FAIRBANKS SCALEs.--Two brothers, sons
ola miller in the Northern part of Vermont,
having occasion for more convenient meth
cd of weighing a bulky article than by the
old fashion hay scales, contrived more
simple plan. for the mechanism for which
they took out a patent in 1880. The result
was so satisfactory that they applied the
principle, with progr 'ssive improvements to
other descriptions of scales until they now
furnish upwards of one hundred varieties of
scales, the largest of which will weigh a
loaded canal boat of five hundred tons
and SO down to the nic,st bank Or lie wei
scale.
The worldwide reputation of the Fair
banks Scales is owing, first, to the inren-
ious but simple mechanical arrangement, end
next, to the persistent determination of the
proprietors always to sell first rate article
and alta reasonable price Hence their scales
are every where the acllno yledged standard
and at the same time are sought for the CON-
monest uses. BY this means they have
built up model town aroundtheir fathers
Old mill, its character an honor to the
State, and desirable home for the fami-
lies of their several hundred workmen

Mr.. EDrToR:-Some four months ago,
there appeared in your paper, two articles on
the raising of F2as Sect: one from "0nce
a Farmer" the other from ''Burnham & Jag
ger" Of Burlington, since which time the
matter has been dropped.
The time has now srrived when the seed
should be sown, and once more call the
attention of Farmers to this matter, in the
hope that they may he induced to try, if only
for an experiment, this timely crop
Seed can now be had in Ottumwa, as have
for the last few days, noticed it setting at
the Store Doors.
do not agree with "Burnham & jaeger"
in regard to the yield, yet for safety suppose
we put it at 10 bushels per acre, then it is
the best crop raised, if for only one
reason, that is, that it brings the Farmer
money at the very time Of the year when he
needs it most, viz. in harvest time.
In my former article, | said that there
were no mills close by, but learn from Burn
ham & Jaeger article, that there is mill in
Burlington, and the highest market price is
paid for tho seed at their mill, so that the Far
mer can ship to them by the B. & NJ. Railroad,
or sell it here for the cash, just as they
please.
VIII not the Farmers of Wapcllo county,
try five acres, each this year, if they do, my
word for it they will SOW 20 next year.

Insurance.

We regret &c be called upon to announce
that the warehouses of Mccormick & Fuller
and Dudley & Dawson, were entirely con-
su'ncd, with most of their contents, on Sat
mday night last, between and O'Clock
1t is not known how the fire originated, but
it started in package of Drugs in the build
ing of Mccormick & Fuller communi Eating
from that to Dudley & Dawson's, consuming
both in very short time. There were some
1900 bushels Of Corn in the former house,
and a considerable quantity Of goods, mo ty
for Des Moines and Pella. There was no
insurance, we believe, on either The buildings
or the goods. The excrtions Of the citizens
of Agency, who worked Eohlv, alone saved
the Buildings of the b. e NJ. r. Railroad and
Rand's Lumber Yard. Mr. Rand lost his
books. The total loss Of property, including
the buildings and goods, is not accurately
known, owing to the loss of the warehouse
books but we hear it estimated at from 81
to SIS. 900.

AppraisesnaEgt LAW

Eos. GATE Cry You are mistaken i'm
stating that no appraisment bill was passed
by the legislature The Senate substituted
bill in place of the one passed by the House
and that afterwards became law. OF this
t lie writer has the assurance of Mr.. Hedges.
a member Of tho House, and Mr.. Thompson
the Senator from Scott county. The bin
prohibits the sale of any property, real or
personal, except at, or over two thirds its ap
praised value. The Sheriff selects one APP
praiser, the debtor one, and the two thus Sc,
lected select third
In case the debtor fails to select an apprais,
err within certain time, the selection is
made by the Sheriff. An appraisment may
be effected every six months at the debtors
ex Iense, and as often as the creditor wishes
provided in case ola failure TO sell, he pays
his own expenses, A debtor is limited t.
the appraisment remedy, unless he elects re
demption, and then he is confined to the
redemption now provided by law. A salt
after appraisement is final, and the Sheriff
Immediately executes deed.

One ofhe Humanitarian movements ofour
times although little known as such, can har-
dly be over estimated in its Importance upon
the well being of orr widely scat
tered communities. The population
of the American States, is, in many
sections so sparse, that skillful Physicians
are hardly available to them. Vast num-
bers ofpeople, are obliged to employ insic'l-
ness, such medical relief as they can hear of
from each other, or indeed any they can get
from any quarter. Hence arises the great
consumption Of Patent Medicines among us,
greater by far than in any of the old count
ries, where skillful physicians are accessible
to all classes. Unprincipled men have long
availed themselves of this necessity to palm
| OF their worthless nos.rums until the word
has become SYNONYMOUS with imposition and
cheat. One of our leadin, Chemists in the
East, DR.. Ayers, is pursuing a course, which
defeats this iniquity. He brings not only
his own but the best skill ofour time to bear
for the production of the best remedies which
can be made. These are supplied to the
world, in convenient form, at low prices,
and the people will no more buy poor medi-
cines instead ofg,od, at the same cost, than
they will buy brand instead of -four. The
inevitable consequence of this, is, that the
vile compounds that food our country are
discarded for those which honestly accomp,
fish the end in view,--which cure Do we
ever estimate its importance, in believing
that this prospect of supplanting the by
word medicines, with those of actual worch
and virtue, is frought with immense consc-
duence for good, to the masses of our people
