L'adcr tho Supen-Won of the Executive Committee efr Pomona Grntiso. Uomc-MadXlertilteers. nC'MadosFcii l. Nichols/"^ Dr. J. R. NicholsjXie editor of the Journal of Chemistry, recently had a field meeting, on his farm, of shout one hun? dred working farmers, arid delivered to them in the barn an address on chemical fertilizers and their manufacture, from which wo take the fol loving es tract, which we copy from the report of the Massachusetts Ploughman : "\__ Dr. N. alluded to the meeting'-is "a farmers' barn meeting, or for tbe time dc-_ ing, we will call it Our Agricultural' College," and promised to graduate all his hearers in about an hour without diplomas. He added that "probably never before in the history of agriculture in our country, has a meeting like this of farmers been held in such a place for such an object." "As the sight is the readiest avenue to ? the mind, he said that at the close of the lecture, Mr. Davis, the efficient superin? tendent of this farm, will call you into .the barn-yard contiguous, and then with apparatus and implements, such as are used on the farm, will proceed to pre? pare, not simply an ounce or a pouud but five hundred pounds of superphosphate of lime, the most importaut of all forms of plant food. He will also show you ?other combinations ot fertilizers, a knowledge of which it is important to ?)Ossess. You have seen the room or aboratory below, simple, plain, and without machinery, in which the fertil? izers for the farm are prepared. In that room, Mr. Davis, during the past winter, made about twelve-tons' of superphos? phate of high grade, analyzing sixteen per cent of soluble phosphoric acid, and also several tons of other compounds nsed in the various crops on the farm. He will use three hundred aud eighty pounds of bone charcoal, and a carboy of oil of vitriol, one hundred and sixty-five pounds, in making the superphosphate, and you must observe all the proceed? ings, observe how he handles the carboy so as to avoid spilling or slopping, how he mixes tho bone with the acid and water, bow he manipulates the mass with his wooden hoe. The box in which he will make the mixture is of wood, four feet square and one foot deep, and it is lined with thick sheet lead,?the lead in one piece, soldered at the corners stroug ly with lead solder. A tin solder will not do, as the acid will act upon it. This box is the result of much experi? ment, and is the best and cheapest vessel that can be devised. Its capacity is just j ? right for making one-fourth of a ton of superphosphate at a time, and it requires | a whole carboy of vitriol, so that no frac? tional parts of acid are left to cause trou? ble. He will use in the manufacture: 1 carboy oil of vitriol....165 pounds Fine bone charcoal.380 pounds Water.... 10 gallons The water is first placed in the trough, and the acid is added to it, then the bone is gradually added, causing a great boil? ing with evolution of heat and steam as you will see. You observed in the labo? ratory that there were roof windows that could be opened for letting out the steam ; these are necessary. It takes about au hour for the reaction to become com? plete, and then it will soon dry and be free from moisture. It needs no grind? ing?it is ready for the field as soon as cool.. Specimens of each lot as made, here, are taken to the analytical labora? tory and analyzed to ascertain how per? fect has been the reaction. You have visited the laboratory, up stairs at the end of the building. This is necessary for the chemist, as it is there that all his results are worked ont, but it is not need? ed by you. You will need a cheap room with good ventilation for the manufac? ture, and the simple implements you see here are all that are necessary. In order that you may understand the nature of the materials and compounds we prepare, I will now proceed to state the chemical constitution of bones, and what changes bone strnctures undergo when subjected to chemical treatmeut. The bony framework of men and animals is essentially alike, and tbe i-.olecules of which they are composed come from the foods consumed. Tbe bones which hold up the muscles and integuments of our animals, come from bay, grain and green forage, &c. It is necessary for cows to procure a much larger amount of bono material than they need for the repair of osseous waste in their bodies, for the composition of milk calls for a large amount of the phosphates. When you learn that in about every 30 gallons of milk there is one pound of tribauc phos? phate of lime, or bone material, you will nave some idea of the importance of this substance in the food of cows. The bones of the infant, fed on milk, come from this principle, and hence we learn the medium through which humr.n or animal structures are built up. Permit me to remark in passing, that it must be obvious to you that an animal in milk like a cow, cannot yield excrement of high value. Most of the rich material obtained from the pasture, or from any form of food, goes to the milk, and hence little is left of value to return to the soil. We often hear farmers say they keep cows and sell milk so as to maintain the fertility of the farm. This is absurd, on the principle that you cannot eat your pudding and have it too. A cow in milk requires about 80 lbs. of bone material a year, and consequent? ly a herd of 25 cows will carry off from our pastures and the barn a ton of bone materials each year. It is apparent that I this process of exhaustion cannot con tinue for a very long period without ren? dering our fields sterile. We must re? turn to them the bone material they have lost,?we must, in other words, feed our hungry plants upon the soluble phos? phate of lime, and thus give to them re? newed vigor; and they in turn will yield the same back to our animals, and from them our own bodies will be nourished. Plants cannot assimilate bone in its ordi? nary condition; it must be rendered sol? uble in water before it can enter plant | structure, and how this is accomplished it is important to understand. Phos? phoric acid, the element in bone which plants require and which, therefore, be? comes what we call a fertilizer, is not the only kind needed to render our fields productive. It is one of the three great essentials of plant food, for there aro but | three that we need trouble ourselves par? ticularly about. The others are nitrogen and potash. It is proper to remark here that the great bulk of all vegetable struct? ures comes from the air, and is, therefore, furnished abundantly and gratuitously; what concerns us directly is the matter of furnishing proper supplies of phos? phoric acid, nitrogen and potash to our fields and crops, and it is our business to learn how to obtain, prepare and apply these substances. Now, first, let us consider phosphoric ucid, what it is, and how we are to lit it for plant nutrition. I shall use in the experiments this afternoon what is known as bone charcoal, for the purpose of developing or setting free phosphoric acid, and here it is in the vessel before you. It is, as you eee, a black granular substance, resembling coarse black sand. This substance is simply burnt bones, bones charred, or changed into animal charcoal by heat. The animal portion, or the gluten, is carbonized and the bone structure destroyed. It is a substance largely employed by sugar refiners to de? colorize syrups, and after it has served their purpose it is sold to makers of fer? tilizers to be changed into super-phos? phate. What is the meaning of this word, so often brought to ths attention of farmers? Super raeaus above, ovtr or higher. When prefixed to the word phos? phate, or phosphate of lime, it meant; that lime is overcharged with phosphoric acid. In this vessel I have a fine white Eowder in mass, as you see; it is pure one powder. Now, this is composed of lime and phosphoric acid: it is a phos Ehate, but not a fi/^cr-phosphate of lime, ecausc it holds three parts of lime and only one of acid. If it was like the pow? der in this vessel I have in my hand, it would hold only one part or equivalent of lime, with the same of acid, and thcu it would be swpcr-phosphate. 9 JLimc is a substance the nature of which you very well understand, but of phosphoric acid you know less. I can show you here upon the table this most interesting acid in two forms; in the phial I have what is known as glacial phosphoric acid. It resembles ice, and hence its name?a very beautiful sub? stance, hard, transparent, and intensely sour. In this phial we have it in the -form of a clear colorless liquor, about as dense as syrup. This is prepared from the jet black super-phosphate you see upon the table. Phosphoric acid is an iudispeusable constituent of plants; not a plant exists which has it not. How it happened to become necessary in plants, this wonderful acid, we do not know. In bones it exists locked up most firmly. Every molecule or little particle is in the embrace of three molecules or atoms of lime, and they hold it so tenaciously, that we. cacnot make it available for plants unless we proceed to violently tear the molecules asunder and drive the lime into new combinations. This we accom? plish by the aid of strong sulphuric acid, oil of vitriol. Now, let us understand this matter, so that when Mr. Davis mixes that fiery liquid, that carboy of vitriol, with those two barrels of bono charcoal, we shall know just what bappeus. Vitriol, you say, will burn our clothing, o;:r flesh, and so it will, and yet we arc going to pcur it on to that bone, and in one hour not an ounce of the vitriol will exist as such. The black liquid will seethe, and boil, and hot steam will rise, and iu one hour yon cvi put your hand into the mass." and hanalc*~it' as you can sugar. What becomes of the vitriol ? I will tell you. The bone is composed, as wc have said, of three equi valents of lime and one of phosphoric acid. Now, the vitriol has a Mtrong liking for lime, or it seizes hold of it whenever it can reach it, and be? comes locked up in its embrace, and sul? phate of linifh formed. This is the gyp? sum, or plaster with which you are well acquainted. The whole of that ten gal? lons of acid is to become locked up with the lime in those barrels of boue, and it will disappear in its new combination completely, and now you ask, what be? comes of the phosphoric acid t Well, that is a pertinent question. As soon as tho vitriol seizes the lime, the phosphoric acid is set free as it were, but a kind of vacuum exists; the condition of the acid is an unnatural one, and hence it asso? ciates itself with an amount of water suf? ficient to replace the lost lime. The vitriol will seize but two of the three atoms of lime, and so the phosphoric acid is Jert in the form of what chemists designate a mono-calcic phosphate: that is, it holds one equivalent of lime and two of water, and now it has become sol? uble. We have prepared a vat full of I super-phosphate, aud that is composed of j phosphoric acid soluble in water, lime, and gypsum ; by far the largest propor? tion of the bulk is gypsum. 'It has been ray endeavor to avoid the use of technical terms, the true language of chemistry, in order to render every statement intelligible to you. I will now veuture to put upou the-blackboard some diagrams, or tables, which I hope will make very plain the reactions or changes which bones undergo iu manufacturing superphosphate. There are three forms of phosphate of lime: that is, lime is held by phosphoric acid in three propor? tions, and in naming them I must use the chemical terms. Your attention is called to the illustration upon the black? board : Tri-calcic Phosphate. Phosphoric acid Lime, Lime, Lime. Bi-calcic Pho^hate. Mono-calcic Phosphate. Phosphoric acid;Phosphoric acid Lime, Lime, Water. Lime, Water, Water. In this diagram we have a clear illus? tration of what I have endeu- ored to state to you. Plain bone without the animal part, is iri-calcicphosphate, phos? phoric acid, lime, lime, lime; bi-culcic. phosphate is phosphoric acid, lime, lime, water; mono-basic phosphate is phospho? ric acid, lime, water, water. Mr. Davis will act upon the three lime phosphate, and change it over into the one lime phos? phate with his vitriol. He begins with an insoluble substance, that is, insoluble in water, and leaves off with one that is soluble. All the phosphoric acid held by three equivalents of lime is now held only by one. If he took fine ground raw bone, he would reach the same result so far as chemical action is concerned, but he would have a pasty mass, very difii cult to dry. If he took the Charleston }>owdered phosphatic rocks, he would have a dry and mauagnble powder after the reaction is over. Therefore, you can? not well act upon raw bones cither fine or in small bits satisfactorily, but you can upon bone char, or the rocks of the Charleston marl ueds. Now, you ask, if this superphosphate will remain soluble as it is for a long time? I answer, probably not all of it. The mono-basic phosphate has a ten? dency to go back, or revert, as the change is sometimes termed, and this means that it will to some extent, that is, the phos? phoric acid, lake up another equivalent of lime in the compound and thus be? come bi-basiephosphate. I regard this as a not unfavorable change, for the reason that it is more slowly soluble in the soil, it is not so quickly available, and there? fore is more enduring in its action upon crops. It is not certain but that we shall fiud it better to convert all of our phos? phates into the bi-basic form, rather than into the mono-basic, as that form of acid may be too strong to be assimilated by plants. We do not yet know precisely in what condition the acid is taken up; we certainly know it must be soluble in water, however." Labob Statistics.?Tlie tenth annual report of the Massachusetts Bureau of Statistics of Labor contains somo very interesting data in regard to some much discussed subjects. There has been a great deal of wild statement iu regard to the number of unemployed workingmen, and the Bureau made special efforts to collect information on this point. A can? vass was made of nil the cities, and a circular of inquiry was sent to tiie asses? sors of every town. Answers were re? ceived from all but fifty-one towns, rep? resenting a population of only 77,45!), out of a total of 1,051,912, and producing only $13,200,000 worth of goods out of a total of $592,831,962, and $5,(189,983 worth of agricultural products of n total of $11,521,799. By the reports received it appeared that there were 21,812 unem? ployed laborers of which 8,070 were skilled and 13,252 unskilled. The 1<> cities showed 12,135 unemployed and the 325 towns 9,077 unemployed. During the last campaign in Massachusetts it was frequently declared that there were from 200,000 to 300,000 out of work in til at State, and at least 3,000,000 in the United States, but investigation shows that the statement is absurd I v extravagant. The subject of convict labor which lias attrac? ted so much attention is discussed at great length in the report. It appears that the total number of State convicts in the United .States in 1S7S was only 211,107, and of these, 13,18(5 were under contract or employed in mechanical in? dustries, and it is shown that the products of prison labor are only about one-fifth of one per cent, of the manufactures of the United States, certainly too small a quantity to affect tho pay of 1'ree laborers. A Comparison or Wasps. The Boston Herald shows that there are points of comparison, though by no means so many as might be supposed, between the table of wages just furnished by the State Bureau of Labor Statistics and the report upon the earnings of Brit? ish workers, which was prepared at the end of laut year by Prof. Leon Levi. The arrangement of the two returns is so dif? ferent that often, in entire branches of business, no exact or even fair collation can be made. Here and there, however, the reports touch hands in an identic classification. It will be seen from the comparison presented below that Ameri? can workmen have no reason to envy their brethren in Great Britain. The wages paid in the United States are de? cidedly and universally larger than those earned in the respective employments across the sea. Agricultural laborers, according to the report of our bureau, receive in Massachusetts $10.75 per month, with board, or $1.25 per day, without board. Tu England, Prof. Levi states that "mining and agricultural wages vary considerably"?from $3.25 to $5 per week. Even at the highest figure the worker on English land would re? ceive but $22 per month, without board. Thus the maximum rate abroad falls far below the average rate here. Carpenters earn $11.33 per week in the United States against $9.84 per week in England.? Masons, $13.37 per week in the United States and S9.S4 per week in England. In regard to bakers a correct comparison is more difficult. The bureau report zives them $11.97 per week here, while Prof. Levi put* the earnings of the same class in England at $6.5U and $7.50 per week "in addition to their board and lodging." In brewery work the differ? ence is very marked. The wages of the men in the mash house and on the mash floor range from $10.9(j to $12.31 per week in the United States against only $4.50 to $5.25 per week earned in similar posi? tion abroad. In cabinet making, chair makers average ?ll per week In the United States, and $S.75 per week in England. Carvers average $12.33 per week in the United States, against $8.56 per week in England. Polishers receive $10.25 per week here in comparison with $7 to $8.50 obtained on the other side of the Atlantic. Lest the ladies should think that their position here offers a more unfavorable comparison with the position of their sister workers abroad, we may state before closing that ordinary dress-makers arc rated as earning $7.43 per week in the United States, against $4 to $4.50 per week in Great Britain. A Model Farmer.?Mr. J. G. Brazel who farms about twelve miles below Columbia, in Bicbland County, has set an example to all who arc in the habit ofthinkinc and teaching that farming does not pay. Last year he ran three ploughs, tending about eighty.-five acres, and he made sufficient provisions to keep his family a year, and a considerable quantity to sell, both of grain and bacon. His farm yielded him ten bales of cotton, about seven hundred bushels of corn and peas, and any quantity of rough food for stock, such as fodder, peavines, &c, besides a good many chants, not meas? ured, also, about 150 bushels of potatoes. His wife raised 60 turkeys, and a great many chickens, of which latter she sold $25 or $30 worth. He attributes his success to the fact that he and his two sons did their own ploughing, worked early and late, or as he has expressed it, they "were at work when the whippoor wills hollered in the morning and when the whippoorwills hollered in the even? ing," and finally they abstained from intoxicating liquor. DlAMSODS Uxeaktiied. ? Surely, since human hearts arc what they are, a far-away God would bo like the sun ol the tropics to the ice-bound at the poles. A muddy pool, rippled by a breeze, will sparkle quite brilliantly while in motion; but when quiet it is seen the more plainly to be only a shallow pool. The darkest clouds that shadow our paths arc not the vapors that rise from the earth, the thoughts and memories of an unhapy and a sinful heart. I had rather die a thousand deaths by torture than lose my faith that there is a God who will bring order out of this chaos of broken, thwarted lives, of which the world Is full, and that those who seek a "happier shore" will eventually nnd it. Let those of us whose circumstances forbid a haukering after riches, resolve to make the best even of limited oppor? tunities; let us not murmur vainly that tiiere is no place for us in the aforesaid temple, or perhaps the ground floor; there is plenty of room quite ouUide the precincts of that famous structure to live a life, not grand and great it may bo, but surely good and noble. It is a dreary sensation to find oneself wholly forgotten by mere acquaintances; but to Cud that we have uo place in the thoughts of those we love, seems iu a certain sense like being annihilated. lieuuty may attract love at first, but it alone cannot retain affection. It is the sterling qualities of the heart and mind that win in the long run. Let every one sweep the drift from his owu door and not busy himself about the frost on his neighbor's titles. The man or woman whom excessive caution holds back from striking the an? vil with an earnest endeavor, is poor and cowardly of purpose. Circumstances cannot control genius; it will restlo with them; its power will bend and break them to its path. There are more roads to the heart than by cold steel. Looking up so high, worshiping so si? lently, wc tramp out the hearts of flowers that lift their btigt heads for us and die alone. jacob'S Wem..?In the new Quarter? ly Statemeut of the Palestine Explora? tion Fund we read:? "One of the few sites in Palestiue, the identity of which has never been assailed, is that of Jacob's Well. It is situated a mile and a half east of Nablus, on the edge of the Plain of Mukhua, and on the eastern base of Mount Gerwin. Cap? tain Anderson, who examined it in ISM, cleared out the mouth, and was lowered by a rope to the bottom. He found it seventy-live feet deep, of a circular form, with a diameter of 7 feet 6 inches, and lined throughout with rough masonry. The bottom of the well was perfectly dry (in May), but the presence of a small unbroken pitcher proved that water is sometimes found in it. Captain Ander? son thinks, however, that the well?into which every visitor throws a stone?was formerly very much deeper. Besides the stones, debris of a ruined church, built over the well in the fourth century, has fallen into it nnd helped to (ill it up. An offer has been made by Dr. Nathan? iel Rogers, of Exeter, one of the subscri? bers to the fund, of ??? towards the complete cleaning out of this well, so rich iu Scriptural associations. The committee have accepted his oiler, and propose to perform this work on the re? turn of the survey party. It is estima? ted that an additional ?50 will be re? quired for the labor, making 6100 in all; and it will be expedient to have the work superintended by the English olli cers of the Fund. When cleared out, however, steps should bo taken to pre? vent its being filled up again, and the committee would, like to surround the mouth of the well with some kind of memorial stone work the nature and de? sign of which wili be a matter of careful consideration.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. DAIN in the right side, under the i edge of the ribs, increases cn pres? sure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the pntivst is rarely able to lid on the left side; .sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder blade, and it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss of appe? tite and sickness; the bowels in gen? eral are costi- e; sometimes alternative' with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There is generally a considerable loss of mem? ory, accompanied with a painful sen? sation of having left undone some? thing which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient complains of weariness ?.nd debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensa? tion of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exer? cise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them ex? isted, -yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the liver to have been extensively deranged, AGUE AND FEVER. Dr. C. McLane's Liver Pills, in cases or Ague and Fever, when taken with Quinine, are productive of the most happy results. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. We would advise all who are afflicted with this disease to give them a fair trial. For all bilious derangements, and as a simple purgative, they are unequalcd. ? HE WARE OF IMITATIOXS.
