There is one quality of the soil in which
ours equals any other, and greatly excels the
fertile soil of the West. No country has a
soil freer from malarious poison. If this is
not quality of the soil worth considering
we are greatly mistaken. To secure, as far
as possible, immunity from disease, in select
ing place of residence, is of quite as much
consequence as the chance of reising few
bushels more or less of corn or wheat. A
German scientist says that it is not question
ed now that malarial diseases originate from
the soil. For generations, the influence of
soil upon the healthfulness of localities was
entirely ignored, while all sanitary changes
were ascribed to local air and watsr yet the
soil is a fixture, whereas the water of a local
ity is affected by all the strata it has passed
through, and the air, so far from being sta
tionary, has an average velocity of ten feet
per second, and speed of twenty inches per
second even in dead calm. But water and
air are purified by this constant motion, wa
ter to a less degree than air, because its move
ment, whether through the ground or in open
water-courses, is more sluggish than that of
the air. But an impurity clirgs longest TO the
soil, which, unlike air and water, suffers no
change of place. Formerly we esteemed the
hygienic value of air first, water second, and
soil third; but recent researches and specu-
lations suggest that now we should reverse
the order
Without considering the superiority of our
soil in its freedom from malarial qualities,
il can be shown from statistics that the far.
mers of Vermont have greater average val.
ue of this worlds goods than the farmers of
most of the western states.

Congress is asked to take some action in re-
gard to the expectation of oleomargarine and
other imitation butter 1t appears from the
statistics that the amount of this compound
exported increased from l ,69S, 4Ol pounds in
1878, TO G,327, 676 pounds in 1881. The but
ter exported in the last year was only 81, 33l,-
1853 pounds, against more than 81, 900, 900
pounds in the year before, decrease of S.
100000 in value, The amount and value of
cheese exported have increased during the
same time, and the easy inference is that the
bogus butter has hurt the trade in the genuine
dairy product. If Europe preferred the man
ufaetured grease to real butter, because of its
cheapness, there might be some consolation
in thinking that we were well rid Of the stuff.
But the fact is said to be that the counterfeit
is likely to destroy, or greatly injure, our ex-
port trade, as it becomes known, leaving the
bulk of the stuff to food our own markets,
where it is even now sold in large quantities.
The most stringent measures should be
adopted to cause it to be sold for exactly what
it is, under ineffaceable brands, enforced by
heavy penalties. Then if anybody, at home
or abroad, chooses to buy it, nobody can com
plain.

The product of maple sugar in different
years varies greatly according to the season.
In the best seasons more than twice as much
is made as in the poorest. The average pro-
duet of the Northern States and the Domin-
ion of Canada-no maple sugar of any &C
count is made elsewhere-may be estimated
at 100000 pounds. About &c. 900, 900
pounds are made in the United States. This
is only sixtieth part of the whole quantity
of sugar consumed in this country Vermont
is by far the largest maple sugar producing
state, making more than 1000, 600 pounds
more than New York, the state having the
next highest product In proportion to area,
Vermont makes six times as much maple su-
gar Us New York, and more than four times
as much as any other state. Yet all the su-
gar made in Vermont is probably somewhat
less than the quantity consumed within the
state. Only one state-Louisians- as
much sugar as it consumes; but next to that
the maple sugar produced in Vermont comes
the nearest to a sufficient quantity for domes-
tic use. The average consumption of sugar
in the United States is nearly 40 pounds to
each inhabitant. Vermont makes enough
maple sugar, in an average season, to supply
each inhabitant of the state with about 80
pounds.

THE CosT OF BAD ROADS. Professor Brew
or, in his address before the Connecticut
Board of Agriculture, said that it costs the
farmer as much to haul bushel of grain
mile between his farm and the railroad sta
ton as it costs the railroad company to haul
a ton like distance over its rails, which sug-
gests the question whether our highways and
methods of transportation over them are
what they should be. Are our public roads
as level and as well constructed as we can af-
ford to have them? Is it necessary that our
loads of farm produce should be hauled up
steep hills and through miry swamps on their
way to market? Is it good economy to pile
up thousands of cords of small stones into
heaps in the corners of our fields and along
the sides of our Streets when they are need
ed for road-bed more than for anything
else, and if properly laid would last for ages,
giving solid dry track at all seasons of the
year ?-Neao England Farmer.

DeoIsIon ina Fertilizer oar.

The United States Circuit Court in session
at Baltimore, recently decided patent fer
tilizer case which may be of some interest to
our readers. The action was for an alleged
infringement of patent granted the plain
htfs for the manufacture of fertilizer from
which they were deriving large profits The
patent in question is Number FOG, OFT, and
dated July l6 1873 and describes the manu-
facture of the fertilizer as follows: "This in
vention relates to combination of chemicals
to be used in connection with dry peat or
muck and unleached ashes, or with any
refuse matter having fertilizing properties,
to form fertilizing compound and il con-
sists in combining dissolved bone, ground
plaster, nitrate of soda, sulphate of soda,
and sulphate of ammonia, in proportions
substantially as follows:
Dissolved bone, three bushels ground
plaster, three bushels nitrate of soda, forty
pounds sulphate Of soda, forty pounds
and sulphats of ammonia, thirty-three
pounds This mixture is Incorporated
with, say, twenty bushels of dry peat or
muck and three bushels of unleached ashes.
The manner in which the ingredients in
the preparation of the fertilizer are prepared,

But few persons north of Mason and Dix
on's line use turnip tops as greens, and yet
they bring higher prices in the Southern
markets than the cabbage greens. Turnip
seed is sowed very thickly on well.manured
soil late in the fall, and the turnips allowed
to remain in the ground all winter, some
times without covering, but generally with a
litter of straw and brush over them. Early
in spring this is removed and the young
shoots begin TO grow rapidly. They are cut
from the bulb for greens aud cooked in the
same manner as kale, to which they are supe-
rior. Turnip salad, as it is called, is consid-
cred an excellent dish in the South.
A territory of bout 90 coo square miles,
including the VIII ole of Iowa, the north third
of Illinois and the south quarter OF Wiscon-
sin is, we are told, to be the great dairying re-
gion of the world. Farmers there now are
said to get, upon the average, only about 80
per cent of the value their grain, the rest
going for transportation, but when the farm
is turned to dairying the net receipts amount
to 90 per cent. In 1870 thu ere was but little
butter made in Illinois or the West, and that
little was almost uniformly of poor quality.
Now there is an immense production there
and western butter and cheese command the
highest prices. In 1881 more than !, 900, 600
boxes of cheese aud proportionats quantity
of butter were sold in Chicago.

Agricultural.
a sure Proht on working Oxen---A
FREQUENT Lose on Working Horses.

EreQuemN Loss on W oFktmE Hhoraees
There has been brisk demand for work
ing oxen during the past winter and high
prices have been paid for them. II we con-
slider the value of currency in gold, perhaps
they were never much higher. They have
been closely bought up, and nearly every
pair offered has been sold at least once.
Good, well-matohed working oxen are now
bringing from FIVE to six cents per pound,
live weight.
The more general use of horses for farm
work has diminished the number of working
oxen, so that there are now hardly enough in
this section to supply the call for them.
There will probably be a good demand for
wel-mated and well-formed working oxen for
years to come, and they will find ready sale
at the season when they are wanted for work,
at prices little above their value as beef
and when in flesh they may be disposed of
at any time for their value as beeves. As
horses have no value except for fancy or the
service they are able to perform, the profit
on them when kept as a team for farm work
is less certain; they are liable to disease and
accidents that render them worthless, and af-
their vRlne from year to year, until nothing
salable remains except the hides. 1t costs
more to keep horses, and they require more
care than oxen. There is an additional ex-
pense for harnesses, double wagons, etc.
There was time when the team work was
done with oxen on nearly all our farms.
Horses were reared for sale, and one or more
kept for driving purposes more than for
farm work. On large farms, the mower and
other improved machinery, together with the
large amount of team work to be done, make
the use of a pair of horses a necessity, but
there are many rough or small farms on which
horses are now used, that could keep yoke
of working oxen for about the cost of main
tanning the extra horse that is kept to make
out the pair, with much greater profit.

SowNa GRASS SEED.-Any who did not
SOW timothy seed last fall should SOW it early
this spring. 1t is not best to wait until the
ground becomes settled and hard, but SOW
while it is yet thawing and freezing, and the
seed will stand better chance to get covered
and will commence to grow as soon as warm
weather commences By sowing thus early
we generally get a better catch" If there
should come light fall of snow one can see
about how thick he is sowing the seed With
plenty of good tame grass pasture we can
lengthen out our grazing season in Iowa
about two months longer than with wild grass
pastures only, and get more milk and butter,
and have our stock in better condition. -

is here described. 1.-THE peat or muck and
ashes IL such matter is used as the base Of
the mixture, are first thoroughly mixed with
the dissolved bone, and the nitrate Of soda,
sulphate of soda, and sulphate of am mo-
MIA after being dissolved in water, added
thereto. The ingredients are next incor-
porated with the ground plaster, after which
the compound is allowed to stand for, say
thirty or forty days, when it becomes ready
for use" Judge Morris decided that the
only difference between the formula patent
ed by the complainants and the old Liebig
formula was the substitution Of dissolved
bone and ground plaster for ground bone and
cacined plaster, and that the patent was in
valid for want of novelty or any patentable
discovery A large interest was involved in
the result of this suit.
