The rate at which wheat is being exported
from San Francisco to Liverpool, direct, may
be estimated from the shipments and char
tiers on Thursday, December 80, which are
reported In the Alta Collaboration of Dec.
81. "shiP Two Brothers, Liverpool, 80, 298
sacks wheat, value $65, 900 /; ship ST. James,
Liverpool, 37,8lb sacks wheat, value $62,-
$50; bark Cordova, 52l tons, chartered to
load wheat for Liverpool" Estimating the
sacks at not more than two bushels each,
and allowing for the chartered bark in pro.
portion the reports show a movement OF
about 200, 900 bushels Of wheat for direct
importation on that day.
That is, perhaps, somewhat greater than
the average movement from that port; but
comparison of the direct exports OF Wheat
from San Francisco to Great Britain for the
last half of 1860, as compared with 1868,
shows 3,327,i97 centals In the last six
months of 1869, against l,697,3s centals in
the last six months Of 1868, an increase OF
direct exports of wheat to Liverpool Of loo
per cent. In addition to this 1t must be
borne in mind, that the Oregon Wheat which
| last year was all sent down to San Francisco
has now begun 10 move direct from Portland
| to Liverpool.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Cow MILKERs.
Mr.. d. B. Higgins, whose place Of
business Is now in this city, sends us
sample OF COW mixer, small ivory tube,
with one end closed and rounded of, and
having orl1ces near that end. The inven-
tors idea is, that cows teat being formed
with sack or reservoir for milk at Its up
per extremity, into which the end OF the
tube ia Inserted, the milk has only to now
out through the artificial channel All that
is necessary is to insert the four tubes into
the four teats and the milk runs out into the
bucket, all at tho same time. We hear OF q
Pennsylvania dairyman who has tried them,
and is pleased. He says TIE milk ran out
In steady stream, till the cow was MIXED
clean; and she never raised her foot, as II
he operation was unpleasant.
KENT Co. FARMERS CIuB.
We printed, in the News Department,
last week, report of the final adjournment
of the old "Kent County Agricultural So
ciety,n and Its consolidation with the Lew
Farmers Club" of the County. This is
wise step; the two organizations were moi
both needed.
RAIsINa Pork.
Walker Hopes, OF Lima, Delaware
County, recently slaughtered two Chester
White hogs, 10 months old, weighing, re
spectively. 552 lbs. and 40 lbs. They wer'
fed on slops, till September, and since then
with meal, which was sometimes scalded
Mr.. Hayes believes, from his own exper
fence in the business, that with pork at II
cents (present prices), IL is much more pro
fitab,e to feed com to pigs than to sell it a
Slips bushel.

WILL FERTILIZERS PAY ?
INTERESTING DISCUSSION

The Kent County Agricultural Club met
in Dover on Saturday the 9Th inst, large
number of members being present, and
Charles Brown, ESQ.,, President, in the
chair.
A code Of Bylaws and Rules of order
were adopted.
Mr.. Fulton announced that the Peninsula
Fruit Growers Association would hold
meeting in Dover, on Tuesday the 18th of
February, to which he invited all interested
in fruit growing.
The President then stated that the topic
for discussion at the present meeting was.
FERTILIZERS" and that Messrs. Hayes,
Comegys, Lyons, and Underwood had been
selected 10 conduct the debate.
Mr.. Manlove Hayes in introducing the
subject for discussion said he had but few
remarks to make, and was more solicitous of
obtaining information from others,in regard
TO the action Of the various kinds of bought
fertilizers on the soils of Kent county than
to occupy the time of the Club by giving his
experience which had been limited of late to
the application of two or three kinds at
most.
From an imperfect estimate he was salts
fled that 1000 tons of phosphate manures
were sold in Kent county last year, averaging
at least $50 per ton, amounting in the aggre
gate to 100000. Now just so far as the an
plication of these substances TO our crops
has failed to pay in the increase of product:
and improvement of the soil, we have
lost by the expenditure. None of these
fertilizers were manufactured in this Coun
ty, consequently all the money applied t,
such purchases has passed into the hands o
the manufacturers and gone to benefit othe
communities.
Mr.. Hayes then read from the report o
Thomas b. Coursey.who had been appointe,
by the Kent County Agricultural Society il
1868 TO make experiments with the titferen
fertilizers in use, and ascertain which wa
the best adapted to the soil.
The President here reminded Mr.. Have
that his time (ten m nutes) had expired, bu
by unanimous consent he was allowed I
proceed.
From the report of Mr.. .Coursey it appear
that he commenced his experiments on
plot of land containing eight acres in 1855
and used the phosphates then in use, sever,
of which are yet in the market.
Mr.. Coursey experimental with eight v,
rieties of the leading phospha,es then in us
allowing an acre for the trial OF each yariet,
the experiments running from 1858 to 1885,
inclusive.

Stanton.

Ever since the death of E. M. Stan
ton, his friends and enemies have been
praising and abusing him. The former
laud him as the greatest, purest and
truest man who ever lived while the
latter say he has gone right to hell
We think both are wrong. We ad-
mire the great work done by this man
during the rebellion, while he was Sec
retary of War. We feel grateful to
him, and to Gen. Batter, Gen. Logan,
and many other Democracts, who re-
fused to follow their party into treason.
While we commend Secretary Stanton
for what he did subsequent to 1860, we
cannot quite forget what he was before
that time He was one of the lawyers
who defended Sickles for the murder OF
Key, and it is said that when the mur-
derer was cleared, he shouted for joy.
He sustained the infamous and unholy
Fugitive Slave Law, and the outrages
in Kansas. We admire St. Paul He
was a great and good man. bat we can
never forget that he was once Saul Of
Tarsus, and put the Christians to death,
even encouraging the mob that mur-
dered Stephen, holding their clothes
while they stoned him. No wonder
that he always felt thorn in his flesh
while he lived.

adopt either method to the exclusion

think this is the better way.
But better way still, l think, is to
select some paragraph in prose, or verse
in poetry, and have the pupil copy it.
Point out the difficult words and have
them to write them with their defni-
tions, as they are in the spelling books
and dictionaries Thus they learn
the connection in which the word is
ased, the definition, and have combined
with this lesson in punctua ton. The
teachers time is not taken up in giving
out the words and waiting till they are
written, but the work of writing and
spelling goes on, and only little time
is required for the teacher to inspect
the work after it is done.
The teacher should, of course, be a
rigid inspector, and use every means to
make the pupil careful, that the work
may be done correctly. In order tha
he may be this, it is necessary for the
teacher to be a good speller, and un-
'derstand punctuation.

Smelling.

There is a great diversity Of opinion
as to which is the best method of teach
ing spelling, the oral or the written
method. Some are in favor of one,
some the other, and some are for COM
bining the two,
Some favor the oral method because
"they can get over more ground" by
it. They claim that the pupils can
spell six words orally while they can
only write one, have compelled
many of them TO admit that good oral
spoilers are often wretched spoilers
when they write, They account for
this by saying that their "attention is
divided" between how to write the
word and how to spell it, and so they
may write it wrong, while they know
how to spell it correct orally.
The long and short Of the matter is,
they want practice in writing to enable
them to write readily. Practice them
