KING, HARMON h Co-While in Chicago
recently, looking up items Of interest to our
business men, we visited the immense dry
goods house Of Messrs. King, Harmon 4
Go situated at Nos. IS and % Randolph
street, and Mr.. Montgomery with much po-
liteness showed US over the entire establish
meut. This house does . very large jobbing
trade throughout Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin
and Minnesota, and on comparing their
price list with that Of eastern houses we
became satisfied that our dry goods mere
chants can do fully as we'lby buying goods
Of King, Harmon 4 Co., in Chicago, Is in
visiting New York or Boston, and save .
weeks time and railroad fare (no small

tertain the notion that they can only get
goods at the lowest prices in the East, but
we recommend them to call on this house,
and the faIlacy Of this idea will be very
speedily demonstrated.

The GENITAL SYsrEM.-ln the abssnce Of
board Of trade to take steps in practical
changes in the method Of buyiag and sell
ing by the 100 pounds instead Of BY the
bushel, We would suggest that dealers them
selves adopt the system. In I'll cities and
markets Of any importance this system -
been adopted. and the places thas do mot
adopt i. will be greatly inconvenisncsd in
estimating market prices and in otherwise
regulating their prices. This system -
our readers know fixes the standard at 100
pounds wei ght, instead Of bushsl. Thsprs
ent prieess can be reduced to the Genital sys.
TEN very easily by dividing tho cost Of =
bushel Of grain by the number ofpcunds in .
bushel and mu. tiplying BY 100. Thus II .
bushel of wheat is worth q 20 dividing
that by 60 the number Of pounds in bush-
el, gives 81 cents pound and multiplying
by 100 gives $3.66s as the price Of cent
al. Thus it will be seen that when prices
are once regulated according to this stand
ard il will be much better for our markets.
1t is perhaps useles. to enter into detail OF
to describe the workings Of this system. =
II has the acknowledgment Of standing
6rst and Of coming rapidly into use What
do our mllers and dealers say to adopting
il?
In another .column may be found cal
for public meeting to take action upon
this matter. We hope to see full attend
ance, and to see some definite steps taken ir
regard to the matter, 80 that II It is looked
upon with favor these steps may be taken
before the spring business commences.

How TO MAKE SUrER-PHospuATE.-To
one hundred pounds of water in a half
tub, add slowly forty-thrce
pounds of sui phuric acid, (oil of vitrol.) J
To this add one hundred pounds broken
bones. To be stirred occasionally and the
bones will be dissolved in three weeks.
Then add four times its bulk in muck (dry
if you have it.) The tub should be kept
covered. If the material is kept hot,
three days will do it as well as three
weeks, if cold.
To dissolve bones without acid. To a
flour barrel full, put onc-half bushel hard
wood ashes, then alternately layer OF
bones and ashes, ending with ashes; add
water sufficient to wet, but not to drip; /;
brine is much better. In time these bones
will dissolve. This mixture is powerful
