BoNEMEAL OF DIFFERENT KINDS.

Bonemeal goes under various names,
such as ground bone, bone flour, bone.
dust, etc. We find in the market raw
bonemeal and steamed bonemeal.
Raw bonemeal contains the fat natur.
ally present in bones. The presence
of the fat is Objectionable, because it
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. More
over, the chemical nature of the nitro
gen compounds appears to be changed
in such a manner that the meal under
goes decomposition in the soil more
rapidly than in case of raw bone. The
presence of easily decaying nitrogen
compounds in bone hastens, in the
process of decomposition, to dissolve
more or less of the insoluble phos.
phate. Bonemeal should contain from
three 10 five per cent. of nitrogen and
from twenty to twenty-five per cent.
of phosphoric acid. About one-third
to one-foul tn of the latter appears to
be in readily available condition.
Raw bonemeal generally contains
somewhat more nitrogen lone or two
per cent and rather less phosphoriC
acid than steamed bonemeal.
The fineness of the meal affects it:
value; the finer the meal the more
readily available is it as plant food.
On account of the increased demand
for bones for various purposes, and
on account of their increasing value,
these is considerable tendency tc
adulterate bonemeal with such sub
stances as lime, gypsum, coal ashes,
ground oyster shells, ground roch
phosphate, etc. Bulletin No. 81,

A Watch with a History.

The watch of Lord Lovat, the last
victim OF the executioner's axe in Eng
land, which has been discovered in the
ruins of an old house in Newton street,
Holborn, notorious at one time as the
abode of criminals OF the worst type,
has had an eventiul history; but the
prevailing opinion that it has been
lost since the lifetime of its original
owner seems far from correct. Ac.
cor6ing to a correspondent, who writes
TO us on this subject, it has teen in
the possession of private individuals
until comparatively recent period,
and he gives the following interesting
facts concerning its history: Some
thirty-hve years ago the watch was in
the possession of q distant relative of
Lord Lovat, it having been harded
down from generation to generation
for over 100 years. At that time, how
ever, the then owner of the watch was
in temporary pecuniary embarrass-
ment, and gave the valued relic, one
of number he possessed at the time,
rs security for a small loan but when
shortly afterward, on getting uneasy
at the watch getting out of his hands,
he managed to obtain the money to
redeem 1T, he was informed by the
gentleman in whose hands the watch
had been placed that it had been stolen
from him, aud that he had been en-
tirely unsuccessful in his endeavors to
discover its whereabouts. The son of
the before mentioned gentleman, who
has in his possession at the present
time the cap in which Lord Lovat was
executed, as well as some seals and
other interesting relics of the famous
JAcobite, has recognized the watch as
the one at one time belonging to his
father, and is now in communication
with the manager of the Holborn Res
taurant, in the hope that he may re-
cover the relic, which is OF such family
interest. Other claims have been
made besides the above, but on en-
tirely different grounds principally by
claimants of Lord Lovat's estate. =

TEMPERANCE



A correspondent requests us 10 state IN
brief reasons why total abstinence should
be practiced as remedy for intemperanoe.
With this request we gladly comply. Total
abstinence is the practice OF that principle
which restraints an individual from either
taking or giving intoxicating liquors, and
induces him TO discountenance all the cau0es
and practlceso OF intemperance. Its design IS
to suppress and prevent intemperanco; by
the former to effect the reformation OF the
drunkard, by the latter TO secure the per-
manent sobriety OF the sober.
That II Is sufficient TO accomplish this two
fold object will be manifest when we con-
slider (D It is safe in its operation; from the
very nature Of total abstinence Il cannot pos
sibly injure ono In any respect, and II may
be practlced with perfect safety, either as re.
CARDS mans physical. intellectual or moral
nature, or his domestic or social welfare.
(2) II is simple aud definite. simplicity
In anything Is great recommendation, and
so II is here. The principle is so simple that
child can understand and practice II. II IL
also definite; in this It is in striking contrast
to mo leratlon claimed by some TO be n REM
edy. No one can mistake the prescription oi
total abstinence. IL is abstain from every
thing that can lead to intemperance
(8) II is efflcacious. II il was deficient In
this respect, however excellent otherwise. II
would still be deficient in that which could
alone recommend II TO practical use. But in
this respect as well as in Others its charac-
ter is fully vindicated, for both reason and
experience concur in demonstrating its ef-
ficacy. Reason teaches, for Il Is the plainest
OF all truisms that it man never drinks
that which will in;oxicate he can never be-
come drunkard; or. II he is one and ceases
to drink, he will cease TO be u drunkard,
Experience all testines 20 its efficacy.
In enterprises OF worldly nature, men
are induced TO engage in them by prospect
Of future gain; here IL is different. True, we
may point to the good that will yet be ac-
complished--for much remains to bo done
but. at the same time, We can triumphantly
point to the good which Il has already
achieved as an evidence Of what It can and
will yet do. We can point to thousands and
hundreds Of persons who have been rescued
from a state OF utter degradation aud re-
stored to the church and the community by
means OF total abstinence. Turn TO the an
nails OF tho triumphs of this reform and see
not merely persons so benefited but fam
lilies whose homes were once scenes Of
wretchedness now scenes OF happiness; hus.
bands and wives whom intemperance had
separated now united, and children who
we're growing up to be the pests OF society
now trained up in the way they should go;
In short, in every part of the world where
The principles of abstinence have prevailed,
there are multitudes OF livi ng witnesses tes-
tying TO its practical fielency.-National

they must have a supply in order to

WHAT THE SOIL NFEns.

Exhaustive Soils" So called, may
contain as much plant food as others
that are considered fertile.
The physical effect of fertilizers in
changing the relation of the soil to
heat and moisture is OF more i'm
portance than the amount of plant
food they furnish.
The effect of fertilizers depends
largely upon the season. Changing
seasons have more effect upon plant
growth than does the plant food in
the soil.
Physical conditions of heat and
moisture largely determine the de-
velopment and yield of crops.
Deterioration of lands is due not so
much to loss of plant food as to
changes in the texture of the soil in
relation to heat and moisture.
Making use of the rainfall is the
most important consideration Of mod
ern agriculture.
Crop production is not directly lin.
tied by the amount of rainfall, but by
the amount of moisture in the soil.
Production of crops depends upon
the control of moisture and heat in the
soil.
AS heat cannot be controlled, the
whole art of cultivation should be di.
rected toward the control of moisture.
I Present methods of cultivation are
detrimental to soil and do not accom-
plish desired results.
| The ,,fnufpo, a. n on,,
tain depth causes a hard packing of
the sub.suriace, which forms water
shed, causing surface drainage and
erosion of the soil by which thousands
of acres of fertile lands are rendered
barren every year.
Sub-soiling (loosening of the under
soil tc a depth of one and half to two
feet admits the water to the sub-soil,
prevents surface drainage and a sub
sequent erosion of the soil, takes away
surplus water without washing the sur,
face and retains the moisture for fu,
ture use of crops.
Sub-soiling affords the only means
for controlling moisture in the soil
and is key TO successful crop-raising
The modern piow is but an i'm
proved type of the primitive forked
stick, and does not accomplish salts
factory results, but, on the contrary
is an enemy to fertility, and the com
mon sub-soil plow is unsatisfactory
in many ways.
Existing conditions and the futur,
prosperity of the fnrmer depend upol
the production of an implement whicl
shall be a radical improvement on tn
modern plow, and which will reyol
utionize modern methods.
The future plow must not onl
thoroughly pulverize the surface to
proper depth, but it must leave tn

PLEA FOR HOUSE PLANTS.

A pretty idea in decorating ones
room for an entertainment is to place
pots of palms, growing ferns or flowers
on the shelves above the doors usually
devoted to pottery. Placed at this
elevation they are most effective and
are, besides, out OF the way as regards
wall and floor space, which is often a
consideration.
For plants that do not require sun.
light the idea might be carried furth-
er, and certain kinds might always be
LETT on such q shelf. Flowers give an
air to room that nothing else can i'm
part---a touch of nature, a cosy, home
like alr-.but in our rage for the
aesthetic they have in a measure been
banished, since beth the pots and the
shelves or stands for holding them are
considered unsightly. But the dull
red of the common flower pot has a
beauty of its own, and there Is no "a
son why a sunny window should not
be fitted with a strong shelf, upheld
by ornamental brackets and surround
ed with fretwork or with homemade
arrangement of spindles and balls,
that would be graceful and pretty.
Half a dozen we'll cared for plants
on this shelf will do more toward
making your room beautiful than ten
times their cost expended in china or
furniture or wall paper. Your friends
will look at your blooming hyacinths
and your sturdy geraniums and forget
to notice how faded is the carpet and
how worn the covering of the furni.

WASHING SILK STOCKINGS.

All laundry operations are neces-
sarily complicated by cold weather
aud frost. Cotton goods OF strong
quality are usually improved by freez-
ing, but fine goods and linens that are
allowed TO freeze must be handled
very carefully, or they will be cracked
by being folded when they are frozen.
1t is, therefore, a good plan to dry
valuable linens within doors in winter,
even at the risk OF their becoming
slightly yellow.
Silk stockings ought to be dried
within doors. The best way to wash
these stockings is to make q strong
lather OF borax soap and lukewarm
water. Wash tho foot of the stocking
thoroughly with the hand. Then lay
the stocking on board and scrub it
thoroughly with q piece of white
flannel, rubbing it with the flannel
and lather of soap. If the stockings
are black or dark in color, put tea
spoonful of OK gall IN the lather used
to wash them. When they are washed,
rinse them thoroughly in three waters.
Blue the last water if the stockings are
pearl white or black, but not for de-
licate-colored silk. Dry the stockings
indoors by pinning them wrong side
outward on sheet before the fire.
When they are half dry turn them,
put them on the ironing blanket and
rnb them the direction of the nap
with hard roller made by wrapping
a small piece of hard wood in flannel.
This makes them look smooth, and is
far better than ironing. Boston

Cheese Making m Switzerland.

In Switzerland the making OF cheese
is not left to hazard and to the whim
or ignorance of the peasant. Not only
is its consumption very large, but the
expectation of cheese from the little
Republic last year amounted to gil, :
600, 600. For these reasons the Gov
ernment takes paternal interest in
the industry and to this end has es-
tablished cantonal schools, the pupils
of which are taught the theory and
the practice of cheese making by emf
nent professors. The course is twelve
months, and the curriculum includes
hygiene, physics, chemistry, pastur-
age, manufacture and accounts. Not
content with this, the Federal Gov
eminent sends young men abroad to
study, and at present forty students
are in Italy investigating the methods
OF the production of the famous Pauns-
can and Modena cheese of that coun-
try. Francisco Chronicle.
