New Departure at Oneida.

The notorious Oneida community at Oneida, N. r., has taken a noteworthy new departure within few days. Their system has been one of communism, pure and simple, extend- ing even to community with women: iu accor- dance wlth system which they cal complex marriage. Several efforts have been made by Chris an people and by the State govern ment to bresk up and put an end to the 'm- moral practice, but without avail. But DOW
 he leader of the society, J. H. Moves has is- sued circular advising the discontinuapce of complex marriage, OF the ground that iS sti"s up such intense prejudice against the commu- nity tbat its efforts to carry out other legiti- mate purposes are hindered. The community have agreed to the proposition, and the onei- da complex marriage becomes thing of the past. The members of the community will continue to hold their property in common and to eat at the common table.

branches of trade. It has been said tn. t Honesty is the best policy" say honesty is the best principle. Some lands require great labor and skill to fertilize them and bring them up to produce crops. A man once asked the opinion of another in reference to a piece of land he thought of purchasing. We'll, he answered "A man came here to buy that land for burial ground, but upon examina- tion he said the ground was SO poor that those who were buried in it would have no res, urrecton." Some farmers do not keep up with the times; they want everything handy :: the pig pen by the kitchen door, the slops thrown out into pool near by, and the old well-sweep that required all a woman's strength to lift, etc. The ''Old oaken bucket is very fine in poetry, but heavy in prose A man should advance with the times.

All vegetation needed ammonia, potash and the phosphates, though in different degree, and the amount must be understood. Crops were not infu- enced by any simple element. T advise all farmers to have a compost heap, to put upon it carcasses and all refuse matter to be utilized and scattered upon the ground at the proper time. To restore lands use muck, which is a great absorbent, and 80 per cent. water, for a basis; if too light, add alluvial soil from the river shores Alluvial soil makes a good basis, as it contains more or less organic sub stance, to which other fertilizers can be add ed. have made every rock to bear it's pro- portion upon my farm.

 Professor Frost spoke in an interesting manner upon several subjects, pertaining to agriculture but particularly upon fruit. He said he did not know why we could not com- pete with any part of the country in raising fruit The peach belt commenced at the Chesapeake and the lakes regulated the apple belt He said that by skill and labor the most barren lands could be made fertile. Men should be educated ID agriculture, and boys could study "Bugooloqy" in the fields. Fruit, vegetables, grains and tobacco had their brands, and could be made superior by knowledge and skill.

Foes of Village Improvement.

The charming modern fashion of village improvement has to struggle against many obstacles created by the sordid and obtuse nature of man. Conspicuous among these is the paint brush aend, who skulks about and plasters over fences and watering. tubs, rocks and horse-sheds with hideous advertisements, contrary to the statute provided against such nuisances. Here is a glaring red sign nailed upon fence rail or tree, and next daub of yellow, brown or black, till the fence which skirts some neat sidewalk looks like the back door of painters shop. He is an inventive scamp too, and has lately devised new va riety of outrage; leaving the old fences and t'e rocks untouched, he plants 8 sign-post, with glaring sign-board directing the pass er-by to Grip & SGueeze's store, or some other fellows. Any abutter has clear right, we suppose, 70 clear the highway of these imper- tinences.
 There is the road-patcher, throwing the turf of the village green and scooping it out to fill the ruts, destroying all hope of trim roadside edges or shapely grades-and mak- ing very bad road when all's done. Road making, which ought to be both science anG an art, exhibiting skill and beauty, and showing some respect for the fitness of adja- cent things, is barbarous and wasteful patchwork. This is owing not more to the unskilled labor employed than to the custom ary niggardlness to highway appropriations. al a. Io mands generous and judicious outlay, and no public benefit pays back better interest on tax Investments
 Next comes the private neglect which al- lows weeds, bushes, wild and scraggy trees and unmown grass to disfgure the highway There is general and repulsive slovenliness which does credit to the abbutters and cheap ems their real estate. Then the eye is dis tressed by crooked, ricketty and in large part entirely useless fences The best thing for a village where there really exists in it's full sense a community, where the neighbors all know each other and respect each others rights, is to do away with fences altogether; as any one will say who has seen the exper- lment tried, as ln W'lilamstown, or our neigh boring Longmeadow, or in parts of one or two streets in this city; the park like aspect is very attractive. Besides that, the econo- my of it is an important consideration. The possible damage from stray animals of any sort is not much besides the extravagant cost of fences
 And finally come the telegraph companles, most insolent of all, driving their disfguring lines of poles and wires straight through the pleasant streets, in disregard of the beauty of the place or the preference of the people. There are likely to be more and more inva- sions of tbis sort attempted, now that the tel ephone is multiplying it's service so ezten- sively; and it behooves village improvement associations to look to their rights, if they have any, and send the companies around the back way.-Spafngfeld Republican.

The Salisbury Iron Works.

The revival in the iron trade has brought into notice the Salisbury iron region of Con- necticut. In Salisbury are found the Ore Hill, Davis and Chatield mines, from which the Salisbury charcoal pig-iron is made. The first blast furnace in the region was built in 1762, by Ethan Allen, of Ticonderoga fame, in what is now known as the village of Lake vile. In 1768 it was sold to Richard Smith and by him successfully run till the breaking out of the Revolution. Mir. Smith being royalist left the country and the works were taken possession of by the State and it pro- shells for the Provincial Government. The severe tests applied to these guns established a character for the Salisbury iron which has not yet been surpassed by any iron made elsewhere in the country. In the war of 1912 and 1915 the Salisbury cannon was still in use. The old furnaces were continued in use till 1910, when others were erected, and they have from time to time given place to others till the perfected works now owned and managed by the Barnum Richardson Company took their places. At present there are eight furnaces making exclusively Salisbury ron-three at Canaan, one at Lime Rock, one at Huntsv lie, one at Sharon Val ley, one at Cornwall Bridge and one at Mil lerton. In 1840 the railroad interest then being in it's infancy, was begun in Lime Rock the manufacture of chilled car wheels and other railroad work, the great strength and superior chilling qualities of the Salisbury iron making it peculiarly fitted for that kind of service. With the increase of railroads came the increased demand for wheels, when 6 small foundry was erected in Jersey City under the name of Washburn, Hunts 6 Co.'S. Car Wheel Works The small building soon became too small for the increasing business, and in 1864 the company purchased half block and erected the extensive works now occupied by them. For proof of the pecu- liar adaptibility of the Salisbury iron for the manufacture of car wheels, they show records of an average service of 42 months for the wheels taken out on one of the roads sup piled by them. A few years later the Bar mum Richardson Co. started foundry in Chicago for the manufacture of car-wheels and other railroad castings, which is now in successful operation. Other foundries in which they have large interest are also SUD- piled with iron from Salisbury furnaces, be- sides quantities being sent to railroads who do their own manufacturing, steel works and iron works of all descriptions. The eight furnaces are now making an average of loo tons of iron day. One of them has made over 64, 900 tons, quantity not exceeded by any other furnace in the country. This com pany have furnished the hearths for some of the largest furnaces in the country from their quarries in Sharon, and have extensive kilns in Manchester, Windhall, Peru, Mount Takor and Danby, Vt. At both the Centennial Ex- hibition and the International Exposition at Paris gold medals were awarded for the dis. Plsy of saliabury ore and iron ear wheels-I NN@~;
