ERch series was duplicated, and the
above Is the average result. The crop
with no manure was taken as one hum
dred. Nitrogen, as nitrate Of soda, was
added in each case at the rate of thirty.
five pounds per acre; potash as chic.
ride. seventy pounds. and phosphoric
acid as superphosphate. eighty-seven
and one-half pounds per acre. BY com.
pairing the cans having nitrogen with
the others, it is evident that nitragen
had very little effect upon the peas,
while with the barley the results are
remarkably beneficial, ranging from
thirteen per cent. when the nitrogen
only was added to fifty-five per cent.
when applied in combination with pot
ash and phosphoric acid. Manu'ring
with potash and phosphoric acid
brought gain of forty-seven per cent.
to the pea crop, only little less than
when the nitrogen was added (No. 81
The soil nitrogen was sufficient for the
growth of the peas. while it did not
supply the needs Of the barley plants.
Stated in another way. the facts are
still more striking: The potash and
.phosphoric acid brought twenty-six per
cent. more dry matter, and this gain
contained .06 grain of nitrogen. The
addition of 2 grain OF nitrogen in the
soda salt gave an increase of eighty-one
per cent. of dry matter and .18grain of
nitrogen. 1t is seen that nearly all the
nitrogen was recovered in the crop.
These experiments show that peas
are much better able than barley to as
simulate the nitrogen Of the soil. The
pea crop in the experiments contained
between three and four times as much
nitrogen as the barley plants, but this
does not indicate that peas should have
more heterogeneous manure than barley.
Peas can obtain their supply of nitrogen
from ordinary coil, and respond freely
to applications of potash and phosphoric
acid. Barley, on the other hand, though
needing comparatively little nitrogen,
obtains it with difficulty, and is greatly
benefited by heterogeneous manures.
These experiments do not agree with
the idea that crops should be MANFRED
with those elements of plant food
abundantly found in them by analys es.
Peas are closely related to clover,
both belonging to the lcgumes, and
barley is first cousin to wheat. The
facts here presented accord with those
determined by experience, experiment,
and analyses regarding clover and
wheat. Clover does not respond quickly
to heterogeneous manures. though con-
tanning comparatively high per cent
of nitrogen in it's composition. Wheat,
requiring only little nitrogen, is not
able to obtain that little easily, and is
much benefited BY the applications of
soluble compounds of nitrogen. 1t is
easy for clover to get its large amount
of nitrogen, while it is difficult for the
wheat to obtain its small per cent Of
the same element. The conclusion here
obtained is opposed to the use Of the So
called special manures made for any
particular crop. American Agricultmr-

The Signal Service and Meteorology.

The Signal Service in its presen.
form for making observations and re-
ports on the weather and publishing
probabilities of changes in advance was
instituted about twelve years ago. II
is branch of the United States army
service, and the officers are either Of
ficers of the regular army or are liable
to be drafted into the service in case of
war as part of the army signal corps, OF
which this is really part and an extern
sion. The work is performed at widely
separated stations in such parts of the
country as offer especial advantages
for observing the various changes in
temperature, atmospheric pressure,
moisture, rainfall, and direction and
velocity of wind and air currents.
These reports of themselves are of very
little service. but when they are tele-
ington and marked down upon large
map there, the Chief Officer has before
him very plain and full view of the
state Of the weather all over the coun-
try from points reaching 5000 miles or
more from the Office. Every detail is
thus placed directly under the eye of
an experienced meteorologist, who can
then prognosticate with considerable
certainty what changes will take place
At any particular locality, and how soon
these changes may be expected. Thus.
the course of q storm beginning in
Manitoba or in the Gulf of Mexico can
be marked out in advance and almost
the precise hour fixed when it will
reach any place in its course. This
knowledge is Of the greatest value to
sailors and also to farmers, who can be
forewarned twenty-four or even forty
eight hours in advance of it and so be
prepared for it. Meteorology is the
science Of the atmosphere and its physi-
cal changes, or In other words. the
science Of the weAther.-M Y. Tinss

The Greedy party sailed July z, 1881.
. few DAYS after President Garfield was
shot, The last news they received at
st. Johns was encouraging, and they be.
lieved he had recovered. More than
two years elapsed, during which they
were utterly cut off from communities
ton with their fellow men. so that some
meager scraps which had been used as
wrapping paper, were treasured like
gold. They were spread out, put to-
gether and eagerly scanned. President
Arthur was alluded to, and they then
knew the fatal issue of the assassin's
shot. The loss Of the Jeanette was
mentioned, and they supposed the entire
crew had persisted. The word ''dude"
appeared in the print. This was stun
ner. They had never heard it before,
and many and sharp were the contro-
versies regarding Its Specification. One
of the first interrogations uttered from
the throsts of the feeble survivors as
they saw approaching the rescuing
party was: what is dude ?"-Clepe-
land Leader.

Husking Corn.

The best husking peg or hook is iron
or steel, fat, with ring at one end for
the little finger, and bent at the other
end to meet the thumb. A light strap
thrown over one or two of the middle
fingers is help. Wear the husker on
the right hand. II you are husking
from standing stalks, grasp the ear with
the left hand on the under side, with
the thumb above the ear and toward
the stalk. Split the husk at or near
the outer end Of the ear by running the
husking-iron through it, at the same
time pressing the husk down on the
iron with the thumb, SO as to hold it
firmly, and then with one movement
upward, strip one-half the husk (the
upper half from the ear back to the
shoulder; then quickly draw the thumb
and fingers of the left hand together so
- to grasp the other half of the husk
under the ear, removing it. and then
slip the left hand up to the shoulder,
back of the hand downward. thumb
and forefinger next the stalk and
resscd firmly against the inside of the
whole husk and directly over the
boulder or inner end of the ear, and
with the right hand holding the ear in
any convenient position, break it off
over the forefinger or thumb of the left
hand. The best way usually to take
hold of the ear with the right hand for
the purpose of breaking it off is. with
the fore part of the hand (thumb and
forefinger) toward the stalk or inner
end Of the ear.

Except under wise and skillful man.
agement the hired help on farm is a
source of never ending trouble and
veyation, not to say actual and material
loss. On the whole, the faults are very
nearly balanced between employees and
employers. Sometimes the employees
are really lazy, inefficient and untrust-
worthy, and sometimes the employers
are harsh, overbearing and tyrannical.
An intelligent, capable man of inde-
pendent spirit, who knows his rights as
well as his duties. will not long endure
service under a man who is Extensively
domineering or q chronic scold and
fault finder, any more than an en-
ployer of the former character will re-
tain a man in his service who is sullen,
shiftless and unreliable.
1t will be found in the case Of hired
help, that it pays in the end to be kind
towards them, and considerable of their
welfare. The man who treats his help
as he does his cattle, with the sole view
of getting rs much work out of them
as possible with the least possible
trouble and expense to himself; who
drives them to work early and late;
who is harsh and exact;ng in his deal
ings with them; who is quick to deduct
from their wages for all lost time, and
slow to allow compensation for extra
service, may succeed for time in such
q course, but he will be the loser in the
end. He will often find himself de-
serted in emergencies and forced to de-
pend upon temporary and transient
help. He will be subject to constant
and vexatious change, for the best men
will remain with him the briefest time.
Those who, for various reasons, feel
obliged to remain in his service for any
length of time, will take but little real
interest in his affairs, and their work
will generally be done in the most me-
,hanical and superficial manner. An
employer who manifests little or no re-
gard for his employees beyond the mere
question of the amount of work per-
formed can hardly expect them tc
manifest, in turn, that intelligent and
genuine interest in the results of their
work which is necessary for its most
complete and successful fulfilment. All
work is done best that is done heartily
and cheerfully. but this cannot follow
where the work is done under the eye
of . petty-spirited, merciless taskmas-
ter.
Methods that are practiced with the
poor and ignorant classes of some east
ern countries, can never be introduced
with success in country like ours. aud
especially in districts where the hired
help are native Americans and quite
equal to their employers in intelli-
gence. 1t is often complained that
really good help is scarce. but it is
probably not more scarce than the PEG
pix who know how to keep good help
when they get il. Forbearance and
consideration need to be exercised on
both sides. -NeW York Observer.

"A row of fine trees along the road
side forms an attraction to any farm,
says the Tribune and Farmer, but it is
not always desirable in every view. If
the trees are close to the side of the
field their roots will often exhaust the
soil for rod or more inside the fence.
md this, to farmers who pride them
selves on having crops even over the
whole field, makes the trees almost as
much of a nuisance as they would be if
not beautiful. It is the water that these
take up that makes the crops poor I'M
der them, SO that even heavy manuring
does not entirely remove the difficulty.
