What is Majtcm? Anything which
upon being applied to the soil, causes it
to produce a more abundant crop, U
manure. Manure is of three kinds,
natural, mental and mechanical. Nat
ural manure Is anything which being
decomposed assists the earth to support
plant life. It was nature's original
agent in preparing the barren waste,
whii-h nur earth formerly was. as a fit-
ting abode for man. The progress of
decay and death in the animal and veg
otshlA kintrdnms. is the onlT mode of
creating natural manure. The final
destiny of all animal and vegetable life
is to be transformed to natural manure.
This is the beginning as well as the
enHino- of all earthly ehinsrs.
Mental manure is brains not the ani
mal composite which we call our brains
but the active, creative principle wui
is th tniidinff oower of man. and which
when applied to the operations of farm
ing, produces the third kind of manure
the mechanical.
Mechanical manure is the result of
brains applied to rural affairs. Me
chanical manures are of more real value
to the farmer than either or both of the
other two. Mechanical manures con
sist of plows, harrows, cultivators,
rollers, spades, shovels, rakes, etc.
If the farmer hooks on to the me
chanical manures, guides them by
a thorough application of the mental
manure, and stirs ud the natural ma
nure, he farms uiideretandingly, he
loosens ud the soil, the life-giving at
mosDhere enters in, heat and moisture,
in contradistinction to cold and wet,
nervades the earth, nature asserts her
nrerosrative. seeds find themselves in
congenial element, the growing crop
rl the treble impetus, matures, and
nmM tit harvest abundantly.
All these manures are dependent
nnnn one another. It is first necessary
to cover the earth with the natural,
then the mental comprehends the ne
iwuitiM of the case and aDDlies itself to
the good work, and calling in the aid of
ner oldest son, tne mecuaiuuu, bv
ninulatea nur mother earth, that smiles
spread over her whole face, finally
bursting in a laugh of golden joy which
rings through all the nappy nanesi.
And thus mav we three meet again.

Mils and Bm:f. Food is the support
of the cow, that is her system, and the
calf she carries, or the milk afterwards
a substitute. She can digest and use
only a certain amount, r.o more. Now
if there is much milk, the food eaten
and digested will mostly go to form
this and it requires good feeding to
produce and keep up this large flow of
milk, as with the Ayreshire, the Jersey
and in many instances the native cow.
This is evidence against the idea enter
tained by some that both milk and flesh
(including fat) can be secured at their
maximum in the same animal. To di
vide equally the food that is digested so
as to give the milk one half, and the
flesh and fat, etc., the other, could not
possibly, it seems to me afford a maxi
mum quantity of milk, and, at the same
time, a full development of beef.
It is true that some animals, like
some of the short horns, afford a good
carcase, and in addition, a large flow of
milk, as they are good digesters. At
the same time these animals never get
fat whilst producing largely of milk.
It is as a rule is it not universally the
case, that the milk must be stopped
when the animal Is to be fattened
stops itself, indeed, at the time of fat
tening. Besides, there is an aptitude
for milk or fat, which is in bred. We
breed the one in the Ayreshire, the
other in the short horn. This aptitude
must consist in applviug the food for
the purpose intended, either for pro
ducina- lat or milk.
The stomach is the means of carrying
out either the one or the other of these
Durooses. to convert all the food it can
and the quantity cannot be made sulti-
cient to carry out both purposes to their
highest extent unless the digestive ca
pacity is increased sufficiently. This,
it strikes me, is the point. Increase
the digesting and the two may be car
ried, aided by breeding for the two. Or
either may be correspondingly extended
the milk increased in the milking
strain, or the flesh and fat in the other,
Why Treks Die. A practical tree
planter says : I once called at the store
of a merchant who had a couple of days
previous, obtained some trees from the
nursery. There stood the trees with
bare roots exposed to a dry wind. When
asked why his trees were not in the
ground, he replied that it had not yet
been convenient to plant them, so he
had put them in a nice cool place where
the fresh wind coum nave a goou
chance at them, and ended with the
complacent inquiry as to whether it
was not the best that he could have
done with them. lie had no idea how
the wind was evaporating the moisture
from the exposed roots, and bow soon
tbey would become utterly worthless.
Just in this same thoughtless manner
many a customer from the nursery ex
poses his trees to a dry wind or to the
sun, and then if they fail to grow he
blames his nurserymen for it. Let the
purchasers of trees remember that the
roots belong in tne ground ana must oe
kept fresh until they are planted.
Rolling Clovkr Laxd. In treating
of "clover-sick soil." Mr. Bruce, au
Aberdeenshire farmer states that in
some districts of Scotland, the clover
plant dies out after takins root. Hav
ing noticed in several fields where this
occurred that there was a good growth
of plants near the gate, and head and
endridsre. which was much trodden
upon, Mr. Bruce procured a heavy
roller and rolled the field twice before
puttine in the crass seeds. The exper
iment was perfectly successful, a full
plant of clover being the result although
the field had for years before shown
sizns of sickness. 'I be farmer got a
roller which weiehed fifteen cwt., and
rolled his fields, leaving in one field a
ridee which was not rolled, in order to
prove the efficacy of the operation. The
result was that, while there is auu nu
ance of clover where the soil was rolled
on the rid ire that was left unrolled
scarcely a plant is to be seen.
It requires ten or twelve acres of
land to support one person on meat
alone; for one acre employed in feed
ing cattle only produces eight or ten
ounces per day, and it requires from
five to ten pounds of flesh a day to sup
port one man if he live on flesh alone.
The quantity of land required to keep
one ox will produce an abundant sup
ply of vegetable food for at least four
persons. One acre of wheat, barley,
oats, or corn, will support two or three
persons; one of potatoes or yams,
enough nourishment for nine persons ;
and Ilumboldt estimates that an acre
planted with bananas is sufficient to
support fifty men.
Coal Asres. Bliss, the seednian re
commends the use of coal ashes for po
tato patches, and says that persons who
are in the habit of throwing ashes away
as useless are making a great mistake;
that they are found by experience to be
of great benefit in the culture of pota
toes. Many ashes are dumped in the
streets and alleys, when tbey could be
used to improve the soil of gardens.
Save your ashes and use them for the
purpose of manure. Wood ashes are
counted among the first fertilizers, and
they command a good price from those
who know their value.
Eabxt Irish potatoes niped by the
spring frost, if the vine is immediately
cut off. before the sun begins to scorch
the tops, will escape iojury ; but a bet
ter and more economical plan is to go
to the patch with a good turning plow,
and throw the dirt up so as to entirely
cover the frostbitten vines. This plan
will save thousands of dollars every
year, if followed.

Liaht. Considerable atten
tion has been given in Paris to a new
lamp, the invention of Messrs. B. De
lachanal and A. Monet, and intended
for photographic and other purposes
where a brilliant light is required.
Carbon-sulphide and binoxide of ni
trogen are employed. Ignition of bin
oxide of nitrogen, containing vapor of
carbon-sulphide, produces a brilliant
flame ot violet-blue tint, peculiarly
rich in chemical rays. The carbon
sulphide lamp, by which this flame is
produced continuously, is constructed
simply of a flask with two tubulures.
the vessel having about 300 cubic cen
timeters capacity. The flask is filled
with spongy fragments ot coke, or,
better, of dried pumice, which imbibes
thA rarhnn-MiIiihitle. Through the
central tubulure passes a tube to with
in a short distance of the bottom ; in
the other mouth or tubulure is fixed
a tube of large diameter, about ) cen
timeters in length. The latter is a
s-lana r metaL and contains an ar
rangement acting as a safety-valve, as
well as impeding return ot the gas ana
preventing explosion, cinoxiae 01 ni
trogen is passed by this tube into the
flunk- and tha e-aaenus mixture is con
ducted by a caoutchouc tube to a kind
of Bunsen burner.from which has been
removed the air-port and the cone re
gulating the supply of gas. The bi
noxide ot nitrogen is prouucea o
flnim-Ile villa apparatus, but instead
of decomposing nitric acid by copper,
hwh vnum tm too exnenmve. a tuia-
ture of nitric and sulphuric acid is
caused to act upon iron.
Thn flame, which is about cenu
meters in height, possesses high photo
genic properties, and is much superior
to the light obtained from the magne
sium ribbon. The apparatus is nearly
as portable, the mixed acids being con
tind in one vessel, which communi
cates by a tube with a vessel containing
fragments of iron. Supply is reguiateu
by a cock. The flame is constant, un
like that of the electric light, and is
not subjected to spontaneous ex
tinctions, like the magnesium lamp.
Photographs of human subjects are ob
tained in less exposure than 14 seconds.
Photometric tests show, (name for
flame, per measure) about twice the
power of the oxy-hydrogen light. The
inventors have been studying the
nnoarinn nf lVf.lnnilient of the gTeen-
coloring matter of plants by means of
this light, making their experiments in
M. Human' laboratory at the Central
school of Paris.

says the English Jlerlutnic, out one
which does not adequately convey an
idea of the snbjects treated. It has
been known for some time that air

or four days deposits all the floating
particles and becomes optically ciear

A Weiuhind and Calculating Machine.
German mechanical magazines are
lnud in their praise of a scale which, in
determining the weight of goods, also
gives the price of the quantity. It is a
steel vard with sliding weight. The
peculiar mechanism which gives the
price consists of a cylinder placed un
der the long arm of the balance, and
capable of being turned round its lon
is. which is parallel with the
arm. The cylinder is in part of its
circumference divided by oblique lines,
and thn divisions thus made are crossed
by lines ruuniog parallel to the long
axis, SO that somewuai lrrvjfuiar quau
rangular figures are formed, and each
of these contains a number. The num
bers between any two lines run from
1 nn to 10 or other n a tuber, while be
tween every two of the oblique curved
lines there are always equal num
bers. The interval between the cross
lines corresponds to that of the divi
sions of the arm. When goods are to
be weighed, the cylinder is turned un
til the number upon it corresponds to
the unit of weight of the goods. After
weivhinir. the running weiirht on the
yard arm is found opposite the number
on the cylinder, which coi responds to
the value of the ouantitv weighed.

Pretuwre of the atmosphere is now
applied to the raising of coal in the
Creuzot district in France. The air is
exhausted from a hollow tube running
along the shaft troni the bottom to the
top of the colliery. At the foot of this
tube is a piston fitted to it, and suppor
ting a cage into which the coal to be
raised is nut. When the rage is full
the air from the mine is allowed to
press noon the piston beneath, and
there being a vacuum above the piston
and the cage, the load is borne noward
to the surface. Not only is the coal
raised in this way, but the ventilation
of the mine is vastly improved, for the
contaminated air of the colliery flows
up through the tube, bearing the loaded
cage above it. while its place is sup
plied by an overflow ot fresh air from
the surface.

taken freely by consumptive patients,
it must do great injury; for its tendency
is to confine the morbid matter in the

cure impossible. Schenck's Pulmonic
