MANURE FOR COTTON.
1. Will the following be a good
fertilizer for cotton applying quan
tity named ?
200 pounds acid phosphate;
100 pounds cotton seed meal;
100 pounds kainit.
2. Would the meal and acid phos
phate do as well without the kain-
it ?—\V. W.P., Snow Hill Louisi
ana.
Answer.—1. Yes; very good for
medium quality of land. For very
poor land the meal might be dou
bled to advantage; and, on light,
sandy soil, the same can be said of
the kainit.
2. We think not. Kainit has been
found a useful ingredient in ma
nures for cotton; and, as it is not a
very costly substance, one had bet
ter hold fast to that which is good.
Manure is the cheapest thing used
on a farm.
Tor DRESSING AND HARROWING
OATS.
1. Will it pay to top dress oats
With phosphate, oats manured at
planting, some with two or three
hundred pounds cotton seed meal,
some with twenty or thirty bushels,
green seed ?
2. If profitable how much, and
When, should it be applied?
8. Should oats lie harrowed after
application ?—“Subscriber,” Glenn-
ville, Ala.
Answer.—1. If the land upon
Which the oats are sown has been
manured continiously for some
years with liberal ap
plications of phosphates, there
may be enough of this substance in
the soil to meet the demand of the
crop. If not, and the plants' come
through the winter safely with a
good stand, a dressing of phosphate
ought to pay well. The peculiar
Work of the phosphates is in the
production of seed; they may not
improve the appearance of the crop
very much, but are very apt to as
sert themselves when the thresher
, does its work.
2, One or two hundred pounds
may be applied, the richer the land
the larger the application. If 200
pounds are to be applied, broadcast
100 pounds early in March and the
remainder early in April. The
time varies in different localities,
just as a good vigorous spring
growth of the oats sets in is the
best time to apply.
3. Harrowing subserves a good
purpose; on rolling land especially
it counteracts the washing off of
the phosphate by heavy rains.
Salt for the Throat.
For many years past, indeed we
may say during the whole of a life
or more than forty years, says the
editor of the Household, we have
been subject to a dry, hacking cough
Which is not only distressing to our-
, self, but to our friends and those
with whom we are brought into bu
siness contact.
Last fall we were induced to try
What virtue there was in common
salt. We commenced by using it
three times a day, morning, noon
and night. "We dissolved a large
tablespoonful of salt in about a half
a tumblerful of water. With this
we gargled the throat most thor-
ougly just before meal time. The
result was that during the entire
winter we were not only free from
coughs and cold, but the dry, hack
ing cough had entirely dissappear-
ed.
We attribute these satisfactory
results solely to the use of salt gar
gle and most cordially recommend
a trial of it to those who are subject
to diseases of the throat. Many
persons who have not tried the salt
gargle have the impression that it
is unpleasant, but after a few days’
use.no person who loves a nice clean
mouth and first rate sharpener of
the appetite, will abandon it.

Coffee is too good a thing to be
spoiled in the making, and every
housekeeper should learn the best
way of preparing this invigorating
and delightful beverage. Coffee
should be roasted every day, and
ground when required for use.
Care must be taken not to over-roast
the coffee, as too much roasting
destroys the coffeine, and diffuses
the aroma through the atmosphere
when it should remain in the berry.
The great secret of roasting coffee
is to secure a light brown color,
and a crisp condition of the grain
Never boil the coffee, even for $
minute. Take it off just as the
boiling point is readied and
filter before using. Thus prepared
coffee is a valuable brain stimulant
and an aid to digestion. It cannot
be replaced by the adulterated
article or by any substitute, but
stands alone. A heaping table
spoonful of ground coffee will be
found sufficient for each cup to
made.—Atlanta Constitution.

f Teaching Animals to Converse.
Sir John Lubbock, the disting
uished anthopologist and naturalist,
sends to the London Nature a brief
discussion of a subject which is full
of interest and always peculiarly
fascinating.
From the earliest times the
speaking of birds and beasts has
been the subject of fable, and every
lover of a dog or ahorse has mourn
ed that only in fable was there
speech between man and the brute.
Sir John Lubbock, however, ser
iously considers the possibility of
teaching animals to converse with
man. “It has occurred to me,” he
says, “whether some such system
as that followed with deaf mutes,
especially by Dr. Howes with
Laura Bridgman, might not prove
very instructive if adapted to the
case of dogs.”
Accordingly he has tried experi
ments with his dog. He printed in
legible letters on pieces of stout
cardboard such words as “food”,
“bone,” “out.” The dog was a black
poodle, a breed which, by the way,
is generally known to be quick at
learning tricks; and Sir John
Lubbock got the head master of a
deaf and dumb school to assist at
tlie^ experiment. They began by
giving the dog food in a saucer, over
which was laid the card on which
was the word “food,” and beside
which was placed an empty saucer
covered by a plain card.
“Van,” the poodle, soon learned
to distinguish between the* two.
Afterward he has taught to bring
the card which expressed his wants.
“This he now does,” says John Lub
bock, “and hands it to me quite pret
tily, and I then give him a bone or
a little food, or take him out, ac
cording to the card brought. He
still brings sometimes a plain card,
in which case I point out h is eror
and he then takes it back and
changes it.” That mistake, how
ever, is not often made by Van.
He has learned to distinguish be
tween the card with the word and
the blank card, no matter how often
their relative positions are chang
ed.
This is only the beginning of the
very interesting experiments Sir
John Lubbock proposes to make.
He means to multiply the cards so
that the dog may be enabled to
communicate freely with him. He
also expresses the wish that other
owners of dogs which have display-
edjespecial intelligence and docility
would conduct similar experiments
so that the results may be collated
and compared. “I confess,” he con
cludes, “I hope that some positive
results might follow, which would
enable us to obtain a more correct
insight into the minds of animals
than we have yet acquired.”
Yll those who are familiar with
dogs and who enjoy their frequent
companionship, will both acknowl
edge that Sir John Lubbock has
reason for his hope, and trust with
him that the results secured will
enable him to explore hitherto se
cret chambers of the canine intel
lect.
An infant is taught to communi
cate its desires in speech only after
the expenditure of infinite pains
and unwearying patience on the
part of the mother. It is a very
slow process, and the teaching goes
on during nearly the whole of the
child’s waking hours. The lessons,
too, are object lessons. In the case
of the deaf and dumb and blind,
the most marvellous results are at
tained by the patient teacher.
If the care and pains are spent in
the way indicated by Sir John Lub
bock, lqay we not also expect to
reach results whicn will be surpris
ing and of inestimable value in the
investigation of animal intelligence
and the mental processes of brutes ?
Dogs have been taught by circus
men [to do . a great variety of
things which show the*reasonig ca
pacity of the animals: and the sto
ries of canine intelligence and can
ine susceptibilities are innumera
ble and wonderful. But we do not
know of any previous attempt to
pursue this subject after a scientific
method, and for the specific scien
tific purpose this distinguished nat
uralist has in view.
At any rate, there is not a more
fascinating inquiry than that upon
which Sir John Lubbock has enter
ed; and it is far from absurd to
hope, as a flippant writer in the
New York Times lately implied
light whatever, work for hours
putting togatlier buggy and wagon
wheels, or any part pertaining to
either, with as much accuracy as
if he had two iyes. He has a farm
which lie superintends himself, and
one of the most successful farmers
in the county, as very few have
made more clear money farming
since the war tliae he has. If any
one doubts thes facts I can refer
them to hundreds of witnesses in
Walton and Oconee counties.”

viduai. “Do you know the new
ideas I’ve got on tumblers ?” No ?
Well, I’m going to have one made

The hold which this beautifully illus
trated weekly retains upon the people's
confidence seems astonishing, but it is
due entirely to the real worth of its va
ried contents. The value of its stories is
not measured by the enormous sum of
money they cost, but by the eagerness of
the people to read them. It takes

NEW YORK, 1884.
About sixty million copies of The Suu
have • gone out of our establishment
during the past twelve months.
If you were to paste end to end all the
columns of all The Suns printed and sold
last year you would get a continuous
strip of interrestiuginformation, common
sense, wisdom, sound doctrine, and sane
wit long enough to reach from Printing
House square to the top of Mount Cop
ernicus iu the moon, then back, to Print
ing House square, and then three-quarters
of the way back to the moon again.
But The Sun is written for the inhabit
ants of the earth; this same strip of in
telligence would girdle the globe
twenty-seven or twenty-eight times.
If every buyer of a copy of The Sun
during the past year has spent only one
hour over it, and if liis wife or his grand
father has spent another hour, this news
paper in.1883 lias afforded the human
race thirteen thousand years of steady
reading, night and day.
It is only by little calculations like
these that j r ou can form any idea of the
circulation of the most popular of Ameri
can newspapers, or of its influenceon the
opinions and actions of American men
and women.
The Sun is, and will continue to be, a
newspaper which tells the truth without
fear of consequences, which gets at the
facts no matter how much the process
costs, which presents the news of all the
world without waste of words aud in the
most readable shape, which is working
with all its heart for the cause of honest
govenuent, and which therefore believes
that the Republican party must go, and
go in this coming year of our Lord, 1884.
If you know the Sun. you like it al
