Agricultural College and Model Farm
ofNOrway.


The Agricultural College and Model
Farm of Norway, are at Aas, on the east
Of Christiana Fiord, and 81 miles south
of that city. At the stand where we took
carriage to drive there, we were told it
was mile and half out, but we found
it just twice that, and as q Norwegian
mile is equal to seven of ours, the whole
distance is a three hours drive. The
road, like all the public roads of the
country, is very carefully located, graded
and McAdamized, 80 that the journey is
not by any means unpleasant. The coun.
try passed through is however very un-
promising. In the whole distance l do
not think we saw cultivated land enough
to make a half dozen good farms, and
there were very few inhabitants. 1t wal
the last Of August, and the weather wai
bright and pleasant though an early frost
had already killed all the potatoes.
The College buildings are located upor
farm Of seven hundred acres, and arr
intended to provide for thirty-two stu
dents. 1t is supported by the govern
ment, and students are received from the
different provinces. The qualifications
necessary for admission are, that the can
didate shall be eighteen years old, confirm
ed in the Lutheran Church, and pass Q
satisfactory examination in reading, writ

Feeding Stock.

Feeding Stock.
The Massachusetts, Ploughman says ::
There is very much yet to learn in
regard to the economy of food for stock
and the best methods of supplying it to
the animal. Do you salt your cattle now
that they are shut up in the barn ? You
would not like to be deprived of salt,
would your Do not forget, therefore,
that the animal Graves it as we'll as you.
Besides the food will do moro good if
there is little salt added, or lump of
rock salt within reach. One thousand
pounds Of potatoes fed raw with salt in
creased the weight of the living animal
46t pounds, while the same amount fed
without salt increased it only Al pounds.
One thousand pounds of rye fed with
salt increased the live weight 1873 pounds,
while the same quantity without salt in
creased it only 80 pounds. This ought
to convince every farmer of the economy
of keeping little salt within reach Of
the animal or of supplying it often.

Fires.

1t has been noticeable that fires have
been unusually numerous this winter in
all parts of the country. In our Peninsu-
lar and State news column, several very
destructive fires are mentioned this week.
The severe weather. doubtless. hlS been to
4 large extent the cause of these accidents.
More fuel had to be piled on the fire to keep
out the pinching cold, and parts of build
ings, safe enough nnder ordinary circnm-
stances have had the fires communicated
to them, which stealthily crept into tho
wood work and had destruction insured
before the flames burst forth Such warn
ings should teach the utmost care on the
part of housekeepers. Every tluc which
conveys the smoke from wood fires. should
be thoroughly cleansed of SCOT and exam
nations carefully made, and where wood
is found which by any possibility could
communicate with the fire, or become igni-
ted by proximity to the stove or furnace,
have it at once removed. Defective ilueS
have been the fruitful cause OF the loss OF
more dwellings than any other. Matches
are another source If great danger, espc-
cially if left where children can get them
Many room has been fired by matches, in
the hands of children. Too strict a watch
cannot be kept over fire in dwellings, for
there is nothing more terrible than the
family home and shelter, wrapped in flames,
and the inmates, perhaps, driven out into
the wintry night.

Does 1t Pay.

The State OF Maryland last year granted
licenses to 80 persons in Cecil county to
sell rum, and charged them for the privilege
$2910. The object of granting these
licenses was to raise revenue for the State.
Ben Bolt and George Harris, under the
influence of the poison obtained from one
of the 80 persons thus licensed, murdered
Alexander Russum, and for committing
the crime were tried, convicted and sent to
the penitentiary. Their trial and convic-
ton cost Cecil county $4,000. Without
inquiring what all the crimes committed
directly and indirectly through the infiu-
ence of the rum sold under and by virtue
of these 90 licenses cost the county, we will
rest here, and ask the taxpayers, Does it
pay to license the sale of whisky?
The taxpayers of Cecil county have to
foot the bill of $4,000, while the $2910 arts
ing from licenses is sent to Annapolis and
deposited in the State Treasury to help
defray the expenses of the State Govern
ment, and sc alter round among the numer-
ons charities which the Democratic party
have saddled on the State Treasury since
their advent to power.

inducements to Immigrants.

While the Democratic politicians of this
and other States, further south, pretend to
hold out strong inducements to immigrants
to come among them, a trial seems soon to
satisfy those who are thus trepanned into
trusting the vipers. The Frcensan's Jour-
nal in speaking of this matter refers to
case in point which happened i'll North
Carolina. But short time ago the Democ-
racy of Anne Arundle Co., in this State,
held meeting to discuss the immigration
question, at which they virtually resolved
they wanted none but Democrat immi-
grants to come among them. The follow
ing is the JouruaLs account of the North
Carolina business:
We see in an exchange, the history of
case near Halifax n. G.. A citizen Of New
Jersey purchased, in 1867, 100 acres of
land, paying for it $50 per acre. Every
thing went on prosrerously with this gen.
tleman, and he had greatly improved and
beautified his property.
At the late election. however, he voted
the Republican ticket. The chivalry at
once set to work to ruin him. He had
purchased $3.50 worth of fertilizer from an
agent of a Baltimore company with the
understanding that he would not be pushed
for the money. Having been told by this
agent up to the very day on which his note
was due that the time would be extended.
The day the note for $3.50 was due it was
purchased of the agent by Rebel Demo-
crat and suit at once instituted. This pro-
cess not being rapid enough to suit their
purposes, perjured scoundrei was found
who swore that the Jerseyman was about
disposing of his property to defraud his
creditors. His goods were seized and his
farming operations entirely stopped. His
horses were taken to livery stable and
kept 60 days, until the time Of sale. His
cows hogs and other animals were also
placed in charge of one of the chivalry to
have boarded, and when the sale was made
the proceeds lacked $500 of being enough
to pay for the livery of the horses and the
board of the other animals. His farm was
seized, and the sale so managed that there
should be no competition and the chivalry
fixed the price.
The land was sold for $2.3e per acre, and
the Jerseyman turned, with his family, out
of the house Thus property to the value
of over So, 900 was stolen from this man
under the plea that he owed $3.50. Could
such an outrage have happened in any
other country under the sun. Justice rs
administered by men who openly boast
that they are not bound by the most sacred
oaths but they can swear with a mental
reservation is worse than farce.

SCRIBNER's MONTHLY FOR FEBRUARY-
is remarkable for the range, variety, value
and interest of its contents; and is probably
the most readable number yet published of
this young but vigorous and enterprising
magazine. The leading article. by Mr.
Hazard, is pleasantly written and well
illustrated account of the New York
Mechanical Library. Every community in
which is an institution of this kind will be
interested in a description of the workings
of which is the largest leading library in
America. Next comes a very timely and
thorough article by Prof. Baird, on The
French Conquest of Lorraine and Alsace,
with map and medals. Mr.. J. r. 1homp-
son tells very entertainingly Something
about Balloons, apr0p0s of their use by the
beleaguered Parisians; the illustrations
accompanying this article are very curious.
But the most important Illustrated article
Of the number is that by Prof 7. b. Maury
on Weather kilograms and Storm-Fore-
casts by the American Signal Service"
The subject is one Of the widest and most
vital Importance, and Prof. Maury's papers
there will be another in the March number
will attract general attention throughout
the country. w. C. Wilkinson's second
and concluding article on The Bondage of
the Pulpit will also be very widely read.
Then there is a racy sketch by Gail Hamil-
ton, Conference Wrong Side Out very

Fire Insurance Companies.

The late terrible fire in our town has had
the effect of causing our people to inquire
into the condition, standing and reliability
of Fire Insurance Companies, and no peo-
pie have had better opportunity of doing
SO than our own. Visited by one of the
greatest fires. almost, ever known in our
State, and many of our people made home
less and penniless in few hours time, it is
natural that they would feel like giving
credit to those who were prompt in reliev
ing their wants, and giving them what was
justly and honestly due them And in this
respect we believe our whole community,
without a dissenting voice, pronounce in
favor of the " Farmers Mutual Fire Insur-
ance Company of York In fact. we
believe, it is the only company. with the
exception of the Home of New York,
that have paid their claims. Mr. b. F.
Walker, the Supervisor and Adjusting
Agent of this Company, was on hand very
shortly after receiving the notice of the
fire, and remained with us for a week, and
in that time adjusted and paid the whole
amount OF the 1ork's Insurance on the
property lost, amounting to $1,000. The
fact speaks volumes in favor ofthe Farmers
Mutual, and has been the means of Mr..
Walker taking upwards of $40, 900 risks on
which amount he doubtless would have
doubled, if he had been able to remain
longer in this vicinity.
The Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance
Company of York has been in existence
for eighteen years, and though it is, as its
name shows, Mutual Company, it has
never, i'll that whole time, laid single
assessment upon those insured in it. The
Company has now net cash assets to the
amount of over S13G,000. Its total assets
liable for losses for the year ending Janu-
airy LIST, 1871, is 5000, SS9.15.
The above is from the Democrat and
Register, published at Mitflintown, Juniatta
county, Pa.
We have Local Agency for the York
County, and persons desiring to take pol
icy in this first Company, can be
promptly accommodated by applying at
Tile VIII Office.
