OYSTER SHELs-We are surprised that

q. r. Il. should not buy such valuable ferti-
lizer as oyster shells. $50 bushels of shells
about eight tous-can be had for S. l2,and the
freight IS, per car load Anywhere along the
line OF the Railroad, from Falls Church to
Hamilton, they have plenty of brush and wood
to burn them with, aud thirty bushels per acre
will make valuable manure it is permanent
and lasting. w. H. Foote, of Hay6eld Fair
lax county, twenty years ago, put them on his
lands, and they lasted for twenty years. Why
waste their effects in fertilizers costing $40 to
$50 per ton, when shell lime can be had for
- to 2.25. The season for securing shells is
from, December to April, after which time they
get scarce. .-LoW<loun Enterprise.

A CRANBERRY FoRTUNE-A merchant o1
Chicago was induced by two friends to invest
with them 10 land speculation at some dis
tance otf-the purchase was made, and the
parties divided the land in three parts, keep
ing the two best locations as they supposed,
for themselves, and appropriating the other
to the, absent partner for some years he con-
tinued to pay taxes for it, without ever hay
ing seen it; but finally becoming ruined in
trade, he beihought himself to visit his distant
property, when, to add to his troubles he
found that his friends had palmed upon him
an apparently worthless swamp The New
York Independent thus tells the rest of the
story:
SighiDe just little at the duplicity Of his
friends he wandered over the .swamps he
almost disdained to call his own, aud splushcd
through its mud and water in desperate hope
lcsSness. Poverty and want stared him in the
face, when 10 something else stared him 10
the face too. lie found something upon his
land What was it :? II was. not California
gold nor South African diamonds !; neither oil,
iron, or coal 1t was wild cranberrles. Pres
I" change y Now mark the result That
land is worth $500 per acre and he is worth
half million dollars He was shrewd man,
with an eye to business and he saw at once
Il fortune in those cranberries, aud went to
work to realize it by cultivation and systematic
labor, and be has regularly trained brigade
of children and hands to pick and prepare the
cranberries for market, for which he realizes
as high as $24 per barrel, while the men who
intended to play joke on him now mourn
over their own Invaluable land and sigh for the
fortune their joking cost them.
