success by the sole use Of fertilizers. But
yet it is a doubtful thing to recon-
mend, because so many conditions may
prevail that might prevent success.
When loss would be ruinous, as IN this
case, any unqualified advice would be
ill-judged. All that can DO said safely
is that 1t has been done, and in this
way: The quantity Of mineral elements
taken from the soil being known, it is a
mere matter of calculation to apply to
the soil the fertilizers called for, and to
use them in the ordinary manner.
For instance, thirty bushels of wheat
being desired, and it being known that
| this quantity of grain with the straw
takes from the soil forty-tive pounds of
nitrogen, which is equivalent to nearly
fifty pounds of ammonia; twcnty-three
pounds OF potash, which is equal to sixty
pounds of the muriate of potash; about
twenty-five pounds of phosphoric acid,
which is equal to $50 pounds of the
best superphosphate; all the other Gle.
ments required are supplied with these
fertilizers. Three hundred pounds of
nitrate of soda would supply the nitrogen
required in another and perhaps the best
form. Now, it is to be supposed that
the soil will contain some fertility that
would make up for any possible failure
that might occur with the fertilizers,
aud thus the expected results are reason
able to be looked for.
But 1t may turn out that some adverse
circumstances may occur and disappoint-
ment result. This is the uncertainty
that may mar all ones hopes, and the
contingency is to be prepared for. Can
this be met without Inconvenience This
question is the main consideration which
renders it so difficult to give any GER
tain advice in the matter. The risk is
to be run under almost any circumstances,
and if the experiment is first tried for
one year with small part of the crop,
its success or failure will be a guide for
further attempts.
As the cost of these fertilizers will be
S17 OF more, it is clear if thirteen bush
els of wheat can be grown in the ordinary
way, it will be about the same thing,
except that the land may be so well fer.
tilized that the products may be in ex-
cess Of the yield mentioned, or the whole
of the fertilizers named may not be re-
quired, half as much may be sufficient,
and the result will be so much more fa-
vorable. 1t is most probable that one
trial of the method may clear the way to
more extensive attempt, which might be
found s sisfactory. Five acres, for in.
stance, may be put in wheat this season,
and the result will be guide for future
work. There will be no difficulty in
continuing the method of growing this
crop if the requisite supply of fertilizers
that may have been found necessary are
used for each crop grown.-NeW York

A Bone shedder.

DR.. Bell, Of Parrottsville, Tenn, re-
ported the case of a woman who sheds
her bones, and showed some Of the speci-
mems before the East Tennessee Medical
Society. He said; "The patient is
seventy-one years Of age, seemingly in
perfect health, a we'll preserved woman
of medium height, average weight, and
normal in every other respect. Twenty
one years ago the exfolation Of bone be-
gan in her fingers, and has during the
succeeding years continued until she has
twice shed ulna aud radius, humerus,
scapula, and part of inferior maxillary.
This shedding takes place spontaneously
without pain, hemorrhage, suppuration,
inflammation, OF inconvenience. On one
occasion when churning she shed the ra-
dius. There is no deformity, sapination,
pronation, extension, flexion, and cir
cumhexion being perfect. The bones
shed (about six hundred pieces) were,
on careful inspection by the society,
found to be entirely natural. She has
given about one hundred pieces OF bone
away as souvenirs. The woman is CON
scious Of the pending expulsion OF bone
about ten minutes before it takes place,
and perfect bone is always left in its
stead. The bone makes its way out, al
ways on the posterior side, and the
wound heals by first intention, though
at the exit Of the bones were numerous
small scars. She has always been in
comfortable circumstances aud is cheer
ful, very interesting fact, as showing
the power of the mind to adapt itself to
extraordinary circumstances.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES


Fermented soft feed for poultry
often induces disease, especially chol-
era.
A young duck is easily choked if fed
upon dry feed alone. Water should al
ways be supplied to them when fed.
The moulting season requires from
eighty to ninety days, and the hens re.
quire good care while this is going on.
All poultry intended for market can
be improved by feeding heavily on
fattening food few days before sell
ing.
One advantage with stone drinking
vessels is that they will Keep the water
cool much longer, while they are easily
kept clean.
In selecting out the roosters to keep
for next seasons breeding take those
that are compact, of medium size and
very active.
If young turkeys can have the run OF
the wheat and oat stubble fields they will
pick up much grain that would other
wise be wasted.
A good nest egg can be made by max
ing hole in the large end, and letting
the yolk run out aud filling the shell
with plaster of paris.
The Missouri Beekeeper claims for the
Carniolan bees that the gray type is the
only pure one, any showing of yellow be-
ing sign of admixture.
Bees have claws by which they can
stick to a board upside down, explains
DR.. Miller in GleaniRgs in Bee Culture,
but if it's glass the claws will not hold,
and then an oily secretion of the foot
allows them to stick. Wet the glass and
the oily foot will not stick, and down
comes your bee.
Mrs. Atchley tells in the Bee World
how she treats wormy combs: "Soak in
clear water twenty-four hours and hang
out to dry, or throw water out with the
extractor and hang so they don't touch. {"
DR.. Miller's comment is that if this set
ties the fat old fellows an inch long it
beats birthstone.
Joseph Yuill, of Ontario, Canada, says
he milk his cows right up to the time of
calving, and since ne adopted this prac-
tice be has net had a case of milk fever,
and we presume none of garget. He
used to have great deal of trouble when
he let his cows go dry two months or less.
When the milk gets bad for domestic
consumption he feeds it to the pigs.
No dairyman should purchase ready
ground feed. He may not be deceived,
but it is one chance out of many that he
will not. The waste of the oatmeal mills,
the hulls only, are largely used for mix
ing in ground feed and the rest consists
mostly of the poorest corn and mill
screenings. The very best is the cheap
est in buying feed.

STALE BREAD,

The number of nice, tempting dishes
that may be prepared from stale bread is
manifold, says the Detroit Free Press.
They may be made very tempting and
actually devoid of the appearance of try
ing to be economical.
Quick Pudding-Line the baking pan
with slices of bread and cover them with
fresh berries, when in season, or with
canned fruit or stoned peaches in winter
add second layer of bread and fruit,
and pour over it a thin sauce. Then put
into the oven to remain long enough to
heat through.
Nuggets-Cut pieces of bread into
cubes, diamonds, squares, or any shaps
your knife may happen to devise for you,
being careful to hsve them all small,
not more than an inch in diameter. Put
these pieces carefully in a pan without
breaking), and set in a moderately warm
oven. Let them remain until a lipht
brown, but at the same time we'll dried
out. Serve while hot; they may be
eaten with butter or in tea, and will be
found an excellent substitute for crack
ers and far more tempting. They are
very nice for tea.
Bread Omelet-Beat well one egg AMI
stir it into pint of milk; add pinch
OF salt. Break into small pieces the
bread, but do not mash it, and drop
into the milk. Pour it into a frying pan,
in which there is plentiful amount of
melted butter. When brown, turn over
as you would potatoes, until the pieces
are brown all over. This makes a nice
breakfast dish and eau be prepared in a
few minutes.
Baked Dressing-Put your bread to
soak, and when soft mash we'll. Then
add one egg, a spoonful of butter, lit
tie chopped onion and salt and pepper to
taste. Pour into a shallow pan and
smooth the top all over, then butter to
insure a nice brown. Bake for half
hour, and you have wholesome dinner
dish.
Buttered Toast-Butter the slices of
bread just as you would to be eaten. Then
place in hot oven. They will
brown very quickly, aud the bread
be soft instead of hard, as toast US
uallV is.

ALCOHOL AND THE CARR OF CHILDREN.


Very many people. and among them not
the least well educated, think that alcohol
is cure for different sicknesses and indis-
positions, and in such cases even children are
frequently compelled to make use of it. II
1t is still aquestion as TO whether the use of
alcohol produces the wished for and expected
results in the case OF men who feel indis-
posed, there is not the slightest doubt that
for children alcohol is "a poison in every case
whose after effects may be inexpressibly far.
reaching. Professor Demme cites a note
worthy case of the injurious effects OF alco-
hol on boy, which should serve as o warn
ing. For the purpose of STRENGTHENING his
ten year old son, who was very intelligent,
but physically weak, an anxious father ad-
ministered daily, at first glass, then several
glasses OF strong malaga wine. After some
weeks the parents noticed that the memory
OF the boy was steadily declining. Finally
by order OF the physician the supply was
entirely discontinued, and, in the course of
six or eight weeks the boy recovered. His
mental powers had become 50 weak that at
times he did not know his own name, failed
to recognize his relatives and could scarcely
point out the simplest objects in daily use.
But as is often the case with fathers who
believe in using alcohol, this one could not
allow himself to be convinced of its iniur-
ious effects. He could not bear TO withhold
this supposed strengthening article and he
again stake1 his sons life and health on this
belief. This time he experimental with
beer and gave the boy wine glass full every
noon aud evening In few weeks he OBJ
served the same significant decline of men,
ory aud the same dwindling of his sons
mental powers, which were again recovered
when the use of alcohol was at last forever
ended. Reasonable thinkers can scarcely
understand how we'll informed peo.
pie are able to deny this and
similar effects OF alcohol. This destructive
influence upon thought and the mental pow
ers is self-evident aud every one, who does
brain work, will be proof of this, il he al
lows himself to be led to use alcohol That
this effect will become greater by continued
use need not be mentioned. And now the
same result has been found in the delicate
unused faculties of child. 1t is inexcusa-
BILE for any parent to allow his children to
have even a taste OF alcohol. How many
sicknesses for which one has vainly sought
an explanation would be understood if the
carelessness Of parents, in this respect were
known. A child should be taught to fear
alcohol as it breads the fire. II is sad that
this is so seldom the case. There are even
frivolous fathers who give their children
strong drink for ''joke," instead of becom-
ing acquainted with the spectacle afforded
by the play Of the child's natural iuclina-
tions.--NelC York BelIetristiSches Journal.

CLEANING coLoRnp wooLENs.

-Four ounces of white CASTLE soap, four
ounces of ammonia, two ounces of alco-
hol, two ounces of glycerine. Shave the
soap in one quart of water over the fire.
When dissolved add four quarts of rain
water, and when nearly cold the other
ingredients. Bottle and keep In a cool
place. One cup of this mixture in two
quarts of water will be sufficient for or.
dinary use. Now lay the goods on an
old sheet, and iron rapidly and lightly
on the wrong side, and then roll tightly
on a curtain pole or any round piece OF
wood. If this is carefully done you do
away with the creases made by folding.
For black silk or cloth dissolve one table
spoonful of borax and one tablespoonful
of indigo in one pint of warm water.
Sponge the pieces we'll and lay smoothly

MexieO's SOur Bread.

"If good American baker were to
start an establishment in the City of
Mexico am certain lie could make an
immense fortune in few years, said
George S. Day, of the firm of Day &
Dean, promoters, New York, when at
the Laclede yesterday. "My business
calls me to Mexico two or three times a
year, and every time l am there l am
compelled to eat sour bread or none at
all. AT the leading hotels, fashionable
boarding houses and private residences
the bread is just the same. The flour
used, SO far as l could learn, was all
right; the trouble is that the bakers
there don't know how to make Dread.
The Mexicans, as well as the foreigners,
complain about the inferior quality of
the bread, and know there is fortune
awaiting the. baker who will go to Mex.
leo and make good bread."-St. Louis

Exneriment With a Toad.

Some persons in Yorkshire found a
toad which, from a whimsical curiosity,
they placed in pot with slate upon
the top of it, and buried it three feet in
.he earth, in situation to prevent ITS
receiving any moisture from the rains,
etc. They wished thereby to determine
whether the wonderful relations respect
ing the subsistence of that reptile were
true to any degree. The spot was
marked, and it was resolved not to open
it until the same day in the following
year. A great number assembled on that
day, and the pot with its contents were
carefully dug out, when the toad was
found not only living, but greatly i'm
proved in size. 1t was viewed for some
time, to observe whether it seemed
affected by the exposure to the air after
so long confinement, but no change
was discovered. 1t was afterward set at
liberty. Chicago Times.

How to Climb Mountains.

The secret of the climbing of the
hunters is that they trust their feet as
much as their hands. To plant their
nailed shoe is all they ask in any place.
They go steadily but slowly, aad rest
often, so as to avoid climbing when ex-
hausted or breathless. A tired or winded
man will tumble, slip, and be in danger
where he would pass easily when fresh.
The apprentice in this particular hunt
found the greatest difficulty in crossing
chaos. A chaos is a steep slope COW
cred with blocks of stone ranging from
a hundred pounds to many tons. There
arc ugly holes, big and little between
them. Their edges are generally sharp
to the rapid passer, as he looks down at
his feet, they appear, without exception,
very sharp. In addition, some of them
are "wobblers. The duffer passed
several unpleasant quarters of au hour
in following the hunter, excited by the
proximity of game, over these places,
aud will always carry on his leg a
souvenir Of one of them. .-MsD Yors

PUMP FOR A DEEP WELL.

For a well 225 feet deep a special
pump is required. One of the kind
known as the centrifugal pomp would be
the best for the purpose, as it throws a
powerful stream the whole size of the
pump tube. With a stream eight inches
In diameter and flowing 200 feet per
minute, the supply will amount to seventy
cubic feet per minute, or enough for 200
acres of land at the highest estimate. As
the velocity of the stream is of great
Importance, it would be most desirable
to use steam engine for the pumping.
This would be the more necessary with
the propeller pump, in which the velocity
is matter of Importance, if the capacity
oil the well is sufficient One inch of
water per day would be a sufficient sup
ply for fifty acres with an eight-inca
pump. A six.inch pump would give one
inch of water per day to twenty eight
acres. The probable cost of an outfit
for this purpose would be not far from
$500. If only one acre is to be irri-
gated small windmill would be suffi-
cient with pipe of two inches diameter.
The cost of an outfit of this capacity
would not be more than $150.-Nec

Growth of the Finger. Nails.

The growth of the nails is more rapid
in children than in adults, and slowest
in the aged. 1t goes on more ra pidly in
summer than in winter, SO that the same
nail that requires 1872 days to renew it.
self in winter would do the same work
in 1l6 days in the summer. The in-
crease for the nails of the right hand is
more rapid than the left. II also varies
in the different fingers, the variation
being SO as to correspond with the
length of the finger. Thus, it is most
rapid in the middle finger, nearly equal
in the index aud the ring finger,
slower for the little finger, but slowest
in the thumb,
