ALLIANCE men Of Republican
procIivities need to be careful In

The following poem of three stanzas
Of four lines each has often been alluded
to as one Of the most unique of literary
curiosities Each stanza contains every
letter in the alphabet except the letter
i'e, which all printers will tell you is
one of the most indispensable of the let
tiers, its relative proportion of use being
120 times to A, k s, IL and 40.
The one coming next to ''e' in number
Of times of use is ''a,' which is used
eighty times while the letter in question
is being used 100 times.
The poem which has caused the above
depression is entitled;
THE FATE OF NASSAU.
Bold Nassau quits his caravan,
A hazy mountain grot to scan:
Climbs jaggy roofs to spy his way.
Doth tax bis sight but far doth stray,
Not work of man nor sport of caild

But proving wolf ana fox may joy

rRErAnE FOR SPRING WORK.

Arrangements may be made in the fall
and during winter that will enable far
mers and gardeners to begin spring work
promptly, as early as the season permits,
and prosecute it rapidly. 1t has been
well said that it is advantageous to begin
field work early in the spring. There is
always more thin enough work to do in
the spring, and the earlier cultivators
can begin the better they can do che
work. The earlier the ground is fitted
and the seed planted, the longer will be
the growing season for the crop. Field
work can be begun early in the spring if
we are careful now to have the outlets
of all drains freely open and keep them
open during the winter. Further, rather
level fields not thoroughly drained
should have burrows drawn across them,
following the natural decline. Fall plow-
ing should be continued as long as prac-
ticable, and thus lessen the labors of
spring, when time will be far more yalu-
able than it is at this season.-NeN

rNLEAcHED WOOD ASHES.

Canada unleached wood ashes are
usually guaranteed to contain six per
cent. of potash. AS stated by the chemist
of the New Jersey experiment station
in a bulletin recently issued, the average
composition of eleven samples of ashes
previously analysed is. Phosphoric acid,
LIS per cent. potash, 5. IS per cent, and
lime, 30. 60 per cent. That ashes are not
a uniform product is evident from the
variations shown in SIX other samples by
an analysis that is given. The selling
price OF five of these samples Is stated in
the bulletin at SIS, $3.50, $13, Si4
and $3.50 per ton, respectively. But
two of the samples were as good as the
average, nor is the highest selling pfice
attached to the best sample.
The amount Of plant food elements
contained In an average sample of hes,
according to the bulletin referred to, can
be bought Tor about 50 per ton. 1t is
the general experience, however, that il
certain soils the agricultural effect of the
phosphonc acid, potash and lime is
greater in wood ashes than in a PRO,
portionate mixture of the same element
in other forms. This is believed to h..
due to the special form of combination
Of the ingredients in ashes, which, ia
addition to their direct benefit, exert -,
favorable mechanical effect upon the soil.

Farmers so fortunate as to possess
forest lands or wood lots, can draw upon
them to advantage at this season. Early
winter is very favorable time to fell
trees enough for a years supply of
fencing material and firewood. The sap
is now dormant and the wood seasons
without checking, proves more durable
when needed for timber, and gives out
more heat when burned. Advantage
should be taken of the first good fall of
snow to haul whatever may be ready to
the woodpile or the sawmill. Other
profitable work may be done in the
wood lot. For example, good oak hick-
DRY, ash and elm sticks, may be secured
for wagon poles, stanchions, pillow beams,
beetles and mauls, hay poles. and many
other purposes. These things are handy
to have IN hand, well seasoned for use,
when wanted. And while the ground is
bare leaves may be gathered for litter
and protecting celery of half-hardy
plants; but this leaf gathering is said to
be detrimental to the growing timber,
and should be avoided by those whose
wood lots are limited in area or lack
thriftncss of growth. Trenton az Jl

Speaking of the wonders of the Nile,
the Illustrated american says: "And of
