The pamphlet "Stassfurt Industry" Just
published, contains an interesting descrip-
ton Of the famous potash mines in Ger
many, from which all the potash imported
into this country and used for manurins y
derived. The chapter about thp use OF
potash in agriculture as one of the most
important ingredients Of a complete fer
tilizer adds largely to the value OF the
book, and among the many fne iliustra-
tions those showing the experiments at
Southern Pines, N. c. are OF particular
interest to practical farmers. Copies OF

Speaking of forest reserves, a Utah
authority says the people of that State
are being taught that it is easier to
get timber with forest reserves than
without them. The government aim
to regulate, not stop, the taking OF
timber. Many sheep-owners have
been opposed to these reserves IN
the past, but they are learning better
now. The sheep have been destroy
ing their own range during the past
few years to such an extent that there
will be no feed left for them if some
one does not take care of it. The
reserves are for the good of every
body, and the people are finding it

The Philadelphia Press says that
the Bureau of Standards, established
by the Government something over a
year ago, is already full Of business
and is proving of great advantage to
manufacturers, engineers and others.
Instead of each manufacturer select
ing his own standard they are now
resorting to the government bureau
and adopting the government stand
ard. Engineers are doing the same
thing, instruments are sent to be
tested and in various ways great good
has already resulted. In time there
will probably be a universal agree
ment to. abide by the government
standard. This ought to be made te

to avoid the different kinds of bushels
