Scot for the Garden.

Those who have SCOT, either of wood
or bituminous coal, should, ssys the
Prairie Gardener, carefully save it for
use in the garden. 1t is valuable for
the ammonia it contains, and also for
its power of reabsorbing ammonia. 1t
is simply charcoal Carbon in an ex-
tremely divided state, but from the
creosote it contains, is useful in de-
stroying insects, and is at the same
time valuable as a fertilizer for all gar
den crops. 1t must not be mixed with
lime, else its ammonia would he dissi-
pated, but if the soil is dry and hungry
a little salt may be used with it. SCOT
stepped in water and allowed TO stand
and settle for a day or two 10 also a
most excellent fertilizer for house
plants, possessing precisely the same
qualities that the parings of horses
hOofs do. For flowers out of doors it
is especially valuable, since it nay be
easily applied, and tends to increase the
vividness ofthe bloom, and mixed with
salt it is a most excellent fertilizer for
asparagus, onions, cabbage, etc., in
connection with compost, in the pro-
portion of one quart of salt to six quarts
of SCOT. For two bushels of compost
this quantity makes a heavy dressing
for each square rod, to be worked in

Hills or Drills for CornS

The question as to which is the most
profitable, the planting of corn in drills
or in hills, is still considerably dis
cussed, and we noticed last season a
number of fields drilled that. produced
well. Apparently there was much
saved by the drilling system, as it only
requires that the land should be marked
out one way, and the corn dropped
along the furrow and covered by the
plow. There is undoubtedly good
economy Of time by this plan, and, if
the plants are properly thinned, much
more corn to the acre results than when
planted in hills in the usual way. Three
or four stalks in one hill necessitates a
strong struggle for food. These four
plants do not do 30 well, thus struggling
together in hills every four feet apart,
rs when each plant is but one foot
from each other in a regular line.
There are as many plants to the acre in
one case al in the other; but each one
being isolated, yields more than when
four are together in one hill.
II this were all, there would be no
question about the value of this sys-
tenn, but we have looked into both
methods carefully, and have noted that
the drill system, though taking less
labor at first to plant. takes more labor
to keep clean. In the hill culture it is
necessary to have considerable hand
labor to keep the weeds out of the hills
until the corn gets large enough to take
care Of itself; but the drill system gives
us three or four tiues the number OF
hills to look after. Indeed every stalk
is a hill. Thus the manual labor Is
nearly quadrupled.
After all said about the profits OF
farming, it is not so much the crops
which are produced, or the prices tag
produce brings, whichmakes our profits.
Labor-human labor-is the great draw
back in all questions rs to what we can
make from u land; and, MS a general
thing, those systems prove, in th long
run, and most profitable, which pro-
duce the best crops by the least am ollnt
OF hand labor. In this mooted question
of drilling or killing cora, there is no
doubt but an acre Of the former will
yield more than an acre OF the later;
but IL costs more hand labor thar the
other, and therefore does not pay as
well. We have seen it carefully tested,
and know whereof we speak. When
hand labor can be had for twenty or
thirty cents a day, we may have an ,ther
opinion. - Germantown Telegraph.

why Are There Any Unmarried Women,

~ M
One of the greatest social problems OF
the day is to explain why there are so
many manageable women who do not
marry. Some say it is owing to an ex-
cess in numbers of women owe men in
consequence of which there are not hus-
lands enough to he found. This, how
ever, is disproved by statistics. Take
the world through, and figures show
that there are as many men in it as
women. Others attribute it to the ex-
pensiveness of modern life. Men do
not marry because, it is said, they San
not afford it. But the fact is, hat no
nan who truly loved a woman ever
hesitated to become engaged to her,
and eventually marry her because of
her poverty. There are cold -blooded
men, with no idea of any feeling for a
woman stronger than languid admira-
ton, who may be deferred from assum-
ing what they regard as a burden in the
shape of a wife, unless assured of a lib
eral income. but most are not so calcu-
lating. Others, again, attribute the
evil to woman's fastidiousness. They
expect too much in II husband, and
while waiting for an impossible shadow,
let the possible substance slip through
their fingers. This is n libel on the sex.
AS a rule, they are no more ~fastidious
than men are, and arejust as susceptible
as men to that enchantment of love
whichinvests its object with every per-
lection and covers up every fault. So
far as men and women are concerned,
they are as prone to marriage now as in
any period ofthe worlds history. Never
ertheless, there are women waiting for
husbands and not getting them. They
are pretty, they are accomplished, they
are sensible, and under proper training
they would make excellent wives and
mothers, but they never get a chance.
What seems to be needed is a more
thorough method Of bringing men and
women into social contact with each
other. II Golden Era.

Unsalted Batter.

A short time since we referred 10 the
increased use Of unsalted butter In this
country, and as q sequel 10 what was
then said, it may be we'll 10 call atten-
ton 10 the circumstance that a process
has recently been invented in England
by which butter Of this kind can be
kept certainly for months, and possibly
for years, without apparent deteriora.
ton. An experiment made proved that
fresh butter, when treated with this
preservatiye, could remain exposed to
the action Of the air for three months,
and at the end Of that time it was hardly
possible TO detect the difference between
it and the newly made article. Some
experts at butter tasting, it is said,
thought that it lacked something OF the
aroma which butter fresh from the dairy
possesses, and that an exceedingly
slight trace Of salt in it would impart TO
it more character. But for all practical
purposes the article, at the end OF three
months, was as good as at the beginning,
although under ordinary conditions it
would have been considered unfit for
eating at the end Of ten days. The
preparation, as it is called, by the use
OF which this result is obtained is at
present q secret. 1t is an odorless, taste
less and harmless antiseptic, and has
also the merit Of exceeding chespness,
SO much 80 that the quantity needed to
preserve a pound of butter costs in
England about half a penny.
1t is worked into the butter directly
after churning, and then all that is re-
CURED is that the manufactured article
should be kept in a tolerably cool place.
The change which this discovery prom
Uses to bring about can hardly fail to be
an important one, al it will tend to
equalize the cost Of the best table but
ter through the entire year. Hitherto,
in the winter months, the price Of even
mildly-sslted butter has been high, for
the reason that that made in the sum-
mel for winter consumption could only
be kept pure by the admixture Of a
large quantity Of salt. The same is true
Of what is known as cooking butter,
which, as it is frequently made in a hur-
ried and imperfect manner, is only
checked from early putrefaction by the
excessive use Of saline preventative
Now, if salt is no longer necessary, but
ter may be good or poor, but in either
case its merits or faults will not need to
be disguised under a covering OF SALT
1t is also intimated that the same prepa-
ration can be applied to the preserving
Of fresh meat, and il this proves to be
true, its effect upon the trade and diet
