a New Hampshire man and q man
from Ohio CHANGED to meet at pub
lie dinner IN New York The man from
Ohio suggested to him of the Granite
State that it might be advantageous to
him to remove to the West, especially
if he proposed to follow the pursuit of
farmer, The Yankee could not see
1t: there ~as no state In the Union
equul to New Hampshire. He of the
Buckeye State could not agree to this.
Ohio was inferior to New Hampshire
IN no respect, while in many respects
she superior. The Yankee demand
ed to know superior feature. The
Buckeye commenced to enumerate: but
as fast as he presented his claims of
superiority, his antagonist unhesi-
tatiugly swept them away by bold and
vigorous declarations to the contrary
At length when all sources of argu-
ment had been exhausted, the Buck
eve confidently observed:
"You will at least allow that Ohio
justly claims superiority over New
Hampshire in point of the extent of
the territory"
"No, sir" promptly and emphati-
responded the Yankee. "Your State
spreads out because it is fat. Look at
the mountains of New Hampshire
Goodness mercy Just roll 'em out
fat and they'd make territory enough

Au Inextinguishable Signal Light.

A new signal light possessing most
remarkable properties, has now been
brought out in England Its peculiari-
ties are that 1T is self-igniting when
placed IN water or thrown on the sea-
Contact with water being the only
means of lgniting the lamp, it is mex
tinguishable when once ignited Meth
er wind nor storm has any effect upon
the flame. The light is of intense bril-
hancy, and of great duration, and can
be seen for great distance in the open
ar. Photographs may be taken by it.
EXPERIMENTS were tried on the evening
OF the 18th of April, at ten o'clock, in
the presence of some scientific gentle
men, to determine its brilliancy as a
signal. A lamp was placed in bucket
of water on the top of Primrose Hill.
London, and the light was so intense
that after the signal had been burning
Tor twenty minutes, small newspaper
print could be distinctly read at dis
lance of seventy feet, notwithstanding
that the night was thick and .oggy.
This light will burn for forty minutes.
In construction the lamp is exceeding
ly simple, and so contrived that when
once burnt the whole may be thrown
away. The chemical preparation con-
tanned IN the lamp is a solid, hard sub
stance, free from danger not affected
by heat, and so non-explosive and the
signal is comparatively Inexpensive
Its applications for marine signals are
numerous. In case of shipwreck, a
few lamps thrown into the sea would
the entire scene, and enable
assistance to be promptly and efficient
ly rendered. For rocket-line apparatus
1T is equally valuable, as, bursting into
flame on falling into the sea, il would
indicate the position of the rocket line.
In connection with life buoys, it would
be mark to the drowning sailor.

HsF IN our advertising columns will
be found the May statement of the old Ameri-
can Insurance Company of Chicago. From
the fact that this company issues policies ONLY
on dwelling houses, farm property, churches,
and schoolhousas, the amount of the receipts
for one month (9S4 ,02+76), appears traly sur
prising The nstallmeut plan. on which only
this company does business. was originated
and fi-St adopted by them. and that the plan
Is success. and its merits duly appreciated
by the farmers of the entire west, are abund-
antly proven by the almost unprecedented
patronage obtained by the company. The
American having been admitted by Supt
Miller, of New York, TO do business in that
state, after the closest investigation by the
heads of the different insurance departments
of other states. we most heartily recommend
it as a sound well-officered and efficiently man

correspondent of the Carolipa
Farmer writes:
: have recently read several inter
estlng communications in the Farmer
relative to composing manure, &c.
but don't recoIlect having seen any
statement as to the injurious results of
ire changing from becoming overheated,
Most farmers have an idea that il il
necessary for all barnyard manures to
so through state of fermentation. and
tor this purpose they are frequently
thrown into heaps, and suffered 70 go
through a heat, with the belief that
the desired result has been obtained.
tlre-tanglng also sometimes occurs
IRON the manure being permitted to re-
main too long IN heaps before being
spread, where fermentation was not
sought. tlrefanging IN this case NAV
be said to be the result of a belief, on
the part of the farmer, that he can
handle barnyard manure in the same
way he can muck, ashes, or any other
manure.
The heat produced from bulking ma
nure causes the ammonia the princi-
pal element thereof, to escape and go
of into the air This process contin-
ues until tso manure becomes of a
white, moudy app arance, and is also
very light In this condition 1t is term
ed fire 4sngled, aud is then barely worth
cartlnG to a field, as the following OK
pertinent will show:
A number Of years ago / saw in an
agricultural paper ap article showing
the injurious effects of fire-fanging
Having some manure on hand that [
had thrown into pile for the purpose
of fermenting, and which had heated
until there was not life enough in it to
produce any more heat, | resolved To
test the accuracy of the statement hy
experiment. | therefore selected two
rows of sweet potatoes, and | scraped
away the dirt from the slips on each.
/ then applied to each slip of one row
ABOUT q quart of ifre-fanged manure,
ana to the other row an equal quantity
oi well rotted manure. but which had
never been heated. The manure was
then covered over and the same cult
walton given each In the fall the pota-
toes were carefully dug and each row
weighed accurately also row with no
manure The unheated manure more
than doubled the product The heated
and unmanured were very nearly equal,
there being a small remnant III each
more than the steelvards would draw
at one time, but of the two remnants, |
believe the unmanured had the pre-
ponderance.
| was astonished at the result, and
readily came TO the conclusion that, in
stead of barnyard manure losing DC
per cent. by tire-fanging according to
the statement, it lost, if my expert
ment could be considered a criterion,
100 precisely. Since that time | have
often been led To believe, from seeing
SO many heaps going to ruin in the
same way, farmers sustain annual loss
rs from tire-fanging sufficient to pay OF
even more than pay their taxes. There
fore when the fumes from your manure
heaps greet your olfactories, be "
warned that the strength thereof is fast
escaping. In this case you should ar
rest further loss by composing al
once, So as to break mp the heat, OF
distributed where wanted and pillow
under The above remark applys sole
iy to barnyard manures, and not tt

The Colonial Farmer has the follow.
ing remarks on fumigating stables:
Snlphurious acid gas is generated or
produced by fire and sui phur-brim-
stone-is simple and very cheap, and
the process IS as follows: Procure a
small chatter of red hot cinders from a
coal fire set a small crucible on the
hot Goals, and put piece of birthstone
stuck as large as mans thumb into it.
Tins viii fumigate large cattle shed
or barn IN about twenty minutes. Con-
trary to the expectation first enter

fumes and it has proved tonic as well
rs d1slnfectant to them. The results
from experiments with it are shown.
which lead to the conviction that the
diseases such as cholera, pleuro-pnou-
moma, mango, ringworm and lice.
have disappeared before this gas. and
that greasy heels in horses have been
cured by it, while serious cases of CLAN
ders have also been amended bv the
Iudlclous use Of this hitherto-considered
poisonous gas. In addition to the use
Of this gas, sanitary measures should
be enforced inregard to cleanliness and
a thorough ventilation with the allow
ance OF a generous diet.
