The Queer Carabao.

The carabao is said to be slower than
camel and more obstinate than a
mule. Every one seems agreed that
the chief ambition in life OF a cara
bao. If he has any at all, is to lie down
in puddle of water with just his nose
and horns sticking out Consequently
considerable commotion rules the wag-
on train when 1t approaches a stream
that must be forded. The soldiers
who are walking behind the carts as
guards lay aside their rifles and begin
to belabor each animal. In the mid
die of the stream the excitement
reaches its highest pitch. The cara
bao will begin to stretch his neck and
bend his knees and grunt-infallible
indications of his intention to lie down.
Everybody works like n beaver to pre-
vent him from accomplishing this fell
purpose. but their labors are not al
ways successful They may get him
over the stream. but this is unusual
good fortune.-Harper's Weekly.

NEW FACTS; OLD MANURES.
Values Of the Various Sorts of For.
tiiixer Set Forth Briefly.


Horse manure from city stables
usually contains 70 to - per cent OF
water I'm the form in which such ma.
nure reaches the farmer. The solid
portion or such manure contains OF
nitrogen from 90 TO O.S per cent, phos-
phoric acid O.3 to O.5 per cent. potash
% TO o. per cent. lime O5 to O.S per
cent with traces of magnesia. The
drier the manure the larger the guam
tity or actual plant food elements In
the ton. Computing the above named
quantities of nitrogen therein as worth
20 cents per pound. phosphoric acid
and potash each 4 cents a pound, the
valuation of horse manure of the
above range of composition works out
from S2.64 TO S4.16 per ton.
Sheep manure from stockyards and
slaughter houses is sometimes sold in
the market either under its own name
or as so called natural guano." Analy-
sis OF three such samples sold in Con
hectlcut showed them to contain about
as much nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash as could be bought i'm the form
or FERTILIZER chemicals for $11 or SD
The sheep manure sold at from So to
$33 ton. But, as the station report
says, IL must also be remembered that
60 per cent of sheep manure consists
OF fine vegetable matter, which forms
humus in the soil and has distinct
value in feeding the soil bacteria and
In regulating the water content of the

a curious fertilizing material comes
In small quantities from silk mills. 1t
is called cocoon dust and consists
of the dead bodies Of silkworms. The
Connecticut station found il to be ex.
traordinarily rich in nitrogen, contain
Ing nearly 10 per cent of this sub.
stance; also small quantities of phOS
phoric acid and potash.
Sewage waste may be profitable as
fertilizer. The sludge which accu-
mulates on the sand beds used for the
publication of sewage at Rockville
was found by the Connecticut station
to contain of water 6S per cent, Of
nitrogen 1874 per cent, with traces OF
phosphoric acid and potash. This ma
terial has almost three times as much
nitrogen as stable manure, but it is
probably much less available to crops
because the more soluble and valuable
part of the nitrogen has been removed
by water and microbe action. Never

WOMEN IN WALL STREET.

They Are Good Winners, but Drown
Their Losses In Tears.
To many brokers women are hoo
docs, and some stock exchange houses
refuse absolutely TO have anything to
do with the fair sex. The majority of
brokerage firms try their best to keep
women's speculative accounts out of
their Offices Some houses are obliged
TO take women's accounts as a matter
OF personal friendship, but they will
not open accounts for other women, no
matter how well they may be intro
duced
Wall street men do not have n high
opinion of the average woman's bust
ness sense. Most women have an idea
that one needs only to get a Tip"
from some "insider'' In Wall street to
be sure OF making barrels of money"
for new gowns. hats and jewelry.
The dictum of Wall street is that
women are good winners. but bad
losers. 1t is difficult to reason about
money and business with an angry or
weeping woman. Her view of Wall
street and all its works suddenly be-
comes entirely emotional. and only q
broker with infinite patience can calm
her. Many time a stock exchange
house has taken a woman customers
loss rather than face her tears.-Strand
