Practical knowledge Needed.

A thorough knowledge of soils.
chemically and physictlly, will enable
the possessor of it to, in great meas
ure, overcome the effect of drought;
how many of our farmers have
this knowledge? Not one in ten thou
sand. And yet every child in our coun-
try school might easily be taught, by
illustration and experiment, how water
passes downward through soils by
gravity and rises by capillarity and ad-
hesion, and a multitude of other
facts which are the basis of physical
science. and which would be just as
useful to the child whether he became
in after years civil engineer OF a

Fertilizing the Orchard.

There is reason for believing that
the orchard needs fertilizing even
more than the ordinary field crops. A
part of the fertilizing element of the
latter. is returned to the soil each
year. The plant food that is taken mp
in the orchard is taken away from
the soil forever. None is returned to
it. It is estimated that in single
season an acre of apple trees will draw
from the soil 49 9pounds of nitrogen, SO
pounds Of phosphoric acid and ~
pounds of potash. These must be re-
turned or the productiveness of the
orchard will be lost.--Farmers, Re

A Reprehen.ible Practice.

It will surprise a good many people
to know that there are poultrymen
who send to market infertile eggs that
have been incubated by hens or in the
incubator from five to nine days, at
which time those growing poultry
usually test for fertility. There is
nothing very honest about this, but
many a man who makes a row because
he did not get a hatch of IA chicks our

VESSELS IN TROUBLE.
The Narrow E.oape of Two Bangor
Schooner.

Two Bangor vessels arrived there Mon
day night with stories of narrow escape
from disastsr-the scohoners Mary Ann
McCann and Abraham Richardson. both
from coal ports, and both deeply laden.
At five O'Clock Sunday morning, in a
thick fog, the Abraham Richardson, Cap
tain Nickerson, went ashore on Brigadier' 8
island, off Searsport, and stuck hard and
fast. It was nearly high water at the
time, and without early assistance the
schooner was in danger of stralnlng bad :
ly, perhaps of going to pieces.
{ A telephone message was sent TO fort
Point and the light keeper there rang his
bell as signal to the tug Ralph hoss,
which was then sent to pull the schooner
off. This was accomplished on SUNDAY
aftsrnoon's tide, and the Richardson was
towed to Fort Point cove, where she lay
until lowed up to the city last night.
She is leaking about $50 strokes an hour,
but is not thought that she is seriously
damaged, as she picked out good
smooth spot when she struck.
Captain Gates of the schooner Mary
Ann MCCAIN reports that on Saturday
night last, when off Monhegan. be was
run into during thick fog by large
and unknown three -masted schooner,
stone laden from the eastward. The Nc
Cam lost the END of her jibboom and
all head ear attached, and her starhoard
cathead was carried away. The three
master was not, apparently, much dam
aged, and she stood away without stop
ping to make any inquiries Had the
McCann been struck few feet turther
aft, she would undoubtedly have been cut
down to the waters edge. and with her
heavy cargo she would have gone tosthe
bottom like shot.
