PHOSPHATE
Facts About an Important Agri¬
cultural Product.
How Coral Insects Aid In the
Formation of Phosphates.
jlov. T. W. Moore, a recognized au
.lior.ty on the formation of minerals,
writes as follows for tho Fcruandina
(Fla.) Mirror:
For many years 1 have not been sat¬
isfied with the theories given in booki
ns to the origin of phosphnto rocks.
Those theories do not account for all
the facts, and especially for tho facts
of quantity and masses. I will not
discuss the theories given in the books,
but stale the threo causes of phosphate
formation in Florida.
There arc three uistlnct formations
of phosphate deposit in the State. The
first I shall mention is the deposit of
eoprolites or the deposit from animals
which live on flesh. These are richest
in phosphorus. The second formation
1 have reached is occasioned by the
absorption of phosphoric acid from
decaying animals and vegetable matter.
Where this formation has been found
C’c strata are thin. Both this and the
former class are limited. Accepted
authorities account for both of these.
The third formation is much more
general and in immense quantity in
the State. It is of ttiis I would write
especially.
The lK-ilrork on which rests the pe-
ninsula of Florida has, 6incc what is
known by geologists as the Vicks¬
burg upheaval, been slowly rising
from the bed of the ocean. As this
bedrock came lo within 300 feet of
the surface of the water the coral in¬
sects began to build. Through their
labors a series of coral reefs have been
constructed extending from south
Georgia to the most southern key off
our coast. Fnnd and drift filled up
the intervals between these keys. By
this means a dam lias been thrown
across what was once the channel of
the gulf stream. The eoral rocks arc
porous and hence allowed the water
from the gulf of Mexico in seeking
its outlet eastward to filter through.
As the lime gave up its carbon in com¬
bination with oxygen it took up the
phosphorus, with which the water of
the gulf is so heavily charged, and so
formed phosphate of lime, or what is
known commonly as the whito phos¬
phate.
Three things have to be taken into
this account: 1. The coral and shell
had to have time to decompose, or
give up the carbon, before they could
take on the phosphorous; hence but
little phosphorous is likely to be found
in tho younger reefs. 2. Tho pres-
sure against the sido of tho peninsula
must be immense, as the gulf stream
flows at the rate of front four to six
miles per hour. 3. The waters of
the gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean
sea contain more phosphorous than
any water 1 have ever sailed over.
Night after night 1 have sat on decks
of steamers to note the tracks of light
made by their passogo through the
water.
The eoral reef is a most beneficent
arrangement of Providence, as it not
only constitutes the foundation of
islauds and continents, but arranges a
system of filters which purify tho
waters and collect for man’s uso a
most important agricultural product.
But for their work the seas could not
be inhabited by the fish. A most re¬
markable fact about Ih so minute in¬
sects is that they build only in swiftly
moving waters, and so render their
structure when abandoned by them
the more effective as a lilteivr.
The quantity of phosphates found
in Florida will modify the price of
them throughout tho world, reduce
the cost of fertilizers in our own
State, bring millions of capital here,
and give employment to thousands.
Faint ing Brooklyn Bridge.
The girders and suspenders of the
Brooklyn Bridge are being painted for
the second time since I lie completion ol
the structure. This dangerous work
is done for the most part by men who
have had some experience in the rig¬
ging of a ship. Thousands of persons
who daily walk over the promenade
fail to notice the painter swinging in
his boatswain’s chair 200 feet from
the water, with his pot of paint swing¬
ing back and forth in the stiff oreeze
from tlie ocean. The painter first re¬
moves the old paint with a small steel
chisel, and then renews it from his
l>ot- AVhat the painters most regret is
the wear and tear of overalls upon the
rough wires. AVIicn the bridge was
painted several years ago two men fell
from tlie suspenders, one upon the
roadway, fracturing three ribs, and the
other into the water, from which he
was rescued frightened but unhurt._

HOW TO TREAT A COl.T.
When you have taught a colt to
let you mount and lend him, take
him out into tho yard and let him
stand still or walk, ns he pleases. In
starting him don't send him off with
n rush, but pull him gently to one
sido with a horizontal rein. If he
does not guide, you have mounted
him too soon. If ho walks quietly,
get off his hack and lend him a mile
away from home, and then remount
him and ride him home at a walking
pace. l)o not at first attempt to ride
him away from his home, as it will
inevitably lead to a tight.— [Commer¬
cial Advertiser.
IMPOUTANT POINTS IN EGG PIIODITTION.
AVith careful management there is
none of our small industries that is
more profitable than raising eggs for
our city markets. AYlicn eggs alone
are desired the fowls selected should
be Leghorns, white-faced black Span¬
ish, Minorcas or other laying breed ~ .
Avoid the common mistake of giving
too much stimulating food. Bear in
mind the elements that enter into the
composition of an egg and feed ac¬
cordingly. Oats, wheat and barley
are all good for eggs, with just enough
corn to supply a proper degree of
heat. A sudden change from one
kind of grain to another will often
stop hens from laying for a short time,
as will sudden change of any feed.
AVhole corn, being hard to digest,
should he given very sparingly to lay¬
ing pullets. Supplement the food of
laying hens with an occasional relish
of ground bone, chopped meat and
charcoal.—[New York World.
ItEl’AIKIN'G ROADS ON I1II.I.V LAND.
Hoads may be repaired at any lime,
except when they are saturated with
water. Drains, either on (he surface
or under it, aro a most effective means
of repair. In hilly localities broken
stone is most useful for making re¬
pairs. AVfttcrbnrs made of broken
stone will bo permanent, as they will
not be cut through and channels thus
made to wash out and dam go the
work. Culverts paved with broken
stone arc not washed out, and slay
where they are put. The most effec¬
tive way to use tho stone is to lay
large pieces where they arc to stay and
break them there with an eight-pound
steel hammer. This pounds the rock
together and makes it very solid and
firm. A mud-sill of a large saw-mill,
set on a foundation of rock thus
broken, on very soft ground, lias not
moved or sunk perceptibly to a level
during two years; and for founda¬
tions of this kind there is no better
material than this.—[American Agri¬
culturist.
SHIPPING EGGS.
This season has been a very busy
one in the egg business, farmers and
breeders shipping eggs in large mnn-
bers to customers for hatching.
The packing of eggs lias consider¬
able to do with tlie hatching on ar-
rival at destination. Of course fresh¬
ness is also very important, and a
good, close sitter as well. Baskets
square or round made of either chip
or willow are considered the best; (lie
former are much tho cheaper and con-
sequently more largely used. They
are of different sizes to hold from one
to six dozen; more than this number
are usually sent in an egg crate.
The tilling of tho basket should be
soft material; bran or fine chaff arc
both good and largely used. The
eggs arc wrapped in tissue paper and
placed in rows with a space between
each egg, and this spacefilled with the
chaff or bran and packed tightly. A
layer of bran is covered over the first
layer of eggs, and another lot of eggs
put in as the first was. Care should
be taken to securely pack each egg so
that none a e broken in transit. Eggs
will carry anv distance if packed in
this way.—[Farm, Field and Stock¬
man.
maxims for milkers.
After you have brushed the udder
;lean milk tlie cow as fast as you can
and milk her clean to the last drop.
If more than one milker is employed
do not converse. You or lie will have
to stop and ask, “AVhat do you say?’’
If you are musica ly inclined you
may hum in a low tone. The cow will
like it and commence ruminating.
Never drive milk cows or fattening
stock faster than a walk.
Acu have no need of a dog in
bringing the catt'e homo from past lire.
Do not allow or force milk cows to
drink ice-cold water.
Your cows will certainly fall on in
their milk tin,css housed in a warm
stable during inclement or very cold
weather.
If you desire your cows to do their
best at the pail, give them a change of
food as often as possible.
To sell milk pays better than to make
it into butter and cheese and sell it ns
solids.
If your cow is in heat and has been
served keep her confined away from
the herd.
If you sell milk breed into it Avr-
6hires or Holstcins. If you make
butter for sale breed into the Channel
island eat Jo. Never sell a heifer calf
to the butcher if it is possible for yon
to raise it.
AVIicn treat y used, the curry-comb
and brush are just as needful for milk
cows as they aro for work horses,
Sixty cents will buy a pair ot Tim¬
ber shoes. Buy a pair and wear them
while you are at your stuble cleaning.
Before you enter your dwelling or
milk-room leave the rubbers in on
outhouse. Then tho madam will not
need to hold her nose to avoid taking
in the odors of the barnyard.—Chica¬
go Times.
im>n’t hide a good house to death.
A willing horso should never he
overworked. This good old adage
applies to many things besides horses.
The free-growing vegetable plants of
the garden, which once well set last a
lifetime, as rhubarb and asparagus,
are especially subject to this reason¬
able and safe management. Both of
these plants are now the mainstay of
the housewife eager to set before her
hungry household such healthful and
agreeable food as the early season af¬
fords, and consequently she cuts theso
vegetables as close as she can. But
plants can be overworked as much as
animals can.
The roots are actively at work gath-
ering food and distributing it to every
stem ami leaf. But plants must
breathe as well as feed. The food is
prepared for assimilation and growth
of tissue in a plant by means of air
taken in by the leaves, quite as much
ns in an animal. Plants arc smothered
and suffocated for want of air, by
overcrowding by other plants which
obstruct the air currents, and by tho
removal of the breathing organs, the
leaves, just as much as animals aro
when they are crowded too closely or
their nostrils are closed.
So that if asparagus or rhubarb is
cut too closely, the whole plant is
weakened and its growth is arrested.
Consequently in cutting these plants
care is to be taken to leave enough
stalks to support the plant and permit
the necessary root growth for future
bearing. If the plantation is not
large enough more plants should be
procured. The free growth, however,
permits frequent cutting if two or
threo stalks are left.—[New York
Times.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Thorough tillage tells in a dry time.
If you are through planting, go to
harrowing at once.
A fast walker on tho farm is more
profitable than a trotter.
Mulching with straw is a good plan
in growing late potatoes.
If a dry spell coincs on, keep tho
cultivator gnng all the more.
Did you ever know of any one who
cultivated any crop too much?
Make the yield as good as possible,
this reduces the cost of production.
There is no better fertilizer on the
farm than sheep and plenty of clover.
For about six weeks in the Fall
pumpkins make as cheap milk as any
teed used.
Are you feeding grain to your cows,
or are they living on what slough
grass they can pick?
The growing calves will enjoy a
drink of water these hot days, though
they do have milk night and morning.
If the cows are poorer since going
upon grass than before you may rest
assured there is something wrong with
them or their feed.
llot AVliter to Relieve Thirst.
It is a mistake to suppose that cold
drinks are necessary to relieve thirst.
Very cold drinks, as a rule, increase
the feverish condition of the mouth
and stomach, and so create thirst.
Experience shows it (o be a fact that
hot drinks relieve the thirst and “cool
off” tlie body when it is in an abnor¬
mally heated condition better than ice-
cold drinks. It is far better and safer
to avoid tho, free use of drinks below
00 degrees; m fact a higher lempera-
ture is to be preferred; and those who
are much troubled with thirst will do
well to try the advantages to be de¬
rived from hot drinks, instead of cold
fluids to which they have been accus¬
tomed. Hot drinks also have the ad¬
vantage of aiding digestion, instead of
causing debility of the stomach anc
bowels.
Canary Rearing Industry.
Germany carries on a large trade in
the export of canaries. Every year
she sends no fewer than 130,000 of
these birds to America, 3000 to Eng¬
land and about 2000 to Russia. The
great nursery for the breeding of
canaries is the Havtz Mountains. Many
of the peasants arc engaged in the
work of rearing the birds, and receive
wages of from $50 to $125 a year for
their trouble, an impo tant addition to
their earnings. Many canaries come
also from the Black Forest, but they
do not fetch such high pi ices as the
Hartz birds, not being considered such
good songsters.
Largest Cistern in the AVorld.
The largest cistern in tho world
is under tho machine shop at the
Charlestown (Mass.) Navy Yard. It
is 100 feet in diameter, with a depth
of forty feet. It was built in 185S by
Master Laborer Oiis Little, and sup¬
plied water to the great machine plant.
The cistern was fed from a number of
wells on the higher land near Chelsea
street, by means of underground aque¬
ducts. More than 850,000 bricks wero
used in its construction. This mam¬
moth well has not. been utilized since

used in theso “sacred” thumb-nail

How to Make Beef a La Mode.
Six or eight pounds of the round of
beef, half a pound of fat salt pork, three
tablcspoonfuls half of turnip, butter, two onions, tablepsoon- half
n carrot, a two
fuls of vinegar, one heaping tablespoon¬
ful of salt, half a teaspoonful of pepper,
two cloves, six ailsp ce, a bit of stick
cinnamon, a bouquet of sweet herbs, or
a teaspoonful marjoram, each of dried tablcspoonfuls thyme and
sweet four of
flour and two quarts of boiling water.
Cut the pork in thick strips as long as the
beef is thick, and draw them through it
at regular intervals with a larding needle,
or the holes can be made with a steel or a
boning knife and the slips of pork pushed
butter in. Chop in the vegetables and line; melt them the
it, letiing a large saucepan add to
them cool for five minutes;
dredge the meat with the flour and brown
thoroughly on both sides. Tuke it out,
add one quart of the Water and let it boil
a minute, stirring s’eadiiy. Then put
back the meat, add the other quart with
all the remaining seasoning; cover close¬
ly, and simmer gently for four or even
five hours. Then tuke up. Draw the
saucepan forward; skim off all the fat
from the gravy, and boil it rapidly for ten
or fifteen minutes in order to reduce it.
For a pint of gravy allow oue table¬
spoonful of browned flour, though many
prefer lemon is it unthickened. The juice of a

two plates, and press

Amount of Gold in the World.
An English writer says that “the quan¬
tity of gold in the world is not nearly so
large ns it is commonly supposed to be.
If it could all be collected in one spot, it
would form a pile only 2.3 feet high, 45
feet long, and 25 feet wide. The reason
for the smallness of the space which the
world’s stock of gold would fill is to a
great extent accounted for by the density
of the metal. A cubic foot of it weighs
more than twelve hundred pounds.” In
view of the great discoveries of gold
during the last fifty years, this appears to
ba a remarkable statement; one that
should attract the attention and investi¬
gation of the leading scientists.
