The National tribune., 1885-10-01
Claims OF Deaf Soldiers.

To THE EDITOR: Referring TO the communi-
cation from Comrade Foster in The NATIONAL
TRIBUNE of Aug 90, relative to the disability
of deafness, permit me to say that if there is
one class more deserving of an increase Of pen
sion than another, that class is, in my opinion,
those afflicted with deafness. | feel sure that
any one who will fully investigate the matter
in all its different bearings will fully agree
with me on this point. Compared with the
pensions granted for other serious disabilities,
the deaf have received nothing but q mere pit
tance, by no means commensurate with the
disability, ever since the war. Under the pres
ent law only Sl3 per month is allowed for total
deafness, with propOrtiOuate amount for par
tial loss of hearing. Just think of it, only $13
per month to those who are totally deaf. Is
not this glaring injustice2
So far as the ability to secure employment
and earn support is concerned, severe deaf
ness of both ears alone is much greater disa-
bility than the loss of a leg below the knee.
Let those who doubt the truth of this assertion
fully investigate the matter and see if am
not correct. Look, for instance, at the profess
siOns-iawyers, doctors, teachers, etc-all these
avenues of employment are practically closed
to those afflicted with total or severe deafness,
but not so to those with the loss of leg.
Look again at the various classes of mercantile
business; they are all practically closed to the
deaf, bat not so to the other class referred to.
LOOK also at the trades ana IN TINS instance IL
is true, that with the disadvantage loss of hear
ing causes, they arc open to the deaf; and it is
also true, that with some few exceptions they
are open to those with the loss of a leg In
fact, there is scarcely any business of life for
which total or severe deafness, if not an absO-
lute disqualification (as it is for at least three
fourths Of the vocations of life, it is, to say
the least a great hindrance and disadvantage,
while there are numerous classes of employ
ment for which the loss Of a leg is practically,
but little if any disqualification; and yet, what
a vast difference in the amount OF pension the
two classes receive. Is not this injustice? 1t
most assuredly is. The loss of hearing does
not appeal to the eye and enlist the sympa-
thetic feelings, as does the loss of limb and
other visible disabilities, and is considered, at
first thought. by many persons to be q slight
atfliction, while, on the contrary, it is a very
serious disability wher the earning of a sup
port is taken into consideration to say nothing
of the pleasures of life from which the deaf are
debarred.
A number of bills to increase pensions for
deafness have been introduced in Congress
within the past five years and their failure of
being reached and passed is simply due to'the
fact that there are comparatively but few PEN
sioners for deafness, and they have failed to
secure the necessary and deserved support in
advocating and urging their appeals for justice.

AN OLD FARMERS EXPERIENCE
know, not so much what is absolutely
the best feed. but what is most ecODom-
ical-something good and substantial
and not too expensive, which he can
raise on the farm. Corn fodder, when
properly cured and stored, makes good
feed, but if it is in the field, or long ex.
posed TO the weather, it is scarcely
worth cutting and shocking, particular.
pf the weather has been wet. Wheat
5 straw is not very nutritious-.food for
cattle, but as most farmers raise wheat,
it is good plan to have plenty of straw
well stacked, to which cattle during
winter, may have free access and let
them eat what they will. About the
best and cheapest food for cattle is good
timothy hay, with occasional feeds of
corn. Clover may be fed to cattle with
good advantage. Turnips aud pump
kins, where they can be successfully
raised, make good feed for fall and ear
ly winter. Potatoes, either raw or cook
ed, make good feed. and the small ones
cannot be used to better advantage than
by feeding them to cattle. Potato and
apple peeliugs mixed with bran or meal
make good feed for milch cows. Cattle
as we'll as other farm animals appreei-
ate good treatment, and should be treat
ed kindly and even petted.

ORIGIN OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
AS the Jews bad mystical reverence

As the Jews bad a mystical reverence
for seven. and the ancient Welsh and
CeIts for three, and the Greeks per
feet philosophy constructed out OF the
harmonies of all sorts of numbers, so
the Romans fell tack upon scaie Vi
twelve, or mere properly upon scaie
with a base of six Accordingly as they
divided the pound into twelve unciCe, so
they also divided the foot, which was
the standard OF linear measure, into
twelve sections, and called these twelve
uncie too. But how did they get to the
inch originality ? Rather, how did they
get at the pound for that and not the
inch is the unit. There seems TO be no
precise information. They would di-
/ vide anv unit into twelfths, and a pre-
vaiiing notion was at ONE time that the
linear unlcios was really the original, and
was then transferred as name to the
weight. This. though plausible. is
/ hardly the case. The ounce is literally
| the twelfth, and thus we see at once the
sense of speaking ot an ounce of time,
/ an ounce of land OF an inch of milk,
| just as an inch of a mans will or an
| inch of interest for money on loan. It
was always the twelfth of the unit
twelfth of an hour twelfth of jugerun,
that half acre which the two oxen plow-
ed in a day twelfth of a sextarius OF
| equivalent TO our pint twelfth of the
entire hereditas twelfth of the princi-
! y, l., OF
usury, j. e., over eight per cent. 1t is
accordingly as much OF mistake to say
that the primary meaning of the word
is linear, which is to say that it comes
straight from the Greek into the Latin
and thence on to US. The whole riddle
is plain enough when we get to the true
origin of the word-a twelfth, Once,
indeed, it used to be said that the true
origin was that the word meant a thumb
breadth, because its equivalent pollex 10
linear measure was often used in its
place. But this is not the case. Some
Of the old Latins themselves, moreover
thought it meant literally 1.-The unit >
but even this will not hold beside the
proper siginfcation OF twelfth. The
pound weight was really never divided
by Inches or ounces. 1t was divided bV
twelfths, BY halves, by thirds, by fourth'
and by sixths. Ard here again we see
what a convenient base a system oi
twelfths is for division compared with 8
system of tenths, which could only bt
divided evenly in two ways. by two anC
FIVE. For seven ounces they used the
literal seven twelfths for eight ounce:
they said ''two parts, j. e.. two thirds
for nine, "wanting fourth, which witt
US seems a roundabout way of express
sin three-quarters for ten, wanting {
SIXTH; for eleven, wanting twelfth. ;

FERTIIJzERs OF HOME MANUFAC-
TURE. There is continually growing
tendency on the part of farmers who are
compelled to go beyond the resources OF
the farm for fertilizing material to pro-
cure the crude material and do their
own cGmpo1nGing, finding it to pro-
duce fully as satisfactory results, and
at a much less cost. Even with all the
safeguards that experiment stations and
state analysis are supposed to throw
around the farmer, the use of many or
the CONNER ciaI fertilizers offered for
sale is not entirely satisfactory. In
conversation with gentleman who had
used large quantities, be remarked that
'she had used tons of fertilizers and yet
did not believe he was one cent better
off for their use.''
One fact is certain, that all who have
manufactured their own phosphate claim
to be much better satisfied with it than
with any they can purchase, and at a
cost of only about one-half. Or, if far
mers prefer, they can purchase those
crude materials WHICH contain Ihe eIe-
ments of plant food and mix in such
quantities as the crops to which they
are 20 be applied demand. Bone phos-
phate can be procured for S1.55 per
hundred sulpbate of ammonia for S3.6
per hundred muTiate of potash for
| 81 % per hundred and from these can
be obtained the principal elements OF
/ plant nutrition. Prof. S. w. johnson
states that in 1884, in Connecticut, sd
per-phcsphstes were sold at an advance
of AZ. 9 per cent. of the wholesale price
of the raw materials. These sugges
fions are made for the purpose of in.
forming the farmer upon matters upon
which he might he in ignorance.-Ger-

In answer to the question, what is the
best season of the year for pruning a
young orchard the Country Gentleman
says Late in winter, or early in spring
before the buds swell, if you wish to
maintain the vigor of the trees. If they
are so thrifty as 90 give annual shoots
three feet long, you may prune late in
spring or early in summer. If the prun-
ing is to be very light and with small
shoots, the time will not be very impor-
tant but if the trimming is heavy, the
above rule is to be carefully observed.
The value of the bean crop is not in
its foliage but il its grain. An exces-
sive amount of nitrogen in fertilizers
makes straw. but without proportion
ate amount of pods. This is more espe-
cially true in coarse stable manure,
which heats in the soil, causing incIeas-
ed warmth. Finely rotted manures, or
nitrated in their concentrated form, are
often apparently as helpful to grain
production as mineral fertilizers. They
undoubtedly make available some min
eral plant food in the soil that would
otherwise be unavailable. In like man
ner caustic potash or soda, as ashes or
salt, will often change inert nitrogen in
the soil to forms in which plants can

An old recipe for making grating
wax, and good one, is four parts resin,
two parts beeswax, and one part tallow
Melt all together in a kettle, over a
moderate FIRE, and when we'll mixed pour
into a vessel of cold water to harden
When stiff enough to handle grease the
hands, and then pull and work the wax
until it is white, OF amber colored, and
of even quality throughout. Apply the
wax to the gratis in such way that
the air shall be entirely excluded from
ali raw surfaces on scion and stock. In
cold weather the wax may need warm
ing by working it in the hands, or it
may be melted and applied with a brush
For small trees in nurseries, we have
used the wax on strips of cloth prepared
by simply dipping the strips in melted
wax. These, wound around the stock,
keep the scion firmly in place.
