pr,,ne Herbs for future Use.


Herbs that are to be preserved should
be collected as soon as they begin TO

and moisture deposited on them have
evaporated Il is better to dry them in
the shade. in situation where they are
in a current of dry air, rather than in

Parental Friendship.

1t is hardly possible to overestimate
the eject Of home training upon our ma
tional and social well-being. The lessons
of the nursery, often held of slight &c
count, come at length to form the uncon-
scious life Of society, and tits, generally
speaking, not too much to say that, as is
the character of our homes, so will be the
character of our nation, with its govern
men, its politics, its manifold industries.
OF all education, therefore, that which
has for its object the right fulfillment of
parental duties, would seem among the
most important. Yet, as general thing,
that relation is entered upon with only
crude and desultory ideas of the princi-
Piles involved and, while intelligence
and experience slowly bring measure
of wisdom, it often comes too late for the
most pressing necessities.
One Of the most important requisites
Of home life, and one perhaps most fie-
quently overlooked, is the intimacy that
should exist between the parent and the
child. This is, indeed, the foundation on
which all good influences may be most
securely laid. The control which is OBJ
tanned through fear, or force, or bare au-
thority, has nothing abiding in it. Just
as soon as the fear is ontgrown, or the
force removed, its power will pass away.
But the influence which is at work where
real sympathy and friendship exist be-
tween parents and children will enter as
powerful factor into the whole life.
The friendship which should uuderlie
This relation is not that of equals; it has
different root and bears very different
fruit. The authority of the parent, wise
ly and lovingly exercised, the obedience
Of the child, gladly and freely rendered,
are both essential TO the growth of this
peculiar friendship. II they are sacri-
feed to any false notion of liberty, or to
any selfish loye of ease, the whole fabric
totters and falls. Yet that they may
rightfully fill their offices, there must be
firm, staunch, and loving loyalty and
fidelity, each TO each. The plrent must
truly sympatize in all the childs expert
ences and feelings; the child must look
up with fullest confidence and loving
trust to the parent as his best friend. No
pretense of sympathy, no protestation of
friendship will avail. There must be
honest and genuine feelings, tenderly ex-
pressed, not in words alone, but in all
the involuntary and spontaneous action
of daily life. Founded on such an inti-
macy, and upheld by such principle, the
homes of our land will indeed minister,
as nothing else can, to the happiness of
society, and the welfare of our natl onai
life.

Storks in Rural Home.


Every one knows that the Stork is al
most SUI er titiously beloved by the peas
ants of Northern Germany and the Low
Countries, and that iron SUPPORTS upon
which he may build his nest are set on
cottage gables in the belief that here a
he has his brood FIRE will never come.
Nevertheless, travellers are often surprised
when they see how tame the great birds
become, following the agriculturist
through the field and furrow, and often
sleeping on the tall, red leg, close to
where he is at work and within sound Of
the rumble Of the passing railroad train.
So fond is the Dutchman Of having storks
about him, indeed, that he makes provis-
ion for its nests even in the center Of his
b1lb-felds. Here one NAV often see slen-
d r poles some twenty OF thirty feet in
| myth, supported by braces and bearing
at the top a small round platform similar
ly strengthened On these the storks
build their nests and here they erch, like
sentinels, protecting the beautiful crops.

Value Of cleser IS a FertIIIzor

Some idea Of the value Of cioTer as a
sertiIizing cror may be eobt4ined from the
experiments of Prof Iawes, . Distinguish
ed agricultural chemist in Englaad- Ac-
corlinz 70 a carefa. analysis foade by
him. the manure from ton Of straw i
worth als.ut $2n0-saking tee value Of
chemicsl fertilizers as basis. The ma
nure from a ton Of clover hay is worth
little mon. than sa--or more than three
times as much.
The value Of any yard manure depends
mainly upon The amount of potash, nj
trogen aud phosphofic acid It contains,
the carbonaceous or woody matter being
USUALLY in excess Of that required BY the
soil; excepting, perhaps, on sandy land
that has been long cultivated without
stable manure.
According to Prof Dawes, ton of or
dinary barnyarl manure contains eight
pounds nitrogen, eleven pounds potash
and four pounds phosphoric acid while
ton Of manure made from clover hay
contains about twenty pounds Of nitro
gen, sixteen pounds of potash and about
six pounds Of phosphoric acid. Nitrogen
being the highest priced constituent, 1t
will be seen at once how much more val
uable is manure made from clover shan
from straw or other hay.
In explanation of the above calcula-
tions. it should be understood that the
value Of the elements contained in eio-
yer for fertilizing purposes are based up
on the price which those same elements
sell for in New England when compound
ed in artificial nianures. Eor instance,
pound Of nitrogen costs in New York II
cents. A pound Of this element ought
certainly to be worth just as much when
found in clover as it is when foand in ar
tifcial manure
The simple question for the intelligent
farmer to solve is "If can afford TO
pay seventeen cents for pound Of nitro
gen. can not afford to grow clover and
put nitrogen into the soil in that way?'
Still more, can not the farmer afford to
buy and use common land plaster in his
stables to absorb the ammonia which is
nitrogen This would seem to be a plain
conmon-sense way Of looking at il, and
all there is to the highest science is plain
hard sense in the end.
