Origin of "Boots and Saddles. !"

Three or four years ago l accidentally
learned while at some French maneuvres
that the cavalry trumpet sound called
shoots and saddles" had not, as was sup
posed any connection whatever with
boots. The true origin of the sentence
is the old Norman expression, {" outel
la selie" q. e., ''put on the saddle''), from
"Bouter"-to put on, affix. Equally by
accident, at the German mannuvres just
finished / have ascertained the origin OF
our word of command, "double march. )"
We have in military matters copied much
from the Germans, especially during the
life of Frederick the Great, toward the
close of whose reign our drill began to
assume substance and uniformity. Well.
to this day, when German officer wishes
his men to proceed at a run he calls out
"Marsch, marschl" the two words being
uttered quickly. Thus, Double march,
is most literal translation of an old
established German word of command.

Wood Ashes.

Wood ashes contain, in a greater or
less degree, all the more essential Gle.
ments or substances which form the food
of plants, except ammonia, or rather all
those which are not abundantly supplied
by the atmosphere. The most abundant
of these are potash and earthly phos-
pilates. The quantity of these, however,
is very variable in the ashes of different
plants. Those produced by beech wood
contain about one-tifth part of phos-
pilates, while those of oak yield scarcely
any phosphates. The powerful effect of
wood ashes in promoting the growth of
clover of every kind is well known. In
Germany often no other manure is used
for grass lands. and by these they are
kept in the highest state of productive
ness. Considering how indispensable
they are to keep up the fertility of the
soil, they should be taken as much care
of as money, for they are certainly most
valuable.
The following table contains a state
ment of the quantity of potash contained
in some of the common trees and plants:

Squirrel Pie

Three young men of Charleston, Mo-,
killed twelve dozen squirrels in one day.
A large gray squirrel was captured
while swimming across the Patuxent
river in Maryland. This is said to be the
first squirrel ever seen swimming across a
broad body of water.
A trackman on the Grand Trunk rail-
way says an immense drove of squirrels
Gro .sed the tracks at Petrolia, Canada,
completely blocking them. A hand-car
which ran into the drove killed sixty

Richard Clancy, of Denton, Md, shot
a squirrel in the woods and threw it
across his shoulder. Samuel Anderson,
another sportsman, approached CLANCY
from behind, AID, seeing the squirrels
bushy tail, thought the animal was sit
ting on a stump. He fired his gun and
shot CLANCY in the neck.
A pet squirrel was taken sick and its
teeth grew so long that it could not
pnaw. 1t was taken to dentist, who
ground the teeth down TO their proper
length. During the operation the squir-
rel kicked like a mule, aud its shrieks
caused people to run up the street 10 find
out what was the matter.

FARM AND GARDEN.
A Tidy Dooryard.

A tidy dooryard, if it is clean and Dor
dered only by green grass smoothly cut
with lawn mower, is certificate of re-
speotability for the owner. And every
farmer may have this without money
and without price if he will only work
for it. The front yard may be plowed
and narrowed smoothly and sown with
timothy or ether grass and pay in the
produce for the mower and the weekly
moving. The fresh young grass will
keep q yard full of hens-if nothing
more-contented and happy and busy
laying eggs. Thus far only the neat
yard will be means of grace, so to
speak, to the farmer, for it will lead him
to further efforts at improvement. He
will soon be seen bringing in shade trees
and planting them in groups here and
there and cutting out flower borders and
beds, and his wife and daughters will
catch the infection and be helping him
with seeds and shrubs, and by and by
that dooryard will be pattern and an
example to the neighbors, who will fol-
low it, to the general improvement of the
neighborhood. York Times.

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 phos-
phate and carbonate of lime. The guam
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 Englandi it is the
practice to burn the stubble for the sake
of the benefit afforded to the succeeding
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 a practice of very doubtful
wisdom; and where the stubble is not
cut for litter, it must, when plowed
down, ultimately afford to the land all
that the ashes contain, and something
more. - Cutticotor.
Farm and Garden Notes.
Feed fallen fruit to the pigs and de-
stroy insect eggs.
The compost heap, if properly con-
structed and protected, is the farmers
bonanza.
There appears to be an increase of
swine in the Territories and on the Pa
.cifc coast.
The returns of the number of hogs for
fattening indicate about six per cent. r.
duction in numbers.
Keep barrel of I've convenient, and
into it drop all refuse bones. By and by
you will have an excellent fertilizer.
D. G. Briggs, of Maine, prefers, of his
experience In the matter, silo built of
wood to one built of stone or cement.
Fresh air-laked lime thrown about in
the vicinity of pig-styes and other places
likely to emit disagreeable odors, will
pay for the trouble.
Soft wooded plants should be placed
nearest the light in the window garden,
sad the hard or smooth-leayed plants
occupy the background.
The American Cultioator tells its read
ers To save all the feathers from chickens
and other fowls. Use the best for pill
lows, ETC., and put the others, which are

On many farms the pigs must be kent
in close pens all the summer. Such pigs
should have green food delivered to them
daily. Of course some grain is needed
in addition to the green food. Milk Is
also good.
J. A. Price, Scranton, Penn, advises
the employment Of coal waste, reduced
TO fine dust, in agriculture. He saws that
the application of this coal powder to

and stimulates plant life.

Starvation in a Great City.

"Thirty-seven is the number OF deaths
Ienorted in London for the year 1855 due
to starvation or privation,'" says The
81. Jn,nes's Gazette. 1T is lamentable;
and vet the wonder, perhaps, is that in
such city in such times the return is so
small. The victims were of all ages and
trades, and included bookkeepers, fish
hawkers, chimney sweeps, infants and a
parish beadle. II is to be feared that the
return is incomplete. Doubtless star

thirty-seven deaths; but as certain is ii
that they we're responsible for great
