The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1891-06-05

In a report on experiments made at the
as a fertilizer, it is pointed out that
ground bone is both phosphate and a
heterogeneous manure, insoluble in water,
but when in the soil is decomposed, and
yields its constituents to the feeding
plant in proportion to the fneness. 1t
varies but little in composition. and
is less liable to adulteration than most
fertilizers. They. in fact. are usually
pure.
Ground bones have tendency to cake,
and to avoid this the manufacturers may
use other substances, which, while aid
ing mechanically, reduce the chemical
value of the mixture Raw bone is most
usually pure, but the fat it contains rem
ders 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 hneness, a
mechanical as well as chemical analysis
is required to determine their value.
The farmer must determine by crop
tests which grade he should buy-wheth-
or. for example ray dollar for ten
pounds Of phosphoric acid in one condi-
tion. or for eighteen and a half pounds
aic worth nine dollars per ton, but the
| best vary considerably.

There is another and equally important
cause of mental depression and physical
Reorganization as is that Of overeatng,
and lack of sufficient exercise. This is
the constant application to occupation
which is in vogue in this country. Men
and women alike, since women are for
midable competitors of men in profess
sional pursuits, have practice of going
on in the same treadmill manner, year
after year, without any lapse for rest.
We live in this country at too high a
pressure, in business sense. Men en-
gage of course in business, more actively
and in greater numbers than women, yet
being brought into so close contact with
the former, women naturally absorb
not only personal interest, but are often
plunged into its vortex, and become az
bound up by its demands as the mer
themselves
It is not unusual, in fact, for women
to assume and carry out the management
of the counting room, Office and store a.
we'll as the household. The strain o!
these demands upon the system is nat
nrally very great under the most favor
able conditions, when the body is nur
tured and rested in reasonable manner

WHEN TO CUT GRASS.
How to Mako the Rest Hay for Mich
Cows,

How to Mako the Rest Hay for Mich
Cows
The usual time for cutting grass is 10
late in the year that most Of the juicy,
succulent portions of it have escaped, and
cows will avoid 1t even when it is grow
ing in the field They will leave the
patches Of full grown grass and search
for that of Younger growth, Every
dairyman knows what difference the
early pastures have upon the milk flow,
and how, later in the season, when the
grass becomes mature, the milk and but
ter lose that first fine fragrance and su-
perior favor. All of this argues that
grass loses much of its valuable parts
for the dairyman after it has reached a
certain stage of maturity. We cannot
expect hay made from such grass to be
any better The fine quality in the but
ter which fresh spring grass produces
cannot be obtained in tho winter from
cows fed on such overripe hay.
The cutting and curing of hay earlier
in the season will save for the cows a
great deal of this mysterious substance
which affects the milk so favorably.
The haying season for the dairyman
should not be the same rs that now
adopted by general consent by farmers
who raise it for the markets or for gen.
eral stock There is no special week or
month in which hay should be cut and
cured The cows will be the monitors
When they seem to like it the most it
should be cut before it has time to lose
this fine, succulent flavor This neces-
states early harvesting. and it also de-
mands a repetition of it. Three cuttings
may be obtained from one field in a sea-
son, or two cuttings at tho least. 1t is
doubtful then if there is any loss sus-
tanned in quality if two or three cuttings
are taken from the field.
The dairyman, to get the best winter
hay then, should cut his grass before it
has headed or blossomed. This may not
be the best hay for stock of general
nature, but it is certainly the ideal dairy
mans winter fodder. American Guilt

PROTECTORS AGAINST CUCUMBER BEETLES
along its back, which attacks squashes,
cucuinbers. melons and similar plants.
A large proportion of these remedies are
doubtless worthless, if. indeed, not posi-
lively injurious
Obviously the only safe plan to pre-
vent injury is to fence out the insects.
Of the various forms of apparatus for
this purpose are the ones shown in the
accompanying cuts from American Gar
den The simplest method, and one
largely practiced in some of the great
melon growing sections, is that of laying
a piece of thin cloth over the hills before
the plants are up covering the edges OF
it with loose earth This works very
well while the plants are young, but is
liable to cripple them if left on too long.
To obviate this difficulty Professor
Weed, of the Ohio experiment station,
tried various methods of holding the
cloth up in the middle One of the sim
plest and perhaps most satisfactory
methods. according to his experiments,
is to take two pieces of wire and put
their ends in the ground so as to form a
| double arch. like the center arch of a
croguet ground Over this the cloth is
laid, the edges being held down by loose
earth as before, and as shown in Fig. d.
| Or the wires may be twisted around each
other as shown III Fig. 3; or single long
wire may be bent as shown in Fig. l..
A half barrel hoop makes very good
substitute for the wire. as may be seen
in Fig. s.
The best cloth found for the purpose is
the lightest grade of plant cloth sold by
seedsmen This can be purchased in
quantity for three or four cents yard,
and one set of covers properly cared for
ought to last at least three seasons.
After they have been used on the early
squashes and melons they are ready for
| the late cucumbers They require little
storage room between seasons.
Professor Weed also tried boxes COW

many of them would inquire. I had q
shop of my own at this time, and there
built the first horse car. 1t was run for
the first time in 1881, from Prince street,
in the Bowery, to Fourteenth street.
This car had three compartments of ten
seats each, entrance being had from the
sides. On the top there were also three
rows of seats, facing back and front,
seating thirty persons.-John Stephen

He Was just Full Enough to Telegraph
His Wife.

Ills WIFE,
He was tall, good looking man,
with regular features, and was dressed
in the height of fashion, but he was
awfully drunk, says the Portland
Oregonian. He came from the East
a few days ago aud registered at an
up town hotel. Immediately he went
on ''tear." The clerk, who knew
him in the East, relieved him of an
$500 gold watch and about $1,000 in
currency and locked them in the coin
box for safe keeping. This happened
while the fellow was about half sober.
Then he went off and imbibed some
more, and when he strolled into the
hotel office few hours later he was
able to see the clerk, but that was
about all.
81 want to send a telegram to my
wife," he began.
"iiave you the money to pay for
it ?" asked the clerk.
"No. You have my money in the
safe, and you pay for it,
'Indeed | will not" returned the
clerk.
Then followed a noisy wrangle be-
tween the clerk and the fellow, which
the latter broke off abruptly, and,
putting his thumbs in the armholes of
his vest, walked about the corridor
and told the occupants of the chairs
what shame it was that man could
not telegraph to his wife; that she
was peculiar woman and would not
come west with him; that he was
a weak man and could not keep sober
unless she was with him. This, of
course, amused the listeners. This
went on for 20 minutes. Then the
man returned to the desk in a more
pacific mood and the clerk accommo-
dated him. After great deal of
talking the telegrrm was finally writ.

Correspondence.

Arlington, VT, May 20.
Editor SITTER Some time ago l
noticed in the SITTER that a cores
pondent from Londonderry and one
from Bondville claimed that justice
should be done the drafted man that
paid $500 by refunding the same with
interest, and l have watched the col
umns of your paper since with inter-
est hoping to hear others express their
views on the subject but not seeing
any venture few of my own. AT
the time of the draft was personally
acquainted with many of the drafted
men, knew their circumstances then,
and know them now. One young
man when drafted was doing a flour
fishing business and had his thousands.
He stepped up and paid his $500
manfully and today he is living on
the charity of the people, through no
fault of his own but by being taxed
heavily to raise enormous sums to
procure substitutes TO save his neigh
bors from draft, and poor health
brought him where he is. Others at
the time were poor and in debt and
had hard work to borrow the money
to pay their Communication, paying
heavy interest for the same and today
are paying interest on the same money
having barely the necessaries of life
with few luxuries. 1t was necessary
for the government to have both men
and money to carry on the war and
they took such methods as they saw
fit to procure them both. They call
ed upon the states for men and they
received them; they called upon the
states for money and received it, the
direct tax. In 1868 they called upon
the states for men or money or both
through a draft and they received
both, some of the drafted men enter
ing the service and others paying
their direct tax of $500. The men
that entered the service have been
dealt with literally, the direct tax
paid by the states Or in lieu, thereof,
collected of wealthy individuals or
corporations has been refunded but
the direct tax paid by the drafted
men of $500 each has not been re-
funded. Why is this ? Is it simply
neglect or is it because it is right to
refund the direct tax paid by states
or corporations that are rich and able
to pay the same and not right to re.
fund the direct tax of $500 paid b,
the drafted man that is unable to beal
the burden. If this is so it is beyonC
my comprehension. Mr.. Editor
hope to hear through your paper tn,
views upon this Subject Of every love
of justice or at least everyone tina
reads the SITTER.
Yours truly,
