BoNEMEAL OF DIFFERENT KINDS.

Bonemeal goes under various names,
such as ground bone. bone -four, 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 to five per cent. of nitrogen and
from twenty to twenty-five per cent.
of phosphoric acid. About one-third
to one-foul til 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 tineness of the meal affects its
value; the finer the meal the more
readily available is it us plant food.
On account of the increased demand
for bones for various purposes, and
on account of their increasing value,
these is considerable tendency to
adulterate bonemeal with such SUBJ
stances rs lime, gypsum, coal ashes,
ground oyster shells, ground rock
phosphate, etc. c.--Bulletin No. 81,

When people attempt the habits Of
angels. it is very easy for them to dis.
gust ordinary mortals.
Some men are like some dogs; they
are only fit to hunt deer, and there are
NO deer in the country.
How often events, by chance and
unexpectedly, come to pass, which you
had not dared to hope for.
How it does hurt us all to find out
that we are not of rs much consequence

There is nothing that q man can
less afford to leave at home than his
conscience or his good habits.
It is an easy matter to get your fell
lownen to speak well of you all you
have to do is lie down and die.
Every occasion will catch the sense
of the vain man, and with that bride

Doing is the great thing. For if.
resolutely, people do what is right. in
time they come to like doing it.
There are people who cannot distin-
guish between the notoriety itch and q
real desire to reform something.
General abstract truth is the most
precious of all blessings; without it
man is blind-it is the eye of reason.
There are so many funny people in
the world that it finally occurs to a
man that maybe he is funny himself.
True bravery is shown by perform
ing without witnesses what one might
be capable of doing before all the

Public sentiment powerfully re-
strains men from doing wrong; but,
when they have done wrong, sets it
self as powerfully against them.

Cheese Making IN 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 $11, :
600, 900. 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
ernment sends young men abroad to
study, and at present forty students
arc in Italy investigating the methods
OF the production of the famous Pauns-
can and Modena cheese of that coun.

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 eventful history; but the
prevailing opinion that it has been
lost since the lifetime of its original
owner seems far from correct. Ac.
cording to correspondent, who writes
to us on this subject, 1t has been in
the possession OF private individuals
until a comparatively recent period,
and he gives the following interesting
facts concerning its history: Some
thirty-five years ago the watch was in
the possession of distant relative of
Lord Lovat, it having been handed
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,
as security for 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 we'll 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. -

Crigia OF JinSO.

The origin of the word 'jingo" is
interesting at this time, when one is
confronted with it so often. At the
time of the close OF the Russo.Turkish
war, which. as all readers of history
know, terminated so disastrously for
the Turks, and caused feeling of ap-
prehension in England that the Rus.
slams were bent on taking Constanti.
nople and ultimate disemberment of
the Turkish Empire, a change which
could not be tolerated, the public feel
ing found expression in England upon
the stage in pantomimes and in the
music halls by numerous patriotic
songs. One of these was as follows:
"The dogs of war are loose. and the rugged
Russian bear,
Full bent on blood and robbery, has crawlei
out of his lair.
1t seems a thrashinS now andthen will never
help TO tame
That brute. aud So he's out upon the same
old game.
The lion did his best to give him some ex-
cuse
To crawl back to his den asa;n-all efforts
were no use.
He hungered for his victim. he's pleased
when blood is shed,
But let us hope his sins may recoll On his own
head"
CHORUS:
"we don't want to fight, but. by lingo, if We
do,
We've got the men, we've got the ships;
we've got the money, too.
We fought the bear before, aud while we're
Britons true
Tho Russians shall not have Constantine
pie"
The song became most popular and
was heard on every street corner, from
every organ grinder, and was whistled
by every bootblack. Shortly after this
the election campaign began, in which
Gladstone, the head os the Liberals,
attacked the Tory party, then led by
the Earl of Beaconsfiele, who was in
power. The Tory foreign policy was
ridiculed, and they were stigmatized
by the Liberals as ''the party OF blood
shed, glory and iingo."
From the time of this election cam.
paign, which resulted in the defeat OF
the Tories and the accession of the
"peace party" Gladstone's 1880 ad-
ministration, the word 'jipgo" has
been used to denote an individual or
section of party ready to rush, with
out mature consideration, into all the
horrors of war.-PIttsburg Dispatch.

WASHING SILK STOCKINGS.

All laundry operations are neces-
sarily complicated by cold weather
and 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, 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 strong
lather of borax soap and lukewarm
water. Wash the foot of the stocking
thoroughly with the hand. Then lay
the stocking on board and scrub it
thoroughly with 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
rub 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

ROOT PRUNING.

The wisdom of the ancients in some
respects surpassed that Of the mod.
erns. We read of the good effects of
digging about late. bearing fruit trees
and feeding them with manure. Now
Mr.. Meehan, one of the wisest and
most experienced of fruit growers, ex-
horts those who have tardily bearing
trees-and who has not t?-to do these
very things now. He advises root
pruning of such laggard trees. 1t is
first the nature of tree to make wood,
and to this end it must have abundant
foliage to gather from the atmosphere
the carbon needed to make the wood.
1t bears fruit in its old age to repro.
duce its kind, that is all. And just as
we have trained our COWS to make
milk for our use far in excess of the
natural desire of the animal, SO we
must train our trees to bear fruit in
the same manner. So we ge back to
the ancient device to dig about the
trees, cutting off the extended roots
and confning them to closer quarters,
thus preventing the excessive growth
of wood. This tends to fruit bearing.
and it is effective. The present is a
good time to do this work, for the
buds for the coming years growth are
maturing, and we may say whether
they shall be mere useless leaf buds or
profitable fruit buds. OF course, with
this pruning we add moderate fertil-
izing, for the reproductive process in
a plant, as it is in IN animal, is ex-
haustive. and needs stimulating by
abundant and good food. New York

WHAT THE SOIL NEEDS.

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
TODD 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.
Present methods Of cultivation are
detrimental to soil and do not accom-
plish desired results.
The continued .plowing at Ger.
tain depth causes 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 &c depth of one and halt to two
feet) admits the water to tho sub-soil,
prevents surface drainage and u sub
sequent erosion OF the soil, takes away
surplus water without washing tho sur
face aud retains the moisture for fu-
ture use Of crops.
