WRITTEN HOLIDAY TRIBUNE
Once again, have the bells, with their svery tone,
Peaed slowly, knell for the year that is flown
There is Of regret, for the one lying cold,
Than joy, at the thought Of what others may hold
This one knew plans, dreams unfulflled
And tho it was best, all was not as we willed
But forgetting ourselves, let glance quickly back,
Der the changes the old year has left, in his track.

The voice of the coyote was heard in the land;
Where the swift engine shrieks speeds down the rail-

Though dangers thick, the home station remote

like roots from it. In such cases the
shoot will usually start from the eye be-
low the surface. Where the first eye
starts and grows the one below it grows
also. In the fall or or next spring one Of
these sprouts must be cut off, and the
other trimmed down to single eye. By
this method farmers and others can east
ly and cheaply supply themselves with as
many grape vines as they wish, and of
the best varieties. Four-ffths of the
grape vine growth of the previous season
must be cut off this fall or next spring,
and it can usually be had for nothing. A
few very hard-wooded and close-jointed
grape vines do not root easily. Eumelan
and Delaware are samples of these; but
it is only necessary to take little longer
cutting and plant it at an an angle of 45
degrees in the ground. This will keep
the bottom of the cutting within reach of
the air and warmth. No manure is neces-
sary; in fact, it is positively hurtful. It's
heating forces the buds too rapidly, nd
may cause the bottom of the cutting to
rot, instead of putting forth roots.

Inert Matter in the Soil.
Philadelphia Record.

The soil may be rich and fertile, yet
incapable of supplying sutficlency of
plant food to crops unless certain chem
zeal changes that render the inert sub
stances soluble and available. Such mat
ter is in a condition unfit for the pur-
poses desired, until it undergOes change
of form, which can only be done by bring
ing it in contact with agents that Oper-
ate upon it so as not only to disintegrate
it but to chemically change its compost
ton in various ways. The most plentiful
material is silica, which is largely used by
plants, but which is very insOluble and
not easily rendered available as food.
The potash, lime, soda and other alkaline
minerals act upon it and assist in its re-
duction, and the roots of plants no doubt
exert mechanical effect upon it. But
silica is the material of which the bony
structure of plants is principally cOmpos-
ed, and must be appropriated in some
manner. As it exists in the soil, however
it must always be made to undergo a
change before the plants can use it.
All soils contain more Or less materials
that only require the heat, air and water
to render them serviceable, and hence fire.
quent cultivation causes particles to be
changed by exposing the materials to the
action of such elements, for there are in
the soil phosphates, silicates, potash, lime
soda, magnesia, iron and vegetable and
mineral acids, which often react upon
each other when some foreign agent is in
PRODUCED for that purpose. When we dis
place any of these substances from their
combinations we bring them into a new
condition, as is done when a stronger
acid displaces one that is weaker, and as
the displaced substances always seeks a
new combination, the process does not
end until great many of the elements
that were inert and tempOrily useless are
completely changed and brought within
the range Of plants.
There are mines of wealth in the soil,
but the wealth must be obtained with Ia
Dor, and it is for the farmer to remove
the obstacles that prevent him from OBJ
tanning it. Nature will render her assist
ance if conditions are made favorable.
The pulverizing of the soil, is done thor
ouhIy, allows the air, heat and moisture
to operate upon it, and every shOvelful
of manure or pound of fertilizer applied
will act as assistants. The growing of
the crops and the constant restoration
of matter that has been removed allows
the process of disintegration to become
constant, and the soil is gradually en-
riched by the giving off of the former
particles of inert matter as plant-food,
for, as it is appropriated annually by the
crop, every season witnesses a larger
portion of available material. Thus by
thorough cultivation the soil is changed
in chemical composition, and becomes
more fitted and adapted to the growth of
plants, while the application of manure
serves to prevent loss and exhaus-
ton.

Natures Secret.

Where the diamond comes from nobody
knows. You can no more predict the ex-
istence of diamonds than you can the ex-
istence of genius, though, to be sure, all
diamond fields to certain extent resemble
each other; and all, borrowing as they do
their light from the sun, are found only
in warm climates. says a writer in the
Cornhill for August. Nor can you tell
where the diamond goes on combustion.
Burn it, and it leaves no ash, the flame
is exterior, like that ofthecork, and when
it has burned itself out there remains not
even so much as would dust the antenna
of butterfly. If a man has his myster-
les, his strange conversions, his going in
a sinner, his coming out saint; SO, too,
has nature. The philosophers stone is
chimney-sweep is covered with that which
under happier auspices would be jewels.
This mysterious crystalization places
between two bodies of the same nature a
greater difference than between bodies
differently composed. And yet not so
great mystery either, for every year a
process is discovered for making dia-
monds-only somehow the diamonds are
never made, or, at the best SO micros-
copic and at such an enormous expence
that they are absolutely useless, except to
gum on cards at the British Museum. In
France they say that solution of phos-
ute diamonds, but that these things are
better managed there than here has been
long allowed.

HOW DOLLS ARE MADE.
The Material Used in Their Construction.
Cassel'S Family Magazine


There is much that may be seen by a
visit to a doll factory that would have for
many people all the force of a revolution.
Few probably realize what a number of
processes are necessary before even the
tiniest of dolls is ready for the nursery.
There is certainly bewildering 2umber
of suitable substances. Besides the vari-
Gus kinds of wax, from the best English
to the commoner foreign sorts, there are
spermaceti and various kinds of compo-
sition, india-rubber, gutta-percha, wood
and rags, not to mention various judicious
combinations of these and other materials.
But the best dolls are made only of the
best English wax. Then come the compo-
sition dolls, which are more durable, and
some of which have their faces protected
by thin piece eff muslin, and so on
through the whole list. It is, however, the
waxen dolls that appeal most powerfully
to the affections and the admirations of
the girls of England.
The construction of the molds in which
these are made involves some knowledge
of modelling. The molds are made of
plaster of Paris, the various sections be-
ing deftly joined together with such
nicely as to leave but few marks of the
JULIUS. luUO Un1S Un0 uOIGGu WAX 10 pOuI-
ed while still very hot, and a thin film
Immediately adheres to the sides of the
mold, which is quickly inverted in order
that the molted wax in the center may
flow out. But although this rough mask
is fairly complete in point of outline,
much remains to be done before it can be
regarded as possessing those charms
which are commonly believed to be a
dolls rightful Inheritance. The rough
nesses have to be smoothed down; dis
tinctive character has to be given to the
mouth and nose, the eyebrows have to be
del1cately penciled in; and we may well
cease to wonder that Shakspeare's love
should have written an ode 'to his mis-
tress' eyebrows" when we see the wonder
full effect produced on the dolls face by
various arrangements of brow and lash.
Then the eyes, which are like beautiful
shells. although they can be bought by
the gross, of any color or size, have to be
fixed III, which is done by plastering them
at the back with a little soft wax. The
method of fastening the hair 90 as to give
it natural appearance, is one of the
best tests of the care with which a doll
has been made. In the best dolls almost
every straw is attached separately to the
wax itself, while in the cheaper kinds a
wig is Roughly stuck on the dolls head.
This is very important point, which
doll worshippers will properly appreciate

FARM NOTES.

Tobacco refuse is rich and quick act

sects.
The Iowa Legislature has refused to
compel contiguous to fence where both

Horses will go eight and probably ten
hours without food, if properly fed at
evening and morning. They should
have water more frequently, but never
when hot.
tuberculosis is now admitted to be
communicated through milk, and so is

Fall Flowing

While many recommend fall blowing
some condemn it, insisting that 1t is very
injurious, and both parties Will endeayOr
to prove that they are correct by giving
the results OF practical tests. The fact
is, both are right and also wrong, for
while it is best to pillow some land in the
autumn there are soils that should not be
turned over until a short time before
planting time; hence the difference of
opinion.
1t is a mistake to recommend the plOw-
ing of all soils in the fall, and it is also a
mistake to condemn blowing in this seas
on of the year. What we need to know
is what soil is improved and what injured
by fall blowing. A soil that is cold, hard
and lumpy, containing considerable guam
titles of clay, is improved by fall blowing,
because by turning the hard close soil up
and exposing it to the frosts of winter, it
is pulverized so that when spring
comes it is in much better condition to
plant than it would be if plOwed but a
few days before planting time; for a soil
of this character is full of water in the
spring, and when plowed it sticks togeth
er so hard that it is in no condition to
mingle with the manure applied. But
when exposed to the air and frost all win
ter, it becomes dryer, and easily breaks
in small particles so as to readily mix
with the manure, and thus plant food is
rapidly produced. Land like this will
sometimes produce nearly twice as much
plowed in the fall as it will if not plowed
until spring, providing that which Is
plowGd in the fall be pulVerized, before
planting with disk harrow.
A light and warm sandy soil is very
much injured by being plOwed in the
fall, because being composed of very
loose, fine material, every time the wind
blows, large quantities of it blows away,
and what is thus lost is the most valuable
portion of it; such soil, if not plowed I'M
til spring Just before planting time will
contain a considerable amount of plant
food that would have blown away had it
been plowed in the autumn, and the soil
being of a character that will readily
RningIe with the manure applied, it will
produce even better crops by blowing but
a few days before planting.
Rough, rocky or bushy land may be
plOwed in the fall to good advantage, be-
cause the farmer is not so busy as in the
spring, thus giving him more time to re-
move the rocks and roots that fill the
land. When the farmer believes his land
to be full of worms and grubs, by blowing
very late in the fall he will do something
toward killing them.
1t is well, every autumn, to carefully
consider and decide what fields would be
improved and what injured by fall plow-
ing, and all that are of character not to
be injured by it should be plowed, thus
helping along the spring work at season
when work is not as driving as in the
spring.
