the following preamble and resolution
was adopted
WHEREAS, There is existing in

separate, and independent of the other,
thereby requiring two sets of records:
and two sets of county officials to be
feed and paid, consequently creating
TITO separate debts where there should
be but one thereby making taxation
double, and placing an unnecessary
burden upon the people, and
WHEREAS, There can be but one legal

Good Advice on a Subject Whose Import
ance Farmers Can Not Over Estimate.
The pig-pen, poultry-house, stables,
and yards will turn out complete fer
t~ilizers than can be depended upon,
which car not be said of many com
mercial fertilizers that contain but a
part of the ingredients of plant-food,
supposing them to be genuine. With
few exceptions commercial fertilizers
are special fertilizers, and when intelli-
gently used are valuable aids in pro-
ducing large crops; but when a COM
mercial manure is advertised as desira-
BILE for all crops, on all soils, beware
of fraud. Phosphates and super-phos-
pilates may furnish a good supply of
phosphoric acid, sulphuric acid, and
lime, but they lack in potash and am
monia. By using such fertilizers a very
stimulating effect may be produced for
a few years, bur. unless they r sup
plemented by more complete and sub
stantial manure, the soil may become
impoverished in those elements that
the fertilizers do not furnish. To be
sure, they produce extraordinary re-
suits for a few years, and cost no more
than hauling out a good coat of barn
yard manure; but in using them
you are borrowing from the future,
and drawing upon the fertility of your
farm.
So make all you can of good, SUBJ
stantial, complete n at home,
Very few farmers realize in this way as
much from the at their COM
mand as they ought. How much does
the average farmer get from his pig
pens? A load or two each year of the
clear, raw n that is dumped into
a few heaps out in the field. Its great
strength goes to waste on a few square
rods, producing a rank growth of vege-
tation that will lodge and, in a large
measure, be lost. The same manure
properly composted with more bulky
absorbents would have covered an acre
and made it highly productive. When
will we learn the value of sbsorbents in
the pens, yards and stables.
The straw-stack and the muck-bed
may be used to absorb the fertilizing
liquids and gases that are daily going
to waste. Put a good coat of manure
under the hen-roosts, keep a supply Of
it for the stable-gutter, the yards and
tbs privies. Keep the pig-pens, the
stable, the calf-pens and sheep-pens
well Uttered with fine chaff and straw,
and you will find that the loads of ma
nure upon your farm will be doubled,

Cultivated for Producing Oil-The Industry
in New York-Adulterations.

Cultivated for Producing Oil-The Industry
in New York-Adulterations.
Peppermint has for several years
been extensively raised in Western
Michigan for the purpose of producing
oil. Recently it has been cultivated in
Mississippi for the same purpose. A
correspondent of the Department of
Agriculture gives the following ac-
count of the industry in New York:
About 300 acres of land are annually
devoted to the production of this useful
essential oil in Wayne and adjoining
counties, which is justly considered the
finest quality grown in the United
States. Only a small quantity is grown
outside Of Wayne County. The annual
production is 10000 pounds Of oil,
superior to any produced in any other
part of the world except a small place
in England. 1t is planted very early
in the spring, and requires very thor
ough and peculiar cultivation. The
harvest begins in August. After cut
ting, the mint is allowed to wither for
eight or ten hours, is then raked and
placed in cocks, where it can be left
but a short time before being taken to
the still. The still consists Of wooden
tubs Of heavy slaves strongly hoped
with iron. The wilted mint is packed
in the tubs by treading with the feet;
when full, a cover made steam-tight
with rubber packing is fastened on by
screw-clamps. A steam-pipe connects
the lower part of the tub with q steam
boiler. Another pipe connects the top
of the tub with the condcnsing-worm.
Steam being now introduced from the
boiler by means of stop cocks, it per-
meates thoroughly the contents OF the
tub and escapes through the pipe con-
Meeting with the worm. At a pressure
of forty pounds the oil Of the pepper
mint plant is volatized, and mixing
with the steam is carried along through
the pipe to the worm, where it is con-
densed, and the mixed oil and water
are discharged into a deep receiver,
where the difference in their specific
gravity causes them to separate. II the
tube, pipes, etc., are all entirely clean,
and nothing but the best plant-ns
weeds or other plants-placed in the
tub, the oil will be strictly pure, and
when settled, refined and filtered will
be ready for market. Peppermint is
sometimes care1essly cultivated, and
various weeds which produce oil allow
ed to grow among it, which, if stilled
with it, give impure oil. In the cities
peppermint oil is frequently adulterated
by dealers with the oil of hemlock,
pennvroyal, arbor-vitae, rosemary,
marital, Canada flea, bane, spruce, and
uar;ons other cheap essential oils.
