Delitzsch is one of the humblest towns
of Germany; its population, even now,
is not more than 5000, and thirty years
ago it was much less, but from small
beginnings among the shoemakers of
Delitzsch, in 1850, Hermann Schulz has,
by faith and patience, created one of
the most remarkable social structures of
the century. When he died in 1883
there were $500 cooperative societies
in Germany organized under his own
control, besides thousands more in
Austria, Italy, Russia and Belgium,
which owed their origin to his example,
and looked up % him as their father
Those $500 societies had membership
of 12.0OO.000, share capital of f1O.-
OOO. 100000, deposits amounting to
f21, O00, 600, and did total business of
f1OO. 600, 600 a year.-Good Words.

The Kind Considered Most Suitable for
Farm and Orchard.
AZ recent meeting of the Western
New York Horticultural Society Prof.
Roberts, of Cornell University, gave an
excellent practical discourse, describing
the-system of manuring by which the
exhausted university farm had been
doubled in its crops. Wheat had reached
forty bushels per acre, and they were
now disappointed when it was not over
thirty bushels. They had manufactured
four hundred and sixty-six tons of rich
manure, and drawn it out on the land
the past year. In addition to the clover,
hay and rich food given to the cattle,
the cotton seed and other materials
plaster was strewed in the stables, which
Prof. Roberts thought as good as any
way to apply it to land. From each
cow were thus made eighty pounds of
manure daily. BY careful examination,
the liquid portions which were carefully
saved were found on an average to be
equal to the solid parts, More than
the cattle went to the manure, or in
other words, while the cost of the food
of each animal was found to be twenty
three cents day, the manure from it
was worth sixteen cents. Superphos-
phate is of little or no value on the land
at that place, and the improvement
made had been effected with home
made manure carefully saved. Prof
X. said that in common practice in
farming, half of the materials of which
manure is manufactured from the farm
never gets back to the land to benefit
the crops, and often only quarter.
To prove the difference in the richness
of manure, an experiment was made
with three portions of land, the first of
which was left unmanured; the second
was enriched with the common manure
from the town; and the third with the
best homemade manure from rich food
kept under cover The last mentioned
gave product as much greater than
the town manure, as this was better
than the unmanured land.
The manufactured manure is drawn
out and spread on the land as fast as
made, from September to February;
after that time the spring accommodations
remain in q covered yard, and are APP
piled TO the wheat in autumn. If the
heap becomes too dry water is thrown
on it; and if it is found to ferment toe
freely. burrows are plowed around the
heap, and the earth thrown on it BY the
men in spale portions of time.-COuat,y

MlNERALOGY IN THE SCHOOLS.
EDITOR SIFTER:-I have long been
under the impression that certain
branches of mineralogy ought to be
taught in our public schools; that there
ought to be in every school few of the
economic minerals kept for reference,
and study. Every boy, at least, should
become acquainted with the common
and useful ores found in our rocks,
such as. sulphuret of copper. lead, sill
yer, Anthony, Bismuth, the chrome
ores, and also the rocks which contain
gold, such as, the talcose states, COLI
tanning quartz veins.
Many farmer has lost fortune
from not knowing the simple minerals,
whereas, if he had Il knowledge of them
at school he might profited largely by
his experience. Many man has sacri-
feed a valuable property for want of
knowing what was in it, apart from
farming purposes.
A case occurred some years ago in
Australia which well illustrates what
have stated. A miner once visited a
very rocky farm, and from certain ill.,
dications he knew there were valuable
ores of copper existingin the rocks, and
some specimens were shown him by
the farmer. who had picked them from
the surface, as curious looking stones.
