Hut dryiug by exposure to air and by tho bent from cooking re moves tho gelntino nnd leaves the phosphnto only very slightly soluble. Yet wherever tho bono is in contact with deoomposing vegetnblo mutter, the o.irbotiio ncid gns thus furnished, makes a littlo of tho bono soluble, so that plnut roots can tako somethiug from it. Most of the bono used for making fertilizer has been before need for other purposes, nnd is dried or possibly burned. This charred bono is pronnd very fine, and is largely used in tugnr refineries to remove im purities. Hut tho Lmraijg puts tho bouo into still more insoluble condi tion. Therefore, it is treated with tulplmric acid, which uuiteswith most of the lime, forming sulphate of lime or common land plaster, but at the sumo time leaving the phosphoric acid free for tho nso of p'ants. There is no reason, ns you will see, for the com mou practice of farmers to make suporpUosphnte go farther by mixing it with laud plaster. The large bulk of saperpbo-uhate is that, and adding more only makes the fertilizer revert more quickly to insolublo conditions. There is always this liability to loss in using enperphospbnte, especially if used in dry seasons and on land that contains little vegetable, matter. On mucky soils the generation of oarbonio acid gas keeps the superphosphate iu condition to be used ai plant food. CLEANLXSESS IN rAIBY WORK. Life, it has been said, is made up of I'ttle things, and it can bo said that dairying is made np the lime way in fact, any business is made np of littlo things and details, and if these are not properly attended to, failure results. One of the most important details of dairying is cleanliness. Thisehonld l observed from the milking of tbo cows lo tlio pacKtng 01 I lie prouuci i,,,j, .;ii Tho daily cleaning of dairy utensils is one of tho important faotors in pro moting cleanliness. All the milk in or on a dairy utensil should first be rinsed off with water far below the scalding point before any water np to that point is used. If scnlding water is used at the start the milk is cooked and then it is almost impossible to re more it from tho article especially the creases of scams if any there be. If scalding water is used ou a milk strainer of lino meshes before the milk has been rinsed with water of a lower temperature the strainer will be about as good as ruined and tho same will result if the milk is allowed to dry in. Therefore, if the user is not ready to rinse off tbo milk as soon as through using let the strainer be put under water and left there till it can be properly cleaned. The cans of portable creameries ebonld bo kept scrupulously clean Ibis can be easily accomplished if at tended to every time they are emptied end tho rules above mentioned ou eerved. Tho water and ice tank of a porta ble creamery should be carefully looked after. In the first place care should be takon to thoroughly rinse off all saw-dust that may stick to the ice be fore the latter is placed in the tank. Next, be sure when (-training the milk not to spill any of it into the water But if any gets into it then change the water at onc6 especially during warm weather. Every dairyman should have a dairy room or house, and it should bo loca ted where no foul odors would bo likely to reach it. That cleanliness is next to Godliness is especially true when applied to dairy lug. Western Kurul. A SF.HVICEADLE KOCND SILO. I built and still run tho tirst silo built in this tection, writes V. L. Fieh, ot Johuville, Canada. It is a square oue, but tho round silo is fur ahead The next silo I had occasion to build ivun a rouud oue. It was eighteen leet diameter inside and tweuty feet hish. It was built ou hard ground underlaid with loose, slaty lodge. lirat leveled the ground iu a circle of about twenty feet, then cemented n circlo of about two feet wide around the ouUide so that the circle for the silo would strike about the center of the cement. Haves were two inches thick aud hix inches wide, common spruce well sawn and exuet iu width nt each end, and well dried. Hoops three-quarter inches round irou, each iu four piece, with a nut aud about live inches of throad on each eud of each piece, making about forty inches of thread to each hoop, and were con neotcd by cast iron coupliugs made for tho purpose, which chu be got at any fouudry for about three cents per pound. I used seveu hoops, placing tho lower ouo about ten inches from the bottom und ouo about tho same dis tance from the top, while tho other live were equal ilistauce from each other. Xow for the setting up of tho silo. Firtt I set up one btave and trued it up plumb each way, aud braced it uu thoroughly. Next tot up four to five moro about equal distance tirouud tho uirelo and braced them well. I then drove a btroug wire uuil iu tho I outside of cuch ubout teu inches from the grouud uud auothcr nail six or seveu feet from tlio ground, 'ihesa nulls I lelt out of the wood about ouo and a fourth iuehes to luy the hoops ou. U.irh pieeo of the hoop was mu tu through a cnuimou tire lieudi r to uiuUe it the right circle, uud theu 1 put theui to'etuir tons to uiuUe t u lioo,B t J t-et up our btuvet iu. I then laid t ueh hoop ou th'i uuils pro puled fortiiem and coiuiiu-uuid to ret up.

Theu Jsirewed up the uuts ou tueh pioco nnd brought it all np tight J pnt on romainder of hoops nnd tightened all together perfootly tight. For doors for getting tho ensilage out, I sawed ont holes about eighteen inches square, sawing them on a slant so that I could use the same pieces for doors ; cut three doora, one directly above another, nt intervals of about four feet. Alter emptying tho silo, it will soon dry, and perhaps require tightening as it shrinks. This is very easy to do with a common wrenoh. American Agriculturist I'AltM AND OAIIDRN N0TE9.

Some asoribe their profit to its nse, briefly. Of cuurse, this means that all the other conditions of core and food are prop erly supplied. Old sheep are more profitable than yonug ones as long as they are healthy. It is claimed by some that any sheep failing to regain her flesh properly after her lamb is sold should not bo kept, as there is danger of her not living through the next lambing. No animal npon tho farm requires so long a time to overcome the effects of orer feedicg as does the Eheep, and when a steady gain is necessary in fattening special care must be taken in regard to this point. There is the same risk in feeding growing lambs. Some have tho mistaken notion that when poultry nre being fitted for market, stuffing tbonld be commenced at the start, but this is rot the con clusion of experieneo. The feeding for fattening shonld be gradually in creased. Care and good sense are re quisite for the best results. For several eonsons it is more de sirable to have colts come in the fall than in tho spring. It is no little item that they are not so worried by flies and heat. They seem to stand the change better whou weaned at the springing of tho grass than if taken from their mothers in the autumn. In a comparison of corn meal and corn meal inixed with cotton seed as food for steers, recently made at the Oklahoma Experimental Station, it was found that some of the etcvers seemed to dislike the cotton seed whilo others ate it readily. Tho lot fod corn meal ate more and gamed more than did those fed the mixture. It is claimed that the scab in sheep has been completely wiped ont in Australia by persistent aso ot hot baths of sulphur and tobacco, followed by one of sulphur and quicklime, at temperature of 110 degrees. What ever the apparent condition of an im ported Bleep, it must go into the bath. There is no more scab, but it has been eradicated at great cost. There are on almost all farms some bits of land naturally as good as the rest that remain unproductive for lack of capital. It may not be more profit able to bring these into productive ness than it is to put the bulk of the manure and labor on the best lund, bnt it makes the farm look better. Quito often when these places are too stony for cropping treoe planted thore will prove the beat use such plaoes can bo made to serve. Buy (irapo Fruit for Oranges. "There ere a great many people who buy grape fruit thinking that they are getting nice, large oranges. As soon as they bite into the fruit and find a bitter taste a complaint of swindling immediately goes np. They think that they have had palmed off on them oranges unfit to eat," said a fruit dealer yesterday. "Sow, about twenty years ago, when tho shaddock, as the grape fruit was then called, was being introduced to Americans from China, where it was known as the po malo, fakirs were about the only per sons who would handle the fruit. They sold them for oranges, and there was no limit to tho number of people ho were decoived. Fruit dealers found it an advantage not to handle them very extensively. Since then, however, the fruit bos become much more desirable through scientific cul tivation and it is eaten generally. It is a good appetizer and is a fine thing for persona troubled with malaria. "Tho fruit is called giapo fruit be cause it grows in clusters like grapes. Tho clusters contain betweon ninety and 100 pieces of tho fruit, each of which averages about a pound in weight. Bo, you see, it takes a pretty strong branch to hold even ono bunch, The Florida fruit is the finest grown, It is sold at 815 a box of three dozen California stock is pretty, but much oi it dry.

Holland Still (ironing. Holland has tletormined npon n gigantio engineering feat roolaiming of 787 square miles of land now lying under the Zuruor -ee. 1m gut hundred years ago all of Holland contained 000 sinnro miles of land, or less than one third of the aroa of the ntato of Dela ware Gradually, by moans of great dikes, land has boou reolaimod nutil the present area is nearly 13,000 mile. This is more than twenty times tho original area. Tho now work involves the construction of a dam tweuty- soven miles in length. Tho lino will run from a point ucar Ileider, which is north of Amsterdam, to tho lulnnd ot Wierincon. Then from the cast end of tho island, which is ton miles long, connecting at a point just south of Workum. Tho diko will mcasuro thirty-five foot at thebaso, tapering to sight feet at the top. The first task is the driving of two rows of piles on either side of the pro posed diko, forming a passage fifty feet wide. Against these thore will be naoked bags of sand nntil two parallel smbankments are raised above the sea level. The water will then be pumped ont of this area and a dry canal formed from shore to shore. Here on the bed 3t the sea the dike will bo built of solid masonry. Behind tho wall will bo a bank of earth, bound with willow twigs ,'n a series of basket work. or the drainage of this great basin colossal windmills are to bo constructed 200 feet in hoight, with arms seventy-five feet long. These will raise the water into the network of canals which will cover tho roolaimed area. Nor is this the end of the task. The bottom of tho sea is sand of little fertility. Top soil and fertilizers will bo brought from every Dutch colony, and in two or three generations tho depression will bo brought to tho level of tho canals, Whero once tho sea flowed unrestricted there will be green gar dens aud farms, dotted with cottages and towns, and canals covered with heavily laden burgee. Holland will have spent $30,000,000 iu completing this enterpriso, but buo will have added 8(i00,000,000 to her national wealth, and will have demon strated afresh the moral greatness of a peoplo who, in tho face of suoh tro- mendous national disadvantages, have tho patience to compel earth to yield her treasures. Latcrary Digest. A New Antic Idea. A plan is proposed for reaching tho North Fole by cutting through fields of ice. Tho craft is not unlike tho whalcbnck in appearanco, and is made of edecl, heavily riveted, braced and etrengt honed to tho last limit, iu order to withstand tho buffeting incidont lo such a perilous undertaking. At tho bow of the boat is located what, for lack ot a better name, is called an ico destroyer, which is composed of a combination of toothed wheels not uu- like circular taws. Theso wheels, by revolving rapidly, cut the ice into fragments and open the way through tho most solid fields. The idea would suggest itself to tho critical reader that this might be very well, provided tho ico was reasonably thin and thcro could be any assurance, in caee of acoident, that the vessel could be gotten out of its rigid en vironment, lint supposing it was ncccssnry to back out and tho ioe had frozen solid behind it, or if it simply cuts a passage wide enough to get through and thcro were an obstaclo iu the way of proceoding, how is tho ves sel to turn around and got out? Tho world is full of tho most brilliant in ventions, which nro perfootly right and satisfactory if all goes well, but there must invariably be loft a wide margin for acoidonts and incidents out of tho common. A piooe of meohauism is not complete, perfect or practical unless it provides to a certain extent for emergenotes. Cold Caves. In the, southern and western part of Missouri, especially iu tbo Ofotrk re gions, there are many irregular- shaped openings iu tho earth, which the logical geologists term "blow holes" or "cold caves," and from which cold blasts ot air are constantly lssuiug. Ouo of the unique theories advanced to accouut for tho blowiug phenomenon is that the temperature of tho cave is abnormally reduced by the ammouia in tho enormous deposits of bat manure. Whenever tho out side atmosphere is above a temperature of forty -live degrees rahronheit tucso "blow holos may be found at work.
