Few Knots That Will Stay Tied and That Are Easily Intieil. The knots represented in the annexed cut appeared originally in h little pam phlet entitled "Manilla Hope." In this pamphlet the following information is furnished: These knots are known by name as hero indicated: A. bight of a rope: is. simple or overhand knot: C, ii;,mre knot; D. double knot: E. boat knot: F. bowline, first step: U. bowline, second Step: II, bowline, completed: 1, square . or reef knot: J, sheet bend or weaver's knot: K, sheet bend with a toggle: L. I Carrick bend: 11. stevedore knot com pleted: N, stevedore knot cmiiiiienced ; O, slip knot: P. Flemish loop: Q. chain knot with toggle; R. half hitch: S. tim ber hitch: T, clove hitch: U, rolling hitch: V. timber hitch and half hitch V. Dlackwall hitch: X. tislu-nnairs bend: Y. round turn and half hitch: Z. wall knot commenced: AA. wall knot completed; DB, wall knot crown com menced: CC. wall knot crown com pleted. The principle of a knot is that no two parts, which would move- in the same direction if the rope were Id slip, should lie alongside of and touching each other. i The bowline is one of the most useful knots: it will not slip, and after being ! strained is easily untied. It should tie tied with facility by every one who handles rope. Commence by making a bight in the rope, then put the end through the bight and under the staml- aiemory Refreshed. j "Grindstone, do you believe all these stories about hailstones falling out west as big as walnuts?"

In response to iv request from the Salem fM -I hoard of floriculture, ei- porimonta were planned by the director out swannin of tho New Jersey Agricultural station to tost tho relative value of like amounts of phosphoric acid in tho form of bone- black or South L arolina rock, and wheat was selected as the crop. The experi ments were carried out on four farms in Salem county and on tho college farm. The farma in Salem county are all under laid by marl beds. From six to nine tenth-acre plots were used in each ex periment. A mixture furnishiivj rifteen pounds of uitroen and twenty pounds of potash per acre was applied on all the plots. In addition to this, Jj;.0 pounds of bonehlaek (containing 19.6 per cent. I available phosphoric acid) or 440 pounds of dissolved South Carolina rock (con taining 111.49 per cent, available phos phoric acid) were applied ou all the plots except two or three, which received uo phosphate. The yields and financial re sults ure tabulated for each experiment. The v.ilue of crops on those plots fertil ized with phosphoric acid from either boueblack or South Carolina rock were practically identical. The widest differ ence in value of crops. f.48 per acre, is shown on the college farm. besides the refuse they leave i:i end upon the land in the form of root or leaves or stubble, a far larger proportion uf the crop proper commonly goea b-ick to the land in the form of manure than is the case with the grain crops. The s'rawof tho grain, it is true, is usually mturncd to the soil in the manuro, bat according to the authority quoted, exp'.iug as re gards potash, straw has comparatively little fertilizing power, and the grid a is usaallysold off the farm. Actop of tur- 1 nips or of clover, on the cn r.r.-y , is con- j sunied upon the farm, so hnt the great er part of the nitrogen and Uio whole of the mineral constituent-, aro .etu.ned to the soil. Shallow Cultivation for Coru. Corn is a native of a warm climate, and the roots grow near the surface iu search of heat. Deep rooting dot;s as sist in warding off the ill effects of dry weather, but an inch or two of tine earth mulch is very effective. This is gotten by repeated stirrings of the smface. Jt retards the evaporation of moUiuro by breaking up the capillaries in the -arth, and holds the water iu the soil. All in jury to the roots of a plant retards the growth of the top, and it is only by shallow cultivation that this can be pre vented. On most soils we are learning, says Field and Farm, to let com roots feed in the warm ground near the sur face, watching to keep them protected by an earth mulch. -Harpers Bazar.

Full sheets of foundation in sections are preferred by nineteen out of twenty three correspondents iu The American Bee Journal. It is told in Gleanings in Bee Culture that a colony of bees may exist for fifty years or longer. In garrets they have been known to live for many years with out it should be ur.der- ator .1 that the individual bees and queens live no longer than the average the continuance of the colony expending upon the infusion oi new blood. At the Ohio beekeepers convention, composing the different kinds of comb honey as to toughness of comb, Mr. Muth said linden comb is very tender, hence liable to be broken in shipment: clover not so teuder, and alfalfa very tough. Cost of producing honey was discussed at the Colorado state convention.
