1t is said that timber cut in spring con-
tains eight tsn.es as much phosphoric
acid and five times as much potassium as
that cut In the winter. IL anything like
this is the condition of that cut later in
the summer, andit the presence of these
elements renders the wood much more
liable 30 decayLand this appears to be
pretty well estabrshed-the logging rail-
roads, which 1t was believed would rem
der it practicablepto push lumber more
vigorously in the summer than in the
winter, may not prove the bonanza which
it was hoped they would.
A German patent, taken out by Nj.

In the copper Is YOlatlzed as chloride.
Also all other impurities which may be
present as oxides, or as metals which de-
compose vapOr OF hydrochlOrie acid at

Kragero, in Norway. 1t is a maleabe
metal, of white color, with a tiuge of
brown; it presents, when pure, metallic
lustre, but on exposure to the atmosphere
becomes clated with thin film of oxide;
its hardness is about that of copper, and
It's specific gravity is 4441. At $50 deg.

and chemical reaction 1t appears TO differ
from every other known metal, and DIR.

w. A. Strothy, Of Virginia, tells how to
save and plant strawberry seed as fol-
lows: Procure some good blotting paper !;
mash your berries on this paper; the
juice will be absorbed, and the pulp and
seeds will remain on the surface of the
paper. Place the paper in dry, sunny
place, and in ten or twelve days your
seeds will be perfectly dry and ripe.
Then SOW them very shallow, in a nicely
prepared bed, which must be watered
every day. In from two to four weeks
your plants will be up. They can then
be treated to some weak guano water or
other liquid manure, and as soon as large
enough can be transplanted.

"A little more than forty years ago"
says j. b. Lawes, mineral manures
came largely into use in this country, and
although their failure as a manure for
grain crops was complete from the first,
their success when applied to other crops
was so decided that 1t might have led peo-
pie to accept without hesitation the re-
suits of the experiments as establishing
the atmospheric source OF the nitrogen.
The large increase, both of root crops
which followed the application of mineral
phosphates, and of leguminOus crops
where plasters or salts OF potash were
applied, appeared to leave nothing to be
desired. The exhausting cereals required
a supply of nitrogen, and the broad
leaved roots ana leguminous crops were
there TO collect it from the atmosphere;
while it remained for M. Vile to lake the
discovery that for these plants to obtain a
tull atmospheric supply, the soil must be
furnished with just enough nitrogen to
enable them to develope their long leaves.

RUINED BY DELUGE.
KANSAS CROPS REDUCED TO A NOMINAL GUAM
TITY.

PAoLA, Kas, July 5.-Auother heavy rain
storm visited this vicinity last night, ~continu-
ing all through to-day. 1t seems general
throughout eastern Kansas and Western Mis-.
souri,, and this is the sixth day of almost con-
tlnuous cold rains. The work of gathering
the wheat crop is brought to acomplete stand
still. Wheat in the STAG s has been ruined,
and the estimates place the loss in Kansas
alone at 1,0O0. COO bushels besides the damage
to grain yet in the fields. Corn will prob.
ably sustain little injury, but is backward
twenty days as compared with
Tim latest season for twenty yeara.
The state boards last estimate of 10, 900. 900
bushels of wheat was based on alleged i'm
provement IN southeastern Kansas which
was expected to Offset the disasters in the
great wheat belt of the center. This estimate
took no account of the weeks storm and
immense damage to stacked wheat. In the
more favorable locality further west there ia
no wheat to be injured by the storms or any
thing else.
Fears are now entertained that potatoes
will rot IN the ground. Minor crops will
suffer in like ratio. 1t is not drouth, but toe
much rain and the cold that injure Kansas
this year.
The estimate of the wheat yield in Kansas
by Secretary Sims, of the s9ate board of agri.
culture, sent from Topeka Friday. was
10, 200, 600 bushels instead of II, 900, 900 as
published in all the papers. The mistake
occurred in transmission.

About two hundred police have been de
