Result of a POst-Mortem Examfna-
 ton.

The post-mortem examination of the late Richard E. Stanton, of this city, performed by Drs. Hubbard, Godfrey, Downs and Cum ming, dispelled the belief first entertained that death had resulted from paralysis or some other acute affection of the heart, and traced the cause to the gall bladder, where were found secreted eighty-eight gall stones,
 one of which had advanced to the cystic duct and become stationary. The surgeons had noted many deaths from this cause, but nev- CT knew one to result with such promptness after the first attack'-Bridgeport Standard.

POTATOES are being shipped from

FOREIGN competition in butter is
arousing the British dairymen to in
creased eXertion in the production of
an improved quality.
THE total value of mich COWS in this
country is about S475, 900, 900, and the
lands used in dairy products represent
about twice as much of value.

ways of improving impoverished land.
THE consumption of butter is increas-

half pounds per head in 1860 to eighteen
pounds in 1880. This is far more than
the consumption of any other country.

THE real farmers see that progress
in agriculture means something more
than fine speeches for annual dinners
and society meetings, perennial set of
officers for ancient organizations, and
horse-trotting at cattle-shows.
So many farmers have been success
full with small amounts of seed per acre
that the quantity sown is being every
year reduced, and there is danger of
overriding the business of thin seeding
without proportionate manuring.

IT is with sincere regret that we re-
cord the death of Hon. Suel Foster of
Muscatine, Iowa. He was a native of
New Hampshire, but has resided in Iowa
for about forty years. He was a pro-
gressive horticulturist, great lover of
trees and leading writer upon pomol-
ogy and arboriculture in the North
west. Mr.. Foster was looked upon as
the father of Iowa horticulture, and his
death is regarded as great loss to the
state, not only because of his eminence
as a horticulturist, but as an honorable
gentleman and warm-hearted and
faithful Christian. 1t was from Mr..
Foster that we received our first cions
of the Wealthy apple.

For four long days the north wind blew,
And from the night new strength 1t drew;
II roared and howled about the house,
As though its inmates 'twould arouse,
And when the mornings family dawn,
with light so misty, pale and wan,
1t seemed as though some dreadful woe
Did DER us now its shadow throw.
Well mufiled up, the farmers son
Goes out to view the damage done
But soon returns with tingling ears,
And says otis worse than all our fears"

And by the wind was swiftly borne

Across very high boardfence.
" And boards and shingles were," he said,
" just blown from off the old long she'd"
But still the house, not built on sand,
Stands firm as mountain, rock or land.
Butwe are not quite all alone,
Since we can talk by telephone;
And rs the weather colder grows
The neighbors say their water froze,
And that they must till spring arrives,
Down to the brook their cattle drive;
What can they use? perchance one asks,
Why, draw the water home in casks.
1t seems more lonely and more drear,
Because that some of those so dear
Are shut by storm and wind from home,
Where they so gladly now would come.
But we have no more need to fear
Than when the day is calm and clear;
For God is good, and by his will
Can bid the widest storm " BE still"
So we would lift our hearts in praise
To him who guides in all our ways,
And keeps us singing all the day.

but have been a subscriber to your
paper for long time"
REPLY BY AGRICULTURAL EDIToR.-
CD The bone and ashes mixture is just
the thing for the purpose named, APP
piled at the rate of three barrels or
more to the acre on the furrow, and
well narrowed in before seeding. (2)
The quantity applied should be accord
ing to the condition of the land. 1t is
of no use to expect of any artificial fer
tilizer better result than can be got
from the same cost of stable manure.
Many failures in the use of fertilizers
come from the attempt to make IS
work do the work of S25 worth of dung.
If Underground ra,c bone is used in
making the mixture, nothing else is re-
auired. But if steamed bone is taken,
nitrogen in some form should be added,
and this is well supplied by using cot
ton-seed meal as dryer, from one to
two bushels to each barrel of the mix
ture. If this is not attainable, then
SOW on seventy-fve pounds per acre of
sulphate of ammonia, or of nitrate of
soda, beaten fine and siftcd, after the
grass is up so as to look green. (3)
Yes, excellent, either applied broad
cast on the furrow before narrowing, or
in connection with a Embarrassing of
dung, using from gill to half pint
scattered around the hill. Never throw
an artificial fertilizer in mass, IN the
hill, as that way it does harm rather
than good. (4) No, it rather improves
them by making them decay sooner.
The grease protects them from the ac-
ton of the saltwater. 60 Steaming
under pressure not only extracts the
grease, but also removes great part of
the gelatine, which is used for making
glue. Thoroughly steamed bone is al
most pure bone phosphate of lime, and
is worth more per ton than raw bone.
1t does not need the ashes treatment
to make it available, especially when
finely -ground. CO. At the price Sub
scriber" pays for ashes and can get
commercial potash for, there is not
much difference in the cost, there be-
ing on the average about four pounds
of potash in a bushel of unleached
hardwood ashes. If the potash is
used, sift barrel of ground raw bone
into kerosene barrel, and wet it with
about three pals of water in which
eight pounds of potash has been dis.
solved. After standing two or three
weeks turn out, and mix in enough
cotton-seed meal, or wheat bran, to
make the whole dry enough to handle.
CD No, the potash in the muriate has
had its alkaline strength (but not its
fertilizing value) entirely neutralized
by the muriatic acid with which it is
combined. 1t therefore has no "cut
ting" power whatever. The inquirer
and all others, whether old or new sub
scribers, are heartily welcome to oul

KNIGHTS OF LABOR DISCHARGED.
Over 300 Men Dismissed Because They
Belonged 10 a Labor Organization.

SPRINGFIELD, O., March 3.-There is great ex-
element here over the dismissal OF a big force
of Knights of Labor from the East street Cham
pion Reaper Works. The workmen claim that
the number discharged Will reach 600 or 200.
The six lodges OF Knights of Labor held meet
ings to discuss the situation last night. but took
no definite action. The foremen in the works.
1t is said, went through the shops yesterday aud
asked every man If he was Knight OF Labor.
His answer was recorded opposite his name.
When time came for quitting work those who
had admitted belonging to theknights of Labor
were either paid off at once or told to call to-
day and get their money. The action came like
bomb,shell to the men, and the greatest ex-
at work in the various shops of this city, aud If
the affair develops into a general strike it will
last night: IL don't know just how many men
were discharged. think about 300. They are
generally distributed through the different de-
running with a full number OF hands by Mon
day, at least; we shall send to various
cities throughout the state for men. There
apprehend any. We were compelled to take
this course In the interest of human liberty;
and SO far as We are posted on the course OF the
organization in other cities it has been one OF
terror, intimidation and tyranny, and they
were constantly influencing Others to join the
order who did not know any thing about it, 1t
is a question with every factory whether it
shall have all or none of its men belonging to
these strikes or not. There is no middle
ground. We prefer to have all our men free
from all organizations, and L believe il is for
the good OF the community TO take such a
course"

plements in the world and its shops cover
