by using it themselves in their official
analyses. To be sure, they say after
wards that by insoluble they do not
mean insoluble in the soil, but only
that it is insoluble in their solution of
ammonium citrate, which they use in
making their analyses. They admit
that this insoluble phosphate is SOL
uble, by attaching value to it in their
analyses. If it were really insoluble,
it would have no value at all to the
farmer. The real truth is that the
phosphoric acid of bones, and of the
soft mineral phosphates, like the South
Carolina floats, and the "phosphate
meal" lately introduced, are quite suf-
ficiently soluble, cas- soluble as the
phosphoric acid naturally present in all
fertile new soils, which will produce
crops for some time without any ma
nuring. The only thing needed is that
we put on a larger quantity at first, be-
cause only third or a quarter will
become freely soluble the first season.
Now, as we can get three or four times
as much phosphoric acid in floats as we
can get in a complete fertilizer for the
same money, we think it economy to
buy it, put on three or four times as
much, and let the crop be three or four
times as long getting it. In this way,
so far as phosphoric acid is concerned,
we manure for three or four seasons at
the cost of manuring for one season
with an acid phosphate.
4. We should much prefer linseed
meal to cotton-seed for feeding to young
pigs; but we think shorts probably
quite as good, if fed in milk. The
shorts and milk furnish the same ele-
ments as the oil meals, except the fats,
which are mostly absent in skinned
milk. BY the new process, nearly all
the oil is taken out of linseed, 80 that
the linseed-cake has only three or four
per cent, or less than new milk. There
is something in cotton-seed which
makes it differ from linseed, in being
usually much less digestible, especially
to young animals. Even with mature
beasts, we have to be more cautious in
feeding cotton-seed meal than linseed.
5. Yes, linseed is nice for calves, if
feed with discretion, in connection
with other food. But the new process
linseed cake, having the oil so COM
pletely extracted, is inferior for this
purpose to impressed linseed meal.
For feeding, linseed meal with the oil
in it is much the best,-which is not
true of cotton-seed.

Beauty in Fiction.


OF course, the naughty ones will be
handsome, and the silly little ones will
be pretty. Occasionally some great
genius has been able to picture sue
cessful and cunning adventures, like
Becky Sharp, without endowing her
with beauty or even with charm; but,
as rule, intellectual simplicity-sim-
plicity which we have to smile at lit
tie, even though indulgently-simplic-
ity like that of Dora Coppertield-is
gifted with beautiful blue eyes and
golden hair; selfish, frail, naughty
Hetty is given a sweet, rounded,
blossom-like, dark eyed beauty that
makes the very reader long TO kiss her
before he shakes her; plebian Daisy
Miller, innocent but horribly ignorant,
is made to bewitch even the tranquil
and intellectual Henry James; while
women able to work worse folly and
evil than the simply silly or the selfishly
frail, have been endowed with GER
tain splendid physical beauty and
charm, from Ouida's heroines down to
Zola's. This may be the sternest real
ism, for it is exactly what we find in
real life; folly, ignorance and weak
ness, awfully pretty; wickedness, cum
ming and absolute unscrupulousness,
splendidly beautiful. We should ex-

Several writers are amusing them
selves this season by announcing that
sour milk and sour swill are unfit for
food for swine. OF course they make
out a good argument from their pre-
misses, but there has been nothing yet
presented that will outweigh the fact
that pigs, calves and chickens have for
years and perhaps for ages been fed
with sour and curdled milk nearly as
soon as they would eat it, and have
reached full maturity in good health. 1t
has been widely believed that sour milk
was best for pigs, and to support this
theory it has been stated that the sow's
milk was sour when drawn from the
teat. This, however, is not the fact
Many human beings prefer sour milk
and think it is not fit to eat or drink till
it has soured. There has been no rea-
son shown why the souring of milk is
any more detrimental to its qualities for
food than the change in cheese which
makes it so strong, or the perfecting
process in many other substances in
common use.-Mirror and Farmer.

IN discussing the changing charac-
ter of milk by feeding" Mr.. A. w.
Cheever, in the Ne,o England Farmer,
says: {" 1t is true nothing comes from
the udder which has not first gone in at
the mouth. Normal milk can not long
be obtained unless the cow is given
such food as will supply the cow with
all the ingredients found in normal
milk. Take away the bone material
from the food, and the cow will supply
it for a while from the horns and bones
of her own body, but she can not do
this long. Take away the heterogeneous
element from the food and the COW will
for while supply the deficiency from
her own muscles. Feed so little heat
producing food in winter that the COW
must stand and SILVER with the cold,
and the fat in her milk will in part be
burned up in the body, leaving the
milk thin and poor Fill up again with
heat-supplying food and the milk will
become normal again. Food, water,
shelter and kind treatment all exert an
influence on the quantity and quality
of milk. No one denies this, but what
is denied is that a COW can be made to
run butter or cheese, or milk-sugar at
will, to any practicable extent merely
by changing the composition of her
food. In limited sense the COW is a
milk machine, but she cannot be run
as cheese machine by feeding pea
meal or hens eggs, nor into butter
factory by filling her paunch with oil
meal or oeomargarine."

pect to find this in fiction; the interest
lies, as study, in seeing the mood in
which the author contemplates this un-
deniable fact. Will he approach it
from the puritan standpoint, that all
beauty is snare of the devil2 Or
with Ouida's insidous belief that
whatever is beautiful is irresistible,
and therefore pardonable? Or with
Henry James coolly critical and an
alytical curiosity, that anyone who be-
HAYES as badly as Daisy Miller should
be so genuinely innocent, and that any
one so ill-bred should he so madden
ingly pretty?-A6ce wellington Rollins.

THE Vermont Waterman in speaking
of the signs of progress to be seen
throughout New England, believes that
all that is now needed is an intelligent
appreciation of the situation on the part
of railroad managers, which would be
best shown by reduction of freight
rates on farm products, and especially
on small shipments. The idea is an
original one, but is sound business phi
losophy. The farming of New Eng
land is made up in the main of small
individual enterprises, and if we would
keep up our population it must con-
tinue so. Railroad managers, then,
should not lose sight of this fact, and to
build up business among them must of
necessity reach and promote their indi-
vidual wants.-Maine Farmer.

RIGHT GOOD ADVICE.
BY ROBERT BURDETTE.

My son, when you hear man
growing and scolding because
Moody gets 5000 a week for preach
ing Christianity, you will perceive
that he never worries a minute be-
cause Ingerson gets 5000 night
for preaching atheism. You will
observe that the man who is unut-
terably shocked because F. Muir
ply gets $3.50 a week for temper
ance work seems to think it is all
right when the barkeeper takes in
twice as much money in a single
day. The laborer is worthy of his
hire, my boy, and he is just as
worthy of it in the pulpit as he is
upon the stump. Is the man who
is honestly trying to save your i'm
mortal soul worth less than the
! man who is only trying his level
best to go to Congress? Isn't
Moody doing as good work as In
gersoll? Was not John B. Cough
as much the friend of humanity
and society as the bartender? Do
you want to get all the good in the
world for nothing, so that you may
be able to pay a high price for the
bad?
Remember, my boy, the good
things in the world are always the
cheapest. Spring water costs less
than corn whisky; a box of cigars
will buy two or three bibles; gall
Ion of old brandy costs more than
a barrel of flour; a ''full hand" at
poker often costs a man more in
twenty minutes than his church
subscription amounts to in three
years; a state election costs more
than revival of religion; you can
sleep in church every Sunday
morning for nothing, if you're mean
enough to deadbeat your lodging
that way, but nap in a Pullman
car costs you two dollars every
time; fifty cents for the circus, and
a penny for the little ones to put in
the missionary box; one dollar for
the theater, and a pair of trousers
frayed at the end and baggy at the
knee for the Michig nsufferers; the
race horse scoops in the $4,000 the
first day, and the church fair lasts
a week, works twenty-five or thirty
of the best women in America half
to death, and comes out $40 in
debt. Why, my boy, if you find
yourself sneering or scoffing be-
cause once in a while you hear of a
preacher getting a living, or even a
luxurious salary, or a temperance
worker making money, 60 out in
the dark and feel ashamed of your
self, and if you don't feel above
kicking mean man, kick your
self. Precious little do religion
and charity cost the old world, my
boy, and when the money it does
get is flung into its face, like a bone
to a dog, the donor is not benefited
by the gift, and the receiver is not
and certainly should not be CRATE
full. 1t is insulted.
