ITEMS OF INTEREST.

The receipts of potatoes at Boston
during last week amounted to 48, 920
bushels
A field of oats was threshed near
Worthing, Mimi, that went 101 bush
els to the acre.
The potato crop in Switzerland is
total failure. The demand for
American potatoes is expected to be
brisk.
1t is said that Australia has more
meat-producing animals, in proper
ton to its population, than any other
country on the globe.
A New York potato grower has so
acres under cultivation, which he es-
Inmates will yield 800 bushels per
acre. If he gets but half that his
farming will be profitable.
American buyers are picking up
bull calves of the polled breeds in
Scotland about as fast as they can be
secured. This country is acquiring a
choice lot of young breeding stock of
| this kind.
A great dairy exhibition will be
held in Milwaukee in December, from
the 4th to the 9th inclusive. There
will be fourteen classifcations in but
ter, the sweepstakes premium in class
A being $3.50.
Advices from the Illinois river val
ley and other sections of the great
corn belt of Central Illinois report
serious damage from frost to corn,
especially in lowland regions. The
damage is estimated at 10 per cent.
Notwithstanding the immense
crops of wheat for the current year,
an unusually large amount of winter
wheat is being put in the ground this
| fall, and the indications are that the
acreage for next years crop will be
decidedly increased.
Australia comes to the front with
big steer. The figures are said to
be: Height, Z feet inches II feet
9 inches; girth, 10 feet 3 inches.
He measures feet 4 inches from the
withers to the brisket, and turns the
scale at 5000 pounds.
1t is one thing to raise a goodly
number of promising pullets and car
ry them successfully through the
summer and fall. but if we neglect
them now and do not provide good
house-quarters, grain, animal, and
vegetable food for their use in winter,
the summer labor will much of it be
thrown away.
From present indications, early
pigs will be about as profitable stock
as the farmer can have next spring.
Every breeding SOW should be kept
over. Those who have a stall tc
spare in the horse stable, or some
} other warm and suitable place, may
make arrangements to have them far
row in February to good advantage.
. Nineteen out of every twenty farm
$ ers in the country are now, or sooI
will be, fattening stock of some kline
for the "fall killing" 1t should b.
t remembered that the very best re
suits, both as to economy, and as t.
quality of meat, are only to be oh
tanned by making the process a
e quick as possible. 1t is all import
> ant in this matter to "push things. -
At Boston the apple trade is in
r. peculiar position. Inferior stock
plenty and sells from S1.00 to $50
o. per barrel; but fancy stock is scare
is and such commands $500 to $50
per barrel. The export trade is il
Or creasing. During the last week i
10 September about 5000 barrels wer

it 16,400 barrels.

TOP DRESSING IN AUTUMN

The recommendation we see in
many quarters to top dress grass
lands in autumn we cannot wholly
indorse. While we have no doubt
about the efficacy of this suggestion,
in a general sense, and have advo-
Gated it, we think, under certain con-
ditions, some grass lands would be
more benefited if the application were
made early in the spring. In the
fields where the ground has tenden-
cy to heave, throwing up the grass
and exposing the roots to the direct
action of the frost, autumn top dress
ing, which will protect the ground, is
much to be preferred, and the appli-
cation can be made either with the
aftermath, straw or manure, as the
condition of the soil may seem to re-
quire. But if the ground is not liza
BILE to heave, a coat of manure as
early in the spring as it can be APP
piled, not lumpy, and spread uniform
ly, will secure a heavier crop of
grass. There need be no fear of the
manure interfering with the moving
Of the crop or the making of the hay,
| inasmuch IS we have found that the
top dressing is soon beaten down by
the rains and is quite out of reach of
the operations of harvesting by the
time that period arrives. We are
not merely satisfied of the correctness
of this view from our own experience
but from that of numerous farmers
whose opinions on any subject of
practical farming can at all times be
relied upon Germantown Telegraph.
Farmers hold different opinions
about the propriety of placing salt
within reach of cattle at all times,
but so many of our best class of
farmers have practiced and approved
of this plan, that it must be considered
safe. Cattle must gradually become
used to it, by having a little given
them every day, for month or so.
and then placing it in little box at
tached to the manager in the stable
, where they can reach it at any time
| OF in trough in the pasture. If the
animal has it always within reach i
will eat no more than is good for it
> The gastric juice is supposed to ge
its chlorine from common salt, an(
' it therefore plays an important par
: in digestion.
" A North Carolina man has invent
ed folding barrel or hogshead TO

E. slaves rolled together, and tn

Cathartic Pills

Combine the choicest cathartic principles
in medicine, in proportions accurately adj
iusted to secure activity, certainty, ana
uniformity of effect. They are the result
of years of careful study and practical ex-
pertinent, and are the most effectual rem
edv vet discovered for diseases caused by
arrangement of the stomach, liver, and
bowels which require prompt and effectual
treatment. AYERS PILLS are specially
applicable to this class of diseases. They
act directly on the digestive and assiml-
lative processes, and restore regular
healthy action. Their extensive use by
physicians in their practice, and by all
civilized nations, is one OF the many
proofs of their value as safe, sure, ana
perfectly reliable purgative medicine;
Being compounded of the concentrated
virtues of purely vegetable substances,
they are positively free from calomel or
any injurious properties, and can be admin
istered to children with perfect safety.
AYERS PILLS are an effectual cure for
Consultation or COStiveness, IndIgeS-
ton, Dyspepsia, Loss of Appetite,
Foul Stomach and Breath, Dizziness,
Headache, Loss of Memory, Numbness,
Biliousness, Jaundice, Rheumatism,
Eruptions and Skin Diseases, Dropsy,
Tumors, Worms, Neuralgia, Collie,
Gripes, Diarrh@a, DySentery, Govt,
Piles, Disorders of the Liver, and all
other diseases resulting from a disordered
state of the digestive apparatus.
AS Dinner Pill they have no equal.
While gentle in their action, these PILLS
are the most thorough and searching cathar-
tic that can be employed, and never give
pain unless the bowels are inflamed, and
then their influence is healing. They stimu-
late the appetite and digestive organs; they
| operate to purify and enrich the blood, and
| impart renewed health and vigor to the
whole system.

Vaccinati0n-SmaIl P0X.

Our people seem to he doing very
little to protect themselves from the
approach of this disease. We may es-
cape entirely, but the chances are that
we may have it in this community.
AS to vaccination we would say that
we see it stated in the papers as com
ing from one who prepares them that
the ivory lancets are good for only a
few days. The Xxx are warranted for
only five days, and the XXX for only
two weeks after purchase. Persons
who buy these points should use them
ut once. and patients who pay should
know that they are properly vacci-
mated. In one Of our exchanges we
see it stated that more than q hundred
were vaccinated, without a single salts
factory result. So. after all, you see it
is not 50 easy to get a proper VAGINA
ton.

except one large building at the Poor

ing several inhabited rooms, has only
one Fireplace. If practicable, we rec
ommend the erection Of an additional
chimney to said building. We would
also recommend that the superintend-
ent, or some responsible agent Of his
be required to live on the premises.
The total number of inmates is now
twenty-five.
Owing to the absence Of the School
Commissioner, we have made no in
vestigation rs to the management of
his office, but we have examined that
of all the others of the County as well
MS our limited time and experience
permitted and we believe them prop
erly kept. The statements of the
Treasurer and Judge of Probate is
hereto appended.
AS only q few of the Trial Justices
are in attendance we have made no
examination Of their books, but pro-
pose to do so during the June term
and now express u desire that they
all he present with their books on the
first day of said term, and their atten-
ton is called to the law which requires
them to have their bills filed with the
Clerk of the Court ten days previous
to each term.
From information received, we be-
lieve it to be our duty to, and hereby
do, present Thomas Young, of or near
Lowndesville, for selling spirituons Ii
