FARM NOTES. THOSPHATES AS APPETIZERS.—A little knot of farmers were discussing the other day the benefits of phosphates, One said he sowed a hundred pounds to the acre, and he had ‘‘good wheat.” Another had put phosphate in the hill with his corn, and he had *‘first-rate corn. It grew right along,” Another sald: *‘I tike phosphate; it 1s such an sasy way to manure the land.” The fast man put in the clincher: *‘I do pot know that it is so much of a man- gre. but it is a good appetizer.” Solis whisky.

THERE are many waste corners about | the farm and door-yard where there is | room for a fruit tree of some kind, or | for a row of currant, gooseberry, rasp- berry or blackberry bushes. There 1s no better place for these than along the fence in the backyard.

We have some kinds of culti- vated plants which by growing up and returning to the soil add to its fertility, weed bad name if it would do this. Weeds are robbers. What they contain is al- most exclusively from the soil, from what belongs to the crops among which they sow. Tue midsummer season is not a try- ing one to live stock, except in times of protracted drought. Waler must be provided, but the quantity need not be great, and where it is low or has to be hauled, animals, except milch cows, should be limited as to quantity. Miich cows should have corn-fodder cut up and fed green daily, il it is an objec to keep up the flow of milk dur drought.

The mass is then filtered, dried in the alr, the result being white, tough plates, which are more eamly worked than natural ivory. ssn MR, It is possible to keep theaduit lobster alive for a long period in a moist, cold atmosphere, At 45° F., In a proper device, lobsters have been kept alive and in good condition for fifteen days, and in a moist atmosphere only, their gills not having been immersed in water during the whole period. This discov- ery renders it possible to transport liv. ing adult lobsters across the continent, and to stock the waters of the Pacific coast, It is also possible to pack the lobster eggs in seaweed in a similar manner and to transport them for long distances, EE Remarkable accuracy is now attained by engineers iu cutting tunnels through mountains, working from ends, Thus at the Muescontecong tunnel, on the Lehigh Valley , the align. ment tested to 0.04 feet or less than one-half an inch.
