When to Use Phosphates.

The tendency of phosphates to re-
vert 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 a
long spell of dry weather follows its
application the phosphate will revert
so that water alone will not again dis
solve it. But in soils which contain
any organic matter the water they con-
tain must have an excess of carbonic
acid gas, which is derived from the
decay of plants. 1t is this carbonic
acid gas in spring waters that makes
them bubble up as they come out of
the earth and adds greatly to their
palatableness. In their passage through
the soil these waters have come in con-
tact with much carbonic acid gas, and
have necessarily Absorb ed a part of it.
But on limestone soils this spring
water has already absorbed as much
lime as it can hold.
Both potash and salt are excellent
for top-dressing land on which phos-
phate has been drilled with the grain
crop. 1t is not best to try to mix
these and drill them together. The
superphosphates 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 pro-
duce 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. American Cultivator,

Food That Makes Brains.

According to celebrated health ex-
pert blanched almonds give the higher
nerve of brain and muscle food, and
the man who wishes to keep his brain
power up would do well to include
them in his daily bill of fare. Juicy
fruits give more or less the higher
nerve or brain, and are eaten by all
men whose living depends on their
clear-headedness. Apples supply the
brain with rest. Prunes afford proof
against nervousness, but are not
muscle feeding. They should be
avoided by those who suffer from the
liver. But it has been proved that
fruits do not have the same effect up
on everybody. Some men have never
been able to eat apples without suffer-
ing the agony of Indigestion; to others,
strawberries are like poison.

Placed Their Names on 1t,

In Malacca and in Ceylon large
commercial firms are permitted to
print their names on the postage
stamps to prevent theft of stamps on
the part of their employees. In that
way Ceylon stamps are often consid-
cred great treasures when bearing the
name of "Cave" in small black capi-
tails, while this surcharge means moth
ing but the imprint Of wealthy tea
planter. Some Great Britain stamps
are also found with the initials of vari-
Gus firms perforated across the stamps.
This is also to prevent theft.

Hairs of the Head.

A set of 'hair scientists" have been
counting square inch of hairs on the
heads of several persons and have
come to the conclusion that head of
hair is made up of 143, 600 hairs; q
dark head produces 105, 900 hairs and
q head of red hair only 10000. The
reason of the difference is that fair
hair is of the finest and red hair of the
coarsest quality.-London Figaro.

little rodents have a very pronounced

and placed in front of the holes by
which mice enter will keep them away.
if this experiment is repeated for sew

There is more Catarrh in this section Of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it local disease and prescribed
local remedies. and by constantly falling to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to he
constitutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
