m to AGRICULTURE. Phosphates and Potash —Phwpbate of line is only one of the mineral fer tilizers upon which plants delight to feed, bnt which continual cropping, without returns, will soon exhaust Pot ash, upon which plants make large de mands, is another. Grass and potatoes may be called potash plants, because, containing a large per cent of this min eral. One hundr d parts of dry hay will leave, when burned, nine per cent, of ash, which the largest part is potash. Successive crops of grass must, there fore, exhaust the land of this, its lead ing constituent, unless it is returned m some shape. Just what mineral fertil izers grass lands want in order to keep them in good productive condition may be learned from the following statement of that eminent scientist. Rousingault: "Ten thousand pounds of good meadow hay contain 547 pomds of inorganic (mineral) matter, of wbich 130 pounds are potash, soda, 10 pounds; lime, 107; magnesia, 43; oxide of iron, 5; silicica, 189; sulphuric acid, 16,phosphoric acid, 32; and chlorine. 15. While many of these are found in almost inexhaustible quantity in all tillable land, potash, lime, sulphuric and phosphoric acids diminish rapidly under cultivation, un less returned in some way. It is a sui cidal policy, therefore, to neglect the application of these mineral fertilizers on land severely cropped. Nor has any fertilizer a more permanent effect on such land than wood ashes—they con taining all the mmeral constituents of plant food—and when accompanied with ammonia m some form make a per fect fertilizers. It is an old saying that "land never forgets ashes," and such would seem to be the fact, when places on which coal-kilns have been burned have been known to have shown their fertilizing effects for more than half a century, ifnoM results obtained with various fertilizing substances,Professor Atwater has drawn the following conclusions: Corn needs littla nitrogen besides what it can draw from natural source*, while its yield is largely increased under the influence of mineral fertilizers—the most eflective being those in which the chief component is phosphoric acid or potash according to the soil and the season. Potatoes respond uniformly to all the ingredients, and they are less able than corn to gather from natural sources. The same appears to be true for turnips. Not enough experiments ha/c been made with other crops to justily conclu sions concerning them. Practically, the largest average yield for all crops is se cured by the use of feitilizers containing all the essential elements of plant food. Used alone, nitrate of soda is rarely useful, sulphate of lime frequently, mu riate of potash very oltej, and the su per-phosphates generally, Soils vary in their capacity for conveying food to crops, and careiul observation and ex periment are necessary to determine the needs of a particular soif. Value of Bees.—The great value of bees lo agriculture has hitherto been entirely overlooked. A society of Sax ony lias collected some very important statistics upon this subject, which are now made public. The society controls seventeen thousaod hives, from each of which ten thousand bees fly out daily. This makes a total of 170,000,000 bees. Jf it is supposed that each bte under takes but lour journeys per day, and that this takes place upon only one hun dred doys ef the, year, then uu annual total of 68,000,000,000 bee journeys is obtained. At the lowest limit probable the society considirs that filty flowers are visited on each journey, and that five out of the fifty are fertilized. This gives a grand total oi 34!) 000,000 fertil ized flowers \cr year, it the value ot fertilizing twenty thotiaund blossoms be one cent, then a value ot $170,000 is re presented by the work done by the bees of this society,or a benefit to agriculture by each hive of $10 per annum. Cattle and sheep should always have plenty of shade in the pasture. They liae, when they have eaten enough, to lie down in a cool shadT and take their comfort, and if they can do so they will thrive much better. A few shone trees for tins purpose will pay well for any drain they may make on the fertility of the soil. If ihere are no trees it will pay to erect a cheap shed, even thougn it te hut a rude structure of lour posts set m the ground and a root covered with brush wood or pine limbs. It should be open to the north always,and may be open on all sides if more con venient. The t fleet of a blazing sun on a cow’s baik when lying down seems to be more marked than while she is teed- ing, and cannot fail to make the animal feverish, and thus injure both the flavor of the milk and its keeping quali ties. Plants,—Judicious c re of the health of plants will paomote your own. Mil dewed leaves, sodden oil, mouldy crocks will generate disease in your plants and yourself. In all manipula- t'ons of leal and soil, avoid touching eye. lip, nostril,or any abraded portions of the skin till the hands have been thoroughly c caused. Before bouquets are brought to the dining-table they should for a moment be entirely immer sed in water, and never be so placed as to project over articles of food. Subtle germs of vegetation and insidious ova, eggs of obnoxious animal life are always present. Window Ubnament. —A pretty and easily-grown window plant may be-ob- taiued in the following manner: Soak a round piece of coarse sponge in warm water until it is thoroughly expanded. Alter squeezing it about dry, plaoa in the openings millet, red clover and bar ley-grass seeds, rice and oats. Hang the sponge in a window where the sun shines a part of the day, and sprinkle it lightly with water evejy morning for a week. Soon tender leaves will shoot out, ana, growing rapidly, wifi form a foim a drooping msss of living green. If regularly spiinhled, it will later be dotted with the blossoms of the clover.* O. M. Tin kham, Secretary of the Yer- mont Dairymen’s Association, has de vised some improvements in packing butter. Instead of lining his packing- boxes with muslin he uses a certain kind of biown paper, which is odorless aid tasteless, and costs very little. He also lines his cases throughout with a layer ot felting half an inch th ck. Thi-, it is alleged, keeps out the heat most effectually. Hauling out Manuhb.—Wnile the ground is hard or covered with snow, the manure heaps can be hauled to the fields with the least trouble. Those who have j rctlteG by our hints for the past lew months, will have the manure w good condition lor hauling out now; others will have it lying around loose and unworked,and consequently useless for some time yet. DOMESTIC. Fumigatino Pastils.—For the pur pose of deodorizing a room lu which there is an offensive smell common cof fee berries and even rags and brown paper, if properly burned, will serve admirably. The smoke from these sub stances not only neutralizes the odors bnt ready acts as a disinfectant to a slight extent. In burning coffee, paper or rags for this purpose care must be taEen to prevent them from burning too freely. If they turn with a free, bright flame the proper effect will not be pro duced. They should be a'lowed to smoulder quietly, and they do this best when they are thrown ou hot coals or a hot shovel and set on fire. An excel lent substitute for pastils is heavy brojrn paper wfiich has been dipped m a solu tion of nitre and then diied. This burns fraaly without flame, and if it be dipped in a solution of benzoin, the odor is very pleasant. The best thing, however, is pastils. They are easily made as follows: 1. Paris Formula; Benzoin, twe ounces; balsam of tola and yellow sandal wood, of each four drachms; nitre, two drachms; lablanum, two drachms; charcoal, six ounces. Reduce to powder, mix thoroughly and make into a stiff paste with gum traga- eanth. Form into small cones and dry them in the air. 2. Formula of Henry and Guibourt. Powdered benzoin, six teen parts; balsam of tolu and powdered sandal wood, each four parts; charcjal powder, forty-eight parts; powdered tragacanth and labdanum, each one part, powdered nitre and gum arabic, each two parts; make into a paste with twelve parts cinnamon water, form into canes and dry. Gone Never to Keturn. Gard Ntic. AlE.—Mr. Daniel Gray, a prominent lumber merchant writes that his wife had severe rheumatic pains; so se vere as to render her unable to sleep. From the first application of the famous German Remedy, 5t. Jacob’s Oil, she ex perienced unspeakable reliei’, and in two hours the pain had eutirely gone. Cheap Gravies —After frying fat pork, leave two tablespoonfuls drippings in the spider, stir smooth in this a large spoonful of flour, with salt and pepper. .Place over a brisk fire, and add a pint of milk; stir constantly until it boils. Melt a large spoonful of butter in a hot spider; watch closely until browned, not burned; then pepper it and turn in a bowlful of milk, btir in a few spoon fuls of milk and sufficient flour to make the desired consistency, not forgetting to add salt, as it is much less liable to remain in lumps. When the milk boils add to it the batter, and stir until it bubbles. Cut a cupful of codfish into small pieces; place in the spider, cover with cd 1 water, and set on the stove. When the water beginst to boil, turn it all c ff, and add a bowl of rich milk; then proceed in the same way as in the sec ond recipe, excepting the salt, as the fish will furnish enongh of that. When turned into a bowl add a generous piece of batter. The Oldcut Drujiglit. Being one of the eldest druggists iu this city (although having retired from busi ness), I wish to say a good word about Hunt’s Remedy. A number of years ago I was troubled with my kidneys. The idea of a druggist, however, resorting to the use of a “patent medicine" was a little humili ating, but when I came to consider how many people had been benetitted by the use of Hunt’s Remedy, I unhesitatingly began using it; and after having fully tested its virtues I can say, as many of my customers have said to me, “ft is the best medicine for kidney and liver complaint ever com pounded.” 1 have yet to learn of a single instance where it has failed to benefit and give satisfaction, in fact it is the best I ever sold. I would say to all who are troubled with kidney and liver complaint, give Hunt’s Remedy a trial and you will say as I do, it is tlie best known remedy, and the best is the cheapest every time. Yours truly, Edward Allen. Hartford, Conn., May 19, 188;}. Hr. James Cheney, witn J. W.

Panel Pictures —Floral panels are much used for room decoration, some times smipended from mirrors, or pic tures, from a height, or standing like armorial shields at either side of a door or window. A pretty panel picture made with a trifling outlay, can be pro duced by taking a common slate. First paint in the background either some neutral tint or one shaded in color; those from dark brown to the lightest tint of that color aro pretty amt effect ive, using bnrut umber anil white. Be careful to shade it as gradually and evenly as possible. Flowers are the prettiest designs for panel pictures, a particular pretty one being composed of wheat heads, field daisies and wild roses. Poppies, wheat and blue corn flowers make another equally handsome, or golden rod and purple chrysanthe mums make a bright and eff.otive pic ture; apple blossoms ou one and pan sies on another also make good com panion pictures. The frames may be painted in some neutral tint or contrast ing color, or else simply gilded with liquid gold paint. Motner Swan’a Worm wyrnp.

An Excellent House-Plant.—Chi nese primrose is one of the bist bloom ing plants we can get for wmter flowei- ing, both bingle and double varieties. They require when growing plenty of moisture at the roots and shaded irom the duect rays of the sun. When wa tering, however, do not allow much water to fall on the leaves, as it is apt to cause them to rot. A soil suitable for this plant is sandy loam and a good mixture of leaf mould and thoroughly rotted manure. Do not put into too large pots, as the soil is apt to sour be fore the roots pass thiough it sufficiently to use up the moisture. Ottawa, Ii.r,—Dr. T. A. Smarr, says- “Browa’s Iron Biuers give entire satisfaction. To give glass great brilliancy, wash with a damp sponge dipped in spirits, then dust with powdered blue or whiting (tied iu a mtusuu bag) and polish with a chamois skin. A little spirits of turpentine added to the water with which floois are washed will prevent the ravages of moths. HUMOROUS. A woman who had been swinging in a hammock in a yard, had no sooner vacated it in answer to a call from the house, than a ragged old tramp who had been loaning over the fence walked inside and coolly planted himself in the hammock for a siesta. In about five micu'es the woman reappeared, and seeing at a glance how matters stood, she brought out a sharp knife, walked straight up to the fellow, and before he could chuckle twice she cut the head rope. He came down on his head with a thump, toppled over at full length, and slowly scrambled up and walked off. Not a word was said until he was outside the gate. Then ho turned and called out: "Maybe you’d like my photograph just as I keeled out of that old fish-net, but you won't get it—not by a jug-full 1” Hollow Ctieeki, A pale, flabby skin and limbs 111 clothed with flesh, Indicate poverty of the blood.

A music dealer tells an Albany repor ter that "Wait Till the Clouds Roli By, Jennie,’’ is one of the popular songs just now. They nearly tear the house down when a girl sings "3ave the Sweetest Kiss for Mother.” The stout est, healthiest looking girls generally want the most sentimental songs about unrequited love and blighted hearts and all that sort of thing. A girl who weighs more than I do was in here the other day and wanted a song about "My cheek has lost its bloom and my eyes are shadowed o'er with gloom.’’ Girls that work in shops waut more sor rowful songs than those that are in stores. I’ve got a theory about it, but haven’t time to explain it this morning. . Ou Tnirty Days’ Trial.

"That's indtfinite,” was the reply. "Because if yon were going to stay lor a couple of weeks I’d put you in the new rooms m the west wing, overlooking the lake. ” “Yes—ahem—yes,” mused the guest, as he looked greatly puzzled; "you see, I’m iu a pork deal. If pork stays where she is I can remain here three or four weeks and get away without leav ing my trunks as security; but if pork goes down I—” “Yon can’t remain over a week or two."

A method of bleaching cotton yarn has lately been introduced in France, the advantage of which is that uniform ity is secured, and the article contiuues beautifully white in the warehouse, whether iu skeins or textures. The plan is to let 220 pounds of cotton yarn be bucked for eight hours in a soda lye composed of six and one-half pounds of crystillized soda and two and one-fourth pouuds of slaked lime. After being steeped iu the bucking caldron and washed, the yarn is put into solution of chloride of lime, and, remaining there some two hoars, goes direct thence to the diluted sulphuric acid, in which it remains for twenty minutes. Such a quantity of yarn requires eleven pounds of powdered chloride of lime, and one and one-sixth part of solphnnc acid. After the bleaching, the yarn is careful ly washed in flowing water, and then put once or twice into a soap bath con taining two and one-filth pounds of palm oil for every 220 pounds of the yarn. By this means, the cotton is freed from the adhering acid, and can then be sized—warp yarn with thirteen and one fifth pounds, and wool yarn with four and two-fifih pounds of statch for every 220 pounds, with the addition of some acid-proof ultramarine. “Bucho-Palba.’* The quick, complete cure, aU annoying Kidney, Bladder ana Urinary DUeaaes. $1.
