Science, as that term is generally applied, has not effected for agricul ture wlat farmers bare beea led to expect; and ia stating wherein it Las failed, I claim that I confer a greater benefit on agriculturists than 1 could by urging upon tbem the theories advanced by those who claim that the failure of farmers to gTow iarc, profitable crops every waftn is owing to their neglect to follow the rules laid down by agri cultural chemists. I claim that no man exit; is who can give a formula of commercial fertilizers for the differ ent crops grown with certain and un ch&ngaUe results in different locali ties that the best formulas for fer tilizers thai can be given arc liable to fail as profitable investments in per haps half the cases where applied. I'rofessor Atwater, in an article in the Ayrieulturalixl, gives the result of the application "to one plot a com plete fertilizer, to another the same with the omission of nitrogen, while from a third pbosporic acid, and from a fourth potash was omitted, and so on, the last of the plots, seven in cumber, being left unmanured." That the reader may understand this case the more fully, I will add that the "complete fertilizer" was that known as I'rof. Villers, which is ex tensively sold. It is said to be adap- ted to all crops, and is composed of the following: lb. Suoerphtinale - 57 Sulphate ot )K-h ITS Sulphate of ammonia viMt Sulphate of liiue (plaster) MS This composed the "complete fer tilizer," as applied to plot No. 1. Here are the general results with a crop of oats : II. l.e'Hi 1.4t l.fc.tt 1.7M l. 1.H7 l.iTO 1 lmflete leni.'iier M VVttbuttt aitnjveu it lutut iinwpii.irlc acid. . .... 4 Wliliout priuuh fc Wiiln.ut aul.hate ot Ume.... ASuijitiate 01 atnimaila 7 Nil uianare..... In plot No. 2, "without nitrogen," means that the sulphate of ammonia was left cut In No. 3, "without phosphoric acid," means that tbe tone in tbe superphosphate was omitted. Now note tbe singular results. ben some of these cbemical fertilizers were omitted tbe crop was largely in creased ; and tbe plot that contained "no manure'' was larger than on plot 2, with nitrogen only omitted. In regard to these results, Prof. Atwa ter says : "Soils vary in their need of p'ant-food, and if we are going to buy fertilizers to put on them, we should select the ones that furnish tbe needed materials ratber than to pay our money for ingredients that are not needed. Phosphates and bone manures, which make up the larger part of the commercial manures in ordinary use, furnisH varying, but generally small quantities ot nitro gen, and little or no potash. Tbeir most important ingredient is phos phoric acid ; tbey all contain lime, of which in the superphosphates, a con siderable r art is in tbe form cf eu' pbate. Ia a vast number of casts these are just wbat is w anted. But in tbe one described, tbe phosphoric acid and sulphate of lime did very little good. It certainly would have been poor economy to buy phosphates and bone mauores for the land and crops ex perimented on. Peruvian guano, which is rich in nitrogen, and fur nishes a little potash, would have been better, but a .large part of its value is in phosphoric acid, which was not wanted, at least not for pres ent use. Cf course, after long crop ping, tbe conditions might be chang ed. But most of us cannot afford 10 store np large excess of costly mate rial in our soils, to be drawn upon, perhaps, a decade or a generation bence, and perhaps, never. We want our investments to bring tbe best re turn in tbe quickest time, and we ought to try to apply such fertilizers as will do ibis, and at tbe same time bring tbe plant-food in tbe soil into equilibrium with tbe needs of enr crops." Tbe Professor bas a correct view of tbe case, as be admits that farmers muat themselves ascertain by experi ments what fertilizers tbeir soils eecd wbat I bare often sa;d in these "Topics." Bnt then comes in tbe difficulty that every Geld, according to its cropping, is different in its re quirements; one field may lack pot ash, another nitrogen, and a third phosphoric acid only; while a fourth may need them alL COLORIXO BITTER. An experienced dairyman gives in tbe Ohio Farmer tbe following rules for coloring bntter: No. I. Four ounces of Inmp an natto, one-half gallon of water ; mix and stir one day or until dissolved. No. 2. Four ounces of carbonate of potash, two ounces sal soda, three pints water; mix and stir oue day or until dissolved. Mix Noa. 1 and 2 together. If tbe cream is taken from deep cans, use two tablespoonsfal to four gallons of cream. If tbe cream is taken from shallow pins, use one tablespoonful to four gallons of cream, ia winter. In spring and fall use less. Cat the an natto in small piece so it will dis solve easily. Having tempered tbe cream and added tbe coloring matter, let tbe churn work only moderately fast When the butter has formed in little pellets about the eize cf duck shot, draw off all the buttermilk. Do not b afraid of the butter coming ont of the chnrn. Get a pail of clean water and bring it to the temperature of 50 Take the dash out of the churn and pour this water from as high as you can hold it down on these pellets of butter. Stir the butler up thoroughly with a paddle. Draw of this water and pour another pailful on the bntter. Stir it up and take the butter out and put it on the but ter worker. An inclined table with a lever running across it is good enough. After tbis severe ba'h the butter will need but little working. Let all the working be done simply by pressure. Do not slide a paddle over the butter. Having got the but termilk all out. press the butter into a thin sheet and sprinkle one-sixth of the salt on it Hepeat tbis until ail the salt is worked in. Butter should never bo salted stronger than one half ounce to the pound. ''' POTATO BEETLES. A Wisconsin farmer writes to the t ural Xew Yorler as follows: "Having had some ten years' experi ence in fighting botato beetles, 1 will tell you how we do it The first thing" after they make their appear ance in the spring, which tbey do as soon as the potatoes are out of the ground, is to hand-pick the "seed bugs," as we call them. This hand picking is done very readily by the children when the potatoes are small, and very thoroughly, too, if they are paid for the work at a fixed price per hundred a cent a hundred will do when the beetles are thick, counting each nest or cluster of eggs as one beetle. After they are picked tbey are scalded or burned. An old oys ter cr fruit can is used for holding tbem. the beetle bnnters carrying the can in one hand and picking the pests with the other, just as yoa would nick bemea. iroioff over the held as i ofien as there are any beetles to be picked. If this picking is thorough ly done, we do not begin to use Paris green until the potato tops are near ly grown, or until the young beetles begin to hatch." He applies the Par is green in water a table?poonful to a pail of water, and puts it on the vines with a brush, made by tying a handful of fine corn busks on the end of a stick three feet long. Then bo takes the pail in one band and the brush in the other, and gives each hill a thorough sprinkling, taking two rows at a time. The water must be stirred frequently, as the. Paris green settles at the bottom. MANURE FOB TCKMl'S. Ot all commercial fertilizers super phosphate is the best ior turnips, i bat which is dissolved in oil cf vit rei (sulphuric acid) is best. Indeed, all superphosphate is thus dissolved, if not, it ia merely phosphate of bane lineal. The diolvcd article acts upon vegetation immediately, wciie tbe crude bone meal will remain in the ground several years before its virtues are exhausted. Nitrogenous fertilizers, as goano, sulphate . f am monia, and nitrate of soda are not of much benefit to root crops. MONET IX SWEET OnX. An Ohio farmer "grows over 500 acres of this crop annually. Tbe drying bouse employs over 50 per sons. Tbe fresh ears are steamed five minutes to "set tbe milk," the grain is then cut of rapidly witb cut ters having concave faces ; then spread on perforated zinc tables, and beat applied four or five hours from long furnaces, stirring constantly ; then packed in barrels of three bush els each for shipment. Great care is required to bare tbe corn just at the right age, and to bare it dried just enough to keep well. Four boebels of corn on tbe cob make one bushel dried tbe wholesale price of which is $20 to $22 per barrel. At 50 bush els of corn per acre 500 acres would yield 25,000 basbels, and give over 2,000 barrels of dried corn, which, at $20 per barrel, would be worth just H0.000. The t'tri ef latacrta. We often talk of tbe plague of in sects. Tbey are often great plagues, but we must not forget that we owe insects a great debt of gratitude as well.

"Insects are useful in destroying dead vegetables substances, wbicb are even more pernicious to man than animals in the same condition, and not only tbe soft and succulent portions, but even tbe solid wood is destroyed by them. Ia tbe immense forests of tbe tropics the ground would be covered, and shoots be choked ud by tbe ruins of trees wbicb bad fallen by accident or age, and wbicb it would require ages to disperse without the aid of insects. But no sooner is a tree fallen than a tribe of insects cat its bark to pieces, another bores boles in it in all direc tions, so tbat tbe moisture from rain .-r dew may stand, decompose and soften.

Mr. . James Wylie, "the invincible herd laddie," i so called because bo learned to play checkers while watching cattle in the field, is 55 rears of asre. He bas al ready bad a ta3te of the champion's qualitv. Last year be came to New Vork and played twenty-four games with iates. Ice youtn won two eames and the rest were drawn. Of tuenty-fiix games played ia Brook lyn, Yates won Eve and Wylie one. In a match for $50, Yates won two games, Wylie one, the rest of the fifty being drawn. .Yates, in bis re cent .match with Thomas Martins, wbo crossed the ocean to defeat him, won three gamee, and Martins but one. ' Five years ago a 6chool companion of Yates' came back from a visit to Sullivan County enthused with the game. He taught Yates the moves. "We used to play around on stoops in those days," tbe champion said yesterday. "Afterwards 1 went to tbe Union for Christian Work, in Ful ton street, near Puflield street, Brook lyn. There I first learned that I could take two Jxea at a time. I tbooht that was a big step gained." Several years ago a gentleman in Albany wrote to a Brooklyn friend that he wished to pl3y with some eood player by correspondence. Yates, under the name cf H. C. Mac- donald, agreed to accommodate him. ; After the Albany gentleman bad been driven into close quarters by bis antagonist, the correspondence ended in an angrv dispute, Recently j be wrote to the checker editor of a New York journal to inquire whether Mr. Wylie bad ever been defeated. He received ad editorial reply : "Yes, by your old antagonist, H. C. Mac donald." The letter was signed "Hubert P. Yates." Two famous players from an ii-land city, while visiting New York, not louir atro. runted all ronim'tit.ors in I o o 1 1 , the rooms of tbe Young Men's Christ ian Association, at Twenty-third : street and lourib avenue. One of tbem casually met and played with Yates, in a Nassau street office. Af ter be bad been defeated, he induced Yates to visit tbe Your.g Men's Christian. Association rooms to play witb bis friend. Yates was introdu ced under tbe name of Craig. The rural champion tucked bis legs under bis chair and got to work. After 5 short, sharp dcicats, be gave np tbe contest, complaining that be bad "no luck."' Then Yates was introduced as Yates. Yates Las a dry humor, that fre quently leads Lira to - stroll into re sorts of checker players, and engage strangers in play. He bas a slow, unpretentious manner, that, added to bis youthful aess. throws .stran gers entirely off tbeir guard. "After he bas enjoyed tbeir chagrin at be ing beaten by a boy,' be engages in conversation with tbem, and relieves tbeir annoyance by letting it leak out that bis name is Yates. - There are no stakes ia such games. la bc ltewitrhrd. Tbe good people among the bills of Morris county, N. J., have found excitement in the case of a young girl said to be "grievously vexed" of tbe devil," and whose condition is as unaccountable as it is deplorable. Tbe girl according lo tbe florid' informant, is a daughter of Elijah Nicbers, blacksmith of the Glendon Iron Company at Hardtown.' She predicted evil against her fifteenth birthday, which befel on tbe 13tb cf October last, and since that date the bas been bed-ridden and paralyzed. At times there appears under the counterpane of her bed a presence as of a rat, a rabit, or a cat sw iftly moving from place to place aud elu ding detection. In vain is tbe bed stripped, or tbe patient removed to another place; the "pre?enee" is on ly powerles to act when tbe mother sleeps witb the child. The physi cians, no less than tbe clergy, and tne common foix or all the country, side are battled. Crowds come dai ly to see tbe mystery. Oa one recent occasion, Pr. Richard, Mayor of Dover, beid bis stiff bat above tbe -presence," ana tne cat received . a blow that crushed it Yiolent blows have been given to tbe band, tj a cane, and other objects held out over the place where the "presence" - war, and, needless to say, attempts to grab the presence have failed. -All tbe while tbe girl lies moanins as if ia terror ot pain, and her position in tbe bed would be plainly such as to bow that tbe mysterious move ments were not caused by Ler. Tbe girl bas been known to abstain all focd for tbe space of fifteen days, and for .some weeks past she bas only re ceived a little miik daily, yet her face is fuir, and when tbe visitation is net nigh her Elep is apparently healthful.

He believed that tbe genuine arti cle was soothing and calming and not exciting iu iu influence. ., Once the Campbeiiites held a pro tracted meeting in tbe neighborhood ; it was carried on without any Midden outbursts, Simon took kindly to it. and attended regularly. One Sunday morning he told bis wife to lay out two suits of clothes. .MY by Simon, exclaimed sno ia ber sbrill tones, "what do yoa want witb. two suits?" . ' That's my business not yours," be replied groilly. " 1 oa lay out my black suit for roe to p'lt on, aid wrap op my brown one ia a bundle, and doa'i Bsk any question , His wife wooderisgly but silently complied, and Sitnuo donned one suit, and with the bundle uoder bis arm,' mounted bis borse and rode away, followed by tie anxious eyes of tbe big end- little Stringers, wbo marvelled greatly, -and said one to another, "What is dad goin's to do with bis 'tother c.otbe3:" Siiuoo did'ut return till supper time. He took bis aensf uned neat at the supper table, which ws the sigual for the family to begin an on slaught en the victuals, but on tbis o:cio'j Lis voice arrested every arm in its descent, and the second time' that diiy be astonished the Stringers, ' - Glancing around at the startled circle, he thus delivered bioisels: "I want it ii'.derstotd that tbe head of tbis h .usebold has this day been baptized.

After the chores were done, the Stringers were stringing off to bed, wheu tbe stern voice of tbe old man jaguia arrested ibeai, and filled the air w uu grave toreoouings as 10 wuai was coming next. He addressed tbem as follows : "Conic into tbis room, every one of r . L r . . i . yon, and pop down ou your kuees. j It m my duty as a devoui.

Tbis sort of tbiog continued about two week, and tbe Stringer family was kept in a state of extreme misery. The voutiger members bad several times been severely whipped for con duct unbecoming the children of a true btliever, and the older ones re ceived harsh reprimands for failing to fall into tbo new order of tbinirs and comport themselves with proper dignity. Then one morniog Siraoa came in with a battered milL pail and tbe knees of bis pants torn. Dropping into a chair at the table, be plunged bis fork into the nearest dish. .. Tbe cbildreo looked up from their plates questioniogly, aud tbeir moth er squeaked : . "Why, .Siiuou?"

A dressing which is at once agreeable, henlthy, and effectual f o r preserving the Lair. Jt soo n restores faded or amy hair to its original color, icifft the gloss and freshness of youth. Thin hair is thickened, falliug hair checked, and baldness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can restora the hair where the follicles are de stroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed; but such as remain can Le saved by this application, and stimu lated into activity, so that a new growth of hair is produced. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use wili prevent the hair from turning gray or falling oif, and consequently prevent baldness. The restoration of vitality it gives to the scalp arrests aud prevents the forma tion of dandruff, which is often so un cleanly and offensive. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous and inju rious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit hut not harm it. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither od nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy lustre, and a grateful perfume. Prepared by Dr. J. C.
