tilizers, it is bad husbandry not to
change the crop occasionally. 1t is
that there will probably be an excess
of some of the elements of plant
food over what the single crop will take.
In the course of years this excess ac-
cumulates to so great a quantity as to
be injurious. Therefore it is well not
to keep any land very long under one
crop. We believe in seeding down gar
den ground to grass as often as once
in eight or ten years, and let it stand in
that crop until its excess of plant food
is exhausted. Then turn the sod and
begin again.
WE find it stated that the short course
in agriculture, only three months,
proved so satisfactory at the Wis
consin University, and aroused so
much interest among the farmer boys
and the farmers of the state, that
another and more comprehensive
course has been marked out, in which
the students select three or four studies
and are placed under competent pro-
fessors, who adapt their teaching to the
needs of the pupil. A similar course
is offered at the Burlington college,
and we sincerely hope that large num-
Der of the young men of Vermont will
give it fair trial. 1t is entitled to this;
and success, which can not come with
out trial, may lead to an enlargement of
facilities and fuller course of instruc-
ton in all branches pertaining to agri-
culture and horticulture.
THE passage of the new Morrill, bill
through congress, giving large and
increasing annual appropriation for all
the state industrial colleges, is one
which ought to excite great interest
among the young men of the farm all
over the country. If the money is
properly used by men who understand
the needs of the case, and honestly de-
sire to meet them, great amount of
good may be done. But we confess
that our faith is very weak as to much
good being realized from this large eX-
penditure. Even under the most favor
able circumstances the expenses of stu
dents will be too great for the means of
the large majority of those young men
who might wish to become students.
The farm school, to be real success,
should be located on farm where the
students can raise their own food by
labor, which will at the same time en-
able the teachrs to unite practice with
theory in this very practical art of ag-
riculture.

THERE are, however, some points to
be considered in this connection. 1t
is found, with onions, that though they
may be grown many years successfully
on the same ground with success, yet
injurious insects increase so that in
time this crop is failure on account of
their ravages. There is still another
reason why, unless the planter is an ex-
pert in the use of manures and fer

Mr.. WARD also calls attention to a
similar eXaggeration of value in the
matter of fish scrap, when used in fer
tilizers. He asks: Z" Is there any differ
ence in fish scrap and dried and fine
ground fish? And if so, in what does
the difference consist? In the schedule
of trade value (note that these are not
market values) agreed upon by the ex-
pertinent stations of Massachusetts,
Connecticut and New Jersey organic
nitrogen in dried and fine ground fish is
valued Chat is trade value) at seventeen
cents per pound, while organic nitrogen
in fish scrap is only valued, trade
value at eight cents per pound"

A WRITER in an exchange says:
" Change the land on which you plant
potatoes every year. 1t is only onions
that will stand perpetual recurrence on
the same soil, and why they stand it
never could understand. This is
rather antiquated, and not at all cor
rect, according to modern lights or mod
ern experience. We have seen pota-
toes grown year after year on the same
land with increasing crops. Why is it
that onions alone are thought an excep-
ton? Simply and only because onions
are crop that must be well MANFRED,
every year, to get any crop at all. Use
any other crop the same way, and you
will get the same results.

ANDREW H. WARD asks, in the BoS-
ton Globe, with great pertinence: "Why
should the experiment stations assume
that the insoluable phosphoric acid of
mixed fertilizers comes entirely from
bones and not from South Carolina
rock, and reckon it at three cents per
pound, when any one who has any
knowledge of the composition and ma
terials used in the manufacture of
mixed fertilizers knows that the phos-
phoric acid contained in them is mostly
derived from South Carolina rock, and
its trade value is only two cents per
pound, as stated by the experiment
stations themselves"

1t is that impurity in the blood, which, ac-
cumulating in the glands of the neck, pro-
duces unsightly Jumps or swellipgs; which
causes painful running sores on the arms,
legs, or feet; which developes ulcers in the
eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or
deafness; which is the origin of pimples, can
cerous growths, or the many other manifesto
tons usually ascribed to "humors;" which,
fastening upon the lungs causes consumption
and death. Being the most ancient, it is the
most general of all diseases or affections, for
very few persons are entirely free from it.

They Bought the Old Man Out.

Romance and the rose go hand in hand, and
the dainty violet and the modest lily have often
opened the portals of love. but it has been left
to Californ ia to produce the only cabbage that
has everled to a real romance that wound up
in wedding. says the san Francisco C1eron-
ice.
Eighteen months ago, according to the un-
Questionable statement Of Granville W. Aiexau-
der, grain merchant of this city, there stood
in front of the door of one of San Francisco's
real estate dealers a cabbage from San Bernar-
dino county, weighing ninety two pounds and
said to be the largest ever raised. While this
production of CALIFORNIA; greatness was on OK
hiotion the Oregon express Landed from Eng
land two Brito IS, so fresh from their native
soil that they walked along the dry and dusty
streets with sur outs down TO their ikes and
their trousers rolled up to meet their coats
They were Doth bound for Australia Passing
along they espied the wonderful Cabbage Both
men stopped short. Up went two single eye
glasses.
BY Jove, old boy. but that's a doosedly large
cabbage, doncherknow'
"Doosedly large" replied the second surprised
son of Albion. and then they both went in and
inquired of the real estate man where it was
grown.
Both mon were wealthy. Both men we're
cousins, and while unknown to them tAe busy
hand OF fate was now at work, it only seemed
to the curiosity seekers t. at in deciding that
life would be misspent unless they saw the land
upon which this cabbage grew that they were
only oheying the idle within OF idle gentlemen in
going to San Bernardino to do so. And SO tney
went.
Euglishmen. as rule, are not garrulous, and
these two friends were no exception Once in
San Bernardino they we're directed to the farm
where the cabbage grew. They remained two
weeks. At the end Of that time one of them
said TO the rancher; .-....

Ii is said that aluminium at 81 pound
would be only twice as costly as copper at
Is cents a pound, owing to the fact that,
bulk for bulk, copper is much the heavier.
1t is plain, therefore, that any considerable
increase in the supply of this selni-precious
metal will produce decided effects IN the
arts. For many purposes, apart of its
lightness, aluminium is more useful metal
than silver. In view Of the combination it
exhibits Of lightness, strength and unchange-
ableness it is, for IA great many purposes,
much the better metal. At the same time
silver will continue in use as lining for
dark clouds, as long as the pull of the poet
holds good with the administration.
