SAMUEL. HOPKINS & BRO, Colesville,
Montgomery county, Md, wrote, March 18th,
1883 :-"Some nine years ago we bought a
tract of land, about four miles from Sandy
Springs 1t was very poor land, covered with
scrubby pines We cleared it and applied
manure, which we hauled from Washington,
every year up to 1880. This involved great
deal of labor, trouble and expense, and that
year, hearing of the remarkable success of
Orchilla Guano in other sections, and its low
price, we concluded to try it. We put in a
crop of rye with it, and had splendid results.
The next year we used four tons Of it. Before
the crop was made we sold the place, but the
rye and grass which followed gre,o so rank
that the new owner complained he could not
CIT it. We then bought our present home,
near Colesville, where we continue to use Or
chilla, and the grain and grass we have been
growing from its use are as fine as can be
found. We also applied Orchilla Guano in
1880 on the farm of Mrs Richardson, which
adjoined ours. We there applied 400 pounds
of Orchila to the acre; it cost S25 per ton
Beside it we applied Peruvian Guano at the
rate of 600 pounds to the acre; it cost S52 per
ton. At harvest the straw from the Peruvian
was about six inches higher than that from
the Orchilla, but it did not yield one grain
more rye. In our Judgment Orchilla GuanO
is as good fertilizer as any other we know
of, and costs much less, and we think it suits
our Montgomery county lands"

There may possibly be others, should necessl-

The following, in reference to Carroll
County teacher of many years experience,
was unanimously adopted:
To the State Board of Education of Maryland:
Observation-Disclosures Mr.. Daniel Ebaugh
a successful teacher of Carroll County, ex-
presses desire to possess Life Certificate,
it is ordered by this Board that he be recon
mended to your favorable consideration for
the same, we being fully assured that Mr..
Ebaugh is clothed with the requisite qualifl-
cations.

The Treasurer receipted for SAC of the $50

Mr.. Prugh presented an application for a
colored school at Eldersburg, but 1t had to be
postponed.
On the nomination by President Reese, DR..
j. P. Summers was appointed trustee, to
fill the vacancy made at Warfeldsburg by the
decease of the late Joshua Sellman.
The use of public school property for other
than public school purposes, was again dis
cussed, and finally all such applications were
referred to the discretion respectively of each
school commissioner chiefly concerned, on his
responsibility, who will, at the next subse-
quent meeting thereafter, report each case OF
such use to the Board, whereby all proper
action can be approved, whether it be to &C
commodate Sunday School or an election, the
latter of which occasioned the discussion.
Granted, of course.
A kind message was brought from Mr.. FOL
lickoffer, to account for his unavoidable alb
sence, and to say that young Mr.. Earnest
Stouffer is an applicant for County scholar
ship in w. NJ. College. This was unanimous
ly approved and the application was referred
back to Mr.. H., with authority to arrange 1T to
suit his own views, taking care, however, that
any action which he shall take on the appE-
cation shall not conflict with the arrangement
previously made by the full Board further
than unexpected and unprovided for changes
shall require.
Mr.. James Rinker, of Carrollton Station,
again appeared in the interest of parties who
have petitioned for changes so as to bring
school facilities within their reach, and TO
render them more convenient to all concerned;
but no action on Mr.. Rinkers proposal could
then properly be taken.
The Board adjourned to meet on Monday,
the lst day of October.

The FATHER OF FORTY TWO CHILDREN.-The
man who was actual father of more children
than any other man in this country was killed
on Wednesday at Lancaster, Pa, by being
struck by train. He lived in Reading, Pa,
for many years. His name was John Hef-
ner, aged 81, ragpicker by occupation; He
was the father of forty-two children. He was
born in Wurtemberg. He was first married
when twenty five years of age, in Germany, in
1910. His wife bore him seventeen children
in eight years by twins and triplets, and she
died. The eldest child was seven years of
age. In 1849 Heffner took his second wife,
and she bore him twins every year for five
years. This wife lived nine years. Hefner
was now the father of thirty-two children,
twelve of whom had died. He came to Amer
lea in 1857, and married his third wife in 1858.
She bore him ten more children by single
births But five of these children and the
third wife survive him.

ORCHILLA

Is no new thing. For eighteen years it has
been undergoing trial, and well has it stood
the test. At first its progress to favor was
naturally slow; but merit will, sooner or later,
have its reward, and now its sales every year
are largely increased over those of the pre-
ceding year, and the friends OF its early days
are its best friends now.
1t has been used extensively in Maryland,
Pennsylvania and Virginia, and from its album
dant success everywhere, we are justified in
recommending it to you as being well adapted
to your soils. No fertilizer for your use has
had such unvarying success and continued
popularity. Some of the largest and best
farmers in these three states use it almost ex-
clusively.
It is Successful, because it is Nature S
own provision for her exhausted fields.
It is Low Priced, because we have none
of the expense of manufacturers, and, with
out regard to its high commercial value, we
base its price solely upon its actual cost to
import
We refer you below to some of the farmers
who have used it, and ask you to enquire of
them as to its merits.
