WIEN nrYINe FERTILIZERS.

Farmers should bear in mind that the
Commercial valuation" is not the only
thing to be taken into consideration in
buying a fertilizer, says the Rhode ISL
and Station. To illustrate: suppose
that the crop and soil demand largely
phosphoric acid and potash and little
nitrogen, then a fertilizer with a high
percentage Of nitrogen, but low in the
other elements, would be Of little value
TO the farmer, however high its COM
mercial value might be. The question
is not how many pounds of fertilizer for
tho money, but how much potash, phos-
phoric acid and nitrogen aud their form.
This question involves in a great meas
ure the profits and losses in New Eng.
land farming.-New York World.

HOW TO KILL BRUSH AND BRIARs

To farmers who live in timbered re.
gion this question is an interesting prob
lem. There is a theory with some,
who ought to know, that there is a day,
with the moon in right quarter and the
sign of Zodiac in the right place, that a
tree or shrub should be cut TO kill it
root and branch. All this sounds we'll
enough to them, but years of experience
has failed to verify such theories. A
sapling may be cut in the winter that
will never sprout, and it may be cut 10
the light of the moon in August, when
the sign is in the heart, and sprouts will
appear a~buudantly. We cut brush
every day in the year, and some will die
no matter when they were cut, and some
will not die. If ~sprouting is done twice
a year, say June and August, for two or
three years, no sprouts will appear the
next year unless it be sassafras or post
oak nne
The whole secret of killing, other
than grubbing, seems to be in sap pois-
oning. The sap must sour, which kills
the roots. Hence some practice cutting
the stumps a foot or more in heigth.
An experiment of this kind showed q
decided gain, since the stumps rotted
out in four years time from cutting.
The killing OF briars, especially dew.
berries, battle all skill and industry.
At one time i. seemed they were gone,
but when the land was put down tC
meadow they came up as strong and Wig
orous as ever. Sassafras has been al.
luded to; nobody ever killed one By
cutting it off at the ground. The same
is true of persimmon. They need yer.
different treatment. When cut a foo.
or two from the ground sap poisoning is
more possible and effective. America

PACKING BUTTER FOR WINTER.

Butter to keep well must be well
made, that is the buttermilk well worked
out and a full ounce of pure salt worked
into each pound of butter. If packed
in tubs see that they are clean, first
scalded with hot water and then washed
with cold. Pack the butter as made aud
keep each layer covered with a cloth and
salt until the next one is added. Fill
the tub within one inch of the top, then
sprinkle on a little salt, cover with a
cloth, and tuck in the edges all around
next to the tub, then cover with a half
inch of salt, put on the cover and set
away in a cool, dry cellar. No vege-
tables or fruits should be stored in a
cellar where butter is to be kept, because
they are very likely to exhale odors that
will be absorbed by tho butter, ever il
the butter is kept in a close vessel

CATE oF WORK HORSES AT NOON.

When work horses are brought in at
noontime, the harness should be lie.

brush and curry comb freely used. The
shoulders should be washed if they are
sweaty or sore. Before starting work
the sore shoulders may be softened with

while warm, nor feed them grain. Both
at noon and at night the horses should
be watered previous to feeding grain.

Writing to the Manchester Guardian, Sir
Wilfrid Lawson repu1iates the charge that
his policy IN temperance matters is every
thing or nothing. IAN that we ask, he
says, sis hat no scheme Of licensing reform
should be forced on unwilling districts. The
magistrates now, as we see FROM every day'r
reports in the newspapers, are able to estab-
fish drink shops wherever they please, quite
regardless of the remonstrance of the in
habitants. We are told that wa are to have
new licensing authorities, who, it is ex-
pected, will give more satisfaction to the
public. Let them be tried by al, means.
They may reduce the horrors of the traffic
which they are TO license. But to any
measure constituting these new authori-
ties we demand a supplement- forbidding
them to exercise their licensing powers in
distinctly and decidedly unwilling districts"
Fortunately, Sir Wilfrid adds, the working.
men have just returned a Parliament clearly
more hostile to the drink traffic than any
which We have had for a lonT time.

WILD FLOWERS AND THEIR CULTURE.
People usually make too hard work OF
~eultivating wild plants. They are apt to
attempt to initiate the natural conditions
under which they find the plants. This,
to a certain extent, is wise, but in most
cases it is easily carried too far. The
problem is simphfed when we once come
to understand that wild plants grow
where they are obliged to grow, rather
than where they desire to grow. Be
cause a plant grows in the woods IS little
reason to expect that it may not grow
equally as well in the sun. And then,
it is not necessary to wait until fall or
spring to take up the wild plants. At

On the old Cutts's estate at Biddeford
Pool, years ago, il was customary to keep .
large number of hogs. These animals for
the most part of the year roamed at large,
feeding in the pastures and upon the clam
fats, digging clans being their chief en-
ployment. The old Cutts's store was at
that time headquarters for all kinds of in.
toxicating liquors, including cherry rum.
On a certain day, the story goes there
was at this old store q general clearing up,
and lots of old rubbish, including bushels OF
old cherries from the cherry rum hogshcad,
old salt fish. etc, was dumped out upon the
fats. This rubbish was soon discovered by
these greedy, hRlf-starvci hogs. The
cherries proved to be n precious morsel for
them and were devoured at once. The effect
was ludicrous in the extreme at first. They
began to run and caper aud fight and root
and cut up all manner Of ridiculous
manRuvreS until finally tine run in the
cherries became too much for them, aud
down they lay upon the flats at nearly low
water, dead drunk.
Soon tue lido turned aud began to flow
in. An alarm was given and the neighbors
FASTENED to tho scene with whips, brooms,
clubs ant all manner of persuaders, which
were used Justify, but without effect. The
hogs would not bulge an inch, the tide
swallowed them up, and the Saco harbor
for days after was full Of dead hogs

THE SALOON KEEPERS RESPONSIBILITY
II know it is the fashion to denounce the
drunkard aud TO hold him up to riiicule,
contempt and scorn; to spurn him from
ones path as a creature fallen too low to msr-
it even a passing glance of pity. Yes the
drunkard has transgressed the laws of
nature and of God, and he feds now, when
perhaps he has gone too far to remedy his
error, hat the way of the transgressor Is
hard indeed. But he was not always thus.
There was a time when he was content TO
quench his thirst with water, thst universal
gift OF a bountiful Creator, which alone,
sod intended to be mans natural, common
beverage. There was a time when any al
coholic liquid was %repugnant to MIN; and If
now he feels a necessity for INDUCING in it,
it is because he himself induced the necessity
which was once totally foreign to his nat
nral tastes and habits. But who placed
temptation in the way of the poor o~ltcast9
Who led him on step by step, glass by glass,
from the region of innocence, health and
happiness along the path Of dissipation and
crime, on to the very brink of that awful
precipice of alcoholic slavery and despair,
and then cruelty pushed him over into the
dark and hideous abyssy Who furnished
him with that fiery, deceitful stuff that
burnt out the impress of Gods image on his
soul, scorched his moral sensibilities and
changed him from a child of God and an
heir to the heavenly kingdom, into a hor-
rible and horrid monstrosity among created
thingsY Who wrecked his home and turned
it into an earthly hell? Who prompted his

He's Ever with Us.

No bird is more fccund than the
sparrow. 1t has been calculated that a
single pair will, in New York, rear
twenty or thirty young in the course of
single year. If all lived, their off
spring in the course of ten years would
amount to between $1,000, OOO 600 and
0o,0oo,O0o birds. The actual in
crease is, however, but small fraction
of this total, for millions die in the nest,
In the course of nature, of hunger, or
of cold, during severe weather, or serve
as food for carnivorous birds or other
wild animals. Assuming the annual
young per pair at only twelve land in
the warmer parts of the United States,
where the English sparrow is u serious
plague, they are much more numerous),
half males and half females, and that
all live to five years, the total increase
OF one pair in that time would be 49,
GA birds. That is >the estimate made
by officials of the department of agri-
culture in report on the sparrow.

at Cologne is $40 feet high.
The design, as finally adopted, pro-

of cross. the arms of which form nave,

central and two outside aisles. The ex-

will become the metropolitan church,
