FARM AND HOUSEHOLD From the Enquiry Department South ern Cultivator. 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. A - j : ■ • h 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. From the New York Suu. 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.” SATURDAY NIGHT. IMMENSELY POPULAR! The Leading Family Paper in the United State. be “Say,” said the bibulous individ- viduai. “Do you know the new ideas I’ve got on tumblers ?” No ? Well, I’m going to have one made for me, with a mirror in the bottom of it, so I can see where the drink goes to.” 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.

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.
