A. c. MATHEWS, of PIttsfeld. Illinois is the man 0acked by Senators Logan and Culiom for commissioner of the in- ternsl revenue, but 1t IS not probable the new commissioner will be selected from that State, as General Raum, who WAS from Illinois had a long lease of the office, and 1t Is now time that some other State should have a chance. The office is regarded as second in importance only to a Cabinet position, and wields great power. It Is more than likely the coming man will be found in New York State.

TUCsoS has shown in one important particular lack of enterprise not in harmony with its usual spirit of pro- gress. It has no public library and read ing room. 4 stranger, or the young men residing here, to pass away a spare hour or two must seek the lower orders of en- tertainment and become familiar with vices repugnant to the moral lessons taught at hls Sunday school or at home. There are many strong reasons why such @ place should be established. IL Is al- most as much a necessity for the craving intellect as food Is for the hungry stomach. IL IS a school for the young and the old, of both sexes, and if prop erly conducted it will result m lasting good to the community. Steps should be taken in securing contributions for this purpose, and there Is no doubt but the city will encourage 1t in supplying a custodian or ID furnishing suitable quarters for the books and periodicals. Let the subject be agitated until the library is an accomplished fact.

Prevent Forest Fires.

There is great loss every season by in
dividuas owning wood lots, aud to III,
public, from cHreiessucss or design in hand
ling fire. In the summer drouihs, tn,
leaYes and fallen limbs become like iinde,
and the cigar stump or emptied pipe, the
brands Of camp fire or picnic party, are
enough to kindle a great con1agstion.
Fires are clten started from the sparks of II
railroad engine, from carelessness in burn
ing brush, or from mischievous boys, Just 10
see the blaze. There is much loss to the
owner Of the forest burnt ever, in trees
killed, in Iuel anc fences consumed, and in
the vegetable wealth of leayes and mould
burned and dissipated. The forest does moi
recover, as when il is cut with the axe. 1t
remains for years blackened drsnlaiion in
the landscape. in most cases, the whole
neighhorhood suffers frnm the reduction oI
the area Of forest, already too small to hus
band the rain iall, and protect the springs
aud rivulets, that feed the rivers. This
great pubic evil should have the immediate
attentiun of all our law .makers.-Aqicm

FARMERS COLUMN.
Agricultural Value of Fertilizers.

The agricultural value Of Il fertilizer is
measured by the crop Il will produce, and
must therefore vary with the conditions
under which it is placed. The effect of a
fertilizer depends largely upon the kind OF
crops, character ofsoil, the weather, tillsge,
and many other varying circumstances, so
that the crop.producng power Of any
special manure can only be determined in
general manner, aud this must be upon q
larger number Of trials in various places,
extending over several wears. All who use
fertilizers should distinguish between the
two values pointed out In the mark ct the
three most important ingredients Of plant
food have established values, which vary
but little iiom year to year. These sub
stances may be worth more or less than the
market price 10 the farmer as means OF
producing larger crops. Until all the vary
ing conditions Of soil, seed, weather, etc
are reduced to a certainty, no one can fore =
tell the exact agricultural value oranv con-
nercial fertilizer. The farmer must count
the cost in dollars and cents, estimate the
probabilities founded on experience, nud
then try and known.-Aqricuitwist.
