hollow sides down, The test to ascer-

steam, knack which may readily be
acquired. In roasting over a blazing
wood fire the flame would envelop the
oysters and cook them equally we'll at
top and bottom. Those who havo never
eaten oysters from the shell as taken
from the hre have yet to eat their first
really good roasted oysters. Although
over hall century ago oysters wore

size and quality for frying were much
moro abundant than now. The oysters
were either covered with rolled cracker

A STICK Of wood burned on the sur.
face mostly passes off in gas, leaving
only the ashes, but the same stick, il
burnt in coal-pit excluded from the
air, forms q mass Of carbon OF nearly or
quite Its original size. Now, all decay
of vegetable matter is slow combus-
tion, and when this is done under the
soil not only are the gases retained IN
the soil, but more carbon is formed and
this carbon has the power to appropri-
ate the valuable gases always present in
the atmosphere. The great value of
clover as fertilizer is duo. first to the
carbon furnished by the decay of tho
plant, and second to the fine mechanical
effect on the soil, which renders it por-
ous, 80 that the atmosphere penetrates
it and deposits plant food. 1t is clear
that better fertilizing effects will result
from the ploughing down Of the crop to
decay in the soil. Ordinarily moro can
be made out OF tho tops than they are
worth for manure, and, if rightly man
aged, the roots will supply the needed
fertility.
