How To SETTLE OUAgRE1,s-Tb,

How To SETTLE QUARRELs. The
Burlaw club of Philadelphia ought to be
popularized and initiated everywhere,
and burlow should be once moro an in
stitution of all civilized lands. It was
c1ston in Scotland formerly to settle
any common dis outes among the people
by vote IN an assemblage of neighbors.
So quarrels were closed up at once,
Wit delay or litigation and the ir.ita-
ton of courts and lawyers. The custom
was rational; it was sort of common
law. Lawyers had no chance to swallow
a farm while settling boundary lines. We
have too much Legislation, too many laws
aud too many methods of delaying JUS
tee. To recover ten feet of land a man
must expend fifty times it's value. Let
us have more burlaw aud common sense,
especially in rural districts.-Globe

n Clever Rascal.

Some clever rascal III London adver-
tised that he would on receipt of six
pence in stamps. return To the sender
one shilling. The advertisement was
published prominently enough to at
tract considerable attention. and it
naturally excited remark. To most
persons it seemed a very transparent
humbug, too silly to be called Il fraud,
but there were Il few curious individu-
ais who determined to see whether the
advertiser was a crank or had some
game, so they sent on their siypences.
BY return mail each one received the
shilling. \ few days after the same
advertisement again appeared in sew
eral of the newspapers. anI every body
who had tried it before told all of his
friends about it. The result was that
several hundred siNpeuces were receiv-
ed; and next day as many shiltings
went back The third time the adyer-
tisemeui appeared thcmail received by
the clever sharper was simply enor-
nous. Letters game from all parts of

pie, high and low, rich and poor. The

Nitrogen is of but little value al this
season compared with the results derived
from it in the spring, as it is very solu-
bic. and quickly shows its effects when
applied to the crop. As it is not ncces-
sary to induce the wheat crop To eNces-
sive growth now, the amount TO be in
vested in heterogeneous fertilizers can be
better utilized in the spring. It may he
stated, however, that nearly all
the phosphatcs contain nitrogen, if
made from bone, and there will
consequently he no lack Of tha. material,
but IN he spring a dressing of 100 pounds
of crude nitrate Of soda on the Young
wheat will nearly double the yield If
there is no deficiency in the other sub
Stances necessary for fulfilling the pur.
poses OF the crop. Potash assists in dis
solving silica, which provides The bony
structure Of all plants, and also enters
INTO the composition of The straw and
seed. In the form Of wood ashes or IN
the shape Of muriate or sulpha.e of
potash 1t IS not very costly.

AGRICULTURAL. MATTERS


\ large proportion Of the commercia.
fertilizers used on the farm is apnlied in
me tall and especially on the wheat crop
which in this section il seeded down at
tbs season. Fertilizers are costly o.
cheap, according to the manner in which
thcy are used. There are three main in
gradients in al complete fertilizers-ni.
trogen, potash and phospLoric acid. The
latter IS sold in q soluble form rs super.
phosphate and in the insolu-
alc form as ground bone or
crude phosphate rock. When used IN
the spring the safest mode OF using phos.
phoric acid is as superphosphate. in order
10 derive benefit from il as speedily rs
possible, but on the wheat crop, which
allows quite a period Of time before the
growing season, the cheaper form of
phosphate is ground bone. for the reason
that II viii cost something for converting
the hone into supcrphosphate, and be
cause there may be a loss Of the soluble
phosphoric acid during the wintcr from
rams. which, however, depends on the
character OF the soil, the loss being tighter
on clay soils than on those that are
sandy.

The value Of the food is not in the
available material contained therein for
the production Of meat or milk only, bu,
also in the amount and quality Of The
manure derived therefrom. 1t has been
estimated that one-third Of the food eaten
goes into the manure. As the manure
then is simply the food stared away fot
future use, ii is important that in order
to derive the greatest benefit from the
food manure should be carefully managed
To prevent loss. As the food is not tx.
posed to injury by air and water The ma
nure is equally deserving Of care. The
manure heap is the savings bank Of the
farm.
The BordeauT mixture, which is now
receiving attention as one Of The rene.
dies for grape rot, is made by dissolying
eight pounds Of suIphatc Of copper n
fifteen gallons Of water which has been
raised to the boiling point. IN another
vessel Stake ten pounds of lime with five
gallons of water. When cool pour the
lime water in the copper solution, stir
ring the mixture briskly while SO doing.
Pastures should be grazcd down, and
no tall grass or weeds should remain. Not
only is it injurious to allow the weeds
and grass TO remain, but stock will be
Inconvenience in wet seasons unless the
frosts come early. Dry pastures should
be preferred in rriny weather. Tall
grass is very injurious To sheep, getting
them wet aud causing d~is,cmpcr.
A new weather prediction has been dis
covered By . French scientist. He OBJ
serves that the scintillations of stars in
crease before many storms, Indicating
disturbance OF the upper atmosphere
hours before thc meteorological instru.
ments show any change. The iercer the
storm the more is the strength Of the scin.
tillati0ps increased.
Never grow trees Of different kinds to-
gather until satisfied one does not injure
the other, as is frequently the case when
plums are grown near peaches, thus in
ducing the curculio to sometimes attack
the latter. A single wild cherry tree near
near an apple orchard will provide a har-
boring place for caterpillars, which finally
injure the apple orchard.
Open sheds at this season are preferable
to stables. They should be dry, and no
.draughts Of air should flow through them.
If yards are attached the COW can enjoy
themselves in the sun during the day, if
they are not allowed on the pasture. The
should not be confined too closely
to the stalls of the stable until cool
weather.
strawberry rust is shown by spots on
the leaves. 1t is not yet decided if it is =
disease due to fungus. The remedy tried
with the best success is to nov the vines
and weeds as o 0 as the crop is picked,
aud burn them. Mulch that may be ap- |
pied ate this fall should be shaken up
IN spring and the mulch and bed burned
over. |

Although commercial fertilizers can be
made To supply the elements that are

manure that has been thoroughly fer

No Damage at Quincy but Great Distress Else
where. Work of Relief Going on Nobly.
QUINCY, H., May 19.-The river has
fallen three and one-haIf inches since last
night and it is now believed the worst of
the food is over. No damage whatever
has been done to the city excepting to
factories ard buildings ut der the cliff
along the river bank. By reason of
additional breaks in the levee above and
below the city the water inside the en-
bankments is now on a level with river
and nearly every foot of ground pro-
tected by the levee Is flooded. Depots Of
supplies have been established by the re
lief committe OF Quincy at various
points throughout the flooded districts,
from which previ ions and clothing are
being distributed. The investig ations
made to-day show that the previous re-
ports of want and of restitution have not
been exaggerated. Hundreds OF families
require immediate assistance and the
people Of Quincy respond nobly to the call
for aid. Several thousand dollars have
been subscribed and the work Of relief
has only been fairly commenced. To-
day Gov. Alger, of Michigan, autographed
$500 to the relief committee.

He Says Again He Don't Want to Run, but Will

New YORK, May 21.-The Paris CORE
spondent OF the Press cables an intervie@
with Mr.. Blaine IN which he says:
The publication here of the actual fig
ures of the supposed Blaine managers in
New York city, however, gives new
impetus to the Blaine talk. 1t
seemed from the figures that Mr..
Blaine would have the largest number of
votes, something like $50 or $40 on the
first ballot, even before the favorite
sous had been deserted; that On the
second although comparatively few
delegations had been instructed for him,
would go $50, and that his nomination
with the greatest enthusiasm and yet
the greatest calmuess, could not be
postponed beyond the third ballot.
He at once sought out Mr.. Blaine on the
arrival of this news. Naturally he was
not displs ased, bat he said without equiv
Ocation that his Florence letter and his
later interview, which Mr.. Crawford Sc
cured for tie World, represented his
present attitude with complete truth. Mr..
Cornegie and Mr.. Elhins believe Mr..
Blaine sincere in his statements but that
if he is unanimously nominated by the
Chicago convention that he will accept.
