Story Of Great Interest to Progrsssivs-
as'f Agrlculturists.
The earth upon which we live il d.
vided into two classes of substances,
which are denominated organic and in
organic. The first class embraces all
such bodies as have resulted from life,
whether in the animal or vegetable
kingdoms. The second. all such bodies
as have not resulted from life, as well
as those remains of animal or vegeta-
BILE life as have been reverted by the pro-
cess of decomposition to q mineral
form. All plants are composed also of
two classes of substances-the first,
combustible and volatile, and which,
when subjected to certain degree Of
heat, disappears in an invisible or gas
eous state; the second, incombustible
and fixed, being the portion that re-
mains after being subjected to heat as
above indicated. These two are also
denominated organic and Inorganic;
organic, because those substances
which are vital to the growth and or
ganization of plants or animals are
largely combustible, and the bases are
incombustible. But in the complete
study of the organization of plants both
classes must be taken into considera-
ton, and it is only in comparatively
limited sense that any portion is called
inorganic for the reason of the very
small percentage of ash or inorganic
substance that remains after being con-
sumed. The organic and inorganic
parts can easily be distinguished from
each other in the following manner:
1. Fire destroys the organic, but can
have no effect upon the Inorganic.
2. The organic decompose under the
influence of warmth and moisture, but
the inorganic retain their distinctive
character.
5. Organic compounds can not be
made out of simple elements by the
processes of the laboratory, but chem
lists can form beautiful and complex
crystals out of inorganic material
The organic or volatile part of plants
constitutes very nearly ninety-live per
cent. of the whole, and is composed of
carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and nitro
gen, with small quantities of sulphur
and PHOSPHORUS. The Inorganic are
chiefly PHOSPHORUS, sulphur. silicon,
chlorine, potassium, sodium, calcium,
magnesium, iron and manganese, with
very small quantities of carbon, oxygen
and nitrogen. These constitute the
principal elements of any importance
in connection with agriculture, and
varies in the amount actually found in
plants according to age, season in
which they grow and the general char
acter OF the plant; but an approxima-
ton to general average is obtained by
an average of different estimates. Wolf
and Knop, who have done much for
agricultural science, from all the trust
worthy analyses of agricultural plants,
all air dried except the last, give the
following percentages:

The digcstibility Of cheese depends :
good deal. according to Klenze, on its
physical properties. All fat cheeses are
dissolved or digested with great rapidity.

arated only by the fat, and 80 the solvent
juice can attack large surface Of the
cheese IS one time. Whether.the cheese
be hard or soft does not appear to mat
ter. and there Is no connection between
the digostibility and the per centage Of
watcr present in the cheese. The degree
of ripcness and the amount of fat have.
however, considerable influence, for
both these conditions render the cheese
more friable. and so allow of intimate

MONSTER CANALS.


Two Enterprises of Astonishing Magni-
tude and Importance.
The proposed German canal which is
to connect the North Sea and the Baltic,
seems to have directed attention in
France to various schemes for connect
ing by canal the great Mediterranean
seaport Marseilles with the mouth of
the Rhone, thus completing inland
communication with Lyons, Paris,
Rouen and Havre. In 1881 the GEN.
ersl Council of the Department of the
Bouches du Rhone adopted a resolution
expressing approval. Of a scheme for a
canal which was to be carried through
a tunnel eight kilometres long. The
plan was. however, shown to be at
tended with many practical difficulties.
A proposal is now made by DR.. Louis
Combet. deputy mayor of Lyons, to
carry the canal from the port Of Mar
settles along the shore of the Mediter-
ranean to the mouth of the Rhone. Il
is asserted that the whole expense win
not exceed SO, 0O0. 900 francs, and that
the new waterway viii very materially
diminish the expense Of sending goods
by inland navigation from the Mediter-
ranesn to the English channel.-M r

The above table shows a complra-
lively uniform quantity of each of the
Ingredients. water, organic matter and
ash in the grasses, grains and seeds and
straw, of which the ash or inorganic
portion is small, as well as in the other
substances. Very much of the vola-
tile portion of plants. except the water
and ammonia, is derived directly from
the atmosphere. while the inorganic or
ash portion comes from the soil with
the water in solution. Prof. johnson,

A Scheme to Pay Taxes in Lawrence Co.

There have always been two advant-
ages freely offered by the county OF
Lawrence to the common citizen. He
has the privilege Of receiving pay for
services as juror, witness or laborer in
county warrants worth 60 cents on the
dollar, and he is earnestly requested to
pay taxes promptly in the current coin
of the realm. The county is nearly
bankrupt and calls for cash-hard cash
with which to maintain its hangers-on.
1t has occurred to the Record frequently
that a change in this "sure thing" game
would be beneficial in determining the
status Of the county credit. The case of
Virginia ome to mind. The state re-
pudiated its debts. Nevertheless the
tax collector put no check on his
rapacity. Certain parties who held
state bonds refused to pay taxes except
to make a tender Of coupons then due.
They were refused and SUIT brought.
Under the supreme court decision, as
applied by the attorney general, the
coupons of a state debt are a legal tender
for state taxes. That in a word is the
decision, and the attorney general saws
that the tax collector cannot refuse to
take a genuine coupon without subject
ing himself to penalties. the same as if
the tender was made in gold, silver
dollars or g~reenbacks. Certainly, SAYS
the court, a state cannot be made de-
PENDANT in a lawsuit, but if it levies a
tax it cannot object to accepting one Of
lis own obligations in satisfaction of the
tax levy. Each is a debt, and one may
offset the other.
What is sauce for the goose should be
for the gander. If such a decision can
be made to apply to a state debt it GER
tainly ought to a county or municipal
debt. County warrants are az elaborate
evidences Of debt as coupon bonds, and
after some man has made a stand i'm
court we may all find that we have for
years paid taxes in dollars, when county
scrip at 80 cents would have answered
as well.-Sturgis Record.

plant against a joker in the neighbor-
hood whom he supposed to be the owner

character of my dog ! shall prove that
nothing could make him so forgetful of
his canine dignity as to bite a calf. 2.
He is blind, and can not see to bite. 3.

utterly impossible for him to 60 cut of
his way to do so, on account Of his
