Commercial Fertilizers.

The ingredients of commercial fertil- izers on which both their agricultural and commercial value chiefly depends, are nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash. Besides these more valuable ingredients. sulphuric acid and lime are always pres 2sa in the superphosphates in consider
 quantities being necessary accom- 8hent'of phosphoric acid as it exists Tn nearly all manufactured fertilizers. Nitrogen is the most costly of the three important ingredients mentioned. and adds largely to the value of all the fer tilizers sold with but few exceptions.
 The following materials furnish organic nitrogen to fertilizers: Dried blood, dried and ground fish. prepared animal matter, fish scrap. meat scrap. cotton seed meal, caster pomace. hair, horn. wool, leather waste. etc These substances must de- compose and the nitrogen become changed into compounds of nitric acid and ammonia before it is available to plants. Soluble phosphoric acid is obtained by treating certain phosphatic materials, such as bone and South Carolina rock, with sulphuric acid
 The potash used in this country for agricultural purposes comes mostly from Germany. in the 50 called German potash salts. which include potassium. sulphRte. potassium chloride (the muriate) and ksl- nite. Except for few special purposes. potash Is equally valuable in all these forms. but costs less in the muriata and in kainite.

A Hint for Cities.

Nothing could be better than the asso-
 ciation recently formed in Philadelphia called the Open Space association, having for it's object the increase of small parks and other openings in the mass of houses as a sanitary measure. and also for the comfort and refinement of the people. This is better than sending crowds of children out for open air during Q month of summer. An address before the Mis- souri Horticultural rociety. some years since. recommended system allowing for an opening every fourth of mile in all streets. In this way city would be thoroughly sunny and at the same time be provided with shaded spots. The same plan included drinking fountains in each opening provided three times day with ice. Old cities can only be improved. New cities can be laid out on the better principles Such cities could not easily have portions that fall into degraded physical habits and become both vile and unsightly. To reform men we must re. form homes.-Nsw York Graphic.

Facts Worthy of Note.


 The good home garden proves it's own value
 Keep tools in good order and save labor and time
 As much as possible protect animals from flies and musquitoes.
 Don't let the cows be hurried home from pasture. c Reports from the use of copperas solu- tion on grapevines have been very favora- ble. Spraying with the solution usually mitigated the bad effects on the crop, though the disease was not entirely pre- vented.
 New Jersey fruit growers in the north ern part of the state, by reason of de- structive insects that have wrought great havoc this season on small fruits, have appealed to the public to protect field mice, moles and all insectivorous birds, the English sparrow excepted.

Men Are Just as Bad.

A woman, speaking of the attacks made upon her sex for their methods of hand ling their skirts or bustles when sitting down. carrying their parasols, and other habits. says ''l think three quarters of such talk Is nonsense. 1 am perfectly sure that men have just as many marked habits as women What can be more absurd, 1 would like to know. than to see a man, every time he sits town. fling his coat tails wide apart? Then. again. that everlasting twitching at the legs of his trousers so as to pull them up in folds above the knees, and exposing generally the not always attractive top of pair of shoes. with strings tied in a by no means picturesque knot. To me one of the re pulsive habits is the refolGing up of 8 handkerchief before replacing in the pocket, which is quite common among men. l always wonder if the user is afraid of getting them mussed or only wants the outside fresh and clean. As regards pulling down cuffs so they will show beneath the sleeve. and similar tricks, are they not every day sights?"- The Aroonaut.

BUTTER IN PRINTS AND PACKAGES.
Arguments in Favor of and Against the
 Popular Print Form.

Arguments in Favor of and Against the
 Popular "Print'' Form.
 In the best retail butter markets. says Henry E. Alvord in American Cultivator, there is very general preference for the print" form. Purchasers want their butter attractive in appearance. and so they select the small rolls, pats or blocks, round. square or brick shaped. generally bearing some design or trade mark, stamped or pressed upon the butter. which gives to this class of the article the name of prints. This preference is simply one of the many pieces of evidence. afforded by retail markets, of the close re- lation of the eye and appetite, and the i'm portance of the looks of the thing" ill selling any food product.
 There is another side, however, to the print butter subject which is not often considered Those persons most particu- lar about their butter regard it's most i'm portant qualities to be sweetness, freshness and high flavor We all know butter to be an extremely perishable produce. injured. even when carefully made, by exposure to air and the contaminations which are con- veyed in the air This is the reason so much attention has been given to butter packages of all kinds. The more butter is exposed to the air. the greater are the chances of it's injury The print form, esnecially if the prints are small offers

Potato Blossoms.

After repeated experiments to determine the fact in his own mind. the editor of The Mark Lane Express advises farmers to cut of potato blossoms as soon as they appear. The ball. or true seed of the potato, which results from the blossom, are not only unnecessary to the formation of the tuber below. but are a prejudicial strain op the plant. He says: "I have tried 1t again and again on large scale three rows left and three rows cut-and the results have more than sasshed me. It stands to reason that the plant which is propagated in acknowledged agricul- tural economy from it's budding root stem. must spend it's energies and powers unnecessarily in the production of flowers and seeds which are of no economic value whatever"

The origin of the boiled breeds of cattle is not definitely known. According to the Aberdeen Angus Herd Book however. there appears to be evidence that the breed of the present day is lineal de- scendant from the ancient boiled cattle of the northwest of Scotland. known at the beginning of the present century iii their respective districts as the Angus Bodies and the Buchan Humlies. The first ac- count of the importation of breeding herd of Aberdeen Angus cattle, according to Prairie Farmer, is that of Professor Brown of the Ontario, Canada, experiment farm. made in 1876 and consisting of two cows and bull These polled cattle are. at the present date. prominently known in the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. in Missouri. Nebraska and Illinois. Im- portatious have also been made in Maine, Ohio. New Jersey and Massachusetts.
 Experiment with these cattle seems to have proved that they are well adapted to various climates that they are hardy and deep milkers. The fact of their being boiled Is accepted by many as great point in their favor.

About Hybrid Plants.

At the Nurserymen's convention at De troit. Mich. Thos Meehan, an authority in such matters, said:
 A plant with comparatively sour fruit has seeding with sweet fruit. Insects or the wind carry the pollen of the par ent. or those like the parent. to the new departure, and the next generation pro- duces fruit neither sweet nor sour. The adventurous younster is back again to- ward the ranks. It is next to impossible to make any good use of hybridizing or crossing improving fruits. In the origi- nation of new races it is, however. invalua- ble. There was time when people be- lived hybrids were sterile. They saw that the poor mule was sterile. and jumped at the conclusion that that was a law in all things. Truly some hybrids are sterile, but then there are'numerous cases of sterility among individuals not hybrids American horticulturists surely know that hybrids are not necessarily sterile. Rogers. of Salem, over quar- ter of g century ego produced new race of grapes between two species. We all know this race is not sterile. The race having been once established has given them by natural variation a great ad- vance.

Preservation of Eggs.

Results gained from prizes offered by The London Dairy for the best preserved eggs seem to show that the lime water system is, all things considered. the best. A pound of lime should be stirred with a gallon of water. and the eggs. perfectly fresh. immersed therein in barrels or jars This excludes air and any germs that might cause mildew or mold. and pre- vents evaporation. so that the contents of the egg are not reduced in bulk. It is important to have considerable excess of limo to replace any that may become carbonated. The vessels containing the eggs should be kept in cool. well ven tilated place.-American Stockman.

the greatest surface exposure. The print is the very worst form in which butter can be put for preserving it's delir cate aavors. Small rolls stand best In this respect. In both cases the danger of injury is lessened by wrapping in nap kin, or cloth saturated with brine s.s The waxed. or parchment paper which has come into use within a few years, also furnishes good protection. If butter is to be printed at all, every print or lump should be carefully and closely wrapped in the waterproof paper, to make pack age as nearly air tight as possible. before leaving the dairy room where it is made Thus protected, if well cooled and firm. the closer the prints are packed and kept. till sold or used the better. To facilitate close packing the square and brick forms are preferable to the roll and round print or pat"
 But there is another objection to print Ing butter. The best judges of butter and most successful makers. at the present day advise handling it. with or without tools, as little as possible Working" is almost omitted ill some of the most par ticular dairies. and much butter from large creameries having the highest repu- tation is actually not worked ut all. In o of manipulation is necessary. Very gen orally the whole process of putting into print form is just so much extra handling after the butter is at it's best. This need less handling or working injures the grain of the butter Overworking is the most common fault in butter.
 If butter is packed into tub. jar or ether package, as directly from the churn as possilSe. these serious objections to print butter are avoided. The wonder is that small consumers do not learn the ad- vantage of small packages. in which but ter is packed in bulk. In some markets five pound boxes and little pails holding six, eight and ten pounds, have become i quite popular But. while cheap and con- venent, wood is by no means the best i material ill which to pack butter. Glass is the best, or porcelain, and stoneware next. For local trade there is nothing better than well glazed stone jars. The butter is thus protected from the air, and its grain and favors we'll preserved. Moreover the maker Is saved the labor and actual expense of putting the butter into print form. and this is quite an item.
