A Work Begun Under Nero.

A work of engineering begun by the Romans under Nero, in the second century. will be finished this year; that is, it has been in process Of con struction for over seventeen hundred years. The work to which we refer is the cutting of canal through the lsthmus of Corinth. The canal, when done, will be only four miles long.
 and will have a depth of eight meters. which will allow the passage of the largest vessels used in Greek traffic. Ii is not so great matter from an international view as the Suez and Nicaragua projects but it will do much to further the rapid progress made by modern Greece in the arts of civilization and commerce.

ASHES AS MANURE.
A Good Fertilizer When Applied in Linn
 ited Quantities.

It has been abundantly demonstrated by analysis and experience that ashes of mineral coal are practically of no value as fertilizers. although the use of these in finely siftod condition is frequently represented as beneficial. In such cases the benefits are due to the mechanical changes wrought on soils of texture that required some such addition. It 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 chased 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. It is, however, sometimes difficult to do- eide to which of these ingredients tho 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- ton 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 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 compOsitiOl 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 shey are among the most useful, SO, where wood is used for fuel they may be pronounced among the most econom- teal manures. and none should be wasted. but all be saved and applied to the land. Leachcd ashes, though less Nilhttbltf Nbilttit'I ii4poh VI tli'li UT AHiI elements. except loss in their potash and soda. They may also be adyan- tageously applied, and will improve all soils not already saturated with tho principles they contain.
 In general it may be said that h dressing of from twenty tt forty bushels of wood ashes will be beneficial on all soils reduced by cropping, never- ertheless continued yearly applica- tion of ashes without corresponding use of vegetable or barnyard manure would eventually be injurious. For renoyating orchards and for all plants having woody structure ashes will be found useful. As rule aahes will be found most profitable on soils def. cient in potash and for crops that ex. haust the land of this ingredient.
 The relative proportions of the alkar lies in the composition Of the ash of a number of the ordinary crops is con. clsely stated by Johnson as follows: ce"eals (grain), 3o; Leguma5 (ker. nclel A.; root crops (roots), 60; grass in loWrr, 33 The above may serve to indicate i" >ot..c nl",,,i,c the crop, ,N when a~ m br luast prohlaJ.! appuel. .. !.

FARM AND PRESIDE.

Poultry at certain seasons arc sometimes over-stimulated by high feeding to make them lay. It must be remembered that fowls can be injured In this way.
 If a fruit tree is not bearing as 1t should, stir the soil well and apply dressing of rotten manure. II, in few days after, dressing of wood ashes can be put on it will make 1t 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 coals. 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, a 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.
 It costs about two and a half cents week to feed hen, says a core 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 q hen lays two eggs a week, one paying for her food and the other being profit, obviously, if she lays four eggs in a 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 platter or dish, where the gravy is poured over them. A sprig or two of parsley may be laid around each tomato as a gar nish. The tomatoes themselves may also be used as garnish for meat baked in the same pan or separately Christian Union.
 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 hurry. It is better to put in layer of about two and a halt feet and then let it ferment till the temperature rises to about l30 degs, and then add another layer, and so on. till the silo is full. In this way extra expense for help is avoided. Dairy 1 World

1t is estimated now, that the cash value

fully s1OO, 100000, and the figures on
which this estimate is made are reasOna-

275, ,000, 600 bushels, which, on an average
of 20 cents-a low price-would aggre-
gate $55, 900, 900. The wheat crop aggre-
gates at least 81, ,OOO, 900 bushels. and, at
average of 80 cents-a low price-would
be S17,OOO.O0O. The oat crop is at least
so. .OOO, 900 bushels, and at Is cents per

Farm Mortgages.

The American Wool Reporter Of Sept.
5, says: For some time past investors
were brought to look with some::disfavor
on farm mortgages. The causes Of this
were various. The fault lay partly with
the loan agents. partly with unscrupulous
spectators, who would secure on piece
of land and few Improvements as large
sum Of money as possible, and then de-
sert, leaving the land uncared for. Then
came failures Of crops, with delayed in
terest payments, and with all these there
is little reason that the credit Of this line
Of investments was not shaken some.
A general error::prevails as to the ex-
tent Of the farm mortgages in this state.
A considerable portion of our mortgage
debt is for purchase money. and con-
siderable portion represents improve
ments on the land; a very inconsidera-
BILE portion is for borrowed money to
pay living expenses or past due debts,
and again in this relation Kansas will
lose nothing in comparison to other
states. The number of farm mortgages
has been largely over estimated. A pres
ident of prominent mortgage loan COM
pany recently said that there were but
few farmers who were mortgaged. His
estimate of the proportion was as low as
one IN twenty for Shawnee county, and
while other counties might have a
greater proportion than this, he asserted
that the propertion.was far below the
general opinion.

amount of taxable property. 1t is set
