Again the FertIIi.erLnM,

Edit0r Phgnis: The modesty for which
you gave me credit in your issue of Dec goth
would, possibly, demand silence as to any
further consideration of the fertilizer law. l
wish, however to say that your way of stat
ing the question, viz ave believe that not
one manufacturer in ten will comply with the
conditions of the law" will bear the con.
struction which was placed upon it in my for
mer article. 1 certainly shall have no contro-
versy with you when you say that mot one
manufacturer in ten will sell their fertilizers
in the state !" for, as you have stated, very
few have sold in the state heretofore, and it
is hardly probable the law will effect change,
unless it be to induce men OF integrity, who
manufacture good article, to place their fer
tlizers on the market here, knowing that un-
der our present law there can be no dishonor
able competition, as every manufacturer will
be obliged to put brand upon eaohfpackage
of fertilizer offered for sale, giving true
statement of its contents. Honest manufac-
turers, think, will now find this state good
one in which to sell their fertilizers; the 9TH
er class trust the law will exclude.
think your fears as to the present law
keeping any valuable fertilizers out of the
state are groundless. Manufacturers do not
invest their capital and time for the small
profits which farmers make-and might add
or newspaper publishers. The profit on a
single carload of almost any of the fertilizers
will pay the license and leave a handsome
margin for the agent or dealer. See reports
of analyses by Prof. Sabin of the Vermont
University, as published in the Vermont Ag-
rioultural Reports.
Should farmers desire ton more or less
of any fertilizer, from Chicago, Buffalo, or
any other place, they can order it without any
fear of the law, and no law can prevent the
manufacturer from filling such orders
But let us admit, for the sake of the argu-
ment, that the license fee and the bond will
diminish competition !" then the question
is, Will it not be better for the farmers to
have less competition, and have law to pro
tect them from fraudulent manufacturers?
We cannot have law without the bond and
license. law with 40 penalty for its viola
ton is of little value and if penalty, then
there must be some provision for enforcing it.
The only way to reach manufacturers out of
the state is to require bond and without the
license we should have no money provided
for ascertaining whether the law was violated.
1t may be said, the state should appropriate
money for this puTpose-a proposition more
easily made than carried into effect But this
is police regulation, and it is proper to re-
quire the manufacturer to pay a licenge to
cover the necessary expense OF the analysis.

The cellar of many farmhouse has caused
disease which might have been avoided by q
little extra care. Decaying vegetables and
fruit fill the cellar with their unhealthy odors
and gases, and these arise to the rooms above
through cracks or crevces or through the
open door, and the family is compelled to in
hale them. This may be remedied by care
fully assorting out all decaying vegetables once
or twice month, and by opening the cellar
windows at night and closing them through
the day. Ventilation is the secret. 1t is q
good plan to connect fue from the bottom
OF the cellar with the chimney, by which nox-
lous gases will be removed. Don't put of
this matter of ventilation until it is too late.
