The Manurial Value of a Well -Fed Mileh
Cow.
The American Dairyman is disposed to
discredit the stetements riled° in eCdne Agri-
enittiral papers an to the value of stable
minute, and reletee an experiment tried by
a farmer who had a field of uniform fertilt
ity and spread over half of it the manure
from his herd a 3o cows which had been
stabled six moths. This euentity of man.
ure represeuted the product of his herd for
that six months, and the crop !rein that
half of the field in excess of the crop from,
the unenanureehalf, showed. that he receiv-
ed $3.30 for the six months 1114114r6 of a
cow, or, if We permit estimates, the manure
of his herd, was worth $6,60 per oow per
year,
This experiment is extremely interesting
and veluable as fee as it goes, but it does
not go far enough to disprove atatements
whieh have been melte about the value of
the manere fel= a herd of dairy, cows.
The markets of the world fix a certain
price per pound upon potash, phosphoric
acid and ammonia. It is easy Joe the
chemist to tell how much of these ingredi-
ents are excreted by a well fed dairy cow
in the course of a year; Consequently, it
ia nothing but a question of niathematics
which any school boy can figure trek, to de-
termine how much money a person would
have to expend to buy in the open market,
the amount of plant food contained in the
manure of a mulch cow during a year. But
whether or not the farmer would get back
that money spentin chemical fertilizers or
ise stable manure, depende upon other and
additional considerattons —upon the season,
the crop, the solubility of the fertilizer, and
the needs of the soil in that pardoular
field.
Thousands of dollars are expended in
chemical fertilizers for which the farmers
do not get their money back at least the
arst thasou, on account ot reasons wl
have nothing to do with the commer
price of the merehandise. It would be as
wise to quote one experiment of that sort
to prove that the market value of a to of
muriate af potaeh is more than the agricul-
tural value, as it is to quote that single ex-
periment to prove the market value of the
chemicals in a yeerti excreta of a cow.
Meetly hile fields must be entrueted witla
an abundance of plant food if we would
have an abundance of forage to produce
an abundance of milk.
0 y as Mack on the way it is eared for
and marketed as upon its successful. produc-
tion. As a rule it does not take the same
amount of care and ingenuity to Produce a
good crop as ib does to care for it and
market it to the best advantage and at the
least cost.
A great many products are injured by
too meth handling; and with the crude
methods used it can hardly be avoided.
What is needed 18 an improvement in meth-
ods. The usual method of handling pots, -
toes, for instance, practised by the majoeity
of producers, is, te pink them up in baskets
and empty them into pits or into the wagon -
bee, when •they have to be handled again by
hand or with a fork or shovel, and either
spend a gcod deal a time in pieking them
up by hand or injure them and start decay
by bruising theni with ahovel or fork. Mr.
T. B. Terry, in his A, 13 0 of Potato Cul-
ture, tells us a better way.
lt'or several years I have been using bushs
er boxes for marketing early potatoe-
while the skins slip, and for handling the
crop in the field all through the season,
This is one of the ways in which the po.
tato speoialist can get ahead of the smell
raiser. I think we handle our crop for less
than half of what it used to cost us before
we gob these boxes made. Ourboxes are 13
inches by 16, and 13 deep, all inside meas-
ures. They were made a little deeper, to
allow for shrinkage. The sides and bet -
toms are made of # stuff, and the ends of #.
Hand -holes are cut in the ends.
The upper corners are bound with gal-
vanized hoop iron to make them strong.
The price paid for them was from$25 to $30
hundred at a box -factory. Some light
wood shonld be used of coursmao as to make
them as light as possible. They need not
weigh more than six or seven pounds. Early
in the season, while the skins slip, our elite
Woes are dug and laid (nob thrown) into
these boxes, and the boxes are covered as
fast ae filled. They are then safe from sun and
rain till warded for market. The covers

ket the next,and set ol ongthe boxes at the

the customer gets them just as nice and

course, these boxes filled with potatoes
should be carried an a spring wagon, and

Waterice Milk.
The universal custom is to cry down the
act of watering milk velthout the slightest
regard to the uses for which the milk is
tended, says a writer iu the Jersey But
tin. Now the fo.ot is, that milk and wa,
do not form an emulsion but soon co
apart if noteonstantly agitated. When the
nether feeds cow's milk to the baby the
first thing the does is to put in a third the
bulk of water; if the milk is Jersey milk
ehe Adds more water and this talk about
Jersey milk being too rich for babies is
knocked higher than a kite. If you intend
to set the milk for cream raising by the
cool process then it is an adviaible plan to
pour the cans a third full of ice water and
the milk on top of that; this chills the
milk and hastens the °reani raising and no
harm is done to the cream. Wheu the
cream is ready for the churn the chances
are that it is too thick for profltable churn-
ing and should be thinned by water, hot
eold as the conditions may require
Here wo see are benefits to be derived
from watering milk and cream. To put
ater in milk that is to be sold for pure
milk is a crime to be punished as severely
as the law will permit.
There is still another way of wateri
milk, to wit : in the cow; some einem it can'
be done by means of their food but certain-
ly it can by selection. To be sold as whole
milk such diluted stuff is as much a fraud
as if the milkman had need the pump handle.

1\fr, Blanc, the well known French (te-
te. plover, writes from Algiers that the explor-
j. Foureau hes just returnedfromtheSalutra,
ter bringing with him the bodies of three iris-
inc sionariek of the congregation of the White
Fathers who in 1381 were massacred by
Tuaregs. They were Fathers Pouplard,
Richard, end Morat. and Fourea.0 found
their bodies where they were killed, about
seven miles west of Rho.dames, Though
then men were killed twelve years ago, their
bodies were in an excellent state of preset'.
vation. They had lost four-fifths of their
weight and had been completely nuimmified
by the dry atmosphere of that region.
The discovery of these bodies and the ar-
ticles belonging to these missionai les found
on the sand near them throws curious light
upon the meteorology of that region. Their
clothing, papers, and other articles were in a
or 1 remarkale state of perservation. A letter
addressed to Pother Pouplard whith had
been lying in the open air for twelveyeere
had in no way deteriorated. The writing
an the envelope was emther defaced nor
altered in the elightest degree. Religious

directly touched the sod. Scientific men
say that in our climate paper abandoned to
the air wel completely disappear in about
two years, being thesolved into the elements
of which it, is composed by the themicaland
other destructive agencies of the Inc and
moisture.
These discoveries prove that atmospheric
humidity in the neighborhood. of Rhadartes
is remarkably feeble. Mr. Blanc says that
in his cipinion the atmospheric humidity of
the Sahara is even less than is supposed, and
in the region where these bodies and papers
were found there is practicallyno precipita-
tion.
It Is the Mau Not Agrioulture.
Young men on tbe farm are eircumstanc-
ed in many respects meth as are the great
majority off the farm. They have a future
and it depends very much upon their own
efforts what it shall be. Many realize this.
and pave the way for a successful career,
by reading and study, by investigation and
obeervation, by a careful analysis of the
means and methods necessarily employed
by others who have got to the top, and by
practical persevering experiment, They
who do not realize that the making of
themselves is measurably in their own
keeping, take things as they come, and
indifferently rather than otherwse, plod
their way very much as a door upon its
hinges, without aim, purpose,, or object.
Work on the farm is hard and unremitting
day in and flay out all the year round, but
so is the daily toil of those in other call-
ings.
Poultry Pointers.
It seems natural for some to have better
success in hs.tching,and. raising chicks than
others, but it is not luck, it is simply a
carefullooking after. details.
Room upon the ground is what fowls
need and height does no good above a
couple of feet, just enough for them to
stand upright and flap their wings.
One always wants doors wide enough in
the hen -house to go in and to any pert
with a wheelbarrow, to take out manure
and to wheel in fresh sand to sprinkle under
the perches and over the floor.
Chickens should not be allowed a chance
to put their feet into their drinking places.
They will drink water which is absolutely
filthy and full of the germs of the disease,
if not carefully prevented from doing so.
As soon as 'chickens are one week old,
cracked corn, wheat and rice make a good
combination and where chickens run at large
nothing more need be added. When con-
fined in small rims fresh cut beef bones
should. be fed two or three times a week.
Those who recommend the swabbing of
the roost with kerosene may not have in
view the fact that this irritates the feet of
the fowls, and may cause lameness. The
proper mode is to have the roost movable,
take it outside of the poultry house, wipe
it with a rag that has been saturated
with kerosene, and apply a lighted match.
This will destroy all lice, and not injure the
roost.
Poultry shows can be n-iade more valuable
by paying more attention to carcasses and
less to feathers , by proving worth with egg
records and other marketable characteris-
tics. The unreasonable standard may take
from the utility paints to add to the show
requirements and then what otherwise
might be e model bird ? in England, prizes
are offered for the " business' hen —why

I was there, you know, through the siege
by the Datchmen, and a very hot time we
had of it for a bit The fellows kept up a
heavy fire on the enclosure we had roughly
fortified, which surrounded a number of
homes. By some blunder or other we had
stores and provisions enough, but there
was a horrible want of water. What wells
there were in the place failed, and the only
way to get water was to fetch it from ono
outside the enclosure. The Dutch occupied
a strong building that commanded this
well, and they were such good shots that
it was certain death to go out to it in day -
ht, and even at night it was very risky
rk, for they kept a heavy musketry fire
that direction. We had made one or
o attempts to capture the house, but it
s so strongly garrisoned that we were
able to do so. We had been tor some
e on short rations of water. It was des-
ately hot, and as the time went on we
ered a good deal. Every night a, few
n would crawl out, and, in spite of the
tch rifles, bring in a bucket or two of
ter; but this did not go far, for we were

Presently a woman came out from one of
the houses and ran across to the rough wall
we were standing on. It was the man's
wife, and she had only just been told the
news. Where is my Will?' she asked.
They tell me he can be seen lying there,.
We pointed to him as he lay in our full
sight, some fifty or sixty yards away. She
stood looking at him for two or three
utes without saying a word. We had all
moved away a little, for her nhite face and
hopelesa eyes were worse to look at than if
she had broken down and cried. 'Can't he
be brought in ?' she asked presently. 'Some
of us would be rea,cly to run the risk, Mrs.
13reevn,' I eaid, 'but the commandant will
not allow it, 41 soon as it is dark he will
be fetched in' r She stood for a while long-
er, and then turned away. Presently we
sew her, to our astonishment, come out
from a house that WAS included in the line
of entrenchment, having a door opening
outside, We shouted to her to turn back,
but she didn't seem to hear us. At any
rate, she walked straight on, with her eyes
fixed on her husband. She had not gone
many yards before the Dutchmen began to
fire. Every man on our wall opened fire at
once, without orders, at the window of the
house they held, hoping to keep down their
fire as much a.,s possible; and it may be that
wcs made it so hot for them that they did
not aim as well as usual. At any rate,
the woman kept straight on till she
reached her husband. We saw her

surprise in store tor her.The lieutenant of
the guard went, in to apprise Marshal Bee

him ready for it. The Marshal was how-

violently shaken by the officer, still snored

Eventually M. Eymard, being utteidy

Queen Isabella of the semi -comatose con-

not contributed to bring about greater
disasters than the disappointment of her

A Russian Watola ,
A. mechanical marvel lately exhibited in
St. Petersburg is a musical watch which
was made by a Russian peasant in the reign
of Catharine. It is about the size of a hen's
egg, and contains a representation of the
tomb of Christ, with the Roman sentinels.
On pressing a spring the stone rolls away
from the tomb, the sentinels fall down, the
angels appear and. the holywomen enter
the sepulchre, and the same chant which is
sung its the Greek Church oh Easter eve, is
actually performed.
. The •discoyery of what is true, and the
practice of what is good; are the two most
important objects of life. •
