Now tho best forin of so-callod
lasting manure is ord inary farmyard
manure, which contains per ton
about ten pounds each of nitrogen
and potaoh and fivo pounds phos-
phoric acid. Therefore, a manure ap-
plication lasting to tko oxtont or six
years must be somothIng like forty-
five tons per am which is absurd in
I gonoral fanning as evory farmer
!knows. In Met, a lasting fortilizor
moans pretty much a manure the

!stacked in the barnyard, it will last
' a heap longer. The wise thing in
manuring is to give plant foor for
the next crop, and govo it so the
crop can get it whoa it wants it. Al-
so, use pleaty of potash and phos-
phates as the clover crop supplies I
enormous quantities of nitrogoa

Phosphates must be sulmiled to go

• A TERBIBLE ENEILEY.
Experience of American Sailors
With the Gray Whale.
The gray whato, a. huge mammal
which inhabits the North Pacific
Ocean, and is most ofton found
along the American coast,. particu-
larly in tho Gulf of California, makes
so vigorous a fight when attacked
and is so terrible an adversary that
it is known among sailors as the
devil -fish. Mr. Fronk Button giveo,
in, the Cymbal leragazitie, a vivici
scription of the dint/elution Wrought
by one of those whales Piton inturi-
at Jed.
tis
a standing order cimong the
wholers never to injure a calf when
1.11(1 mother is uear. Noglect of this
order was the cause of tho catastro-
phe. A. fleet of thirteen American
whale -ships was oft the coast of
I Lower California, and Ofty-two boats
' four from each ship wero out. In.
somo way, in striking a, lozgo cow
vrhalo, a harpoon transfixed hor calf,
which was at her side, and killed it
instantly.
The mother quickly satisfied her-
solf that the calf WaS deaa and then
turned upon hot aggressors like a,
ventablo demon of destruction.
Whilo carefully avoiding the ex-
posure of hor bbdy to attack, she
spread dovastation among the flo-
tilla. nett she rose to the surfoce
it was but for a se.conel, to emit an
expiration . like tho hiss or a lifting
safety -valve, and at the same in-
stant to de•stroy a boat or oomplote
the destructibn of one already hope -
twisty daosaod. Every blow was
dealt with accuracy and an appectr-
anoo of premeditation. Tho speed of
the monstor tvas so great that she
appottred almost simultaneously at
widely separated points. Not con -
tont with dealbig ono tremendous
blow at a boat, and reduciug it to a
bundle of looso boards, she attacked
the to/nolo-go again and again.
Uttet• demoralization omzed even
tho veterans. Tho distanco lo the
shore was greot, and the huge whale,
so fax from spending her fury soomed
only to grow moro desperately in
earnest As the work of desetruction
wont. oo. At last two boats succeed-
ed iu reaching the poach. Tito prows
had hardly leaped overboard to run
their croft Alp when close behiud them
in the shallow water appeared their
relontless orourty. She was just too

escaped undamaged. Moro than fifty
