Iron as a Manure.

write to call attention to subject that
is exciting some interest among agricul-
turists. namely, the use of iron, as a
manure, in the hope that some of your
readers will think it worth while to give
the matter trial on their own farms the
present season, and report results to the
public. The leading experimenter. thus
tar, in the line is DR.. A. b. Griffiths of
Manchester, Eng. lecturer on chemistry
in the Technical school of this city, who
from numerous field trials during the past
three years declares himself convinced
that the application of iron. in a soluble
form, is very beneficial to certain crops.
especially the leguminous Glover. beans,
peas. etc. and root crops. The iron is
applied in the form of sulpha,e g. e.,
ferrous sulphate, green vitriol or copper
as); the commercial article can be bought
at wholesale. in lots of twenty five to one
hundred pounds. at two and one-half cents
per pound.-Cor. N. E. Farmer.

The Dairymen and the Consumers

The Farm and Stockman remarks. The
prices obtained by the darymen for milk
are but one-third that paid for the article
by consumers. The remainder goes to
those who handle the product before it
reaches the masses. 1t may be urged that
the cost of distributing the milk among
the consumers is expensive, and so it is,
but as rule the dairymen do not derive
as fair profit in proportion to labor be-
slowed as they should. The time will
come when the producer and consumer
will be brought closer together. The
dairvmen can themselves distribute the
milk il organized. but the ordinary rou-
tine duties of the farm seem to cut them
off from those who use the milk. We
believe, however, that those who ship
milk to the large cities would procure IA
higher price tor their milk if they were
so determined. The great aid to the milk
producer, however is the creamery. In
those sections where no creameIies are
established, the farmers who sell milk
could easily establish their own, make
their own butter and cheese, and feed the
refuse to hogs. This will lessen the sup
ply to the cities, and probably either in
crease the cost to consumers, or lessen
the profits OF the midd .emen. but as the
amount OF milk shipped is reduced. the
production of butter and cheese will be
increased. hence the consumer will not
be injured in the end. Farmers should
take advantage of every opportunity that
affords them the privilege OF deriving
larger profits, and in all cases where they
can sell the manufactured products they
should so, and we may safely claim that
not only butter and cheese may be derived
from the milk, but pork and lard also, if
the refuse be fed to hogs.

fair to rival the famous caverns of Luray.
Virginia. A party of young men with an
Indian ladder twenty feet long effected an
entrance through two boulders of lime
stone, landing in a chamber about ten
feet square. Stalagmtes rise to the height
of six feet, while stalactites with colors
flashing back and forth depend from the
roof clear and transparent, giving to the
whols scene fairy like coloring. Scramb-
ing over rocks the explorers next came to
large hall, whose proportions averaged
one hundred feet in length, fifty feei high
and twenty feet bread. Here the forma-
