We published last week Director Cookies
bulletin giving analyses Of the fertilizers
licensed for sale in Vermont. The tables
Of analysis are preceded by a table OF tho
trade values Of fertilizing ingredients III
raw materials and chemicals, agreed upon
bv several leading stations. This table Is
worthy Of study, and every farmer IN the
state should study it carefully. We note
particulnrlv the high value attached to or
yanic nitrogen in fine, dry ground fish,
blood. meat. cotton seed castor pomace
and tankage, rs compared with nitrogen
i'm uitrates, ammonia salts and ground bone.
An important defect in the bulletin is that
il does not state in what form the nitrogen
was found in each fertilizer. With the val
ne Of nitrogen in fish, blood, cotton seed,
etc. placed as high as in nitrates and am
monia salts, farmer would be wise to pre-
fer the fertilizer which contained the lat
ter, and the station ought to furnish that
information along with the rest. We be
leve it has already been given in prevl-
Gus bulletin, but it is far more convenient
to have them on the same sheet. There is
"a cat in the meal, we suspect. These
substances are all waste animal and veget-
able products and 1t is highly improbable
that the nitrogen in them is so fully availa-
nlp to crops as Ill lnt NhllS. IL II bulS lt-
Gently that they have been so advanced.
In the Connecticut report for 1886, the nj
trogen in fine dry fish was placed two cents
lower than in sulphate Of ammonia. 1t is
true that these figures are based on market
prices, but the market price of fertilizer
materials is much influenced by the fertil-
izer makers, who are the chief purchasers,
and if farmers refuse to take the nitrogen
of dried fish, etc, as equal to the nitrogen
of the nitrogen salts, the price Of the for
mer would have to go down. So give the
farmers the figures together, Mr. Director,
next time, please We printed the bullet
in last week, and hope our readers will
study it. Much money is spent for chemi
cal fertilizers, and the subject ought to be
well understood 10y all consumers.-RuU
IeimORter
The reason for estimating the whole
amount of nitrogen in all fertilizers at IL
cents "a pound highest price of nitro
gen in any form used that in ammoni,
salts-seems to require some explantion
especially as it is well known that a larg,
part of the nitrogen in most of them is o
cheaper material

Honesty, Industry and Courage.


From the Youths Companion, March lstl
In this free country of ours there is no
royal road to prosperity. The road is open
to all to the poor boy in the country as
well as to the son of wealthy parents, pos
sessing all the so-called advantages which
the city affords, and it often happens that
the former outstrips the latter in the race.
The key to success lies in three things
Honesty, industry and courage. Honesty
in all things is the very essence of the right
and commands the respect and confidence
of all. Industry is the constant use of the
faculties which God has given to everyone
and courage is what makes men self reliant
and bold to act upon their own judgement,
promptly and to good purpose.
In little farming town in Vermont lived
lad of fifteen years with his parents.
Word came from an older brother that
place had been offered him in the drug
store of Samuel Kidder in Lowell, Mass
Mr.. Kidder was the soul of integrity and
honor, thorough man of business, who
carried his christianity into his dealings
with customers. 1t was with heavy hearts
that the father and mother consented to
let their boy go, but they knew it was for
his good and they prayed that the lessons
they had sought to teach him, and the
thought of his home, would be ever-present
guards to defend him against the tempta-
tons of the great world. And so with Il
parting injunction to have honesty, indus
try and courage for the rules of life, they
bravey spoke the parting words, and sent
him with their love and their blessing to
his new home.
1t is needless to tell all that happened to
the boy. Homesickness came to him, and
often when at his work tears would come
when he thought Of his home and his moth
er. But with them came her injunction TO
be brave, and so the little fellow kept at
his work, determined TO have honesty, in
dustry and courage, confident that with
these--for had not his father told him so -
he could not fail to win.
And he did.
Go to Lowell to-day, and they will show
| you brick building 2j0 feet long and four
stories high, devoted to an industry which

Its density of population is now about

Statistics show that Ohio, as compared
to other states, is first in the number OF

THE MOUND-BUILDERa.
Rich Fields Of Archaeology in Ohio
Indian Relics and the Collections
of Historical and Repre-
sentative Specimens.

Ohio is one of the richest fields in the
United States for archaeological research,
and contains more cabinets Of arch@o-
logical specimens than any state in
America. While the rank OF civiliza-
ton was not so high among the mound
builders as appeared among the inhab-
itants OF those countries farther south,
yet the remains are more numerous
and more sharply defined in the varie-
ties found than has been discovered
elsewhere.
These facts are 80 well known to the
archRologists and students of history
that It will be incumbent on those hav-
ing specimens to freely contribute to
fully justify the assertions of collectors
and the expectations Of those who will
visit the exposition.
An attempt at classification can not be
made here; but the owner of every col
lection in Ohio, and of all that have been
enriched by Ohio specimens, is appealed
to for choice, Representative historic do
nations. All will be properly exhibited,
classified, labeled and catalogued. so
that the visitors can obtain an intelligent
idea Of the history of every specimen.
The archaeological exhibit made by Ohio
at Americas centennial in 1876 was said
to excel any save the one made by the
Smithsonian institution, and to the
credit of Ohio it was truthfully said that
much OF the value Of that exhibit was
due to Ohio, from whence many Of its
choice specimens came.
An effort will be made to obtain com
plete directory and classification of
-,
state, and the commissioner Of this de-
partment earnestly asks every one in
terested in these studies to assist in
making complete, historicaJ and repre-
sentative exhibit Of Ohio's archaeology.
Plaster casts in fac-simile may be made
of the important earthworks, and in
some cases reproductions will be made
as nearly correct AZ to antiquity as it is
now possible TO do.
The department Of Indian relics will
also embrace all articles illustrating the
domestic life, habits, dress, arms,
utensils, etc., ETC., used by the Indian
races who once made the forests OF Ohio
their home. These can still be found
and can also be reproduced. All who
can, in any way, lend articles for this
exhibit are requested to do SO.
Means of sale and exchange will be
aHOrded all exhibitors, the only reBerva-
ton being that all articles once in placs

0UR FIRST CENTENNIAL.
What Ohio Proposes Celebrating in
the Great Event-First Settle
ment In Northwest Territory.

The question IL one Of import. Why
and what does Ohio celebrate In Ter first
csntsnnislf 1t ID not Ohio merely that
celebrates . centennial this year; it is,.
In fact, celebration for the "old North
west" territory. The settlement made
by Americans on the left bank Of the
Muskingum river on that seventh day
of April, 1873, was in the "territory
northwest Of the Ohio river" Ohio did
not then exist. When Ohio was created
by an act Of Congress in 1908, that set
tlement was in her limits. Hence, the
centennial Of that settlement, the first,
organized American settlement in the
territory belongs not only to the North
west territory, but primarily to Ohio in
whose limits It now exists. That was re-
ally the foundation Of Ohio, and it 10 not
only incumbent on Ohio to take tho lead
In celebrating the centennial Of the set
tlement, but 1t is equally incumbent ON
Ohio to invite those other states now
with her constituting the territory to
Join In this centennial. Has Ohio done

answer TO this question may b. found.
