Worn Out Lands. A writer in the Southern Cvllivotor tells of a farm he owns in Tennessee where the fields are badly worn out and washed out by many years' culti vation. 1 urned out fields are grown to sedge, briers and Implies, and have many washed out gullies. A century or lees of cultivation, so-called, has done this, and he now is experiment ing with graspes, to find some way to make available pasture and return the soil to Uaefulnees. He fays there are hundreds of millions of acres in simi lar condition. It is well enough for the people who commence to till a new soil to look ahead to what the land they own may come as a poor inheri tance for their heirs, and try to follow some method of farming that can pre serve tome degree of fertility, rather than exhaust its virtues and thereby beggar their heirs. There are many farms m this beautiful and fertile val ley that have aheady lost so much productive power as to not brine nearly so good crops as in the beginning, mere is no pro nt leit in growing staple crops on such land, and the question is : How long will it be be fore cropping such land will ceae, and it be "turned out'' like IhoHe worn nut lands in TennestieeT It is poskible to pursue a profitable system of rotation, with clover as a restorer, when closer will grow, or by putt ng land to glass and feeding stock on the land, and by prudent management prevent the continuance of such waste as has been practiced here. There is downright wickedness in destroying the fertility that his been accumulating for untold aces To do this lgnoranily and blindly is bad enough, but the world has reached common-sense knowledge of soils and their management that no man can be ignorant of, unless he is blind to all sense and deaf to all reason. Robbing the toil should be made a worse crime than felony.. 4 RUSKIN'S ROMANC2. now mo unit crltle Mr,.M Divorced from liu u., J.h.n,IRu8ki,n did 8traK-lr , ward thing when he consent, married.

The mobt profitable crops are not those that give the largest yields, but which bring the highest price, compared with the cost. Pig pens should not be on the same location every season. By having them movable much valuable manure can be secured from the saturated earth around the old sites, while the change to fresh places will greatly promote cleanliness and health.

"False blossoms," or "rose bloceom" on the blackberry (peculiar to the Wilson especially) is caused by a worm naicneu irom eg;,'s deposited by a winged insect. The canes should be cut below the enlargement caustd by the worms, in the fall, and burned, in crder to destroy the insect.

It uu? not only be employed for blastit; operations in mines and in quarries. Lut nlo in gnns for filling torpedo The preparation is carried out in uri a m.-iiiTH-r that nitrate of ainmouia i inixed with melted purified solid hydro carbon, and is gelatinized wilh liqui! hydrocarbon, or with only one with more molted hydrocarbons. By aieaiiS of the guUiitiniaauon, eaeh par ticle of tlm suit is iiupHi'iuiiably incliiw! lua layer of gelantiiious material, ' that the hygrnHcopical properties of tie nitrate of aiiinionia inho open air ar prevented. Among the solid hyJro crtrbimsr hii uses napliiliiiliiie, jiarafllM and the like, and among the liquii hydrowirboiiH he uses puriuVd afline or astral oil. In order to facili tate the explosion or discharge of th substance, and Ui increase its explosive power, he adds there to finely powdered chlorate of potash either in its par .tate or after it has been gelantinufd in the same manner as the nitrate ol ammonia. The salts treated in thi mannpr when mixed together do M come in direct contact with o another. It is stated that the explosive thoi prepared has. at least, as great por as any heretofore ordinarily manu factured, and that it posessos a greatr amount of safety than they, whether in the course of manufacture or whe being transported or manipulated. ta Sjoberg explosive being only capabl of being exploded in an enclosed spac. and bv means of a strong fuse cap The explosive is, moreover, thoroughly insensible to the aelion of cold. Other salts of ammonia mav be used A modification i if I lip nmnau rnlisiitt in the nitrate of ammonia gelantiiuVd as described by means of hydrocarbos beinu mixed with whey (or cbeeiT matter. su?ar of milk, or the like) obtained frnni milk, after the prepara tion bas boen subjected to treatment with two parts of nitric acid of 1-W w 1.A0 and four part of sulphuric acid of 1.82 to 1.84 spt'eific gravity to one par of the substance, the siiperfliioiis acid being removed by washing. The prod uct nbtained by this method is a grJ powder insoluble in water, w hich ca" be easily exploded by means of dynamite fuse rap. and can be u'j either as a substitute for chlorate J pot;i.sh or alone as an explosive.
