viperine,s Defeat a Surprise.

NEW ORLEANS, March 1.-THE opening
of the New Louisiana Jockey Clubs spring
meeting was disastrous to the favorites,
Frontenac being the only one of their num-
Der to finish in the front. The defeat of
Viperine in the Crescent stake, for which
she was a hot favorite, at to 20, was the
heaviest upset of the day. Dixie Lad, the
second choice, was at to 1 and the others
at long price. The slow track, seriously
affected by yesterdays rain. did not suit
the Morris filly and her usual speed was
lacking. Delaval. at 13 to l in the betting,
led from end TO end, winning easily by
three lengths. The race was worth $500 to
the winner. j. j. McCafferty has signed
Jockey Livingston for the coming year.

Care of Farm implements.

Most people seem to think that IL
the tools and implements are protected
from the influence of the sun, they suf-
fer no injury during the rainy and low
ering weather. But this is a serious
mistake. The influence of any and all
kinds of weather, is always more or
less injurious to farm implements,
whether the various parts are made Of
iron, or portion only of iron, and the
remainder of wood. AS a general rule
the injury and damage done to farm
implements by unnecessary exposure
to the influence of the weather wears
out the working parts more than all
the labor that is performed with them.
And this is more emphatically true
along the seacoast, where the sea
breezes highly charged with saline ma
terial, come in contact with those
parts Of implements which have pol
ished steel or iron surfaces. Several
hundred miles away from the seashore,
mechanics experience little difficulty in
keeping their saw blades and other
steel tools from rusting. But near the
salt water, steel plows, saws, cultivat-
or-teeth, polished bearings on moving
machines, steel rake-teath, and all
such implements, rust very quickly
when not in actual use, If the polished
surface is not oiled or vanished.
Plows are left frequently standing in
the ground with the damp earth in
contact with the polished rould-board
and land side. The consequence is
that a thick scale of rust is found over
the entire surface, thus destroying
more metal than would actually wear,
off in some time when the implement
is in use. The true way to take care
Of such tools is to wipe the polished
surface dry, and oil 1t with any kind
of oleaginous material which has no
saline material in it, or to varnish the
surface.-The Epitomist.

Manure and Fertilizer.

The American FERTILIZER reminds
Its readers that the farmer who uses
manure and fertilizer thereby gains
from the soil more than he applies, be-
cause the materials which he adds to
the soil serve to render soluble the in
ert plant foods existing in. the soil;
and as 1t takes capital TO make money
In business, 80 1t takes manure and fer
tilizers to make the soil more subser-
Went to the demands of the farmer.
Every dollar expended for plant food
to be applied to the soil is an invest
ment which in the future il sure TO
bring good returns, because of the
abundance of raw materials existing
In the soil ready for use when prop
er methods are applied for deriving
them from the vast stores which are
always in reach with the aid of suit
able appliances. The growing of green
crops for manure benefits the land
not only by returning to the soil that
which may have been derived there
from and from the air, but also,
through chemical action OF plant roots,
which have the capacity of changing
the characteristics of the various
salts" in the soil, and as the roots Of
plants appropriate carbonic acid as an
agent in neutralizing the alkaline mat
ter, various compounds are formed
Alkalies also neutralize acids, and
there is constant tendency to effect
chemical changes by reason of the use
of green foods, manures, fertilizers,
plaster and lime. The soil is the bank
Of the farmer upon which he can draw,
but he must first make his deposits.
Cultivation, tile drainage, the use Of
certain crops and knowledge of the
characteristics and requirements of the
soil will give the intelligent farmer a
great advantage over him who does not
carefully consider the reserve of plant
