THB best bank ever known is a bank of earth it never refuses to discount to honest labor. And the best share is the plowshare, on which dividends &rc always liberal.

WHEAT CLUUS.—The Dixie Farmerstates that in many localities in *he South, farmers are forming what they style wheat clubs, in which each member pays a certain amount of money, to be appropriated as a premium for the best acre of wheat harvested in 1869, and cach member pledges himself to compete for, the premium.

BIG CATTLE.—The Fayette County fferald says that Mr. Henry Kirk, of that county, recently sold in New York city eleven head of cattle at an average of #356 per head. They weighed 24 cwt. gross. One pair weighed 5,030 pounds. Why not every farmer get good stock and raise Huch cattle, instead of spending his time and feed on "scrubs V" They eat less and are less trouble in every way, and the pleasure of taking care of them would almost pay of itself.

POISONOUS ACTION OF TIX.—A chemist, in London, whose family had for months been greatly afflicted with various unpleasant symptoms, as pains in the stomach, diarrhea, vomiting, «fec., after careful examination traced the cause to the use of saucepans of copper and iron coated inside with tin. The latter substance has aot generally been considered as obnoxious: but, under certain circumstances, the tin becomes oxidized, md, on admission into the stomach, combines with the hydrochloric oi' the gastric juice and forms an active poison. The injurious action of lead and coppcr are well known, and it is well to suggest the possibility of danger in the use of articles lined with tin

T'

DESTKOYING STUMPS.—The Baltimore Leader suggests the following methods for getting rid of stumps without making a large hole in the ground:

We have heard of two methods of getting rid of stumps, which, as they appear feasible and inexpensive, we hope some reader will try and report upon: Bore with a two inch augur to the heart of the stump fill the cavity thus made with sulphuric acid, or with crude oil of petroleum. In the first case, the acid becomes the destructive agent within a few months in the latter, when the stump becomes saturated with the oil, it is fired, and will then burn out to the last particle, like a candle.''

FISH BKEKDING IN NEW IIAKI'SUIKE. —We have had a glance at a report, recently made to the New Hampshire Legislature by the Commissioners of "River Fisheries. It is brief, but to the point. The commissioners, after allusion to the increased interest taken by all classes in the breeding and increase of fish, and the great success already resulting from the passMage of protective laws and the efforts of many private individuals, recommend the renewal of the appropriation of §1,500 for the restocking of rivers, lakes and ponds, and the appointment of fish wardens in every town to see to the faithful observance oftho laws. The Pemigewas#et had been stocked with salmon, and several lakes and ponds with black buss. The owners of waterpower have constructed "ways1' for the passage of fish over

Jill

the dams

of the Merrimac, and over those of Hie Pciriiuewasset as far as Woodslock.

We hope soon to see the leg­

islation of every .Stale looking, with the attention its great importance dc•••«erv's, to this branch of political •economy.—

S\!/r IMU: (JJJASS.—A eorrcspondent writes to the American Institute Farmers' Club on the subject as follows ••When I was in Austalia, 1 no1 iced tliat the tracks made by ihe. drags loaded with salt hides were always green, even in the severest times of the long ^uickiielders. or hot-winds, charged w/th du*l that destroy evcry-thing they pass over. This Jed me to think that here was solution of the qeesiion as to the -best dressing for grass-lands, and it was here found it. Lor twelve seasons 1 have.seen it tried upon a variety of lands and grasses, and always with the same results. In spring the refuse salt, and sweepings from the •ships and wharves, where wet-salted hides have been islowed, is spread over the, sward.- The young spring grassi is strong, and .grows.^: quickly.

The cattle are fond it and eat it evenly, and the fields so dressed keep green when all around is parched, and iry. From the absorbent qualities of the salt moisture is attracted and regained."
