TertiIiHers for Tobacco.

Mr.. James M. Crafts, of Whately,
Franklin county, Massachusetts, sends to
this department the following interesting &C.
count of the extensive use of manures
and other fertilizers, and Of the manner
of applying them in raising tobacco in
that section
am one of company of five persons
who, in the last two years, have bought
and shipped from Whitehall, New York i,
over so carloads of horse-mannre. Other
parties have bought fully as much in
Middlebury, Rutland, Montpelier, and
Saint Johnsbury, Vermont. The cost
at our station has averaged about $40
per cord. Other parties have bought
manure from the East Albany cattle
yards-perhaps so carloads in less than
two years-all of which, l think, has
been sheep-dung. Others have been to
New Haven, Connecticut, and still others
to Boston and Cambridge and now two
of our farmers have been to Canada and
bought % carloads. A carload of
horse-manure contains about cords,
perhaps O. on the average. This is
generally obtained from livery.
stables. That from Whitehall, New
York, is from stables where canal horses
and mules are kept. These are fed high
ly with grain, and the manure is
very valuable. 1t is used on tobacco
lands at the rate of about 10 cords to
the acre. Probably there is no other
species of manure which affords in such
abundance all the elements of tobacco.
1t is rich in potash, phosphoric acid,
magnesia, &c.
| will add word about our mode of
applying manure to tobacco. If, after
spreading broadcast, we pillow it under, the
blowing is very shallow-not more than
five or six inches deep. But as rule we
prefer to allow the manure to ferment and
become fine, then spread it even and work
it in upon the plowed surface with the
gang-plow or with one of the wheel pulver-
izing-hlrrows and we like the kind that
is attached to straight piece of plank
with tongue and seat. We would like to
60 over the ground as many as eight times
with it /; in fact we generally do 60 four
times one way and as many the other, find
ing our pay for the extra labor in the fine
ness of the soil. We are doing this work
more thoroughly than we used to, and think
we are well paid forit. We next fit the hills
by ridging the land 81 feet apart and the
hills two feet. Under this course we have
found that we do not get much advantage
from the use of superphosphates in the hill.
Some have tried experiments by using
wheat-shorts as fertilizer for tobacco, at
the rate Of three tons to the acre. A men,
Der of our club raised an acre of tobacco
with shorts as fertilizer, and the crop was
good one, estimated at 1880 pounds.
On another piece he tried Indian meal at the
same rate with not as good results. On
four acres he used eight hundred pounds of
shorts and one hundred to one hundred and
fifty pounds ofsuperphosphate strewed (af-
ter marking) on the marks, and then ridged
so that the hills were made over the shorts
and superphosphate. This gave him the
best tobacco he ever grew, though he had
used, by working in on the plowed surface,
about eight cords Of manure and eight hum
dred pounds of Peruvian guano to the
acre.-Agicultural Report.

MARRIED WOMAN'S PROPERTY
RIGHTS-A WIFE MAY BECOME A
PARTNER WITH HER HUSBAND.-The
opinion of the U. S. district court for
the northern district of Illinois, delivered
by Blodgett, j., commenting upon the
statue Of 1861, relating to the property
rights Of married women, and the decisions
of the supreme court of this state, con-
structing the same, and holding that
the statute Of 1861 and of 1869,
her own earnings, has made a
radical change in the common law, and
that now the wife is absolute mistress of
her own earnings; can bring suit in her
own name to collect them may superin-
tend her separate property, make bind
ing contracts in relation thereto, devote
her time to such occupation as is most
congenial to her tastes, and control her
earnings, and that she may therefore
engage in trade either with or without
her husbands consent, and that wife
may become partner in business even
with her own husband. Judge Blod-
gett construes these statues as if the
legislature intended to effect some change
in the law in passing them, and not as if
the common law rule was still in force in
this state as to the property of married
women. When we drew the act of 1860,
giving to married woman her own earn
ings, it was done with the intention of
giving her the right to contract, to be con-
tyacted with and to do business. We fully
indorse the liberal construction placed upon
this act by judge Blodgett, and believe it
will stand the test of time.- Chicago Legal

An Eagles Scream.

If you have an eagles nest in one of your apple trees, don't meddle with it, or you will have cause to repent of your act, as did North Bridgewater man, according to the Press, which tells the tale as follows: A couple of the birds of freedom, who trusted to the sanctity of the domestic circle in North Bridge water, have been rearing a family of young eagles in the woods bordering the town. On Monday afternoon, while MT. and Mrs. Eagle were off on for aging expedition to a neighboring poul- try yard, marauding biped stole 8 march on them, and captured Gall their pretty chickens at one fell swoop." The old folks got back just as the spoiler was departing, and for few minutes it was the most even fight that ever was witnessed. Hair, feathers and clothing filled the air in about equal proportions, until about the only thing that covered the young mans back was that pair of eagles, and he ran into Factory village in the uniform of @ Georgia major, a shirt and pair of spurs. The spurs he got of the eagles. His face looked like victim of freckle lotion, or Chinese alphabet. He was about the most tazon- ted man in town.

Polar Research.

The Stockholm Afoablad of the 17th of July contains some official accounts from the commander of the North Pole expedition. They wintered in 79o 53' north latitude and 16o 15' east longitude, where they put together house, the in tention being for the ships to proceed Der to make depots of stores at intervals the sledging parties that would follow at later period. This design, however, was frustrated by the early severity of the winter. On the 4th of October the scientific members of the expedition took up their abode in the house. On the 20th of the same month the sun dis been already hidden from their view on the 18th by high mountains. Still day light continued to some extent till the latter part of November, when it may be said it was totally dark at midday. Oc- casionally up to this date the tempera- ture fell to 28degrees Celsius, but it was not painful either when moving about or while sleeping in tent on the ice. No open water was visible at all. The health of all was satisfactory, until the rdGlOuS were reuuC0u III Oruer to aSSlSG starving ships crews who walked across tho ice on hearing of the expedition. Scurvy resulted from this privation. Important results are expected from the observations taken, especially of the Northern lights as analysed by the spectrum. As regards the deep sea dredging, it could be continued nearly the whole time, and the specimens brought to the surface showed that ani- nal life was in no way interfered with by severe cold and darkness continuing for many months, and that sea-weeds also fourished. The sun was not visi- ble from the 20th of October to the 21st of February following, but the moon showed itself uninterruptedly night and day, during every alternate fortnight, for ten days of which it never disap- peared below the horizon. The dis patch was dated the 23d of February this year, and ended with the. express sion of hope of being able to proceed farther north as soon as circumstances should permit. One of the three ships forming the expedition had lately come into harbor in Norway.
