Consult the Soil.

& At present prices Of cereals and the
low price often obtained for potatoes,
ETC.. doubt whether it would pay to
purchase complete plant foods at full
commercial rates for the purpose Of
using them in the production Of these
ordinary crops. Tt will usually pay to
purchase single substance of plant
food, such as phosphoric acid in super
phosphates OF pllosphates, or potash in
potash salts, when such single plant
food is lacking in Il soil provided with
all others in sufficient quantities. Such
conditions are not unusual We find
them Where crops using one certain
kind Of plant food much faster thai the
others are grown for many years to the
exclusion Of other crops
Wheat, oats, ETC., for instance, use up
phosphoric acid faster than any other
plant food elements, and many fruit
crops, etc, live especially on potash
Continued, one-sided cropping, there
fore, may result in exhausting the soil

just that kind Of plant food will be like

able writers bearing upon the fiye-
proofing Of buildings, and, without
doubt, there ,.oTid be formulated from
these articles 4 system of principles
that would be thoroughly efficient to
meet the requirements. In the attempt
to discover right principles, the advice
and assistance of the now noted
fire-prOofing companies should not be
neglected. The demand was no sooner

Protection Against Rats.

According to information promulgat
ed by the Wisconsin experiment sta
ton, the surest safeguard of the silo
against rats is 10 cover the bottom with
a layer of small stones or grout before
the cement is applied. When, it is said,
the cement is applied directly upon the
ground the action Of the acids soon
softens it to such an extent as to per-
nit the rats to penetrate it without
difficulty. AS the holes made by these
animals in burroWing under the found
ations and up into the chamber admit
air into the siS, and SO cause great in
jury to the stored fodder, it is very de-
sirable that in some way they should
be prevented from effecting an en-
trance. The method described above
is one way Of accomplishing the de-
sired result.
Another and, perhaps, even better
way is this: It is not generally known
OF at least not generally observed
that rats in burrowing under a founda-
ton wall always keep close to the wall,
and when they meet an obstacle they
do not work around it, but ascend to-
the surface and begin again. Taking
advantage of this habit, it is only neces-
sary to extend the lower course of
stone or brick little distance beyond
the rest of the wall. and his ratship will
be effectually bafHed in his efforts to
burroW under the foundation.

Dehorning the Cows.

The Practical Farmer was asked why
it does not have more to say about the
dehorning Of cows, and its effects upon

it is a matter that must be decided

published rules OF cause and effect.
The late utterances Of Prof. Henry
Will do much to make the dairy
think that it will be the best thing that
he can do to dehorn the cows, and es-
pecially the bulls, as the professors
evidence is fayOrable. though rather
on the side of the question that, as it
does not seem to do any injury, it can
not be said that it is otherwise than
of some benefit. The matter is some
thing like this. if one wants to bunch q
lot of cattle, and economize space, and
render them docile the argument is
on the side of dehorning That it is
decidedly cruel is hardly to be sus-
tanned, as in our opinion the fright Of
making them secure so that the saw
can be made to do quick work, is the
most serious thing That not one dairy
i'll ten shrinks much, if any, in milk,
following the operation, is quite an
argument in it's favor The looks Of the
cows before and after taking the saw,
is for the owner to decide about. The
Whole matter is summed UP in this:
Will the cows be more quiet, better
disposed toward each other, and be
less liable to cause injury to persons
and things, and if all this is to be an
SWered yes, then the saw will keep on
in the way that it's advocates insist
that is the only humane course, drop
ping Of a useless member that has in
this later day no place in the stable or
farm, and cause a cessation of much in
jury that would not otherwise be but
for the wicked horns. This is patent
where a man owns a herd, part OF
them dehorned, and part not. He will
soon be forced to dehorn all, as a
means of safety to the rest, which
in. fact, gives the whole argument to
the advocates of dehorning AS to the
dehorning Of breeding stock, especial
ly bulls, and its effects on the offspring
is a matter too deep for the farmer to
master, and is better left in the hands
of the savants, who are paid by the

gone far beyond the bounds OF his

Dr. Briggs made forcible address, and
one which was repeatedly applauded,
but in which. contrary to what seemed
to be the expectation, he made no ref
erence to his own troubles with the
general assembly of the Presbyterian
church. When his half Lour had ex-
pired he gave way to Mgr. Seaton, who
spoke upon the Catholic church and the
Holy Scriptures. The programme then
turned into a Hebrew channel, and
Rabbi 7. Gottsheil spoke upon the
greatness and influence Of Moses, the
