Bone Manure.
POWDER
Absolutely Pure.
This powder never varlefl. A marvel of
purity, strength and wholesomenosa. More
economical than the ordinary kinds, and
cannot be sold In competition with the
multitude of low teste, short weight, alum
or phosphate powders. Sold only in cans.

This is a good receipt. Heat up a
good quantity of charcoal and put it
iu a trough where hogs are fed. Mix
one tableapoonfui of spirits of turpen
tine, to every gallon of slop, and pour
into the trough on (lie charcoal.
Apples.
It is much better to have two or
three good kinds of apples than a
large variety in an orchard, if intend
ed for family use. Make a selection
of the finest early variety, others that
ripen some later, and others for fall
nse. A few trees, of each kind prop
erly attended to, with other fruits,
peach, pear, c,herries &c., will amply
supply an ordinary sized family. The
advantage in having a moderate sized
orchard consists in one’s ability to
cultivate and mature them better.
Large orchards, for want of proper
attention, yield poor fruit and soon
become comparatively worthless.

Every farmer and gardener should
try to save tlieirown seeds where they
can and not have them mixed. Such
a practice leads to painstaking, and
tiie outgrowtli of this is better crops.
It tends to slackness where a man de
pends altogether on buying his seed.
A farmer should do his work so well
and care for his crops so that they
will make good seed. We know a
man who has planted the same kind
of corn for over sixty years. He says
he never has a poor crop of corn. The
secret lies m the fact that he takes
pains with his corn, and by a careful
selection of the earliest ears he made
it fully ten days earlier. There is not
so much virtue in the changing of
seed as many suppose. It is a fool
ish notion to depend upon for a crop;
and one trouble with those who do
such tilings is, that they depend on
this sort of magic, instead of good cul
ture and good land. It is a better
plan to try to perfect your own, which
you have found out is suited to your
climate and soil. The little germ cun
not make up for poor soil and tillage.

“Frailty thy Name is Woman.’’
—Hamlet,
That slm is frail, often in body,
•”Tis true, 'tis true’tis a pity,
And pity ’tis, ’tis true.”
Dr. Pierce’s “Favorite Prescription”
is the best restorative tonic for physi
cal frailty in women, or female weak
nesses or derangements. By drug
gists. Price reduced to one dollar.
There is no economy in using
old wagons on the farm. If the
money spent in repairs were reck
oned at the end of the year it would
make l>ig interest on the cost of a
new wagon, besides loss of time,
of temper and often waste of
crops. It is poor policy to pay
$10 to $20 in patching up an old
wagon, vhen a nexv one can Vie
bought for $50 to $80. When
the new wagon is purchased it
should be kept xvell painted and
under cover, else it xvill soon be
an old one. Exposure to the ele
ments injures xvagons more tlmu
active use.
We ought not to be too anxious to
encourage untried iuovations, in cases
of doubtful improvement. For a
quarter of a century Dr. Sage’s Ca
tarrh Remedy has been before the
public and passed through the sex'erj
est test and is pronounced the most
reliable remedy for that disagreeable
malady. Thousands of testimonials of
its virtues. 50 cents per bottle. By
druggists.
A Lasting Hate Post, llow can
a gate post be set so that it will never
rot? The Farm Journal answers:
Fill up the hole around the post with
gravel and small stones and then run
ju this, cement mortar. The Rural
New Yorker does not care whether
the hole is filled with gravel, sand or
soil. It says pack it firmly and fill in
at tlie top with lime, heaping it some
aches uparouud the post.
Considering the recognized value of
bones as a fertilizer and the ease and
small cost at xvliicli they can lie con
verted into manure, it is astonishing
why farmers everywhere donothtil
ize'them for the many purpose* lor
whicii they are especially adapted.
They are easily prepared and can be
applied to land in a variety of ways,
producing the most gratifying results.
Formerly they were simply crushed
and spread upon the land, or mixed
with Iresh wood ashes, moistened^ by
whicii they became reduced and
ready for use; but the mode of decom
posing now most extensively practised
is by steaming, which renders them
more brittle, the steaming having the
effect of taking out the fat, and, if
long continued, some of the gelatine.
Tlie gelatine contains the nitrogen of
the bones, tlie most valuable portion
of fertilizing matter. Dry bones con
tain 45 per cent, of organic matter,
which lias very nearly tlie composi
tion of wool, hair and horn, and is
ricli in nitrogen; the fifty-fifth per
cent, remaining consists of phosphate
of lime with a little magnesia, soda
and potash. The liquid from the
steamed bones forms a highly valua
ble fertilizer, “and the steamed bones
decay sooner in the soil, and conse
quently produce a more active effect
than fresii hones. The small loss re
sulting from moderate steaming is
more than balanced by tlie bone
whicii is treated with sulphuric acid,
and is thus made into superphosphate
of lime, in this condition tlie phos
phoric acid of the bone is soluble, and
tlie effect is immediate, while that of
tlie ground bone is more lasting. Su
perphosphate is made as follows:
The ground bone is put intoa wooden
or leaden vat, nnd is thoroughly
wetted; sulphuric acid (oil of vitriol) is
then poured on at the rate of 120
pounds to 480 pounds of bone. The
mixture foams up, and tlie bone is
changed in character; the phosphoric
acid is released, and tlie lime of tlie
bones unites with the sulphuric acid
and makes sulphate of lime or plaster.
The hone is then in a pasty condition
and is dried by mixing dry wood ashes
or plaster with it. It is then what is
called dissolved bone. A ton of dry-
bone will makeubout 2,500 pounds of
superphosphate.
Hones seem peculiarly grateful food
to fruit trees. Barry remarks that
“in taking up trees from soil where
bones have been used as manure, we
find every particle within reach of tlie
roots completely enveloped is masses
of fibre.” lloare, in liisJ.reati.se on the
grape vine, states tbat"“a large bone,
which was dug out of a vine border,
was cox-ered with a net-work of fibres,
inside and out, and the roots, instead
of passing into tlie soil beyond when
they reached tlie end of the bone, had
turned over the edge and passed in
side."
Lind ley says that superphosphate
oflime “greatly facilitatestlieemission
of roots by newly transplanted tiees.”
(Hear bone dust is an excellent ma
nure, and nothing is needed with it
to make a perfect fertilizer but a mix
ture of potash—either Herman potash
salts or wood ashes. Let no hones be
allowed to go to waste on tlie farm,
but all of them carefully preserved
and made into manure.—lshmaelite.
CIDER FOR FAMILY USE.
Courier-Journal.
Maysville, Ky.—Cider should be
stored in a cool place, and should not
be drank before it is sufficiently ma
tured. To improve the iluvor of a
barrel of cider, one and a half gallons
of good proof whiskey are added, with
two ounces powdered catechu dissol
ved in water, 8 pounds of good sugar
or honey, one-half ounce eacli bitter
almonds and cloves, and four ounces
of mustard seed. These must bestirred
in, and occasionally stirred up for a
fortnight, after which it must be al
lowed to repose for three mouths or
more, when it will be as bright as wine.
This cider should be allowed to fer
ment and cleanse itself,filtered in sand
and charcoal until it is clean, or it
will not keep. As you will want to
use without bottling you can use it af-
ter one month’s repose. I would make
it in a wisky barrel that had just been
emptied by some retailer. That will
give the more strength to tlie cider. I
have it three years old, seven years
old and thirteen years old.

Mr. J. A. Price Deputy- Inspector

Baltimore, Md., says:—One of my
children hud been suffering witli neu
ralgia for some time. A friend rec
ommended Salvation Oil, I procured
a bottle ami a few applications, to
my surprise, effected a complete cure.
I take pleasure in recommending it
to all persons similarly affected.
Chickens Fried in Batter.—
Make a batter of two eggs, a teacup-
fill of milk and a little salt and thick
ened with flour. Have the chicken
cut up, washed and seasoned; dip the
pieces separately in tlie batter and
fry them in hot lard, xvlien brown on
both sides take them up and make a
gravy as for fried chickens. Lard
fries much bettor than butter which
is apt to burn.
Get small trees from* the nur
series—at least moderate-sized
ones. They cost less, the freight
is less, labor of planting is less,
and they xvill most likely he less
injured by transplanting.
Don't Experiment.
You cannot afford to waste time In ex
perimenting when your lungs me in (lun
ger. Consumption always seems, at first,
only a cold. Do not permit any dealer to
impose upon you with some cheap imita
tion of Dr. King’s Nexv Discovery for Oon-
sumption.Coughs and Colds, but bo sure
you get the genuine, because he can
muke more profit ho may tell you ho has
something just as good, or just tho same.
Don’t be deceived, but insist upon getting
Dr. King’s New Discovery, which is guar
anteed to give relief in all Throat, Lung
and Chest affections. Trial bottles free at
