DO COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS PAY:

This very common question &C.
ours in the agricultural papers every
year. 1t can be answered very
briefly. 1t pays cool farmer, who
knows how to use it, and who buys
for cash. to apply ammonia, potash
and p ,osphoric acid to his land if 1t
nee 8 1t and he can get them at their
commercial value. A poor farmer
who buys it Oh credit and does not
know what he is buying, it will not
pay. Il, instead Of buying anybody's
manipulated Fertilizers that are Of.
fOred to him Or credit he confines
his purchase to pure ground bone
(fine,) and then supplements this will,
all the stable manure. cotton seed
and ashes that he may be a pla to
save or purchase, farmer will find
that it is profitable to use certain
forms of commercial fertilizers, while
1t may not pay to use CERTAIN other
forms. | repeat, it will pay to buy
ammonia and phosphoric acid where
bought for cash AMI a full equivalent
OF the sa ne obtained for money if it
be used ia accordance with the laws
Ofsnature, otherwise not. Our farm.
ers have literally thrown away thous
ands in their common practice OF
putting highly soluoles and concen
trated fertilizers in one sin gle furrow
anas as deep as they could get it,
when.if they hal put it broadcast and
near the surface. they might have
saved as many thousands AS they
have lost by the natural practice
that they have fo lowed so long and
which they are 10th to believe i
wroag. Any farmer can prove this
question very easily if he will pro
ceed intelligently to give it a fal,
test. and it is q very important ques

- Career THE HORSE.

l. Never allow any one to tease or
tickle your horse in tile stable. The
animal only feels the torment and
does not understand the joke. Vicious
habits are thus easily brought on
2. Never be at the horse when IN the
stable. Nothing so soon makes him
permanently vicious. /
8. Let the borse's litter he dry and
clean underneath as we'll as on top
Standing on hot fsrmcntins manure
makes the hoofs soft. and brings Oh
lameness.
4. Change the litter partially in
some parts and entirely in others
every morning. ami brush out and
clean the stall thoroughly.
5. To procure good coat on your
horse naturally, use plenty ofyu bbins
and brushing. Plenty Of "elbo"
grease" opens the pores, softens the
skin and promotes the animals gen
eral health. -.-...s
6. Never clean horse in his sta
BILE. The dust fouls the crib, anc
makes him loathe the fool.
Z. Use the currycomh lightly.
When used roughly it is source d
great pain.
8. Let the heels be we'll brushed
out every night. Dirt, il allowed to
cake in, causes grease and sore neels
9. Whenever horse is washed.
never leave HIM until he is rubbed
quite dry. He will proba 'ly get a
chill If neglected.
10. When q horse comes off jour.
ney, the first thing is 20 walk him
until he is cool, if he is hrou Int i'll
hot. This prevents his takin! coil
II. The next thing Is to groom
him quite dry, first with wlsp OF
straw and then with brush. This
removes dust, dirt and sweat. ana al
lows time for the stomach to recover
itself and the appetite to return.
II. Also, let his legs be we'll rub
bed by the hand. Nothing so s''on re-
moves q strain. 1t also detects thorns
or splinters, soothes the animal and
enables him to iced comfortably.
IS. Let the horse have some exer

Is. Every night look AMI see il

produced in Michigan, in the United

cost a fabulous amount. One is Of
light, transparent, fine silk boiling
cloth, and, with all its beautiful silk
embroidery and point lace trimming,
weighs only five and half ounces, with
the steels, bones, eyelets and buckles all
included. The other is Of cream-col-
Ored satin, lined with white satin,
heavily "fanned" and embroidered
with white silk i; rich point lace encir-
cles the bust, and across the waist in
front, ''Modjeska, :" in the form of letters
which heads her show bills, is heavily
embroidered in white silk. Upon the
lighter corset the name in the same
place and the style Of letters is hand
painted. They are enclosed in silk-lined
boxes, with the autograph of the Count
ess on the inside c0ver.-JackSon, Mich

The Population of Paris.

An analysis of the population Of Paris
just published gives very singular sta
tistics as to the inhabitants Of Europe.
1t seems, also, for its size, to be the
most industrious. The proportion in
which the working classes exceed those
who live on their own incomes is the
most remarkable, as Paris is the recog-
nized centre of expenditure and extrav-
agance for all France. There are no
cities that hold to the capital the same
relative position that Liverpool, Man
chester and Birmingham occupy rela-
lively to London. More than halfa mil
lion of Parisans are employed in COM
merce, trade and banking operations
while of the artisan class there are con-
siderably more than million and quar-
ter. The liberal professions seem to oc-
cupy but small proportion of the pop
ulation. All combined do not amount
to 10000, and in the subdivisions the
prominence is quite different to what it
would be with US. The great majority
are in the public service which employs
more than medicine, law and divinity
all combined. But after the public
service, it is art which gives employ
ment and livelihood to the greatest num-
ber of Parisans. Forty-two thousand
get their income from this branch OF
industry. The doctors came after, but
long way after. Medicine in its
branches supports Is, 900, the branches,
Of course, including chemists and all
compounders and vendors of medicine.
Then comes the law with its 5000
votaries, from Judge to bailiff. Liter
ature figures very low on the list, for,
grouped with science and jOurnalim, it
gives employment to only II 900 people,
while all the clergy of all the persua-
sions amount to but half that number.
On the whole, Paris would seem to he
more Industrious. more artistic, less
literary and less religious than the or
dinary visitor would suppose Pail

On THE CONTINENT economy is the
fashion. Their dinners are less lavish,
Intervening entertainments are frugal.
A cup of tea and a cake alone afford
the visitors at French or Italian house
the equivalent of an American ban
quet. Because a New York million
aire gave champagne and pate dc .foie
gras, ices, and other refreshments at
his New Y ears entertainment, the fru-
gal Italians and gossiping American
correspondents laughed at him. A
French woman dresses according to her
means and station. No foreigner is
afraid to say, 81 can not afford it. =
No American likes to say that. If he
gives an entertainment, it is a luxu-
rious one if his wife buys a dress, it
must be handsome one, perhaps more
costly than her purse can stand. And
yet French women always look well
dressed. Hdrper's Bazar.
