sown either before or after that, as
eenvenient.' Use One or two barrels
of good superphosphate to the acre in

the soil. The drills should not be less
than two feet apart. Farmers ought to
put in more roots, and rut-bagas are

is a_ lit tie but it, is all eaten ;
otherwise, the manure heap is ineyeased here a building suitable o the im-
Machine* for Gambling Swindling,
The-, following singular digcoyery
in a Washington gamlaing-house is te-
lated by one of tile journals published
in that city :,--The building, 414, Penn-
sylvania, avenue, occrpled for some tin e
as the -4-` Congress Clothing Store," is
now being pulled down to make room
for extensive improvement contemplat-
ed by the present proprietor, Dr. D. B.
Clarke. In taking down - some of the
partitions to remove a gas -pipe,. day-
light was lain upon some secret .wireS,
which, being traced, were found to ex -
ted through the rooms -of the whole up-
per portion of the building, and, with
other ap perms, forming One of the most
remarkable pieces of machine).y for
ganabling swindling ever . exposed to
view. - The gambling -rooms were in the
second story front. Over them were
two garret -rooms, In the flooring of
these upper romns a trap door had been
cut, abut six feet in length and three
in width. The trap being taken up,
shows an aperature between the flow
and the ceiling of tile room below of a
size to accomodate the gambler's con-
federate ; and a series of small perfor-
ations in the ceiling afforded him a full
view on the cards held by 'die players
at the table in the room -beneath. BY
his side was the end of a thin wire,
wl:ich, passing along under the flowing
of the attic to the walls. rac down to
the flooring of the room below (playing
upon nicely -adjusted pulleys at the
angles), and so on until it reached a
point directly under the citrd-talde.
Here a very ingenious pedal arrange-
ment came into play, by which, with
aprings of spiral wire, a triangular piece
of .iron was made to work up through
a minute apertute in the floor under the
foot of the swindling gambler. The
operator of the machinery was as silent
as death, and not, an indication appear-
ed anywhere to, give the victim any
suspicion of the network . of \'illany in
which he was entrapped. The -punc-
tures in the ceiling which gave a view
ot the cards to the confederate overhead
were screaned from view by an orna-
mental oval'of green figured papering,
and the_ aperture in the floor under the
card -table through which the spring
played was contealed by the carpet.
Some years ago, it will be _remeinbered,_
a somewhat conspicuous, character, by
the name .of Donovan, was implicat-
ed in sane gambling rascality :that
led to bis serving a term in the peni-
tentiary. s This building was the scene
of his gambling operations, but, though
the estiblishment had a bad name, it
Was not suspected, that the vilany
there had any sueh diabolical backing
es was afforded by this mechinery.
For the last half dozen years the house
has been occupied as a clothing store.
The present owner purposes to erect.

BONES AS kANTIRE.—Dr., J. F. HOd-
ges of Belfast, in the Mark Lane
Apresa gives the following method for
pip:1ring bones for fertiliYing, as pre-
lieuted to an English Farmers' 'Club:,
As some members were anxious to oh -
tali directions for the preperation of
di solved bones, he considered that it
would be wieful ito ere some advice on
the subject. He wouid reccOniend the
farmers to adopt the following pian:
Place in a woolort trough or ttib the
bones broken into as many stria]) pieces
sts possible, and pour urn them one-
third of their weight oyboiling water,
and, ha'

of a wooden shovel or oil spade. The

allowed to remain some weeks preVious.
to being used. It may be Mixed, if
necessary, with dry beat mould or red
charcoal, or with sawdust -' but :lime
Should be added to it. By carefully
following these directions, the farmer
may obtain a compound of high fertili-
zing value, and much 'superior to.,many
of the specimens of dissolved bones of-

ied lime and soapboilers' refuse, which
some. persons occasionally use, should
be avoided. 13.y employing the bones,
