something to do in excluding the bad
.fdvorS of the stable and house from
their butter.
A few words in regard to the expe-
riences of dairymen. No man, unless
he is educated to it, is qualified to make
! feeding tests that are of much value.
| There are such multitude of influence
ing circumstances and conditions to be
looked out for and controlled-there is
so much difference in feeds that go by
the same name, there is so much care
full and long-continued weighing and
computing to be done Gall liable to
error unless done with extreme care)-
before any reliable conclusions can be
arrived at that an unframed farmer is
no more qualified for the work than our
army at the first Bull Run was quail
fled to put down the great rebellion.
This is one reason why farmers now
need a much better education than
formerly, when the conditions of life
were simple, and God, knowing our
needs, had MANFRED our land fifty years
ahead for us. Now science rises up to
help US. Yet science can do us no
good unless we have the capacity to
take in the lessons of science and APP
ply them to practice on the farm. In
the near future the successful farmers
will be those who have prepared them
selves for their business by learning at
school the elements, at least, of those
sciences which are most directly related
to agriculture. The science of botany
Ito which you have yourself made val
liable contributions), the science of
chemistry (Which, studied in connec-
ton with another profession, has been
of even more use to us as a farmer),
the science of geology (without which
we can never rightly understand the
quality of our soils), the science of
meteorology (Which should replace the
unreliable weather-wisdom of our faith
ers), the science of physiology $50
necessary to the intelligent feeding and
breeding of our live-stock) these
sciences, together with that business
training which will enable us to know
and understand values, and the meth
DDS of trade, are needed to make up
the skilled farmer, who can make
farming pay as it can pay only the
qualified man in the business.
(D About the same temperature as in
summer, or perhaps trife warmer, if
it is convenient to make it so. We
think if water could be conveyed di-
rectly from the well or spring to a
drinking vessel in the stall or stable it
would be quite warm enough for the
health of the cows. We should not use
warm water, except perhaps for sick
COWS.
CO. We need some more conclusive
evidence than anybody's say-so before
we are called upon to go to any ex-
pense to warm water for cows in win
ter. 1t does not hurt human beings to
drink cold water in warm room; nor
will it hurt COWS to drink water at the
of the well or spring in a
warm stable. But ice-cold water is
hurtful alike to man and beast.

Training Children.
BY ROSE MEREDITH D..

Train the children to be useful, even
IL the little feet often grow weary.
they become so with the endless rounds
of play, and nothing is thought of that.
But if there is a kindly office to be done
little lift here or there. a simple act
OF courtesy, even-many mothers will
say, " Poor child, he is so tired. I do
not think John is very strong, do you?n
And the selfish little heart swallows it
all, and grows more and more greedy of
its own pleasures and more forgetful of
the wants and needs of those around
him. But if mothers only understood
how gigantic is this evil they are foster
ing in the child they would be horri-
fed. We think the best way to teach
children the Lords Prayer is to be Just
as kind, useful and courteous as they
can be to all around them, and at the
proper time they will of themselves
learn that beautiful prayer of prayers,
for the overlooking heart will have that
within that is able to receive and grasp
its meaning. Mothers cannot begin
too early to teach the boys to doff their
hats to an acquaintance, to remain with
heads uncovered in the presence of la
dies, to step aside, allowing ladies to en-
ter or leave a room first, and to remain
standing until they are seated. The
ease of bearing gained by early drilling
makes vast difference when boy is
ready to take his stand in the world, and
no after veneering will ever make the
real gentleman, for true courtesy is in
grain.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1886-12-22

ground raw bone has about four per
cent and ground steamed bone about
two per cent of nitrogen. 1t will thus
be seen that, theoretically, bone-black
and ground raw bone have about the
same value, and as the grease of raw
bone protects it from solution in the
soil much as the charcoal protects the
| bone-black, their value for direct appli-
cation may not be very different. But
by the use of wet ashes, mixed with
the raw bone, we can make the grease
soluble by converting it into soap,
while we have no means of dissolving
the charcoal of bone-black.
(3) If the agricultural potash salts
are meant, they are of no use whatever,
having lost the caustic property by union
with an acid. But even in its caustc
state potash is not comparable with sui
phuric acid as a solvent of the lime in
bones which limits the solubility of their
phosphoric acid. The potash salts
mixed with raw bone-mesl do not help
its solubility in the least. In this re-
spect unleached ashes has great adj
vantage, when mixed with the bone
and kept wet few weeks. But when
steamed bone or fine South Carolina
rock is used, the potash salts are as
good a source of potash for fertilizer
as ashes. Yet it should be remembered
that while the potash salts supply moth
ing of accepted value to the soil except
potash, unleached ashes supply consid-
cradle phosphoric acid.
(4 Commercial muriate of potash has
about fifty per cent and the sulphate
about fifty-fve per cent of potash Az
erage hardwood ashes (unleached) has
about eight per cent of potash and two
per cent of phosphoric acid. Pure corn
cob ashes has about siXty-fve per cent
of potash. We mention this to show how
greatly vegetable substances may vary
in potash, and to illustrate the fact that
while we may state averages they are
liable to great variation. Still, house
made hardwood ashes will rarely fall
below eight per cent of potash, and
may reach double that, or even more
from some wood. Beech ashes have been
found to contain fifteen per cent, elm
twenty-four per cent and linden GLASS;
WOODY over thirty-iive per cent of pot
ash. 1t has been a question whether
the potash of wood ashes might not be
more available from having already
constituted part of previously exist
ing plants; and also because of its COM
bination with carbonic acid rather than
with such strong mineral acids as those
of the salts. But this is all uncertain,
and can therefore be made no positive
element in the computation.

Fertilizer Questions.

Mr.. John O. Porter, Hardwick, VT,
makes the following inquiries O
How shall l make complete fertilizer
by using bone-black that will be as good
as the standard kinds now sold in Yer
mont? (2) How much better is pure
bone-dust than bone-back? GU Is COM
mercial potash as good as sulphuric acid
to cut bone-meal? (D What is the
value of potash salts compared with
good hard ashes?
REPLIES BY THE AGRICULTURAL Ed
1roR.-O BY decomposing the bone
black by the action of sulphurc acid;
then adding enough sulphate of ammo
MIA and muriate or sulphate of potash
to give the desired percentages of
nitrogen and potash. But when you
want a fertilizer made in this way it is
better to buy it. We have never adj
vised, and never shall advise, persons of
ineXperience to NEEDLE with the sui
phuric acid process for making fertil-
izers. That acid is dangerous, except
in the hands of trained operators, and
even then accidents more or less serious
occur. We regard bone-black, there
fore, as an undesirable substance for
farmers use as a source of phosphoric
acid. In the process of charring, the
organic matter of the bones is not de-
stroyed, but is converted into charcoal
very indestructible substance, which
protects the particles of bone from de-
cay in the soil. AS a material for
making an acid fertilizer comeback has
great value, but very much less value
for direct application to soil, because it
decompOses quite as slowly as fine
ground South Carolina rock, while cost
| ing more than twice as much for the
same content of phosphoric acid. Aver
age bone-black contains about the same
quantity of phosphoric acid as average
ground South Carolina rock, so that in
the matter of freight there is no choice,
while in solubility, according to our
own experience, the fine rock (hoats)
is preferable.
(2) Bone-black contains little or moth
ing of fertilizing value except its phos-
phoric acid, about twenty-siX per cent.
Pure bone-dust from raw bones con-
tains about twenty-five per cent, and
from steamed bones about thirty per
cent. (By "pure" in this case we
mean unauthorized. There is always
some dirt adherent to ordinary bones
which reduces the percentage of phos'
phoric acid below that in absolutely
pure bone. Even this is not fixed
