was no suffering from
indigestion or similar troubles with food, as
is frequently the case in illness. We have
found, in our own family, that milk is an ex-
cellent remedy as well as food, in cases of
scarlet fever and diphtheria-those dreaded
children's diseases and we have carried lit
tie sufferers through them ON milk and cream,
frequently given, when no other food could
have possibly been taken. Remember this,
parents In all cases of such sicknesses, give
literally of pure milk. 1t maintains the ex-
cessive waste of the system, is cooling is
agreeable upon the stomach, is readily assim-
Hated, and in all respects is a perfect food.
We urge all to make pure milk one of the
chief articles of diet, more especially during
the hot season. Health and strength will be
promoted thereby, and the doctors kept at
bay.-N 3. Farmer.

Lee & Shepard, Boston, publish Beet
Sugar and Cultivation of the Beet" 1853 pages.
This treatise is of especial interest at this
tine, when numerous experimental efforts to
establish the manufacture of beet sugar in
this country are in progress. The author
seems to have made thorough investigation
of the subject visiting France and Germany
for that purpose. The cost of making beet
sugar in Europe is from 81 to cents per
pound, and the author is of the opinion that
it may be produced in this country at a cost
not exceeding that in France and Germany.
The work is divided into two parts, the first
treating of the history of beet-root sugar, the
advantages of its production, and the at
tempts to manufacture it in the United States
up to 1867. An appendix bringing that part
up TO date would be valuable addition.
The second part treats of the cultivation of
the beet, from the preparation of the ground
and the sowing of the seed, to the harvesting
and preservation of the, crop and the utilizing
of the leaves and pulp for feeding cattle. 1t
appears that in Europe the leaves are kept in
silos as are now recommended for trial
AZ 'his SouH'iS iOi preserving green lOuuer'
The writer thus sums up the advantages that
would follow the establishment of this indus
try here "The introduction of beet sugar
manufacture into this country would be of
great benefit to farmers. 1t would insure to
them superior methods of agriculture, in
creased crops, more remunerative prices,
home markets, and enhanced value of farms.
1t would create industry and diversity labor,
thereby increasing the general prosperity, in
telIigence, and happiness of the community.
1t would certainly reduce the price of sugar,
of bread, and of meat, and render the United
States more independent of foreign coun-
tries"

The DEMAND FOR HEAVY HORSES. During
the past 10 years there has been a great
change in the demand for horses in this coun-
try. Formerly nearly every one bred in rela-
ton to speed and endurance. Now large
proportion of farmers breed with a view to
increasing size and strength. This change is
not the result of caprice. There has been q
steady, increasing demand for heavy horses
and corresponding falling off in the demand
for light ones. Fashion has had little to do
in the matter. Heavy horses are wanted be-
cause they supply an existing want. From
present appearances it will be many years be-
fore the supply of heavy horses will equal the
demand. The country is now we'll supplied
with horses. At no time in its history, per
haps, were there as many horses TO a given
number Of inhabitants as at present. Small
work horses are low, but heavy draught
horses continue to be high. The importation
of Clydesdale and Percheron- Norman horses
increases every year The first that were
brought over were regarded as very uncer-
tain ventures. At present they are of no
doubtful value. The importers of horses
from France and Scotland have suffered none
of the reverses of the importers of shorthorn
cattle. With rare exceptions they have be-
come rich. Now that their worth is appre-
ciated here, all persons having teaming to do
seem anxious to procure them. Large horses
are less liable to injuries from the swinging
of the poles of wagons than small Ones Their

A wash composed of lime, salt and fine sand
or wood ashes, renders shingled roof fifty
fold more safe against fire from falling Gin
ders in case of fire in the vicinity. 1t has
also a preserving influence against the wealth
err, and the older and more weather-beaten
the shingle, the more benefit derived. Such
shingles are generally more or less warped,
rough and cracked. The application OF this
wash, by washing the upper surface, restores
them TO their original firm form, thereby clos
ing the space between the shingles; ana the
lime and sand, by filling up the cncks, pre-
vent il warping By the addition of lamp
black, the wash may be made the same color
as old shingles, and thus the offensive glare Of
a white washed roof is removed.

Size is without doubt the measure of
strength, and big heavy horse will be strong
er and more able to draw heavy load than
a small, light one. But as the soil on farms
varies greatly in texture it will require differ
ent sized animals, according to the nature of
the soil. Heavy clay or hard gravel land
will demand stronger team to pillow and
work the soil, than a smooth, light sandy
soil would hence it will be good economy
to employ horses to suit the nature of the
work. A light span of fifteen hand high
horses, turning up stiff, heavy clay, work
with too much distress, and farmers should
be humane and consider the fact that it would
be the best and cheapest in the end to have
big, strong horses to do the work on such
farms, because they will last longer, do better
and more work, and there will be no re-
proach for cruelty to dumb brutes. Small
horses are preferable to the big, clumsy ele-
plant kind on light loamy or sandy soils and
good level roads to market but look out for
big horses when the ground is hard, the hills
steep and the roads deep, for little horses
can't 'get up and git" at an angle of forty
five degrees like big horses can. triple
team before the pillow when the ground is
hard, and doubling the team on bad roads, is
a good way to get along with small horses if
on some occasion it is required, but when the
OCCASION happens too often it will be better to
keep stout sixteen-hand horses on the farm
and wade through all such difficulties without
molestation. There is something in the good
breed of horses TO be sure, but the manager
has the biggest share of the best breed. One
old Quaker said to another, put the whip in
your horses belly like l do. and you won't
tire your arms so much laying on the CAD. "
The old man was right, and it is best TO feed
well at all times.-COr. Ge1mdnt0'on TEE
