Work After Harvest.

We will again mentan to farmers that there
30 tune in The yssr whsu meadows aud helds.
from which wheat ami oats have been taken,
may be so mnch benefited as immediately af-
ter the crop has been removed for at that time
The farmer knows jnst what condition they are
in, as to product veness, etc. Now is the time
20 mark those spots where the grass or grain
was light and If from being low and wet, rem
edy when time will permit, by drainage; II
from lack Of fertility, bring up into proper con-
llion.
Itis often the case that fields do not actually
require the application Of fertilizers to the en-
tire surface when said fields are as whole
in good producing coniitan, and little obser
vation at harvest time will determine the mat
ter, for there are no better indicators of good
and poor soil than when plants grow upon it
themselves.
The present is also good time for removing
Instructions to the moving machine, horse rake,
&c. 1t does not pay to n INV arouhd stones
stumps, logs, snags and bushes, year after
year, but 1t does pay TO remove them to give
the machine full aud free sweep.
We do not approve of hauling manure upon
grass land at any season of the year but spring
for if drawn out in the summer il is liable to dry
up and a good deal Of Its fort'izng element
be caTrird away upon the atmosphere II drawn
out in fall or winter, ald heavy rains will,
while the earth is frozen, wash portion away
to the streams but If drawn out and spread
upon the surface in the spring just as the grass
begins to grow is soon covered aud the warm
rains wash il down around the roots of the grass
when the full beueft Is recsived. This matter
is mentioned in connection with the subject I'M
der consideration, as many farmers are in the
habit Of hauling out manure upon the grass
land directly after baying, believing It to be 40
prohtblv dnne at that time as at any other,
Now is good time to level down knOlls and
mounds aud hll up upoven spots, The advant
age in deing the work now lies in exposing the
soil which is laid bare 10 the aciua of the at
mospheTe. frOsts and sun for ssfue months be-

be saved for this purpose.

CINcISNATI, August IL, 1871


r. W. FARwELL, Esq, Secretary:
After a careful observation uf the practcaI
workings Of the Btbcoek Fire Extiuguisher for
several years past, am fully convinced that
their general adoption in manufactures, public
buildings, hotels, residences, ETC., would result
in saving to our community annually large pc
cuniRry losses, and also afford us far greater
security from fire than we now enjoy
They have already rendered valuable serv-
ces in Connection with cur Fire Department in
many instances, especially at the fire in the
block Of buildings on the corner of vine and
fifth streets, where, by their use, heavy stock
of ofclothing, hats, etc., was saved from damage
by water.
sufficient number OF Extnguishers, with a
proper organization, w0uld make an efficient
hre department iortO and villages. hear
lily recommend their general use as protec-
tion against loss by fire and water.
Very truly, e. G. MEGRUE.

The P. C. NJ. C. Report.

The Poland Credit Mobilier Committed made
their anticipated report in the House Of Repre-
sentatives yesterday. Thoconclusious reached
by the committee are simply astounding
They fud nothing in the couinct or motives
Of Blaine, Dawes, Schofed, Bingham, Kelley,
and Garfield, that calls f1r any recommenda-
ton on the part Of the committee. The only
criticism that is tenderly yentured upon is that
these Representatives, in taking M0bllier stock
from Oakes Ames, were not sufficiently care
ful to ascertain what they were getting. With
Oakes Ames and James Brooks the commit
tee deal very differently. They hold that both
were culpable, aud recommend that both
he expelled from their seats as members Of the
House Of Representatives So Mr. Brooks,
who did not get his stock from Oakes Ames,
but from the company, is to be expelled not
because he was a Congressman, but because be
is or was. a Government director with which
fact Congress has nothing to Do whilst Oakes
Ames is to be expelled for bHbing the other
Congressman, who, if we are to accept the con-
cusions Of the committee, were not bribed at
all. And this view Of these scandaous trans
actions, we regret to say, appears to be shared
by all members Of the Poland committee, who,
we are told were unanimous in asserting to

Strike Ended.

The strike Of the printers Of this city has
ended. as all those who could see an inch be-
vopG their noses knew it must end, in the total
disruption Of Wheeling Typographical Union
No. 70. The strike was ordered By dictato-
rial and tyrauical majority who over-rode the
protests Of a conservative minority Of nine out
Of twenty-five members, and in defiance Of the
law of the International Typographical
Union which requires that all differences be-
tween emp oysrs and employees shall be settled
by arbitration if possible. The men who
forced the strike knew they were 10 the wrong
and Of course refused to listen to reason. The
result we have given. At the meeting held on
Saturday night the Union was dissolved and
the charter surrendered Another warning to
workingmen never to attempt to fo'ce propri-
etors or employers into measures until after all
honorable means looking TO a compromise and
settlement have failed. The printers who a
little over week ago had good situations aud
we're supporting their ami.ie. in good style
are now wandering from place TO place earning
less wages than they were paid here before tie
strikes, compelled to support their families
here and themselves abroad The usual result

The Price Of Type.

Messrs. Geo p Rowell & Co. announce
that they have at their werchouse in New York
an assortment Of type from one Of the most
celebrated foundries in the world, tha. OF Fig
ings. London, England. which they will sell
at 20 per cent discount from the American
scale. when ordered in fonts of 100 pounds
and upwards. They slss offer 70 import large
fonts on special orders at greater discount
from the American scale, and profess 70 be
able 20 I'LL the largest order in eight weeks from
date of its receipt in New York. They sup
plv sorts in large or small quantities from their
stock on hand in New York at the American
scale rate. They assert that If the present
duty on type shall be removed, the price of the
article both of home and foreign manufacture,
will Immediately fall 40 per cent below the
present scale. Messrs Geo p Rowell & Co.
are known as conducting the largest adyerti-
sing business ever secured by one house, and
are also extensive dealers in printing material.
They are compelled to impo-t foreign goods
because American founders. governed by a
close corporation or ring, keep the price vast
ly too high and at the same time make II an
exception To- every other species Of merchan-
disc by recognizing no wholesale price; the
same amount per pound being charged to the
purchaser, of five thousand pounds as would
be paid by him who wants but fifty.
