REIrKR RESTORED TO FAvoR.-It appears that
Commander Reiter, who was involved in the
Barruandia affair, is to be restored to favor.
Because the commander did not protect Gen.
Barrundia he was displaced from the command
Of his ship, the Ranger, and received q sharp
letter Of reprimand from Secretary Tracy.
That was November 6, last year, and since
that date the commander has been sojournins
at his home in Pittsburg, under waiting
orders. 1t is understood that he is to be given
command of the Thetis, now at Mare Island,
Cal, under command Of Lieut.. Commander
Stockton. The vessel is being fitted out fof

"In report on experiments made
at the New Jersey station with ground
bones as 6 fertilizer. 1t is pointed out
that ground bone Is both a phosphate
and heterogeneous manure, insoluble
in water, but when in the soil is de-
composed and yields its constituents
to the feeding plant in proportion to
the fineness It varies but little in
composition and Is less liable to adul-
teration than most fertilizers They
in fact are usually pure Ground
bones have a tendency TO cake, and to
avoid this the manufacturer may use
other substances which. while aiding
mechanically, reduce the chemical
value OF the mixture Raw bone is
most usually pure but the fat 1t con-
tains renders it less easily decomposed.
Bones having served the purpose OF
the glue maker are low in nitrogen and
very high in phosphoric acid. The
method now employed OF steaming the
bones under pressure improves their
quality without altering the amount OF
the plant food ingredients As the
value Of ground bones depends upon
composition and their fnOnesS a me-
chanical as well as q chemical analysis
is required to determine their value.
The farmer must determine by crop
tests which grade he should buy
whether. for example, pay dollar for
ter fDunds Of phosphoric acid in one
condition, or for eighteen and half
pounds in another form. Average wood
ashes are worth 50 per ton, but the
best vary considerably"
Much is being said by our exchanges
(the above is from one) in regard TO
the use Of bone meal as fertilizer all
Indicating q very general desire t.
see the great mass OF farmers follow
in the footsteps of their more favore'
brethren. who with more available
means have been able to procure and
use It for years. Perhaps no availah'
means could be employed that would
better develop worn out pastures, than
200 pounds of bone meal to the acre.
and its effects would be apparent fer
many years. But in addition to the
pasture and grass crops. it is available
for and beneficial to wheat corn. po-
tato and many others. and has like
durable effects.

that the damage done to hides by the

larger than is generally believed. One
OF the strongest arguments advanced
against dehorning cattle is that Nature
made them with horns and had her
own reasons for it which should be
above criticism. But Nature made
the beasts in a wild state, when they
needed some means OF protecting
themselves from wild animals; but
