Relying on testimonials written in vivid
glowing language of some miraculous cures
made by some largely pulled up doctor or
patent medicine has fastened thousands to

sane faith that the same miracle will be
performed on them, and that these testi-
monialS make the cures, while the so called

The Trunk Line Pool.

NEW YORK, July 12.-For a week past
efforts have been made by the officers
of some of the trunk line and Western
Railroads represen ed in the joint exec
utive committee to get a meeting OF
that body. Their object in calling
meeting is to intiuence,i if possible, some
action that will check the cutting Of
both East and West bound rates that
havebeen steadily on the increase during
the last four months. The advocates OF a
meeting planned holding it to day, but
a representation from majority of the
Companies could not be obtained. An
attempt is now being made to secure
quorum of the committee next week
The reluctance of professed inability
of the regular representatives OF many
of the Companies to attend the meeting
that was to have been held to-day IS
genera ly regarded as indicative of de-
sire to evade or postpone the cut-rate
issue that will be raised with them.
The unusually large shipments of grain
over he Erie hallway and the decrease
in the traffic of the New York Central
is viewed with suspicion by the com
petitors of the former, and that Com
pany will doubtless be called upon at
the mex meeting Of the committee to
explain the abnormal increase in its
traffic.

SOME ALARMING FIGURES.

Thtrty.Four Million Dollars for

District.
The report of the Collector of Internal
Revenue of the First district of Penn
sylvania, comprising the counties OF
Philadelphia, Montgomery, Bucks,
Chester and Delaware, FOR the year en-
ding July 1st, has just been forwarded
to Washington, aud the figures are not
very encouraging to the advocates OF
prohibition. During the year, there
were /, ,l33, ,O8O barrels Of beer and other
malt liquors brewea in the district, and
ifit was all used where it was manu-
tactured, it averaged 45O glasses for
eyery man, wolf al and child in the five
Counties named The expense of this
liquor to the customeres was nearly W.,
900, 600.
The increase over the previous year
was sixty glasses per head land the sup
ply has Increased 100 per cent. since
1876. The manufacture of spirituous
liquors has also increased, and during
the year 1872, ,2S1 gallons have been dir
titled. Allowing sixty-tive drinks tc
the gallon, this amount represents a
total of 1S, ,348, $50 drinks,at a cost to the
consumers of not less than ~, 600, 900.
One hundred and seventv-three mil
lion. three hundred and siXty-seven
thousand segars were manufactured ana
sold last year, making an average OF i'o
for every man, woman and child, an m
crease Of six segars per head over lSS2
The report also shows II large increase
in the quantity Of chewing tobacc,
manufactured, as SO9, ,S23 pounds were
made last year, against "a, ,6o' po,lnds
for the previous year. There was ''o,
43O hounds of snuff made, and the total
cost to the consumers for segars, chew
| ing tobacco and snuff was S9,0O0,0
This added to the S23,00O,0o0 for beer
represents total OF $'4, 600, 900
In the Counties named there are o,O0t
retail liuuor dealers, and l4,o0O engas
ed in the manutaC Ctured tobacco busl
ness. The Government received ",
392, ,3lO.93 revenue from the above
sources. These figures are calculated tt
show that the consumption OF liquor
of all kinds is on the increase, ana tina
the work Of the Temperance people ha
not produced the results anticipated
There is do denying the fact tha
drunkenness is on the increase, ana
seems equally certain that the plan
which have been tried for the pllrpoS
of decreasing the amount OF drunkardS

G6JI, COWS,

The Doylestown IntelligenueI says :
Jonas y. Fulmer, of Buckingham, ,twhs
and orcupies a small farm and keeps
fonr cows which appear to be good ones
From April /, 1882 to April l, 1881
theF yielded him an average of 500
each in calves and milk. The calves
we're solu to the dealers and the milk at
the creamery.
There was no change Of cows, the
same four being kept all the year. Mr..
Fulmer is a good manager his cows
are natives, bought either out ofdroves or
of farmers. The last year he made
butter he sold little over 300 pounds
per COW, but did not think it worth
while to make any noise about it,
| His results are within the reach OF
anv farmer who will adopt a level
headed method of feeling and manage.
ment. The average price he received
for milk was no more than Sl.25 per
hundred.pounds, perhaps, land at that rate
his cows must have averaged close to
8, 200 pounds Of milk for each year. IL
will pay to keep cows at that rate. but
the average COW that yields 4, 900 pounds
or less is not a profitable animal, al
though she takes as much room, eats as
much and costs as much for attendance
and handling as one of Mr. F.'s cows
The 1000 pound COW will give a gross
return of say $50, whereas the 5000
pound COW brings in a gross return OF
say 500. This is too widea difference
If it can be overcome by proper >elec-
ton and management it ought to be at
Itempted, In herd of only four cows
it makes a difference of $3.50 in year,
and in herd of ten cows 1t would
make, if equal results could be obtained,
a difference Of $500 year. This issome'
thing to think about.

AGRIC u l. T u K A l.

Those who propose to make their own

from time to time given formula for

suggestions of different exp rimeh'ers.
In this connection we VIII give
the formula recommended by the
Vermont Board of Agriculture, which
has been subjected to many tests
and found to be as uniform
ly reliable as any of those found in the
market "Take 200 pounds OF bone
meal (dust), says the Secretary" the
finer the better.
"Sift, if you can get hne sle'e' SO as
to sa w 100 pounds OF the finest. Put
the coarse part of it into tub or box,

slowly add two gallons of sulphuric
acid. which weighs at least fourteen
pounds to the gallon. Stir continuously;
it will foam and boil. Let it >tand
twelve hours then add another gallon
of acid as before and, whilelt Is hot, 80
that the Jumps break easily, add the
other 100 pounds of bone meal. This
will then weigh about $50 pounds. Add
to it Immediately 500 pounds of dry
loan, wood dirt, muck, or, If these are
inconvenient to get, you NAV add

muck best.
"This, of course, has been previously

and You have ton. 1t has cost You
eight dollars, and, as far as my expert
ments 90, and those of others who have
tried the same way, it is equal to any
ton of heterogeneous fertilizer used.
use about two hundred pounds of this
to the acre, and find it as good as any

dollars a ton. | find ii better than bone
cut with sulphuric acid until it con-
tains fifteen per cent. OF soluble phos-

Numerous complaints have been
made against various parties who KEEP
small boats to hire around the several
bridges, on account Of their hiring
them to small boys and in some cases
mere children, who are nos capable OF
handling a craft of this kind. 1t is al.
most of daily occurrence that n number
or little street arabs club together, pro-
cure boat and paddle their canoe in
the Christiana and place their lives in
jeopardy. The owners of the boa
should be very careful who they hire
TO, for if an accident occurs they would
be held responsible. 1t is to be hoped
that they will take warning and desist
from this practice.
