Swindling the Farmers.

Every spring brings forth host of adver-
tisements to catch the eye of the farmer.
They are very skilfully worded and set forth
enormous profits. Such an advertisement
or circular I received the other day from
some Western man name forgotten), who
claimed to have very prolific field-corn,
three stalks would average eleven sound
ears. An acre would yield two hundred
and fifty bushels of good corn, but he does
mot say two hundred and fifty bushels of
shelled corn. Sandford advertised his little
dusky white corn in the same way. A
number of farmers in this neighborhood
purchased it, and it proved to be misera-
BILE failure; yet Sandford found purchasers
at seven dollars per bushel. The Norway
oats was another swindle, for which far
mers paid extravagant price. 1t was moth
ing more than the black Poland or Feather
oats. And now we are to have Late Rose
potato, for which we are asked to pay a
large price, and it may prove to be nothing
more than the Garnett Chill, which is very
similar to the Early Rose in shape and COL
or. Farmers should be careful to purchase
only from honest seedsmen, and give swim
dlers and spectators wide berth.

Howto Build Brick Chimney Tops.


All the brickwork above the superstruc-
ture should be made with cement mortar,
which will absorb much less water than NOR
tar made Of caustic lime and sand. The
bricks for chimney top should be soaked
in water for a few minutes, so that they will
not extract the water from the lime. In
order to have mortar become very hard, it
must dry slowly. By laying up wet bricks,
the mortar will set slowly, dry slowly, and
eventually become almost as hard as the
bricks. Every brick chimney should be
covered at the top with copestone, with
an arched top, or with bricks placed over
the flues, like the rafters of building, for
the purpose of turning off the water, which
would go down the inside, be absorbed by
the bricks, and in some instances, soak
through and wet the paper or kalsomining
on the inside. A chimney top laid up with
good cement mortar, and covered with a
copestonc or chimney arch, will stand the
influences of the weather for more than a
hundred years without any repairs. In

Insurance Notice.

On and after the tenth day of April,
1879, The Home Reserve force of Insur-
ance Agents belonging to "The Pennsylva-
mia Central Insurance Company" will leave
Pottsville in heavy force, and occupy ten
different counties of the State, where they
will continue to act as the Company's
Agents until a full line of Local Agents
can be appointed, when they will be recalled.
AS body of men, believe they are supe-
rior Insurance Agents, and most of them
speak the English, French, Welsh and Ger
man Languages. The City Insurance
Journals, with all their sneers at Mutual
Companies, and continual cry Of Fraud !
Fraud &C., cannot muster any better In
surance material Why don't the City In
surance papers tell the public that no Mu-
tual Company broke or failed during the
last ten years? Why don't they tell the
public that more than half the Stock Com
panies started within the last ten years
have? 1t is well-known fact that Mutual
Companies cannot fail.

Good News to Peach Growers.

The st. Joseph Herald gives the result of
the application of hot water and ashes to
peach trees, to eradicate the yelIops: "The
yellows, which have been such bane to
peach orchards, promises so to continue no
longer. Simultaneously from the East,
South and West, comes word that the tree
revives, puts forth new foliage, and ripens
its fruit under the influence of hot water
and ashes. John Whittlesey, Esq, was
the first in this vicinity to announce the
discovery of fungoidal disease at the root
of the tree. Mr.. Thomas Meehan, of the
Ga'dner'S Monthly, shortly after announced
his investigation in the same direction.
The investigation of Prof Kedz, of Lam
sing State Agricultural College, on the yell
low, led him to the same conclusion. We
are safe in saying that the right direction
has at last been reached in the investigation
of this disease and its remedy. AS yet the
subject has not been exhausted nor has
certainty been reached in the eradication
or cure of the evil. This, however, is GER
tain that the application of hot water and
ashes has saved many trees. Query-Is
this due to the action of heat alone and if
so would not peck of unslaclSed lime
about the collar of the tree, we'll covered
up by Stacking, produce heat enough to ac-
complish the same result? Every tree in
every orchard ought to have pail of hot
water poured around the collar of the tree
every Spring. This would accomplish two
results, namely: 1t would kill the peach
borer or grub, and arrest the yellow in its
incipient stages. Either one of these re-
suits would amply compensate the labor
involved"

How TO Select FIour.

1. Look at its color; if it is white, with
slightly yellowish Or straw-colored tint, it
is good sign. If it is very white, with a
blush cast, or with black specks in it, the
flour is not good. 2. Examine its adhe-
siyeness, wet and knead a little Of it be-
tween the fingers if it works dry and elas-
tic it is good if it works soft and sticky it
is poor. Flour made from spring wheat is
likely to be sticky. 3. Throw little lump
of dry -four against dry, smooth, perpen-
dicnlar surface; If it adheres in lump, the
flour has life in it; if it falls like powder, it
is bad. A. Squeeze some of the -four in
your hand if it retains the shape given by
the pressure, that, too is good sign.
Flour that win stand all these tests it is
safe to buy. These modes are given by
old flour dealers. 'FHtt4iyF
