OF the streets OF most european cues
and towns are disposed of for more than
enough to pay for collecting them.
They are difficult to handle as they are
liable to be blown about by the wind.
When applied as top dressing to grass
land they produce remarkably good re.
suits. The like is true Of their use on
grain fields. The loose materials on
road-beds are carried by rains into
bitches, where they are accumulated or
conveyed, il the land is descending, into
hollows. There they accumulate, and,
after the water has passed out of them
by drainage Or evaporation, they assume
compact form. The consistency OF
the material allows it to be lifted by the
shovel into carts very readily. 1t may
be spread over grass land where it will
disintegrate by the action of rain, or it
may be applied to soil that is devoted to
any cultivated crops. Thevalue of finely
pulverized soil as a fertilizer is admitted
by all who have experimental with it,
and its employment will be general in
the agriculture of the future. Chicago

The best and most thoroughly certain
way to make your beef tender is to
stand in with the boy who drives butch

living next door to millionaire who
dealt with the meat man that suppiN
me. The boy driving the wagon was
corruptible, like the steaks he served,
and Is cents or so would transfer the
tenderness of the milEonaire's Accents
