load Of manure is not quite so indefinite

vary more than half in quantity and still
more in quality. When a writer in detailing
the result Of an experiment, gives the num-
Der Of loads of manure applied, we never
know within one-half how large quantity is
used, unless the size of the load and the quail
ity of the manure is described. The proper
way of measuring it is by the cord SO meas
ured, with its condition and quality described,
we should get some definite idea of the
amount of fertlizing material. Experiments
have been tried to test the effect of special
fertilizers as compared with manure, and the
results which have been published are, in
many cases, nearly vaueess because the
quantity Of manure is only described as so
many loads

No state maintains a more enlightened and
liberal policy in the promotion of its agricul-
tural interests than Kansas. The appropria-
tons for the quarterly agricultural reports
and their grHtuitous distribution will doubt
less be repaid the state in its consequent
increased growth and prosperity. The quar-
terly report closing the past year contains
good county and township map of Kansas,
and the amount and value of farm products
in each county in 1874 and 1881, together
with great variety of other statistics giving
complete view of the condition of agricul-
ture in that state. The report contains also,
besides exhaustive articles on the corn crop
by one hundred and twenty-five correspon-
dents in different parts of the state, a table
of prices at which all kinds of merchandise
are sold. of wages received in the several
branches of industry, summary report of
the weather and rainfall for the year, and
other articles giving very full information
concerning the agricultural capacities of the
state. Copies of the report will be forward-

the receipt of seven cents in stamps for pos

The journal of the American Agricultural
Association gets some pretty severe criticism
FOR its active opposition to any legislative ac-
ton restricting railroad charges The New
England Homestead says:
THE American agricultural association met
at New York this week, and appointed stand
ing committees for the year They voted to
hold national exposition in New York, and
appointed a committee to see about it and re-
port at a meeting 70 be held in April This
is the association that has sold out to the rail-
roads. 1t is also managed in the interests of
the salt men and corporations generally. I'm
der Secretary Reall's editorship, its quarterly
journal has become a sort of railroad cam
paign document. The association is largely
composed of a clique of New York business
men, who know little about agriculture and
yet pretend to exercise a fatherly care over
the agricultural interests of the whole coun-
try. 1t is a concern that the practical farmer
will steer clear of. There is good deal of
sham about its pretenses Its national ex-
position is likely to be big fizzle"

Oregon Wagon Road Land
Grant,

Washington, Ex-senator Cock
rlIl reported, to-day, from the mill
tary affairs committee, on a mes
sage from the secretary of the
interior. covering the information
respecting lands granted to the
state of Oregon for the Willamette
Valley and Cascade Mountain
wagon road. Congress, in 1865,
granted lands to the state for the
purpose above stated. In 1874 the
lands were patented to the state by
act Of Congress, and the legislature
of Oregon confirmed to the wagon
road company the lands, and at
various times certificates were
issued by the Governor TO the
company as portions of the
road were completed. The
company subsequently assigned it's
ownership of the lands to II. r. w.
Clark, who conveyed the same, by
deed to S. EgestOn Hogg, and he
conveyed the property to Alexander
WE'LL. Up to June 1876, 100000
acres were patented to the company
and 437,997 acres in 1879 remained
selected and uppatented. The int
riOr department raised the question
as to the validity of the acts of the
authorities Of Oregon and the COM
pany, and for some time the question
has been pending before Congress.
Reports were made in the last
Congress, and at the present
session, endorsing the regularity of
the proceedings, in connection with
the disposition of the land. The
Senate committee reports that the
executive department of govern
ment has ample power to lnVesti-
gate whether the laws of Congress
and Oregon have been complied
with or not, and, if deemed neces-
sary, to institute legal proceedings
to secure a forfeiture of the grant
for noncompliance with the terms
and conditions, or for fraud and eva
sions on part of the constructing
company. The committee refuses
to order an investigation and re-
mands the whole SUBJECT to the ex-
ecutive department.

cular in relation to the enforcement

graved IN manner that will pre-
vent cOunterfeiting. The circular
directs the attention of collectors of
customs to the act of May 9Th,
which is enclosed, to prevent any
just cause of complaint as regards
the administration of the law. Col
lectors and all other officers will
take pains to carefully carry out the
provisions of the act so
far as it devolves duties upon them.
The certificate must conform
in all particulars to the list entered
in the registry books, kept in accord
ance with the requirements Of the

at them by government as they do
from newspapers and magazines.

The postmaster general recites
other considerations, which lead
him to the conclusion that "Con-
gress may at the present time,
safely abr0gate all discrimination
between subscribers to newspapers
and magazines, and send the same
through the mails without charge,
whether such subscribers are
within the county Of publication or

The DOyIe BOND sIystery.

Chicago, 23.-The fact has been
developed, according to the state
ment to be published here to-
morrow, that some of the bonds
taken from Doyle when arrested
here, have found their way into
circulation again here, at Peoria,
and perhaps elsewhere. Five Of
them are known TO have been sold
here; two were sold by a govern
ment employee to Nick Hogan, q
saloon keeper ;One was hypOthecated
at gambling house. and two more
in one of the bucket shops. This
was a couple Of months after DOyle's
arrest. 1t is stated these facts came
to the knowledge OF government
officials here, who communicated
the fact to the department
at Washington, and received in
structiOnS 10 let matters alone as
the department was working the
case. Timeipassed and nothing was
done. In the meantime the wind
of the matter got out; the bonds
were taken from here and sold in
New York to Billy Tracy. 1t is
said these facts are known to several
officials and one or two congressman.
The Times, tomorrow, will pub
liSh long article, reviewing the
career of Sam. Falker, who has come
forward so prominently in connec-
ton with the Doyle case, and who
turned over to the secretary of the
treasury the duplicate OF the gov.
eminent bond plate. 1t says: He
has been prominently before the
country in the guise Of a detective
for more than twenty years. In
one way or another during this
period he has been identified with
nearly every mportant criminal case
that has received the attention
of the authorities from Maine to
California, and from Texas to Min
nesota. He never failed to claim
that he could turn Up the right man.
In hundreds of cases he has bled all
parties interested to the extent Of
thousands OF dollars, and yet, so far
as can be ascertained, never sent
but one or two men to the peniten-
tiary, and these only because it was
his private interest to do SO. The
report further gives the opinion of
him held by Colonel Whitley, for
merly Of the secret service, as pub
Ilshed IN his book on noted crimi-
mails.
