TREATMENT FOR PASTURES.
Spread All Accommodations of Manure and
Apply Bone Dust and Potash salts.

Apply lone Dust ana Potash salts.
While nitrogen is a very essential
element of plant growth, and where
used upon the true grasses produces
wonderful Insurance, from long and
careful observation of its use / am con-
WINGED that more pastures suffer from
deficiency of phosphoric acid and potash
than from any other cause l have often
noticed that where an application of
bone dust and potash salts or hard wood
ashes had been made to spots here and
there on the pastures the stock would
leave all the other parts of the field,
even where the grass was very much
larger, greener and fresher, and keep
these treated parts gnawcd into the very
ground. l have also noticed that fol-
lowing an application of potash i'll any
form the white clover always came i'll
very thick. This makes the finest of
pasture and also supplies to the soil
good deal Of nitrogen To sum up,
then, l would recommend for perma-
nent pastures a liberal use Of very fine
bone dust and potash salts or hard wood
ashes, where obtainablc, and in early
spring give the pastures thorough har-
rowing to break up the surface. Thus
writes j. S. Woodward to Rural New
Yorker. He also explains why the grass
grows so luxuriantly about the animal
droppings.
1t is because of the large amount of
plant food there, but more particularly
because they contain an excess Of nitro
ia,
a rank growth, but such growth lacks
i'll potash and phosphatcs, and is there
fore unpalatable to the stock 1t is also
q fact that while animals will avoid
eating about their own droppings they
will not avoid those of other animals.
For instance, COWS will eat hay from a
horse manure pile even if such hay be
wet with the juices, and horses will eat
hay that has been mussod over or even
trodden upon by sheep with seeming
good relish. They will even eat sheep
drOppings. | have found a capital way
to treat pastures containing many drop
pings was to go over them i'll spring, as
before described, with a sharp harrow
and give a thorough scarifying Of the
surface, to be followed by an application
of 200 or 800 pounds or more per acre
Of a mixture Of bono dust and muriate
of potash, half and half. OF course,
where permanent pastures arc not too far
away from the stable, they may be top
dressed with stable manure and this
narrowed i'll as described, but even here
an occasional application Of the bone
dust and potash will pay-pay i'll the
larger growth Of grass and pay in caus-
ing the stock to eat with greater relish
the grass that does grow.
Another correspondent finds that by
changing from one kind Of stock to an
other he is able to get the rank grass
eaten which would otherwise go back
upon the ground He arranges to have
open sheds for his pasture stock, which
gives the droppings in an available
form for any purpose. Temporary sheds
consisting simply of roof of cheap
boards put on poles in the ground, I'M
der which the horses can go aid stand,
are put on the poor spots of the field,
shifting each year

of residence made Nine. Casimir- Perier
mistress of the Elyscc palace and first lady
of France, and consequently it Is not diff
cult to imagine why the six moving days
of the year have not been at all distaste-
full to her
Nine. Casimir- Pcrier or "Mme. la Pres
idente, as she is called in France, is still
young and woman of perfect manners
and stylish dress. When the late Sadi
Carnot was PRESIDENT it was said that
Nine. Carnot was the best dressed woman
in France, but now Mime. Casimir Pcrier
will doubtless be awarded that distinc-
ton. She dresses with great richness, but
with no slavish subscrvience to the pre-
vailing mode, and when driving or on the
street she is invariably guwned in plain
and unostentatiOus manner that proves
her good taste.
Mime. Casimir Pcrier comes of a rich and
distinguished family, and before her mar
ragc was Mile. de Segur Her husband is
also her second cousin, and their married
life has been very happy. She is tall and
fair and of queenly figure. Her face is
strong, and her deep set eyes give her sad
expression and cause her to look "A trine
older than her husband Two children,
a hoy and girl, have blessed their union,
and it is said that Nine. Casimir- Perier
was greatly incenscd because the boy com
panions of her son annoyed him a few days
before the presidential election by sur
rounding him and shouting, Long live
Dupuyl" Dupuy was ono of Casimir- Pc
riers most formidable opponents, but he
was defeated, and young Claude Casimir-
Pcrcr was able to turn the laugh on his
companions.
As the president has fortune of about
$4,000, 00O Mime. la Presidcnto has al
ways been accustomed to luxury and will
be perfectly at homo amid the splcndors of
the Elyscc. She is very devoted to her
husband and her children and has been of
great assistance to him in furthering his
political ambition Like her husband, she
is very fond of carriage and horseback
riding and other outdoor entertainments,
and it is said that she has ordered a coach
and four that will eclipse in magniflcence
anything in Paris.

Prince Edward Albert, the Infant Heir TO
the Throne of Great Britain.


If Queen Victoria, the Prince of Wales
and the Duke of York should die tomor-
row, baby boy who looks exactly like
several million other babies of the same
age, and whose knowledge of life has not
extended beyond the narrow confines of
his royal cradle, would be king of Great
Britain and Ireland and emperor of India.
This interesting infant is his royal high
ness Prince Edward Albert, only son of
the Duke and Duchess of York, grandson
of Albert Edward, Prince of Wales and
great grandson of Queen Victoria.
If the three people who now stand be-
tween his cradle and the throne live and
reign so long as Queen Victoria, however,
the baby prince will be baldhcaded and
wearing false teeth before he begins to
sway the sccpter. The queen is now as
years of age She has been monarch of
all she surveys i'm the United Kingdom for
81 years and seems good for 10 years more
a. Last She was - years old when she
was crowned queen, and the eldest of her
nine children, Prince Albert Edward is
now 53 years of age and a grandfather,
but he seems no nearer to the throne of
England today than he did in 1871 when
he first opened his baby eyes.

republic, more powerful in every way
way than England and continental Eu-
rope com bined, must rest in depression
and despair until England shall be gen
erous enough to give the signal of relief
by graciously permitting Americans to
enlarge their money basis. And this act
of benevolence is to be performed only
when England concludes to present to
the rest of the world the trihing sum of
100000, 900 year, which represents the
profits which accrue to Great Britain's
ruling class as the result of the demOne-
tization of silver. When will England
get ready to perform this extraordinary
feat of international beRevolence? Some
of our tory friends pretend not to know,
but we know the exact day. On the day
that the car of Russia abdicate5 in favor

that Emperor William leads a mob of
