AQRIOOIiTURE. Ferttlizino Matter in the Soil.— A correspondent, who is interested in this subject, thinks it proper that more attention should be given by the agri cultural press to the substances that are derived from tbe soil by plants. He is inclined to believe sulphurs very impor tant factor, being equal in value, if not superior, to phosphoric acid. Sulphur exists m certain proportions in all soils, but chemists have been un able to discover that it performs any important service as plant food, although it is used by plants to a certain extent. The powerful acid (oil of vitriol) used in the decomposition of bones Ends its use fulness only by taking the place of phosphoric acid, which it liberates. Bones which are insoluble are composed principally of phosphate of lime (phos phoric acid united to lime), and the ob ject sought in reducing bones is the phosphoric acid. The lime is but of little value to the operator, and the sul phuric acid (oil of vitriol) is the aaent lor separating the lime from the phos phoric acid. When the sulphuric acid is brought in contact with bones it un ites with the lime in the shape of plas ter (sulphate oi lime), and the phos phoric acid is thus driven from its com bination and set free, In this free state it is soluble in water, but readily unites with any other substance in the soil,such as potash, soda,or even lime,but in this state it is in the condition of a very fine impalpable powder, and in some cases not so readily soluble. There is no necessity for applying sulphur to plants by means of the use of superphosphate, for sulphur would be an expen.-ive luxury in that shape. The cheaper mode ivould be to use or dinary land plaster, but, as sulphur is never applied to soils with a view of us ing it for fertilizing purposes, it is of no consequence as an ingredient in fer tilizers. The piiucipal substances de sired by all soils that are cropped are nitrogen (which is the msstcostly), pot ash (which may be applied in the form of wood ashes, or in combination as a salt), and phosphoric acid (which is procured by reducing bones with the aid of sulphuric acid, or from the Caro lina phosphate rook). Carbon is also largely used by plants, but this is de rived from the atmosphere, throu h the agency of the leave, though many care ful experimenters affirm that it enters into the plants through their roots also. 8ibca is another substance that is al ways present in soils, in an insoluble state, but it is an important element in plant lood. No doubt tbe potash eeri ously affects silica when brought in con tact with it, which results in enabling the plants, through some unknown action of the roots, to uppropiiate it for food. The soil may be deficunt in one sub stance and alnjunding in another. It may be considered rich when sown to a certain crop and be too poor for another. A knowledge of this fact has enabled chemists to tormulate special fertilizers for peculiar soils and particular crops, which enables tarmcrs to economize in purchasing by avoiding the use of sub stances that exist in the soil, the saving ing in such purchases being applied to procuring that which is deficient. No two plants derive tbe same proportions of food from the soil, nor do any two varieties leed on exactly the same kind of fertilizing material. For instance, clover prefers a liberal supply of potash / and lime, while the cereals do better with phosphoric acid and nitrogen. The inquiiy of our correspondent is a very pertinent one, ami it would be to the interest of farmers as a class if they would thus interest themselves in the matter of properly feeding the plants and of the materials that exist in the soil. HoRSK-yHOEB.—A correspondent says hat youug horses should never have ooes imposed upon them until it is v ell proved .hat they cannot do without them. He predicts that the day is not lar off when some humane benefactor oi his kind and horse Kind will produce breed of horses having such firm tough feet, in additiou to all other good qualities, that shoeing will be un 'necessary. Black Walnut.—The scarcity am high puce of black walnut timber should induce faimers to cultivate this valua ble tree. Young men especially shnmc pay attention to the culture of blaca walnut, 'i'bt re are always places ou the farm where they can be grown, which are not occupied by other products. DOMESTIC. Grouse Pie Viroinia Style.—Pluck and singe four grouse, wipe them with a wet towel, out off the heads aud feet, and draw them without breaking the entrails; separate the livers without breaking the galls, and ponnd them to a smooth paste with a pound of fat ba con, one small onion peeled, and a table poonful of parsley; carefully peel a quart of mushrooms, wash them iu cold salted water; make a good pastry, and line a pie-mould or deep earthen dish with it: put a layer of force-meat half an inch thick all over the bottom and sides of the pic, seasoning it highly with salt and pepper, illling the spaces between them with the mushrooms and force-meat; over all lay thin slices of fat bacon, and then put on a cover of pastry, wetting the edges to make them adhere; brush the pie with beaten egg, and bake it in a moderate oven for two hours and a half. Meantime, break the bones of a knuckle of veal iu small pie ces and stew them in a quart of water, with a teaspoonful each of salt, white cloves and pepper-oorns, keeping tbe saucepan covered. When the pie is nealry done, strain the breth from the bones, and if it is not rich and semi- gelatinous dissolve m it a heaping tablespoonful of gelatine; season it pal atably if it lacks flavor, and then add to it the juice of a large sour orange. When the pie is doae pour the gravy into it through a cut in the upper crust, and then serve it either hot or cold. A few nights ago Mr. Gilbert, the actor, was standing at the gate of his house with his hat oft He had, iu fact, seen some ladies to their carriage; they had driven off, aud he remained stand ing on the sidewalk, enjoying the cool of the evening. Out of a neighboring louse where he had been dining steeped gentleman, who, after walking a few laces, became aware of Mr. Gilbert, whom he mistook for the butler of the establishment. Addressing him at onoe, with un air of polite superiority, he said: ‘ Will you call me a Hansom cub ?” “Certainly,” replied Mr. Gilbert, ‘you are a Hansom cab.” This odd bit I fun reminds me of poor Frank Tal- purd’s famous reply to the man who, seeing him on a bitter night without a wrap, said: "Why. Talpurd, you never wear an overcoat I” “No,” replied Tal purd, “I never was.” Mrs. M.

Condiments Used With Food.—A French physician has been making some interesting experiments on the effects of condiments used with food. hey show, among other things, that in cooking meat only an ounce of salt should be used with from six to twelve pounds of meat. If more is employed, it will do one of two things; it will mod ify the structure of a portion of the muscular fibre so as to render it more resistant to the action of the gastric juice, or it will itself cheek and retard the peptic fermentation, the very groundwork of digeation. It follows that salted and smoke 1 meats are more indigestible than fresh. Vinegar it ap pears, may be used with good effect, provided it is not in a quantity to irri tate tbe stomach, and is a pure dilution of ace io acid, freed from sulphuric or hydrochloric acids, the latter of which, though an active principle of the gas tric juice, must not be an excess In the stomaoli, or it will retard digestion. The hungry man will, therefore, be careful how he uses i-alt aud vinegar, and Dr, Hus on will by-and-by tell him something about pepper and mustard. Petroleum.—A writer in the Country Oentlcman recommends the soaking of the wood composing a summer house in crude petroleum, saying it will make any common wood nearly or about as durable as cedar, besides imparting to it a rich brown color. It would be an excellent idea to apply the same preser vative to trellises, etc. on lawns. Many a method or system for accom phsbiug an end is met with tUe objeo tiou from larmers that it involves trou ble; just us if trouble should make an;> difference in business.

Where this is done gelatine is quite superfluous. Add salt, and, if liked, other seasening. and pour it hot upon the meat; stir together and set aside over night, when it will cut into hand some mottled slices for breakfast or supper.
