Save Your Ashes.
Indiana fannersays: A ton of wood
j, cs contains a larger proportion of
mineral matter than many may suppose,
jjcery 100 pounds of wood ashes contain
a t least seven pounds of pure potash and
thirty-two pounds of lime in the very
I, st possible condition for the soil. It is
deficient in nothing but nitrogen, which
substance is lost during the combustion.
Thire are about two pounds of phospho
ric ashes in wood ashes, in the shape of
.finely powdered phosphate of lime, and
soda is also present, as well as over four
pounds of magnes a. In making this
estimate, I will state that the correctness
of the figures depends partly upon the
kind of wood from which the ashes are
derived, but are as near the exact pro
portions as can be estimated. If I esti
mate for a ton, I find 640 pounds of lime,
110 pounds of potash, 80 pounds mag
nesia, and 40 pounds phosphoric acid,
making the ashes far more valuable than
soiw commercial fertilizers. Corn cobs
contain about 25 per cent of potash, or
500 pounds of potash per ton of ash, and
thei should threfore, be carefully
saved.
Manaring Vines In the Hill.
There is sound reason in the old prac
tice of putting a shovelful of manure in
the hills for melons and cucumbers.
The manure should be finely rotted and
thoroughly mixed with the soil. If left
in a heap it will firefang in a dry season
and do more harm than good. If it is to
be mixed with the soil why not have the
manure distributed through the whole
surface? One reason against this is not
generally appreciated. What we want
on vines is not merely exuberant foliage
but fruit. If length of vine only were
desired, make all the ground a bed of
manure. When the manure is concen
trated in a hill, as soon as vine roots
reach poorer soil outside their growth is
checked and the energies of the vine are
turned to producing fruit. This is one
reason why the best and earliest melons
are grown on sandy soil, which is nearly
always sterile unless recently manured.
In a very dry season lack of moisture
checks the exuberance of the vines, so
that good crops are grown on the richest
land. But with plenty of moisture vines
often grow and grow, without propor
tionate show of fruit, and the better the
soil the greater danger from this evil. —

Improve the Quality of Seed Corn.
A Bulletin from Dr. Sturtevant reports
that trials made with the kiln drying of
seed corn resulted, as similar trials have
previously done, in increasing greatly
its value and certainty for seed purposes.
These trials have also indicated the
greater vigor of the plant which is grown
from the kiln dried seed. Dr. Sturtevant
feels, therefore, justified in advising
farmers to select their seed corn by tak
ing the best ears, and, after shelling it,
to put it in a warm plaoe and allow it to
thoroughly dry before using.
Seed corn when planted too early is of
ten destroyed in the ground. This des
truction does not come from the cold, as
often assumed, but from other condi
tions, the most important of which is the
slow germination of the seed and a vi
tality which cannot endure this circum
stance, and also the action of mould,
which grows rapidly at a lower tempera
ture than will suffice for the corn. It,
therefore, holds good in practice that to
those who plant early and the very best
of seed is of great importance, and what
adds value to this reflection is that early
planted corn will usually yield a larger
crop than will the same variety planted
at a late period.— New York World.
Paris Green for .Codling Worm.
It has now been several years since we
have used Paris green for spraying bear
ing apple trees early in summer for de
stroying the codling worm with marked
success. The last report of the New
dork Experiment Station reports, with
the additional accuracy of counting the
trials made with this poison on several
trees, alternate trees being left unsprayed
to observe the difference. Some thou
sands in all of the apples were counted,
and it was found that on the sprayed
trees the average per cent, of wormy
specimens was thirteen and a half, and
on the unsprayed trees thirty-five per
cent. It appears that only one effective
spraying was given, the first having been
done with an imperfect instrument. The
fruit was about the size of cherries when
the work was performed. We prefer at
least three good sprayings. The ope
ration may have deterred to some extent
the moths from laying their eggs, and,
being used on adjacent trees, may have
driven them from all alike to other
orchards. Whatever may have been the
cause, we have found a much larger pro
portion of wormy specimens in orchards
’here no spraying was given. Spraying
’ith kerosene emulsion did no good. At
the rate saved by the Paris green, one
hundred barrels picked from the sprayed
trees would have given twenty-two bar
rels more of sound fruit than unsprayed
ones.— Country Gentleman.
Preserving Fodder.
Mr. L. T. Hazen, Hazen’s Mills, N. 11.,
informs the Aew England. Farmer that he
has been very successful in putting in and
beeping corn ensilage for his large herd
of dairy stock, some 120 in number, fed
for butter-making. His figures and esti
mates show about 500 tons of green
corn grown last year, 350 of which was
put in the silo, the remainder being fed
in the fall while in the fresh state. '
The total cost of the ensilage put into
the silo and weighed down was a fraction
less than 75 cents per ton. He has fed |
ensilage in connection with dry fodder,
about half of each, the dry fodder being !
half hay and half green oats cured for
hay. For this crop the seed was sown
at the rate of five bushels of oats per
acre, giving a fine soft quality of fodder,
fully equal to ordinary hay. A larger
silo will bu built the present season, the
supply of ensilage having been exhausted
some weeks ago. The relative value of
the ensilage, as compared to dry fodder,
was illustrated by the yield of butter be
fore and after the change was made to
dry feed. The ensilage was exhausted
at the end of a week. Monday and
Wednesday following, five good Jerseys
were added to the herd of fifty-six which
were in milk, but notwithstanding this
increase of the herd, the butter yield
fell off twelve pounds the first week.
While the ensilage lasted, it saved the
feeding of 150 tons of hay, which in Mr.
Hazen’s locality is worth sl2 per ton,
or SI,BOO. He filled his silo slowly, let
the contents acquire a high degree of
heat, and thinks he has as good a quality
of ensilage as he has ever seen. Before
building his silo he bought and read all
the best authorities on ensilage.
Grafting Trees.
statement was recently made In these
columns that the American Pomological
Society since its organization had ruled
out some six hundred varieties of fruit as
being unworthy of a place in the list of
fruits desirable for cultivation. The list
might be reduced still more, but the un
profitable trees would still remain to bear
occasional crops of inferior fruit, unless
tree owners saw fit to abide by the
judgment of the fruit committee, and
improve their trees by regrafting to bet
ter varities. Time and money may be
wasted or foolishly spent in grafting old
trees. It is often better to cut down or
dig out and begin anew on fresh land
and with young trees of .the most desir
able sorts. But there are many young
healthy trees recently come into bearing
■which are not true to the name given
them by the nurserymen or their agents,
and which it may pay to graft over to
better varities. Any thrifty, vigorous
tree that is not too large will pay for
grafting if the present variety is unwor
thy' of cultivation, and the tree is want
ed at all. Our advice is to dig out every
worthless old fruit tree on the
farm or in the garden, and convert
it into fire wood. If allowed to stand
it is sure to make a breeding
ground for injurious insects whose pro- j
geny will prey upon the fruits of better
trees. In these days of harmful insects,
nev<y let a tree stand because it is not ;
thought worth cutting down. It is
worth destroying, if for no other object
than to check the increase of borers, cater
pillars and other creeping and flying
things. Having cleaned out everything
not worthy of keeping, then graft tho
inferior varieties to the best kinds
known.
Grafting is a very simple operation for
any person with mechanical ingenuity
enough to whittle a cider tap that will
fill a smooth, round hole, or who can
sharpen a jack-knife to a good edge.
The tools needed are a fine saw, a strong
knife and hammer for splitting the stock,
a keen-edged knife for shaping the cions,
and some grafting wax for covering the i
cut surfaces to keep out air and water
till the parts have had time to unite and ;
heal over. For wax there is probably
nothing better than that recently recom
mended by Dr. Shurtleff, the formular j
being 4 1-2 pounds white resin, ono
pound pure beeswax and one pint linseed
oil, all to be melted together, and after
cooling in cold water, to be worked to a
uniform consistency.— N. E. Farmer.
Household Hints.
If meat bakes too fast cover with but
tered paper.
Unslacked lime near meat preserves it
by keeping the air dry.
A cup of strong coffee will remove the
odor of onions from the breath.
Ham dries less quickly if it remains in
the water in w’hich it is boiled until
cold.
Parboil old potatoes, putting them on
in their skins in salted boiling water for
ten minutes, and then finish them by ,
baking in a hot oven for ten minutes
more, or until they show mealy when
one is broken apart.
Recipes.
Brealtf.nt Nolle Without Soda— Two
eggs, 1 1-2 cupfuls of sweet milk, a tea
spoonful of salt, and flour enough to
make a thick batter. These must be
baked in an iron gem pan to be a success,
and a quick oven is desirable.
Beef Soup —Take a shank of beef with
plenty of beef upon it, put over in cold
water, and boil five or six hours the day
before using. T.ie next day skim off the
grease, put the jelly in soup kettle, and
one hour before serving add turnips, car
rots, onions, cabbage and potatoes,
chopped fine, in quantity dssired ; a few
tomatoes and a little celery improve it.
Season with salt and pepper, and drop in
a few noodles.
Hens and Humorists.
A certain chord of sympathy exists
between these two species, the ben and the
humorist. Columns of laughable arti- ,
cles have been written by the latter upon
the former’s predilection to produce on a
falling market, and stop the production
when the price of her commodity was go
ing up. But beneath the wit and sar
casm the observing reader will have
noted a strong undercurrent of admira
tion on the part of the humorist for the sa
gacity of the American hen in endeavor
ing to bull or bear tho market as she saw
fit. Then, again, when her attempts at
hatthing out door knobs, fire brick, and
brownstone fronts have been referred to,
there is the same tindertone indicative I
of the writer’s respect for the patience 1
of that hen.
That humorists love hens there is no
doubt. Now there is George Peck, for
example. For years be has devoted the
best of his genius to his Henery. and he
carries his love so far that he will never
taste chicken soup until he has been as
sured that the fowl of which it is com
posed was a member of the masculine per
suasion. Bob Burdette is superstitious
in the matter of hens. To see a pure
white hen, acts like inspiration upon Bob,
and it is said that “The Rise and Fall |
of the Mustache ” was evolved on that ,
day when a white hen strayed into his
kitchen. A jet black rooster is his Ne
mesis, and no power on earth could
make him start on a journey or ascend
the platform the day he has passed one
with its head pointed toward bin). Even ;
rough Bill Nye is the everlasting friend !
of the hen. He owes his start in life to |
a pair of barnyard fowls whom he caught ;
scratching up his garden “ sass.” This I
made Bill mad. Swearing a plaintive |
swear, and seizing his double-barreled
persuader, he got a bead on them; but
ere he fired his educated eye caught the
glimpse of something bright. Approach
ing the spot he discovered that the fowls
had laid bare a soil laden with gold dust.
Now, any one wishing a through ticket |
to eternity by the wild Western humor I
route had better speak disparagingly of
the hen in the presence of Bill Nye. G. I
Whitaker, it is said, saves all the tid-bits I
from his table for a superannuated hen .
which has made her home in his back
yard. Mark Twain points tvith pride to j
the portrait of a hen, now dead, which
he captured in the act of scratching up
the resting-place of seven sleepers. And
I have accidentally overheard that a cer
tain Philapelphia humorist has the call on
his brethern with a pct hen which sleeps
on the headboard of his bed, and will
never go to roost until its master has
come home. We admire while we pity
that hen.
These and many more cases that could ]
be cited, prove the assertion that humor- ]
ists love hens. Now let us see what
there is in common between them. A '
hen is very tender and fresh when first '
hatched. So is the humorist; but they
both become hardened and toughened |
with age and experience. Hens scratch
for their living; where is the humorist i
who has not had to scratch mighty hard,
at that? The hen pecks; the humorist is
very often henpecked. A hen watches
over her brood with a mother's eye. A
humorist with fatherly pride, watches
his young as they are wafted about
through the columns of friendly publi
cations, and.it makes him sad and weary
to see one of his most promising creations
passed off as original by the Grab-all {
Gazette. The hen cackles when she has
laid an egg. The humorist cries out in
ecstasy when he has written an article
which meets with public favor. Hens
lay. Humorists lie. Whoever has read
the writings of Eli Perkins will bear the
writer out in this statement. Finally
hens die unrregetted, and their memory is
shrouded in oblivion. Has not this been
the case in a great many instances with
the humorist?—CAicago Ledger.
