Gathering and Planting Bones.

The value of bones as fertilizer,
in their various forms is well known.
The cost, some thirty to forty dollars
a ton, is the chief objection to their
use by the average farmer. 1t is not
so generally understood that whole
bones, as they are gathered from the
refuse of families in the streets and
yards of our villages, are quite as
available, and within reach of many
thrifty farmers who have business
every week in the neighboring towns.
They are especially valuable for plant
ing around fruit trees and vines.
They can be put in trenches within
reach of the roots of trees already
planted, with great advantage to the
wood and fruit of the trees. They
are rich in ammonia, as well as phos-
phoric acid, and will show their
effects in the increased yield of fruit
for twenty years or more. They have
no standard value, and can generally
be purchased of the boys. who are
glad to get thirty-fve or forty cents
a barrel for them. Sometimes a .bo-
nanza can be struck at the slaughter
house of the village butcher, where
the refuse of slaughtered animals,
mixed with absorbents, make DOW
erful fertilizer. This is much more
valuable manure than that of the
barnyard. The buried bones graiu-
ally soften under the influences of the
soil, of heat and frost, until the fine
plant rootlets penetrate the substance
of the bone and absorb the nourssh-
ment. If you take up a grape vine
that has been planted over bed of
bones, after few years, you will find
the bones firmly grasped by the roots
and in a decaying condition. From
one TO three bushels may safely be
planted under every pear and apple
tree and grape vine.- Vim. cuff. IN

Marrying Four Wives.
From the Portland Argus.


NEW YORK, Dec. fiat lunch
yesterday gentleman told the fol-
lowing story of metropolitan life:
Some thirty years ago a young
Greek came to this city and entered
into business. He had rooms in
business block, and was supposed to-
be unmarried. A few months since
he died. leaving property to the
amount of SI,200,000. His lawyers
found among his papers an informal
will written by himself, whereby he
gave his property to his four wives
in equal parts. Attached to the will
was an explanatory paper to the ef-
feet that desiring vigorous and
healthy offspring, and being in doubt
iniregard to the national blood which
would form the best admixture with
his own, he had married four wives
English, French, German and
Spanish, and was raising family by
each wife. He requested the lawyer
to call these wives together after his
death, and tell them the true story
of his life, and divide the property
equally between them.
Upon looking into the matter it
was found that the four marriages
were informal and by contract, and
that each contract bore the same date,
tO-wit: 8 p. M, Nov. 16, 1870. Each
wife told the same story of her mar
rage. Each said that she was engage
ed to the Greek, and one evening
when he was about to leave the city
for a few weeks he sent for her to
come to. the hotel where he then
lived. She went. He came into the
room where she was with the writ
ten contract in his hand and both
signed it, after which he hastily left
for The train. as she supposed. When
he returned to the city they COM
menced housekeeping, and he spent
such time with her as his business
would permit. You see, he wrote
four marriage contracts at the same
time. Then he had the four girls
come to his hotel at the same hour.
He hastily stepped into the room of
each girl and signed the contract with
each, so that in the coming years
neither wife could claim priority of
marriage. 1t was also found that in
naming these wives in his will and
the explanatory paper he wrote them
alphabetically and called attention to
the fact that he did so.
After the husbands death, when
the four wives met in the lawyers
Office and heard the story of their
one common husband, and examined
each others marriage contracts their
establishment can be imagined.
Neither could claim priority of mar
riage. Neihter could claim to be the
one legal wife. Fortunately all were
sensible women, and they readily
agreed to divide the property equally
and avoid all publicity. Each took
her 100000 and went her way
quietly.

The money made by farming Is the
.clearest, best money in the world. 1t
is made in accordance with Gods
first law-under honest and genial
influences away from the faint of
trade or the fierce heat Depreciation.
1t fills the pocket of the farmer at the
expense of no other man. His gain
is no mans loss; but the mere he

The result of Crooks campaign, as told ID his report, k as follows:
 The United States forces cannot pre- vent the Apaches from crossing the bor- der whenever 1t suits the Apaches to cross
 The Apaches can travel as far in one day us our forces can in three.
 The United States army cannot un- dertake to put in the field more than fprty-two men, fully armed, equipped and mounted.
 When the Apaches are defeated in an engagement 1t Is not safe to pursue them. as they can pick of the pursuers Tn safety from behind rocks and canons.
 When the Apaches surrender, only those who wish to go back to the reser- vation surrender. The rest of them with the captives-cOntinue the raids.
 When they surrender it Is not safe to disarm them. as that would make them think we were afraid of them. More over, we cannot disarm them if We would.
 When band ofred-handed murderer- surrender, with the scalps of white men and women at their belts, 1t is not judi cious to punish any of them. They do not know any better.

She Has Rn.innss Tnnt

Miss Helen Green, Daughter of c. J.
 Green Of Carroll county. Is an example
 of what a young lady can do m this
 country If she will. With good busin -s
 capacity, hut with no more than the or
 dinary education of the public schools
 and plenty of snap and energy, but DO
 influential friends, she commenced two years ago as a commeIc cial traveller for a su all house in Kansas City at $50 per month. By her own unassisted efforts and merit alone she Is now travelling for the Mound City Lead and Color Co of St Louis, at first-class salary, with the indorsement from her employers that she sells more goods than any other salesman they have, and they employ eight on the road all the time. We com mend her example to those girls who are teaching school at S30 per month, or worse still, sucking their thumbs in idle ness while mother" does the work and supports them. It may not be fashion ! able for girls to earn their own living. ] but we confess to an admiration for the | pluck and energy that has placed Miss l Green on the road to a competence. ! She has helped to solve, ia a practical way, the question, What can girls do to earn a living?" There are plenty of girls that can do as she has done, with he same success.-Carroll Record.
