The Gardeners MonthIy calls at
tention II the recently demonstrated
tact that the dead branch on tree
makes almost as great strain on the
main plant for moisture as does a
living one. 1t is one OF the most i'm
portant discoveries OF modern botan'
ical science to the practical horticul-
turist, as by this knowledge he can
save many valuable tree. When
one has been transplanted some roots
grit injured, and the supply OF moist
ure in the best cases is more or less
deficient. Any dead branch, or any
weak one, should therefore be at
once cut away.

The LangShan Fowl.
from the Farm and Garden.

From the Farm and Garden.
We have lately given our atten>
tion to this breed in order, If possible,
to discover whatever merit it may
possess, and also to note the differ
ence between it and other breeds.
The Plymouth Rocks were used as
a comparison for the LaIgshans, and
the results are very favorable to the
Langshans as q superior fowl for all
purposes. To give description of
them it may be stated that in plu-
mage they are black, and of green
ish lustre, with handsome carnage
and stately walk. The combs are
straight but small, and as they are
Asiatics, are as large as the Brahmas
and teathered on the legs. They lay
early, have white flesh, feather quick
ly, and are very hardy. They are
good winter layers, some of those we
have examined, though hatched i'll
June, began to lay the latter part of
December, and did not cease until
becoming "broody" in the spring
But the most remarkable qualty in
these fowls is their superiority as mar
ket chicks, and it was in this respect
that we had All excellent opportunity
OF comparison. In several broodS
were Plymouth Rock chicks Of the
same age, and it cannot be denied
that the Plymouth Rocks were un-
rivalled rrapidity of growth, plump.
ness and shape, ,as chicks, but they must
surrender to the Langshans IN that
respect, for the difference in growth
was so distinct, and the superiority
so manifest, that no comparisonsas TO
the real worth Of the Langshans can
be made. Langshan chicks that were
hatched on May 23d weighed two
pounds on July 5d-being only six
weeks Old-which is marvellous.
They received the same attention as
the chicks from other breeds, and all
were running together. The Lang
shans have only one fault, if it can be
called tsslt and that is The tact OF

The Action of Lime as a Fertili-

Sir. John Is. Lswes, writing regard

seven years, while thirty years and
over is stated to be the longest peri
Cd, remarks
When we consider that the lnhu-
ence OF lime upon a soil which is nat
urally deficient in this substance, is
due to several distinct causes, and fur
tier; that the after treatment OF The
land which has received the lime diff.
ters much in different cases, we have
DO difficulty in understanding that
there must be considerable variations
in the periods OF time during which
the beneficial effects OF lime will be
apparent.
Two OF the crops which are grown at
Rothamsted in our ordinary rotation
roots and contain large
quantities OF lime in their ash, and
when potash is not abundant in the
soil, they possess the property OF util'
izing this lime III its place.
The ash of leguminous plants grow

been well supplied with potash, con-
tanned 81 per cent. of potash and %
Der cent. of lime but on pasture
where potash was not supplied, the
ash contained 80 per cent. OF lime and
IA per cent OF potash. Lime, there
fore, economises the use OF potash.
The first application OF lime to
moor land, or to pastures which are
deficient in lime, is often followed by
a growth OF white clover so abundant
as to have led some to the conclusion
that the plant was spontaneously gen

we'd, however, that it is only plants
with creeping roots which can SO rap

frequently be observed in the equally

Beautiful and Brave.

The gifted Dewitt Talmage presched
sermon in Brooklyn recently, with reference
to Decoration day. Among other things he
said:
"This annual decoration of graves finds us
in moro thorough peace than in any previous
year. This last week the General Assembly
of the Presbyterian Church South has made
overtures to tho General Assembly of the
Presbyterian Church North, and that closes
the last gap ecclesiastical aud the last gap
national. This year the graves of the north
ern and southern dead are alike covered and
without any protest. Time has come to cover
up all the scars of battle. The dead arc at
peace. Why not the living? They suffer
more than we. Cannot We, who suffered less.
be at peace? The boys in blue and those in
gray went down in tho same tent for the
night. They put their heads on the same
pillow of dust. They have stacked their arms.
They have ended their march. They have
fought their last baltic. Sleep on, great host
of FedeTals and Confederates, till the morn,
ing light shall break through the riffs of the
tonts and the trunpets shall sound the
reVeiilo OF the resurrection. II seems to me
very much like this Two brothers get into
an awful fight aud they are both slain. The
mother hears about it. She comes down and
sees them stretched on the grass She kneols
between them. She put ono arm around
George aad the other arm around Thomas.
She does not stop to think. which was right
or which was wrong; she kisses them both
and SO our northern and southern brothors
wont forth into the conflict and they fell
Now, this week, let the United States gov
crnment, the moshor of US all, como down to
the field, end putting one arm over the grave
of tho northern men, and the other arm over
the grave of the southern men, pronounce
her benediotieu upon them all.
1t seems to me that there has been enough
suffering on both sides to satisfy the worst
man on earth and the worst devil in hell. AT
Arlington Heights ten years ago r southern
woman put wreath on the grave of her fallen
husband. A northern man with cpaulets,
came up, took that wreath, tore it to pieces
and then threw it to the winds He had the
! ePsulets CT a soldier, but he had no soldiers
heart. I would that all the garlands that
have ever been lain on the graves of northern
and southern men were lifted and linked to-
| eetber, each garland a link, and with tina /
long. bright. beautiful chain this whole land
might be bound together. in peace and
smity."
