The Work of State Board Of A gricuIture

The State Boards OF our neighboring States,
Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, are
exhibiting zeal and activity worthy of their
noble purpose. Each county is provided with
public meetings Of the Board, while the pro-
ceedings not only awaken intense interest
among the farmers in the vicinity, but leave
their impression on the improved culture and
increased labors of the tiller of the soil. In
stead of holding single and annual meetings,
as prevails with us, an attendance upon
which would cost some of our farmers the
product of an acre of land, the Boards above
mentioned have adopted the plan of circu-
lating the truths, advantages and improve
ments of modern agriculture among the farm
ers themselves, and at points within easy
reach of their homes. Cannot our State
Board follow so worthy an example, convinc-
ing the farmers of its desire for usefulness
and progress ?-American Cultipdtor.

POETRY.

Then came old February, sitting
In an old wagon, for he could not ride
Drawn Of two fishes for the season fitting.
Which through the food before did SOFTLY slide
And swim away; yet had he by his side
His plough and harness fit to till the ground
And tools to prune the trees, before the pride
or nasting prime did make them bourgeon wide,

The Dutch government have set aside the
sum of $1,000, as contribution to the ex-
penses OF the dairy show to be held this year
in Gelders. This step has given rise to
good deal of adverse criticism. both in and
out of the chambers, it being generally held
that such exhibitions should be made to pay
their own expenses, and that the practice of
bolstering them up with state appropriations
tends to suppress healthy initiative action on
the part of those interested in their success.

The Eureka Con. Reduction Works.

There il an impression abroad that
the increased capacity Of the Eureka
Con. Reduction Works, incidental to
the. building Of another smelling fur.
mace would result in larger dividends.
We are assured by the best Of authority
that such will be the case. The fact Is.
NJ already mentioned in our columns.
that the furnaces have been crowded TO
their full capacity ever since last August.
aud Notwithstanding the vast
Of the mine. the bullion output has
been limited to tho product Of four
smelters. Their output has averaged
something over $500, 900 per month.
out OF which the cost OF developing the
mine, bullion tax, fuel and timber sup
plies, labor account. aud q hundred
other incidental expenses have been
paid. beside declaring a regular monthly
dividend Of Si50.OOO. Fortunately
there has been no breakdown or acct
dents. owing to the able management Of
Superintendent Donnelly. who. by his

the company's affairs at this point has

spatch 1t is remedy which never fails
TO relieve cutaneous disease, and, as a

cost is too heavy to be incurred by many
persons who would otherwise take advan-

answers the same purpose, and is both
inexpensive and convenient. No one

a good Record.

In the Medical Record published in
New York we find the following, which we
copy Tor the encouragement of our young
people who are contemplating starting in
life for themselves. The following is the
remarkable statement:
N. Hermann, in his "Travaux Statisti-
ques de 10 Russie," records, apropos of
the fore going, the case of a peasant at
Moscow, one Fedor Vassilet, who had had,
by two wives, 81 children. His first wife
was confined q times, in l6 of which she
bore twins; in 7. triplets; 10 4, bankruptcies.
