ABBIflllLTOEiL I O Protection Against Cold. V Double-glazed windows , are nearly fcqual to brick walls as protection againsf cold, but the glazing should fbe done on a dry day and in a dry place, so as not to inclose moi&t air, .which might cause mistiness between luxe panes cf glass. 4 - t - True Test of a Coir. 'A high record for. seven days, is not always a good one, so far as showing the actual value of the cow I is con-. cerned. The true test of a cow is the number of pounds of butter, she pro duces in a year an d its cost. The re sults for a single week may be from excessive feeding, with extra cost for labor; but such cows, however, are usually capable of giving good results if or a month or year 'also. ; .' Potash in Plant Growth, f It said that tobacco contains a larg ier amount of potash than any other, of . our common crops, or v about-forty arts in -a thousand, forage beets or mangels thirty-five parts, potatoes .twenty parts, sugar beets I eighteen parts, clover hay nineteen parts, beans thirteen parts and the cereals five parts, ffo this we will add that the cereal grains of a well-grown, crop .usually show about four tines as much of potash in the straw as in the grain, jthus as the straw is the heavier, re quiring twenty-five to thirty parts of potash for each one thousand parts i ipf grain, beans and peas require much snore in the stalk than in the seed, and the potash in the stalk of the potato is a greater proportion than in the tuber, but the weight being less, the whole does not vary much from the above estimate. The tobacco gives a better leaf for cigar making when sulphate of potash is used than when muriate or some of the cheaper grades are used. On certain soil the sulphate also produces a better potato for table ,usc, while cd ojhers there does not seem to be much difference in results. Some c J our sandy soils are well sup plied with the silicate cf potash, but there is apparently a greater difference in the ability cf different plants to teeparatc the! potash from the silica or ito use them together. Wo need more Investigation in regard to the use of potash, but we can re3t assured that if used freely it ; does not evaporate, leaeli away or cnange to an unavail able form. The Cultivator. I L.

Farm and Home, Perishable CuriosIUc.w In - Mexico the billing cf railroad freight requires a knowledge and pre cision which can only be attained by years of practice. This is due- to the peculiar Classification of various ar ticles and the different rates of cus toms duties. A case recently occurred which severely taxed the ingenuity of the station-agent, although he Ural ly succeeded in meeting all reQuire mcnts. The town was overrun with tramps, and the council determined that steps must be taken to rid the city of thein. It was finally decided to round theo up and ship them out of the country. It would be too c-pensive to purchase tickets, so they concluded to biro stock cars and ship their tramps as freight. The cars were procured and by the aid of the police the tramps were gath ered;but theo the question arose as to how the shipment should be designated on the bill of lading. The term "persons could rot bs used, as it would conflict with the State law relative to proper accommo dations for the travelog public, and it would also be in violation of the com pany's rules governing the rates cf passenger traffic. "Marketable com modities" would not do, as that would subject the carload to a heavy duty upon crossing the tariff zone. Again, they would have to be c!assificd as "perishable," or the Cespatcher night order the cars side-tracked along the line. ' . . But fortunately thcr 3 is a easterns law which exempts certain kinds of c uriosities frco duty, and so, after much consideration, the tramps were billed and forwarded as so many hun dredweight of "perishable curiosities unfit to cat." Hi Hard Uncle. It is not unusual for persons indict ed for crime in this jurisdiction to plead guilty, but very seldom does It happen that a prisoner who admits that he has been rightly accused is com pelled to enter, a rlca of not guilty. Such . an incident 'occurred hers -recently , . ' ;v- It was desired to make a test case in order to secure a ruling from the Ap pellate Court on a knotty legal propo sition. A certain colored iadividnal who was in the toils was selected' to furnish; framework for the issne. Hel was cscortdd into court for arraign ment Prior ; to that formality; ' how ever, the prosecuting officer took the precaution to remark: "Of course, you aro going to plead not guilty." Sucli a plea was essential in order- to take the matter before the higher cotirtN The response was a surprise and somewhat disconcerting, for the attor neys and the court were anxious to go ahead with the test proceeding. .Tic prisoner declared : "Fse guilty, an I wants to be sentenced right here r.n now." This disarranged the rrcgrax-i very decidedly , ;, -":-. -; It required the combined persuasive efforts of ; the prosecrtlag" oQcer.cnd the counsel assigned to represent the defendant ti induce the latter" ti can sent tj fleaa not guilty.
