have been noted in New Hampshire and

for sale for 81 200 or "a 40 acrel The year

pay the interest GU the purchase money.
The farm is located within forty. five min.
utes' ride Of two large railroads and three
or four fourisblng, large manufacturing
towns, afiording al excellent market for
garden truck and farm produce. About
sixty acres Of the farm can be easily made
culuvsble, and large portion Of it can to

Hosrd's Dairyman makes the following
comments:
We are glad to print Mr.. Douglass gal
liant defence OF q state TO which the West
is so greatly indebted for brain and Drawn.
What he says is all true, and we would not
be understood in any sense as speaking in
u sighting manner OF Vermont or its PEG
pie. But the fact remains. nevertheless,
that farming has been painfully growing
less sud less profitable in Vermont. We
find it in the same condition that obtains
in many portions OF New York. We don't
beieve there is auy need OF it, and the ex.
cuses Mr. Douglas urges do not hit the
mark. Take it in dairying for instance.
We believe that we can take Vermont
arm to day, and by the use OF energy and
hat kind OF intelligence that fits the case
there. make as much money on 25 cows as
We can in Wisconsin. But we will not do
il by practicihg the old. plsyed-out meth.
DDS OF 40 years ago 10 breeding, handling
and feeding dairy COW, or in making and
marketing her product. There is tire.
mendous sight Of old fogyism in these old
dairy states. That's what makes them keep
so many cows at dead loss every year.
That's what drives their young men west.
That's what cuts down the prices Of real es.
tate. You cannot run worn. out farms on
WORKOUT methods.
The Vermont farmer himself needs fer.
tilizing Is much as his land. Agricultur
and agricultural brains are going into de.
cay There ia money to be made 10 good
daIrying for Instance, in Vermont Brains
and their outcome, thought, study and
knowledge. rs well ~ hard work. must
ssnctify every stroke OF work, or 1t goes
Tor nsusht. Those old farms have snp-
ported and educated several generations.
They can do in again, bat not 10 the old
ways. We talk aud discuss and think and
read on these vital questions ten times ~
much In Wisconsin, with sll our good vir.
gin soil. as they do 10 Vermont Stir them
up, Bro. Douglas The Dairymsn will pull
of IT'S coat and work Just as bard for Yer.
mont as it has for the West.

A Good Potato Crop.

J. johnson tells In the Greenfield Gaz-
cite OF remarkably good potato crop
grown by M. b. Phillips in the north part
of Greenfield, Mass, on measured acre
according to the provisions of the Ameri-
can Agriculturist's premium offer. The
land is course gravelly loan. with peb-
bles Of slate rock. 1t was in pasture and
practically worthless until plowed last year
and dressed with 200 pounds Of CONNER
cial fertilizer This year twas given 400
pounds Of Stockbridge potato manure and
planted with Early Rose and Hampden
Beauty potatoes From this acre there
were harvested 1877 bushels Of merchanta-
BILE potatoes. OF 60 pounds to the bushel,
aud 80 IL bushels OF small ones, making
the total crop OF the acre full 22S bushels
A bustel of the large ones counted 1886
potatoes, and bnshel Of the small ones
1895 A few rotted or defective ones were
thrown ont without being weighed OF
measured, but judged to be not over two
bushels in the whole acre.

Another of the cats then sprang at
her, seizing the calf of her right leg and
cutting it severely with his teeth. Mrs.

Manufacture Of Artificial Ivory.

y
How is artificial ivory nader OF late
years the scarcity and dearness of gen.
uine ivory have driven inventors to
manufacture artificial compounds ca
pable of replacing it for many indus
trial and domestic purposes. These
compounds, which may almost with
out exception be classed under the
name of ''cslluloid," are formed of di-
vided cotton waste or some similar
substance, soaked in either vegetable
naphtha, nltro-benzol, csmphor or al
cohoI. Sufficient of these solvents is
used to make soft, plastic mass,
which is subjected hydraulic pressure
and mixed with oils, gums and coloring
matter.
Any degree of fexibility can be given
to it, and it can be made white and
transparent or of any brilliant color.
1t can ba made hard as ivory, or re-
tanned in so soft condition as to be
capable of being spread in layers over
textile fabrics in the same way as paint
is laid on. It can be pressed and
stamped, planed like wood, turned in
lathe. cut with saw, carved, woven
| or applied as varnish. When dyed tn e
dive runs through the whole substance,
and cannot therefore be rubbed or
washed out. An artificial ivory of
creamy whiteness and great hardness
8 now made from good potatoes WASHED
diluted sulphur1c acid. then boiled
the same solution ultil they become
solid and dense. They are then washed
free of the acid and slowly dried This
ivory can de dyed and turned and
made useful in many ways.-Chicago
