FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
THE NEGLECTED. BONES ON
THE FARM AS MANURE.
Dry Bones Raise the Best Crops--shares
in Sheep-The Art of breeding
Horticultural Hints and
Household Helps.
The Value of Bones,

Why is it that farmers will Guilt
vate poor, barren fields OF buy costly
fertilizers, and be so regardless of
tho vast quantities of matter that
might be made available as food for
their poor starving crops? The
many valuable means by which the
manure heap might be much enlarged
are entirely neglected and the mater
ials wasted.
Among all the neglected matter on
the fam, bones are the most valua-
bic, and for this reason writer in u
recent number of the Ohio Farmer
called the attention of farmers to Il
cheap and handy method of convert
ing them into food for plants. Bones,
as they are, are not available as
food for the farmers crops; there
fore he takes no interest in them, and
they are suffered to lie about the
farm unnoticed. This writer says:
TO buy bone meal is very handy, but
this does not Justify the farmer in
neglecting so valuable home re-
source for plant food. Ii you reduce
the bones that accumulate on the
farm to dust, you know you have
genuine article. Mr.. Halket says,
after numerous trials between what
is called green bones with all the
marrow and fat in them, and dry
bone, he found the dry bone raised
the best crops. OF all the matters
which bones are composed, there is
M ii NJ i,.ln y,-hi ,,h l.,
direct constituent or food for plants.
Thus We see, when we reduce them to
available food, it is all good.
Now it is but little trouble to have
barrels placed conveniently to re-
Cciyc the ashes from the house and
tobacco barns, and you will find that
it takes but little time to collect all
bones, both large and small, that are
lying about tn" farm, giving it an
appearance. Do not be
afrc.d of them. A man that is too
nice to take hold of bones will not
make much progress i'm farming.
Save all the beef and hog bones when
killed. Put a good layer of ashes at
the bottom of a barrel, then layer of
homes, and so on until nearly full;
then fill with ashes, Keep the mass
wet but not enough to leach, Use
soapsuds if convenient DO not suffer
the mass to freeze as the progress
will stop while frozen. While dis
solving bones with ashes is 4 slow
process, it is simple and requires no
great care, and while you are about
your farm work you are making
fertilizers that are valuable Not
only this but think the mixture of
the bones and ashes is more valuable
as manure than either by itself

Deaths From JOY, Fright, Grief Etc


Weread in Livy that when Hannibal
had vanquished the Romans in the
battle of Cann;e, two women, seeing
their sons whom they had supposed
dead return in good health, died i'm
mediately from excessive joy. A
Frenchman who had by chance passed
over a narrow plank lying across a
deep gorge in the dark, on viewing
the spot the next day fell down dead
while contemplating the dangers Of
the previous night. Montague re-
lates the case of German nobleman
who died OF excessive grief on discov-
ering that his son had been killed in
battle. '.He stood" says Montague,
like stock, with his eyes fixed on
the corpse till the vehemency of his
sorrow having overwhelmed his vital
spirits, he sank stone dead to the
ground.

Ships Sheat he'd with Copper.

The proposal to sheath ships with
copper coated with mercury is at
tracing attention. The idea is that
such an arrangement would effectual-
ly prevent barnaclcs from adhering
to the bottom of the vessels. In order
TO keep the mercury on and to pre-
vent oxidation the copper would be
constantly charged with electricity.
This would bring about another in
teresting possibility. Any gold or
silver that might be in the water
would be precipitated on the bottom
of the vessel, and It could then be
scraped off when the vessel arrived ip
port

China's Only Newspaper.

In China there is no such thing as
the periodic press. Tho only news
paper published in the empire, the
Tin Boo, is the imperial organ, and
is devoted principally to the publica-
ton of official nominations. 1t only
incidentally prints any news, and this
is wholly untrustworthy, being usual
~ entirely false. Chinese journalism
proper consists of posters, handbills,
circulars and little political pam
phlets. of which a great number are
printed from time to time, and the
country is usually deluged with them
on the eve of the sanguinary move.

are believed to beat off with their
horns any dog. The horned Dorset

particular,
But most dog depredations are cont
mittcd at night, and can be avoided
by nightly folding the flock in the old
manner practiced by American and
Holy Land pioneers. This calls for
less labo" than getting the COWS and
milking twice each day. Diaries re-
placed by tlocks bring great encour-
agemcnt to farmers wives because
they have less help to board and no

CHAINED FOR YEARS.
Two Insane Brothers Found Fastened
Together In One Room. :

Two insane brothers, chained to-
gether In ono room in q farmhouse
| among the mountains OF Somerset
| county, Pa, werc liberated by DIR.
Wetherell, Of the state commission on
lunacy, upon recent tour of inspec-
tion through the Western part of the
state, says special to the Pittsburg
Dispatch. Each one was fastened by
a chain not six feet long, which ex-
tended back under his bed to staple
in the floor, allowing him to move
only about three feet from the side OF
the bed One brother had been
chained there eight and tho other
about five years. Strange to cay the
one who had been there tho longest
was perfectly apathetic al TO his
liberation.
The family, who were Pennsylvania
Dutch, seemed totally unaware that
they were acting cruelty in keeping
the boys chained In fact, they rather
took credit to themselves for having
kept them off the county by not send
ing them to an asylum.
1t had been reported to DIR. Weth-
erell that the brothers were maniacs
whose outbreaks required heroic
measures to subject, and that in con-
sequence they We're cruelty treated,
but he found to his surprise that they
were, as rule, peaceful and well
treated. His intention was to push
the matter against their jailors in the
courts, but as the family promised to
free the boys and look after them
around the farm, suit was not
brought. One of the brothers, how
ever. died from natural causes, but on
DR.. Wetherell's revisiting the place
subsequently he found the other, who
had been chained eight years, work
ing in the fields as quietly rs any Of
his brothers.
AS far as could be found out from
broken English, the boys had always
been feeble-minded, and had each been
chained as the result of violent out
break. There were originally eight
children, all of whom were feeble
minded, and four, including the two
chained brothers, were at times liable
to violent attacks of mania. The
parents are at loss to account for
this affection, as they are perfectly
sane and steady, Woodworking people.
The finding of this case was q reve-
laJion to the board, as they thought
all corners of the state had been
secured and all chained lunatics com
mitted to the state asylums. DR..
Wetherell brought homo as a souvenir
of his trip the chain which for eight
yeas bound the elder brother.
