Still They Come.

Those humbugs! Those hulless oats. It is
strange that they have them in every city
and large village in the United States, and
travelling agents besides. How firm the

not the poor farmer sometimes fix his priceP
We have heard of them before, and tho best
answer is that of tho Net0 York Tribune,

article, we had better wait awhile before
trying the new.
Then the haying comes with new travellers
trying to sell new machines. Their brass
models look enticing.
And so 1t goes on through the year; we
don't want those visitors; our organization
is instituted in part to buy of the manufao-
turers. We can get nearly all our farming
tools and household utensils without the aid
of these agents, and know that they are re-
liable.
Our trees we can buy direct from relia-
BILE nursery at prices from to ! less than

them until we are prepared to raise an orch

The newspapers catch more great crimi-
nails than the detectives do; the reporter has
sharper scent for facts and more skill in
following clue than the professionals. The
East Boston murderer was arrested by the
police, but not until the newspapers had
made it impossible that he could walk
abroad in daylight. anywhere IN New Eng
land. The reporters had found out the man
and put tens of thousands of people ON the
search for him and then his arrest became
certain. The police urge as an objection
against the publication Of crimes and facts
incident thereto, that criminals will thus
learn that tho crime has been discovered,
but he will suspect that whether II isor is not
published. and the publication will mako
him no more anxious to escape detection,
while it will put the whole public on the
search for him. This may detraet from the
credit awarded TO the detectives, and lessen
the rewards" for successful work, hut II will
mako more certain this detection Of crime,

Co-0perative Stor es.


W. II. Earle, president Of the National
Council, at the meeting of the State Council,
last week, explained.a plan for cooperative
stores which looks like the best aud safest
VIC have seen. He proposes to have a cash
capital large enough to do all the business
on the cash basis, buying for cash and SELL
ing for cash, invariably. This capital to be
divided in shares of, say five dollars each,
the shares to be taken by members Of the or
der, and no individual to be allowed to take
more than fifty shares. The store to be over
seen by board of three directors chosen an
nually by vote Of the stockholders, each
stakeholder to have one vote. These direct
ors are to employ an agent on stated SAL
airy to do the business and keep the store,
and the agent to give sufficient bonds for the
faithful discharge of his duties. The goods
are to be sold at the prevailing prices in the
other stores near by. Once in three months
the directors are to take an account Of stock
and make report to the shareholders of
the condition of the store, and, after paying
the agents salary and all expenses Of the
store, a reasonable rate Of interest, the rate
to be fixed by the articles of association,
is to be paid to the stockholders on the mon.
ey they have invested, out of the profits Of
the store. All this time the agent shall have
kept an accurate account of the amount OF
purchases made by members of the council
Nine-tenths of any surplus of profit left af-
ter paying the running expenses and interest
on the stock is to be divided among those
members of the council who have traded al
the store in exact proportion to the amount
Of purchases, the other tenth being set aside
for sinking fund.
BY this plan, it will be seen, the proprie.
tors Of the store, as such, get no profit be-
yond a reasonable interest on the money in
vested, except the same dividends received
by other customers who belong to the order
all profit being divided among those custom
erS who are members Of the society.
Such a store would have several advan
tages. No one man, not even the stoekhod
ers alone, but every member of the council o
grange, would have a direct personal and pc
cuniary interest in extending the business 0
the store as far as possible. Each membe
of the order would see it for his own advan
tage and profit to induce as many outsider
/. as possible to patronize the store, as ever.

Consecrated Pocket-Books.

One of the last things wording conse-
crates to Christ is the pocket-book. Multi
tudes who profess the Christian faith have
never yet thought of doing 1t. The rich
young man who came to our Savior, had
kept all the commandments, and he had also
kept all his money; and when the Lord
babe him give his wealth to the poor, and
come and follow Him, he went away sor-
rowful for he had great possessions.
But when God visits soul in mercy and
enriches it with grace, how soon the hold on
this world relaxes how soon the world to
come absorbs the heart. Let salvation come
to the house of Zaccheus, and while Pharisees
murmur that Christ has gone to be u sinners
guest, 10, the rich publican stands and says
unto the Lord, Behold, Lord. the half of
my goods give to the poor: and if l have
taken anything from any man by false ac-
cusation, | restore him lourlold." Luke
XIX.
There are many who desire that salvation
may come to their houses, but they
arc not willing it should come rs it came to
the house of Zaccheus, when Jesus himself
brought it. They desire to inherit eternal
but they are not willing to sell, and give
aims, and thus place their wealth where
moth and rust do not corrupt and where no
thieves break through and steal They wish
10 be wholly consecrated to God, but they do
not wish to consecrate their pocket-books,
and they go away sorrowlul, because they
have great possessions.
Reader, you desire to be free. But you
cling to the world, and the world clings to
you. Desiring.to be rich you fall into a snare,
and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, that
drown men in destruction and perditon.
The cares of this world, the doceitfulness of
riches, and the lusts Of other things, like
growing thorns, choke the word of God that
is sown in your heart, and it becometh UNI
fruitful. You are unhappy, Disconnected,
unsatis6ed: and what shall be the end OF
alp The current of worldliness grows stron-
ger and stronger. You are borne farther and
farther away from God and peace. Tho
whirlpool sucks you down-drowned at last
in destruction and perdition.
Oh,lman of God, flee these things. BE moi
highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches
Cut loose from world that is doomed tc
ruin, and lay aside every weight that hinders
in the heavenly race. Let your conservation
TO God be immediate. complete, eternal.
Lay all upon the altar. Let the pocket-booR
and all which it contains, with heart and
hand, and house, and home, and farm. anc
merchandise, and time, and talent, and in
tluence, and reputation, go into the worl
and cause of God. So doing, you shall es
cape the snares that lurk around you, anC
laying up n good foundation against thu
time to come, lay hold on eternal life, and
have treasure In the heavens that failetl
not, whore no theft approacheth, neither
moth corrupteth. The Christian.

the board of agriculture propose to have the
various fertilizers which are for sale in Yer.
mont analysed, and the analyses, with esti'
mates of their value, given to the public, as
was done in 1872. We would recommend
parties interested to send to the secretary,
Prof Peter Collier, at Burlington, samples
of fertilizers, say pound or two of each, by

Eistula of the Withers.

The symptoms of the early stage
that is, before n fistuIa is estab-
lishod--are merely an enlargement
of the ends Of the spinous processes,
accompanied by heat and tenderness;
but this goes on until an abcess
forms, which may be known to the
touch. AS soon as this is made out
an opening should be made as low
as possible on the right side, taking
care that it will allow all the matter
to run out rs fast rs it forms. When
an actual fstula has been ostab-
llshed. and the matter points before
or behind the shoulder blade, q suffi-
GENTLY large opening should at
once be made, avoiding any pouch
below that will permit any accumu-
lation. In very many cases the
establishment of this dependent
opening will alone suffice to effect a
cure. In cases of long standing a
stimulant must be applied to the
interior of the fstula. This may
be effected by seaton or by means
of injections composed of chloride

RcmcdX for Cnhhngc Worm.

Hellobore, lime, salt and similar
substances have been used with
varied success for the destruction Of
cabbage worms. 1t is now stated
that bran and buckwheat flour an
swers the purpose better than any
other remedies that have been tried.
The bran is simply busted over the
infected cabbages as soon as the
worms make their appearance. If
the worms are very thick, about a
handful Of bran is required to each
cabbage head, and sometimes it is
necessary to 60 over the plants n
second time. A hundred weight Of
bran is sufficient for an acre. 1t
must be applied when the worms
are young. When they are full
grown or very strong, it does not
appear to affect them. The buck
wheat -four is siftcd upon them by
means of sieve-in the evening or
in the morning-when the dew is
on the plants. If one application
does not destroy the worms, q
second one should be made. 1t is
probable that wheat flour, fine In
dian meal or any other pulverized
farinaceous substance would have
the same effect American Garden.
