PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

The human soul needs to be mated

At twenty years of age the win

judgment.
There is no moral worth in being
swept away by crowd, even toward
the best objects.
No action will be considered as
blameless unless the will was so, for
by the will the act was dictated.
New actions are the only apologies
and explanations of old ones which
the noble can bear to offer or to
receive.
So quickly sometimes has the wheel
turned round that many a man has
lived to enjoy the benefit of that char
ity which his own piety projected.
Never contradict anybody in general
society. Rarely do it even at home.
Nobody likes to be contradicted,
even when contradiction is deserved

Poultry Manure.

Professor Voelker, the agricultural
chemist of the Royal Agricultural
Society of England, says in relation to
poultry manure: With regard to the
application of poultry manure. the
least expensive and best way of using
it is to mix it with dry earth, ashes
and such like into compost Mixed
with about twice the quantity of dry
earthly matters of this kind, it will
soon be reduced into a fairly dry and
powdery state, in which it may be
readily sown broadcast or with the
drill, and found very useful in growing
every kind of garden vegetables. For
root crops. such as turnips, carrots,
mangels, ETC., it should be mixed. after
reducing to powdery state, with an
equal weight of superphosphate, and
the mixture drilled in at the rate of
500 pounds to the acre. In making it
into compost with earth, in my iudg-
ment, quicklime should never be mixed
with it, for its effect would be
to liberate the ammonia, the
most of which would escape and
be lost. On the other hand, there
is not only no harm, but a positive adj
vantage, in mixing it with SCOT. In
the absence of SCOT, the next best
thing is to mix it with burnt plaster.
to which a small quantity of super
phosphate is added-the free acid of
which viii effectually prevent the
escape of the ammonia. A mixture of
two parts burnt plaster and one part
superphosphate may be kept in readi-
ness TO mix with the fresh chicken
dung for the purpose of absorbing the
excess OF moisture, and thus facilitate
its being reduced to dry and friabIe
nature. Three parts of fresh chicken
manure and one part of the preceding
mixture of burnt plaster and super
phOsphates, If kept under cover for a
few days and turned once or twice
during the time, and then passed
through a screen or sieve, win be
found to be most efIicacious when ap
Piled at the rate Of from six TO eight

where the soil in the row has become
hard this mulch of fine earth often

pinch off the tips of young canes as
soon as they get about two feet high.
If you wait until the canes are four or
five feet high and then cut off foot
or more, you check growth and lose
some of the best buds. / cut back the
bearing canes of red raspberries and
shorten in side branches early in the
spring, securing more and better fruit
than if the ens.re canes were left on,
and giving better opportunity Cor the
pickers to move about without break

EOR THE EARN AND HONE.


Prof. Sanborn Of the Missouri Ag-
Ficultural College finds by experiment
THAT frequent shallow cultivation in a
dry spell gives the best results. the OBJ
ject being to get a thin layer of dry
surface soiI.-not over two inches in
depth-which will act as non-con-
ductor of moisture between the dry
air above and the moist surface be-
low" He argues that deep tilIage of
surface-rooted crops, like corn, is bad
practice, inasmuch as the roots of the
plants are severed just at the time
when they are most needed; the double
shovel pillow works too deeply. These
suggestions apply to corn, potatoes,
and all garden crops.

now TO Grow TurnIps.

Turnips do best in fairly rich and
rather moist soil. New soil is good if
well prepared. When this kind of
land is selected, it should be plowed
early and allowed to lie until July,
when it should be plowed again, and
narrowed until fine. Any soil is good
for roots which is loose and loamy.
The middle or last of July is the best
time to SOW the seed. but if the wealth
er is unfavorable later than this will
90. have sown turnip seed as late
as the middle of August and still rails
ed good crop; but generally would
prefer the last of July. also find it
better to SOW after a ram than just
before it. have the ground already,
so that when a favorable time comes
the work can be done without delay.
1t is advisable to SOW the seed mixed
with earth or ashes. If sown just
before a rain they do not need to be
covered, but if sown after it would be
a good plan to drag brush over the
patch. ThAy need only light cover
ing to terminate.
/ prefer rather low place to high
land, as they do much better in dry
weather or rather moist soil. Like all
other root crops, they are much better
if they can be made to grow rapidly;
they should be crisp and tender. If
the growth is slow, they get strong and
pithy. The turnip fly is the worst
enemy of the crop, and preventive
should be used as soon as they make
their appearance. / use ''slug shot"
for this purpose, aud for radishes and
cabbages. ! find it as economical as
anything else / can procure.

The Cost OF a Lead Pencil.

"What does it cost to make a lead
pencil?" queried reporter of the New
York Sun. First let me tell you how
we make pencil" said the manufac-
turer. s'See this fine black powder +?
That's graphite. 1t costs twenty-five
cents pound. This white substance
is German clay. 1t comes across the
ocean as ballast in sailing vessels, and
all it costs us is freight. We mix this
clay and this powder together and
grind them in mill, allowing moist
ure to be added during the process, I'M
til the two are thoroughly assimilated
and are reduced to paste about the
consistency of putty.
This paste we press into these dies,
each one of which is the size of pen
Gil lead, except in length. There are
four leads in one of these. After they
are pressed we cut them into thu
proper length, and bake them in ar
oven kept at very high heat. There
we have the lead made. Itsehardness
is regulated by the greater or less
amount Of clay we mix with the
graphite -the more clay we put in
the harder the lead.
1.-THE cedar we use comes principal
y from the swamps of Florida, and is
obtained entirely from the fallen trees
that lie there. The wood is delivered
to us in blocks sawed to pencil lengths,
some thick, to receive the lead, and
others thin. for the piece that is glued
over the lead. The blocks are sawed
for four pencils each. They are
grooved by saw, the groove being
the place where the lead is TO lie.
"The leads are kept in hot glue, and
are placed in the grooves as the blocks
are ready. When that is done, the
thin block is glued fast to the thick
one. When dry. the blocks are run
through machine that cuts the pen
ellis Then they are run through
machine that shapes and Furnishes
them, and they are ready to be tied in
punches. boxed, and put out
