mon tree; and plants:

The ashes produced from the leaves of
trees contain much more potash than
those of the twigs and branches and
those of the latter more than those of
the trunk of the tree; while the ashes of
the two latter contain the most nhos-
p.hate and carbonate of lime. The auan-
tity of potash in the leaves varies very
much with the season of the year, being
greatest in the spring and least in the
autumn.
In some parts of England. it is the
practice to burn the stubble for the sake
OF the benefit afforded to the succeedino
crop by the ashes, and it is a very com.
mon practice upon the Continent. Con-
sidering the value of straw for litter.
this must be q practice of very doubtful
wisdom; and where the stubblc is not
cut Tor litter, it must. when .plowcd
down, ultimately afford to the land all
that the ashes contain, and something

A Sumptu0us Smoking Room.

A Russian millionaire has recently had
built for him in St: Pete sburg a most
sumptuous smoking room. which is tho
astonishment of all the Northern cap. tai.
Its richnt IS consists not so much in its
furniture, which is a model OF simplicity,
but In it's walls. These are literally
lined with European bank notes. In.
stead OF tn mass of white ceiling which
forms the desperation of disciples of
William Norris is seen a profusion OF
Australian notes most artistically grouned
round a blue ten-iorin note. Charming
designs composed of French, English,
Italian and Russian bank notes adorn
the walls. This Curious room has re-
ceived many famous visitors from all
points OF the compass. Among others a
celebrated Hungarian painter was intro
duced. He glanced up at the eccentric
millionaire and said with q smile: s.Sir,
it is q pity you have already thus dis
posed of your money, for, for the same
amount, I would willingly have deco
rated your walls-perhaps more arts
tically, indeed, than is now tho case
by covering them with paintings, even
as Michael Angelo did for his Holiness
Pope Julius H."

Girls are accustomed to regard
cooking as a very difficult science
Some, however, think they car
consult q cookbook when the time
comes, read the receipts aloud to
the four-barreI, read them again
to the lard pail, and that the sever
al ingredients will see tho force Of
the suggestions and immediately
proceed TO rally themselves into
something TO tickle the palate,
They do not consider cooking q
high art, that it requires patience
They had rather sit at the piano
and strum Tor hours at a piece that
thoy almost know they never shall
be able to play before folks. They
will spend days and weeks on
some worsted work, while every.
body in the house, themselves in
cluded, are groanng with dyspep-
STA, superinduced by bad cooking.
Music, painting, worsted work,
crazy quilts, are ali very well, but
the fact remains that we have
stomachs, and also that what we
put into them has a great deal to
do with their health. In acquiring
good education one must under
stand the elements, We must have
a base, not pyramid built on its
apex. Our girls should possess a
sound, practical education; that
acquired, then the accomplish
ments may be added.-Uxbrldge

PAY YOUR DEBTS.

One of the most serious draw.
backs to any agricultural country
is debt. 1t effects individual in
terest and the general public wei.
fare and no country in debt can
hope for the unmixed blessings OF
prosperity. The next best thing
to being ont OF debt is to pay out,
and the sooner it is done the bet
ter for all concerned.
The cotton crop is fair this sea-
son and usually in good crop
year money is spent freely before
being appropriated for payment
of debts, thinking that there is
behind, and paper not matured.
1t is always best to apply the crops
as realized upon the extinguish-
ment of debts, and then use the
surplus in supply tho extra needs
and comforts of home life.
This is one OF the best countries,
in most respects, under the sun.
There is not month in the year
that some green crop cannot be
grown; and crops are cultivated
and harvested with as little labor
as anywhere. No land of any seq
ton yields better results under an
intelligent system of cultivation.
Economy Is one solution of the
problem of success, and its practice
is forced upon US all. To properly
economist, we must not be forced
to pay a large per cent. either for
money or goods. How is this to
be avoided2 By paying old debts
and avoid making new ones as far
as possible, and by discharging
them as soon as practicable. In
this way a few years would find our
farmers almost entirely out of debt
out of debt, and then their farm
expenses will not be near so large,
because the credit system begets
extravaganza which we indulge un-
consciously. Cash paid for all
goods is q constant reminder of
how fast 1t can go. This is a fine
country inhabited by noble, gener-
GUS and intelligent citizens, and
the day of their delIveranco from
the oppression of debt we hope, is
near at hand.-News and Adver-
tiser.

ANEW CURE FOE HOG cHoLERA.


The last number of the Swine
Breeders Journal contains a reno
dy for the cure of the hog cholera
that has been tested nearly ten
years, but yet just published. 1t
is endorsed by the Kelvcr Bros,
of Bloomingburg, Ohio, a brother
of DR.. Salmon, v. S., ofthe United
States Agricultural Department,
l.. Erwin Parrett and other cello
brated Ohio breeders, as we'll as
recommended editorially for trial,
which Is the first time We remem-
ber that the editors has sanctioned
or recommended anything as a
cure or preventative for cholera.
This medicine being SO cheap and
coming so highly recommended we
immediately bought five ounces
for twenty-five cents and gavc it to
w. L. DoIano to test in his herd.
Ho had lost thIrty-five out of one
hundred, and anxiously seized
hold of anything that came so well
recommended. Besides being an
Intelligent breeder of hogs we felt
that he would mako fair trial.
Tho writer, J. NJ. Allen, of Wash
ington, G. H., Ohio, has been fami-
liar with the cholera since the year
1S47, and out OF los hogs during
nearly a year has fed seven pound
bottles of sulpurous acid and lost
three hogs. He feeds it in bran
and meal mixed half. "Take n
common wooden bucket filled with
bran and meal to about two inches
of the top. Take half-gallon cup
nearly full of water; pour about
one ounce of sulphurous acid in the
water and pour the solution in the
bucket of bran and meal. Stir till
the mixture absorbs the solution,
which will only dampen it. Then
pour in little piles on the ground
in a clean place. This will be a
dose for twenty hogs. Give one
ounce a day until clear of the dis
ease. After giving three or four
doses move the hogs to another
lot or field if you can. The acid
may be in slop as well as in the
way described above. hope any
farmer seeing this article, and hav-
ing sick hogs, will give sulphurous
acid a trial. 1t will do the work.
