Making Tobacco Harmless.

From The Philadelphia Inquirer
'Very few smokers realize the extent of the
harm done to the mouth, heart, and nerves by
tobacco" says well-known physician who has
just returned from the Berlin Medical Congress.
"When was in Europe learned of a simple
and effective method of rendering tobacco en-
The method Was by Dr. t Of
Vichy, and 1t should be regarded as a priceless
boon to smokers. 1t consists of a small piece of
cotton wool stepped in or 10 per cent solu-
tion of pyrogallic acid inserted in pipe or cigar
holder. This will neutralize any possible III eff
fects of the nicotine. In this way not only may
the generally y-admitted evils of smoking be over
come, but cirrosis of the liver, which is some
times caused by tobacco, and lighter effects of
of the tongue, may be avoided. Citric acid,
which was recommended by Vigier for the same
purpose, has the serious disadvantage of spoil
ing the taste of the tobacco"

The first three elements named
nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash
are the only ones really valuable as
plant food in the fertilizer. Most
soils contain plenty of soda, while if
it is desired to add lime, it can be OBJ
tanned cheaper in the form of pure
lime. Magnesia has little value plant
food, but to what extent sulphuric
acid has a favorable or unfavorable
action in the soil is not thoroughly
known. Chlorine, however, is harm
full, if present to excess. The sand
and insOluble matter has no value,
and the grease and other organic
matter (that is, stuff that is consumed
by fire. has no value as a fertilizer,
being composed of oil, carbon, hydro
gen, oxygen, etc. This shows how it
is impossible to make a high grade
fertilizer without its containing these
other materials. 1t explains also how
it is that a high grade, pure, unadul-
terated special fertilizer may contain
in one ton only 400 to 500 lbs. of the
three principle elements of plant food.

Do Not Let the Farm Run Down.

Cor. Country Gentleman.
The fertility of the soil is the farm>
er's capital on this depends largely
his success or failure, and his great
anxiety should be how best to keep
it up TO the highest point, at the
least expense. 1t is a well known
fact that it is much easier to keep it
up as we go along, than, after it has
been allowed to run down, to make
spasmodic efforts to restore its former
vigor. 1t does not pay to raise small
crops of any kind medium crops
may just pay expenses, while that
part of large crop which is in ex-
cess Of the medium crop, is nearly all
profit. Hence we know where to
look for our profit, and study to de-
wise the best means of enriching our
lands at the least expense. There
are several ways suggested. One
man feeds stock another plows clO-
yer under /; another buys commercial
fertilizers. The western man uses
up all the fertility of the soil, and
then goes farther west to repeat the
process. | have e e something of
this system, having known lands in
Central Illinois which a few years
ago produced 100 bushels of ears of
corn, and which now produce bat Is
bushels in a favorable season. They
tell as that this soil will never wear
out l know of none that wears out
quicker.
The same is the case in our eastern
States. The writer was on some
New-England farms some months
ago, that had once been the home of
thrifty but im~provident people. The
life of the land was gone families
were separated, and there was a dull
prospect for a young man to begin
life on such an impoverished farm,
so these bright boys from the New
England hill-sides seek other and
more lucrative avocations. They are
full of energy and vitality, Injured to
the rigor of the climate, and the
rough, hard, land. Agriculture can
not affold to sacrifice such men. If
farmers wish to keep their sons at
home, they must keep up the fertili-
ty of the soil.
Stock feeding is one of the most
important branches of farming, and
requires much judgment, care and
attention. A prominent man said
that to be successful with flowers you
must love flowers, and so to be suc>
cessful with stock you must love
stock. The venerable John johnson

The Weight of Earth Worms.

Darwin estimated that worms, by
swallowing earth for the sake Of the
vegetable matter it contains and
forming castings, bring to the surface
as much as ten tons of earth per an
mum on an acre. Worms are great
promoters of vegetation by boring,
perforating, and ~loosening the soil,
and rendering it pervious to rain and
the fbers of plants, by drawing
straws and stalks of leaves and twig>
into it, and, most of all by throwing
up such infinite numbers of Jumps OF
earth called worm casts, which form
a fine manure for grain and grass.
The earth without worms would
soon become cold, hardbOund, void
of fermentation, and consequently
sterile; this has occurred in many
cases where the worms have been
either accidently or Intentionally
destroyed, and the fertility Of the
soil thus lost has only been rest0reo
when the worms had again collected
and resumed their fertilizing work.

stances contain that make up three
fourths of the bulk of the fertilizer s:
Let us see We all know what bone
neal is like. We know that it is
phosphate of lime, or phosphoric acid
combined with lime, and that it also
contains a little nitrogen. The chem
lists tell us that in 100 lbs. of bone
there are about "a lbs. of phOsphoric
acid, 81 lbs Of lime, 4 lbs. of nitrogen,
II lbs. of water; grease and other or
ganic matters % lbs, magnesia 1 h.,
sand and insoluble matter 1 lbs, total
100 lbs. While, therefore, the bone
meal contains only "A lbs. of phOs-
phoric acid and 4 lbs. of nitrogen, it
is in no wise adulterated, but rather
is of very high quality. Just so it is
impossible to get pure nitrogen in the
form of sulphate of ammonia, 100 lbs.
of which will contain about % 1-2

who freely rendered him all the
funds he desired to buy stock With.
After securing an immense crop Of
corn, he fed it to stock and made an
other great quantity of valuable ma
nure, and so on, year after year. Mr..
j. has fed thousands Of sheep and
vast numbers ofcattle. 1t has been
stated that in Is years of sheep feed
ing, buying in the fall and selling in
the winter or spring, he never but
once failed in getting pay for his
feed and a handsome profit on the in
vestment. This shows that his judgs
ment must have been superior, and
that the stock had his personal and
undiv ided attention.
A wealthy stock farmer in Pensyl,
wanna once told the writer that O.,e
drove of cattle will half feed the
next; meaning that by applying the
manure from one lot of cattle to the
ground intended for corn, the crop
would be much larger, that this in>
creased yield would cost almost moth
ing, while the extra burden Of stalks
would certainly make the Increase a
donation year after year. After the
farm has become rich, it costs almost
nothing to feed stock, as they will
live on the surplus. | believe it costs
so cents per bushel to raise corn,
when you only raise so bushels Of
ears to the acre, but when $50 bushel:
are raised, the cost is reduced to les,
than 10 cents per bushel. w. ii. NJ

N ERVOUS DISEASES.

As cure for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been able
to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and harmless in
all its effects upon the Youngest child or the oldest and most delicate individ-
ual. Nmetenths of all the ailments to which the human family is he'll, arc
dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired digestion. When there san
insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood, q general state of debility Of
the brain, spinal marrow and nerves is the result. Starved nerves, like
starved muscles, become strong when the right Kind of food is supplied, and
a thousand weaRnessesa and ailments disappear as the nerves recover. As tho
nervous system must supply all the power by which the vital forces Of the
body are carried on, it is the first to suffer for want Of perfect nutrition.
Ordinary food does not contain a sufficient quantity Of the kind of nutriment
necessary to repair the wear our present mode Of living and labor imposes
upon the nerves. For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be
supplied. This recent production Of the South American Continent has been
found, by analysis, to contain the essential elements out of which nerve tissue
is formed. This accounts for its magic power to cure all forms of nervous

through the sod the roots reach out
