stlpula,ions tn Promlssory Notes.

EFFECT UPON THEIR NEGoTIABILITY.
Some uneasiness has been created
among buyers of commercial paper by
the late decision of the Pennsylvania
Supreme Court in Woods VS.. North,
where it was held that in promissory
note for certain sum "and five per cent.
collection fee if not paid when DUE" this
clause rendered the paper rnOn-negotiable.
The opinion, by Judge Sharswood, is to
the effect that the stipulation renders the
amount due on the note uncertain, when,
according to Story and other test writer's,
negotiable note must be for "sum or
sums of money certain" Whatever we
or others may think of this reasoning,
the decision is now the law of Pennsyl-
vania, and dealers in paper so drawn as
to be governed by the law of that State
must shape their action accordingly. But
80 far as many other States are concern
ed, the point has been decided otherwise,
and the Supreme Court of Kansas, In
Seaton VS.. Scoville, adjudicated at the
july term, it seems to us has much the
| better argument. In that case the stlpu-
| lation was TO pay certain sum with IN
terest at twelve per cent. per annum after
| due until paid; also costs of collecting
including reasonable attorneys fees, II
suit be instituted on this note" The
| Court held the paper negotiable, reject
| ing the contention adopted in PennS%l J.
J yania, with the observations: "Tht
amount due at the maturity OF the paper
| is certain, and the only uncertal nty Is II
| the amount which shall be collectible III
case the maker defaults at the maturity
of the paper in his promise to pay, and
| The holder is driven to the necessity o
| instituting a suit for collection, and then
only as to the expenses ofsuch collection.

HOW MUCH STOCK TO AN ACRE

Macy interesting experiments have
been tried by our farmers at various
times to determine the highest feeding
capacity of an acre of ground, and some
very remarkable results have been repor-
ted; but pre- cisely what the best attain
able results are is still an open que7tion.
Probably some of our numerous readers
can shed some light on this subject from
their own experience.
Whether ten acres of ground of aver
age fertility will keep more or less than
that number of cattle, carrying them
through the year in good condition is a
question of no little interest, for it is
closely related to the prosperity of hus-
bandry.
One thing at least is certain. If we
take what has been considered the aver
age experience of farmers on this subject
it will be found to fall very much below
the higher results actually reached by the
skill and perseverance, of some of our
practical men. And here comes in the
point we wish to come at. Why do the
average results of our husbandry invari-
liable fall so far below the achievements
of some of the leading men? OF course
we cannot expect that all will rise to the
level of the highest But why do SO many
fall behind, and so far behind? If one
man by adding brain power 70 his mus
cular force can make an acre support
two or three cows, is there any sufficient
reason why another should require two
or three acres to support one? We
should like to receive from farmers some
account of what they have accomplished
in this direction; and from what particu-
lar crop or kind of food an acre can be
made to produce the greatest amount of
actual nutriment, or feeding value.
