stone Dust as a Fertilizer.

In answer to number of queries
and criticisms on stone-dust and it's
uses, it may be said that this article
lis not recommended as a cure-all
or supply4all for farmers. 1t is only
one of the many valuable elements
by which the soil is improved and
enriched No one imagines that
any one article will supply the
needs of vegetation. Stone-dustis
valuable on heavy clay soils; in
deed, all soils of this sort are bene-
flied even by the addition of fine
sand. It breaks up the lumpiness,
and allows the air to get in and
warns the ground, to the great adj
vantage of whatever crop is sown
there.

Sunflower Meal.

Sunfower cake has been found,
especially in Russia, one of the best
auxiliary cattle foods. AS early as
the year 1866 about 100000 cent
ners of sunfower oil (oil of the
seeds of Helianthus annuus) were
manufactured in Russia, and it's
amount has increased year by year,
it being esteemed as very palatable
alimentary oil. The oil was form
erly obtained by hydraulic means;
the residual cake is harder than
any other variety of oil-cake, and
for this reason apparently it has
not found q wider application.
Denmark and the northern count
ries import large quantities annual
ly. as do also the eastern provinces
of Germany, and the problem Of it's
disintegration has been successfully
solved by several manufacturers
there, It rs still unknown in South
ern and Western Germany; now,
however, that it is put on the mar
ket in the form of meal, it will
dorbtless soon find general applica-
ton, suited, as it is, both on account;
of its composition and pleasant
taste, for fattening CATTLE The per-
centage of proteid varies from about
80 to "A per cent, the fat from about
8 to Is per cent. 1t is possible to
prepare two qualities, one rich, iii

other rich in fat and poor in proteid.
When, for example, the somewhat
finely ground meal is sifted, employ
ing mesh of 1mm., that which
passes through is much richer in
proteid and poorer in fat than the
original, while the reverse is true of
that which remains in the sieve.

sheep In Orchards.

Persons who pasture sheep in
their orchards do not, as a rule, use
enough sheep to do the most good.
The sheep can add nothing to the
land but what they take from it,
but if a large number, say fifty, are
put in eight acres Of trees seeded
with orchard grass, and are fed a
little bran, say about | pound a day
to each sheep; something like 1874
pounds Of. nitrogen, 1874 pounds Of
phosphorus acid, aid SO pounds Of
potash would be distributed during
the season over the ground in the
best possible way, while the sheep
would keep down every weed and
sprout, gnaw the grass close and eat
every fallen apple as soon as it
strikes the ground. "a. ~s0s'st

Or Fall Its tendency is downward,
hence it is advisable to simply
broadcastsit over The surface Of land
that has been plowed and allow the
rains to carry it down. The best
results from lime are obtained when
a piece Of sod land is turned under,
the lime and green material making
''com bination" superior to either
alone. Lime can not take the place
of commercial fertilizers, but as it
is cheap and easily obtained it
should be used freely on all farms
and upon both clay and sandy soils,
owing to its chemical and machani-
cal effect on land. 1t is also plant
food, entering into the structures of
all plants, and exists, to certain
extent, in every kind of soil, but it
is partly deficient on sandy soils,
upon which no application of lime
has been made if such soils have
been used for the production of
crops for several years, especially if
the soils are porous and easily
leached.
Lime as it comes from limestone
is carbonate of lime until burned,
when the carbonic acid is then
driven off, leaving the caustic lime
(oxide of calcium). In this condit-
ion it has an affinity for moisture,
combining with water to form hy-
drate of lime, which is termed
shaking" the lime falling to pieces
as a fine powder. 1t also absorbs
moisture (but more slowly from
the air, which is known as ''air
slaking." 1t still possesses an Atm
ity for carbonic acid, the preference
being to return to its original con-
dition of car Donate of lime. In other
words, after the limestone is burned
the lime derived from it sooner or
later becomes limestone again, but
in more divided condition. It is
the effort on the part of the lime to
return to its original condition as a
carbonate which induces it to derive
carbonate acid from any and all
sources, and in so doing it breaks
up the combinations of other sub
stances in the soil, and causes the
building up or formation of new
compounds by the disintegration of
others, the chemical action being
such that many insoluble substan-
ces are rendered soluble and
greater supply of plant food is sup
piled to crops.
When lime is used on land that
has grown a green crop, and which
has been recently turned under, the
lime Immediately induces chemical
action, especially with the enormous
amount of vegetable matter in a
succulent or green condition, form
ing numerous salts, and thus hast
ening decomposition.

FARM Notes.


Tomatoes, melons, squash, ETC.,
which contain large proportion OF
seeds, will be benefited by an extra
application of soluble phosphate,
either in the shape of bone or rock.
Do not cut millet too late in it's
growth. AS soon as the heads begin
to form is the proper time. Itshould
never be allowed to stand until the
seeds are nearly matured, but cut
it when it is more succulent.
The apple trees in many sections
are loaded down with fruit this sea-
son. To insure salable crop the
fruit should be thinned out. AS the
apples become larger there is lia-
bility ofthe limbs of the trees being
broken if the fruit is not reduced by
thinning.
The principal reason for regular
and thorough grooming is that the
health of the horse requires that
the pores of the skin be kept open
by removing the dust and secre-
tions, and that the muscles be rub
bed which would not otherwise be
well exercised.
If there is more in the garden
than can be used do not allow waste
to occur, but store as many vegeta-
bles away for Winter as possible.
All kinds Of small fruits can be can
ned, and tomatoes will afford work
to some members of the family in
peeling and preparing them for the
cans. Sweet corn, peas, lima beans,
and string beans may be canned.
The pea is a cold-country lover,
and soon becomes weak and sickl y
where the Summers are hot; but if
the soil is dug or loosened to the
depth of a foot or more, SO that the
roots can get down into the colder
soil, and cool spot in the garden
be selected, very good peas may be
had by sowing as late as Mid-Sum-
mer
In the Summer season corn is
fed to poultry the same as is done
in Winter Corn is too heating, and
will make the hens over-fat, thus
restricting egg production. The best
food to induce laying is lean meat,
about pound to sixteen hens, once
a day, giving no other food if the
hens have free range, as they will
secure large share of their food in
the shape of grass, seeds and insects.
Austria gives an object lesson in
dealing with waste lands. Prizes
are given TO farmers to encourage
them to recover waste lands, and lay
them down as pasturage, and also
to erect shelters or stables for cows
in high attitudes. The importance
of this may be seen from the state
ment that one-quarter of the total
fodder required for cattle and horses
in the empire is derived from Alpine
districts.
There is difference in the yields
ofpeas that are supported and those
that are not. Mr.. HI. M. Phillips,
of Hammonton, N. j., has a crop
of champion of England" variety
of pease, portion having no sticks
for supports, while another portion
is supported. The whole field re-
ceived the same treatment other
wise, manure from hog pen being
used. The supported vines are 5
feet high and full of peas and bios

dR. CHAUNCEY DEpEw.

MR.

There is very little prospect that the United States will ever consent tc the alliance which Mir. Depew men tions, because the established policy of this government is to have friend ly relations with all nations and en. tangling alliances with none. As MT. Depew puts it, England would be willing in exchange, for an often sive and defensive alliance, to 'sbun. dle all American matters into oul hands. So far as American mat ters are concerned, the United States will take care of them whether Eng land is willing or not.

TRYING TO SETTLE.

Tired Soldiers.

New Orleans, La. March 16.-The mill
tia are going through the real hardships
of police duty today. The morning opened
with a DRILLING rain, accompanied by
norther which gradually grew colder as
the day progressed. The Third and
Fourth battalions were up bright and
early and by 8 o'clock were on the move.
When they reached the uptown wharves
they found several hundred negroes wait
ing to go to work The troops were sta
toned at various places around the ships
and the work of loading the vessels with
cotton was resumed. The novelty of see
ing soldiers on the river has worn off and
idlers. who for the past two or three
days have been congregating around the
troops, were absent today
There is growing feeling of discomfort
among the troops. They are beginning
to tire of doing ordinary police duty and
relieved from duty they will lose their
situations. While the merchants are SUBJ
scribing literally to the funds to support
the troops while on duty, many of them
state that it is impossible for them to
get along without their clerks. This
discomfort has given rise to the talk about
bringing some country troops down here
to relieve the city militia. Many of the
commands in the parishes have volun>
teered their services and are anxious to
get to the city. A strong movement will
be made to bring the strike to some kind
of settlement today. Gov. Foster will

GUS bodies in hopes of drawing up an
agreement which will be satisfactory to
all parties concerned

Patrick Nugent Makes Desperate
Effort to Exterminate His
Family.

Batavia, N. Y, March fitzpatrick III.
Nugent shot and killed a constable and
attempted to kill several other people,
winding up by shooting himself. Nugent
had been drinking hard for some time,
and his wife, being in delicate health,
was removed to her parents home. In
consequence Nugent made repeated
threats against his wife's relatives and
yesterday John Neville, brother of Mrs.
Nugent, went before justice and made
Il deposition charging Nugent with
drunkenness and disordery conduct.
The warrant was placed in the hands
of Constable w. Harvey Johnson. Last
evening Johnson accompanied by John
Neville, started for the Nugent house
100 feet from the house, Johnson ad
vanced to the door, knocked and was
admitted. Then Neville heard a shot
fired and little later Nugent, carrying
an axe came out and started toward the
Neville home. Neville followed and at
tackled Nugent as he began to beat in
the door with his axe. Nugent got the
law to flight Then he broke into the
house where were the terrified women
and children of the family and two
neighboring women. He began fusil-
lade with two rcvOlvers, shooting Mrs.
O'Connor in the neck. His wife and
children had hidden and, failing to find
them, Nugent put Il revolver to his head
and sent Il bullet through his brain, fall

CRANE SUES HIS FATHER.
DiSinherited Youth Wants His DiVi-
dend from the Elevator
Company.

Chicago, ILL.,. March 16.-As an out
growth of the notorious Stiles divorce
case, in which Herbert Crane, son of
the millionaire elevator man, was named
as correspondent. young Crane has filed
suit against his father to compel the lat
ter to pay dividends on some of the Gle
vator company's stock held by the SON
The senior Crane has frequently endeav-
ored to break off the alleged relations
between his son and the beautiful Mrs.
Lillian Stiles, but without avail, it is
said, despite the fact that Herbert is Il
married man. When Mrs. Stiles hus-
band sued for divorce, the consequent
scandal resulted in the senior Crane re-
moving his son from his position as treas
urer of the Crane Elevator company and
ordering him to leave the city. There
were threats of disinheritance. Young
Crane holds 100000 of the elevator
company stock and when the dividends
were withheld the young man brought
suit to compel his father to pay them.
The son will probably have little trouble
in forcing payment of the dividends, but
his father will. it is said, leave the bulk
of his property to Herbert's deserted wife
and children.
