The Stockbridge Formulas.

Stopping u few minutes at Aver de-
pot few days ago we were struck with
the remarks of an intelligent farmer to
those about him: This movement
about the Stockbridge fertilizers and
formulas is going to do a great deal of
HARM said he; "a good many farmers
are going into 1t strong and they are
going to lose by it. 1 believe it is
cheaper to manure with shorts or In
dian meal than with any such fertil-
iEers." We have expressed doubt
whether Professor Stockbridge can ac-
complish all he claims by the use Of his
fertilizers and we are induced by what
we daily read and hear to examine the
subject more carefully. If this be
really n new departure in agriculture
and to work a revolution in New Eng
land farming, as claimed, then every
farmer ought to know it. If. on the
contrary, 1t be claim not we'll found
ed. or deception, the sooner exposed
the better.
Professor Stockbridge, in his part of
the annual report of the Massachusetts,
agricultural college, says that he has
received "a United States patent cover
ing the right to manufacture and sell
fertilizers prepared according to his
formulas" and an advertising circular
has been sent out announcing that a
single firm in Boston is authorized to
sell them.
II strikes US as somewhat strange that
an institution organized and supported
by public funds for the benefit of agri-
culture should allow its professors to
take out patents for the discoveries
made 10y experiments on the college es-
tate, and farm them out for the profit
OF professors and dealers. However
honestly intended has not this arrange
ment all the ordinary marks of pecu
mary speculation, using the agricul
tural college as its basis? If it bs

says:
"Thess fertilizers are made for differ
snt crops by formulas worked out b,
Prof Stockbridge, of the Massac husett
agricultural college. and have given ex
traordinary results at small cost, pro
ducing, for example, from seventy-fiv
to one hundred bushels of corn to tn
acre, and corresponding results wit
other crops, without any manure, at
cost of about SOS per acre, and withou
exhauEting the soil, but leaving
richer, by actual test"
The pamphlet issued by the agent
explains how these extraordinary re
suits are produced and the same expla

Merino Sheep Register.

The executive board of the Vermont
Merino Sheep Breeders Association
met in this place Friday, March 81,
and adopted list of rules to govern the
application and admission of flocks of
sheep to the register of the association.
Two u the board only were absent and
they from causes beyond their control.
All the officers of the association
have accepted their appointments, are
interested in its success, and we have
their assurance that they will labor
faithfully to carry out the designs of
the association and make it succeed in
accomplishing the greatest possible
amount of good.
The rules for the admission Of sheep
to the register wers all carefully con-
sidered, and We think, on the whole,
they are as good as can be devised.
While they are unusually stringent in
guarding against having grade sheep
imposed upon the committee and en-
dorsed by the associations register to
deceive the public, there is no standard
set up tina. cannot be maints ined by
the committee on pedigreea. AS there
are no sheep in Vermont or in the
Union that can he traced through "a
perfect authenticated line of ancestry"
back to importation from Spain, no
such standard is set up, ns it cannot be
maintained by any committee of hon.
orable men.
Every one acquainted with the gen.
tlemen comprising the committee on
pedigrees will feel that while they will
be treated with impartiality their state
ments and evidence will be scanned
closely, and that no sheep will be re-
ceived that cannot be shown to have
good and just claims to be considered
pure Spanish merinos. The work of
this committee will be all arduous one,
but when it is accomplished we predict
twill receive the appreciation and conf
denee of the association and the public.
Another thing that will commend
this association and its register TO flock
masters is its economic plan. While
the work and its advantages will be
very great not only to flock masters,
but to the public, the cost of entering
and getting the full benefits will be
comparatively small,
Another important and we think an
excellent feature of this register is its
freedom from the Objectionable plan of
a competitive register. There is no in
terested committee going at great ex-
pense to give their opinion on the
merits of the individuals Of our flocks,
and from whose decision there is no
appeal.
The Vermont Merino Sheep Breed
ers' Association is an institution de-
manded by the best interests of sheep
breeders everywhere, and we feel as
sured that it is now in the way to &C
complish a great and good work, and
with the present determination and in
terest shown by its members will most
assuredly accomplish that work in a
speedy and satisfactory manner, and no
Vermonter with the true interests and
honor of his state at heart, and who
desires to maintain the reputation and
prestige of her fiocks, or the purity and
improvement of her sheep, will fail to
sustain the association in carrying for
ward and completing this work.

STEINBERGER'S KINGDOM.
His Brothers Statement of the
Troubles at Samoa.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 5.-The Belandia, the
first British mail line to Australia, arrived here
today, having among her passengers A. w.
Coe. the former American commercial agent at
Samoa and Steinberger's brother. They state
that after the Reinforcement of Maletoa by the
the natives on account of his deposng Stein
berger as premier, Capt. Stevens commanding
the British steamer BaracOuta, landed with a
force of marines and went to the council house
where the legislature was assembled, with the
intention of dethroning Maletoa. The chiefs
ordered the native guards to take position in
the vicinity of the council house. Stevens
ordered his men to disarm the natives. The
guards resisted and a fight ensued in which
four marines were killed and eight ;mortally
wounded. Three natives were killed and five
slightly wounded. The natives were in suffi-
Gent force to have exterminated the marines.
but were restrained by their chiefs, who told
Capt Stevens they had no desire to fight but
would defend their rights. Capt. Stevens took
the wounded on board the Baracouta and he
again landed with artillery, threw up breast
days but no further demonstrations were made
by the natives. They then returned to the
Baracouta, taking three chiefs as hostages.
Meantime the British steamer Sapphire ar
rived and the chefslwere transferred to her aud
the Barracuda sailed fora FIJI; Islands, taking
as prisoners Steinberger. his brother and Coe,
who was carried away simply for his loyalty to
the native government, and landed them at
Fiji.
The Baracouta has been ordered to Auck-
land presumably to have the acts of her captain
investigated. Steinberger went to confront
him and demand satisfaction for the outrage
perpetrated upon him at leaving Samoa. The
Tuscarora would be due in ten days.
Mr.. Foster, the American counsel, acted
throughout in harmony with the British. Coe
and Steinberger also reiterated the statement
that the main trouble arises from Vaccinations
of the English missionaries whose nrofits
were impaired by regulations introduced by
Stenberger; also by the Beachcombers, Sidney
Ducks & Co.. who disliked his interference
with their liquor selling and other pursuits
