MANURES AND MANURING,
(T. C. Wallatie, Before the Onta-rio
Farmers' Iestitute.)
(Coetinued from last issue.)
Manuring is actuelly eultivation.
Manure ie labor. So WOritiftg the soil
as to. Set tree some of the store of
looked up fertility is rational work.
Returning to the soil a portion at
•
leaseof the material we remove by
cropping and grazing is also Mt /Mat,
work, but ()ray a branch of the work,
Treating the soil as a receptacle or
storehouee into which we undertake to
put a dollar's worth of stuff to get a
dollar's worth mit, and struggliee•,in
a bargain to obtain that first dollar's
worth for fifty or seventy-five cents,
so that we may score a profit on our
labor, is neither rational or business
like, Such lottery with nature is ne-
wt:111y of the boasted agricultural in-
Lelligenee of the closing days of the
nineteenth century.
Let us, however, now look closely at
the general result of stock feeding on
our lands. We find the results are
goou up to it certain point. It was
certainly better than grain growing as
described. But, had we understood
the true function of olover as a man-
ure as we do to:day, we might have
carried on the grain growing pretty
successfully without stock, and per-
haps more successfully than we have
done it. with stock. But we oertainly
obtained a better condition of the soil
by having tlae animal manure for our
lands. The animals fed on the farm
nature us most af the potash and most
of the nitrogen which they take with
there feed, but they return as actually
none. of the phosphoric aeid they take
excePt such portions as they fail le
digest- They take it to build their.
bone, their nerve force, their ripening,
and their puwers of reproduction. And
so like the grain and, nearly every oth-
er living thing we have to deal with,
except the birds, our domestic animals
drain the phosphate from the soil. Do
not deceive yourselves with the false
theory that after their young bone is
built they then return the phosphate.
No such thing occurs, and in fact the
actual necessity for phosphate becomes
greater as ripening or age advancese
of course within the limits of the pro-
ducing period, after which animals are
not usually kept. It is sometimes con-
tended that this drain of phosphoric
acid can be prevented by feeding t•on-
centrated foods to animals in much
greater quantities than they require
and so making them
ANIMATED MANURE FACTORIES.
This is blind practice. It is a frantic
endeavor to fit the animal to the land.
instead of adapting the land to our re-
quirements. It is wasting energy,
which can be more profitably applied
to filling the pail or making beef, mut-
ton or pork. It is this same blind
practice wheih causes so much diver-
sity of opinion and almost annually the
changing of methods of cropping., cul-
tivating and. harvesting our crops, to
try and fit them to the gradually, but
surely. changing conditions of our
lands. Throwing the blame on Provid-
ence and ascribing our difficulties to
"clianate changing" must stop some-
where, and the sooner the better.
1-Vhen farmers realize thkt they must
study their soils and adopt means to
restore them, at least to a condition
of "virgin fertility," many of the in-
genious plans and contrivances which
make their lives miserable will eass in-
to ancient history and the museum.. I
say that when farmers realize the true
;nwardriess of manuring as the rounda-
tion of. the whole agricultural struc-
ture we will not see the boys crowding
to the cities and leaving, the noblest
and surest of all callings for the un-
certainties of trade and commerce.
We may inquire now what indiea-
Eons there are of the waning fertility
through the described denudation of
tee phosphatic heart in the land. ix
1 seem to lay stress on this want of
phosphate without good and sufficient
rea.soe I may well be condemned, but
there are signs which he who runs
;nee read, and those who desire to un-
irerstand must throw away their smok-
ed glaeses and raise themselves to a
niglaei pl.n.i et thought, and the ego-
ist must lay aside his stagy ticisms. It
gives me pleasure to be able to sly
that 1 find must farmers thoughtful
and anxious for information on this
subject, though naturally timid in ac-
cepung what to them at first Seems a
theory, but to that elass of people who
doubt everything but their own exist-
enee, and whom I choose to designate
ite egoists, 1 make no appeal.
The signs moat noticeable are per-
haps, Else a hankering after bones
and rotten wood by the cows.
We also knew. how unsatisfactory
bones are as a food for cows, and we
ask why do these animals whose stem -
ace acids eannot dissolve benes naake
such frantic efforts to eat ummtural
food,
will answer you. 15 the Irishman's
way, by asking another teeestion.
What is bone? And I se.e I must an-
swer My own question. It is largely
phosphate of lime. • The animal then
wants phospnerte tioid, the weave prin-
ciple of bone. Rave you ever seen the
phosphatio light en an old dead log in
the woods after rain? 01 eourse you
bevel There again is the reason the
cow eats the dead wood --because of
the development, of phosphorous.
Th t weak-kneed pig fed on food
wantieg in phosphorie acid is another
sigreand so is the old sow savagely de-
vouring her young.
The loss of fertility in stock, the pre-
valet:Me to disease, as, for installed,
abortion and tuberculosis, are signs,
The givingwayof the teeth in the
naan raee again points the way.
The ehaneing of ()lovers from rieh,
digestible fodder to tough, herbaceous
tuft only fit for rope, is another sign.
The softening grain, and. the soft,
yielding etraw is still an indication.
The clover sloknees, which I have seen,
has the lose of phosphatic fertility for
its prime cause. The spread of disease
among orchards because the trees are
anablE to resist is in the same
line
The ehriveled grain and failure to
get perfect ripenieg, exeept in the
most favorable seasons, can be put to
no other cause but the want of power
to properly ripen. Turn whera you,
wilt, and the eigas stere you in the

RENOVATING ORCHARDS.
Repair is not necessarilY aseeielated
with old age and decay. Apple trees
10 or 15 years old sometimes need r° -
pairing quite as much as do old and
neglected. oues. When the orchard to
be treated has been neglected for
many years, the first operation, if the
Lana does not need draining, is to
prune thoroughly. In this operation,
whice nney be performed at any time
front late fall until the middle of May,
care should be used that the trees are
given an open head. This does not im-
ply that all small limbs should be re-
moved, leaving a lot of whip -stocks,
but that such of the larger _Limbs as
are parallel and close together, or
those which cross should be cut out.
Half of the diffieulty of pruning is
done away Willi if one deeides to allow
the tree its natural form, rather than
atotret to shape it to some partieular
m
Many growers suppose that pruning
weakens the tree and shortens its life.
Then is, however, no reason for this
belief other than the general state-
ment that pruning is unna curia. But
penning is not unnatural. Man sel-
dom prunes so heavily as does nature
in removing superfluous limbs in the
growth of young saplings in the forest.
Furthermore, nature prunes at all sea-
, sons and in the rudest ways. 43y this
it should not be understood, however,
that care is not necessary in the me-
chanical operation of pruning. - On
the other hand, it is of the greatest
importance that large limbs be remov-
ed with care and the wounds painted
Lo prevent the entrance of fungi which
wile induce decay. In trebling young
trees, all crotches should be avoided.
If bad crotches should be found to
exist in ;trees 10 or more years old,
they should. be braced by means of an
iron bolt. Much damage may be avoid-
ed if bolts are used in season.
I THE LIFE -TIME OF A NATION.
It is evident to every reader of bis
tory that nations have what may be
called a life -period, at the encl of
wheel] they decay. Half a century ago
a French writer undertook to deter-
mine the average duration of national
life, and he arrived at the conclusion
that it was between 800 and 1,000
years. Recently Dr. D. G. Brinton
has taken up this inquiry in a scienti-
fic spirit, and after pointing out what
• may be described as national diseases,
based upon lack of proper food, misuse
of poisonous substances, misdirection
of the mental and physical powers,
etc., he concludes that, barring some
deadly blow from without, which
won'ti correspond with a fatal accident
in the case of an individual, there is
no reason why a nation might net pro-
long its existence indefinitely. But
to do that it must be constantly wide-
awake and on guard against degen-
• eration.
FAMOUS RINGS.
• The smallest wedding ring was that
used at the marriage of Mary, daugh-
ter of Henry VII., to the Dauphin of
France, son of Francis I. The Dauphin
was born February 28, 1518, and, as a
matter of state policy and to bring
about it union with England, he was
married, accordieg to the custom of
the time, when 8 months old, to a
princess, who was 2 years old. She
wore it cap of black velvet, covered
with jewels, and a dress of cloth of
euld. Cardinal Wolsey handed the
ring and performed mess.
The beautiful Miss Gunning, accord-
ing to Horace Walpole, was married to
the duke of Hamilton with a curtain
ring, his grace being hasty, in May-
fair chapel, and at half -past 12 at
night. In Ireland, among the impover-
ished peasants, hired wedding rings are
often used. In the Greek ceremony
the priest gives a. silver ring to the
beide, and a •gold one to the
groom.
Numerous persons claim to possess
the fatal ring given by Elizabeth to
the earl of Essex -the one which the
countess of Nottingham cruelly with-
held -while he lay under sentence of
death. It is said that in 1564, when
Mary Stuart married Darnley, her
royal cousin sent this very ring in
token of her highest • regard -regard
which history proved worthless. The
ring exhibited as that of Lady h'rances
Devereux, daughter of ,Essex appears
the most authentic. It was made for
a lady's finger and subsequently en-
larged, with a portrait of the queen
in sardonyx.
Lady Scroope dropped it sapphire
ring from the palace .window to ail-
nounce the death bf Elizabeth; her
brother hasteted with the greatest
speed to deliver it to the Seotch
prince. ,

The following statement has been
issued by the Ontario Department of
Agriculture regarding the condition of
COPS and live stook, based upon re-
ports received trone over five hundred
special correspondents during the first
week of May, 1899:
THE WEATHER,.
The records of the weather for the
Six winter months November to April
show thae while the severity of the
weather was slightly more intense
than the average, the conditions which
Prevailed during Pebruary were es-
pecially unfavorable to agriculture.
The mean temperature for that month
Wits 1&.O degrees, as compared, with) an
average of 18.4 for the pe.riod 1882-98;
while the snow -fall averaged only 8
inches against 16.3' inches, the general
average of the month. • The absence of
thi prwection generally afforded by a
thick' covering of snow during mid-
winter explains the Serious injury sus-
tained by fall crops and other vegeta-
tion. •
FALL WHEAT.
The weather during the winter andthe
early spring has been exceedingly- un-
favorable for fall wheat, and. as a con-
sequence the crop, which promised well
before the snowfall, has been greatly
injured by the inclemency of the sea-
son, and is practically it failure in
many localities. The want of snow in
most places left the groutel exposed to
unix u Ey severe and protracted frtsts,
and the heavy rains formed pools of
water which froze and killed the young
plants in the hollows and flooded
lands. The dry weather which has
prevailed in some neighborhoods since
the opening of the s growing season has
also wrought some injury. A consider-
able percentage of the area sown to
fall wheat is being plowed, up. As a
rule this crop appears to have whater-
ed better on clay or heavy land than
on light soils, although the experience
of correspondents is by no means IDA-
animous on this point, The situation
of the lands, and the degree of shelter
afforded from wind and frost by its
location appear to have been a con-
siderably more influential factor in
deciding its suitability for fall wheat
• growing than the character of the
soil. In •many cases it has been ob-
served that the partial protection af-
forded by accumulations o1 snow near
the fences, the rest of the field being
bare, has saved. the wheat plants thus
protected. It is worthy:also of note
that the reports from Algoma, where
there was a good. covering of snow dur-
ing the winter, are more favorable
than those from the older settled coun-
ties. • There are slight losses from in-
sect pests reported, wire -worms and
the Hessian fl3r having appeared last
fall in a few localities in the western
part of the Province. At the time
correspondente wrote rain was urgent-
ly needed at several points to ensure
the remaining crop.
CLOVER.
A large proportion of the clover crop
j.n every section of the Provinoe. has
been winter -killed, owing to the mar -
city of snow, the plants being either
heaved or frozen in the ground. by ex-
posure to the severity of the weather.
The thinness of the old growth by rea-
son of the drouth of last season, and
the poor catch on newly seeded areas,
contributed to this result. The dam-
age appears to have been greatest in
tha Lake Erie and Lake Ontario groups,
while the most favorable showing is
made by northerly localities, where the
snow remained. on the ground to a later
date. Where the crop survived the
winter the fields are generally in a
heal hp and flourishing condition, and
promise well, although In some quart-
ers clover is beginning to suffer for
lack of moisture.
• WINTER RYE.
This crop is not extensively raised
in any part of the Province, but where
grown it has generally come through
the winter in good condition, and prom-
ises well. The early *sown is looking
better than that of a later growth.
Correspondents in several neighbor-
hoods note time: more of this grain is
being eultivitted than usual, a fact
which is doubtless due to its value for
feeding green to stock during periods
when grass is not available owing to
droutir.
• VEGETATION.

Many localities the first of May found
vegetation well advaneed, affording
good pasturage for live stock, Reporta
are, lenvever, vtiry variable in this re-
spect, The Lake Erie counties, and
the eastern Portion of the Peovinoe
appear to be the most bacleward sec-
tions. Fruit trees and shrubs in the
west are in leaf at ai earlier date than
usual. Continued • dry weather hes
somewhat retarded the grass in many
quarters.
SPRING SEEDING.
Considerable variation °cetera in t e
reports regarding seeding, While some
of the reports state that the seed -bed
has been favorable, a larger number de-
scribe the soil as being too wet, or
inclined to be "sad and run together,"
to quote several correspondents. In
the west and north clay soils were
said to be heavy from the weight of
snow, while in more eastern localities,
the fact was pointed out that there was
an. unusual depth. of frost in the
ground. The season was generally re-
garded as being late, but the remark-
ably fine weather prevailing as cor-
respondents wrote, made the outlook
for the getting in of spring crops an
encouraging one. • The proepects are
that a full area of spring grains will
be sown, particularly of oats.
FRUIT AND FRUIT TREES.
Reports as to the condition of fruit
trees vary in different, sections and
sometimes in the same locality. In the
peach growing region known as the
Essex district, many peaches have died
during the winter, while in the Ni-
agara district, the loss reported is
small, particularly near the lake shore.
In the Lake Erie group some plums and
pears have also sustained injury dur-
ing the winter, but, generally speak-
ing, there has not been serious injury
to fruit trees other than peaches. A
majority of correspondents speak of an
abundant bloom on orchard trees, and
some fear that the blossoms are out so
early that the late spring •frosts may
attack them. There are some references
to black -knot on the plum, • but
the chief trouble complained of is
thc, appearance in large numbers of
the tent caterpillar. Several eorres-
pondents express their confidence in
spraying a.s a means of checking this
and other insect and fungous pests. In
the: western part of the Province a
number of correspondents state that
smelt fruits, particularly raspberries,
have suffered from the trying win-
ter
LIVE STOCK.
As a rule live stock have wintered
well, and are in good condition, fodder
being abundant, though SOmS. corres-
pondents note a scarcity, especially in
the east and on the Lake Erie frontier.
Many of the ea.ttle are reported rather
thir. in flesh, though healthy. The
market for both horses and horned
cattle is brisk, and prices good. Hor-
ses have suffered in come places frail"
influenza and distemper. Sheep have
been remarkably prolific, •and the
young lambs are mostly strong and
healthy, though in a few localities con-
siderable losses have taken place. The
mos, serious • disease affecting live
stock has been an ailment described as
crippling or rheumatism which has de-
stroyed very large numbers of pigs,
especially the younger animals, in al-
most every part of the Province. The
cause of this disorder is supposed be,
some to be overfeeding with grain dur-
ing the long confinement of the Win-
ter months.
• i FARM SITPPLIES.
A considerable quantity of hay be-
yond that necessary for home require-
ments remains in the hands of farmers
in most localities, the low prices pre-
vailing having been inaufficient to
bring It to the market. In many
places, however, the extra demands of
the late sprieg have left them with
little, if any, available surplus. Oats
are much scarcer, and the remaining
supply will mainly be required for
stock feeding. A large proportion of
• the wheat harvest is yet retained by
those who can afford to do so in the
hope of an increasein price. The great
demand for cattle at good figures has
resulted in the sale and shipment of
an unusually large number of fat and
store animals, so that there is 'almost
a universal scarcity, especially of the
forraer, some places being left with an
insufficient supply for local -slaughter-
ing demands. Several correspondents
note that farmers aro beginning to
realize that it is more profitable -at
least when feed is selling at a low
price -to fatten their own stock for
/market, instead of selling them as
store cattle. This tendency of course
somewhat reduces the supply both of
coarse grain and of stockers for ex-
port. Its permancy will naturally de-
pend upon the relative prices of feed,
and 'of fat as compared with lean cat-
tle.

FLOWER FOR SEALS.
If you are artistically inclined a very
pretty and novel way of sealing your
letters is to form flowers with various
Okra of wax, thus doing away with
the old fashioned monograrti. Pansies
ate very easily formed by first using
violet wax, giving slight curves to the
outer edges, and then white or yele
low in the centre, twirling it around
a few times to produee a decided
pansy effect. Roses are easily made
by using the different shades of pink.
If the seal is brought to a thin, sharp
stem when finishing the effect will be
greatly heightened. '

POTATO CURE FOR RHEUMATISM.
The eurlon5 Remaly or an Irlithutau for
he Complaint.
Among the many curiosities pullet
out of an Irishman's pocket one day
in a vaint search for it coin was a lit-
tle black object that looked like a hard,
round piece of agate. A friend ex-
pressed astonishment at the man's car-
rying such a thing in his pocket, and
asked him why he did it.
"Why, mar alive," Pat exclaimed,
" 010.C -is not a stone, but just apo -
tato, and, sure, I carry it with me to
cure me rheumatics. 1.have two about
me," said Pat, diving down in his oth-
er pocket, and bringing forth- the mete
of the first curious looking potato, as
Pat swore it was.
Upon investigation it was found
that Pat had much method in his mad-
ness, Potatoes among old country
people 'lave been looked upon for inany
years as a preventive of rheumatism.
Small, round, smooth potatoes are chos-
en, and are put in each pocket of the
trousers. Soon the potatoes become
black, but they never rot ; they seem
to be petrifiid, and it is clahned they
take the poison of the disease out of
the system.
At any rate, the remedy is a simple
one and well worth a trial.

TEA THE BRITONS DRINK.
Greatest CIMS111110114 of the Beverage In the
• World.
We e,onsume eleven times the quan-
tity that suffices for the average Rus-
sian, and four times the allowance of
each inhabitant of the United States,
says London Tit -Bits. If the total
quantity of tea consumed in this coun-
try every twelve months was to be
placed on one scale, and. the ;whole Bri-
tish army, on the peace footing, of
215,060 men was placed, on the other,
it would not coueterbalanoe the tea-
chest -no! not even if each man on
--the average weighed 168 pOunds. If
five more armies of a similar number
of men and weight were also thrown
into the scale they would have no ef-
fect on tlae equilibrium of the tea-
chest; nor would the beam swing be-
fore 65,640 additional men, weighing 12
stone eaoh, joined the six armies al-
ready standing more or less at ease on
. the opposite scale; by that time they
would •number 1,350,000 men, and the
indicator would show that the balanee

A GIRL FAMINE,
Manitoba is suffering. from a "girl
famine." Servants, apparently, cannot
be hited. The young woman •who acts
as general servant in a private fam-
ify can ,easily command $1.6 a month
at Winnipeg; the parlor maid, $18,
the cook $25, and the launclre.ss $15 to..
$20. A number of Scotch lassies were
brought to the province last spring
arid already over 50 per cent. Of them
are rnarried.

MOST NOTABLE WOMEN.
Recently an English magazine for
woman had a prize competition, de-
termined by popular vote, to decide
whc are the twelve most notably good
women of the nineteenth century,
Much interest in the competition was
manifested. in England, especially am-
ong women, and a large number of
votes were cast.
The selections in the order of merit
were: Her Majesty the Queen, Flor-
ence Nightingale, Elizabeth Fry, the
Baroness Burdett Coutts, the Princess
of Wales, the Duchess of Teck, Sister
Dora,Agnes Weston, Grace Darling, the
Princess Alice, Lady Henry Aoraerset
and Frances Ridley Havergal.
It will be easily noticed that the se-
lections embody strictly an Englteh
• point of view, which might have been
expected, since only English opinion
determined the voting, although the
subject was of world-wide scope.
' The women raected have all been
notable througil the purity of their
works. tnd e life atheir conspicuous or-
ganization and. support of charitable

RANI) PAINTED DREssns.
Printed rauslins and silks will not do
this year. They must be hand paint-
ed, and very lovely and waustial
!signs are the result. Let not the une
skilled amateur imagine that she is
equal to the task of decorating a gown
or parasol, for nothing could be mere
unlovely than awkward arrangeme
or crude coloring. All sorts of Bolts-
ers are used --lilies, pansies, poppies,
roses, tulips and daffodils -in wreaths
and borders and scattered over the
goods. One ean choose one's favorite
flower and have the design made to
order, and it is not liable to be dupli-
cated.
The gown should be cut first and the
pattern made afterward, and so ad-
apted to the style in whieh the dtess
is to be made. Parasol and fan are
designed to accompany the gown.
Mad. painting ig especially adapted Lo
the decotation of parasols, and. in (lie
form will perhaps be more generally
used, for unless one is able to do the
painting oneself it is a somewhat ex-
pensive luxuty.
