have been using Orchilla Guano for a number
of years. l formerly used a good deal of A.
A. Mexican, and when that could no longer
be had genuine, was induced to try Orchilla.
/ soon found it had remarkable virtue, and
have used it ever since, when | could get it.
Its effects show plainly on my farm. Last
year it made me tloenty-SeUen bushels of wheat
where | only had twelve before; and on that
field now stands clover over three feet high
1t made me fourteen barrels of corn to the
acre last year, where l could only raise seven
or eight before. tried some this spring, by
sowing it in February, as is recommended,
and letting it lie till ready to plough and put
in corn, and where put it any one can see
the corn is greener and stronger. | am sat
isfed Orchilla is a valuable improver of the
soil, and now that can get it at Mt. Airy, at
low freight, will use more of it than ever.

For the Democratic Adrocdte.

MEssRs. EDITORS OF THE ADVOCATE: When
the teacher of No. Central Hall School was
turned down to crafty the petty spite of a
certain official, he did not act the crGUen I'M
beetle, and beg Nth tears in has eyes to be
kept an the position on the plea Of poverty.
Though it was so late in the season that he
could not get another school, he remained
quiet, until some weeks after he heard of a
foul-mouth SANDER used in getting him out
When the trustees of his school were ap-
preached, they could not or would not give
him the author, but assured said teacher that
it did not come from the pupils or teachers OF
Central Hall School, where he had taug INT for
two years. He might still be at loss to
know if Demonstrate had not demonstrated
that he is the author of it. We feel gratihed
that our association with Central Hall can
put the lie to so foul-mouth SANDER. We
have a remedy in our courts of law for such
ul-mouth slanderers, if it were not for the
old saying of sue beggar and catch louise
demonstrate" must remember that the
acts of public officers are always open to crit
icism, especially when their official positions
are used for base purposes. He should
also learn to be careful how he ''turned up"
things, as they may not be as agreeable as the
turning down" 1t would be pleasure to
have a candid discussion of our public school
system, which we all must admit is behind
columns of our most worthy ADVOCATE would
be open to such discussions at all times, eS-
pecially for the benefit of PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

..Shoot that SquirreI.''

A Westminster sportsman having shot a
gray squirrel, conceived the idea Of having
some fun at the expense of two others who
are fond of bagging game. He had the
squirrel skinned and the hide stuffed with cot
ton. A few days ago it was placed in large
tree in Col. Longwell's woods. The two
sportsmen-one jeweler and the other a
former grain, fertilizer and grocery dealer
the same evening were invited to go out shoot
ing. Armed with guns and ammunition the
trio started out. They had been in the woods
but a short time when the stuffed squirrel was
spied way up in tree out on limb. One
blazed away The squirrel was still in the
same position. Then Shot after shot from both
of the sportsmen followed. The fur flew, and
finally piece of the cotton with which it was
stuffed was knocked out, and then the joke
was discovered. The joke was perpetrated
by the gentleman who several years ago wasted
ton, more or less, of powder and shot on a
large iron frog which had been placed where he
would be certain to observe it, whilst cunning
for frogs. He is even now.

JESSE W. DOWNS, Dayton, Howard Co.,

chilla Guano for the past four seasons on
wheat, corn, rye and potatoes, and find il
equal to any high priced fertilizer that | have
used within the past ten years. On good
land it makes fine crops at once, and on thin
lands, have watched its action carefully,
and can say with truthfulness that it is q
sure and permanent improver of the soil. Il
certainly will make poor land rich | am
sorry did not get hold of it long ago. AL
