UnhappineSS of Our Own Making.

John Bunyan, in his immortal
allegory, brings his Pilgrims to
certain "Delectable Mountains"
which are clad with orchards and
vineyards, with gardens and
fountains Of water. From these
sunny heights they caught some
glimpses of the Celestial City and
were regaled with pleasant fruits.
Now there is no reason why any
of us should be content to live
down among the dumps" of the
low grounds, or in those marshy
regions where the malaria of de-
spondency prevails. Much of our
unhappiness in this world Is of
our own making. We might have
a great many more joyous days
during our earthly pilgrimage.
When we have had a conflict
with some temptation, and by
Christ's impaired help have con-
quered it, then we reach delect-
able mount, and can sing a psalm
of gratitude. Every good deed
wrought for the master or our
fellcwmen, every answer 81
prayer, every new discovery of
Christ's love, every new attain
ment in the spiritual life, carries
us up into higher, purer atmos-
phere. We can read the eighth
chapter of Romans up there, and
sing the one hundred Psalm
The Christian.

When to Use PhOsphates.

The tendency of phosphates to
revert to insoluble forms when
brought in contact with dry earth
makes it necessary to use them
only in places and at times when
plenty Of rains will supply the
moisture to keep the plant food
IN condition for use. Hence
phosphate is much more effective
used on fall grown grain, or on
the crops planted very early in
spring. If long spell of dry
weather follows its application
the phosphate will revert so that
water alone will not again dis
solve il. But i'm soils which con
tain any organic matter the water
they contain must have an excess
of carbonic acid Gas, which is de-
rived from the decay of plants.
1t is this carbonic acid gas in
spring waters that makes them
bubble NY as they come out of
the earth and adds greatly to
their palatableness. In their
passage through the soil these
waters have come in contact with
much carbonic acid gas. and have
necessarily absorbed prat of it.
But on limestone soils this spring
water has already absorbed as
much lime as it can hold.
Both potash and salt are ex-
cellent for top dressing land on
which phosphate has been drilled
with the grain crop. 1t is not
best to try to mix these and drill
them together. The superphos
pilates in moist soil will help the
plant best alone. Besides, both
salt and potash draw moisture
from the air so rapidly that when
mixed with phosphate they make
it too wet and sticky to drill
evenly. But applied in spring
or fall, phosphated winter grain,
either salt or ashes, will produce
a very remarkable effect in en-
abling both the grain crop and
the grass or clover seeding to
utilize the phosphate applied the
fall before. Salt especially should
always be used on phosphated
land in the spring. 1t will be all
washed away by winter and spring
freshets if it is applied in the fall.

Good Roads.
III. K. G.. in Farm News.

In a circular, No. 30, issued
from the department of agricul-
ture, Washington, ID. c., there Is
published paper by @. l.. Whit
tie, ION the forces which operate
to destroy roads with notes on
road stones," etc. The author
classifies the destructive forces as
physical, dynamical and chem
lcal. Under each head, he in.
cldentaliy presents the different
kinds of roads building rock in
use, and suggests the best means
OF reducing the effects of the
destructive agencies to mini
mum.
The physical forces enumerated
are: frosts, the transporting eff
fects of winds, the weakening eff.
fects of rains and gravity.
The dynamical agencies are
friction and impacts under the
action of loaded wheels and the
hoofs of animals and 1.-THE disrup.

tlon and solution, under the in.
huence of mineral and organic
acids in combination with water.
The destructive effects of all
these are not specifically in their
place. The author, in the mean
time, enters upon the discussion
of road stones or road metals.
MIR. Whittle soon comes to the
conclusion that the trappean
rocks including diarites and
dlabases are altogether the best
rocks for road making. Other

road material, GRANTEES and
syenites. Our author places these
latter among the poorer material,
which he associates with lime
stones and marbles, which. "a his
opinion are the most objections.

There is, however, much more

WITH better understanding of tho

forts-gentlc eiforts-pleasant c fforts-

the knowledge, that so many forms Of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to n constipated condi-
ton OF the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it i5 the only
remedy with millions of families, and Is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debihtating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali

all reputable druggists.
