STONES IN SOIL.
They Serve More Than One Useful Pur-
pose. and 1t Is Not Always Wise to
Remove Them.

They Serve More Than One Use,ul Pur-
pose. and 1t Is Not Always Wise to
Remove Them.
Some people, on every occasion when
opportunity offers. take pains to remove
all the stones they can see from the soil
in their gardens. Perhaps it might not
be too much to say that nine times in
ten, mischief is done rather than good
by the practice. Stones in soil serve
more than one useful purpose. When
laying on the surface, they act as a
mulch, checking evaporation. Their
slow decay and disintegration by the
frost and the action of the elements
contribute to the replacement of the
food extracted from the soil by the
roots of plants. When the staple of
the soil is stiff clay, their action is
particularly beneficial, as they break up
its coherency and modify the texture.
Prof Wrightson, in his handbook of
agriculture. says: MANY soils now
worked as light lands would be unwork-
able clay were they not lightened
up and divided by countless stones"
1t is true light, stony soils soon dry ND,
the water easily percolating through
them, and, subsoil being generally of
the same character, water is soon
drained away. Further, stones absorb
no moisture. the amount of moisture
absorbed by the soil being in the inverse
ratio (other things being equaD TO the
quantity of stones it contains. But re-
moving the stones will not remedy the
evil. That would not add to the stock
of moisture, neither would that removal
increase the quantity of plant fool nor
enlarge the extent of root room. With
regard to the aforementioned particular,
the only effect of the removal Of the
stones would be to make the sol, shall
lower. There is yet another Office per-
formed by stones in the soil. By break
ing its continuity it checks p:llarity
or the upward motion of its moisture to
the surface, thereby indirectly ret-irding
evaporation. Howbeit, if the tubsoil
contained materials of sufficient guam
tity and suitable to the end, and it were
practicable by deep trenching. with the
removal of the stones. to form soil of
sufficient depth and suitable texture for
the healthy, vigorous growth Of plants.
then the carrying out of the operation
might prove an advantage.-Gordening

Family Feeling Among Cats.

81 had two CATS" says Dupont de
Nemours; "they were mother and
daughter. The mother had produced
her kittens on certain day, and they
had been all left with her. The daugh-
ter gave birth to her first litter on the
following day, and was very i'll. She
lost consciousness and motion with the
birth of the last kitten. The mother
went round and round her. lavishing on
her all the expressions of maternal
tenderness, which are very numerous
in the vocabulary of cat language.
Perceiving at length that the care She
was expending upon her daughter was
in vain, she busted herself, like good
grandmother, with the little creatures,
crawling in n desolate and orphaned
condition upon the ground. licked all
the litter, and finally carried them to
the bed of her own children, where she
shared her milk with them.
"a full hour afterward the young cat
came to her senses, looked for her little
ones, and found her mother nursing
them. There was great joy on both
sides. and many touching expressions
of affection and gratitude were ex-
changed. The two mothers established
themselves in the same basket, and
while the educational period lasted
they never left it except separately.
One always remained on duty. Thus
they nursed. caressed and impartially
reared the seven kittens, of whom three
belonged to the daughter and four to
the grandmother. = Mrs. Hoey, on

How a Calf Shot a Man.

Abe Terrence, colored man OF
Sharon township, is now nursing a
gun-shot wound in his scalp, inflicted in
very curious manner by calf. Abe's
intention was to slaughter the calf.
and, procuring double-barreled shot
gun, he marched to the barn-yard, &C
companied by young white man. Abe
approached the calf and. getting into a
good position, raised his gun and fired.
He was not a good marksman, and in
stead of killing the animal only
wounded it severely. The calf plunged
about at such a rate rs to make shoot
ing at it again impracticable. Abe laid
his gun on the ground and went for an
axe. The young man caught the calf
by the tail. in the erdeavor to hold it
SO that Abe could dispatch 1t with the
axe, but as the executOner approached
the calf lunged around and gave the
gun an accidental kick. The weapon
was discharged and the load perforated
Abe's scalp. After this the two men
succeeded in killing the calf. Abe's in
jury is very painful, hut no: serious

times thrown after the married couple,
the custom coming to us from China,
and the Chinese getting it, perhaps,
from Central Asia and India, where the
rice is not thrown, but is sent in a little
bag from the house of the brides father
to the house of the bridegroom. This
practice is also survival of the time
when the brides clothing and food
were sent after her in order that in her
