The American Agricnlturist first prizes
of $500 each in gold will go to the largest
yield per acre of corn, wheat, oats and
potatoes; the second prize to the next
largest yield of each crop and so on.-
These yields must be duly reported and
certified to as prescribed in the book of
instructions and reports for the American
Agrieulturist prize crop competition.
Each contestant for the $500 prize must
be subscriber to the American Agricul-
turist for the ensuing year. Those whose
subscriptions are paid for only to Octo-
Der, 1889, or to earlier dates, may con-
test upon renewing their subscriptions.
Any farmers in this vicinity wishing
to compete for these prizes can hand
their names to us with the money for
the Agriculturist, and we will forward
the same. We hope quite number
will enter the lists.

lilies. The number of children has
diminished greatly within generation.
Schools that once contained forty or fif-
ty scholars, now contain less than ten.
This is owing partly to the smaller num-
Der of children, partly to the custom of
taking children from the schools at a
younger age and sending to private or to
graded schools in the villages. But
whatever the cause the fact remains the
same, and on general principles we say
it costs as much to educate ten children
now as it once cost 10 educate fifty, and
as much as it ought to cost to educate
fifty now. The machinery for educat-
ing a few children is as expensive as
for educating a great many. 1t seems
like folly to educate the children Of our
communities in clusters of four or five,
each requiring a school house and
teacher, when four or five of these clus-
ters can be brought together into one
large group and placed under the care
of one teacher in one building. We
must adjust ourselves to changed cir
cumstances. We must make ever and
enlarge our school districts. Towns
that now have a dozen might get along
with six or less. Where twenty-five
cents on dollar is now expended we
ought to maintain as good schools for
less than half that sum. 1t would re-
quire more effort to transport the child
ren to and from school, but most of
this effort would be laid out at season
when very little effort is required in
other directions. Our theory is, that
the farmers are burdening themselves
by neglecting to make the changes that
would reduce the burden. There is
nothing impracticable in scheme of
this kind. 1t would cost a little more
trouble on the part of those who have
children to educate, but the advantages
% be secured would more than compen-
,ate for all the extra trouble involved,
o say nothing of the diminished cost
If the system.

BIG Prizes FOB FARMERS.

The American Agriculturist offers
four prizes of $500 each tor four crops
as follows: corn, oats, wheat and po-
tatoes, one acre each, grown in the u.
States. The VT. State Ag. Society
supplements these prizes to Vermont
farmers with an offer OF a $50 prize for
the best acre Of oats, corn or potatoes.
The conditions of this offer are the same
as those made by the Am, Agricultur-
list. The Bowker Fertilizer Co. sup
plements these offers with the offer of a
prize of 5000 to the winners of the a
bove prizes offered by the American
Agriculturist. 1t is thus made possible
for the farmers of the United States to
win Sll00 in prizes the coming season,
upon any one of four crops, viz: wheat
or corn, oats or potatoes; and it is
made possible for Vermont farmers to
win $3.50 in prizes upon three of the
same crops, viz /: corn, oats, and pota-
toes. 1t is thought that large num-
Der of Vermont farmers will compete
for these prizes. We give below the
conditions made by the Am. Agricul-
turist. The conditions of the Bowker
Fertilizer Co. can be learned upon APP
plication to the Co.
THE CONDITIONS.
No contestant can take more than one
prize, though he may contest for all four
prizes.
Blanks for entries and book of instruc-
tions and reports will be furnished on re-
ceipt of ten cents.
The book will contain all the questions
to be answered in making out the report
of the crop, with blanks for the answers,
so that it will be very little work to write
the report-a point farmers will appreci-
ate.
The land must not be less than one acre
(43, $50 square feet), carefully measured |
by surveyor or other disinterested and |
person, whose affidavit there |
of, made before Justice of the peace or |
notary public, will be required.
Al complete record must be given of the |
crop. and a financial statement of its cost, |
the soil, fertilizers used, culture and 9TH |
er questions asked in the book of blanks |
for the purpose.
The harvesting must be done in the |
of at least three disinterested /
who must measure the product |
and whose signatures must attest the
honesty and correctness of the contest
ants final report duly sworn to. These
reports must be made out in the book of 1
and reports for the American /
prize crop competition. |

The ''Forum" for March commences
a new volume, and as usual it is load
ed with articles fitted to the times. 1t
would be difficult to publish review
that discusses more freely matters of
public concern. Prof. Schurman of
Cornell tells us why he thinks Canada
will not favor annexation. She has
destiny of her own to work out and has
no desire to bear any part in the prob
lens that trouble the United States. An
article that will attract more attention
than any other is by Cardinal Manning
upon our free school system. One may
take issue with him but must admit the
candor of his discussion. Prof Scar
borough, himself negro, discusses the
future of his race. DR.. Bacon suggests
some new features to be added to our
postal system which have the merit of
novelty, to say the least. We haven't
space to mention all the good things in
this number. If our subscribers want
a valuable review to read let them take

LITTLE SECRET EXPOSED.
Wilmington No Longer Considered
aJay" Town.

There was q time, and that not long
ago, when people termed this city an
overgrown jay" town, but that time
has passed and gone Before that period
when o man or boy was actually in need
OF good fashionable made suit OF clothes
he was obliged TO go to Philadelphia OF
Baltimore, but now all that's not neces-
sary. All you have to do is TO Wilt the
famous Economy Clothing Hall, No. A0d
Market street, and you can procure the
very best Of cloth IN thousands Of beauti-
iul patterns cut In the nobbiest 81 les al
the small profit of ~ per cent above
manu- acturers' prices.
For instance, n gentlemAn's business
suit of clothes that costa ten dollars tU
pcrchase from manufacturers, when II
reaches the retailer IS per cent. ie added
TO that cost, which whom offered TO the
customer by tho salesman, must bring
sl4. 80, but If you purchase II at the
Economy Hall, where the ever popular
small system profit is 10 operation, you
only pay ~ per cent. profit, and that very
Sl4.60 suit you can buy for SlO.75. The
only difference IL where these big profit
dealers sell two suits Fellheimer cells
eleven, aud thereby makes customer after
customer.
The secret of that gentleman's popu-
larlty and success is this; lie has no
two partners and high price subordina es
TO divide the profits with, but with the
assistance of J. Warren Bull en- aud
Morris Z. Moses as statesmen, all the
sales are accomplished by the above
