UNKNOWN HEROES.

Not 70 the brave upon the battlefield
Alone the palms Of victory belong;
Nor only TO the great OF earth the song
or praise and pean should the singer yield
Greater the souls that singlehanded WELD
The battle axe against the hosts Of wrong,
Unknown, unDoted in LIES reckless throng,
And only In Gods day 10 stand revealed.
How many such in patient, humble guise
Beside MS walk their grief appointed wayl
Nobly enduring, worthiest 70 shine
As fixed stars In flames eternal skies.
For these, for this l reverently lay
On their dear dust this little leaf Of mine.

1t may not always be cheaper to make
superphosphate on the farm, but the farmer
will have perhaps, more confidence in that
prepared by himself, though a good com
mercia article can always be procured from
reliable dealers. The object in making su
perphosphate on the farm is the saving of
large amounts of bone that are annually
wasted or allowed to slowly decay. The
quantity of fertiizng material in the shape
of unreduced bones that is wasted on a sin
gle farm may not amount to over l0Opounds,
but if every farmer would endeavor to avoid
this loss the total sum saved in the whole
country would reach up in the millions
The great difficulty however, is in the re-
duction of the bones The superphosphates
on the market are made by combining 40
pounds of sulphuric acid with 100 pounds of
pounded or ground bones, but farmers do
not take kindly to handling the dangerous
! suphuric acid toll of vitrol), and as the bones
cannot be pulverized without the aid of
machinery they are permitted to 90 TO waste.
/ But there is one method of dissolvng them
that is superior to the acid process, which
/ is 10 pound the bones in IA mortar or trough
/ to the size of walnuts, or smaller and re
/ duce them with wood ashes. a box, bar
rel, hogshead or any other suitable appara-
/ tus is used, a layer of wood ashes, two inches
! thick, being put IN, ana next layer OF
bones, alternating with the ashes and bones
