first class phosphates by those who can afford
their use. In any event, however, consider
ing the comparative expense OF the phosphate
and the homemade compost, and also the
probable benefits to future crops, l should
urge every farmer to husband his homo ma
nurial resources. Let him commence Mt once
and build up as largo and rich n compost
heap M timo and circumstances will permit
The quantity Of such valuable material with
in the ronoh and control of every farmer will
happily surprise those who have not had
practical experience in making compost heaps
After harvesting the remainder Of this acre
in corn, find the aggregate weight of all the
crop to be s2i0 pounds OF ears. Allowing
seventy.two pounds TO make one bushel Of
shelled corn IL will be seen that my land pro-
duced nearly 1l5 bushels of shelled corn TO
the acre.
The above field of corn was well planted
carefully and thoroughly cultivated, using
either the cultvator or the hoe almost con-
tinually throughout the season Of growth
Since the date of the first hoeing there never
was a subsequent time when even hatful Of
weeds could be collected from the whole field
at a single gathering.
To illustrate the character and quality OF
this immense yield Of corn, and to show that
the large crops have been able to report for
several successive years have not been secured
at the expense of deteriorating the grain in
stamina or terminating qualities have let
tiers from one party whom l have supplied
with seed corn every year for seven years,
wishing to contract for fifty bushels per an
mum for years to come Several parties in
the west also attest the value of these crops
for seeding purposes As the result of many
years practical experience in Indian corn cul-
ture, can assert with certainty that, on my
own farm, yield of upwards of 100 bushels
of corn to the acre is not uncommon.

wheat In the southern NOuutteh'
AT ono time tho two southern counties in
The state Windhnm and bennington, had
nearly abandoned tho culture Of wheat In
the valleys it was wholly discontinued. Now
and then hill farmer raised little wheat,
but it was rarely grown in sufficient quaint.
tics to supply the family. Within few years
q number of farmers on tho river intorvalo
lands have boon experimenting with wheat,
and find that II can be raised as we'll as for
morly. We know OF several farmers that
have raised over thirty bushels to the aero on
such lands aud the quality of the grain has
been uniformly good. Other parts of the
state have continued to raise wheat to some
extent, while its culture has been almost or
quito abandoned in the two counties Of the
southern border. According to the census of
1880, (crop of 1870 there was no other coun.
ty in the state leaving out Bennington, but
not even excepting the little counties Of Es-
sex and Grand Isle, that did not raise more
than three times as much wheat as this coun-
ty and more than four times as much as Ben
nington county. Orleans county, though not
rs large as Windham, raised thirteen times as
many bushels of wheat and sixteen times as
many as Bennington county. Addison coun-
~ raised twelve times as many bushels as
Windham, and fifteen times as many as Ben
niugton county. Excepting Windham and
bennington county, the least wheat raised in
1879 was in the small county of Essex, which
produced about II 900 bushels. The largest
product of wheat was in Orleans county,
which raised ~, 500 bushels. Windham coun-
ty raised but 3, 500, and Bennington only q
GOO bushels With wheat as sure a crop as
it has proved to be within the last three or
four years. we know of no reason why Wind.
ham county farmers cannot raise more of it.
Oats or rye are generally sown hero in reseed-
ing land to grass, but oats are exhaustive,
and grow SO thick that good catch of grass
is not 80 certain when the grass seed is sown
with them, aud rye rarely produces a very
valuable crop. Why not, then, reseed in the
fall with winter wheat?

How Watch Cases are Made.

In buying silver watch case great care
should be taken to secure one that is solid
silver throughout. The cap of most cheap
silver cases is made of a composition known
as albata, which is very poor substitute
for silver, as it turns black in a short time.
The backs Of such cases are made much
thinner than those of an all silver case,
being robbed in order to make the cap
thicker and get in us much as possible Of
the cheap metal. Another important point
in asilver case is the joints or hinges, which
should be made of gold Those of most
cheap cases are made Of silver, which is
not Il suitable metal for that purpose. In
a brief period it warps, bends and spreads
apart, allowing the backs to become loose
upon the case and admitting the dust and
dirt that accumulate in the pocket. The
Keystone SilverWatch Cases are only made
with silver caps and gold joints,

The Dominican Treatu-

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-Tbe Herald publishes
the full text of the San Domingo treaty, and
says in regard to it: "All commercial adj
Vantages are not only retained, but every
encouragement is given for the introduction
OF American manufactures and industries
Our legal tender standard of gold and silver
is to be the standard of Dominica, and a
tribunal of arbitration is to be constituted
for the settlement of every dispute which
map arise from such commercial re-
ciprocity. These are some of the intrinsic
merits of the treaty, but greater one is held
in view by the administration, inasmuch as
the harbor of Samna will eventually become
great coaling station Of the European
worlds new highway of commerce, via Mic
aragua TO the Pacific and this harbor, it is be
lieved, under the benefit of such treaty as
now awaits ratification, will be also the site
Of an American colony not less important
than the ones that are to grow up at either
terminus of the inter-oceanic canal. That
part of the treaty which proposes TO adopt
our standard of gold and silver coinage as
the Dominican standard admit our silver
coinage for circulation there and will not
only prepare the way for American interest
In San Domingo, but will be of advantage to
our mercantile interests with that country"
