SCOT as a Fertilizer.

When fuel of any kind, whether coal,
tallow, or mineral oil, undergocs COM
plete combustion the carbon present
passes into the atmosphere as invisible
carbonic acid gas. Generally, however,
while substances are burning certain
amount of that element, and in some
cases large proportion. is not perfect
ly oxidized, or in other words, escapes
complete combustion. Under these con.
ditions smoke is given off consisting,
among other things, of minute parti-
cles Of carbon which readily becomes
deposited upon cool surfaces with
which they come in contact, forming,
II derived from relatively pure sources,
the well-known and eXtensively-us
lampblack. SCOT is regarded as an i'm
pure variety Of this substance, for it is
necessarily prepared from materials
more contaminated by the presence Gf
bodies not essential for the purpose of
fuel.
The coal employed for fuel contains
nitrogen in numerous organic combina-
tons. When subjected to great heat
these are broken up and the nitrogen
Is given off as ammonia. This combines
with another gas coming from sulphur,
which is always present in coal, FORM
ing salt which becoming fixed among
the particles of deposited carbon con.
stituteS SCOT.
Apart from certain mechanical eff
fects exerted upon the soil due to ply
steal characte.', SCOT merely serves as a
means for supplying nitrogen, and moth
ing more of importance must be ex-
pected from it, as it contains neither
phosphorus acid nor potash. It's
employment as fertilizer undoubtly
tends to materially Tighten the charac-
ter of clay soil, while the Importance
of its absorbent properties, must not
be overlooked Those who use SCOT
should bear in mind that, as it's nitro
gen occurs in the form of ammonia
salts, its action upon plants is COM
paratively rapid, this fact explaining
it's value MS a top dressing for corn
crops. Another well-known property
of SCOT apart from strictly fertilizing
capabilities, is the power it possesses
of warding off and effectually counter
acting the inroads of all injurious in
sect pests.-Orange Judd Farmer.

Remedy for Plant Lice.

Insert deeply in them. They are only

these is the emulsion made Of soap dis

In this vicinity; the result of our ex,

bushels per acre.
This season 1894 the crop consists
of rye, oats, corn and potatoes. Rye
harvested indicates yield of thirty
five bushels per acre, while rye in an
adjoining field-the same seed, planting
and harvest, but not subsoiled-will
yield ten bushels per acre.
Oats on land subsoil plowed in fall
of 1893 will yield forty to forty-five
bushels per acre; oats on land subsoil
plowed In fall of 1892 win yield thirty
to tnirty-five bushels per acre; oats on
land adjoining, under ordinary cultiya-
ton, will yield ten to fifteen bushels
per acre (the average crop under the
adverse conditions that PREVAILED, in
each instance the seed, soil and plant

The superiority Of subsoil cultivation
is especially conspicuous in the length
of straw and stand on the ground.
The results of experiments with this

time be determined. With continue
ton of the present favorable conditions
we will have the largest yield Of corn
we have ever had. Even under these
favorable conditions the corn on sub

in all probability, exert its influence in

any amount you name that such rep

They are intelligent snakes, the kind
we have down in Jersey. You have
all seen trained snakes In shows, no
doubt but for quick intelligence, horse
sense and ability to learn, give me the
Jersey reptile every time.
The widow Johnson, Nancy Johnson,
lives in little cabin in the piny woods
four miles out of Lakewood, and earns
a scant living selling eggs and chickens
in the town. Nancy keeps a lot of pet
snakes about her cabin, but she has
one big black and white spotted fellow
who Is worth as much to her as a
horse. He's the best trained snake
l ever saw. The old woman has taught
him to do any number of smart tricks
and to make himself generally useful
about the cabin, but the cleverest thing
he does is to gather up the fresh eggs
from the nests every morning and take
them to town for the old woman.
Mrs. Johnson is bit feeble and it

From every part of the country come
reports of very large acreage Of po-
tatoes, and the prospect for the crop is
excellent No doubt there will be Il
very large crop, and prices will rule
low. Those who are growing them
largely should take care Of the crop,
that the tubers may be as large as pos
sible, as that is what makes the de-
mand. Large potatoes will always sell
in the markets at remunerative price.
Small ones may be cooked and fed to
hogs at profit when the price ap-
proaches - cents. Potatoes do not
analyze high in nutritive elements, but
when cooked and fed with corn, they
are Of much more value than analysis
would indicate. This Is because Of their
beneficial effect on the system on the
animals they are fed to.
