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. — CWtteator. 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. Grape and Canister. Open-air concerts—played out. Kitchen scene—a maid, a can, the fire of kero-sene. Go to the bottom of the well and bore up, and you will know- the end from the beginning. The dog has better sense than the man. | When they both go into the saloon to- I gether, he comes out as rich and as sober as he went in. We have figured out clearly that we | have saved enough by not using tobacco to pay our debts, but we cannot draw the money and don’t know where it is. The anarchists claim the right to take what they need. The most of them need a bath first of all. Lawyers are employed to settle dis putes, or dispute settlements. A plug of tobacco turned aside the bullet aimed to destroy a man’s life. Has tliis fact a moral ? Two things never eaten for supper— breakfast and dinner.
