An Illinois Wheat Field.

Mr. Editor AT Bowensburg, Hancock k
county, there is wheat field, not large but
promising, not ripened but progressing
towards maturity. Itcontains sixty-fve acres
and is sown with two or three varieties, which
now promise well but not equally. The
first feature of it is the condition of the
ground. 1t is low-lying piece of prairie,
with some depressions and places where
water has stood in past years sufficient to
destroy or very much shorten whatever crop
was on them. One year since Dr. Archie
Mcneil, the owner, laid 1900 rods drain tile
through the field, having special reference to
these low places, but draining the whole.
This was done at an outlay of 5000 and the
board of the hands. The field was plowed
as soon after as convenient and in Septem-
Der sowed. The winter and spring have
been very wet and neighboring fields have
suffered much from this cause, but this field
has been relatively dry and there is a very
even stand of wheat on it all. In those
low and depressed places and Immediately
over the drains the wheat is visibly the
plumpest and rankest. None of it is winter
killed, but chintz bugs are supposed to be in
some parts and probably will damage it..
The army worm also has begun in some
parts to strip off the leaves and may injure
1T considerably, but no very serious appre-
hension is now felt for the crop. Still it is
too early to speak definitely concerning it..
The prospect is that the early yield will more
than pay the whole cost of tiling. BY extra
crop is meant, beyond what was ever raised
on it before, or will be raised this year on
untitled neighboring fields. 1t is at least
week earlier than any have seen, the stand
is far better and the heads seem to be longer
and heavier. If these prospects continue
and no disaster befalls, it will be an instruc-
tive experiment in undertaking. These
tiles are laid from one and one-half to FIVE
feet deep, no board under the tiles, and they
evidently do the work expected of them.
They are now discharging considerable
streams of water, and of course conveying
currents of dry warm air to all parts of the
field in the depths of its soil, and the out
look for effect is now favorable.

for crops to the superphosphates, and most
farms have the wood ashes to use. II not
the same object is attained by the use OF
soda ash, an article easily obtained in all
the markets, and now generally used by soap
boilers in making hard soaps. To dissolve
bones or mineral phosphates (the last to be
ground) make layer of one hundred pounds
bones or mineral phosphates, then layer Of
one hundred pounds freshly burned lime,
water to be thrown on it until it begins to
slake, then a layer of one hundred pounds
soda ash, and so repeat till the quantity de-
sired to make is obtained. Then wet it down
with water, which will slake the lime and
unite it with the soda ash making caustic
liquor which acts upon the phosphstes,
making phosphate of soda which exists in
the ash of nearly all plants and is always
present in urine, and other animal manures.
Growing plants also, some more than others,
have the power to decompose mineral sub
stances, as have also the gases of the air and
the carbon and water of the ground. II is
also evident that other aids come into play
and exert decided influence. Herr Senet
of Eisenach has submitted the question to
long series of investigations and the conclu-
sions he arrives at are well worthy of the
attention of scientific men. His results go
far to confirm the theory that the organic
acids have played much more important
part in the formation of rocks and minerals
than geologists have been in the habit of
conceding. 1t is evident that plants while
living are able, by the products of their
growth, to act upon insoluble minerals and
appropriate certain constituents to their
wants, and that when the plant is dead, it
can, during the process of decay, produce
acids that either dissolve minerals, or render
them soluble. ANDREW II. WARD,

Bones.

Mr.. Editor On account of the difficulty
of grinding raw bones, without which they
are of no immediate value when applied to
the soil, and when coarsely ground requir-
ing large application to affect the first crop,
and then gradually decomposing, lasting
for years, and requiring large outlay of
capital for this purpose, it was found to be
economy to dissolve or soften the bone with
sulphuric acid, and even though it doubled
the cost of the bones, yet much less guam
tity sufficed, and they could be applied and
the farmer receive the return annually in
stead of waiting for a term of years for
restoration of the capital put into the soil.
When bones are used with sulphuric acid,
making superphosphate of lime, on its ap.
plication to the soil it is not used in that
condition by plants, for If it was it would
act corrosvey upon their tender tissues,
but it reverts to its original condition, ex-
cept it is now in the finest possible state of
division. When mineral phosphates are
used there is no difficulty in grinding them
to an impalpable powder, which in this form
applied to the soil is more advantageous
than when converted into a superphosphate
with the aid of sulphuric acid, which is
inconvenient and expensive to use while by
using the mineral phosphates finely ground
more than double the quantity of phosphoric
acid is applied to the soil at the same cost
incurred in using superphosphates. Thus
farmers will receive back in the crops the
the first year as much as they would if they
had used a superphosphate, and have as
much more left in the soil for further
drafts upon it. But bones and mineral
phosphates can be decomposed and rendered
soluble by alkalies as well as by acids, and
are in this form better food for plants, az
they need alkalies as well as phosphoric
acid, and the alkalies are not only food,
but Eeutralize the acid of the soil, and lib
crate other food for plants, putting the soil
in its most favorable conditions with proper
cultivation TO bear abundant crops. Bones
or mineral phosphates when composted with
wood ashes in moistened state for few
! weeks are decomposed, and are preferable

Science Teaching In Colleges.

The Springfield Republican says: Colo.
mel Lee, who presided at the Harvard alumni
dinner, introduced the present Professor
Agassiz, only son of the great naturalist,
by telling the story of the woman who, in Civ
ing the traits OF her children, said George
is the most remunerative of all my sons,"-
for it was through Alexander Agassiz that
many of these gifts for the endowment of
scientific research were made to his alma
mater. In responding to this introduction,
Professor Agassiz made the most original
and best speech of the day, short as it was,
and widely as it varied from the accepted
model of after-dinner speeches. He declared
that his gifts, such as they had been, were
bestowed for the sake of placing the uni.
versity where he received his highest edu.
cation on such a footing in respect to nat
ural science that it would not inevitably be
left behind in the career of modern educa-
tion that it was not enough to continue
Harvard in its old track of classical scholar.
ship and mathematics, but that much must
be done to liberalize the study of science
there. The curriculum, he said, must not
be exclusive but incisive the university
must open its doors to the men who wish to
pursue the Investigations of science with as
much readiness and furtherance as to those
who make scholarship and literature their
aim, or the general culture which the older
colleges have given. In illustration of his
meaning he alluded to Darwin, who, he
said, has influenced the thought of mankind
more deeply and widely than any man since
Sir Isaac Newton, yet against whom the
doors of the English universities would have
been closed, as they were closed against
Watt and Stephenson and Faraday, if
Darwin had not pursued in youth the estab-
lished Greek and Latin course. Professor
Agassiz did not develop his plan for liberal.
izing the study of science at Harvard, but it
is understood that he has proposed TO the
college corporation, of which he is mem
Der, that there should be two courses. one
classical and the other scientific, in which
equal advantages and equal honors should
be given to the young men who take them.
Let the advocates of the old system and of
the new solve the modern problem of educa-
tion together" said Professor Agassiz,-a
suggestion which every friend of liberal cul-
ture will echo.

scription and stops his paper" we remind

morning, intend to stop your paper !" Oh,
no." said Mr.. Greeley, " don't do that"
"Yes, sir, my mind is made up. / shall
stop the paper" The angry subscriber was
not to be appeased, and they separated. Late
in the afternoon the two met again, when
Mr.. Greeley remarked; "Mr. Thompson,
am very glad you did not carry out your
threat this morning" "What do you
mean ?" "Why, you said you were going
to stop my paper" "And so did | went
to the office and had my paper stopped"

from there, and the press was running and

Value OF Swine Manure.

A correspondent of western paper truly
says that, as ordinarily managed, half the
value of the manure made by the swine is
wasted for want of proper absorbents. Nj
trogen and phosphoric acid are the costliest
and most potent elements in fertilization,
and in many soils they are the only elements
which need be supplied to the soil. 1t fol-
lows, then, that the dung of animals which
contains most of these substances is of the
most Importance to the farmers. The fresh
dung OF swine, when they are well fed, is
richer in these two substances than that of
horses, sheep or cattle, as the following table
of comparative values will show. These
figures represent the amount of these in
gradients in one thousand parts of fresh
manure

tt is here shown that in nitrogen, the most
costly element that farmers are obliged to
supply to the soil, the average price of
which, take one year with another, is TWEEN
ty-fve cents per pound, ranks much higher
than either of the others named, in fact,
about double that of horse or COW manure
and more than double that of sheep. Where
the urine is all saved, the preponderance is
with the sheep manure first, the horse next,
then cattle and swine last; but then hogs
void large quantity of urine, making up
in quantity what it lacks in quality. This
urine can easily be saved by the use of alb
sorbents, such as straw, dry earth or muck.
The two latter are not only excellent absorb
ents, but they are among the best deodor-
izers. by their liberal use the pens will be
free from any offensive odor, and prevent
disease among the animals.
