WHO ARE THE HEATHEN.

In what sharp and humiiating contrast to
the recent butchery committed by our fellow
Caucasians at Los Angeles stands out the
prompt and generous response of the Chinese
merchants of San Francisco to the appeal Of
suffering Chicago. The Alta California re-
prints what one of them said to the collectors.
and, in spite of the broken English, we defy
any right-feeling man to read this ''heathen's"
little speech unmoved:-
"Me leadee in Alta, Mclean man town all
same hap gone-burnee up. Mclean man
wantee dollas; some time poor Mclean man
strikee Chinaman with blicks; Chinaman no
care. Alice people Chicago losee everything
-wifee and childen burn out. Chinaman
say alice same my countree people-wantee

enough money, Gomez me again; give anoth-

A DISTRESSING CONUNDRUM.

The New Orleans Picayune tells of an am
bilious young debater in village society
who propounded this abstrusc conundrum:
Eff man plants II watermilion seed next
to his fence: and this ere watermillIon seed
sprouts upinto watermllion vine; and that
ere watermillion vine grows, and meandcrs
through that ar fence into another mans lot
adjacent; and in that other mans lot, so adj
jacient, that ere watermillion vine that
sprouted from that ere watermillion seed
and meandered thro' that ar fence into this
ere other mans lot adjacent, tharin consol-
idates and homologates into watermilion,
the question, feller-citizens and ladies, is: To
which of these ere men did that ar water
million, so homologated and promulgated,
belongp to the man who planted that ere
watermillion seed that meandered thro that
ar fence into this ere mans lot adjacent
and thar so consolidated into watermillion;
or to the man who owned this ere lot so
adjacent, whar was so promulgated the
watermilion that so exerggitated from that
'ar watermillion vine that mcandered thro'
this ere fence and so sprouted from that ar
watermillion seed that that ERE man thar
planted'"

the matter very successfully last winter, and
their talk was fully rs instructive as that OF
their husbands. course of lectures on ag-
ricultural topics might easily be started in
many towns, and there would be no necessi-
ty to 90 out of the state for lecturers who are
known throughout the country as authorities
on all the different branches of agriculture
and horticulture, and who would gladly re-
spond to invitations to address their brother
farmers. Let there be a united effort
throughout the state during the coming win
ter, to make the Farmers Clubs great sue
cess. and the people will be surprised,
pleased and profited by the result
We shall be grattied to receive reports of
the proceedings of Clubs throughout the state
for publication in the FARMER, and are al
ready promised those of some of the most
prominent. We desire to make these re-
ports specially, believing that in this way
much matter of practical utility will be put
before our leaders in shape specially ac-
ceptable to them.

PHOSPHATE MANUFACTURERS CATE
CHISM.

Every farmer desiring to purchase COM
mercial fertilizers, will do well to commit to
writing the following questions, which is
copied from american Manures," and pre-.
sent them to the manufacturer, and insist up
on having them definitely answered. If the
manufacturer will not give answers, he is
either ignorant of his business or he is afraid
of exposing the poor quality of the article
furnished.
First. "What percentage of phosphoric nc
id, anhydrous, soluble in cold water, do you
warrant your fertilizer to contain?"
Second. "What percentage of insoluble
phosphoric acid, anhydrous, do you warrant
your fertilizer to containP"
Third. "What percentage of nitrogen as it
exists in raw bone, blood, &c, do you war;
rant your fertilizer to contain?n
Fourth. "What percentage of actual am
monia do you warrant your fertilizer to con-
tan?"
Fifth. "What percentage of potash do you
warrant your fertilizer to contanp"
Sixth. "What percentage of water does
your fertilizer contain?"
seventh. "What percentage OF pure potash
is there in the salts of potash contained in
your fertilizer?"
Eighth. "What percentage of phosphoric
acid is there in the soluble phosphate con-
tanned in your fertilizer"
To the above questions the Journal of
Chemistry adds one more. 'What is the
source of the phosphoric acid-bones or min
eral phosphateP"
Having been furnished with true answers
to the above questions, the farmer can easily
determine for himself whether it will be
profitable to buy or not, if he will inform
himself of the value of the substances as pre-
sented

Our citizens have met with very appre-
ciable loss in the departure from among us
of DR.. Huntington, who for the past five years
has practiced his profession of Dental Sur
gerry in Newport. Dr. Huntington is man
of quiet but decided characteristics, one
whom it takes time to know, but who grows
gradually and surely in the esteem and re-
spect of all who have the privilege of his
acquaintance. We have had unusual oppor-
tunities of knowing and approaching his
character both us man and us II dentist, and
in either we are convinced that his equal is
rarely to be found. He goes from Newport to
find IL climate more congenial to his health,
but wherever he goes he will reach no place
where he can find warmer friends or more
well-wishers than he leaves behind him.

VALUE OF MUCK.

In II discussion before the Little Falls Club,
Mr.. A. l.. Fish stated that twelve years ago
he drew out 5000 loads of muck, and applied it
ut the rate of fifty loads to the acre, pulver-
izing and mixing it with the soil. The result
was good crops without further cultivation.
Two years later he drew out 1000 loads, and
applied it ut the rate of 100 loads to the acre,
spread with plank to which was attached
IL tongue to hitch the team. The land was
planted to corn. After taking two crops
from the land it was put down in meadow,
and it has produced ut the rate of two tons
OF hay per acre ever since, though before the
application it did not yield one ton per acre.
1t did not act so quickly us manure, but was
more lasting.-Rurdl Home.

The impression generally prevails that the
climate of Minnesota is especially favorable
for invalids affected with pulmonary COM
plants But the Secretary of Y. M. C. AS
ISOLATION at st. Paul, writes to the Watchma,e
newspaper that his society, during the last
year, has spent large sum in nursing and in
burying Christian young men who came to
St. Paul in pursuit of health only to die. The
Association maintains a lot in the Oakland
Cemetery expressly for strangers who may
die under its care. The fact proves the ex-
IRENE caution which invalids should exercise
in selecting locality with view to II radi-
cal change of meteorological influences; for
a mistake in this is likely to be fatal.

FARMERS CLUBS.

This is the season ut which Farmers Clubs
are expected to renew their activity, choose
officers, and lay out programme for winter
operations. Last winter was II successful
one for Clubs generally in Vermont, and the
real, good work done in them will encourage
the formation of new ones and an enlarge
ment of the scope and aims of those already
in existence.
Such is the acknowledged Importance of
Farmers Clubs that in one state, at least
(Maine) an appropriation has been made by
the Legislature to promote their organization,
and they, together with the County Agricul
tural Societies, have regular connection
with the State Board of Agriculture, so that,
in some degree at least, cooperation is Sc
cured between all the agricultural bodies of
the State. In that state also the members
of the State Board are chosen by the county
societies, making it much more truly rep
resentative body than where as in our state,
it is constituted by executive appointment.
1t must, we think, be evident to all that
such united action, when properly carried
out, will be much more effective. than where
each neIghborhood club and county society is
working alone, in Indifference or ignorance
of what other bodies in the same state are
doing. Mr. Jameson read an excellent pa
per on this subject at the Brandon meeting
of the Board of Agriculture, in which he sug-
gested regular intercourse and cooperation
between the different clubs, county societies
and the state society. But we are not aware
that, as yet, any movement in that direction
has been made.
Our readers know that we are strongly IN
favor of the clubs taking wider scope in
their operations than is comprised in the
mere discussion of farm topics at their meet
ings. We believe it to be the right and priv
ilege of farmers, when necessary, to attempt
the regulation of their relations with the pub
lie at large, so far as to secure fair prices for
what they produce and prevent fraud and
overcharge in commodities that they con-
sumo largely; also to maintain a watch over
the administration of public affairs, in order
to prevent the sacrifice of their interests by
legislation initiated by those who profit by
laws calculated to affect the farmer injuri-
ously. Nothing is easier, if they will serious
ly make the effort, than for the farming class
to protect all their interests and secure, what
they do not now have, the entire profits of
their labor Some clubs in the state we are
assured will make the effort this winter, to
secure lower rates for some leading articles
consumption on the farm, and no doubt
with success. To influence the market for
m-produco to any great extent a wider
cooperation would be necessary, and for that
we must wait
Besides these, there are other things that
might easily be done to increase the interest
and usefulness of club meetings. The pres
ence and assistance of the ladies adds much
to the pleasure and profit of such assemblies.
This has already been proved by experiment,
if any doubt could have been supposed to ex-
ist The ladies of Westminster took hold of

Some idea of the work of building up Chi
cago may be obtained from the statement
that the quantity of long lumber used there
inthe three years 1868, 1869, 1870, was 1925
600, 900 feet-a quantity sufficient to make a
pile twenty feet wide, ten feet high, and one
hundred and sixty miles long.
