and the commercial values of the fer

No sample of commercial fertilizer
will be analyzed at the station with
out the previously obtained consent OF
the Commissioners Of Agriculture.
II-CHEMICAIS.
ANY farmer in North Carolina pur-
chasing chemicals for composing and
home use can have them analysed
free of charge at the Station. The
sender must, however prepay the ex-
press charges to Chapel Hill. Through
the kindness of the President of the
Southern Express Co. packages may
soon be prepaid from any office IN the
State to Chapel Hill. although there is
no Express office at the place. The
samples of chemicals must be selected
according TO written instructions which
will be furnished on application.
uI.-sEEDS.
Having secured the necessary appa-
ratus for testing the quality and ger
mlnating power of seeds of all kinds,
we are prepared to make such tests for
any n in the State who will send a
proper sample by mail. The sample
must fairly represent the lot from
which 1T was taken and be not less
than two (2) ounces in weight for
small grain, corn, etc, or over 100
seeds in number for garden seeds, &c.
Iy.-soILS, MARLs, MINERAL WATERS,
&C., &c.
Analyses of this class will only be
made when the sender receives the
permission of the State Geologist, as
by the ruling of the Board Of Agricul-
ture they are placed under the depart
ment of that officer.
Analyses Of Sugar Beets, and other
agricultural products will be made as
the Board of Agriculture may direct.
Other Investigations of interest and
value to the farmer will be taken up
ron time to time, as the work of the
Station will permit.
Insects injurious to vegetation,
when sent to the Station will be named,
their habits, when known, and the
best means of discriminating them
given free of charge.

Agricultural Progress.

The summer IS over, and the harvest,
if not ended, Is at least pear compile
ion The early and the later crops
have ripened III their course, the gol-
den fruitage of the finished year is
ready to be garnered, the yellow
pumpkins have gathered rotund sweet
ness in the fields and barns, and grana-
ries are grooming with their weight of
boarded wealth. 1t is the season of
agricultural fairs. Nothing more elo-
quently illustrates the growth and
progress of the United States than the
agricultural fairs which are now being
held throughout its borders. This in
dicates a growth and activity in agri-
cultural matters which are simply
marvellous. We are largely an agri-
cultural people, and our growth as a
nation may be fairly Judged by the
growth of the agricultural interest.
Taking this as a standard we have
every eason to feel proud of the past
and encouraged for the future. We
have said that the American people are
largely an agricultural people. 1t isto
be hoped they may continue SO. Agrl-
culture is the basis of national wealth.
AS a body the farming population of
the United Stat9s constitute nearly 30
per cent. OIL TIE entire pOpuldlIOI. Inc
progress Of agriculture has kept even
pace with, if, indeed, it has not sup
piled the main spring of u national
progress. Within the memory of men
now living there was not an agricultu-
raj paper published In the United
States: Such a thing as an agri-
cultural fair was unknown. Agri-
cultural colleges Were not even
dreamed of. Agricultural nipple
ments had not begun to be invented.
The whole system was crude, labori-
ous, and comparatively Improbable.
Now there are many excellent papers
published devoted exclusively to agri-
culture. Many of the States have ag-
ricultural colleges. Our agricultural
implements have become n of the
wonders of the world, and a%gricultu-
raj fairs a prominent feature of Amer
lean civilization. These are unmistak-
able signs Of material progress. The
hundreds Of county fairs which will
be held in this and other States during
this month will draw together hun
dreds of thousands of intelligent far
mers, proud of their vocation and in
terested in all hat concerns it.-lndt-

Precious Stones Of Our State.

1t may not be generally known that
the diamond, sapphire, amethyst, gar
net. and many beautiful specimens of
chalcedony are natives of this State.
Such, however, is the fact, and the
old primitive granite formations is
the place where they may be found.
By referring to the american Journdt
of Science, Vol. III, p. 253, it will be
seen that Prof. Sheppard has discover
ed the diamond in North Carolina. 9th
ers have also been discovered besides
the one here referred to-. There is in
the possession of a gentleman in Ca
barrus a piece Of sapphire cut from a
piece, the commercial value Of which
was $4,000, and pronounced by a pro-
nounced by a professional lapedist in
Philadelphia to be equal to anything
he ever saw from the Orient. Cabar-
rus county is specially rich in agates,
the chaIcedony taking on the forms Of
minute exquisitely fine linesof all col.
Ors. The best specimens presenting in
the rough, the botroidal form, or re
sembling rich candied fruits.

A New Railroad Pass.

A new style of railroad pass has just
been patented by railroad man which
is something of a novelty. The idea is
to provide pass which can be used BY
none save the person to whom it is is
sued, and the pass seems to meet the
requirement. Around the pass proper
is margin, with a description which,
by the use of punch, may be made to
ft anybody. After the word "age"
appear series of figures out of which
the person issuing the pass punches the
figures corresponding with the age of
the one to whom the pass is issued.
Then after the head shape" follow
the words "slim." medium"
q stout" "corpulent." After "color
of hair" come the designations .black,"
/" brown" gray" "light," "au-
burn" After " color of eyes" come
"black," "brown," gray " blue"
:" hazel" and after "beard'' the terms
none," "full.'' side," chin"
"mustache.' Thus, supposing the
man to whom the pass is issued be
dark, slim man, with black eyes and
beard la Napoleon, the issuer OF the
pass would punch the word slim"
under ..shape.'' "black' under
"eyes'' and 'hair," mustache and
"chin'' under beard" The pass
could then be transferred only to man
CHANGING to answer just the above de-
scription. The idea is certainly nov
ell one. Indianapolis Sentinel.

Honest Labor.

The artificial nature of much of our
society is often discussed, and to its
feverish unrest is partly ascribed the
absence of those simple habits and
plain ways of living which were a dis
tinguishlng feature of past genera
tions. When we see men and women
hurrying to and fro, trying to crowd in
a day what it would have taken their
fathers and mothers q week to accom-
plish, implicitly obeying the dictates of
fashion, no matter how they suffer,
simply because they consider them
selves bound by its unwritten law, and
breathing an atmosphere which is un-
real and unhealthy, we are apt to NOR
alize over the change. But what makes
the question one Of greater moment
is that this weakness is not confined
alone to adults, but that its influence
is rapidly spreading amongst the
young, taking away from childhood
that free and unrestrained grace OF
movement, freshness of feeling and
simplicity of manner with which poets
and idealists have ALWAYS associated it,
and making it confined, stilted and un-
natural. It is necessary sequence
that the young should take the ex-
ample Of their elders as . guide. They
are initiative from their earliest years;
if they have been brought up in
rich households they have wit
messed nothing but continual
round Of pleasure. Their every
whim has been gratified and their tastes
consulted, and the thought has never
entered their minds that there might
come s time when they would have ia
depend upon their own exertions, and
when all tho fanciful accomplishments
which they are possessed Of would
stand them in little stead. Various
opinions are indulged in - to whether
