1 'ure plaster is comjKwd of thirty-three
per cent, of lime, forty-one per cent, of
sulphuric acid, and twenty-one per cent,
of water, ami is more or leas beneficial
to crop* as the soil is more or less defi
cient in one or more of thsse elements.
Its influence on plants is seen most plain
ly in the large in- rease of foliage and
stalk as distinguished from the for
mation of seed, and “therefore, it* effect*
bre visible on the different varieties of
clover. A crop of two tons of clover
contains about twenty-five pounds of
sulphate of lime whilst a crop of twenty-:
five bushels of wheat, straw and all, con
tains but seven pounds, and fifty bush
els of corn contain less than one pound. ]
And it is universally considered that j
plaster, on projicr kinds of soil and in I
right condition, is beneficial to all kinds j
of the clover family, yet that it increases ;
the yield of wheat, corn, rye, or oats is
not so generally conceded.
Liebig claimed—and we have great
faith in his opinion—that the chief bene
fit of piaster to land was that it absorbed
ammonia from the atmosphere and fixed
it in the soil. Others hold that, besides
(his quality, it disintegrates the com
pound silicates in the soil, setting free
tiie |tolash and magnesia—two essential
constituents of plant growth—and by
rendering them soluble and active in tho
soil, thus furnishes plants with four of
their very essential constituents, viz.:
sulphur, lime, potash and magnesia.
That there is a great difference in the
quality of the plaster is known to all ob
tervant farmers, and it lias been found
that the kind which, in grinding, emits
Ific strongest smell of sulphuric acid has
the best effect on vegetation; and w hilst
it cannot be denied that some piaster, in
shine seasons at least has littlo of no per
ceptible effect on vegetation, yet, when
pure, it is almost as powerful in ita effects
as the best of manures, and wlien incor
porated with or strewn over the manure
pile at once stops its strong, pungent
itnell by uniting with the ammuuia,
md thus preserving the strength of the
manure.
The great danger, however, to tho
farmer is purchasing plaster is tho lia
bility ornaving nil impure article im
posed upon him, and therefore ho can
not be too particular in satisfying him
self in this respect —BaUimtrrr Bun.
The Way to t'loar Woodland.
John F. Fitts writes, as follows, (o
Ilio New Vork Tribmu•: Ah impression
prevails among fanners that their grow
ing wood needs no nttoutiun, and when
Ihey find it desirable to cut off a portion
it is usually done without plan or con
sideration. I offer n hint toward a moro
regular system in tiie older States, to l)o
varied, of course, according to *i/.o and
peculiarity of tlie tract, ami the circum
staneo* of the proprietor. Most of our
wood at present is what iscalicd “second
growth”; much of it has been cut over
several times; littlo of the original forest
is left, and there are few tracts contain
ing old or very largo timber. 'I he gen
eral use of coal leaves little inducement
for the farmer to cut off wood to sell for
fuel. It should be his principle object,
therefore, where ids wood is of suitable
kinds, to let it Htnml until large enough
for timber, for which there is a good
prescat market, aud likely to be an even
l etter and more remunerative one in the
future. For more than thirty years,
wlii-ii cutting off a tract of woodland for
fuel, it has bocn my practice to lot all
tiie straight and thrifty timber trees
stand, such ns white oak, white pine,
hickory and chest nut. As wood for fuel
is most profitably cut off once in twenty
five or thirty years, nt tho second cut
ting these reserved trees will have bo
eome large enough for timber uses, and
can lie cut and worked up into lumber.
With this exception it is decidedly bc-t
in clearing off n woodlot to cut every,
thing clean.
Hut it it often recommended in agri
cultural papers to cut out for fuel only
the dead, crooked and unthrifty trees,
while the rest is allowed to stand. The
objections to this practice nro: The
danger of injuring the surrounding trees
while felling (tuck dead wood in the
midst of a thick growth; the difficulty of
getting out the wood of such trees with
■tit cutting roads in every direction
through the woodland, which would de
stroy more thriftly trees than the dead
wood is wortli; and lastly, there is no
end to this practice, for theto will be
more or less of dead wood to cut out
every year, and where the di ad or crooked
trees are cut there will spring up a now
growth which will not he large enough
to cut when the surrounding trees nro
ready to clear away. A far better way
is to cut everything clean, with the ex
ception mentioned above. The trees
will not then be in tho way of each
other in falling: teams can pass over the
tot in any direction without obstruction
in hauling off the wood, and the new
growth will come up even and uniform
over the whole tract. Supposing a
farmer begins Upon this system, cutting
off each year from a given tract what lie
wishes to use or to sell. lu the course
of a few years he will have his wood
land iu separate lots of different stages
of growth, and xx lien lie gets over the
whole iu twenty-five or thirty years ho
(or his children) can begin again where
lie commcnoctl at first, and this time he
can take off such of the valuable timber
as is matured and ready to removo.

Two Lovers Race for n llrldc.
“A young Lochlnvar is come out of

and the sympathies of all the people in
tho town of Fulton, Mo. Miss Ilcttio
I angljy is the daughter of a prominent
farmer,and as site is both fair and charm
ing she was an object of great interest to
the gallants of tho county. Miss Urundy
had several months ago decided that only
two suitors stood n chance of success, a
wealthy Toxan named W. A. Bncathen
and a poor but lmiiscme young man
named .lesso Hull. The Texas man re
cently learned that Hull and Miss Hcttio
wero engaged, and resolved to play his
last card, lie went to the girl’s father
ami offered him $5,000 for Miss Bottle.
The father accepted and contracted to
deliver his daughter's affections into tho
hands of Mr. Bncathen. Tho stern parent
rounded-up tho beautiful liottie and
told her that Hull had to move on, and
that she must marry Sncathon. Hie said
she would take tho matter under ndvise
nient. Sim then sent a messenger hur
riedly to Hull and told him to secure a
license and moot her Saturday. Ho
failed to appear Saturday, anil Miss
Hettie stopped with the family of Hod
Douglas. Meanwhile her father told tho
Texas lover that the coast was clear, and
this morning Sneathcn got his license.
He left the Hocorder’s office as Hull en
tered aud desired a license to marry tho
same girl. Miss Hcttio was informed of
what had taken place and sent for Kldcr
Hcece. Hull had also gone after the
preacher and found Bncathen at the
house. Hoth men ran for Mr. Douglas's
house. Hull was the best sprinter, and
with the license in one hand aud his hat
in the other he came puffing into his
sweetheart’s arms fully SOO yards ahead

Bear Against Buffalo.
When there wero buffalo on tho plains
tho Manitoba grizzlies were great hunt
ers of them. When a grizzly aud a
buffalo met there xvas always sure to be
a contest, but it seldom lasted loug, and
the buffalo was usually the victim. The
buffalo would charge u|>on the bear,
which axvaited the ouset of his foe erect
on his hauuchcs. As the buffalo dashed
upon him the bear threw himself aside,
and with a olow as quick as lightning
with one of his fore paws seldom failed
to break his antagonist's neck. A
grizzly bear has been kuown to engage
in quick succession four and even five
big buffalo bulls, and to kill every one
of them. It frequently happened, "how
ever, that some younger and more active
bull than his companions succeeded iu
evading the fatal blow of the grizzly’s
terrible fore paw long enough to give in
turn a fatal thrust xvillt his horn in the
War's side, puncturing the vitals, and
making of the contest a mutual
slaughter.—. Vine i'orl Sun.

j tiye members and 103 associate, the latter
I being those who are unable to do active
I work, but who aid the society by an an
nual contribution of not less than five
dollars.
In fifteen years the work grew to such
proportions that it became necessary to
nave larger facilities for usefulness.
Thousands of self-supporting women
came to its doors to seek both temporal
and spiritual aid. Its class rooms were
not only lull, but overflowing. Tbe em
ployment rooms were pressed beyond
their utmost rapacity, and it was finally
decided that the increased work de
manded more commodious quarters.
Twenty-fivo thou-mid dollars was im
mediately subscribed and the work of
demolishing tho old structure was com
menced. A house on East Twelfth street
was leased for fifteen months so that the
work should suffer no interruption, and
here I lie greater part of the work was
carried on until the completion of the
new building.
Tho plan of the memlicrs was to have
their association hall built free of debt.
To do this $125,000 was needed. Various
plans for raising this wero suggested,
and it was finally decided that the best
way to get it was to ask for it. The re
sult proved the wisdom of their course,
for lieforo January, 1886, SBO,OOO was
collected, and in a very short time not
only was the remaining $45,000 paid in,
but enough more to completely furnish
the house, to equip it with all appliances
for work, and to leave a surplus of $lO,-
000 for future alterations.

order that the self-supporting women of

A Girl I)i-uinmor.
A turn littlo woman skipped lightly
from the steps of a Baltimoro & Ohio
passenger coach at the Chestnut Htrect
Station the other night. Wulking ahead
of her were Senator Thomas V. Cooper
and wife, who came in the same car from
Washington. There was something about
the fcmalo that would attract a second
glance as she hurried off in her neat
fitting, long plush coat, show jngMust tin
lower plaits of a stylish woolen traveling
dress, and a jaunty bit of a brown velvet
bonnet bobbing with her head as lively
as the convenient gripsack rattled which
she carried in her hand.

CATARRH IN THE HEAD.
’ SYIWJPTTOffIS, °’ THE OTSEASE.-Dull, heavy headache,
obstruction t>r the nasal passages, discharges falling from tho
head into the throat, sometimes profuse, watery* and acrid, at
others, thick, tenacious, mucous, purulent, bloody and putrid;
the eyes are weak; there is ringing in the ears, deafness, hacking
or coughing to clear tho throat, expectoration of offensive mat
tcr, together with scabs from ulcers; the voice is changed and
has a nasal twang”; the breath is offensive; smell and taste
Impaired; there is a sensation of dizziness, with mental depres
sion, a hacking cough and general debility. Only a few or the
above-named symptoms are likely to be present in any one case.
Thousands of cases annually, without manifesting half of tho
above symptoms, result in consumption, and end in the gTave.
No disease is so common, more deceptive and dangerous* less
understood, or more unsuccessfully treated by physicians.
Oauriau Arune r Oll woul< * remove an evil, strike at its
bUMMUN UINSI root ' Aa the predisposing or real cause of
_ catarrh is, in the majority of cases, some
TRPITMFNT weakness, impurity, or otherwise faulty
condition of the system, in attempting to
cure the disease our chief aim must bo
directed to the removal of that cause. The more we see of this
odious disease, and wo treat successfully thousands of cases an
nually at the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, the more do
we realize tho importance of combining with the use of a local,
soothing and healing application, a thorough and persistent inter
nal use of blood-cleansing and tonic medicines.
a In curing catarrh and all the various diseases with
lIKIEF which it is so frequently complicated, as throat,
m bronchial, and lung diseases, weak stomach, ca-
KPI liunr tarrhal deafness, weak or inflamed eyes, impure

glands, thereby softening; the diseased nnd thickened membrane,
