GERMAN POTASH SALTS.-The principal
source of potash now is the German potash
imported from the mines in Germany.
There are different grades of these salts,
ranging from the inferior article, kainit,
that contains about twelve per cent potash,
up to the better grade Of muriate of potash,
that contains from fifty to sixty per cent.
The sulphate of potash contains from thirty
to forty per cent. pure potash. Ordinary
kainit, that contains twelve to thirteen per
cent. of potash, contains, also, sixteen to
eighteen per cent. sulphate of magnesia and
thirty-five to forty per cent. of chloride OF
sodium, common salt) thus supplying four
mineral elements-chloride, soda and mag
nesia in addition to the potash. On account
of the presence of chloride of sodium it is
not good plan to apply kainit in the drill,
for it isa very easy matter to apply enough
to prove of real injury to plants. kainit
should generally be applied broadcast after
the land has been ploWed. Seventy-tive to
one hundred pounds may be safely applied
in the drill for any crops, but the writer has
found that either three or four hundred
pounds in the drill was very injurious to
Irish potatoes, in fact, it ruined them in
several instances.
twill be seen that phosphate of lime and
kainit supply about all the essential mineral
elements. At this time available phosphor-
ic acid is valued at ten cents per pound and
potash centS-a very great deduction from
what they were few years ago.-SAMUEL

BONES FOR GRAPE NINES.-If bones are
really as valuable as they are claimed to be
by some for grapevines, everyone has the
means at hand for stimulating his vines to
a wonderful vigor. 1t is said that if bone
be planted in the earth near the root of the
grape the vine will send out leading root
directly to the bone. In its passage it will
throw out no fibres, but when it reaches the
bone the root will entirely cover it with
the most delicate fbres, like lace, each one
seeking pore of the bone. On this bone
the vine will continue to feed as long as
nutriment remains to be extracted. This
is interesting and every one who has the
means at hand to furnish this nutriment to
their vines by utilizing the bones, of which
every house has supply.
BaP Peas and oats are equal to clover, and
may be raised in a variety Of soils. The
pea is rich in caseine Gust what is required
to make milk, } and the oat is also rich in the
elements of milk. These two grow we'll to-
gether, for the oats hold the peas up and
prevent them from lying too flat on the
ground. They mature 50 close together that
they are ready to cut at the same time.
But the crop should always be cut when the
peapod is full and the grain in the milk.
It is then very succulent and palatable, and
will produce as much milk as any food we
know of.

PICKING UP DRIFTwooD.-One of the
most interesting sights on the lower Mis-
sissippi is the system of utilizing driftwood.
A small sawmill is erected on steamboat
and this vessel goes up and down the river
and into each bayou picking up the valua-
BILE logs and at once converting them into
marketable lumber, which they sell at the
river towns or even deliver at q planters
wharf. Now and then one may see the
black and brown sawmill boat moored to
the bank, with fifty or hundred logs lash
ed alongside and stream of fragrant yellow
sawdust swirling into the turbd current
The red-shirted negroes slowly pull in log
and start it up the inclined plane to the
whiring steel teeth that rasp it into planks
with one long sweep and sound; others
pile up the lumber beside the engine til the
deck is loaded. Then the boat is united
and moved slowly down stream with its
attendant RATS of logs. 1t is said that the
only danger to be apprehended is in finding
spikes or nails in foat-wood, which break
the saws and cause serious accidents; but
all suspicious logs are carefully scrutized
before used

A GAME LAw.-The Arkansaw Legisla-
ture has passed game law, an enactment
which is a ''peart" step toward civilization.
Several gentlemen opposed the bill. One
man said: "Mr. Speaker, this here law Will

So HAVE WE ALL OF Us.-"You'd
think" said the man on the wood box,
'sthat squirrel, born and raised and always
living in the woods, would know them so
we'll that he never could get lost and could
find his way anywhere"
"Well, he never does" said the fat pas
senger.
"Doesn't?" replied the man on the wood
box, ''good land, he's lost half the time !;
never knows where he is. I've hunted a
whole good long day for one squirrel and
then gone home without finding him."
And dumb voiceless cry of woe that
could be heard at the @. c. crossing arose
in the car and walked the isle like living
train boy.-BMdette.

THE DOMESTIC DOCTOR.

AS much depends on the food of your
patient as on medicine. If one ever learns
the right value of food and drink it is over
a sick person, when the processes of strength
and growth alter with few teaspoonfuls
more or less of the right kind of nourish-
ment, and you feel the pulse sink under
your finger for want of the draught of beef
tea, or sip of wine and milk, which keep the
futtering strength alive. Many patient
in s. fair way of recovery has been lost for
want of good food to restore the lost vital
ity. You need to learn much to cater for the
sick to give fever patients lemons, acid
jellies-not fruit jellies made with sugar
but gelatine favored with wine and a
breadth Of spice, little liquant soups, few
spoonfulS Of which revive one SO much and
which the system absorbs as sponge drinks
water almost, apple pulp scraped With sill
yer knife, or the juice from the ripest of
strawberries, given drop by drop, together
with barley water made in the good old
way with 'lemon-juice and sugar candy,
and caives-foot jelly, blandest and most
blissful of foods.
Nervous and weekly patients who need
building up require strong broths without
q drop of fat in them, savory roast chicken,
game and such essence of meat as we get by
putting five or six pounds of the neck or
Shoulder of beef in stone jar, covering tight
without one drop of water, and baking in
a moderate oven two hours. The jar Will
be found half full of the richest gravy,
which is the very thing to build up nerves
and brain. A cupful of this gravy heated
scalding hot, with fresh egg dropped in,
and toasted oatmeal crackers, is very
hearty meal for an invalid. But remem-
ber, all food for sick person must be the
freshest, best quality; for anything stale or
indured, which healthy system might get
over, will hopelessly derange feeble one.
Remember, also, that if half the care were
given to the health of we'll people that we
take to cure invalids, there would be very
few sick. Humor the fancies of your patient
all the doctor will allow. If there is a
craving for any one thing in particular,
whether it is roast chicken at midsummer
when chickens are scarce, or oranges out OF
season, guave jelly or velvet cream or white
grapes, get that very thing if you can, and
say nothing about the trouble of getting it.
That will worry all the pleasure out of a
patient, when to crafty his taste may be
the turning point to health. 1t is whole
some for people in this world to have their
own way about their habits anyhow, sick
or we'll always, provided itdoes not inter-
fere too much with the comfort of others,
and to the sick everything should give way.
Lay this rule to heart.

FARM WoRK.-Why should it be called
"hard?" There are no reasons why the Or
dinary work of the farm should have such
stress laid upon it. Scarcely any other de-
partment of labor has so many easy jobs,
and none so many pleasing varieties and
incidents; while its healthfulness and free
dom are proverbial. Do not set the boys
against it by calling it hard. Only the ig--
norant, unambitious and lazy can regard
it in that light. The farm is little king
dom in itself, where the lord of the manor
reigns in envious luxury, if industrious and
wise ; for he can make it self-sustaining and
enjoy wealth and independence nowhere
else attainable. All trades and professions
may 90 down, because they depend upon the
markets, upon one another and upon the
speculators; but the farm stands upon its
own productions, and may be serenely at
rest when all other industries are wrecked
in the storm of commercial adversely.
Real farmers seldom break, but there are
spectators on the farm as we'll as in other
industries, and these frequently make bad
investments and fall through. Neverthe-
less, fewer farmers become bankrupt than
of any other pursuit in proportion to num-
bers. The reason is obvious. The farmer
is producer-he is creator Of wealth and
makes his annual returns. The failure Of
a crop may run him short and his debts
will have to wait, but the next will bring
him up again and the commercial world
cannot afford to cut his resources.
