A Fertilizer Hint.
3. B. S. has a light, gravelly and poor
•oil which he proposes to seed to wheat
with grass, and has salt, lime, plaster and
ashes as a fertilizer. As tho land has
never had salt or lime, their application
may be very beneficial. Wo advise sow¬
ing alternate strips with the salt, lime
and plaster, to see how they act. That
is the only way to tell—experiment for
yourself. Nor should wo bother to mix
these with tho bone and ashes, but apply
them separately and in varying quanti¬
ties ; but don’t get on more than two bar¬
rels of salt per acre, and less may be as
well. The ashes, if pure and unleached,
will contain about six per cent, of potash
and two per cent, of phosphoric acid;
pure fine ground bone contains about
four twenty per cent, of phosphoric acid and
per cent, of nitrogen (commonly
called ammonia). Mixed together in
equal proportions, wo have a fertilizer
running two phosphoric per cent, of nitrogen, eleven
per cent, of acid and three per
cent, of potash; apply this at the rate of
500 pounds to 2,000 pounds per acre, ac¬
cording to your purse, aud you should
get results that will please you. The
bone and ashes should be composted and
kept fore moist for two or three months be¬
soften using, the so that the potash will cut and
bone. We should drill this in,
and broadcast and harrow in the salt and
plaster, be better though .—Farm broadcasting and Oaracn. for both may
“The Carious in Dairying.”
An Ohio farmer says iu the New York
Tribunc: One comes across “queer wrin
kles” in dairying; some of them really
have a “scientific” side, but the operators
for the life of them can give no reason
for their practice. One lady says she al
ways of puts each a milk pint of cold water in the cen
tro pan when she “sets it;”
why, she does not know, but she always
has good luck getting cream. Now there
is more science about this than appears on
the surface. Milk contains more or less
albuminous matter which makes it slightly
“sticky.” In some instances this is very
marked, and amounts to pronounced vis¬
cosity. Water is a solvent of it, and the
addition of pure cold water makes the
milk get more fluid and enables the but¬
ter fats to rise with more resistance, and
hence the better cream. The cooling ef¬
fect of the water at the centre of the
milk might sid more than one would
think possible. The only elTeet would
be that of making the milk more limpid,
and would not he objectionable, but the
question comes up, would there not be
more milk certainty about can-pails cream rising if the
were put in and set in
tanks of cold water, and the lower, uni
form temperature of the milk secured?
Another curious custom lately came to
my knowledge-that of washing out the
butter with sweet skim milk, as it did

or strong butter be washed out with
sweet milk, it dissolve s and liberates
somo of the elements, notably acids, that
cause the change in butter. I suspect this

and the sweet milk takes out the ele

Had this lady churned consequent low price,

The market is strongly drifting toward

Fattening Pig* on Pasture.
A notion prevails that pigs cannot be
fattened unless closely shut up in a pen.
Along in September, ns soon as corn is
large enough be to be fed to them, the pigs

where they cannot fjet a sniff of fresh air

suddenly deprived of it; and when not
contented they will not readily take on
flesh. I think the idea must have origi¬
nated in the fact that a few hogs, shut
away the from the main drive, will do better
on same feed than the others. This
separation usually occurs at fattening
time. The advantage gained in this way
may sometimes exceed the loss occasioned
by removal from grass, and thus give rise
to the notion that close confinement on a
plank floor is just the thing for fattening
pigs. is
Again there extinct} a breed ([ am glad it is

Notre Dame, the Hotel Cluny, the older
portion of the Tuileries and many other
of the public edifices of Paris having
been derived from this source. Bo ex¬

Paris within the walls more than a tenth
part is said to have been honeycombed in
this manner. It was not till within the
last 100 years that the received quarries the have
served the purpose or name
of catacombs.
Many Parisian churches and cemeteries
have transferred the remains of their dead
to the keeping of the catacombs. These
are now under the care of a regular corps
of workmen, who attend to the arrange¬
ment of the bones, keep the galleries in
order, and arc constantly on the watch
against subsidences of earth, which would
otherwise be of frequent occurrence. The
galleries have been carefully surveyed and
their course compared with that of tho
subjacent thoroughfares. frequent Indicating intervals,

whip should be used principally as sig

Failures In the Country During the Last
Three Months.
Mercantile failures for three mouths
ending with Thursday, as reported by
R. G. Dunn & Co., are 8,007 in number,
against 3,208 for the same quarter of
1886. Liabilities for the first quarter of
the present year are $32,161,000, against
$29,681,000 for the corresponding quar¬
ter of 1886. The geographical distribu¬
tion of failures is somewhat unusual, the
liabilities in the middle states amounting
to $12,000,000, compared showing an increase of
$6,000,000 as with 1886, and
in New York city the liabilities for the
first three months of 1887 were $5,000,
000 as compared with $2,900,000 in the
corresponding quarter of lost year. In
all other sections of the country, except
the middle states, the failures are much
less in number and amount than the
average for the first quarter, and the to¬
tal result is much less than previous
years. In Canada the failures for the
first quarter of 1887 are 393 in number as
against 389 for the corresponding quar¬
ter of last year. Liabilities for the quar¬
ter just closed are $3,602,000 as com¬

Richard Penis tan has just been ad¬
mitted to the Forrest Home,in Philadel¬
phia. He has was become a rich man a few yean
ago, but almost a beggar".
He and his wife were of English birth.
They were members of the stock com¬
pany of the Arch Street Theatre, and
played ley and important Drew became parts the before lessees, Wheat- about
1852. Mrs Penistan, who died long
ago, was also a playwright, and several
of her plays were represented on the
American stage. Soon after the dissolu¬
tion of the old Arch street company Mr.
Penistan opened a drinking place. He
had a large patronage, and in the course
of time accumulated a good deal of
money. In 1873 the official announce
ment of the drawing of the Royal Ha¬
vana Lottery informed him that his $100
ticket had drawn $500,000. At this
time he was the owner of sixty two
horses, many of them friend* very valuable. In
company wi h his Whitney, the
brewer, Mr. Penistan at once went to
New York and placed the ticket for
collection with August Be inont, receiv¬
ing in cash, after some delay and litiga¬
tion with Mr. Whitney, who claimed a
share of the pnze, which was, however,
disallowed by the courts, $420,000.
Penistan Upon returning sold his to place Philadelphia, Chestnnt Mr.
on
street, with a portion of the stock, for
$54,000. In all he had undoubtedly at
least $500,000. He was a genial man
and had many friends, some of them
true ones, who advised him to put half,
it not more, of his money in a trust fund.
Instead of this he began operations on
Third street. Inside of t*»o years he
had dropped there from $150,050 to
$300,000. His dealing in horses, too,
went on all the while, and he lost heav¬
ily on a stud farm near Lexington Ky.
He was, besides this, badly defrauded
by the agents who ran or trotted his
horses in races, and his blooded colts
when so d at auction, although well ad¬
vertised and of irreproachable pedigree,
went for a so g, buyers combining not
to bid agaiast each other, and dividing
up the poorly paid for stock afterward,
In fact, he was remorselessly skinned by
horsemen, and in less than six years was
reduced to a bare living upon the in¬
come of some few investments he had
made in his wealthy days. This finally
was exhausted and for some years past
he has been indebted to the kindness of
friends for his subsistence.
He, however, bred some noted horses,
one of which, Grafton, a trotter, with a
record of 2:15, was sold to Robert Bon¬
ner for $15,000. Mr. I onner also bought
his Lady Stewart, with a record of 2:28,
the fastest time up to then that a three
year old had ever made.
In his prosperouo days, too, he oc¬
casionally appeared upon the stage in
heavy tragedy, hiring the house him¬
self and and playing without with a good deal of
spirit, not home in approval, and he
now finds a the pleasant retreat
endowed by the great actor, of whom
he was a most fervent admirer. All his
friends believe that if Richard Penistan
had not drawn that lottery prizs he
would to day be a wealthy man.
'Ihe Naked Truth Revealed.
The New York World, in speaking of
the benefits to be derived from advertis¬
ing in a home paper, says:
“Many a dealer who places a $100 ad¬
vertisement in his village paper be¬
grudges his investment, wnen it is worth
to him double what he pays for it. Ad¬
vertising rates of the city newspaper
would astonish such business men. One
column in the Chicago Tribune costs the
advertiser $20,000 per annum. The New
York Herald receives for its lowest price
$36,563, and for its highest price $62,-
980. The New York Tribune for its
lowest $20,954, and for the highest $84,-
648, and these papers, it is stated, never
lack for advertisements to fill their col¬
umns,' and still there are lots of people
who wonder why a country subscribers newspaper
cannot be furnished to as low
as the great dailies are sold for.
Doubtful.—A man in Middleton told
his wife he “loved her better than his
own soul.” The mail has not been to
church in five years, and his wife does
not know how to take the compliment.
