FIRE BLIGIIT.-The Germantown Tcle-
0raph saws: L" As we drive around our old
Philadelphia suburb and note the magniti-
cent old pear trees in dung-yards and hog
pens, in some cases fattening on the refuse
of slaughter houses, and always in perfect
health, we can but wonder what rark
manure has to do with any theory of
blight" The Country GentIem1n, COM
menting on this statement. says: As a
general rule, the wider and more long CON
tinued are observations on this malady,
the less the observer thinks he knows
about it. The absence OF blight in the
highly cultivated and MANFRED trees at
Philadelphia, has been frequently OBJ
served. We suppose, however, they will
have to take their turn at it in some
uture year. We remember well when
experienced pear growers at Boston had
never seen the disease, but they have since
had enough. 1t is well TO give such facts
as will break up hastily formed theories
nevertheless, it is tolerably well established
that the following four sorts are on the
whole much less liable to the disease than
most oibers-Seckel, Winter Nellis, Ouch
esse d Angouleme and Anjou.
A factory for the manufacture of agri-
cultural implements was burned Sunday
at Liberty. Indiana. by the communists
who have been posting warning notices
ON the harms and fences of the farmers in
that section, denonncing the use of agri
cultural machinery by farmers. This
warfare against the use of improved tools
by farmers strikes a blow directly Mt the
pockets of farmers The destruction of q
very few factories of agricultural nipple
ments will raise the price of all agricul
tural machinery. The result will be thai
it will cost more to run farm; the crop,
will be less. and a serious blow will be
struck at the prosperity of farmers. Il
will not escape notice that these outrages
occur first and most in those states where
the farmers have voted to encourage the
communists warfare on capital and
manufactures, and have led the mos

SUGGESTIONS.

/. Insist that your milking be done in
clearly manner. Too much pains can.
not be taken in this particular. Careless.
ness here will entail a great loss on the
manufacturer and insult the consumer.
2. Bed your COWS with sawdust, il
possible; it will keep your COWS clean and
the stable sweet.
8. Do not, under any circumstances
leave your pals and strainer at the barn
over night. Please carry them to the
house, and insist that they be properly
wash d both morning and evening. Much
depends on this.
4. Use only tin pals for milking.
5. The tin strainer pals are the best
fr straining milk. Some dairymen use
strainer-pails, and a cloth stretched oycl
the can. thus straining the milk twice
We advise this double straining of milk
1t costs you but little trouble. while it will
grately add to the value of the butter anc
cheese made from your milk.
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1878-08-28
RULES.

l. Never under any circumstances put
a pail of milk into your can without strain
ing. One pail of unstrained milk may
spoil whole can, and one can of impure
milk will certainly injure all milk or cream
with which it comes in contact. In the
name of decency We neg every patron to
be particular about milking and properly
straining his milk.
2. Cans containing milk should never
be kept in milking barn during the night.
The scent of the stable however well
kept will injure the milk and spoil the
nice flavor fresh butter should have. An
open shed little distance from your barn,
your woodshed, or you kitchen, is the
only proper place for keeping milk over
night.

We clip the following from the New York
Tribune:
NATIONAL BANK CIRCULATION.
To the Editor OF The Tribune.
SIR: Is the circulation of notes OF National
banks limited to certain amount ? Or could
the holders of United States bonds organize
themselves into National banks and thus have
National currency to within one-tenth the
amount OF the bonds? The last / believe TO
be the general understanding, and that the
reason that the National bank circulation is not
much greater than 1t Is, is because OF the belief
OF bondholders that 1t won't pay. see, how
ever, in websters Pocket Dictionary (page 16.
published 1870, that the circulation OF the
notes of the National banks is limited by law to
S3O0.000000 l hardly like to say it, but it
really appears to me that for once, Webster is
wrong" Please answer, for know others be-
sides myself will be interested in correct I'M
derstanding OF this matter. Yours truly,
M.N.a.
SAavERsvILLE, BUTLER Co., Penn, Dec. 4, '7S.
Until 1870, the bank circulation was limited
to S310000000 1t was then increased, reach
ing SS49,S 1872 by June 20, 1874. Under the
act OF that date 1t increased to 1881, SCI 450 on
January Ia 1875. On that date the : free
banking" clause OF the Resumption act re-
moved restrictions uson the tissue OF additional
circulation, as well as upon the surrender OF
circulation by banks. aud sirce that time Ma
tional banks In all parts OF the country have
been free to increase their circulation by de-
posting more bonds, or to surrender circula-
ton by deposting greenbacks tor its redemp-
ton. Any five persons, by organizing under
the National Banking Act, can obtain for issue,
circulation equal to 80 per cent. OF the value OF
bonds deposited. Under this act the circula
ton declined until August 1, 1877, when it was
1915 ,236,83s, exclusive OF S1.430.000 notes OF
gold banks. 1t then began to increase eloWly,
aud is now 1921 1872, 23e. Banks st the West
aud South generally find circulation uuproft-
able, and the margin of profit is found very
small even by banks of the Eastern States.-
