Tan Bark As a Fertilizer.

Spen. tan bark ms received from the
sanneries is valuable as q fertilizer, and
it would pay for the trouble OF drawing
it some distance. The tanningor tan
mic acid which the tanner extracts from
the bark is of no value as q fertilizer IN
reality, because this il furnished from
the atmosphere; it takes nothing which
comes from the soil, and is OF value
when returned to- the soil Leaves con-
tain more potash and Phosphates than
the limbs or timber of the tree. Bark
contains nearly as large quantity OF
these minerals as tile leaves weight for
weight. A much farger bulk OF ashes
will be found after burning bark in q
stove than after burning wood. II bark
from the tannery is placed in a hill and
mixed with quick lime, decomposition.
will be accelerated and good pile OF
fertilizing matter obtained, which would
be equal in value to many of the cheap
commercial fertilizers sold. A pile
made up this fall and turned over few
times id the spring of the year would no
doubt make good fertilizer. 4a''1ersoan

cred. among other scraps of interest andinfor-
nation. the following: The first place visited
nv the reporter was the fruit store OF Mr.. j.
Ievett, No. 67 Market street, in response to
rumor that the proprietor had been cured OF
the rheumatism by the great remedy MIR.
Levett not being in, the reporter had talk
with his son. Mr. LeVett stated that his IA
tber had been cured OF an exceedingly bad at
tack of rheumatism by the St. Jacobs Oil. he
had the disease in his right arm and shoulder,
which became perfectly helpless after being
affected few hours. His pain was SO great
that he could not rest in comfort or attend to
business with any degree of satisfaction. Aft
err enduring this sort of thing for some time,
he purchased bottle of the Great German
Remedy and began to apply it. He did not
mince matters at all, but just used the Oil fol-
all it was worth. After pursuing this mode
| of treatment for three days the pain was ban

condition. He has never since felt any rheu-
