NATIVE ferns are of easy culture and
a bed of them, when once established,
requires less care than other plants.
Give them shady cool, moist location in
the garden. Ferns must have moisture,
and while they grow in sunlight will
thrive still better without.

was so much interested in an arti-
Gle of yours printed last May in regard
to increasing the value of manures
that l wish to make inquiry in regard
to certain points connected with it, l.
Would it be proper to mix the ashes
and other ingredients with the manure
as it is removed from the stable to the
manure cellar daily through the winter?
If so, one would need less of other alb
sorbents. 2. Which would you advise
to be used, the plain superphosphate or
the South Carolina rock ground? 3.
Where can each be procured at the
best rates?
l think l have taken this in hand
early enough so there will be ample
time to reply IN season for fitting our
winters stock of manure for another
spring. We sometimes write hoping
to see our article in the next weeks
issue, and it fails to appear before it is
out of season. This would not seem
quite as bad if the date of the item was
given, but it is still worse when the
date is changed, as has sometimes been
done in articles l have furnished for
publication in certain paper.

REPLY BY AGRICULTURAL EDITOR.-
l.. Yes, it would be quite proper to mix
in ashes, plaster, ground bone or min
eral phosphates with manure daily, as
newfoundland being taken, in the
case of ashes, that it should be perfectly
cold and free from fire. 2. This would
depend in some degree upon how freely
we used manure upon the land. If
circumstances required us to make a
little manure 60 great way, we should
perhaps use the plain superphosphate,
and the same if there were only to be a
short time between making the mixture
and applying it to the land Yet, as a
double weight of " floats" can be had
for the price of plain superphosphate
and as double weight contains -four
times the quantity of phosphoric acid
it is plainly economy to use the in,
soluble " form in equal moneys worth
when there is time (say two or three
months) for the animal manure to ex.
ert its solvent action upon it. In that
time the plain superphosphate and the
"hoats' would reach about the SAINT
degree of solubility, the former losing
and the latter gaining in that respect
3. Most dealers in fertilizers, or fertil
izer agents, will supply these materials
if ordered so that they can come in the
same cars with their stock of super
phosphate. Bowker & Co. advertise tC

A Great Victory
A Terrible Case Of Scrofula
Cured by
Hoods SarsapariIIa

"In the winter Of 1879 was attacked with
Scrofula in one of the most aggravating forms.
At one time had no less than thirteen large
assesses over and around my neck and throat,
continually exuding an offensive mass of
bloody matter disgusting to behold, and
almost ntolerable to endure. 1t is impossible
to fully describe my sufferings, as the case
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After
three years of misery, having been treated by
three physicians, l was worse than ever.
Finally, on the recommendation of w. j.
Huntey, druggist, of Lockport was induced
to try Hoods Sarsaparlla. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
twelve months the scrofulous eruptions have
entirely ceased, and the assesses have all
disappeared, except the unsightly scars, which
are daily becoming smaller by degrees, and
beautifully less / do not know what 1t may
have done for others, but ! do know that in

dertaking will be about 300,000,000 marks, (75,O00,000.l But the state will only lose 10 per cent. of this loss which is made necessary by tho exigen- cies of the case, buying out an alien class and re-selling to Germans, while the gain to the empire would be i'm measurable. The government. saiu the chancellor with great animation, will never concede the restoration iof Poland, or hairs breadth in that direction, The Poles played a suspic- ious part at Kurlturcamp. To the insinuation that the governments re- ligious rrejudices had borught its influence in its treatment of the Poles, Bismarck said: Religion is in no way connected with the expulsion. As the policy of kindness failed, it became necessary to reduce the Polish element in Germany and increase the German element. This is the real reason for the expulsion and tke government has determined to perSist in this work, despite the opposition of the reich stag. In conclusion I will say that before allowing the fatherland to be endangered, I would counsel the en- peror to make the federal government independent of the obstructioniSts now in Sthe reichst&g as far as the constitution and laws would permit, for would hold any minister to be coward who should hesitate to stake everything to save his fatherland from danger,
 The chancellor'E speech is the general topic of conversation in the capital. It is generally conceded that the speech is equally capable of being interpreted to foreshadow either the dissolution of the reichstag OF a coup d etat.

BisInarck's Speech.

BERLIN. Jan. 29.-Prince Bismarck to-day in debate in the German reichstag OR the expulsion of the Poles from Germany, made 8 remarkable speech, occupying two hours in deliv- cry. He said that the primary cause of the governments action was dis loyalty of the Poles to the German crown; that thoy were constantly en- gagged in intrigues against the govern .ment. and have been the most steady opposers to Prussia by acting as ac- complices. Whosoevsr refuses to protect and maintain shall not be entitled to claim anything from the state. AS for me, I am ready to save my country, although it cost my head and honor. If anybody dares attack Prussia's frontier, shall say like Gladstone, "hands of. Referring to the opposition in the German parlia- nent he said they effected majority against the government, and the crown could do nothing else than deny them Srch majority to destroy the evil element which made the majority pos sible. The Polish agitation in Ger many, Bismarck said, always appeared to him an element of danger, and had compelled them to keep their eyes upon Russia. The Poles had been constantly, and not always unoficialIv

Pressure Of the Sea.

It is often asked, when an ocean
going vessel has been lost at sea, and
it is supposed she has foundered. why
none of her timbers rise to the surface
again and float, as submerged wood
will nearer shore. The explanation is
that If the vessel has been sunk in deep
water the pressure to which it is sub
jected will be 50 great that q certain
quantity of water will be forced into
the pores of the wood, and thus render
it SO heavy that even.when detached

"What is the difference between q
Brazilian and an African diamondp"
1.-The specific gravity of a Brazilian
diamond is greater than that of an Afri-
can diamond, and hence the former
will weigh more. The Brazilian is al
so much more brittle and difficult to
cut. They have more brilliancy and
more specks in them than African
gems, and as brilliancy is one of the
requisites to create value, the Brazil
ians are generally the best. The shades
OF most of the Brazilian stones are blue
and steel color. The Africans are gen.
orally white and yellow. More than
one-haf of the diamonds sold come
from Africa. In 1869 diamonds reached
the highwater mark in prices, and have
declined in value from fifty to one hum
bred per cent. This fact is due, Of
course, to the extensive fields discov.
cred in the Transvaal country. Europe
of course, receives by far the greater
number of diamonds."-M Y. Mail and
