Whatever may be thought Of the

ernment established under the recent
revolution and make any attempt to
again force upon the unwilling people
of Louisiana the detested rule Of the
reckless scoundrel and adventurer whom
they have driven from the government,
which be had usurped without shadow

Among the popular fertilizers of the
day none have earned for themselves
a better reputation in SO short time
than the .'SUN GUANo" which is adver-
tised in another column. This guano
was 6rst used in the spring Of this
year as it was an entirely new article,
farmers perhaps regarded it with some
doubt, and yet many were found who
had courage to try it. Their faith in
its value has been amply rewarded, and
now heavy demand from all parta of
the Peninsula affords evidence of its
merits. as the orders already in largely
exceed the anticipations Of the manu-
facturers.


The very moderate price of the Sun
Guano places it within the reach Of
every farmer. Its entire freedom from
adulteration with sand and other rub.
bish which largely enter into the
composition of most Of the low priced
fertilizers in the markst-and its prompt
and decided effects in supplying nutri-
ment to growing crops. entitle it to the
favorable consideration Of every farmer


The unlimited facilities Of Messrs
Walton. Whann & Co., Of Wilmington,
who manufacture this fertilizer, and the
fact that they produce all their raw ma
terials, alone enable the guano to be
offered at the low price at which it is
sold. If fpro6ts had to be paid to other
manufacturers and middle men, it would
be impossible to sell such a product at
so very reasonable price. But as
these gentlemen control immense Sour
ces Of stock which are entirely manufac-
tured by themselves. it is evident that
their ability to turn out such an article
cannot be approached by any mere mix.
ers of already manufactured materials,
who are scattered throughout the coun-
try.


We advise farmers to try the Sun
Guano in seeding their wheat. Its
effects on spring crops have been in
the highest degree satisfactory, and
there is but one opinion among those
who have used it-that it is the cheap
est fertilizer ever offered for the money.

1t is worthy of remark that at the present
time the price of flour ranges from 81 to Sc
per barrel, according to some Philadelphia
quotations; and this is as low as in the most
prosperous times before the war. Yet the
most of what the farmer uses, at fair av-
erage, costs one-third more. One would sup
pose that with this comparative cheapness of
food there would be prosperity among the op-
erative and laboring classes. This has gener-
ally been the case in other parts of the world.
Cheap food and fair times have generally
gone together. We may therefore, look to
the cause of the depression of the past year to
some exceptional cause, not coming under
the head OF general rule, and this will proba-
bly, be found in the tendency of all people,
rich and poor alike, to live beyond their
means during the war. They were living on
debt rather than on actual wealth on what
they were to pay, rather than or what they


had earned; and now as we are year by year

Boston no longer lies between us. We retain
our interest and relations with our capital as
heretofore, and they retain many of theirs. But
Boston no longer lies between us. Our speak
ing tubes no longer lie over two sides and the
obtuse angle OF very large triangle. 1t is now
five hours without break, instead of eleven
hours with long stoppage and transshipment
of person and property. Time and directness
are of the essence of modern, political and So
cial economy. The curved line of beauty belongs
to art, and helps out poetry and sentiment, but
the progress of the commercial age advances in
the bee lines. Communities, cities, seek each
other in straight lines as the bi I'd flies for its
food and its friendship. Men of affairs CT the
present day, unlike the ancient Argonauts in
search of their golden fleece, move not under
fabby sails, hugging the coast but they take
the engineer for their pilot and mount the
lightning train for their vehicle and drive with
out relay to the marts of trade or the abodes of
domestic happiness. Since the merchants and
manufacturers of Portland, consulting time,
economy and facility, must come through our
city, if, in passing they will leave with us their
benediction and blessing. it will be our rich re-

approaching solid state of things, it is hard
to realize the difference. There are many,
however, who do, and they do not buy; and
others are compelled to shorten their pur-
chases, because they have already spent all;
and these things always tell on the market
for agricultural produce. One would sup
pose that people must in any event, have
something to eat; but it Is universal expert
ence that dull times do seriously affect the
sale OF farm crops. NJ


Still the question remains why flour should
be SO very low in comparison with all other
stocks? We suppose it must be owing to the
introduction of improved machinery which
the war made it necessary to invent. This
did away with an immense amount of hand
labor. and made production less costly. We
suppose that even at present prices there is
as much profit as before. The improvement
in agricultural implements has been extraor-
binary during the past twenty years. In no
other department of human industry has the
progress been SO great. In machinery for
clothing material, the progress started half a
century before it did in agriculture. 1t has
put down cotton and wooden fabrics TO the
lowest figures, and agriculture is but just fol-
lowing. The proper relations OF the agri-
cultural product to manufacturing wants,
cannot help but be disturbed under these cir
cumstances. The past troubles will tend to
produce an equilibrium. This equalization
is indeed fast being realized; and in spite OF
the croakings of some that farming will new
er be what it was, we believe that as soon as
still water is reached, which will be soon,
farming will be among the most steadily prof

quart OF such mixture put one-half of 81
bottle of Mustang Liniment, and as the dogs
got better dropped the lniment and used
Mustang only, which had marvellous effect.
for the dogs got well quickly either from the
medicine or liniments, or both combined.
