A. b. Carpenter You all know that

yet | have some views Of my own. This
question is too broad for one evening. My
views are different from q great many on
this subject. We know there are different
kinds Of manure, and many different ways of
applying them. Those that are commonly
used | shall not say much about but shall
speak Of other materials used as manure.
Some say muck, some marl sand, gravel,
etc, | have stated that good manure can be
made of sand. To certain extent there is
a value in sand if applied on cold wet land,
but on cold springy land it is Of little value
II our farms were alike there would not be

Gov. Washburn, of Wisconsin, in his re-

rebuke to the whole system of L" grab.bag,
rattle, prize package and guess cake, which
so many Christian churches have couutenanc.
ed. The Governor says
The laws of the state as applicable to
professional gamblers are doubtless all sufi.
cieut and only require to be enforced. But
some law seems to be required to break up
the schools where gamblers are made. Even
the Church, (unwittingly, no doubt,) is some
times found doing the work of the devil.
Gift concerts, gift enterprises, aud rafiies,
sometimes in aid Of religious and charitable
objects, but often for less worthy Objects
lotteries, prize packages, &C., are all devices
to obtain money without value received.
Nothing is so demoralizing or intoxicating
particularly to the young, as the acquisition
of money or property without labor. If you
can devise some law to break up these prac-
tices and bring them into discredit you will
deserve the thanks OF all good people

Peter Slocum, who writes the Corn
Crib Letters in the Prairie Farmer, has
gone into the crab apple business. He
says
| would like to say in this connection that
| am ready to employ few able-bodied and
limber-tongued men and women of both
sexes to sell crab apple trees of my peculiar
brand on commission. | would prefer to
contract with those who have had employ
ment in travelling in the life insurance and

and is very original in its design and execu-
ton.
People armed with both of these weapons
can generally strike trade in every house
because somebody is sure to be impressed
with high art. or with the moral and intel
lectual beauties of growing sour apple trees.
Some agents do best in Offering the crowmo
AS II premium for taking the trees, but others
make most by bribing the people TO take the

of conducting the business is satisfactory to
me.

The farmers of illinois met on Wednes-
day in State convention, at Springfield,
for the redress Of grievances. Although
other matters we're on the programme, the
uppermost question in all minds is the rail-
road one, aud this will doubtless be the top
10 Of the convention. The temper in which
the farmers approach it is very radical not
to use stronger word; it is given out,
probably correctly, that they will bind them
selves before adjourniug to sink party poll
tics until this question is disposed Of, and to
exact distinct anti.railroad pledges of every
candidate for Legislature or Congress before
giving him their votes. The gathering
promises to be very large; all the counties
in the state, it is said, will be represented.
We shall give the results of their delibera-
tions next week, and then Vermont farmers
can judge whether they are ready to go with
them in the work OF reform.
