Gypsum seems to be a special fertil
izer for clover and other leguminous
plants, lis lieiielleinl i-l'i'ecls are more
apparent on some soils than mi others,
hut the same limy lie staled of lime or
ready-mixed fertilizers, ns conditions
and circumstances affect the Uses of
all plant foods, but there is no fertil
izer known that gives such excellent
results with so small a qnaiiiiiy of ma
terial used, and at so low a cost. It
can lie purchased at less than half the
price of some fertilizers, aud in i.v be
used in smaller qiiuntiiy. It is not
claimed that gypsum is a substitute
for complete fertilizer, for sueli is not
the case, but for supplying lime iu a
soluble form to those plants into which
lime largely enters ;is an es-ential to
their growth it has no superior. In
every tou of gypsum there is a little
over liltlil pounds of lime. One thou
sand pounds of red clover hay contain
about tweiily-eight pounds oi' lime ami
live pounds of sulphuric acid. There
is about the s.-iine pruporl ion of lime
In the Held K'a, and nearly twice as
much in alfalfa, while the tops of pota
toes contain uiAre lime Hun of any
other mineral matter. Turnips, car
rots and parsnips also contain fair pro
portions, the leaves of turnips espe
cially being rich in lime. It is iriie tiiat
ordinary lime will supply the required
quantity, hut nut so quickly as will
plaster, and it may be added that Ui
pounds of lime would hardly show any
effect, while the same quantity of plas
ter would he ample for an acre. The
actual effect of gypsum ou soils is not
so l.pparellt as for bine, because the
quantity of gypsum usi d is much less,
but it is know n that, like all sulphates,
its chemical act ion on soils is mi,-1i as

Women are divided In their opinions
Upon the subject of the veil, but where
you will tind one to maintain that such
nn ndorniiieiit fades the complexion
you will tind ten to aver thai no penal
tics would prevent them from wearing
the adornment.
Co and ask an oculist his opinion,
mill what he has to say on the topic is
to plump condemnation upon every
veil that is worn. Yet be will admit
Unit, while some nets are extremely
dangerous and deleterious to the eyes,
others are almost iininjurious.
There are fashions in nets and
gauzes, nml many are the variations
wiih which the veil is worn. Hut In
Ihigiitnd it always covers the eyes, and
It is here that the danger arises.
