A CORNELL bulletin shows that the
loss to barnyard manure by exposure
to the air amounts to So per horse and
an equivalent per COW. The probable
loss to the country by allowing the
manure to be exposed to the air in i'm

000, 900 for horses and $50 100000 for
cattle. 1t is probably an underestimate.

How was such law ever passed?
Well, we don't exactly know. So far
as it is protection to honest publish
ers, who have sent out their prints only
to those who are bona-ide subscribers,
or as acknowledged gratuitous sample
copies, it may be desirable law. But
the use that is being made of it, in too
many cases, to annoy and rob the pub
lie, indicates the necessity-the ur-
gent necessity-of some decided
modification of it with the least
possible delay. Every farmer who has
been swindled in this way should write
to his congressman about it. The farm
ers are of some 1--WE fear temporary
political importance, just now, and it is
good thing to make use of the oppor-

WE notice that Professor Sanborn,
formerly of the New Hampshire Agri-
ricultural College, but now director of
the Utah Experiment Station post
office Logan, Cache County,, has writ
ten an earnest letter in favor of an i'm
mediate separation of the New Hamp-
shire Agricultural College from Dart
mouth, and its establishment in diff
ferent locality, upon an entirely indie
pendent basis. Here is a man of expert
ence in the matter, and entirely free
from prejudice,-in fact warm friend
of Dartmouth, who recognizes the i'll
effects of placing an industrial school
near to, or having it in any way con-
nected with, literary college. How
ever it may be with the officials and
professors of the latter, the young cubs

THERE is no particular reason why
such publications should not exist and
circulate. Some of them are of con-
siderable merit, being well edited,
printed and illustrates; and these are
worthy of any farmers patronage. But
there is no good thing without an
attendant evil; and one apparent evil
is in the methods of some of these
publications to force a circulation.
They obtain, by purchase or otherwise,
large list of names and addresses in
the rural districts, and send out what
purport to be sample copies to men and
women all over the country. These
names are counted in their " bona ;fde "

THERE seems to be no end to the
multiplication of small monthly publ

They infest the country from end to

be to get up large nominal circula-
ton, in order to command advertising
patronage. They are in the habit

A Randolph, VT, correspondent asks
whether, in preparing ground bone and
ashes as a fertilizer, it would not be
just as well to mix and use them dry
instead of going to the expense OF

action of the ashes on the bone, or the
expense of putting plaster, or some

AT this time it is good plan to go
over the stock and Gull out all that it
is not desired to keep, either to feed for
growth or to use as breeding animals.
If for breeding, especial care is neces-
sary. When it is remembered that all
of the improvement in our domestic
animals has been brought about by care
in the selection, the mating and keep
ing, it is evident that if the stock is TO
be kept up or improved, good care in
all these respects is very essential.

IT is said, and Darwin is the author
ity upon which the claim is founded,
that earth worms are soil-improvers.
A writer says: "In any rich, damp
garden soil one may see bits of vege-
table matter, pieces of dead weeds or
fallen leaves partially drawn into the
burrows of earth-worms. On with
drawing one of these pieces it will be
found eaten off at the lower end. The
worms are thus aids to the cutivator in
changing crude fibre into vegetable
mould. They also add to the fine
mineral matter by grinding to powder
the small stones they swallow. The
earth-worm is thus friend to the
farmer" This is true; but as earth
worms are very rare in poor sofia
soil free from accumulated vegetable
matter-how can they be said to inn
prove such soils? They do good, un.
questionably, bylightening and aerating
the rich land, but we must think Oar

THIS is very convenient law for a
class of "snide" publishers; and is
used by them for all it is worth. 1t is
an absurd law in itself, as could easily
be seen if it were made of general APP
plication. Suppose dealers in other
sorts of goods could send you by mail,
continuously, or drop at your door be-
fore you were up in the morning, a
succession of articles of merchandise
which you would be bound to pay for,

ence of witness, more of them from

student life. Being collegians, even
though it be but of Dungy College,
our farmers sons are much too apt to
think they must have all the accessories
of other institutions of learning. They
must have their college societies, their
base ball, and foot ball, and rowing Or
ganizations-in fact, they must almost
justify the position assigned to them,
by such a servile imitation as may well
be thought the sincerest flattery-be-
cause it is so spontaneous and uncon-
scious.
Now, schools of industry have no call
whatever in such direction. For the
sedentary life of the cholastic-from
the asceticism of a close devotion to
high ideals-there must be some relief.
But the boys of the farm and the work
shop can find all the physical activity
needed for healthy development in their
daily tasks-if their teachers know their
business. We are not saying word
against manly sports, nor are we any
way averse to recreation as an alterna-
tive in connection with study. But it
stands to reason that the case being
altered, alters the case. Having scope
enough for muscular development in
their daily duties, it seems to us that
the diversions of the students of indus
trial colleges ought to be in the direc-
ton Of literature, social enjoyment, and
the fine arts. An all-around develop
ment is the most desirable; and, in or
der to avoid the too ready charge of
materialistic tendencies in the new ed
ucation, pains will naturally be taken in
some way to allow play to the finer
faculties. From the pillow and the anvil
the change would clearly be to social
enjoyments, with decamatory, dra-
matte, artistic and literary recreations.
The young men of industrial schools
must be taught from the start to broaden
themselves in all ways that tend to re.
deem them from any supposed i'll ten.
denotes, by fair degree of devotion tc
the refnements of human existence
If they should be half as successful in
this direction as large proportion OF
the students of the literary colleges are
in the other, the comparative results
as regards true culture, will prove nc
way unfavorable.

"WHAT harm is there in this?" the
reader asks. No harm at all, if the
matter is well understood all around,
with no trap or trick under it. But in
some cases, at least, these apparently
gratuitous or sample copies are con-
tinued month after month, without no.
tice as to their purpose, or with no
sufficient notice, likely to attract any
but the closest reader. They keep
coming; and after awhile there comes
a bill from the publishers for year or
more's subscription" The recipient
may take no notice of the matter, think
ing it perhaps mistake; but if it be
so, he will be served with notice that
inasmuch as he has taken these publ
cations from the post-office, and has
not refused them, or returned them to
the publisher, he is legally bound to
pay for them.
