Potash is most important fertil-
izer for the orchard; it promotes
growth, improves the flavor of the
fruit by causing an increase of
sugar and decrease of acid and it
improves the color of the fruit, and
this is very important in apples in
tended for market. Apples draw
heavily on the soil, and especially
on this element; 100 barrels of
apples are said to draw more
heavily on the soil than crop of
fifty bushels of wheat. For fertil-
izing purposes, in 1000 pounds of
wood ashes there are sixty pounds
potash, worth 7 cents per pound or
81 20; thirty pounds phosphoric
acid at 5 cents; 100 pounds car
Donate of lime, value not counted;
value 1000 pounds wood ashes
SIS 20. A bushel weighs about so
pounds and is worth 80 cents. In
1000 pounds complete fertilizer
there are seventy pounds nitrogen
worth 20 cents per pound or $1.4;
thirty pounds potash at Z cents or
50 10; sixty pounds phosphoric
acid at 5 cents or SO; total value
$40 10 or nearly 2 cents per pound.
In 1000 pounds stable manure
there are pounds nitrogen worth

FARM Notes.
growing Tomatoes.

w. w. Tracy, of Detroit, has
called attention to the habits and
surroundings of this plant in its
native tropics. Under natural con-
ditions, from the time the seed ger
inmates until the plant is exhaust
ed by bearing fruit, there is not
any check in its growth from chill
or other untoward circumstances,
and it has consequently acquired a
constitution which resents any
check. When, therefore, the plants
are exposed to temperature of 45
degrees they not only stop growing,
but they lose vigor and vital ener-
gy, even although they are not kill
ed. This indicates the true method
Of cultivation which was clearly
described by Mr.. Tracy that is, a
thorough preparation of the ground
beforehand by frequent stirring;
sowing the seed as late as from
April ! to 10; keeping the plants
growing steadily in a good cold
frame and not setting them out un-
til cold storms are over, which is
not much before June in his lati-
tude.
In the current issue of The Rural
New Yorker Mr.. Tracy cites some
instances to show that this most
remarkable theory works we'll in
practice. A field of tomatoes in
Oakland county, Mich, treated in
the usual way-that is, with the
seed sown in March, planted in
rich ground in such a way that
they were checked for about ten
days, after which they commenced
rapid growth, SO that they soon
surpassed in size the plants in an
adjoining field from seed sown
three or four weeks later and set
out in ground that had been Guilt
waited several times in such a way
that they received no check. In
spite of the vigorous growth of the
stalks and leaves, the first field
yielded less than 300 bushels to the
acre, and the second yielded about
800 bushels of excellent fruit. OF
course, there were differences in
cultivation, For example, the sex
ond field was cultivated every
week, and sometimes oftener, and
care was taken to stir the surface
only, while the other field was Gull
tivated three times, as deeply as
the implement would run. Never
theless, this will not altogether ac-
count for the difference in the
yield, and it appears plain that Mr..
Tracy's suggestions will be found
very useful to all who study them
SO that they can adopt the practice

An attempt to improve the flock
is all right, but one would better
buy thoroughbred eggs or fowls
than to try to grade up the common
stock, because it saves time, and 60
ing up hill is not always successful
work. Be satisfied with nothing
but the best.
Hens like variety; unless starved
to it, they will reject all kinds OF
food not suitable, and they are
usually the better judges Of what
they want and need. Long legged
fowls are hard to fatten, but those
with short legs soon become plump.
Many good horses are injured by
illtempered men in kicking them in
the bowels the tenderest part of
the horse. Never kick horse or
allow the help to do so; it is a dan
gerous practice. Never punish a
horse for being frightened or shy
ing; kindness and caressing will
better calm his fears.
The life of bee in the busy sea-
son is very brief. It is conceded
that during the honey flow they do
not live more than six or eight
weeks; they live longer when con-
fined to the hive during Winter.
When Spring comes they are at the
goal of their existence, and unless
substituted by young bees the hive
must inevitably perish.
Give the hens all possible free
dom and there will be less trouble
with soft shelled eggs, for they will
get the exercise and pick up what
lime they need. If they have
stopped laying, change of food
will soon start them in business
again; and always does variety of
food bring the best results.
If hen is gorged during the
day she will go into a corner and
NOPE, and soon cease to lay, but if
fed heartily at night the food is di-
gested by morning, and she comes
out bright and active; and while
she is going through with this pro-
cess see that she has warmth, VEN
tilation and perfect cleanliness.

Among the Poultry.


Do not overcrowd the poultry
house.
A close, ill-ventilated house is a
foul house.
Keep pure fresh water within the
reach of fowls.
Young ducks are most easily
raised in small yards.
Ducks grow very rapidly in pro-
portion to the food consumed.
Nothing tends to engender dis
ease in chickens more than filth in
the coops.
A duck fattens easily. This
should be guarded against when
they are laying.
Set the hens in a cool place and
on the ground, as the weather be-
gins to get hot.
Too much linseed meal will make
the hens too fat, but small guam
tity is healthful.
Bran should always be scalded
before being fed, as the fowls will
relish it much better.
There is no good reason for keep
ing and feeding old male birds after
the Matching season is over.
Keep the young turkeys up until
the dew has dried off the grass,
and keep them dry in wet weather.
When it is desired to push the
growth, rather better results can
be secured by feeding cooked food.
When the hens are crowded they
must compete and struggle with
each other for room on the roosts.
A small flock with plenty OF
room will thrive and the hens will
lay better than larger, crowded
flock.
More meat and better meat in a
shorter space of time can be pro-
duced from poultry than in any
other way.
AS rule the turkey hens prefer
to steal their nests out, and if the
eggs are scared it is necessary to
watch them.
One stumbling block with poul-
try-keeping is in attempting To
keep too large a number in toe

or more, even, since DR.. Jacques be
came certain that he had solved the
problem, although mis- patents were not
taken out until this spring. Just how
ne worked il out would be a long story.
The conditions were that ne should
ma way by which carbon could pc
oxldlzed and consumed, not by com
buslon as in fire, but at a low tenn
peTature, converting the energy of the
carbon INTO electricity instead OF heisA.
1t was necessary that this oxidation
should be easily regulated and thai the
fluid in which the carbon was i'm
mersed, the electrolyte. should not suf-
fer deterioration in the process.
Dr.. Jacques conceived the idea and
this IS the very kernel of his great
discovery that the oxygen of the air
might be made TO combine with. car
bon, not directly but through the aid
of an intervening electlpiyte which
would carry the air and present IT TO
the carbon. In order to do this he
tried forcing air through the electrolvte
believing the latter would take up a.
part Of the air and present it to the
carbon, and that the latter would i'm
mediately accept it and by combining
with the oxygen which forms a part
OF the air, insure true and perfect
oxidation.
He succeeded, and, further, he found
that when this stick of carbon and the
rim of the iron pot containing the
eleetrolyte were connected with wire,

The cruel humiliation Austria sui
feredl in Italy was followed by the
crushing blow at Sadowa, and the not
less painful collapse of a brother am
bitions in Mexico. If the dignity of a
Caesar was TO be saved for the Haps-
burgs out of the wreck, it seemed most
likely to be achieved on the lines sug-
gested by Count Beust. The choice
once made, it was impossible to turn
back. What is given as a boon to
distressed nationalities in the name of
progress cannot afterward be with
drawn on the plea of prudence. The
result is pathetic, but there is no help
for it.

half barbarous hordes cutting one an
bining to insult the civilized Hungari-

be their neighbors. We see Vienna
itself in the hands of a fanatical anti
Semitic rabbie, and we see the power
of the only capable parliamentary
party in Austria broken by hopeless
dfssensions. Truly the domestic state
of the empire is nothing less than pit
liable. Its influence in Europe is also a
thing of the past. The Balkan states,
which were its props in the south,
have publicly gone over to Russia, and
its solitary remaining protection
against dismemberment is the alliance
with Italy, which covets Dalmatia, and
with Germany, which is moving heav-

tions with Russia.-Saturday Review.
