HindoOstanee Titles.

A few worlds of elementary instruc-
ton in Sancrist and Hindoostanee as
to the meaning of the titles borne by
the oriental potentates. The simplest
of these royal titles is that of rajah,
which is literally king" but is ap-
piled ven to a pretty p%rinceling. A
maharjah is a great king"-usually a
ruler who retains some degree of actu-
al sovereignty. not compelled to LOOK to
the British official resident at his court
for authority to act. The feminine of
rajah is rani. better known in the An
glo-lndian form of rannee, and this is
the proper designation of a reigning
Hindoo princess or queen. A begun,
whose characteristics every reader of
Thackeray knows, is any princess Or
other lady of rank and wealth-the
word being the Anglo-indian term for
the Hindoostanee began, q princes"
Nawab is our familiar .'Nabob,' which
has its origin in the same Hindoostanee
word. Officially, a nawab is a deputy
governor or viceroy. In pronouncing

every known custom Az far as ! have
been able to ascertain after an exhaus-

ties, our present custom of burial modes
originated in primitive times, when the
people believed in corporal resurrec-
ton. They had an idea that inasmuch
as the star that heralded Christ's COM
ing first appeared in the East. Judge
ment Day would be ushered in with
the Lords appearance in the same di-

Chemically the apple is composed
of vegetable fiber, albumen. sugar,
gum. chlorophyll. malic acid. gallo
acid, lime and much water. Further
more. the German analysts say that
the apple contains q larger percent

fruit or vegetable. The phosphorus
is admirably adapted for renewing

perhaps, for the same reason. rudely

Wan traditions represent the apple
as the food of the gods, who. when
they felt themselves to be growing

Tho subject of blowing will always
interest farmers - long as the world
lasts. because all practical farmers
know that good blowing lies 1t the
very foundation Of successful farm
ing. A man may have good land.
but unless it is properly plowed and
prepared for seed, he will not be
likely to obtain the best crops which
its soil is capable Of producing. Az .
rule, the poorer the soil, the more
pains must be taken to pulverize and
make It fine to . certain depth.
A deep, rich soil will usually pro-
duce . fair crop when only half
plowed, but it will do better when
plowed better. 1t is said that on
the fat. virgin prairies OF the West.
q considerable crop Of corn has been
raised merely by chopping through
the sod with an ax. and placing the
seed in the incision with no other
tillage whatever.
The proper depth to pillow has al
ways been q subject of debate, prob
ably because soils of different depths
and competition require different
depths of blowing. and one mans ex-
perience on one kind Of soil does not
coincide with another mans on . diff
ferent kind.
The consensus of 0pinion-and my
experience agrees with it's that .
deep soil will bear deep blowing. and
the crops be the better for it in the
long run. says the Country Gentle
man. 1t keeps . larger amount Of
earth aired. warmed and sweetened,
it makes it easier for the roots Of
plants to strike down deeper to OBJ
tain moisture in dry weather. and
like q dry sponge it holds more of
the rainfall and holds it longer. 1t
was easy for DR.. Franklin to believe
in ..plowing deep while sluggards
sleep" Had he been q farmer, in
stead of q printer. he would have
found that q thin soil requires shall
low blowing. and is nearly ruined BY
deep blowing. unless the surface Is
coated with good stable manure.
The stereotyped direction of the farm
papers (and the correct one) is to
deepen a thin soil gradually by turn
ing up a little Tor every time it is
plowed. and manuring the surface.
There is no doubt that on some
soils which are naturally fine and
porous, as good crops car be raised
by merely mellowing a few inches of
the surface. without turning it over
This is the general practice in India
where the average yield Of wheat is
nearly as much as it is in this
country.
Mr.. Waldo F. Brown says: ut f. .
fact certainly that oats make a better
yield and withstand drouth better
with three inches of very mellow
earth on q hard foundation" l have
no doubt that he is correct about the
better yield, but think he may be
mistaken in regard to the withstand
ing of drouth better. He also says
that he has met men at the institutes
who were sure that a shallow, fine
seed-bed gave best results in corn
culture" I think the soil on these
mems farms was good, but not deep,
and that the subsoil was not very
compact.
/. Horace Greeley IA at first, like
DR.. Franklin. an advocate of deep
blowing, but afterwards modified his
opinion and favored q deep stirring
instead of a deep turning of the soil.
