Fertilizers.

The general turning of attention by
farmers toward the matter of fertilizers

note from the New England F1trn,er.
which just hits our idea of the way to com
mence their use, and it is the way we shall
follow when we begin to Use them. We
have never yet been so situated rs to SEQ
our way cl9ar to buy them, and have never
purchased II dollars WORTH though our
bills for meal and bran bought and fed on
the farm might, in part, be placed to the
fertilizer account, and some farms in our
vicinity. where the owners have boupbl
more extensively than we have, show the
effects yet more strikingly in the improy-
ed condition and increased fertility of the
farms:
70 those who have never used chemical
fertilizers, our advice always is. bcoin
upon small scale, and then increase AS
you see 1t pays, or discard them altoretb.
er II you Ind them more costly than Stable
manure. AS near as we can learn. oitv
and village stable manure is selling con
slderably lower now than previous to the
introduction of the Stockbridgc nanures.
A few years since ten dollars per cord was
about the average price for stable manures.
while now it is little more than half ne
high. Hundreds of cords are now sold
whlch cost about six dollars per cord ut
the railroad stations in the country
A great drawback in the sale of com.
mercia fertilizers has been the uncertainty
OF their qualify, and in his line the ex.
pertinent stations, those of Connecticut es.
pecmlly, have been serviceable in detect.
ing and exposing worthless compounds. or
those sold ut prices greatly above their
real value.

Big PREMIUMS ON FLOWING. - The
farmers of Stockbrdge, Mass, and town.
n The vicinity, who join in u fair ut thu

meeting of their society, that oxer

blow to the Fair, and dump it down
somewhere in the "opcn," or furnish his
own shelter, while the trotter" has a
nice box stall, and big premium, and
bigger purse. The trial of plows by the
ditor of the ~ Z. Farmer was step in
the right direction and II long one too, and
when an agricultural society is found who
will follow so good an example there will
be society which will be successful one
and do great good.

"WAnts to Know, You Know"

That's the condition of u correspondent
Of the american CultiUator, who has beer
collecting data on the comparative value
Of certain breeds Of cattle, and he seems
o be laboring under the idea which curl
ously enough is rather generally held, thai
it is part of the proper business of Agri
cultural Colleges to spread information on
agricultural matters. He puts it thusly:
True still more comprehensive state
ment could be made if the animals had all
leen kept and fed on one farm with the
same foods. This could easily be done al
our Slate Agricultural College at Amherst
where we have had for many years here's

information on this subject from the
college. In November, 1875, the superin
endcnt of the college farm promised me
record of the milkings for the press
which | could never get. In July, 1876,
the acting president advised me that
should have them for publication, but they
never were furnished. In March, 1877.
the State Board of Agriculture assured me
hat | should have the records for public
Use, but it proved like those that had pre-
'eded-a broken promise

The 9amily CireIe.
The DeacOn's Cat.

Teddy was known everywhere as tho
Deacon's cat. The Deacon had brought
him up from kittenhood, and used often to
boast that Teddy knew quite as much Us
some children.
The Cat had II history, too. The Deacon
once upon II time, was seen going down tc
the river, II bag on his shoulder, with II BIO
stone in it, followed for some distance by
two chubby children, crying Justify
Twice did the Deacon pat down the bag
which moved in spite Of the stone, and
mewed piteously, to chase the children
nome, but they still followed, though at Il
greater distance, and still cried. till the
Deacon and the empty bag came back
then they yelled.
On the following morning the Deacon
heard his little ones talking together in so
soft and subdued manner that he was
tempted to listen.
=" See it cuddle! Oh, amt you gIad?"
Eyes, amt it petty? It's all gray.

The Deacon laughed and sat down to
think. 1t would never DO to let the bows
Ieceive him after that fashion; 50, seeing
Johnny ate only half of his milk, and
Dickey saved II slice of his bread, he set
his wits to work.
81 wonder if found all them kittens,
mother?" he asked. The Deacon had
never studied Lindleys grammar
Johnny looked up in nervous terror. His
brown eyes dildted,

and II couple of entries of sugar. and but

Of fruit the display was small. w,
should judge there was not much alten

limits.
In all the Fairs we have attended, there
has been delay and difficulty in the getting
committees AMI setting them TO work.
having TO wait to see if they will com,
and to fill vacancies where they do nol
(Which is generally the case), and it is very
rare to find a committee with more than
one Of It's original members when they
finally get to work. The executive com
miItee of the Tunbridge Union have
adopted the western custom which will |
we think, remedy all this, i. e., TO asccr-
tain first whether the members of the com. |
mittee will serve or not, and then Day
lnem for their services. We would com.
mend this idea TO those other societies.
which have had so much difficulty in get
ting committees to work.
At the close Of the first day the society
had received over thirteen hundred entire,
more than last year and year before to-
EeIher. This, for society only three
years old, is a most satisfactory exhibit,
md one comparing very favorably with
older societies. They have in three years
fitted up their grounds quite nicely, are
mt of debt, and with the large entries of
his year, and the attendance which at this
wage of the Fair seems certain, they must
'ealize handsome surplus.

AMERICAN GIRLs.-This is what the
american Register tells the Parisans, per-
vertcd by the libels of "L'Oncle Sam :"
Your true American girl is very char
ming being. Like all creatures reared in
freedom, she possesses an untaught grace
and vigor of mind as well as ofbody. She
is no helpless pnppot, us is her European
prototype. pulled about by hidden wires,
and Kept perpetually in box. Bred amid
the healthful atmosphere of social sys
TEN of exceptional purity, respected, hon
orod and guarded from babyhood BY the
rhvaleous natures that surround her, she
learns to think and act for herself, and to
think and act Alright. lis we'll nigh i'm.
possible to over estimate her influence on
on our social system. Reared ut her side,
the American youth grows up with an in
stinctive reverence for and desire to pro-
tcct, helpless innocence and maidenly pul
riSy. The salons to which she lends the
charm OF her winning graces and youthful
sweetness are more potent for good than
were the salons of Recamier or De Stael.
The love that she inspires is u young
mans best shield against temptation. She
does not herself understand, the smiling
what good she has done. and is
doing every day. Yet her white image
has waved back many Il youth from the
pathway If temptation, her clear eyes lent
light to the comprehension of better
things"

IT Is AN ILL-WIND The protracted
war in Europe is not without its beneficial
effect upon business in this country, and
aside from the demand for breadstufIs
horses. etc, the manufacturers of firearms
have already derived II lucrative business.
The cartridge mandatory at Bridgepol t.,
Conn, is supplying material for both the
Russian and Turkish armies. and Ameri-
can bullets are hurled promiscously from
both sides. The Bridgeport company man
ufactures from six to seven INJURED thou
sand cartridges per day. They have sup
piled forty millions to Russia, seventy
millions to Turkey, and have Just received
an order of eighty millions from the Ital-
i'm government. Two tons of powder are
used each day, and other materials in like
proportion. An inspecting officer for Rus
sin and Turkey were recently alike en-
gagged side by side in experimenting the
production Of the cartridges for their res
pectivc governments.
