Analysis of Land Plaster.

DR.. II. p. Armsby's recent bulletin
enforces the statement that land plaster
needs to be brought under the inspec-
ton of the experiment stations as well as
regular commercial fertilizers. OF the
three samples analysed, one contained
no plaster at all and fifty-eight per cent
of matter insoluble in acid, while plaster
is entirely soluble. Another contained
ninety-seven per cent and the other
seventy-six per cent of pure plaster. A
hundred pounds of pure plaster cost in
the first sample thirty-nine cents, and
tifty-four and one-half cents in the Sec
ond. This is a difference worth con.
sidering.

Grating on Crab Stocks.

Mr. Silas Richardson of Canaan,
Maine, writes us about his experience
in grating standard appl on crab
apple trees, and gives it as his opinion
that in nine hundred ninety-nine cases
out of a thousand it will be literal
failure, as sooner or later the cions will
break out or die. But he thinks that
those apples which are half crab-that
is, apples of standard size of fruit, the
trees of which spring from crab-apple
seeds fortified in the bloom with the
pollen of standard apples-usually do
well when grated on crab stocks. He
instances the Wealthy as one of the
apples which so succeed. He thinks
that the Mcintosh Red is also a crab
hybrid, and consequently will graft
well on crabs. AS the country has
been flooded with crab-apple trees by
the peddlers, and many do not know
what to do with them, these hints may
be valuable. Another very fine crab
hybrid is the Mortified Beauty, and
still another is Whitney's No. 20. These
constitute a short list of kinds which are
more likely than others to grow well
and succeed when grated in the tops
of otherwise useless crab-trees.

ShOppell's Modern Houses.

In a recent article we referred to this
publication as worthy the attention of
farmers and others who desired to build
houses for themselves which will be .:
once convenient, tasteful and cheaply
constructed. The second issue of Shop
pell's Modern Houses, under date of
April /, is more than equal to the jan
uary issue, which we noticed in our ar
ticle on " Handsome Houses" 1t con-
tains sixty-five designs formodern resi-
dences, with descriptions and reliable
cost estimates, ranging from $500 to
$4,000. These are prices near New
York city, and in Vermont may be dis
counted in most cases twenty-five or
thirty per cent. Indeed, we are now
building small house from one of
these plans which is there estimated to
cost 81 200, yet contractorhas offered
to take it for $3.50. We prefer doing it
by days work, though it will probably
cost $50 to 500 more. This publica-
ton is issued quarterly, and each issue
is sold for 81 by the Cooperative Build
ing Plan Association, 191 Broadway,
corner of Dey street, New York.

HANS can be sugar-cured either in a
tight or open vessel, the latter having
the preference. The hams should be
packed closely and the pickle poured
over them. If the vessel be an open
one, the loose cover should be weighted
to hold the meat under the pickle. For
pickle, use twenty-four pounds of salt,
three quarts of good sirup and twelve
ounces of saltpetre. This is sufficient
for three hundred pounds of hams, and
there should be water enough used in
making the pickle to fill the vessel.
For smaller amount, proportional
part of the above ingredients should
be used.

The Stolen Kiss.

When papa to the vineyard goes
To prune and keep the vines in rows,
He carries off a morning kiss
That's stolen from black.eyed miss.
When battle the vines in western sun,
Then papa takes the pathway home;
When surely him the maid will meet
with merry laugh and dancing feet
oh, where's the kiss you stole at morn?
of any sweetness is 1t shorn2
Oh no, she sees 1t on his lip,
And back again she snatches It..

HARRIET's way of washing dishes is
lust the plan for woman with large
family and no help. She washes them
in hot soap-suds, pours clean hot water
all over and over them, and then lays
them aslant on clean old folded table
cloth, which absorbs the drain, and
they are left fresh and dry and bright.
None but the cutlery is wiped dry.

REPLY.-These eXcrescences, which
grow upon Red Astrachan, Ben Davis
and several other varieties of apples,
are not a disease, but are swelling of
the branch which forms at the spot
where an apple grew the year before.
There is therefore nothing to be done
for them, and no need of doing any
thing.

and among others he called on Miss b.,
who was then a Mrs. H. When taking
his leave OF her he congratulated her
upon her health, success in life, etc, but
did not miss the opportunity to say in
subdued tone, "but you are not the
mother Of a President" Moral-Girls,
il you want your son to become the Pres
ident of the United States, don't go back
on your fellows. Ny informant, Mr. T..
p. Brainard, who is one Of the oldest in
habitants of this county, and who can
not be surpassed for hospitality and
kindness, presented me with an elegant
cane, which he had made himself from
piece of one Of the old vats belonging to
the tannery of the father of ex-Presi-
dent U. s. Grant The cane is as solid
as when the watts were put there, having
been under ground nearly seventy years.

very much, and am under many obliga-

CAPTAIN SAMUEL BRADY
Has become historical The Captain,
with few friends, had pursued a ma
rauding party Of Indians westward across
the Cuyahoga River but the red skins
being reinforced, turned upon Brady,
and seeing their superior numbers, he
ordered his men to retreat singly, as
their chances for life depended upon
their speed. The Indians knowing the
desperate character of Brady, and anx-
iOus to glut long-standingr revenge upon
him for punishments inflicted upon
them, pursued him alone Brady ran
for the narrowest point in the Cuyahoga,
now known as "Brady's Leap" with the
Indians close at lis heels. Arriving upon
the shelving rocks some twenty feet
above the rushing water, with one al
most superhuman leap he landed upon
the opposite shore, a distance Of twenty
one feet, not one of the athletec braves
daring the attempt of duplicating the
feat. After sending a volley of bullets
after him, one of which took effect in
his thigh, they were compelled to 60
nearly a mile below to cross the river.
Meantime the Captain made the best
headway his wounded limb wonld per-
nit, reached Lake Brady a mile and
half away in time to swim over and Sc
crete himself under a log in the lake,
and thus elude his enemies and save his
life. The Indians afterward were on the
log under which he was concealed in
their search for him.

JUST RIGHT.

Yes, Jack, 1 was glad to meet her,
After flirting with her some
And know she ne'er looked sweeter
Than the night saw her home.
All our arms were locked so neatly,
And her bright eyes were so gay
That we wanderd-lost completely
Full six blocks out Of our way.
Needless that the hour was late
Home at last we stopped to talk,
Lingering long down by the gate
Ere we started up the walk
Now, the walk was rather narrow
For two forms abreast to tread,
And, light-hearted as a sparrow,
Something like these words I said
"'Twas 80 thoughtful Of your papa,
That ds wide enough for .uo,
And 1 chanced just then to drop
Glance TO notice what she'd do.
All those eyes they twinkled while, sir
She leaned closer to my side,
Answering with a rogulsh SMILE sir,
eyes, indeed, and not too ride"
