DiSsOlVing Bones,

There are great many bones wasted OH
almost every farm in the State which, if
properly reduced and utilized, would add
much to the manure heap. Mr.. W. III.
W., of Reading, Mass, gives the following
as his plan for dissOlving bones:
l have large water-tight hogshead
standing outdoors, near the kitchen. In
the spring / cover the bottom about six
inches with dry soil. On this put lay
er of bones of about the same depth, and
cover them entirely with unleached ashes.
On these another layer of bones, then ash
es, and so on until the hogshead is full. |
leave it then exposed to the rains all sum-
mer and winter, until the next spring.
Then on removing the contents of the
hogshead, find nearly all the bones so
soft that they will crumble to powder I'M
der very slight pressure, and mixed with
the ashes and the soil, they give me nice
little pile of most valuable manure, ready
for immediate use. Any of the bones not
sufficiently subdued, [ return to the hogs
| head gain for another twelve months slum-
Der. In this way have had no difficulty
| in Transforming all the bones [ can get in
| to bore meal. / buy them directly from
| the butcher at dollar hundred pounds,
for the purpose of turning them thus into
manure, and consider them the cheapest
| fertilizer / can obtain,

FIsTULA IN HoRsEs.-A correspondent
of the Cincinnati Gazette says that a fistu-
Ia can be cured on horse after ii has
opened, and he tells how to do it:
"Take two gallons of ley, boil it down
to the thickness of common soft soap; put
as much in the opening as you can, apply
every two or three weeks. Wash the dis
eased part and the shoulders every week
with strong white oak bark ooze. The dis
ease may come again two or three times.
Treat every time.in the same way. The
writer adds:
L have known the above used by
two of my neighbors, and perfect cure
was the result. One was the worst case
ever saw. cured my mare and worked
her part of the time. My neighbor, with
the worst case, worked his horse also when
he had work to do, although the fistula
was so bad that instead of collar, breast
straps had to be used. No one should feel
discouraged if it takes two rthree months
to effect a cure, but continue the above as
often as the disease shows Itself, 1t took
my mare about six months t veil, 2

vote against the project. Why is this
thus? He has never been considered 50
public spirited a citizen as to make the
City or the County large donations, or to
build any public works and present them
to the people. He never built anything
that we know Of, except his house, and
he has in his pocket, to-day some $1,000
to $4,000 in money which, morally, be-
longs to the people of this City,
The fact is he is not celebrated for any
thing of public character, or suspected
of aiding any public enterprise in which
he had not a chance tomake something Is
this the reason he opposes the plan for the
purchase of county fair grounds II
squints little that way And it is there,
fore proper, we think, to say that if om
county is placed on the downward roaG
and suffered to lag behind the people il
other parts of the State in matters deemed
vital to its interests and if we have NJ
more county fairs, and our people cannot
keep pace with their neighbors, the faul

Are County Fairs Useful and Desirable

Are County Fairs Useful and Desirable
1t is hardly necessary to give reasons for
the holding of National, State or County
fairs Our State acknowledges their
utility by passing laws in aid of them, and
appropriating money for their encourage
ment and hte question of their utility may
be regarded as settled Our State has
also enacted laws authorizing and encour
aging Counties 10 purchase grounds for
fairs, thus aiding in keeping alive health
full and honorable rivalry in the productions
of the soil, the improvement of stock, and
of progress in the mechanic arts, manu-
features etc By reference to the pro-
ceedings of the Board of Supervisors, in
this paper, it will be seen that the question
of purchasing fair grounds for this county
is now before the Board There is no
want of precedent for the purchase, for
over one third of the counties in this State
have already made such purchases. There
is no doubt about the propriety or legality
of the move, for the Legislature has au-
thorized it. And in long and narrow
county like this it is hard to make fair
success without some aid at the start
The present society is not able to purchase
grounds, and unless the purchase shall be
made by the Board of Supervisors, it is
very certain that the society will be dis
not asked to donate cent The prOposi-
ton is for the Board to buy the present
grounds, at a price much below actual
value hold the land and rent it at nomi-
nal sum to the society. Should the people
Of the county ever desire to sell it, no one
doubts that they can do so at profit, at
any time-and year by year it will become
more valuable The proposition seems ia
meet with favor from the people generally
though we regret to say that one of our
prominent citizens is using efforts to defeat
it. We refer to 7. j. Robinson. As people
never act without motive it is very natura
to ask what are his motives in trying to pre-
vent the purchase Does RObinsOn's banl
oppose it because Mitchell & Lynde'i
bank favors it? Is it because Robinson
don't like the men connected with the ag
ricultural society? Is it because he own
some land which he wants to sell to the so
cietyP Or is it because he hopes by de
feating it, to be able to get it into his owl
hands, for a speculation? He is very &C

THE LIBRARY.-A press Of other mat
ter prevented us from noticing that at
the meeting of the directors of the Free
Library held Saturday evening, among
other business transacted it was resolved
that the rules in regard to the return of
books be strictly and impartially enforced,
and that any person violating the fifth
rule, which requires the return of book
in fJurteen days, forfeits his right to the
privileges of the Library until restored by
some member of the committee on admin
istration, consisting of +. Burial, Jr W,
II Gest and +. d. Sweeney
1t was also decided to move the Library
into the first room at the head of the stair
way, using the present library room as a
reading room. Both rooms will at once
be fitted up and some $500 worth of books
be added before January LIST
The Public Library has been open less
than two weeks, and nearly 1000 volumes
have already been taken out

SAVED FROM FIRE.-The iron chimney
from the boiler in THE ARGUS Office passes
through the roof Of the engine room.
This morning doth a little after o'clock,
Adam Kramer, our engineer, discovered
the roof around the chimney to be in a
blaze Of FIRE With admirable presence of
mind he attached the rubber hose, in the
engine room, to the water pipe and poured
a stream Of water on the fire which soon
extinguished it. Here is another evidence
of the utility of the water works-without
which, in this case, it would have been
necessary to hunt ladder and climb up to
the fire and try to extinguish it by means
of buckets Of water-or give an alarm,
get up steam on a fire engine, etc, and by
the time it should be ready to work the fire
might have done much damage, and en-.
dangered the whole property in the region
With such a power as the Holly water
works, and with the necessary appliances
every man can have his own private fir,
engine with steam always up.

PERsoNAL-Among the denizens Of the
Harper House it has been known for
sometime that Mr.. VIM r. MoultOn, the
general superintendent of that establish
ment, had received tempting offers of a
business connection IN Chicago, and it was
pretty well understood that, on the LIST of
January, he would go there to reside.
The other day, however, it was settled be
tween him and Mr. Harper that he is to
remain another year, and have the general
superintendent of the hotel We doubt
if Mr. Harper could find any one to fill his
place so acceptably-certainly not without
considerable previous experience on the
part of the man who should undertake it.
The travelling public as well as our own
citizens will be glad to hear that Mr.
Moulton is to remain here-they hope per-
manently.
