ing the contour of the surface so as to
give "a perfectly level line. A furrow is
run along this line, and a similar fur
row is run along a lower contour, the
distance apart depending upon tie ma
ture of the land and the slope of the sur
face, as in case of sidehill bitches.
Theoretically it is intended to have
the surface between these two burrows
level, so that there will be no chance
for the water to run off over the sur
face. On small scale this leveling can
be done with a horse shovel, and tie
land thus put at once into condition to
prevent washing. In this case the banks
of the terrace are sOdded or seeded with
grass to prevent them from washing. In
field practice. however, the soil is moved
gradually with piow, the furrow being
thrown always down hill, and the soil
gradually worked down into a level
plain.
There are several forms of reversible
plows which are admirably adapted to
this purpose, bieng turned readily from
Il right to a left handed pillow, 50 that,
in going back and forth, the fuTow is
always thrown down hill. 1t requires,
of course, Il number of years Of such cul-
tivation to get the surface into even APP
proXimately IA level condition, but with
patience and thorough cultivation. the
soil very quickly assumes a compare
lively level aspect, and erosion is re
duced to a minimum. This is more

done, it is much more efficient and much
more durable than depending upon side

AN EXTRAORDINARY DIVORCE.
Both Parties In Interest Swore They Had
Never Met Before.

"The annals of the divorce courts con
tain many curious histories, " said an old
lawyer, "but to mo the most remarkable
case | ever heard of was tried in Kings
county, n. Y, u dozen years ago Both
parties were prominent i'm society, and for
some time the matter was kept secret
Mrs. Martin was y young wife and mother
of one child when, i'm 1862, her husband
enlisted in the Union army She heard
from him at intervals for more than a
year, and then followed long period of
silence. Next she received intelligence of
his death Mrs. Martin donlcd widows
weeds, and while mourning her husbands
death her child died. She then took up
her residence with friends, until 1873,
when she received the attentions of a Mr..
Hyde we'll known business man and "a
widowcr with seven children. The cojTft-
ship extended over n period Of ii months,
during which time Mr.. Hyde was informed
of Mrs. Martins former marriage and II
years after Martins reported death they
were married. Nothing happened to dis
turb their happiness until about ten years
later when Mr.. Hyde informed her that
Martin was living in the suburbs Of
Brooklyn with wife and children In
vcstgations proved that the man did livu
had left the city in lsG2 and entered tho
army
"Thc case came mp before tho referee,
and there Martin sNurc that he had never
seen Mrs. Hyde; that lac was oiuglc man
when he joined the army; that he mar
ricd on his return for the first time and
had since been resident Of Brooklyn and
made no CoucOalmcnt of hi, marriage
When Mrs. Hyde was sworn, She called on
God in the most solemn manner To wit
ness that She had never sccn Mr. Martin,
and whom the two were confronted with
each other neither was in the slightest
manner di>cuncortcd aud repeated their
former dcniuls ut ever having met before
Former friends and acqunul1uc"o ct
both, however, Swur" that they bad been
married and were positive Ol their lIcn-
tity. After ii careful Investigation and
long consideration the referee dcidrd the
prcpOndcrAucc of testimony TO be against
the defendant and passed. an order, which
was approved by the Buuklyu city court,
annulling the marriage Mrs. Hyde had
10 children by her second marriage.
Friends volunteered assistance to enable
her to carry her case to the superior court,
but She concluded to abide by the decision

Experiments made to ascertain the
length of time that brick and sandstone
are rendered waterproof or protected by
uilng show some valuable results. The
oils used were linsccd oil boiled linsecd
and the crude mineral oil known rs "blue
oil, and the exposure was on II roof fairly
exposed to the sun and weather, the bricks
being good sound, machine made. 1t is
stated that the amount of oil and water
taken up 10y the sandstone was very much
less than that absorbed by the bricks, al
though the area of the sandstone cubes
was much the greater. Equal amounts of
the raw and boiled oils We're absorbed
The blue OIL however, was taken up in
much greater quantity by both bricks
and sandstone, but by the end of IL
months the whole of the 1872 ounces of
blue oil had apparently evaporated, and
the bricks had returned to their original
state, but those treated with raw and
boiled oils were unchanged. Finally it
was seen that the sandstEle cubes treated

Potash is generally the most deficient III
complete fertilizers-that is, while ma
ture calls for about two pounds Of potash
for each one IOund of phosphoric acid,
complete fertilizers frequently have
these proportions exactly reversed. The
natural deduction is that i'll soils long
cultivated the potash is the element
most likely to become exhausted.
Potash exhaustion may be due to 9th
er causes than habitual deficiency i'll
manuring. Phosphoric acid in the soil
rapidly takes insoluble forms and suffers
little or nothing from teaching; potash
salts, as crude German salts or as wood
ashes, are readily soluble i'll water ard
subject to loss through drainage I 10
distribution process of soil moisture
tends to make IA most impartial appCr-
tionmcnt Of potash throughout the sub
soil and far down into the subsoil. Even
added to the soil i'll quantities suited to
the feeding demand of the plant, ii
supply of potash may become deficient.
Glover sickness, however, is rarely ever
due to such complex causes. 1t Is usu' T.
~ due to Il simple point bank deficiency
of both the chief mineral elements Of
fertility-phoSphate Of lime and potash.
A correspondent Of American Cultiva-
tor, writing from Cumberland county,
n. j., adds to the foregoing that i'll lis
section clover sickness is very common
particularly ON rented farms with ten
ants Of the one year rotation Where the
minerals are properly applied, quality
and quantity and Il rational rotation
practiced, be hears nothing Of clover

source of potash. but they run SO irrcgu-
larly and are 50 easily subject to adul-
iteration that lie has largely abandoned
them for the crude commercial salts,
which prove equally beneficial.

vitality of Seeds.

At the annual session Of the Society
For the Promotion of Agricultural
Science was reported among the results
of seed testing Il comparison in vitality
between corn kept in the ordinary crib
and that which had been hung up in
some warm, dry place, or otherwise
thoroughly dried. Over 600 samples
We're tested. Those carefully dried gave
an average termination of SO per cent,
while those from the crib an average Of
only G3 per cent. Another interesting
observation was the remarkable power
of reorganization exhibited by certain
seeds. Wheat Will terminate no less

a Good Clover Catch.

An eastern New York correspondent
complains of the increasing difficulty Of
getting good clover catch i'll his sec
tion. He thinks the trouble is that the
land is too rich i'll nitrogen. American
Cultivator, however believes that the
soil has been too much cropped and j.
not mellow and frialle as it used to be-
Not enough care is taken i'll spring to
get the soil in good condition for seed
ing with clover. The seed is very small,
and if the soil has been ploVod for a
spring crap the upturned furrow does
not make good seed bed. The best seed
ing Is with winter grain, which is light
ly narrowed early in spring just before
the clover seed is soWn. The authority
quoted thiuks there viii be no failure
this way ana adds:
Wealways have found that phosphatcs
with grain crops helped the clover quite
as much as they did the grain. But
some farmers use phosphates to grow
successive grain crops without clover.
That, Of course, is injurious, but land
so treated would not have too large Il
supply of nitrogen to grow clover. We
do not believe clover sickness is to be
feared i'll this country for many years
yet. If very rich land fails to grow
clover, it is because grain and weeds
smother it while young

CLOVER SICK SOIL.
Due TO a Deficiency of Phosphate of Lime

GRAND LODGE MEETS
TWO HUNDRED MASONIC DELE
GATES Al AToKA.
Work Done by the nody--rais Of n
Masonic Home-Muslsogee the
Next Meeting Place.

Atokn, I. IT.. August i4.-(speclaD.-
There were about two hundred dele
gates at the opening OF the grand
lodge A. Il. and a. NJ. yesterday. The
address of welcome was delivered by
Grand Secretary Murrow, and respond
ed to by Past Grand Master Robert w.
Hin of Muskugee. After the roll was
called the address OF Grand Master
John Coyle was read and referred 10
II committee The next business claim
ing the attention of the body was the
selection OF u suitable place for holding
the grand lodge next year. Pauls
Valley, Ardmore and Muskogee pre-
scented their claims for the honor The
ballot was taken, which resulted In
favor of Muskogee by small majority.
