John II. Surratt, Of assassination infa-
my, is too huge a load for the Democrats
to carry just now, and has come out in a
card in which he says that in lccturing
he does not appear as exponent OF
party principles. Referring to the harsh
criticism of the New York World he
says: Conscious to myself of right, I
will not be deferred from the course I
choose to follow by the howlings and
carpings of those who would be my friends
if they dared.

There seems to be II real perversity in peo-
pies minds in regard to this weed. Intelli-
gent writers, thoroughly versed in the chem
istry of plants, have repeatedly explained and
demonstrated that the acid of sorrel is not
derived from the soil ut all, and consequently
is not due to the condition of the SOIL whetl-
er acid or alkaline. One would think sorrel
(by the way it is written about to be the
only plant that contains an acid, while the
fact is that II very great number of plants,
cultivated us well rs wild, contain acids Ell
Their in leaf, stem, or fruit, and some of them
much more than the sorrel. Cultivation,
manurng, and sowing grass seed, would
have eXterminated Mr.. Clark's sOrrel,
whether he used pomace or some other ma
nure.

A GOOD CHANCE FOR OUR FARMERS.


Our readers know that we have repeatedly
urged upon the makers Of fertilizers the prep
aration Of II superphosphate unmixed with
other substances, and of II high grade of sol
utility. II seems that there are others of our
way Of thinking, since we learn that one of
our leading New England phosphate works
has recently received an order for 100 tons of
unmxed phosphate. 25 per cent. soluble.
Through the kindness of the chemist of the
company, we are offered car load, 90 tons)
from the lot Mt the lowest rates, for ourself
and friends. The price will he considerably
lower than that paid for the ordinary kinds,
while the, quality as II superphosphate, will
be much better. 1t will be necessary to say
soon whether this offer is accepted, and our
friends in this vicinity who would like to
avail themselves of it can learn further par
ticulars by calling upon us.

FARMERS AND FARMERS WIVES.
REMEMBER

Remember that the fall Fairs of your va
rious societies are yOur Fairs,-holidays for
yourselves and Xur families in which you
can happily combine recreation with instruc-
ton: and remember that it is upon yourselves
that they must depend for their power of af-
fording valuable information and satisfactory
pleasure. There will always be good fair
if all who can will helpto make it so. There
is hardly II farm in the country from which
something may not be brought to the fairs
that will be looked upon with interest by
many So put aside Incidence and false
modesty, do your part as II man or woman of
spirit and libcrality, willing to give as well
us receive, and every fair in the state will be
n success. There is no better test Of the
character of the farmers of any section than
the kind of fairs thcyget up.

young, the gobblers attain weight of
over 80 pounds each, and have dressed from
90 to 25 lbs. before year old. lie considers
it desirable to set as many eggs as possible
about the same time, and has had II hundred
turkeys hatch in one day. Those Matched
under hens are in II few days put with the
main flock, under the care OF turkeys. The
food while young is milk curd, wheat bread,
and brown bread soaked in milk. The brown
bread is baked for them. When large enough
to travel well, it is necessary to feed the
mother birds all they will eat, so they have
nothing to do but look out for the welfare of
their numerous families.
Three turkeys will take charge of hundred
and agree well among themselves, and be
equally jealous in watchful care. A case
was mentioned where in returning to the
barn where the grass was wet some chicks
seemed unable to proceed. and one turkey re-
manned with the stragglcrs, lowered them
until dry and brought them safely in. while
the main flock was cared for by the other old
birds and safely brought to roost. If any
chick gets separated from the flock and sets
up his alarm cry, one of the turkeys goes after
him and the others remain. The place was
pointed out where turkey went one morn
ing nearly thrcc-fourths of mile after chick
that had roasted in II tree to which it had
been frightened by n dog the evening before.
Mr.. Sumner sends his turkeys to purchas-
ers in various parts of the country. They are
probably the heaviest in New England.
If any man has II gobbler weighing 40
pounds and II hen weighing 25 pounds, Mr..
5. is ready to buy them ut II high price. but
he does not believe they exist. His turkeys
are so directed in their travels the first of the
season that they do not trouble his grain
crops, but roam in pastures, subsisting on
grasshoppcrs until after haying and harvest
ing. when they go where they please and are
useful and profitable cleaners.

oughly constructed cheese factory, on the

ut the head of all our educational journals in

larity has II sufficient foundation in the mcr-
its of the work Every teacher, and all spe-
cially interested in education, such rs town

his best cows was killed by falling tree.
The damage can not be set less than $500.

Its subscription price is but fifty cents IL year,
