as TO retain all the fumes of the sul-
phur. When Stacked add enough
water to make thin whitewash.
Put this wash on the trees with a
broom or brush, taking care to keep
the sulphur well stirred up, as it will
be found to float like scum of oil on
the surface Of the water.
This lime and sulphur wash is good
tor grape vines and posts and stakes
in the vineyard. When properly
made and pat on, a strong smell
of the sulphur will be detected sew
eral feet from the trees aad vines
during the whole summer. These
fumes, caused by the slow combus>
ton or oxidation of the sulphur, IS
the reason why it is used to dust
grape berries and leaves to check the
spread of Oidiune, miIdew, grape rot
and other iungoid diseases, because
the suiphurious oxide gas is formed
and pervades the surrounding atmos.
phere, all these fungus growths are
instantly killed. So, too, would be

The use Of sulphur as herein re-

have tried it, it is hoped it will be
more generally adopted by all orch
artists and grape growers.

Mr.. Martin A. Connolly, a merchant
in Oil City, Pa. writes: II inherited i'll
health from my parents, who were both
short-lived. My wife is sickly little
woman, and has suffered considerably.
We have had five children, three Of
whom died in infancy; the other two, a
boy four years of age and girl of seven
years, have always been quite puny,
weak and sickly. Some time ago read
medical work that spoke OF iron as
being essential to life, that a want of
iron in the blood was the principal
cause of ill health. Shortly afterward
/ saw an advertisement of Browns Iron
Bitters. l determined to try it for my
self and family. The result has far ex-
ceeded my greatest anticipation. Myself
wife and children have all grown heal
thy and strong. Sores, aches and pains,
headaches, indigestion and sleeplessness
formerly so common in my family, trou-
BILE us no more. Every bottle is worth
its weight in gold.

ions poured upon the bread, when
the soup is served hot.
Two other preparations OF onions
may be mentioned as excellent. One
of onions and eggs is made by peeling
and cutting Valencia onions in slicts
about quarter OF an inch thick, sea-
soning them with salt and pepper,
frying them until tender, without
burning, in butter; they are then
transferred to a hot dish with skins
mer, lemon is squeezed over them,
and halt dozen poached eggs'are
laid upon them. A German dish ct
onions and cheese is made by placing
half inch. slices of large onions in a
buttered baking dish, seasoning them
with PEPPER aud salt, and cooking
them just bender in hot oven. They
are then arranged on dish without
breaking; little grated cheese, pref
erablY Parmesan, is busted over
them, and the dish is returned to
the oven long enough to slightly
melt the cheese, when it is ready to
serve. Are not these dishes novel
enough to tempt tastidious eaters? II
not, let them ponder upon the wish
OF a well-knowu metropolitan wit,
who adores fair women and onions.
Quoth he: "Oh, if | could but find a
woman who adores onions as l do!
l would have her eat ali she desired,
and then-stand in the middle of the
street until the rose returned to her
breath. "-JuIiet CorSon.

The onion stands pre>emiuent as 4

marked character. When eaten in
moderation it slim ulates the circula-

The Muck Controversy.
Prairie Farmer.


Prairie Farmer.
Not long since the Boston Journal
Of Chemistry published az editorial
article under the caption OF "Ihe
Muck Delusion," in which the idea
that muck possesses mannrial value
to any appreciate extent was ridl-
culed. The views OF the editor OF
the Journal, were at variance with
the Investigations OF some OF the
most noted authorities who have
written on the subject, as we'll as
with the experience of many practi
cal farmers. The reason for this
wide difference Of opinion upon the
manurial or tertilizing value of this
substance is, doubtless explained by
difference in the minds OF the dit
terent doctors as to what muck really
is. The editor of the Journal of
Chemistry speaks of a substance
holding 10 per cent Of clear sand
and 30 per cent. OF black mold; but
that is not what is meant when the
term is used in this section of coun>
try. The composition of muck varies;
there are many kinds containing in
greater or less quantities, phosphoric
acid, ammonia, vegetable matter,
sulphur, and salts OF lime and potash,
all OF which are valuable to the FAR
mer. What Is generally understood
when muck is referred to is decayed
vegetable matter in low lands and
marshes. Here a rank growth of
weeds and coarse grasses year after
year has grown and decayed, it may
be for centuries until the mass of
roots and fbres and decayed stems
is several feet thick. 1t is well
known fact that such lands when
drained become the most fertile por.
tons OF many farEas. 1t will not do,
therefore, to accept the outglvings of
our scientific contemporary that
muck, SO tar as the manurial or amel.
iorating value to many soils is con-
cerned, is "delusion." We know
of instances where muck has been
composted with barnyard manure
and applied TO sandy land year after
year, until the soil has undergone
marked change. The Weld of the
land has been steadily improving,
and the chemist who would ridicule
the value OF muck in the hearing OF
the owners of such land would him.
self be called a scientific humbug."
1t is usually dug III the summer and
allowed to dry out, and then it is
drawn 10 the field where it is to be
applied, and barnyard manure also
hauled TO the same field and mixed
with it, one load of the latter to two
of the former. 1t has been found
from experience that the effect OF
this compost is much more beneficial
to crops than the same quantity of
barnyard manure on the same
breadth OF land.
But 1t is not alone on sandy land
that muck is beneficial. 1t contains
more OF less nitrogen, though, as has
been said, it varies much III compo-
sition. Thin and worn lands have
been benefited by its use; but the
measure OF value OF any kind can on
ly be definitely ascertaiGed by trial
