About Fertilizers.

farmer.
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, MD,
March goth, 1890.
| Commercial fertilizers are made up
to furnish one, two or all three Of the
essential liant FOODS which are most
likely to be absent from the soil in an
available form for the plant; VIZ: Phos-
phoric acid, Potash and Nitrogen.
Phospho'ic acid is furnished chiefly
by two sources, that Of our mineral sup
ply as furnished by Dissolved South
Carolina Rock or Acid Phosphate and
that of animal origin or as furnished in
Ground Bone, Dissolved Bone Meal
and Dissolved Bone Black. AS far as
experiments 90 there is nothing to
show that the rhosphoric acid of one
source is more valuable to plants than
that from another; so that the question
as to which it is best for the farmer to
purchase must be decided by their rel
alive cots.
Potash is of both mineral and vege-
table origin. The mineral is from the
German potash mines aud includes
"Muria of Potash,' "SuIphate of Pot
ash" aud kalnit;' the potash of vege
table olil in is chiefly furnished by
wocd ashes ard cotton seed hull ash
OF these the muriate is generally to be
preferred as it is the cheapest when
you consider that it is The most concen,

they can lie found pure and sufficiently

Habit That Is Nothing But Bad-In-
trinsically Savage. Unchivalrous and
Unchristian.
The following letter was addressed
by the late Charles Kingsley to public
school-boy, who had put money into
sweepstakes without thinking it was
wrong:
''MY DEAREST Boy: There is mat
ter which gave me much uneasiness
when you mentioned it. You said you
had put into some lottery for the Derby,
and had hedged to make safe. Now all
that is bad-bad, nothing but bad. OF
all habits, gambling is the one hate
most and have avoided most. OF all
habits, it grows most on eager minds.
Success and loss alike make it grow. OF
all habits, however much civilized men
may give away to it, it is one of the
most intrinsically savage. Historically,
it has been the peace excitement of the
lowest brutes in human form for ages
past. Morally, it is unchivalrous and
unchristian. 1. 1t gains money by the
most unjust means, for it takes money
out Of your neighbours pocket withou
giving him any thing in return. 2. 1t
tempts you to use what you fancy your

harm. II you know better than
your neighbor, you are bound
to give him your advice. In

I'm sure, moreover, that the head-mas-
ter would object seriously to any thing
like lottery, betting or gambling. I
hope you have not won. should not

won, l shall not congratulate you. II
you wish to please me, you will give
back to it's lawful owners the money
you have won. If you are loser in

your losses this time. AS you put it,
you could not in honor draw back until
after the event. Now you can give

Dear boys and girls, may say few
'dont's" to you, If I'll be very smiling
and pleasant about it? They are not
agreeable, l know, but like some other
bitter medicine, they may sometimes do
good. So come, all you who are ''will-

the very best of men and women, and
listen to me just for few minutes.
Don't chew gum! 1t hurts you. You
were not made to chew cud like cows,
and any departure from the plan on
which your bodies were made will bring
evil upon you, in some way. 1t may not
make you feel bad in any way, for a
while, but you are opening wide the door
for that terror, king Dyspepsia"
Then, you'll lose your rosy cheeks and
bright eyes; in fact, you will lose all en-
joyment of living. Will the present
pleasure of chewing pay for the future
misery?
And, oh! boys, it will make you an
easy prey to the temptation to chew to-
bacco-it is stepping-stone to tobacco
and that form of temptation is about
hard enough to resist now. Don't make
it any harder.
Don't talk in loud voice on the

CONSERVATISM.

Hold Fast That Which Is GoOd-A Need
full Condition of True Progress.
There is possibly no character less APP
proved by considerable section Of the
community than that of conservative.
"A conservative" once said an ardent
speaker, lis an enemy of the human
race" AS if one might not maintain
conservative views from the purest phil
anthropic motives! But whatever pop
ular Opprobrium may at any time attach
to it, this attitude eminently becomes
the Christian. He is hidden by an
authority he can not disregard: prove
all things; hold fast that which is good. "
He is not restrained from free and crit
ical inquiry, or from testing whatever is
offered for his acceptance. But what by
good warrant is judged to be true, and
what by experience commends itself as
good, is to be held fast. One who has
''tasted the good Word of God" will not
be easily persuaded to renounce it.
The conservative attitude towards the
truth of the Gospel is as far as possible
from the spirit of unreasoning acqui.
essence or uninq uiring ignorance. There
is acquiescence that is due to mere in.
ertia, and is worthy of no respect. The
firm attitude demanded by the Scripture
precept is on ground deliberately chosen
held firmly because held for the Master
and held conscientiously because the
reasonable Judgment and the sense OF
no true progress is attainable. He who
is adding to his faith must be supposed
to retain certain measure of faith. t.
which his new acquisitions are added

pie know. For one thing, it Fuckers up
the lining of your stomachs and tough

derstand, would not help to keep il
healthy. Besides, not containing one
particle of nutriment-but rather poison

As for coffee: 1t is indigestible and
has much the same influence on the
heart as does whisky. 1t weakens them;
and, by and by, you will need all your
strength to bear the strains upon you
which are sure to come.
Don't heat your blood with hot things,
as spices, etc, if you want to keep your
complexion fresh.
Don't, oh! don't rob yourselves of your
necessary sleep; and your necessary
sleep is great deal 1t calls you early
to bed and not too early to rise, IN spite
of the old proverb. There is nothing
that wastes your future vitality SO fast
as lack Of sufficient sleep.

You may violate this, and any of the
laws of health, for awhile, and perhaps,
you will surely suffer for it sometime,
if you live.
Girls, don't use powder on your faces.
That custom is heathenish, relic Of
barbarism! Don't be deceived by the
plea that it will take of the "shine." 1t
is very perverted taste that can think
that death-like, leprous look more beau
tiful than the wholesome "shine" given
| by soap and water.
Don't delude yourselves with the idea
that powder, properly applied, won't
show. 1t always shows, and the results
of its use show. The skin, as you prob
ably know, is full of little pores through
which the insensible perspiration is all
the time passing. If you clog up these
pores with powder, it gives nature a
hard struggle to do her work-which she
must do-and the result, in time, is in
famed and enlarged pores, which cause
the skin to look coarse and red.
Boys, don't adopt the very mistaken
idea that it is manly to smoke and
drink; to treat and use bad words How
is it manly? Any fool can do all that.
1t is the really manly, strong boy who
can refuse and is determined to keep
his lips clean. Will you not try to be
such boys?
And girls, dear girls, don't help boys
to do any Of those evil things. Perhaps
girls are about as much to blame, in such
matters, as the boys. Boys, as rule
want to make themselves agreeable tt
the girls; and there is no surer way, per
haps, to make boy leave of smoking
and kindred habits, than to let him SEE
that his girl friends disapprove of hin

Doing Right.

1t is easy to do wrong when everybody
aroud us is doing wrong, and when no
one seems to think there is any harm In
wrong-doing. 1t is comparatively easy
to do right when everybody around US is
doing right, and when right-doing seems
to be the only thing to be done by any.
body. But it is not SO easy to do right
when everybody around us is doing
wrong, and where our standard Of right
islooked upon by others as wrong instead
of right. Yet in the final test our re-
sponsibility is for our individual action,
whether that action accords or disagrees
with the action of those around us. Our
duty is to do what is right, regardless Of
the opinion or of the course Of our fell
lows. And this it is that makes life the
constant struggle that the well-doer
finds it to be.-S. s. Times.

WISE SAYINGS.

The unrest of this weary world is
its unvoiced cry after God.-Munger.
1t forms part Of true Christianity
to make no great ceremony about our
being Christians. -Rothe.
Work done for God is done for eter-
nifty; little as we may think of it, the
Master will remember it; and He can
make it to be remembered through all
the years of time, through all the ages
OF eternity.-Dr. A. T. Pierson.
This fear of God turns other fears
out Of doors; there is no room for them
where this great fear is; and being
greater than they all, yet it disturbs not
as they do, yea, it brings as great quiet
as they brought trouble.-Leighton.
To worship God and obey His laws
is the most reasonable thing that man
ever did; and not to do this is hence the
most unreasonable course that one ever
pursued. The pious fear Of God is "the
beginning Of wisdom."-N. Y. INDIE
pendent.
If only self could be brought under
control and kept there, the troubles Of
the religious life would be greatly
lessened. The backbitings, envies and
other frictions that disfigure Christian
living, nearly all have their start in
some unrestrained self-consciousness.-
United Presbyterian
The most precious of all possessions
is power over ourselves; power to with
stand trial, to bear suffering, to front
danger; power over pleasure and pain;
power to follow our convictions, how
ever resisted by menace and scorn; the
power of calm reliance in scenes OF
| darkness and storm.-Christian Secre-
tary.
When a man wants to do Gods
work, and to get through with it, what
ever it may cost, he is sure to feel
strength in his heart. He who will
glorify God, whatever it may cost him,
is happy man. He that serves God in
body, soul and spirit to the utmost of
his power, finds new power given him
hour by hour, for God opens to him fresh
springs. -Spurgeon.
Religious consolation-that is to say
consolation and comfort arising from
the Gospel of Christ and available to
the Christian in seasons of trial and suf-
fering-is worth to that Christian all
that it costs to secure it. 1t is the
sweetest balm that can be applied to his
wounded sensibilities, and, at the same
time, the most powerful tonic to
strengthen his patience and endurance.
There is nothing equal to it as relief
to the hearth. Y. Independent
When an agnostic tells you that he
knows nothing of God, you may safely
take his word for it. But when he pre-
tends to argue that you can not know
any thing of a God because he does not
he simply illustrates the density of his
own ignorance. As reasonably might a
Digger Indian on the Western prairies
tell you that you could not possibly
know any thing about the size, distance
or substance of the sun, because the
processes by which information on these
subjects is obtained are utterly beyond
his comprehension. just so, spiritua
truth is beyond the comprehension of al
unspiritually minded man. He has no
