AGRICULTURAL TOPICS.


Conccntrating tho Manures
There is no farm that makes oil the
manure that its owner could proftably
use in cultivating it; hence we must
either purchase commercial fertilizers
or restrict his production to the area he
can fertilize. 1t does not pay to spread
nm insufficient quantity of manure over
the whole farm in order TO cultivate
the whole. That involves waste of
labor on land that had much better be
left in grass, though where there is d
near market for garden products buy
ing commercial fertilizers will always
pay. In proportion to their effective
ness, these concentrated manures pay
better than staple manure made on the
farm

without Character or Money.

Money is independence. Money is free
dom. Money is leisure Money Is the
qualification OF taste, benevolence and pub
lie spirit. The man is a fool or an angel
who does not try to make money. A clear
conscience, good health, and freedom from
want are among the essentials of a good,
joyful existence. Still, unfortunately Il
too often happens that people who have an
abundance of money are destitute of char
acter While it Is desirable that men
should have both, Notwithstanding all the
advantages of money il is better to have
character. The drunkard, however, usually
has no character and no money.

Dlssolvlng Bone with sulphurlo Acid.

1t is practically impossible for farm
ers who have raw bones to dissolve
them economically so as to get them in
such finely divided state that they can
easily be applied to crops as the COM
mercial phosphates are. These nre
made from burned bone, which can
then be finely ground, and the sui
phuric acid will dissolve it and reduce
to fine powder. We doubt whether
this can be done with green fresh bone,
which has animal matter in it nearly or
quite as important as the bone phos-
phate. If we had a big pile of bones
that we wanted to apply to land, we
should cut or break them in as fine
pieces as possible, and spread them
over an orchard or vineyard, then
blowing them five or six inches be-
meath the surface, taking care not to
put them below the vegetable mould.
In contact with this, enough carbonic
acid gas would be developed by the de-
composition of vegetable matter to dis
solve the outer portions of the broken
pieces of bone. These would be very
quickly covered with fine feeding roots
| from trees or vines. Wherever roots
are feeding, more carbonic acid gas is
developed. The result is that after
two or three ears the bone would be
honeycombed and filed with roots.
Even large bones can be disposed OF
this way without loss. Placed any
where in the soil of an orchard the
roots will be sure to find them.-Bos-

Spite OF the Increase In Population
John Demmi was a bachelor,
Who used to drive u hack;
He lived on Coney Island, but
Sometime on Coniac.
He loved q sweet teetotalcr,
Who told him he must stop,
Drop every habit that was bad
And no more take drop.
But John replied that he should die
without the cheerful cup;
He had to put some spirits down
To heep his spirits up.
1t warmed, he said, when he was cold
Or wet from snow or rain;
When dry or hot he needed it
To cool him off again.
You're always ailing, " said the maid,
You're getting thin and pale;
You never will be hale again
Until you quit the ale.
You must not rush the liquor, dear,
For surely, II you do,
You'll send for beer until at last
Tho bier will come for you.
Then sign the pledge and am yours,
With love both deep and strong,
II you will be my Johnny true,
And not demiiohn."

A RemnrISnble Duchess.

Speaking of some of the women
octogenariaus of England a writer in
London Answers pronounces as prob
ably the most remarkable member of
the aristocracy the aged Duchess of
Cleveland, famous by her own indi-
viduality, aud still more famous in the
person of her celebrated son, Lord
Rosebery. Though the Duchess is
well over eighty years of age, she is
more juvenile in some things than
many women of fifty. Her Grace al.
ways dresses in white whenever it is
at all possible, and she has a perfect
passion for travelling. Half her lif,
is spent on the continent or at tn,

Government employees die and none re-

that she was born in the White House,
and lock of her hair is now in the

The only argument advanced SO far by
the republican press of this district in

circuit bench, is that Joe Kirby is a bad
man We presume the application Of
the moral is that Judge Jones is at least
a better man than Joe Kirby. That be-

thing in favor Of Judge Jones as q fit
man for the bench. Judge Jones has
been or the bench nearly four years now

The fact is that Judge Jones is running

closing session of conference. A few
committee reports we're read and adopt
ed, the only one causing debate being
one on equal suffrage. A portion Of the
resolution was Objectionable in the word

and the remainder was, after debate,
adopted. The cause of opposition
seemed to be due to the fact that the
question was too much a political one
