THE MARYLAND
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
ALL POLICIES NONFORFEITlBLE.
Dividends Annualy after the first Year.
OF BALTIMORE, NO, 10 SOUTH ST.


1THE advan tsges of Life Insurance are so
manifold and manifest that general inquiry
Il made concerning 1t. All good men wish TO
provide for those dependant upon them. Pro.
vision to be certain must be immediate. The
only immediate provision Is by Lille Insurance,
A great and important question Is, where shall
I insuref Reason, self-respect, self.lnterest,
the laws Of trade and commerce that govern a
thrifty and intelligent people indicate that a
man sAouid Insure at home, where he lives,
makes bis money, pays his taxes and expects
10 leave his property and his family. II Is as
humiliating as Il Is ruinous for US to send mil
lions OF dollars out Of our State annually for
Life Insurance that should be kept at home.
Money In Maryland Is scarcs, iaterea high, and
property low, because we are sending so much
of il away. There is certainly no necessity
Gor this, because equal intelligence and equal
morals will make Savings Banks, Life and Fire
Insurance Companies, Lawyers, Doctors, Mer-
chants, or anything else, here equal to those In
other States. II Is an axiom that In all kinds
Of business danger, difficulty and loss increases
In ratio OF distance. Recent experience proves
clearly that II 10 safer and better In both Life
and Fire TO be insured at home. II Is poor
compliment to our Citizens and State and In
bad taste to deprecate our own institutions
and indirectly depreciate those who control
them.
Fortunately for our State prosperity, the
people are beginning to see this. Our last
January report to the Comptroller Of the
State was go satisfactory and gratifying as to
call forth editorial commendations from the
principal papers in Baltimore.
Few companies are in as good condition as
the Maryland, and as It Is ours and keeps the
capital In our own State deserves your coop
.eration and patronage. In matter of SO great
importance persons should inform themselves
well before they act

WINTER GARDENING.-Dr. II. Ii. Hos
kins editor of the Vermont Farmer, a new
and valuable weekly agricultural paper
published at Newport, by Royal Cum
mings-was in 81. Johnsbury few days
ago inspecting the greenhouses of the
Messrs. Fairbanks. After referring to tho
magnitude of the scale works, the advant-
ages that accrue to the place through the
business prosperity and benevolence of the
scale-makers, he says: "What we particu-
larly went to see in st. Johnsbury, and
what we never fail to visit as often as on
portunity offers, were the greenhouses,
forcing houses and orchard houses attach
ed to the residences of several of the pro-
pretors of its great mandatory. They
are by far the best, and indeed almost the
only examples of this branch of horticul-
ture in northeastern Vermont, and we
class them as notamong the least of the ed
ucational and civilizing forces put in ac-
ton here. No obstacles stand in the way
Of their reasonable enjoyment, either by
citizens or strangers, and certainly they
afford constant fountain OF pleasure and
instruction to all who love TO observe and
study the wonders and beauties of nature,
not forgetting to see, shining through
them, the wisdom and bounty of natures

been reached without the purchase of barn
yard manure, having never spent $40 for
that purpose.
lie spread his manure on his land in the
fall. He had expended between 5000 and
800 for phosphates, mostly procured of
Mr.. Bradley of Boston. He was confident
that ho should be rich farmer, IL he con-
tinued the system he had so far pursued.
Hon. $. Brown of Concord, said that the
idea that corn could be purchased cheaper
than II could be raised by our farmers, was
false one; he had raised corn for the past
20 years at n less price than he could buy
it; he had seen crop of 800 bushels raised
the past year that had not cost over 25c a
buslel.
The frauds in fertilizers, Mr. Brown said,
were constant and great, and farmers should
combine to put this down. There was no
time to be wasted. They could not afford
to pay $50 per ton for phosphates; he had
been over DIR. Nichols's farm, and had been
amazed to see what the Doctor had done
with those little fertilizers, that he could,
as ii were, carry in his vest pocket and
scatter where he went, up hill and down.
He advised farmers to use large quantities
of muck he thought that every cord placed
upon the soil was worth two dollars. 1t
was good on all sorts of land; he should
consider his time well spent If he could
encourage farmers to use muck extensive
ly.
Mr.. Barnard of Worcester said he had
used muck as manure for As years; he
put IL under his barn as an absorbent, ant
applied 1t to his land, composted one loat
of manure with two loads of muck. In tina
time he had not bought 800 worth of ma
nure; his farm, which did not cut over q
tons of hay per annum when he took it
now kept over 40 head of stock with only
Is acres of pasture land he had kept 20 COW!
the past season; he was confident that hi
had raised five tons of hay to the acre.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1871-03-24

In the discussion on fertilizers, at the re-
cent meeting of the Massachusetts State
Board of Agriculture, President Wilder
said that he had used muck combined with
potash, as a substitute for ashes, with good
results.
In reply to an inquiry as to the compare
tive value of leached and unleached ashes,
DIR. Nichols said he would rather pay 40
cents per bushel for the former than 10
cents per bushel for the latter. Coal ashes
he considered but little better than sand.
Mr.. Lawrence, n member of the State
Board of Agriculture Of New Hampshire,
said his experience in the use of fertilizers
corresponded with that of the lecturer.
Twelve years since his father left him a
farm of 800 acres. 1t had been customary
TO consume all the products Of the farm
upon the farm. He reduced his stock two
thirds, and commenced system of farm
ing which he had found profitable. Last
year he had submitted his farm for pre-
MUM, and though he had the best farmers
in the State to contend with, he was proud
to say that he receive 1t, and this result had

POWER FOR THE FIRM.

Much has been written on this question
of late, showing that the subject is begin
ming to attract the attention ii deserves, but
do not see anything published to inform
the public of the great perfection which has
been attained in governing and turning TO
use the power of the wind; and in the first
place l wish to say that l am not manu-
facturer or interested in the sale of any
windmill, but simply wish to call the at
tention of those in need of cheap power to
the advantages offered by this source of
power. The windmill used by several of
my neghbors. and which gives uniform
satisfaction, is made by the Continental
Windmill Co. Other mills may be equally
good, but have never seen any other that
seemed to me TO be worth using; and this
seems so nearly perfect, that see nothing
to suggest as an improvement. twill run
in very light wind, and will regulate it.
self according to the force of wind and the
work required of it, by means of centrifu-
gal weights similar in principle to the well
known governor" of the steam engine !;
when the wind is high, the regulator trims
the sails at a sharper angle to the wind, and
when it subsidies, the sails trim themselves
to catch all the wind they can. 1t will run
safely in very heavy weather, and if kept
in motion, docs not clog with snow, sleet or
hail in fact, almost all that is needed to
keep one of these mills in running order,
is to attend to oiling the running parts once
or twice a week, for it is provided with n
vane which keeps it always headed TO the
wind, and can be kept running day and
night if desired. or can be stoned Mt any
time with perfect ease.
Where power is needed all the time or
every day, the Windmill must of course
give place to steam, horse power or caloric
engines, for we cannot depend upon having
wind enough always. But where the work
required is intermittent. and where we can
choose our time for doing it, not generally
being Obliged to run more than half the
time with full power the Windmill fur
nishes by far the cheapest and most con-
venient power known. for the reasons given
below:
l. No engineer is reouired TO run the ma
chine, as in the case of steam engines.
.. The mower is ready Mt n moment,s mo-
tice. whenever the wind blows M delay
being needed to get mn steam.
3. The exponse Drumming is mero,v NOM
inal, being the oil required the repairs and
interest on the outlay, both of which latter
items are much less than in tbo case of
steam or horsepower.
4. The capitol rcouired for first outlav is
less than for the CORRESPONDING mower in
steam, horsepower or caloric engine.
Thus take for instance the mill, 25 feet in
diameter, furnished by this company; the
price is $500; the tower required will vary
