The fertilizing value Of fine bone is
much greater than that Of coarse bone.
The latter may lie in the ground for
wears while very fine bone is readily
iecomposed and taken up by plants
The improved condition and increased
value Of our bone manures is to some
extent a result Of the action Of this
station, which in the year 1879 first
carried into effect the method Of valu-
alton based on the mechanical as well
as the chemical analysis. Nitrogen in
lhe finest bone is now worth 49, cents
per pound, while that in the coarsest
bone is valued only at 81 cents, and
phosphoric acid is valued at and 4
cents in the two grades respectively.
Very finely ground bone is, at present,
one of the cheapest sources Of quickly
available nitrogen and phosphoric acid

The Langshan, as many Of our readers
already know, is large bird, standing
upon somewhat long legs. 1t resembles
in shape the Cochin. 1t is hardy and
easily reared.
The white Langshans-an emanation
from the black Langshans-are now at
tracing the attention Of fanciers, and
being as yet exceedingly scarce, are
counted among novelties California has
the credit Of breeding in its purity the
white Langshan fowl. These birds are
described as being identical in their gen
eral characteristics with the black Lang
shans. The plumage at maturity is a
pure white, although the young chicks
show a blush color on their backs, with
yellowish down on throat and breast.

The OLD MUSIC BOOK.
Turn with silent reverence

turn with silent reverence
It's unknown pages DER;
The dusty lines inspire n sense
OF something heard before.
In days long past In other lands;
OF ancient melodies;
Old harpsichords, and gentle hands
That touched the ivory keys.
The book a hundred fancies warts
on every yellow page,
SolItas quaint, forgotten airs,
The notes all dim with age.
And variations long wove out.
And faded songs and old,
With triils and turnings all about
And graces manifold.
perchance In those old bygo he days
Ny lady sat and played
In broidered stomacher Of maize
And lowered blue brocadc.
Her lissome fingers dancing ran.
Through many a ilorii strain.
Until Miss Bell behind her fan
begged that sweet piece again"
Pcrchance when summer nights were long
And soft winds swept the meadows,
Some amorous youth poured ont this song
To Chloe through the shadows
OK bcaux and bellies Of higher sttts.
In some well TIC pavilion,
Trod graceful through this minuet,
OrhgIred this cotilion.
So vagrant fancies through the mind
Play ltiul now and then,
As, with a smile and sigh combined,
close the book again.
dare not touch rs music old
Tn this rude modern day;
Hallowed by fingers long since cold,
And voices passed away.

A complete manure, as the name
suggests, is complete not only in the
sense of supplying the three most i'm
portant plant food ingredients, viz, nj
trogen, phosphoric acid and potash, but
also in furnishing all the plant food in
gradients in forms adapted to use on all
soils. A complete manure is among
chemical fertilizers what the best stable
manure is among farm manures-name-
Is, supplies all the necessary plant food
ingredients, being unlike plain super
