FACTS WORTH REMEMBERING.-1t is
worth while for all farmers, everywhere, to
remember that thorough culture is better
than three mortgages on their farms.
That an offensive war against weeds is five
times less expensive than defensive one.
That good fences always pay better than
lawsuits with neighbors.
That hay is good deal cheaper made in the
summer than bought in the winter.
That horse which lays his ears back and
looks lightning when any one approaches
him, is vicious. Don't buy him.
That scrimping the feed of fattening hogs
is waste of grain.
That over fed fowls won't lay eggs.
That educating children is money loaned
at hundred per cent.
That one evening spent at home in study
is more profitable than ten in lounging
about country taverns.
That tbs the duty of every farmer to take
some good, reliable agricultural paper, and
pay for it promptly.

AMMONIA FOR PLANTs.-I.ast year was
induced to try an experiment in chrysan-
themum growing, and for this purpose pur-
chased one pound of sulphate Of ammonia,
which 1 bottled and corked, as ammonia
evaporates very rapidly. l then selected
four plants from my collection, putting them
by themselves, gave them teasspoonful or
ammonia in gallon of water twice week:
In a fortnight's time the result was most
striking; for though I watered the others
with liquid COW manure, they looked lean
when compared with the ammonia watered
plants, whose leaves turned to very dark
green, which they carried to the edge of
the pots until the flowers were cut, AS a
matter of course the flowers were splendid.
The ammonia used is rather expensive, as
T bought it from chemists shop. This
year intend gettingagricultural ammonia,
which is much cheaper. / have also tried
it on strawberries with the same satisfactory
result, the crop being nearly double that of
the others. tits very powerful and requires
to be used with caution.-Lofdon Garden.

sH~ Wood ashes are tn. best of fertilizers
for the orchard. They contain all the re-
quired elements of plant nutrition, except
nitrogen. One hundred pounds of wood
ashes contain sixteen pounds of potash,
three and half pounds of soda, sixty-seven
pounds of lime and magnesia and five and
a quarter pounds of phosphoric acid, No
other fertilizer keeps fruit trees in so heal

PLowIN(i WET LAND.-The plowing of
wet land does a mischief which remains
for wears. The owner of stiff clay farm
VINO turned over a field in too much of a
hurry ten years ago has not since been able
to get the soil into the same condition it was
in before. When a plow-share becomes
smeared with mud as it turns the furrow
slice, and the earth is plastered, as mortar
is when trowel is drawn over it, clay land
becomes spoiled for many years. Even
light land is hurt by it, but the clay is
toughened and dries in hard clods which
are very difficult to reduce to fine condition
again. One may easily make haste too fast
in blowing in the spring. The test of fit
ness in the soil is that a spade may be put
into it and withdrawn without any smear
ing, and the spadefull of soil when dropped
will fall apart into a loose mass.

SAVING MANURE.-Around many farms
there are piles of leaves blown into the
fence corners, into the bitches, and every
other place about the premises. These
should be hauled into the hog, cow or horse
lot to be trampled and rotted, or dumped
into apt, wet and lined, for the same ,pur-
pose. All the rich surface soil washed by
the rains into the same fence corners, sweep
ings from the backyard, the waste about the
hen roost, pig sty, kitchen sink and other
places, should be gathered up and piled for
use in the garden, orchard or vineyard.
Where cultivation is close around the prem
ises this is an easy job, and will make an
astonishing improvement in the soil.

OBEDIENcE.-Prompta and reverent obe-
dience is an excellent feature in child's
character. Some children spend more time
in grumblng and fretting W hen told to do
particular work than in doing it. The
grumbling boy growsup to be disagrecable
man.

seg- THE Chemist says that if a little chlor-
ide of lime be sprinkled on the soil, rats,
mice and insects will soon desert it. Plants
may be easily protected by it from insect
plague by simply brushing over their stems
with solution of it. Fruit trees may be
guarded from their attacks by attaching to
the stems pieces of tow smeared with a
mixture of chloride of lime and hogs lard.
Ants and grubs already in possession will
then rapidly vacate their position.

In THE SICK ROOM.-The controversy as
to keeping live plants in a room at night
continues to be carried on with vigOr and
acrimony, although most people have prob
ably supposed that it was long since set at
rest. At a medical conference recently held
in France, it was demonstrated to the salts
faction of all the savants there present that
plants, as long as they are plants only, may
safely, and even with advantage, be admit
ted to the elysium from which they have so
often been eXied. These pretty ornaments,
as a learned writer now declares, ''far from
being hurtful, are beneficial, inasmuch as
they exhale a certain amount of ozone and
vapor, which maintain healthy dampness
in the air, and, besides that, are destructive
of the microbes which promote consumptive
tendencies in human beings. 1t is only
flowers, and not the plants which bear them,
that do the damage. Ferns are innOcuOuS
roses and suntiowers are pernicious, at least
while they are in bloom"
TIE INDUSTRIOUS BEE.-NO wonder the
bee is such an indefatigable worker. Each
head of clover contains about sixty distinct
fiower-tubes, each of which contains por-
ton of sugar not exceeding the fiVe-hun-
dredth part of a grain. The proboscis OF
the bee must, therefore, beinserted into five
hundred clOver-tubes before one grain of su-
gar can be obtained. There are seven thou
sand grains in pound, and, as honey con-
tains three-fourths of its weight of dry su-
gar, each pound of honey represents two
billion, five hundred thousand clover-tubes
sucked by bees.

DON'T L1TIGATE.-Hon. S. w Brown, a
prominent lawyer of Warren county, Ohio,
in an address to farmers recently, gave the
following advice on litigation. 1t will suit
our Grange readers exactly. He said: If a
wasting contest in court between two busl-
ness men, two traders or two spectators,
is to be deplored, how much more to be pre-
vented, if it be within the range OF effort to
do so, is a lawsuit between two farmers
two farmers who array their neighborh0od
into hostile factions, who turn their golden
sheen of peaceful sunlight into angry light
ming over dispute whether line fence
should stand five feet this way or five feet
that, who 60 down to the county court in
battle array over the course of little creek,
which is dry one-third of the year, frozen
up another third, and which has hardly
enough water in it the remaining third TO
turn boys toy wheel; who come to the
county temple of justice with their respect
i've cohorts of witnesses, and spend whole
days, under the generalship of costly law
yers, to get decision, about as apt to be
wrong as right, whether cow committed
trespass, when allshe destroyed is not equal
to the fee Of the lawyer on one side, and
she herself perhaps not worth half the fee
that will be paid to the lawyer on the other
side. How much better than this it would
be, simply in the consideration Of dollars
and cents-Whether you spell this last word
cents or sense-ifOne of those farmers would
cut up an acre of corn in addition to the one
destroyed, and haul it over and present it as
a gift to his favorite lawyer, and if the other
would fatten the COW, and skin and dress
her nice and clean, and dump her down as a
free offering in the kitchen of his favorite
lawyer-and have no lawsuit.

WHAT 1 SPONGE Is.-"It is only the
skeleton of a sponge that is commonly
used in removing dirt" Prof. Bickmore
says. "a substance that in the animal
sponge is analogous to the finger nails of the
human hand. The sponges are found in
various portions of the world, gathered in
masses below the surface of the water. The
youthful sponge first makes its appearance
on the outer border of the adult in the
form of cell which gradually increases in
size and complexity untilit bursts through
the maternal tissue and floats at freedom
through the ocean. 1t is very minute, and
for time has an independent life. 1t is
sowing its wild oats, so to speak, but as it
increases in size it attaches itself to itsamore
mature brothers and sisters and develops
with them into adult form. Sponges are
gathered by means of graphing hooks.
They are hOated to inclOsed portions of the
sea, where they are left until the exposure
of the sun and the wash of the sea leaves
nothing but the skeleton"

The far11 aud firesiae,

FERTIL1z1NG.-Wher the soil is known
to be poor, or scantily manured, a top-dress-
ing of phosphate, at the rate of 200 pounds
to the acre, will often increase the yield the
first season enough to pay the cost of it's ap-
plication. Wood ashes, at the rate of ten
or fifteen bushels to the acre, will produce
equally good results upon some soils, partic-
ularly such as need potash, and upon others
plaster gives alarge increase to the crop, but
more particularly of the clover crop.
The result obtained from plaster differs
greatly upon different soils, and no rule can
be given for determining where it will do
well and where it will not, yet, as a ton
(enough to top-dress ten acres can be bought
for 81 so, and in many locations for much
less, and as it can do no injury when used to
that extent, each farmer should try for him
self whether its use will be profitable to him
or not.
All topdressing of grass land, except such
as may be done with the nitrates or ammo
niacai salts, should be accomplished as early
in the spring as the grass begins to start, or
even before that time, but not while the
ground is frozen. Nitrate of soda, or those
fertilizers which contain it in considerable
quantities, give best results if used later in
the season.
The profit of buying fertilizers for top
dressing grass lands depends very much
upon the cost of breaking up and reseeding
the land, and the objections which there
may be to doing so. Fields have been kept
in grass many years by such topdressing
about one year in three or four, and have
paid fair interest on cost of land and fer
tilizer; but not every field will do this, and
where land can be broken up and reseeded
without more expense than the usual cost
of such work, it will usually pay best to let
on until tho fall and and then do the work
thoroughly.-New York Herald.

p9~ In certain family, which was in
rather poor circumstances, the arrival of q
wealthy aunt was expected. The aforesaid
aunt, by some accident or other, had lost a
portion of her nose. The children were re-
minded frequently not to make any refer
ence whatever to the defective nasal organ.
The wealthy aunt arrived but she had scarce
ly taken off her bonnet when the littlest kid
in the flock exclaimed: "Papa, you told US
not to say anything about aunt's nose. Why,
she hasn't cot any nose at ail.'
