An Artinl Dodge.

A seedy-looking man entered an up
town oar-room the other evening, says
Mr.. Grurdy. In his hand he carried q
hsDdsome Mslsccs walking cane. with

The cane was handed around, and a

dollars.
While the men were discussing the

Hard v ood Ashes as a Fertilizer.

There are few If any fertilizers in the
qualities as good wood ashes, being ri' b
in potash, and having fair rropor 1, n
of phosphOric acid. They supply two
important materials that are deficient
pOrtsnt elements that are not oniy ben
ehcial, but important for plant growth.
Wood ashes contain large quantities of
lime, not store lime, but lime that is
been in a condition to enter plants. it
again readily comes in a condition to be
taken up by the growing plants, much
more so than the common stone lime.
Ashes contain two other important eIe-
ments, magnesia and SILICA. These
are both necessary for plant growth,
and like the lime, they are in the right
condition TO be readily taken up by the
growing plants. In fact, wood ashes
being the mineral elements of vegeta-
tion, they contain all o. the mineral ele-
meEts of the growth OF other vegetation
and that too in the best possible condi-
LIon, because having been once taken
up by growing vegetation they have
been divided into smsll particles and
made soluble in water. and they readily
return te the same condition again.
This is an important fact that is gener-
ally overlooked.
a fertilizer may be we'll supplied with
important elements OF plant food, yet
oe in such condition as to be OF no prsc.
tical use to the growing plants for sew
eral years after it is applied. II the
farmer could be sura of getting pure
wood ashes at the price usually charged
Z would be for his interest to buy
them for almost any crop he grows on
nis farm. While the benefit the first
year may not be as much as some other
fertilizers, the second and for four or
five years following, the benefit on many
soils is great The doubt about the
quality has deferred many from buying
ashes In large quantities. While there
are some ashes analyZed worth from
80 to 40 cents bushel, there are others
that will not analyze worth more than
half as much. II some way could be
devised by which the price could be
fixed to correspond Sith the quality to
a positive certainty, the farmer would
feel that he was getting bis moneys
worth, but as long as he has to buy as
be now does, he will be very likely to
think he is being cheated. when in
poiut of facts, he is getting more value
than he pays FOR.

Parm Dependency.

One Of the principal advantages in
keeping up the fertility of the farm, is
that II places the farmer in a condition
60 increase the number of stock kept on
the farm. Fertility OF soil Is an i'm
portant item, not only with the cultiva
ted fields, but with the meadows and
pastures as well. III the farm is to feed
the largest number possible, keeping
them In good, thrifty condition, il is
very important that every acre on the
farm should be made to yield the larg-
est possible crop, aud q nice soil is the
foundation of this. II requires good
management-good fsrsling-to grow
crops every year and at the same time
build up the fertility, yet it eau be done
by adopting regular system OF rots-
ton, Keeping a sufficient number Of
stock to consume all the products OF the
farm, making, saving and applying all
the manure possible taking pains to
secure the largest yield by thorough
preparation, seed good and cultivation.
4 rich soil is one important item, but
in addition, IL the best yield is Sc
cured, it must be we'll prepared, the
seed be OF good qualify and carefully
planted in good season and then thor
ough cultivation be given n the right
time and IN the proper manner. A fail
ure or any one o. these essential condi-
tions will affect the growth and Weld,
and In doing this will sffec. indirectly
the number of stock that can be kept
npon the farm. And any hing that in
cresses or decreases the yield of the
the crops affects the number OF stock
that can be kept, and the supply Of
manure Is dependent very largely upon
the number of stock kept so that al
through a system Of farm operations.
one part is dependent upon the o:her.
and the Increasing OF one increases all
OF the Others, so it is important to So
manage the fam operations, that the
best fertility is maintained.
