The use of insoluble phosphates.
whether in the form of phosphate rock
or of the sO-called Thomas Stag, has
long been a bone of contention or de-
batable matter, not only among the sci
entific men, but the practical farmers.
The former have questioned whether
the insoluble phosphate could be of any
value as plant food, and some Of the
farmers have claimed that their crops
We're very much benefited by it. AL
though we have not tested it, our opin-
ion leads us to believe that the farmers
are right, and those who rely only on
scientific principles may be wrong. We
do not place sufficient confidence in the
power of the soil and the action of
frosts, rain and summer heat upon
what are sometimes called insoluble
fertilizers. We know little of the power
that these elements exert. and when to
the natural elements of the soil there
may be added the effect of decompOsing
vegetable matter. either as stable
manure or as green manure plowed un-
der, we can only say that we think they
have much effect in making soluble not
only phosphate but other mineral ele-
ments in the soil. Those who have used
the finely ground rock or Thomas Stag
upon fields which had received liberal
dressing of stable manure, or had been
treated with green crop plowed under,
are so unanimously in its favor that we
cannot doubt but that the so-called in
soluble phosphates do become soluble
in the soil under certain conditions, de-
pending upon the soil or the treatment
it has received.-Massachus Plough

Comfortable Resting Place.

Where the trees about ones house
are small or where there are none, this
arrangement, described in Country
Gentleman, will be found pleasant in
summer. The floor and framework of
this shady resting place are made OF
wood, while the covering is either
white duck or striped awning cloth,
sold at all dry goods stores-the only
fault to be found with the latter being
it's liability to fade. The board floor
is very desirable. since it permits the
use of this when the grass ground
would be moist. The smooth floor also
affords splendid chance for children
to play in wet weathtr. or indeed in
any weather. since their clothing will
become soiled much less easily when
playing on such floor than upon grass

Selecting Calves

The Practical Farmer gives this
method of selecting calves to raise.
which is followed by many successful
dairymen: Turn the little calf on it's
back and see that it has four WELL
placed teats-that is, wide apart-and
two rudimentaries, or extra teats.
Next see that it has large udder cord,
which you can feel on the side. rub
bing finger back and forth. Such parts
are made in proportion, and large
udder indicates that the calf when it
becomes a cow will carry a large I'D
der, because a large cord is necessary
to hold this up. Next look in the calf's s
mouth, and if there are eight teeth,
well through, you can safely raise that
calf. If there are only two teeth put
through, reject the calf. because. as a
rule, this indicates that the constitu-
tiona1 vigor Of the mother was not
sufficient to mature the calf fully be-
fore it was born. Such a calf will be
likely to have a weak vitality when it
grows up as well as during it's younger
days.

How Excessive Demand Has Developed
Several Queer Industries.
The fact that the worlds supply of
cork is much less than the demand has
been working a peaceful revolution in
many trades The increase in the price
has rendered it necessary to devise
other kinds of shoppers. This has Civ
en- employment to perfect army Of in
ventors, many of whom have reaped
neat little fortunes from ingenious con-
trivances. Thus far, however, all the
store the former balance, and prices
keep up i'll an alarming manner. AS
a consequence there has been devel-
Oped a trade in secondhand corks, and
under this have come into being queer
little industries such as gathering
corks, cleaning corks, and revamping
corks.
In the big hotels, restaurants and Sa-
looms the cork perquisite is now mod
erately valuable privilege. They are no
longer cast contemptuously by, but
are thrown into a box or cask, where
they accumulate until the cOrk-picke1
arrives, who pays a round sum in cash
for all offered to him. The average
waiter and bartender now employs
corkscrews which infiict minimum
damage upon the cork, and in many
places where a number of bottles are
opened in the course of the day a steel
cork extractor is used, which will pull
out a cork from the interior of bot
tie into which it has been carelessly
forced.
The peddler who buys them sells
them to the secondhand man, who as
sorts them into various classes. Many
large cOrks can be recut with consid-
cradle profit. Others which have been
injured can be cut so as to discard the
injured portions and utilize that which
is sound. Corks which have been dis
colored by grease can be cleaned by
benZine, ammonia water, or lime and
water. Those which have been discol-
ored or favored by medicine can be
rendered usable by long-continued boil
ing with a small amount of chloride Of
lime, and subsequently drying in kiln
or oven. The finest quality consists of
champagne corks. These always COM
mand good price. 1t is possible to re-
use them, and this is said to be done
by many manufacturers both at home
and abroad. Others can be recut so
as to obliterate the makers or bottler's
name, which is usually branded upon
the side or lower surface. A second
hand cork when paraffinated can be
used for bottles containing oils, pow
ders and aqueous solutions. They are
popular at present on account of the
ease with which they can be taken out
and put back.-New York Evening

CIRCUMSTANTIAE EVIDENCE.

How a Young Woman Lost Her Faith

You speak as would a person who
had been wrongly convicted by cir
cumstances," remarked the man.
"Well, you don't know what a mar
row escape l had," she replied.
Of course, he insisted on the story.
1T was last Sunday in the park, and
Jane was with me-" she began. "We
entered from the Plaza, intending to
take a long walk. A brown-eyed Ital-
ian boy crying 'Pansies,' attracted us
and 1 purchased richly colored bunch
They were all purple, and deep black
the rich. uncommon kind. .--...
"We finally reached the Casino for
luncheon, and 1 offered to divide the
flowers with Jane. 1 had noticed he1
casting longing glance at the pansy
box which stood near our table on the
porch. I unwound the tinfoil and was
dividing the flowers when up rushed
a waiter

pull he said, gruffiy.

him l had bought the flowers.
Il know you people, he said. You
pulled them He pointed to the box
near our table. The pansies were all
black and purple. The common yellow
or mixed cOlored flowers were in boxes
out of our reach. The insolent waiter
hurried off for the head waiter.
"'Did you see them pull the flow
ers?" this worthy asked. His tone left
no question in our minds as to his
doubt of our guilt.
"'No,' replied the waiter, but they
pinched them, all right
Too bad you didn't catch them at
it, said the head waiter, but it won't
do much good to have them arrested
unless you did,"
Rather exciting" remarked the
man, when she paused.
''It was a case of too much circum-
stantial evidence" said the young
woman. THE only rebuttal evidence
we had was the tinfoil which came
around the stems, and the wind blew
that away just after had removed it."

Didn't Like Their Style.

This is queer age we live in,'
sighed a young housekeeper. We've
just lost a very good cook for a very
about four months ago and was salts
factory in every way; neat, Industrious,
respectful, and last, but foremost, an
excellent cook.
LAS she was so very quiet could not
tell whether or not she was as well
but about six weeks ago the trouble
began. She asked me suddenly one
day why We entertained so seldom.
Ella l said, we don't care for
it,
"'Your house is just as handsome as
that I've lived with entertained all the
time and their houses weren't near as
pretty or as nice as yours; you never
have anything but club meeting once
in awhile. Why don't you have teas
and receptions, Mrs. Blank?
Il reiterated my two reasons-that
we couldn't spend the money in that
way and that we preferred simple
amusements. Ella didn't seem salts
fed; but the matter was dropped.
Last Monday" said the young wife,
according to the Detroit Free Press,
''she asked to spend a week at home
with her sick aunt, and, as l couldn't

WAITING.

Serene, fold my hands and wait,
Nor care for wind, or tide, or sea;
I rave no more 'gainst time or fate,
For loI my own shall come to me.
] stay my haste, I make delays,
For what avails this eager pace?
l stand amid the eternal ways,
And what is mine shall know my face.
Asleep, awake, by night or day,
The friends 1 seek are seeking me;
No wind can drive my bark astray,
Nor change the tide of destiny.
What matter if 1 stand alone?
1 wait with joy the coming years;
My heart shall reap where it has sown,
And garner up its fruit of tears.
The waters know their own and draw
The brook that springs in yonder
height;
So flows the good with equal law
Unto the soul of pure delight.
The stars come nightly to the sky;
The tidal wave unto the sea;
Nor time, nor space, nor deep. nor high,
Can keep my own away from me.

Farm Notes.

If one has been so unwiSe as to have
gotten in more area of crops than he
can cultivate properly it may pay him
even now to abandon some of it and
cultivate thoroughly the remaining
portion.
Some of the weeds that cover the
fields will be eaten off by sheep if the
animals are given an opportunity to
destroy them. Put the sheep at work
at this season and they will destroy
many weed pests.
There is no need of disorderly back
yards in summer time. 1t is always
possible to pick up an. make the place
clean and if ther, are unsightly objects
or outlooks they may be concealed by
quick growing vines or plants Morn
ing glories. ricinus or castor bean, and
the newer golden glow are all valuable
as screens.
There is always something new in
weeds. Just when the farmer has con-
quered the advance crop he encounters
at this season of the year one of the
most persistent of all pests-crab grass
1t grows very rapidly ard on all kinds
of soil. 1t is very easily destroyed
when young. but if it gets start and
covers the ground it sometimes hap
pens that the field must be abandoned
until next year.
