TESTING For PLANT ROOD.

One of the simplest methods Of as
certaining what plant food is needed in
a soil is to test the soil with growing
plant. If the soil is deficient in nitro
gen the leaves of grasses and cereal
grains will be either blush or yellow.
ish, the latter in the case of the grain,
while a deep, vivid green indicates a
good supply of nitrogen in the soil
Any soil in which rape, cabbages and
other members of the turnip family
thrive indicates that such soil has
good supply of phosphoric aciG. Where
potash in the soil is abundant the
leaves of the growing plants have
yellowish green cast, while if potash is
deficient the shade of green is of a blu
ish color. Naturally it requires a prac-
ticed and obseryant eye to determine
accurately these things, bur the plan is
correct and worth following. The indi-
cation of sOrrel in a meadow seeded to
mixtures such as redtop, timothy and
clOvers, is a pretty good Indication that
the soil needs lime. However, the lit
mus paper test for acid soil is the
quickest and is thoroughly reliable

S ATISTICs CONCERNING SMILES
IAN Englishman of scientific pursuits
has recently published a series of sta
tistlcs concerning smiles which will as
tonish the average layman and lay
woman. On an average he calculates,
n woman stretches her mouth half
an inch each time she smiles. Allow
ing her thirty-siT smiles a day-which
every man familiar with the subject
will accept as conservative estimate
a5Ser smile measurement would amount
M tWenty-four hours to half a yard,
31d in the course Of year to 1S2
yards Of smiles. This Is strictly an
average computation however. A
bride, the newly elected President of a
woman's club, a man with new auto
mobile OF q new set Of teeth-these will
Yreathe you many more yards Of
smiles in the course Of a twelyemonth
than a paluy 1872. The relation which
these smiling statistics bear toward the
art Of living is not quite clear So far
as practical value goes, the man who
frst discovered that smiles bred
Arinkles did a vastly more serviceable
ling. Many a woman tries to sup
press her smiles in the interest Of her
skin. Expert information as to the
number Of yards she smiles year will
have the effect only Of rcdoubling her
anti-smile vigilance, and the world will
be so much the poorer. In any event,
lthe conclusions Of the English scientist
re offered merely for what they may
i worth.

FERTILIZERS FOR GRAPEyINEs

The use OF rich animal or other nitro.
genous manures on grapeyines should
be avoided, as they cause too rapid
growth of vine; immature growth is
liable to mildew and rot to an increased
extent and makes a poorer quality Of
grape. Potash and phosphate are val
liable for fertilizers in the vineyard.
Ashes supply the first and a fair
amount of the second. and mineral
phosphate the third. Bonedust is good,
but contains nitrogen, which some
times in wet seasons makes a rank
growth of vine. The grape does not
require the application Of fertilizers as
frequently as do other fruits If the
soil is suitable, and not too droughty,
the grape will grow with but The aid Of
