1t must strike Europeans as very droll to
see ladies attired in low necked bali dresses
to receive afternoon callers, but found the
practice was universal.
Parlsans remember to this day the American
millionaire--I was going to say billionaire-
who, on the occasion of his daughters
wedding, wrote to the Town Conncil of Paris
to ask for the loan of the Arc de Triomphe,
which he was anxious TO decorate in honor of
the wedding and have the special use of dur
ing the day lie was politely informed that
the arc was not to let. Then will buy it,
he replied; 'name your price"
The American woman does not render to

him.
Their politics appeared to me perfectly
childish; but il am right, | may add that,
like children, they will learn, 1t is by voting
that people learn to vote.-[ Forum.

CASTING PLATE GLASS.
An Industry OHerin a Remarkably Fin,

An Industry Oferin a Remarkably Fine
Scenic Display.
The casting tables, the most i'm
portant pieces of apparatus in plate
glass works, are nineteen feet long,
fourteen feet wide and seven inches
thick. Each is provided with an iron
roller, thirty inches in diameter and
fifteen feet long Strips of iron on
each side of the table afford bearing
for the rollers, and determine the
thickness Of the plate of glass to be
cast The rough plate is commonly
nine-sixteenths of an inch in thickness;
after polishing it is reduced to six or
seven-sixteenths. The casting tables
are mounted on wheels, and run on
track that reaches every furnace and
annealing oven in the building.
The table having been wheeled as
near as possible to the melting fur
mace, the pot of molten glass is lifted
By means OF crane, and its contents
quickly poured on the table, The
heavy iron roller is then passed from
end to end, spreading the glass into
layer of uniform thickness. The whole
operation of casting scarcely occupies
more time than it takes to describe it.
Each movement is made with almost
nervous rapidity. Few industries offer
such fine scenic display as the pouring
of molten glass One feels like crying
Encore! it is so very brilliant.
In contact with the cold metal of the
table the glass cools rapidly As soon
as possible the door of the annealing
oven is opened, and the plate of glass
introduced. The floor of the oven is
on the same level as the casting table.
so that the transfer can be convenient.
ly and quickly made. When, after sew.
eral days, the glass is taken out of the
oven. its surface is found to be decid-
edly rough aud uneven. A small guam
tity is used in this condition for sky
lights and other purposes where
strength is required without transpar-
ency, Il is known in the market as
rough plate. The greater part Of the
glass, however, is ground, smoothed
and polished before it leaves the es-
tablishment British Mercantile Ca

winier Rre.

The last annual report OF the United
States Department OF Agriculture has
this to say OF it: ut has an insignifi-
cant area and does not increase in pro-
portion to population. 1t is used
mainly by people of German descent,
and to limited extent in the Eastern
States in combination with maize. It
is scarcely grown in the South, and
but little in the West and on the Pacific
coast. In the South it is grown for
winter pasture. y The prejudice against
rye arises mainly from the fact that if
grown on the same farm with wheat,
and it is threshed and stored IN the
same barn. the grains will get mixed
in spite of the greatest caution, and
can not afterwards be thoroughly sep
arated with the best winnowing ma
chine. and thus impairs the samples Of
wheat when offered for sale; and more
than this, however near these SAM
pies OF wheat may come up to the
standard of good seed they ean aot
be used in this way, for the adultera-
tion ofthe rye will he largely increased
the next crop.
There is a way, We think, Il which
rye can be made useful On every tarm.

Never mind about telling that you
have better stock than your neighbour.
The stock will tell that better than you
can, if it is a fact.
When you sleep too little you arc
using yourself as a man does a piece
of machinery which hepersists in ruo-
ming without greasing.
-Stock-raising and grass-growing
are joint occupations. A higher price
can be obtained for hay by converting
it into beef, while the manure remains
behind to add to the fertility Of the
soil.
Some people want a National flow
er adopted. The way some men seem
to encourage the growth Of weeds.
they would unquestionably name tho
flower of some weed in fence corner.
There will be no crop OF onions If
the ground is not rich and we'll pre-
pared After the beds begin to start
they will not thrive if grass or weeds
grow among them. They must DO
clear of all obstacles.
If any animal deserves, as a re-
ward for service to man, and as a COM
pensation for days. weeks and years Of
abuse; if any animal deserves a tram
quill future, a glorious pasturage tfay-
ersed by never-failing crystal streams
of water, surely that animal must be
the horse.
1t costs no more, says the Mary
land Farmer, to raise and harvest 800
bushels OF Swedish turnips than it does
for l50 bushels OF potatoes. and there
is more fun in it Only learn how.
and do away with the feeling that It is
gardening and requires skin, and
then go ahead.
1t requires patience to take care
of flock of sheep. To turn them out
on the bare fields to shift for them
selves will not render them profitable.
The flock master should be as atten-
tive to his flocks Of sheep as their
care demands, and when this is done
they will amply repay all the outlay
bestowed upon them.
Government figures on the sheep
industry Of the United States show a
decrease in number during 1888 oI foul

WHEAT CULTIVATION.
Experiments with Fertilizers at the Ohio
Agricultural Station.

Experiments with Fertilizers at the Ohio
Agricultural Station.
There were 20 trials with stable
manures, consisting of eomposted and
fresh COW and horse manures, ap-
piled at the rate of 16 tons per acre.
The yield from these plots was at
the rate of 1876 bushels per acre, 10.7
bushels more than where no manure
was used, this being aA increase Of
28.2 per cent. But for each additional
bushel an average of nearly ton and
half was applied.
The average yield of grain from the
plots (75 in number) receiving inor-
ganic manures of any kind was 37.7
bushels per acre. This is 9 bushels
less than the average of the 46 unfer-
tilted plots, or decrease of 5 per
cent.
There were 50 trials With organic
manures The average rate of yield
per acre OF grain was 45.2 bushels,
making a difference between these and
the unfertilized Of 1875 per cent. in
favor Of the manures.
From the above the following con-
clusions may be draw;
/. The soil upon which these expert
ments were conducted is quite fertile
and productive without the application
of any manure.
2. The application of commercial in
organic manures has not given cor
responding increase in yield of grain.
and the only grain founded upona suf-
ficiently, large number of trials to give
it weight was where nitrogen was con-
tanned in some form.
8. Where organic and complete ma
nures we're used an increase in yield
was obtained. Ground bone, with but
two tests, appears an exception.
4 Stable or barnyard manure pro-
duce the most beneficial result upon
this soil.
8. None Of the fertilizers produce an
increase sufficient to cover the cost Of
the manures applied. Boston Globe.
