Next to a glance around the horizon
front the deck of a ship in midocean, 1
know no sight SO owe inspiring as (hot
elf Itltssias hinter scenery. \\'e trump-
ed boldly down the Tong avenues of the
park,skirted the wood beyond and came
nut upon the fields, 'there was no
moon and very few stens visible; yet
it was not dark; tho path underfoot
could be clearly read by bending down,
writes Victor E. Marelen in the Lon-
don Evening Standard, but we knew
bolter than to venture far into the il-
limitable unknown.
Looking forward into the while ex-
panse with never a landmark visible as
far as the eye could reach even in day-
time, one could compare his position
only to that of being adrift in a cock -
boat in mldocoan. There is a fascina-
tion of horror about the great stillness,
and it inspired the Prince to suggest
a troyka drive Into the invLsible wastes
around. On fool one risked spending
the night in aimless wanderings to and
fro►; with horses there was always the
instinct of the brute creation to depend
upon and sufficient force in reserve to
conquer something of the powers of
mere space it we really got lost in the
TRACKLESS EXPANSE OF WHITE.
So, on the word, back we hurried
home, an order was given, and out
came In a very brief time the troykas
harnessed and ready. The whole party
ensconced themselves three end four
each in the great sledges, country built,
and nearly all wood, with outrigger
runners that defy an upset, and off we
plu1bpd right across country.
Russian gelds are not enclosed, only
here and there tall stalks of weed are
ieft to mark the divisions between one
rnan'a strip of plough land and his
neighbor's; even these were half buried
under the snow. For an hour or more
we drove to the merry music of the In-
tro bell that hangs on the wooden arch,
the "bow" above the head of the mid
horse of the team -a very compenton-
able Pound in the solemn stillness'
around. One or two !urns, now this way,
new that, out the visitors beyond all
pesatbtllty of oanputing di.stancos and
directions. Whether we were really
kat at length or it was all all admir-
able contrivance to give a new sense•
lion to the uninitiated still remains
matter of doubt.
A bitter wind was blowing and the
prospect of 'doing the best and driving
at hell speed straight ahead until we
struck a village and could either ask
our way or put up (here for the night
did not seem promising. The drivers
NW healed debates about the present
whereabouts, and a lonely peasant wo-
man returning from town forty miles
away gave the usual polite assent to
the question incautiously put to her by
ono of the party.
THE RUSSIAN COMMON PEOPLE
always agree with any proposition put
to thein by their betters; it is their sim-
ple idea of politeness to the gentlefolk.
This took us another five miles in the
wrong direction, and the whole party
way gradually coming to the conclusion
give the horses their heads and let
them take us home, with doubts whe-
ther three horses harnessed abreast
would solve the problem, when we de.
seined a light. end made for it fully be-

quickly covered, to find the whole ad-

SALT FOR M ANGEL• CROP.
The value of salt for the mange)
crop has often been demonstrated, and
it was emphatically shown In experi-
ments carried out by the irLsh Depart-
ment of Agriculture on eleven (arms in
eight media, ars shown in a report L;
sued a year ago, says the English Agri-
cultural Gazette. The average re-
sells were only 3 tons 14 cwt. per acre
without manure. Fifteen tons of farm
manure gave an increase of 12 tons
19 cwt. TThe addition of 4 cwt. of super-
phosphate matte the erop 2', torte
more, the further addition of 2 cwt. of
sulphate of ammonia made it 1X tons
more still; and where kainit, at literate
of 2 cwt. per acre was added to the ot-
her three artiticlaLs and the farmyard
manure, another 2}4 tons brought the
yield up to 23 tons 13 cwt. But 4 cwt.
of salt, instead of the kainit, gave an In-
crease of 3 tons 7 cwt., the total yield
being 24Xtons, or 20 tons 16 cwt.
more than where no manure was used.
16e farm manure is valued at 4s. per
ten, which Is enough, perhaps, consider -
Ing that a single crop would not ex-
haust Il; and the whole of the manures
cost £5 ls., while the Increase due to
thein, at tOs, per ton. was worth £IO (ise
showing a profit of (1.:. per acre.
Whet is more remarkable, however. L;
That 4 cwt. of salt, coding only 4s.,
when added to the farni manure,super-
phosphate, end sulphate of ammonia,
gave an increase of 3 tong 7 cwt. of
mongels, worth LI 134. lid.
