Masked Ball.

The masked ball given recently ut Mrs. J
Frank Reasin's, near Chenille, was perfect sue
cess. Those who were present say that no one
could have made an affair of the kind more
pleasant and agreeable than Mrs Rcasin and
her daughters did upon this occasion. Miss NJ
F. B. was appropriately dressed as an Indian
maiden. Her beauty carried one back to the
olden times, when dusky forest beauties roamed
over these dear old hills. Miss l.. H., dressed
as n ghost-that is if ghosts ever dress at all
was very pretty. Miss NJ. c., of Hartford was
beautifully dressed in a costume representing
one of the great industries of the county Mrs
H., who wore n comic mask, was the life of the
party. Miss NJ. C., of Baltimore, was hand
somely attired and was much admired. Many
more ladies were present, whose costumes can
not take the space to describe. Mr.. Ii. r., as
clown, was all life and fun. "Partners for an
other square waltz" Mr.. d. +. s. made very
good minstrel, but he was found standing in the
passage too often to make first class manager
Dancing was kept up until the wee sma' hours.

used some chemical fertilizers to advantage,
MIXED with bone. This season he had used seven
different kinds of fertilizers, and will note the
difference. Farmers, he said, feed the nation
and they should protect themselves from being
imposed on by worthless fertilizers.
Geo. Il. Silver, the President, agreed with the
others that commercial fertilizers pay. That fact
has been clearly demonstrated by the quantity
used yearly In Hartford county for the last ten
years. He has mostly used bone, but had come
to the conclusion that 1t is too long acting, and
we need something to give quicker returns. He
did not think bone could be used to advantage on
light gravelly soils, because of its slow action
On these some good chemical fertilizer should be
used. We are not able to tell what kind we need,
but must bring science to our aid. Fertilizers
chemist and farmers should then carefully exper-
lment and find out what their soil requires. He
believed that soluble phosphoric acid is what is
needed In our soils. Bone contains this in phos-
phate of lime but 1t is longer in acting than
phosphoric acid is, and crops suffer from the de-
lay.
Mr.. Cashier advocated the establishment of an
experimental farm and station, where farmers
could have fertilizers analysed and various kinds
OF grain tried. He said more fertilizers were used
Connecticut and yet the farmers of that State
are protected in buying fertilizers, by a State
chemist, who last year analysed liz different arti-
Giles for farmers. Better fertilizers are sold in
Georgia than in any other State, because a good
fertilizer law is in operation there.
A committee, consisting of Messrs. Hays,
Moores and Cashier was appointed to visit
Annapolis and endeavor to secure the passage of
fertilizer law similar to the one in operation in
Georgia. At the suggestion of Mr.. Moores the
same committee was authorized to urge the pas
sage of law to appoint an inspector of weights
and measures for Hartford county.
