An Every Day Occurrence.

Once upon time a Donkey fell
into d deep hole, and, after nearly
starving, caught sight ola passing
Fox, and imp!ored the stranger to
help him out.
II am too small toad you," said
the Fox. "but l will give You some
good advice. Only few rods away
is big. strong elephant. Call to
him and he will get you out i'll a
.jitiy."
After the Fox had gone the Don
key thus reasoned to himself: 81

ment. Every move | make is just
50 much additional loss OF strength
JfI raise my voice to call the ele-
plant shall be weaker yet. No, |
will not waste my substance that
way. 1t Is the duty Of the elephant
TO come without calling"
So the Donkey settled himself
back and eventually starved to
death.
Long afterwards the Fox on pass
ing the hole saw within it a
Whitening skeleton. and remarked:

Call .Mr. Henry.

AS an illustration of how the sim.
pie are used by politicians, the fol.
lowing anccdote is interesting:
At Il political meeting the other
night, the speakers and audience
were very much disturbed by a man
who constantly called for MIR. Hen
~. Whenever a new speaker
came on the stand, this man bslwled
out
"NIr. Henry! Henry! Henry! /
call for Mr.. Henry!"
After several Interruptions OF
this kind at each speech, a young
man assembled the platform and
was soon airing his eloquence in
magnificent style, when the same
man as before was heard bawline
cut at the top Of his voice
"Mr. Henryl Henry! Henry! Icall
for Mr.. Henry to make "a speechp
The chairman arose and remark,
ed that it would oblise the audience
if tile gentleman would refrain
from further calling ior Mr.. Henry
as that gentleman was now speak
ing.

disturber Of the meeting. "Tha1

Salt rs a Fertilizer.

If it is to be believed that plants
require in the sofia supply of every
element they contain, then salt
must be considered as plant food
and as a fertilizer. Salt is certain
ly contained in all plants, and it is
also a component part of the blood
and of the flesh and fluids of the
animal system. 1t is also contained
in almost all soils, bat it is so ex-
ceedingly soluble that it cannot
help but be carried off by the drain
age water to Very large extent
Consequently it is exceedingly
probable chat. in inland districts at
least, the soil will in many cases be
deficient in this substance and
should be supplied with it. In
practice it has been found very
useful to many crops, especially
grass, oats, wheat, cabbageS, turn
Ups and mangelS. 1t consists Of
chlorine and sodium, the latter be-
ing the basis OF the common soda.
1t has been used with good effect
upon the light soils Of New Jersey
quite close to the ocean, and Il we'll
known and successful farmer i'll
that State uses more than a ton of
on his meadows every year. Being
soluble, it should, be applied when
the crop is in growing condition,
which is spring. when the growth
is about beginning. Its greatest
effect is upon clover, which is very
much improved by it; 250 pounds
per acre is the usual quantity
Wheat is also greatly benefited by
an application OF 500 pounds of
salt to the acre; the effect ofthe salt
being to produce Il thin bright hus&
and to prevent Smat and rust
Barley is also affected in the same
favorable way by similar appllca
tion of salt. The crop most bene
fitted by salt is mangelS, TO which
about GOO pounds per acre is APP
piled Immediately after the seed is
sown. Pastures are greatly i'm
proved by Il liberal dressing Of
salt, as may be seen By the bright
er green which appears few days
after the application. This Is not
at all due to the increase OF moist
IRE, as is sometimes supposed, us
the small quantity Of water absorb,
ed ny 500 or COG pounds of salt
would bc wholly incapable Of MAX
any visible effect upon the tield.-
