SOLIDS IV MILK.
The fact that milk is liquid inform deceives
many persons as to its nutritive
value, as well as regards the character of
j? food needed to produce it. Farmers
know by experience that mangolds or
pther beets, whilo often promoting ?
- ' large flow of milk. *>i--' adit of poor
?????-*..t"7fty reduce the flesh of tho
?" rr*- . Y"8 fact is explained by the
chemical analysis of milk, which shows
? Per c.ent- of water,while
vu? uiBuguius niivo mneiy-one per cent.
Fodder corn when green has eighty per
cent, of water, hut it contains eveu less
proportion of nitrogenous matter thau
the mangolds. Good milk is rich in two 1
important and vnluablo elements. Its
carbon is in the form of fat, and is shown
Sn cream and butter. Its nitrogenous
matter shows when the milk is soured,
making curd and cheese. Unless both
these elements aro furnished in tho food,
the milk can only be good at the expense
of the cow.?Baton Cultivator.
MAINTAINING FERTILITY OF THE FARM. ^
In an nddresss before one of the New
York Farmers' Institutes Secretary Woodward
had the following to say on main- |
taining fertility of tho soil:
^'Rotation will not save land. It puts
off the calamity of exhnustion. It simply
equalizes the ratio of exhaustion. It
is said 'tillage is manure.' Tillage does
not add any manure. It works it out
faster. Weeds arc better than bare land.
Summer-fallowing is a very expensive
process. I had rather grow weeds and
plow them uuder. It would bo better
for the land. Bare land loses its ammonia.
Sow rye in tho corn to conserve
the fertility. Naked earth is a losing
earth. IIow shall wo make fertility!
We can do it by tho purchase of com-,
mercinl fertilizers; but this system is too
costly, unless for special crops. Another
way is by means of stable manure. 4I
have,' Mr. Woodward said, 'banished
the word barnyard from my vocabularv.
A. barnyard is a nuisance. My stable
manure paid mo last winter, by feeding
itock, over $1 a load profit over and
above all it cost. I buy cottonseed and
linseed meal, middlings and bran, and
my manuro comes from these foods fed
to animals. By this system the farm is
getting richer all the time.'"?Hew York

THE ASH PLANTS.
In somo parts of plants there is but
very little ash, while others may coplain
a largo per cent. This ash is a complex
compound containing a dozen or more
ubstances. There arc two classes of
ash ingredients, namely: the essential
and tho non-essential or accidental,
rhey all come from the soil, aud some of
the essential ingredients of the -ash are
required in larger quantities by t^cnlapt
than others. The nontiai"^a<rb- '
itanccs obtain entrance because ;
in the soil water, ahd "fh'6 ^lahtnna no '
power of excluding tlpnq. ><c^The '.folloiflp-.
m'm lng~are the essential''constituents: "
potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron and
phosphorus. These elcraeuta may enter
united with acids of various kinds, or
tho last acting as an acid may, for oximple,
be in union yvith tho lime 3 i
(calcium) as phosphate of lime. The
potassium may be united with sulphuric
icid, and called sulphate of potash.
Muriate of potash is a common form in.
which potash is applied to the soil, it be- ^
ing soluble and quickly taken up by the^r
plant. Water, which is the solvent for
them all, makes up a very large part of
svery growiug plant, aud is tho suf)-"
itancc from which oxygen am) hydrogen .
ire obtained for making the plant tissues.

Recently, wandering in the fatndus

the "grotto," n mass of nrtifcjfil rocfcwork,
constructed in the sidc^fa^STco*?
glomerate ledgo and suitably ]>Uuted
with ferns and underbrush. I 'wis prevented
from critical examination by an
overpowering odor of skunk. An employee
explained that some of the waterpools
in the grotto leak, and, becoming
dry, form traps into -which skunks fall
and cannot get out, and when thus imprisoned
they are killed, sometimes two
or three a week. 4'Why do you kill
them?" "Because they root and dig little
boles in the grass"?and he showed me
a slopo full of the places where the
sharp noses had prodded for grubs. The
grass was dead for several square yards,
and could easily have been rolled up
like a blanket, the roots having all tyeeu
severed by white grubs, and it was
these enemies of the lawn that the
skunks were after. I was surprised that
in intelligent Boston such ignorance of
the value of the skunks should prevail,
and advised the man to destroy his
skunk traps aud thus get rid of the 1
grubs as well as tho job of killing the
skunks, with the attending drawback of
unwelcome perfumery. ? Nc.o York

The opinions and practices of vine-,
yardists vary greatly in regard to the p
best way as well as the best time for
grafting the grape. Home propagators ^
have excellent success in grafting on
roota below the surfaco of the ground in
December, or before the ground freezes 1
in the fall, protecting the yjions by heapinjboil
over tbem. Othprs have tried
falubrpfting and failed. The moat com-, t

are cut in winter, tied in small bundles,
and packed in moist, sand, moss, or ianbark,
then stored in a cool place. When
the time arrives for use they arc taken
and washed clean with cold water and
cut up into the lengths desired.
The mode called crown grafting isfht
one usually employed; that is, inserting
the cion into the crown of the old stock,
which is cut off close to or just below tho
surface of the ground. Tho cion should
6? tied in place with strips of bassweof
bark, and the soil bauked about it, leiiv.
ing tho uppermost bud only exposed.
No wax is used in grafting tho grape by
this mode, as tho soil drawn around tho

than graftiug wax.?JVew York

for fast-walking horses; if a farmer by

claimed that first-class ploughing cannot

A Doctor's "Bore Bell."

What Stockinette Cloth Is.
Strictly speaking, stockinette is not a
rloth, for it is not a woven fabric, but a
cnittcd texture. 4'By a process of knittug,
and not by weaving the individual
threads of which a stockinette fabric is
composed are interlaced into one regular
texture. Tho work is performed in a
kind of a frame or loom, in which the
yarns are arranged in parallel order, at
uniform distances apart, as in ordinary ?
weaving. Of course, the machine is
automatic in its movement and capable
of produciug a great length of cloth in
a very short time. The fabric thus
formed is ornamented with a fine ribbed
pattern, similar iu character to that seen
in common knit good. This article generally
handles soft, full and clastic, but
lacks those valuable characteristics of
itrcngth and firmness of texturo or
nakc, which obtain a woven cloth prop;r."
The difference between the structure
it this fabric and that resulting from
weaving warp and weft yarns together
nay be illustrated as follows: Tako a
ample of stockfnetto cloth and try to
withdraw a thread, and what is tho reiult?
The whole construction is unravilcd.
Next submit a loom product to a
similar examination and it will be found
that if longitudinal or warp threads are
removed the transverse or weft threads
will remain, while, on the other hand, if
the latter are withdrawn the warp threads
will, although the texture may bo partly
destroyed, still remain, to a certain extent,
undisturbed. Again, the manner in
which a knitted fabric is constructed
limits the designer to one class of wc?Ve
effects?these being of a stockinette character?whereas
tnc principles of weaving
ire of such a dcsciiption as to admit of
unlimited change or variation in dusigu.
