A Principle of Life Illustrated. Tliera are 'certain plants tho dod der, for instance, which begin life with the best lntontiong, strike true roots Into the soil, and really appear as if they meant to.bo Indopondont for life. But after supporting themsolvos for a brief period they fix curious- sucking discs into the stem and branches of ad jacent plants. And after a little ex perimenting the epiphyte finally ooasos to do anything for its own support, thenceforth drawing all Its supplies ready made from the sap of Its host. In this parasitic stato it has no need lor organs of nutrition of its own and naturo takes thorn away. Thonce forth the dodder is a plant without a root, without a twig, without a leaf, and having a atom so useless as to be inadequate to bear its own woight. Prof. Drummond.

The quickest and simplest method of utilizing old bones Is to burn them In the kllchen stove and carefully save the ashes. In this war vou trot in tha ash all tiie phosphoric acid and Umo there Is in the bone, but you lose the nitrogen, whlvh goes off as gas in the smoke. Where tbe qimrwlty of bones Is small, however, and especially If the facilities required for other methods of rising them aro uoit at hand, and If the bones cannot be sold at a fair price. this burning of them Is far batter than to permit them to go to waste. Bono makes an Intense heat, and as far as It goes Is a valuable fuel. Every thrifty farmer saves nil tho wood ash from tho house, for It Is so rich In phosphoric acid and potash that not a pound of it should bo wasted, but every bit of wood nsh (whether containing bone ash or not) should be religiously preserved. Every intelligent and thrifty farmer knows the value of a dressing of rich wood ash and fine bone meal. Except for the loss of nitrogen by burnlna. this home-made crtmbfnatlon of wood ash and bone ash wfil accomplish nearly as gooa resrults as the famous unleached wood ash and bone meal mixture.

A cow that produces 2,325 quarts yields- within a fraction of 5.000 bounds. A good cow should produce 6,000 pounds of 8.75 to 4 per cent. milk. At $ cents a quart the cash value of o,uw pounds of. mnu is ?09.75. With good farm management such cowb should be kept for $40, which leaves a profit above the cost of tho feed of $20.75.

Hoard's Dulrymaa Very many people nro fond of a rood garden, but think they can pot keep chickens and have a garden, too, The Maine fanner tells of a poultrymon who Is noted for success in producing vege tables. He grows twice as mnch on an acre as formerly, ne keeps 100 fowls, and has two lots of ground, ono belnrr given up to fowls, while tho other is used for garden, the lots being about One and A quarter acres each. The next year he turns the fowls on the ffnrdon plat and uses for a garden tho pint then vacated by tho fowls. By thus giving np tho garden plat to poultry every alternate year ho keeps the soil very rertno.

Always In dlrglng an nnderdraln the lowest subsoil, often solid, hard and without vegetable mold, Is more or less mixed with that dug near the surface, and which Is usually richer. In filling the ditch this mixture continues, so that the soil that was dug from the bot tom of the ditch may often be in the last spadeful thrown in. Yet it never ha9 been known to make any differ ence. Always crops of any kind show a better growth directly over the drain than they do on either side, even dur ing the first Season's growth. After a year or two the good effect of the drain extends to and on either side, as the soil freezes deeper when surplus water Is romoved from It, and the roots of plants can go deeper for moisture Or plant food.
