PHOSPHATE ANpstPEFPHOsPHATE or LIME,
The true phosphate OF lime as found
in bones is mixed, wAilo the bones are
fresh, with some animal matter whose
decomposition makes the phosphate
more soluble than it would otherwise
be. But drying by exposure to air
and by the heat from cooking re-.
moves the eelaLine and leaves the
phosphate only very slightly soluble.
Yet wherever the bone is in contact
with decomposng vegetable matter,
the carbonie acid gas thus furnished,
makes a little of the bone soluble, so
that plant roots can take something
from it. Most Of the bone used for
making fertilizer has been before used
for other purposes, and is dried or
possibly burned. This charred bone
is ground very fine, and is largely
used in sugar refneries to remove i'm
purities. But the burning puts the
bone into still more insoluble condi-
ton. Therefore, it is treated with
sulphuric acid, which unites with most
of the lime, forming sulphate Of lime
or common land plaster. bat at the
same time leaving the phosphorus acid
free for the use OF pants. There is no
reason, as you will see, for the com.
mon practice of farmers to make
superphosphato 60 farther by mixing
it with land plaster. The large bulk
OF superpho phate is that, and adding
more only makes the fertilizer revert
more quickly to insolub!e conditions.
There is always this liability to loss in
using suparphosphate, especially if
used in dry seasons and on land that
contains little vegetable matter. On
mucky soils the generation Of carbonio
acid gas keeps the superphosphate IL
condition to be used as plant food. :

cGEANLINEss ~ pAIRY WORK.

Life, it has been said, is made up oil
little things, and it can be said that
dairying is made up the same way-in
fact, any business is made up OF little
things and details. and If these are not
properly attended to, failure results,
One of tho most important details
OF dairying is cleanliness. Thisshould
be observed from the milking of the
cows to the packing Of the product
butter especially.
The daily cleaning of dairy utensils
is one OF the important factors in pro-
noting cleanliness. All the milk in
or on dairy utensil should first be
rinsed Oft with water far below the
scalding point before any water up to
that point is used. II sending water
is used at the start the milk is cooked
and then it is almost impossible to re-
move 1t from the article-especislly
the creases OF seams il any there be.
If scalding water Is used Oh milk
strainer of fine meshes before the milk
has been rinsed with water OF lower
temperature the slrainer will be about
as good Us ruined and the same will
result if the milk is allowed to dry in,
Therefore, if the user is not ready to
rinse Off the milk as soon as through
using let the straiuer be put under
water and left there till it can be
properly cleaned.
The cans OF portable creameries
should be kept scrupuously clean.
This can be easily accomplished If at
tended to every time they are emptied
and the rules above mentioned OBJ
served.
The water and ice tank OF a porta,
BILE creamery should be carefully looked
after, In the frst place care should
be taken to thoroughly rinse off all
saw-dust that may stick to the ice be-
fore the latter IS placed in the tank.
Next, be sure when strainlng the milk
not to spill any Of it into the water.
But if any gets into it then change
the water at specially during
warm weather.
Every dairyman should have dairy
room or house, and it should be loca-
ted where no foul doors would be likely
to rench it.
That cleanliness is next to Goodness
is especially true when applied to dairy
ing. Western Rural.

Buy Grape Fruit fer Oranges.

"Ihere are great many people who
buy grape fruit thinking that they are
getting nice, large oranges. AS soop
as they bite into the fruit and find
bitter taste a complaint OF swinCling
Immediately goes up. They think
that they have had pOImed off on them
oranges unfit to eat" said q fruit
dealer yesterday. "Now, about
twenty years ago, when the shaddook,
as the grape fruit was then called, was
being introduced to Americans from
China, where it was known as the pc.
malo, fakirs were about the only per.
SONS who would handle the fruit.
They sold them for oranges, and there
was no limit to the number of people
2ho were deceived Fruit dealers
found it an advantage not to handle
them very extensively. Since then,
however, the fruit has become much
more desirable through scientific cul-
tiYatioa-and it is eaten generally. 1t
IS a good appetizer and is line thing
for persons troubled with malaria.
"Qhe fruit is called grape fruit be-
cause it grows in clusters like grapes.
The clusters contain between ninety
and 100 pieces of the fruit, each OF
which averages about pound in
weight. So, you see, it takes pretty
strong branch to hold even one bunch.
Ihe Florida fruit is the finest grown.

FIRST GERMAN LADIES' CLUB.

German women are advancing grad
ually, although as yet long way from
tho heights of emancipation to which
their British sisters have attained by
almost unconscious evolution. The first
German ladies' club was opened in Ber-
lin in January under the presidency
Of Frau Minnie XAVIER. Its member
ship will include all women doing liter
airy, artistic, scientific and social work,
without distinction, rank or party.
The club, which aims at sociability
and intellectual suggestion, is formed
on American lines. and inspires hope
that the different groups Of the modern
German womans movement, after
working against one another, will now
be brought together under one banner.

On Monday, the 10th, Harold Marqui-
oee, of Utica, n. T., was arrested in SYRIA
cuse, N. n. on q warrant sworn. out by
the DR.. Williams Medicine Co, charging
him with forgery. On the 10Th of De-
cember MarQuisee visited a photo-engrav-
er in Syracuse. saying he was the repre-
sentative of the DIR. Williams Medicine
full set Of plates for the direction sheets.
labels, etc, Of the famous Dr.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. News of
this reached the home Office. and nc time
was lost in arranging for his arrest when
he should return for the plates. He re-
turned on the 10th and was accordingly
arrested and is now in Jail in Syracuse
March 2.
This arrest proves to be an important
one. In addition to various plumber. sue
as medical books, typewriters. rugs, etc..
found in Marquisee's trunk when arrest
both in the trunk and on his person: and
IN q search of his apartments at UTICA
found q complete outfit for counterfeit
Ing, consisting of crucibles. bellows. nick

smith forge. a charcoal furnace. and
ssvsral plasterof.paris moplds. The
soon as the DIR. Williams Medicine Co.
are through with him. and, no doubt, he
will be sentenced for Il long period.
In selecting DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for his counterfeiting operations. he
showed his knowledge Of the proprietary
medicine business: for these pills are in
such great demand that they are easily
sold at any drug store in the United
States. His scheme was to work the
country druggists and sell his limitations
at a discount of from . per cent. to 5 per
cent, explaining the reduced price by the
fact that he had picked them up in small
lots and at a discount from dealers who
were overstockcd. BY working fast and
making long jumps. he would have se-
time. The proprietors of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills are most fortunate to have
caught the rogue before he had fairly
started. and to have thus kept these spu.
rious goods out of the market
