A French journal recommends a fire
Test for determining the quality Of
seeds. Samples are placed, one at a
time, upon live Goals. If the combns-
ton Is slow and quiet, it may be safely
decided that the seed contained dis
eased germ; but if the seed turns and
leaps about, producinga dry sound, IT
may be inferred to have good germlna-
tive qualities.

Local correspondence.

In reply 10 numerous inquiries with re
gard to the difference between "Aldcrneys'
and "Jerscys,' MI. G. II. Dy&eman, o
Shippensburg, Pa. submits the following
information.- ED.
SH1prENsBURG, Pa, Aug, 9, 1882
Dcar Sir; In reply to yours asking
the difference between Attorneys and
Jerseys, can say that my experience
with the subject leads me to think
that it is generally placed about this
way. All cattle registered in the
Herd book of the American Jersey
Cattle Club, are usually spoken Of as
Jerseys. Those not 80 registered but
descendants Of ancestors that have
besn imported from the Island of
Jersey, whether direct, or as is mostly
the case, through England are often
called Attorney. In the early i'm.
portations there does not appear to
have been much care taken to keep
those coming from the Island Of Jersey
separate from those coming from the
nelghboring Island Of Guernsey. They
were from both Islands imported into
England by vessels touching at the
very small sister Island, Attorney,
thus they got the name "Alderney
from the last port or the port which
the vessel hailed from. The Guern-
sey cattle ara larger race than the
Jerseys, 80 this early mixture | sup
pose made an increase in size; 90 it
WAS that many Of the so called Alder
neys were OF size above the average
of our Jerseys. In our immediate
neighborhood all cattle that have a
fair portion of Jersey blood mixed in
them with any thing else are called
Attorneys.

fantry. Winchester, Capt. Williams
A large concourse of people were assembled
at an early hour awaiting the event. Maj. ]. n
Whittlesey Gen. F. II. Smith and Col. Herbert,
of Maryland, we're the judges. At l o'clock
the Regiment was formed and marched to the
Fair Grounds. presenting very handsome ap-
pearance. and eliciting compliments and
cheers from the people. The drill resulted In
awarding the first prize to the Harrisonburg
Guards; Second, to the Winchester Company;
Third. to the Warren Light Infantry. Upon
the return of the Harl isonburg Guards, they
were met at the depot by large delegation of
citizens. Bon-fres and music enivened the

The term "Fair" may not always be the most
appropriate one for the autumn shows. Exht-
bition Is a better word. but far less frequently
used. Not only should, the farmer 60 to the
Fair, but he ought to take his family with him.
The going, simply is not enough. All mem
beers of the household should make it point to
take something to exhibit. One of the boys
may take fine colt. and If it is his own, there
will be all the more pride in obtaining prize.
Another son may have yoke of steers that he
has trained for the exhibition. AS for the girls,
there are a Thousand different things that can
be made with the needle that will grace the
walls of the "Woman's Pavilion or the rooms
of the usehold Department.. Even so COM
mon a thing as bread may be baked with special
care and will attract much attention. Then
there are the garden vegetables, potatoes-a
new kind, perhaps-rumpkins, squashes. ETC.,
and the products OF the farm and orchard. 1t
is not wise to leave all these things at home,
and then criticise the Exhibition because you
can say, 1--WE have better things at home" To
go and take things to the Fair is not enough
The Exhibition should become school at
which all exhibitors and visitors make study
of the Implements, cattle. poultry, fruit, grain
ETC., that are there. A farmer may owe his sue
cess in growing some crop to the knowledge
gained at town Fair. The farmer that has
real pride in the farm will take great interest
in the local Fair. and will exhibit the products
Of farm life in the boys and girls. who are inter-
ested exhibitors at the Fairs. The day at the
Fair should be a social one. every one making
it a point to meet many neighbors and others
with pleasant word. It is place for asking
and answering questions, and the person who
goes through the Exhibition without opening
his mouth. is certainly not getting all the good
that is within his reach. 1t is our advice that
all go to the Fair-all take something to show.
and all find out as much as possible about all
the various exhibits that are made by others
In this way the day at the Fair will be most
profitable one. 1t may be that premium will
not be taken by every one, but the prize money
is only a small part OF the value that an exhlb
itor may receive from Fair, that has been
used as a means for better understanding OF
the products of the farm, garden and house
hold.

Professor Rogers made an appeal to the legtsta-

that time geology was PRACTICALLY unknown in
this country, and Professor Rogers entered up

He made many sectional surveys across the
State, and in SO doing not only disclosed Its
resources of mineral wealth, but announced
geology of the eastern section of the continent
