cabin on St. Catherine Street, where
Lei was wont some weeks ago to reno

property by destroying a counter, paint

plaintiff and his witnesses made out their

Song Long was the first witness, dark
eyed, cheerful Celestial, who certainly
looked as if he had his wits about him.

"Me Chinaman.
"No-what do you believe IMP"

"llow do you swearP' persisted the
court.
"Me no swear at alice" deprecatingly,
and in half-injured tone from the

The court then remembered having
heard of Chinaman who was sworn by
getting on his knees and breaking a
saucer.
"Do Won swear on q saucerpn quoth

as the awful knowingness Of the clerical
inquisitor thrust itself upon his mind, he
quered, "You know that, ehp"
Apause ensued, and the court gathered
strength for fresh attack.
"Are you q Buddhist" was asked.
"Me know not what you say. What

The hickory Nut Dodge.

A certain laborer attending plaster
er who was ''first-coating" on the third
story of house found that be had too
much to do; for, work as hard as he
could, the plaster-board was always
empty and the plasterer waiting when
he got up. At last he fell upon novel
way of tightening his labor. He pur-
chased three cents worth of hickory nuts,
and, putting few among the mortar in
the hod, he emptied it on the board.
Tlse plasterer, seeing nut sticking
among the lime as he was laying il on
the wall, picked is out, and, cleaning it
with his apron, cracked tho shell and
ate the kernel. Repetition OF this sew
eral times took up SO much OF his time
that, when the holman came up with
the next hod. very little of the former
one had been used The holman put in
few more whenever he was falling
behind, and at night told his boss that
if he would add quarter day to his
wages he would keep any two plaster
els going.

A oslo" within the Means OF Every
Farmer,

At least two farmers in Vermont haze
built themselves each a silo in their barn, tax
ing the space of one of their bays for hay.
the corner bay in each case, judging from the
description; the boarding and the timbers
OF the barn forming two Sides and common
3x6 Joist being used for studding for the 9TH
er two sides. OF course it is double boarded
all round, the space between the outside
and inside boarding being filled with saw dust
spent tan or similar substance, packed close
to exclude the air. If the barn has a cellar
under it, the pillars or supports of the bot
tom of the silo should be made CAPABLE of
sustaining great weight-one or two hundred
tons-and the floor of the part used for the
silo be double planked, with the space be-
tween packed as the sides. silo of this de-
scription, l2x15 feet and 10 to ~ feet high
would hold from $50 to 200 tons OF fodder
when cut and thoroughly packed as put in.
The fodder best for this purpose is. no
doubt, green corn grown on soil well manur-
ed, so as to raise from 20 to 80 tons to the
acre and cut after the ear is set but before
the corn Is fully grown on the ear. The on
ly real difficulty in filling the silo is cutting
the fodder sufficiently fine @ or ! of an inoh)
as 1t is run into the silo. This must be done
by steam or horse power. The time will
soon come when the farmers who do
not have q steam engine of their own on their
farm willunite, say three or four of them or so
and have portable steam engine for this pur
pose-using it also for other purposes. Green
fodder for the silo must be cut within the range
OF very few weeks. One farmer could plant
his corn for fodder early, neighbor a little
later, and another later still, so that the mort.
able engine in this way could be set to work
filling the first silo by the middle or goth of
August and the last would be safe as late as
the middle or goth of September. In this
way Tour or tive silos or more could be filed
with one engine of 3 or 4 horse power, which
with all the necessary attachments for doing
the work, including the cutter, would cost
probably about $500, or 800 each for five
neighboring farmers.
The cost of the ensilage in the silo, includ-
ing seed expense of culture, harvesting and
hlling the silo, is estimated by Mr.. j. II. Far.
num- Waltham, at ST. 40, and by Capt. John
Phillips, OF Hudson, at $l.63, both practical

nitrogen, which is productive of growth in
plants, as coal in pit differs from coal when
employed in furnishing light and heat in our
houses or motive power in our engines.
This active nitrogen. on which the growth
of our plants mainly depends, is also very sol
uble and, in consequence, is readily worked
out of the soil; though wherever perennial
vegetation exists there will certainly be less
loss of nitric acid, while there may be also
more liberation of that substance from the
organic nitrogen existing in the soil in an in
ert condition. Compared with the cropped
portion of the field, there will be more accu-
mutation of vegetable matter, less removal of
such vegetable matter, and certainly less re.
moval of active nitrogen by washing.
1t is at this point that the practical and the
scientific agriculturst somewhat differ with
regard to their conclusions. The practical
farmer, finding that the soil has become more
fertile, and having arrived at the fact that fer
tility depends very much upon the amount Of
available nitrogen, comes to the conclusion
that the land must have acquired an addition
al amount of that substance.
The teachings of science, on the other
hand point out that the increased growth, so
far from proving any addition TO the existing
nitrogen, is simply obtained bya reduction Of
the stock in the soil At the present moment
am somewhat inclined to agree with the
views of your correspondent, and to think
that where land in an impoverished arabic
condition is allowed to cover itself with peren-
NAL vegetation, there will be an increase in
the total nitrogen.
At Rothamsted we have arabic land that was
laid down to pasture at periods of 20 and 30
years ago. According to our estimate of the
probable condition of the soil when first laid
down, we find this land now contains an am
cunt of nitrogen which it is difficult to account
for, except upon the suppOstion that it has
been acquired from the atmosphere.
This subject is being moro rigidly investi-
gated at the present time. But may say, on
the other hand, that none of our experiments
upon arabic land give any indication of the
soil or the crops deriving any sensible amount
of nitrogen from the atmosphere.
The next number of our Royal Agricultural
Society's journal will contain the analyses of
a very large amount of the water which pass
es through the drains of our experimental
field under permanent wheat
As in some of the experimental plats no nj
trogen is ever supplied in manure, while in
other plats it is applied every year in quaint
ties ranging from small to large, the varying
amounts of nitric acid which we fnd in the
drainage water give a wonderful insight with
regard to the operations which are going on
in the soil

Agricultural statistics of the Census of
1850,

The statistics of the census of 1880 were
the products of the soil. The inquiries on
the census schedules embraced one hundred
questions relating to the farm. Probably no
single farm was found yielding all the prod
ucts included in the inquiries though more
than three-fourths Of them were pertinent to
an average Vermont farm. All these statistics
were required by the census law to be taken
by the enumerators in the month of June,
1880, but the work of compiling and publish
ing them appears to be q very slow process.
Being taken in the month of June, the statis-
tics of agriculture necessarily give the prod
ucts of the year previous, or in the last CEN
sus, of the year 1879 An exception is found
in the number and value of each kind of live
stock and the number of pounds of wool,
which were taken for the year of the census
1850. Maple sugar might have been so
taken, as well as live stock or wool but the
census schedules required the product, not of
the last sugar season before the census, but
that of 1S79-the year previous. Perhaps
the Washington officials who prepared the
schedules thought maple sugar was made in
the summer or fall With the exception of
live stock and wool, the census will show the
products of 1879, and, as the statistics are not
published and distributed before 1882, the
products of two years intervene before we get
the results. In other words, we first get the
census reports of the products of 1879 in 1882.
The value of the statistics is greatly impaired
by being so long delayed in publication. 1t
seems to one uninitiated in the mysteries of
circumlocution Office that means might be de-
vised to give the public that part of the CEN
sus which is completed by the enum orators in
one month within the year for which it pur-
ports to be taken. A part of the census work
was put into the hands of special agents or
experts, and some of these were issuing circu-
lars making inquiries as late as last month
the replies to which were to be embodied in
the census of 1880!

We cleaned our premises of these detesta-
BILE vermin by making whitewash yellow with
copperas and covering the stones and rafters
with it. In every crevice in which a rat could
go we put the crystals Of the copperas and
scattered il in the corners Of the floor. The re-
suit was perfect stampede Of rats and mice.
Since that time not football Of either rats or
mice has been around the house. Every
spring coat Of yellow wash is given the
cellar as purifier, as a rat exterminator, and
no typhoid, dysentery or fever attacks the
family. Many persons deliberately attract all
the rats in the ntighborhood by leaving all
the fruits and vegetables uncovered in the
cellar, and sometimes even the soap is left
open for their regalement. Cover up every
thing eatable in the cellar and pantry and
you will soon starve them out. These pre-
cautions, joined to the service Of good cat,
will prove as good q rat exterminator as the
chemist can provide. We never allow rats TO
be poisoned in our dwelling. They are so
apt to be between the walls and produce
much annoyance.

atmospheric nitrogen. While not in any wav
wishing to accept or deny the idea that a soil
may OBTAIN combined nitrogen from the at

changes which take place in the nitrogen al.

In these worn-out soils there exist large
amounts of organic nitrogen in a very ineTt
