The Seven Months Campaign.

The Kisi Gazette thus reviews the
seven months campaign: In the pres
ent war twenty-three battles have been
fought their order MISUNDERSTANDING,

paume, Vendome, LIE Mans, Belfort,
ST.. Quentin, and the great sortfe against
st. Cloud. AT. .Gravelotte nearly hall a
million Of men confronted each other,
viz, 10000 Germans against 2lO,OOO
Freuchmen At Sedan there were 2lO,-
600 Germans against 10000 French,
and in the third battle Of Orleans lOO,-
600 or 10000 Germans against 20O,-
OOO or $4,000 French. The disparity
of numbers was greatest at Mars-la.tour
and Beltort. In the. former 45,ooO
Prussians fought from faght A. M. ull
tour P. NJ, at first against 100000, and
by noon against nearly 100000 French.
In the latter nearly 10000 or $4,000
Prussians and Badeners confronted
10000 to 10000 French. The three
battles before Metz-Pange, Marsha
tour and Gravelotte-show the largest
losses on both sides, the loss Of the
Germans in the second being 600 officers
and 1900 men. OF all the battles
during the past century, only the storm

Alliance, Borodino, Eylau and Zorndorf
can rank in the same category with the
battles before Metz. There have been
forty-nine engagements, some of them

An Exciting Scene.

Several Sundays ago, a collection was
about to be taken up in one Of our
churches, and, in the absence Of one Of
the regular collectors, a irisky young
man volunteered his services and hand
ed around his hat with great industry
and success When he got near the
door, he was about to go out, with the
hat full OF money on his head, when the
minister said solemnly Young man,
if you leave here with that money,
You'll be damned The young man,
however, left in hurry, and, as he shut
the door behind him, worthy old
brother, with voice on F sharp, who
had put a dollar in the hat, piped out
to the minister, Well, if he aint gone
with it, TN be d-d!''-Halifar Record

WEIGHT OF MILK.

frequently see in farm journals some re-
marks in regard to the weight of milk, but
have never, except in one instance, seen u
figure given. One of your correspondents, u
few weeks since, gave the actual weight of
quart of milk as % lbs. have weighed sew
cral quarts lately, and find none higher than
2 lbs. 6 ozs. win some one give the exact
weight of Jersey milk rich with cream, for
would like some standard for II guide; and if
there be any difference in weight of different
qualities of milk, would like to know what
that difference isp-COr. Mdane Farmer.
N. T. Sheafe, Esq, of Derby Line, has in
formed us that his Jersey cows sometimes
gave milk that weighed two pounds nine,
and in one instance, at least, two pounds ten
ounces per quart But the difficulty about
all these weights is that we have no definite
statement of the exact cubic contents of the
measures used. 1t is manifest that the or
binary quart measures, made by the tinman,
are far from being carefully guaged to any
standard, and besides, there are, at least, two
standards, the wine and the beer quarts or
gallons. Who will give us some enact ex-
periments upon this pointp

especially in Orcharding, arising from pre-
vailing ignorance on the subject. We par
ticularly objected to the grating of fine table
apples upon Siberian crab stocks, believing
that in the greater number of cases the fruit
grown upon such trees would be of inferior
quality Since then we have been collecting
instances practically demonstrating the truth
of our ideas, and shall sometime present
them to the consideration of our readers, to-
gether with the abundant proof that there is
no necessity for the use of such stocks on the
ground of superior hardness. We are even
rians which are good enough to eat raw upon
crab stocks, tor the same reason. At present
we only wish to direct attention to the fol-
lowing evidence in support of our views from
writer in the Germantown Pa.) Telegraph,
who says that d" becoming dissatisfied with
the fruit of his Jargonelles and Vicar of
WINFIELD few years ago he grated both
with Clapp's Favorite; they have commence
ed to bear, and those on the Jargonelle are
two or three weeks earlier than those on the
Vicar, and some of the fruit on the .Jargon-
ellie stock rotted ut the core, us the ,Jargonelle
was in the habit of doing"
Any number of observations of n similar
character might be adduccd, and we have
no doubt that such have been made by many
of our readers, though they may not have
given the subject sufficient attention to draw
the unavoidable Influences

STUPID EXPERIMENTAL

A correspondent of IN exchange writes:
ave have tried fertilizer made from one
part fine ground bone, and two parts of wood
ashes. The bone was cut by sulphuric acid
before mixing with the ashes, and the whole
mingled with SIX or eight times us much fine
muck. 1t was put in the hill for tobacco mt
the rate of four tablespoonfulls in hill, and
we could not see as it did any good ut all, the
plants being no better than the rest by the
side of it that did not have any thing in the
hill. We used Russell Goes phosphate and
it did well for u.s."
Now let us figure IL little on this expert
ment, and see if there was any reason to cx-
pect any different result form the one record
ed. Two bushels of ground bone was, we
will suppose, "cut " with fifty pounds of sui
phuric acid, mixed with IN equal quantity of
water. We must estimate the acid and wa
ter, because the quantity used is not stated,
but we have not taken enough to "cut " the
bone thoroughly. Then he adds four bushels
of wood ashes, and after mixing it with the
bone and acid, adds six OF eight "-(say

INFLUENCE OF STOCK UPON SCION.

Last winter we printed an editorial article
in which ground was taken against the pop
ular belief, not only with the public but
among horticulturists and nurserymen, that
the growth and product of the scion is entire
ly uninfluenced by the stock. We did not
discuss the question entirely, OF even chiefly,
from strictly scientific point of view, as
have writers like Mr.. Mehan, the able editor
of the Gardeners Monthly, and others, but
adverted rather to the practical ill-results,

STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

The report of the annual meeting of this
Society Qor which we are indebted to the
Free PrcSs) appears in another column. 1t
will be perceived that the Society is in :.
prosperous condition financially, and that,
us regards organization, it joys on in the good
old way. 1t could hardly have better, or
more representative board of officers, than
those it has chosen for the ensuing year.
In aiding the Dairyman's Association it has
done IA generous thing, though it is not very
pleasant to think that so useful society is so
Unsupported as to need to beg aims in order
to print Its transactions Something is wrong,
somewhere, or it would not be so.
If we were disposed to be critical over any
of the proceedings of the meeting it would
wool-interest with any monopoly, and espe-
cially so odious one us the Syracuse salt
monopoly, which is directly injurious to the
farmers. In regard to the protection of the
wool growers by tariff laws, we have al
ready expressed an opinion that the growth
of the sheep interest upon the great plains of
the west will soon cut the bottom out from
under any such legislation. by filling our
markets with native wool ut price far be-
low any thing that would pay profit in Ver-
mont. And to try to prevent reduction of
the duties on wool by joining hands with any
thing so unpopular as the salt monopoly,
seems to us short-sighted. Let the agricul-
tural interest stand upon its own foundation,
which is broad enough. Any attempt ut alli-
ances with the manufacturers and miners
will only result in being sold out by them
whenever 1t may seem to be for their interest
There is danger, we think, that the farm
crs themselves are not II unit throughout the
country upon the question of protection.
The Chicago Tribune, for instance, asserts
That there is no considerable number of
men in the west who care IL button about the
tariff on wool; that, of those who combined
in 1866 to procure its enactment, the larger
number have since slaughtered their sheep
for the pelts and tallow; and that the re-
mainder are Il mere handful" But however
it may be, and whatever may be the action
of Congress, the farmers of Vermont may
safely say, as Abbott Lawrence said to the
free-traders of the South, years ago, that
New England can and will prosper, whether
with protection or without and that what we
need most is n settled policy on the subject,
in place of the ups and downs which result
from constant tinkering of the laws.
