The firat ee<l of A Nike clover in this

ilie late Ibivifi Thomas, of (lay up; a

lulapted to the generality of noils an thti
loniriiiin red or white kiruln. Hot where
the soil nuitn it, the growth i* good, ami
it affords finer {mature and hay than the
red, and is also more enduring, as the
root is somewhat fibrous, though not
creeping like the white clover. On ac
count of its smaller rnola, it would not,
ol e mrn, prove ho efficient as a fertHiz

superior for affording honey to bees.

The Poultry liullelin says that it has
rather discredited the idea l any cure
for gapes in chickens, hut now confesses,
after examination, that it has reason for
faith in camphor. The camphor nets
upon'the worms lv vapor, the same ns in
inhalation of earliolie acid fumes, and
being a very itrong vermifuge, if kills
the worms, it Is usual to give the
remedy iri {tills about the size of an ordi
nary |a'H, and also diluted in the
water they drink. The chicken will
ameM of the camphor for a long time after
taking it, and the fumes cannot fail to
penetrate the windpipe and lungs.
Naturalists use camphor to keep out
mites and various museum pests from
their cabinets, and we see no reason why
its fumes should not he destructive to
the gape-worm.

That we may realize what an enormous
amount of i xeillent human food goes to
waste for want of proper knowledge how
to utilize this skimmed milk, we have
only to look at the statistics oi butter
production in the United Ktntca. The
lowest estimate that can he made for
187<, liaed upon the census of 1870, is
650,000,050 pound* of butter; and it is
well estahlisiied that lor each pound of
butter made two pounds of cheese may
ho taken from the skimmed milk This
would yield I :I00,000,00(1 pounds of
cheese as the natural pmduelinn of the

Now, it we only value this eheoso as

would reprisent 1,733,333 head of cattle,

ciple that bluestone does not hurt the
wheat, and use it as a precaution.— Cos
him >S un.
From what we know of the occurrence
of the fungus “ smut,” we should say that
Mr. Phelps is right in his opinion of Ihe
communication of it, hut incorrect in his
conclusion with regard to the use of
bluestone. He " argues,” correctly” that
the smut comes from external causes,
and this is the way in which it comes.
When it becomes ripe the lungus bursts
out with a mass of dusty powder. This
powder, seen with a microscope, is shown
to he composed of countless spores
(germs), each particle of the mass of dust
thus being able to reproduce the "mut in
full form whenever Itfalle tlpon vegetable
tissue fitted for its growth. Of course
the great mass of these, germs fail to
reach a favorable resting place, and con
sequently neverdevelopi Homeof them,
however, continue through the winter,
and retain vitality enough to attack the
following crop. As the smut attacks the
heads of wheat, and as smutty heads go
through the thresher with the healthy
ones, it is plain that the chances are that
•he wheat which is reserved for seed has
some of the dusty spores of the fungus
dinging to it. To sow this would be to
sow grain and fungus together, and thu*
evidgntly largely increase the chance of
the tungus spire to get to the wheat
plant. Hut, latfore sowing, the farmer
biuestones his seed. The solution ol
copper, Isdrig fatal to the vitality of the
smut sjsirr s, simply assures the firmer
that he is not sowing live fungus spores
with his wheat. Of course this action
will not assure him freedom from smut,
for there may he live germs waiting in
the soil, and germs may be blown upon
the plants from adjoining fields, 'fiius
Mr.Phelps is right in concluding that
the smut conies from external causes;
but to draw from this the decision to
abandon bluestone, would he simply to
say that a man will take both chances,
one of putting the spores into the soil
and the other of their already being
there. Practice has shown that blue
stone wheat is not so likely to liei-mutty
as that which is not treated with the
solution, for the reason we have named.
Thus, in this sense of the term, the sun
is correct in characterizing the use of
bluestone as precautionary.
We are baldly sure of the exact
meaning of the terms “external,” as
opposed to “organic,” in the mind of the
writer above. l>o not most organic
troubles and diseases, both of plauts and
animals, come from external causes?
Hinut is organic, in that its germ, falling
on the plant, germinates and sends a
minute thread-like appendage directly
into the organic structure of the plant,
and, ramifying in its growth, finally
bursts forth from the cuticle, thus hav
ing accomplished the destruction of the
organic structure, and, like a true
parasite, having transformed the tissue
into its own form and substance.
The sun is right in tin; surmise that
external conditions have much to do
with the growth of the fungus. It is a
fact of frequent observation, that fungus
germs are dormant, or possessed of ex
ceeding great vitality and power ol
reproduction according as the conditions
needful to their development are favors
able or otherwise. — I'aeifie, Jtural I'm*.

A contemporary records the discovery
of a French pnarmaceutal chemist who
has discovered a way to protect horses
1 from attacks ot flies. According to a
liondon medical paper, his invention
j consists in rubbing the horses, especially
| the parts most subject to attack, with a
I little concentrated oil of laurel. There
; is not the slightest danger in its use, and
the cost is said to lie very small. An
other repellant suggested by the same
person is a solution of <>o grammes (one
: pound and five ounces averdupois) of
assahetida in two glasses of water and
' one of vinegar. If the horse lie well
washed with this, not a fly will settle
upon him, as the assafietida driveH the
fly away, This drug lias no deleterious
qualities as an external application, ami
may lie used unhesitatingly.

A Theory Borne 00l by Fuels.
The theory that lack of vigor is the under
lying cause of disease is receiving daily con
firmation of the most positive kind in the
cure of dyspepsia,liver disorders,and kidney,
bladderand uterine complaints by Hostetter’s
.Stomach Bitters, the ruling remedy for maia
(j;es attributable te weakness. This superb
tonic is never employed without the
beneficial effects. The liver, the bowels, the
organs of urination, and indeed the entire
system acquires both vigor and regularity
through its action, since its gives a healthful
impetus to every failing function. It is an
incomparable specific for chilis and fever,and
other maladies of a malarial type, prevents
their attacks, is a reliable means of counter
acting the effects of undue exposure to fatigue
and soothes as well as strengthens the ner
vous organism.
Enlargement of the spleen or ague
cake can he prevented or dissipated by using
Home Stomach Betters; its tonic-altera
tive powers being specially adapted to all
derangements of the portal system. Pre
