Recent statistics show that IN 1884 the

Recent statistics show that in 1884 the
number of boiler explosions in the
United States was 152, being less than in
the previous year. There were 254 per-
sons killed and 261 injured in them,
however, and the number is much larger
than it should be. Fifty six Of the ex-
plosions took place in sawmills, where
the so-called engineer finds too facile
fuel in shavings. Men chosen for such
positions should have the gumption to
perceive that such firing generates
steam too rapidly for safety. These
people can reduce the general death rate

FOR THE FARM AND HOME.


The soil taken from the bitches may
be spread upon the adjoining land or
II may be put in heaps, and after being
dried and exposed to the frosts of one
winter will be good material for put
ting into the yards. Yet it is doubt
full whether it is better than dry earth
for this purpose, or enough better to
pay for drawing far, What is desired
is to have material to absorb the liquid
manure, but it is not necessary that it
should hold all the liquid any longer
than until the valuable salts which it
contains have been taken up. For
this reason the earth may be better
than even the dryest and most absorb
ent peat, Opinions differ as to the
amount of earth which it will pay to
use in the yards and barn cellar. but
1t Is safe to allow at least one load to
each animal, and if much water is al
lowed to run in from outside even
more may be necessary.

Farm a nd Garden Notes.


Do not neglect to soak butter tubs in
brine before packing down butter in
them.
Sheep ought to be well fed and cared
for now, as the fall is the best time for
wool growing.
Farmers who have used oil barrels
for building culverts say these work
well. The plan is to place them end
to end and cover well with dirt.
Remember that the hearing of a
horse is acute, hence the louder one
yells at an animal the more difficult
that animal will prove TO manage.
One recipe for making walk that
will prove firm and smooth in both wet
and dry weather, consists in mixing
Portland cement one part, ashes two
parts; make into mortar quickly and
spread on the path and smooth over

are poisonous 10 them.
But few farmers know the relative
values of the feeding stuffs they buy,
OF the composition of the manure used.
And yet the thoroughly practical far
mer should possess such knowledge, as
much as may he possible, in order to
better enable him to conduct his bust

at the least expense.
Ploughs that stand over night in the
field will rust. If they cannot be
carried to the barn draw them out of
the ground and leave them standing
If a plough is laid on its side the beam
is liable t, become warped. When the
season is over and the tools are no
longer required, they should be painted
and carefully stored away.
1t does not depend altogether upon
the amount of food eaten by the COW
how much milk OF butter she may
give, but upon her powers of diges-
ton and assimilation. Some cows give
good yields on small quantities of food,
while others that eat greedily barely
pay expenses.
If turnips are fed to cows imme-
diately after milking they will give no
unpleasant flavor t. the milk. The
food is eaten, digested and passed off
before the bulk of the milk is secreted

BOYCOIIlNG IN IRELAND,
Defended by Thomas sexton Lam
Owners Form "a Defence Union.


Owners Form Defence Union.
Speaking IN Dublin recently Mr. Thomas
Sexton, NJ. T., suid "lhe day may come
when England will be willing TO follow the
example Of Germany and refer to The arbitra'
ton OF the Pope the dispute between her,oll
and Ireland The quarrel, which has now
lasted for 700 years, wlll last until tho duy OF
Judgment, unless it is settled in accordance
with Justice and with tho desires and rights of
Irishmen, Boycoiting is now denounced in
England, but Englnd's friends in Ireland
have encouraged il in keeping tho Nationalist
from every public post and in dealing with
only anti.Irish dealers, Boycotting is found
wrong only when it is used as an operation OF
Of Irish public opinion, against which no Eng
lish brute force can prevail"
The result OF the recent meeting of land
owners in Cork has been the establishment Of
an organization called tho Cork Defence
Union. The president is the Earl Of Banjon,
and the vice.presdent Viscount Donenile.
Their constitution asserts that this union is to be
non.sectarian and non.politcal; that it Is to
unite all friends Of law and order of all classes
for mutual defence and protection against the
tyranny now exercised over many persons by
the Irish National League; that it is to assist
and support all land owners, merchants, farm
ere, shopkeepers, artisans and laborers, who,
by asserting their lawful rights, have incurred
the censure of the national league, and have
been boycotted by it; that 1t is to assist any
boycotted persons who may require aid
in selling their their farm products or
goods, to furnish them with supplies when
necessary, md to establish the agencies re-
quisite for those purposes. This it will do by
co-opemtion among the members to enable the
boycotted persons to carry on their respective
occupations and trades, oil the members being
pledged to afford to one another mutual assis-
lance and protection. Finally, tho union,
when desirable, is to work in concert with
other associations in other parts Of ireland
having the same objects in view.
1t is acertained positively that there Is as
yet no truth in the rumors that any steam
packet or railway company at Cork or else
where has refused to carry boycotted goods or
merchandise or supplies TO boycotted persons.

The Importance of lime as plant
food, to be supplied by its use as a
fertilizer, may be perceived by the fol-
lowing figures: In 25 bushels of oats
there are 9 pounds of lime; in 3S bush
els of barley, Is pounds; in two tons
of clover hay, IS pounds; in Is tons
of turnips, 140 pounds; in $50 bushels
of potatoes, 270 pounds. There are
soils which may be found to contain
considerable proportion of lime by an
alysis, but the lime is insoluble and
inert, or it is mixed up in combina-
tion with other minerals as with silica,
alumina, ETC., and is therefore not
within the reach of the roots of plants.
There are also soils that are almost
free fro lime in any form. An &C.
casional application of lime in caus-
tic or soluble condition is therefore
extremely useful, not only to soils that
contain no lime, but also in most
cases even to those commonly called
limestone soils-NeoO York Times.

The London Times Paris correspondent says
"Owing to the number of cabinet ministers de-
feated at the elections on Sunday last for seats
in the Chamber of Deputies, it will be neces-
sary for the cabinet to resign from office before
the Chambers meet. If tho Radicals ally
themselves with the members OF the Right
they can overthrow ministry after ministry,
leaving France in a permanent crisis, which
will seriously jeopardize the existence of the
