Nitrate of Soda as a Top Dressing for
Cnttnu.

In reply to correspondent the South
ern Cultivator says: AS general prop
osition we do not believe it is true that
fifty pounds of nitrate soda will in
crease the yield two to three hundred
pounds. 1t would depend on the char
acter of the soil and the amount and
character of the fertilizers that may
have been applied to the land in the
spring. If the soil has been largely
deprived of vegetable matter by con-
tinuous cropping land thereby exhaust
ed of its nitrogen), and no fertilizer
was applied in the spring, or fer
tilizer containing nitrogen was APP
piled, then an application of nj
trate of soda would very likely prove
decidedly beneficial. The benefit, how
ever, can not be stated in such definite
terms, but will depend upon the con-
tingencies we have named. 1t would
be very easy matter to test it by
actual experiment, on sets Of rows Ct
uniform quality, and repeated several
different plans. Take plat Of, say
three cotton rows; carefully sow broad
cast on these rows at the rate of fifty
pounds of the nitrate of soda, going over
at least twice, so as to distribute uni
formilY. Leave the next three rows
without top dressing, then three rows
with nitrate again, and so on as long as
may be convenient. Let the cultiva-
tion be precisely similar. You will
then note the results with care, and
will have positive answer to your
question

The Profit From Pigs.

The profits from pigs is largely de.
termined by the treatment they receive
Immediately after weaving time. The
best plan to adopt is to commence feed
ing several days before weaving, giving
bran mixed with milk, which should
be allowed to stand. Provide a trough
in place where the pigs can run into
and eat by themselves undisturbed, and
they will soon learn to eat aVd get ac-
customed to their changed diet A good
orchard is the very best place for grow
ing pigs. If there is a good supply Of
grass, small quantity of bran and
milk will keep them in good order.
There is danger Of pigs getting
stunted at this time, and it is almost inn
possible to correct the mischief. At
this season the faster the growth with
the pigs the larger will be the profit,
and the period from now onward until
real hot weather sets in is tho very best
time to secure healthy growth. With
young pigs, if they have plenty of good
green clover or lucerne, there is little
danger of overlooking; but it is never
a good plan to give stock of any kind
more than they can clear up comfort
ably. So with pigs, it is better to find
out just what they want and give them
so much. Rural World

A MARVELLOUS FASTER.
A French Widow VINO Says She Has Bee

A French Widow VINO Says She Has Been
without Food For Nine Years.
The little town of Bourdeilles, in
Perigorl, France, is becoming famous
through woman named Zelie Bourivu,
who pretends to have tasted for nine
years and who is now actually undergo
ing a sixty-day fast, under scientific
precautions against fraud. The woman
is the widow of farmer, of Paussap-
Saint-yivien, named Guillame Garron,
by whom she had four children, all now
dead. The death of her husband was
the beginning of her fast. She is a
brunette with brilliant eyes and excess
sive nervousness. She has lived since
her alleged fasting began under the care
of DIR. Lafon, who says that he visited
her frequently, and, while unable to say
that her story was untrue, doubted il
very much, and endeavored frequently
to induce her to submit to a systematic
course of observations that would scien.
tifically test her claim. she always
refused, and this confirmed the
doctor in his suspicion that the
woman was me. ely an ordinary
hysterical, and perhaps unconscious
fraud. Last month, however, she vol.
UNFAIRLY offered to submit to the closest
surveillance the doctor might wish ia
place upon her, and the present tests
were begun. The doctor declares that
he took every precaution against trick
cry or deceit For three weeks the
woman has remained under guard in a
place where no one is allowed to bring
solid food of any sort. She has drank
only little water in which toast had
been dissolved, which she rejected al
once, and has sucked, once day, bill
of orange to take the bad taste from hel
mouth. DR.. Laion proposes to keep hel
under guard for sixty days HEDGES no
attempt to explain the case, but has re
ferred it to Drs. Charcot and Ball, we'll
known specialists in nervous diseases.
The opinion of the neighbors of th'
faster is divided concerning her. Som,
believe implicitly that she is as she pre-
tends to be, under Divine inspiration
and are expecting other miracles from
her in due time. Others believe her
rather, to be possessed of the devil

There is really a vast difference, al.

frequent either, that the stills mistake
themselves for wings, and attempt lofty
flights which end in precipitous and
sudden downfalls. The clear, upper

tanned by the wings, without conscious
effort, and the painful exertions of the
stills, One says painful exertions ad'
visedly. For:
All aspiration is toll;
But inspiration cometh from above
And is no labor.
Trouble and discord and painful labor
lie in the region limited to the stills;
but when the wings are achieved-for
all higher growth of which the winged
motion is typical is an achievement Of
the spirit-when the wings are achieved,
and the higher spaces are opened to our
vision. harmony succeeds discord. hap.
piness crowds out all remembrance Of
trial. This is the motive of life-to
rise, not on stills that are limited to
earth by material things that are un-
certain and unreliable, but to rise on
wings, as typeled by faith, and love,
and courage, and sweetness of spirit,
that not only endureth, but overcometh
all limitations and all obstacles.
We rise by the things that are under our feet
BY what we have mastered of good and gain
or the pride deposed and the passion slain,
And the vanquished i'll that We hourly meet.
To endure is the first step, perhaps
a preliminary and rudimentarv stage of
life; but to overcome is something far
more, and it is only that faith and cour.

transmute stills into wings-that is the

Mr. This Was Sarcasm.

At late meeting of Latham Alli-
ance 1871, of Butler County, Kas., the
following negative but expressive reso-
luton was humorously offered by the
secretary. E.. w. Smith, and unan-
imously rejected:
WHEREAS, The Alliance members are con-
stantly being advised by the old party press
that 1t would be detrimental to the farmers
movement to refrain from voting with their
old parties, because the farmers deliver

of the two old parties, and, furthermore, IL
is against the fundamental principles OF the

Alliance, No. lsl, act and work apart as we
have done in the past by voting as we are in

together to accomplish the same results, but
they can not work together for each others

Contagious Blood Diseases.

The horror of blood diseases is the fact
that they are contagious. Eczema, Salt
rheum, Itch, and other skin diseases may
be contracted by using the same towel, and
thus it frequently happens g whole family
becomes affected with the disease some
member has contracted elsewhere. 1t is
obviously the sacred duty of any one who
suffers from blood disease to rid their sys.
tenn of the impurity. This can easily and
quickly be done by using DR., Bulls Sarsa-
parilla, the only perfectly safe and complete
blood purifier in the world. Its virtue is
exclusively its own, and no other medicine
can compare with it in strength or efficacy.
Any druggist will get it for you. Take no
other. Observe its size and test its virtue.

SPEAK KINDLY TO THE BOYS.

A school teacher, on seeing a
young scholar misbehave, said to
him, Il am sorry you did this, be-
cause | had formed very good
opinion of YOU"
The boy went home, and confess
ed to his mother that, if he had
known what a good opinion his
teacher had held of him, he would
not have done wrong.
Had this teacher said ''Pve had
my eye ON You for sometime, and
now I've caught you, the boy would
simply have been confirmed in his
suspicious that no one expects a
boy to do any thing but the wrong
thing.
1t ought TO be simple matter to
show a child, or man, that our
first impulse toward him is that of
trust rather than distrust. And
when one has gone wrong he will
be better helped by our showing
that we appreciate the fact that he
has gone wrong in spite of the good
we believed him capable of, rather
than in accordance with our suspi-
cions of him.
