No BEST FERTILIZER.-Dr. Lawes o
Rothhampstead, England, found in thief
course Of his experiments in wheat grow
ing, that certain field would produce
fifteen bushels of wheat annually per acre,
without he application Of any manure
whatever. The application of a small
amount Of nitrogen enabled him to double
The crop. showing that for the time beng
1t least. nitrogen was in less supply than
he other required elements. But be also
| found, that if he added the nitrogen in the
| firm of stable manure. he was applying it
tt an expense four or five times as great
Is if he applied it in the form of sulphate
of ammonia. The lesson to learned by
such experiments is, that there is no best
manure or fertilizer for all soils, nor is the
same manure certain TO be the best for a
given soil in all years. The soil is con-
stantly changing under cultivation and
cropping, and the most intelligent system
of manuring, is the one which supplies
just what the present crop requires, in
order to reach II maximum growth. Sell
ing boats and potatoes soon exhausts Il
soil of its potash and therefore potash
must bcappIed freely, or some other crop

A PLEA FOR PLEASANT KITCHENS.-It
was always % mystery to me why
farmers, when Building. should always.
or with but very few exceptions, put
the kitchen in the gloomiest part of the
house. If there is place on the back
side that does not seem suitable for any
other purpose, that is where it is usually
located; while the parlor, which is used
the least, occupies the pleasantest part
Now the kitchen is the place where the
housewife spends the greater part of her
time, for we ali know that homework on
farm is no small matter. and laborious
ut the best. Then, as it is in constant use,
why should not all its surroundings be
made pleasant and agreeable, and not only
pleasant but convenient? By that mean
that the room should be of good size, not
so large as to seem that three rooms had
been thrown into one. but large enough
to enable the housewife and her helpers
to pass and repass without jostling one an
| other.
Then there is the SINK another very
important item. never yet saw one that
was connected with farmhouse that was
any too large. One that will hold milk
|
too extensive. Not that we would have
them remain there all the time, but there
are days when such things will accumu
late to quite an extent, especially or
churning days. Then is the time that it i,
convenient to have a place to put them uF
out of the way and no fear of tumbing
over them.
Right here l would like to whisper q
word in the farmers ear: There is nothing
that will cause woman to wear a smiling
countenance SO much as TO have wood anc
water handy, and enough of both. II a
man is no expected to do the work on The
farm without good tools, WHY should the
| ike be expected of womanp She need
lem to accomplish her par of the work
Just as much as he does, for often,ilnes it i
by their united efforts that the mortgage /.

made more comfortable by the means. A
heoe little arrangements seem rival, bu
hey goa grcat ways towards making on
lahnrs lighter and more pleasant o benr. -

Ny Dear Madam: Your note, asking
how oysters are best cooked, is at hand;
and, if should be obliged to answer la
toncaly, should say that, for you, at
least, oysters are best cooked when not
cooked at all.
Oysters are strangely and wonderfully
compounded. They are made up mostly
of liver. The central and tender part is
liver. Most animals that we know about
have glands for manufacturing digestive
luid, and make it when it is needed from
time to time for the purpose of peptioniz-
ing the food eaten. (Peptionize Is hard
word, signifying the change wrought in
food before it is fit for absorption.) Most
folks keep but little stock of gastric or
other digestive juice by them. The oyster
keeps on hand not only enough to digest
his dinner, but he also keeps enough stor-
ed up in his liver, his better half, to digest
himself Indeed, he comes to US here in
tubs or cans already partly peptionized.
Heat kills all digestive juices; therefore,
ny cooking, you throw away all the hep
you might have from the oyster himself to
digest himself.
