ASHES AS MANURE,
A Good Fertilizer When Applied In Liz
tied Quantities.

| "A 1OOu Wneh Appueu In
tted Quantities.
1t has been abundantly demonstrated
by analysis and experience that ashes
of mineral coal are practically of nc
value as fertilizers. although the use
of these in finely sifted condition is
frequently represented as beneficial.
In such cases the benefits are due to
the mechanical changes wrought on
soils of a texture that required some
such addition. 1t must be added, how
ever, that this mechanical action of
coal ashes is, in some soils, injurious.
With the ashes of wood the case is
quite different, these being classed
among the most valuable of fertilizers.
The valuable ingredients of wood
ashes are potash lime and phosphoric
acid, potash leading in Importance,
according to the popular opinion. 1t
is, however, sometimes difficult to de-
eide to which of these ingredients the
useful effect exerted by wood ashes is
due, depending, as it does, on the
amount of each that may have existed
in the soil as plant food previous to the
application Of the ashes, for lime and
phosphoric acid are as essential to
plant growth as is potash.
The ash remaining from the combus.
tion of wood and plants is very small
in volume and weight compared with
the amount of vegetable matter it rep
resents. but it has been conclusively
demonstrated that q plant can not
grow in the absence of the substances
found in its ash. The ashes of plants
are, therefore, exceedingly valuable
agents in their own reproduction, for,
although they are not all identical in
their composition, the ash of each
class of plant differing in some re-
spects from that OF others, yet there is
enough similarity existing in all to
make their ashes generally useful. AS
they are among the most useful, so,
where wood is used for fuel they may
be pronounced among the most econom-
ical manures, and none should be
wasted. but all be saved and applied to
the land. Leached ashes. though less
valuable, contain most of their original
elements. except loss in their potash
and soda. They may also be advan-
applied, and will improve all
soils not already saturated with the
principles they contain.
In general it may be said that
dressing OF from twenty to forty
bushels of wood ashes will be beneficial
on all soils reduced by cropping. never
ertheless Il continued yearly applica-
lion OF ashes without n corresponding
Use of vegetable or barnyard manure
would eventually be injurious. For
orchards and for all plants
having a woody structure ashes will
be found useful. AS n rule ashes will
Dc found most profitable on soils def
;ient in potash and for crops that ex-
laust the land of this ingredient.
The relative proportions of the aka
les in the composition OF the ash of
lumber of the ordinary crops is con-
,isely stated by johnson as follows:
Cereals (grain), 80; Legumes (ker-
lels). III; root crops (roots), 60;
grasses in flower, 33. The above may
'erve TO indicate in some measure the
,rops 10 which ashes may be most
,roltably applied. IN. Y. World.

Poultry at certain seasons are
sometimes over-stimulated by high
feeding 10 make them lay. 1t must be
remembered that fowls can be injured
in this way.
If q fruit tree is not bearing as 1t
should. stir the soil well and apply a
dressing OF rotten manure. II, in a
few days after, a dressing of wood
ashes can be put on 1t will make it all
the better. Prune well, especially
when cutting out all the old, diseased
wood.
Roasted oysters: Take oysters in
the shell, wash the shells clean and
lay them on hot Goals. When they
are done they will open, when the up
per shell can be removed. Serve the
oysters in the loose shell, with little
melted butter poured over each. -Bos-
ton Herald.
Sandwich Dressing: One-half pound
Of butter, two tablespoonfuls of mixed
mustard, three tablespoonfnls Of salad
oil, little red or white pepper, little
salt, yelk of one egg; rub the butter to
cream, add the other ingredients,
and mix thoroughly set away to cool,
spread the bread with this mixture and
put in the ham chopped fine.
Lawns, says the Country Gentle
man, should be cut frequently, but not
SO short as to deprive the grass plants
of their leaves and vigor. As gen.
eral rule, the grass should never be
sheared nearer than two inches of the
ground. A longer growth than is
necessary during the summer should
be permitted after the middle of au-
tumn to serve as winter protection.
1T costs about two and half cents
q week to feed hen, says corre-
spondent of the New England Farmer,
and it costs that amount whether she
lays four or five eggs in the time or
stands around doing nothing. "Obvi-
ously, if she lays four or five Cor better
still six) eggs she pays good profit
for her keep. If a hen lays two eggs a
week, one paying for her food and the
other being profit, obviously, If she
lays four eggs in week one pays for
the food and there are three for profit. !"
Baked Tomatoes: Select and pre-
pare exactly as for broiling or frying.
Arrange with the cut sides on top in a
buttered baking-pan. Salt and pepper,
and set in well-heated oven. Bake
for half-hour, and then transfer, with
out breaking if possible, to a platter or
dish, where the gravy is poured over
them. A sprig or two of parsley may
be laid around each tomato as gar
nish. The tomatoes themselves may
also be used as a garnish for meat
baked in the same pan or separately.

Corn is the best material with
which to fill the silo, and it should be
put in when the ears begin to glaze.
Some farmers pick the prime ears, and
ensilage the remainder. The moro
ears that are left, the better, of course.
will be the ensilage. The silo need
not be filled in a hurry. 1t is better to
put in layer of about two and half
feet and then let it ferment till the
temperature rises to about 130 degs.,
and then add another layer, and so on,
till the silo is full. In this way extra
expense for help is avoided. Dairy

WE HAVE THE MEN.
And They Arc Good Ones, Even II Their
Arms BE Not the Best.

And They Arc Good Ones, Even II Their
Arms BE Not the Best.
This question of arms is live one in
Europe, where fighting may be ex-
pected at any time: but we, the very
warlike and extremely unmilitary SOW
ereign people OF the United States, can
afford to view it with Indifference. We
know that we have millions of fighting
men ready to spring to arms at their
countrys call. The arms they would
spring to may not be of the best, but
the men are splendid.
We have Springfield rifles for few
thousands of the millions, and have
provided by the law of the land, in
force in the year of grace 1889, that
each man of all the rest shall have "a
good musket or firelock, two spare
aints, sufficient bayonet," and other
warlike gear, except in the case of Off
GERS each of whom must have "a spon-
toon, and sword or hanger" as he
may elect.
Our criterion OF military excellence
is very different from that of Europe.
There 1t is the capability OF men to get
into position to shoot, and to shoot
straight and quick; here it is the
prettiness with which soldiers, under
police escort, can march up the main
street of great town.
We consider it the part of wisdom to
prepare for more peace in time of
peace; but should foreign foe suddenly
attack us the pulse of the patriot
would thrill at the spectacle presented
by our armies springing to their arms
and marching down oadway-under
the protection of the Broad dway squad
each man of the rank and file bravely
bearing along his frelock, his two
spare hints, and his sufficient bayonet,
and every officer gallantly brandishing
his hanger and fourishing his spon-
toon, while the covering and cowardly
enemy was pitching 1000 FOUNDER
shells among them from safe posi-
tion off Coney Island. ..-Scribner Mag
