Different Kinds of Bone Meal.

Bulletin New York station.
Bone meal is not confined to one name,
but is known also as ground bone, bone
-four bone dust, etc We find in the mar
ket raw bone meal and steam bone meal.
Raw bone meal contains the fat natural
ly present in bones. The presence of the
fat is Objectionable, because 1t makes the
grinding more difficult And retards the
decomposition of the bone in the soil,
while fat itself has no value as plant
food. When bones are steamed the fat
is removed and the bone is more easily
ground Moreover, the chemical nature
of the nitrogen compounds appears to
be changed in such a manner that the
meal undergoes decomposition in the soil
more rapidly than in the case of raw
bone. The presence of easily decaying
nitrogen compound in bone hastens, in
the process of decomposition, to dissolve
more or less of the insoluble phosphate.
Bone meal should contain from to 5
per cent of nitrogen and from 20 to. 25
per cent of phosphoric acid. About one
third to one-fourth of the latter appears
to be in readily available condition. Raw
bone meal generally contains somewhat
more nitrogen Il or per cent? and rather
less phosphoric acid than steamed bone
meal
The fineness of the meal affects its
value; the finer the meal the more readily
available is 1t as plant food.

Farm Notes.

On many farms the weather wears out
more tools than use, and wastes more
food than all the stock on the place.
stock.
Not less food, but food better adapted
to the purpose for which the animal Is
kept and fed in such manner as to give
the best results, is the line of investiga-
ton for the farmers and feeders today.
; One cannot expect to take off heavy
crops for successive years without re-
turning fertility of some sort to the soil.
Clay or heavy loan soils are best for
grass, and when once well seeded will
improve. thicken up and bear heavier
crops for many years; in fact, can be kept
in grass as long as desired If properly

There is no better trap for moths that
infest fruit trees than wide mouth jars.

are placed and Suspended from the limbs
of the trees here and there, one bottle to
eight or ten trees. The odor attracts the
moths and they sip only to be caught.
Moths, let it be understood, are night flies
with but few exceptions. 1t is well to
place such Jars In the posts of the garden
fence. Many injurious insects may then
be destroyed. Put out the traps early
so as to catch the first brood.

Thomas LAagher and His Curious Exper3'
ences, Physical and OtherWise-


Thomas LAaGher and His Curious Experi-
ences. Physical and Otherwise-
Thomas Laugher, who is said to have
died at the age of liz, has an amusing
record that connects him with Holborn.
He was a well educated man, for he had
studied at Christchurch, Oxford, for 10
years In early life he had been a wine
merchant in Tower street and failed,
owing TO the failure of a very large
house in the same trade, Neele, Fordyce
& Co. 1t so affected Laugher that he be-
came blind and speechless, and the skin
peeled off from the whole Of his body.
Though a wine merchant, he never
drank any fermented liquor for the first
80 years Of his life. The old mans
memory was prodigious- He well re-
membered, in 1905, seeing Queen Anne
going to the house of peers, seated ON
pillion behind the Lord Chancellor, and
he talked about the death of William
Ill He had been a well made man,
rather above the middle height. At so
he had a severe fit of illness, and then q
fresh head of hair came, and new nails
on the fingers and toes. A contraction
that took place in the fingers Of each
hand at this instant remained always
after Nothing is said about new teeth
coming i'll his case, and he must soon
have recovered sight and speech, which
misfortune had deprived him o4 so
abruptly.
He had a son, who died at the age Of
so, and whom he always called poor
Tommy" This boy of fourscore looked
very much older than his father, and the
fact led to some curious mistakes ON the
part of strangers who saw them togeth-
q. Once, when they were walking in
lIolborn, the son could scarcely keep
l,lce with the father-in fact, with so
e-eat difficulty and distress did he do so
that he attracted the attention of gen
tleman, who went up to old Laugher to
expostulate with him on his want Of
fiiial duty in not aiding more his vener-
able father. The old man told him Of
his mistake, but the stranger refused TO
give the least credit to his assertion un-
til somebody passing at the time, who
knew the Laughers we'll, certified to the
perfect truth of the story.
All four turned laughers then; at
their separation all HOlborn beamed
with smiles, and grew quite radiant for
amomeEt, but the next second it relapsed
into its bustling but somewhat melan-
choly quotidian business-cash hunting.
One feels amused at this fussy morahst,
who showed such prevailing anxiety
and officiouSness 10 direct others in the
payh of virtue, smiting as the mote, un-
conscious of the beam. Notes and Que

The Horseshoe Superstition.

The other day as wedding guests were
leaving the old South church a motor
man left his car to pick up horseshoe.
For luck? Not at all, but because it lay
directly on the rail ahead, and in the in
terest of passengers and possibly rolling
stock he gathered it not over tenderly
and gave it a fling so that it fell almost
at the feet Of three ladies, one of whom
was about to pick it up, when practi-
cal member of the trio said Don't soil
your gloves, and never mind if there are
three nails in it. 1t was not you who
found it, but the motorman, and he has
flung it away, good luck and all " The
citizen passed the spot shree minutes
later, and no trace Of the horseshoe was
found Why? Because a Beacon street
girls escort captured it and carried il
off ON his cane.-Boston Post.

HOW 10 REMEMBER.

Advice to Those Wishing To Commit Songs
On Music to Memory.
Il wish you would teach me how to
commit to memory the songs | want to
sing" said al amateur musician 10 a
friend. Il have never been able to COM
mis- my music to memory-at least have
never done so-and think it would be
of use to me if l could. "
The process is not q difficult one,
was the reply II have always found it
easy to remember songs and poems by a
cei tain rule or method that I adopted a
lo:lg time ago. Take any popular song,
Tie Last Rose of Summer, for exam
PIE 1t Is a good plan to read it over and
get the sentiment of the verse, which
conprehends the idea Of loneliness, the
fading away of beautiful things and the
lack Of sympathy i'll sadness. The rose is
blooming alone. Its companions are
faced aRd gone. No flower or kindred
is nigh to share its pleasures or answer
TO its sighs. This is the groundwork
the skeleton, so TO speak-of the verse.
Impress this firmly on the mind and
funiliarize the thought with the senti-
ment. Imagine the garden with the one
rose and faded leaves all around Once
this is fixed in the memory it is com
paratively easy TO fill in the remainder
Of the words. This is one Of the simplest
and surest way of committing the words
Of song to memory.
with most people memorizing the
air of the song is much easier, and this
is done by humming again and again,
referring to the music whenever there is
any question. 1t is important TO learn
an air correctly at first, for when a mis-
take is made at the outset one is almost
certain to blunder at the same place ever
afterward. New York Ledger

The woman's Bible.

We have read some of the passages OF
the commentary prepared for the WON
ans Bible" by that very accomplished
American woman and Biblical student,
Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton. They are
q great deal more satisfactory than
many of the comments upon the same
texts that we have read in other and
more pretentious commentaries. Mrs.
Stanton's interpretative remarks are Of
ten shrewd and sensible. They could
perhaps sometimes be rendered more ac-
ceptable to the critical mind by the as
sistance Of a rabbi we'll versed in the

formance. This thing has to be re-.
peated almost lnnumerable times, till
the dog, at q certain word or motion,
executes his task without the slightest
hesitation or error.
"Now, such thing as this is simply
the A B c Of dog education. It is a
totally different matter to make dog
perform the most intricate tricks. The
natural position of the animal is rest
ing on its four feet; any trick in
which he is permitted to retain this
position is comparatively easy to make
him do. I have fox terrier which
have taught to roll ball OF. "a small
cylinder in any sidewise,
backward or forward. Now, the strang-
est part of this trick-t that that which
appears the very hardest is for the
dog evidently the easiest. He will get
up with his four feet on ball not
much bigger than an ordinary toy
balloon and roll it everywhere, in
whatever direction you wish, with eyi-
dent pleasure and ease. But when he
has to put two paws, whether front or
hind, on the ball, and the other two
on the floor, he does not do it nearly
80 well nor with any pleasure. This
is because the animal does not feel SO
sure as when he stands with his four
feet pretty close together. This ter
rier will roll a bail up or down a steep
incline, while standing on it, with
relish, but put his ears back and look
frightened to death if he is told to
only use his forepaws in rolling it on
the level floor.

trick can be taught by persuasion, still

Island, on the Georgia side. With the
aid of a good pair Of marine glasses
the tower can be described as built OF
stone and apparently hoary with age.
Indeed, the native Georgian has no
greater pleasure than to pour into the
astonished ears Of Northerners the
tale that it was erected by the Spanish
about the same time as the structure
at st. Augustine. But the hard and
rather unpoetic facts of the case are
that the United States Government
built the place as a defense against
the British in 1912, tome eighty-four
years ago.
It is termed, in military parlance, a
Martello tower. being copied from
similar defenses erected along the
English coasts when Napoleon was
threatening to invade Britain. The
tower saw some little active service in
the Civil War. but, of course, was even
then not more dangerous or stronger
than stone dwelling.
Atpresent it is used as reporting
and signal station, and during the
bathing season it is favor1te visiting
place for the guests of the fashionable e
hotels at Tybee Beach, the noted
Southern seaside resort. There are
few objects on our coasts more strik-
ing and picturesque than the tower at
Tybee, and it only lacks few legends
of Spanish possessions, sieges. etc., to
make it famous.

time and patience required to teach
the animals. A reporter for the New
York Times was SO fortunate as to run
across a veteran dog trainer who had
just finished successful European
season. A few questions brought out
some most Interesting facts relative
TO educated dogs and dog educators.
'It is great mistake to suppose, ("
said this famous dog trainer, "that all
dogs can be made to perform any
trick, however simple, successfully.
1t is equally true-and too much EN-.
phasis cannot be put on the fact-that
perhaps not one man in every five
thousand is fit to educate a dog. You
may laugh at this assertion, but it is
painfully true, nevertheless. First of
all, man who intends to be success
full with dogs must really love the ami
mails. Dogs, far more than any dumb

How an Antelope Kills a RattIesnake

One Of the worst foes the rattle
snake ever had on the Western prairies
was the antelope. This wary animal,
allied to the deer species, is extremely
timid and SO afraid of man that only
the best hunters could ever bag one.
But they had no fear of the rattler,
and when one of the reptiles was en-
countered it was speedily dispatched.
The method of the antelope in
making war on the serpent was unique
and heroic. The antelope walked
around the snake few times awaiting
a favorable opportunity. When it
came there was quick bound and the
sharp hoofs of the antelope came
down with deadly effect on the body
of the snake. With movements as
rapid as thought the antelope jumped
out of danger only to spring back on
its victim again and again until the
body of the snake was cut into mince-
meat.
Old hunters say that it was rarely
that an antelope was bitten in such an
encounter with rattler, and the
snake was always killed unless it found

is low, movable partition. The dog
runs in the space between, and, of
course, must return the same way he
came. AS soon as he reaches the lower
end, one or two hoops or low hurdles
are placed in his way. In his friski.
ness the puppy rarely stops for such
apparent trihes, but, all eagerness to
get at the ball, gayly skips over or
through these distractions. In this
way he is encouraged and taught to
take leaps, higher and higher, through
any quantity Of hoops, being rewarded
with bit Of cheese or lump of sugar
after any particularly successful per-
