)ome and 0rm. What the Several States m Dotnc for Agricultural Societies!. Prairie Farmer. - The following facts are of interest as showUig what the several States are doing lot tbe agricultural societies located within their borders: Vermont appropriates annually $3, TOO and does all the printing of the board. By recent act of its Legislature, a superintendent of agricultural affairs was appointed with a salary of $1,400. Kansas' appropriated last year $14 800, and makes an annual appropriation of $200 to a?h county or district agricultural association. - Maine grants an annual appropriation of $6,000 to the various agricultural societies of the State, and pays the secretary a salary of $1,200, and gives to the bonrd of agriculture $1 000 to defray expenses of holding two conventions of the farmers. Massachusetts makes an annuil appropriation of $3,000. Kentucky pays the commissioners $2,000 per annum, and pays for the printing of the office, with other necessary expenses of the same. For the past four years it has made an annual appropriation for tbe geological survey, of $22,000, and for each of the years 1S78 and '79, $15,000. Ohio appropriates annually $3,000 to the agricultural board, pays for the printing of its publications and other necesary expenses.

Connecticut gives $10,300 annually and publishes 300 copies of the annual report of . 350 pages, and 1,200 copies of the Chemist's Report of 130 pages, and gives to the local eericuitnral societies from $100 to $300 each. "Illinois gives annually $8,300 and $100 to each society that psys ttie previous year as much as $300 In prmiums.

Correspondence Massachusetts Plowman. The squash ranks among the first of vegetables, bying a weic me dish upon the table, healthful and delicious. And as the potato crop is becodiing somewhat of an uncertainty, and its production attended with greatly increased labor and cost, on account of the Colorado beetle, the squash may yet become more of a necessity than ever before. The grfat cre and attention which have been given to the improvement of the squash has resulted in giving us valuablo varieties, weli cdupUd to tbe different seaaoua. Ilius trative g: this, take the Ttubaa for a fali squash and tbe Hubbard fjr a wiulersquasb. The labor required to raise and gather a crop of Bqnaabts is comparatively' light. The cost of seed for an acre is small, even to purchase pure SL-td of a reliable eeedsman. Of course t'je tender growing plant has its enemies in worm and insects, an J must bs? protected; and herein, perhaps, lies the greatest secret. Tho maggot has destroyed the crop of many a fttr.uer and gardener, even when the vines eeernd plungm; and reveling in luxuriant vigor. In soins sections of the past year the maggot has caused wide and sweeping destruction, and discouraged many from expecting a crop of squashes In the future. Having lost my crop of sqnishes In former years by tbe maggot, and also been much annoyed by bujs, my efforts tbe past year in combating maggots and bug were si mole, easy and successful. For ths benefit of ttioss who wish to metes Hse of my experiments, I will state them: Spread the main part of tbi manure upon the land and plow under, putting one shovelful of finely composted manure in the hill, with a handful of rait thoroughly mixed with it If the maggot should appear, paur water mixed with Paris green about the roots of the plants. My trouble with bugs was to the extent of two applications of Paris green ia wa:er, requiring but little time. As these applications are made before the plants blossom, I see no danger. For Tillers of the SaU. Waupun Times. Some cf the farmers near Wan pun have -discovered a way of doubling np their crops, resulting in much benefit to themselves, and which adds greatly to the quality of tbe gram raised. One farmer sowed 10 acres of land with six pecks of wheat and two pecks -of oats, mixed. He harvested 22 bushels of Iso. 1 wheat to the acre, and a still larger crop of oats. By the side of this field be sowed clear wheat, and only harvested 14 bushels to the acre, of poor No. 3 grain.' The seed and land were the same in both. Another man did still better tnan this by mixing oa:s and wheat. Mr. C. B. Martin, of this city, has devised a funning mill which separates the two - kinds of grain completely. The . reason that the crops are better from mixing is that the oaia hare a more sturdy growth of straw, and nearly 10 limes as mucb foils as wheat This foilage keeps out the sun, and allows tbe earth to remain moist and cool, tn us insuring a better growth for the wheat, and keeping away chinch bugs t the Fame time. Chinch bugs always Attack the wbeat on high, dry knolls first. This knowledge of doubling crops, if tbe

grain can be successfully w pirated after threshed, wtu be ot immense value 10 larm era, and ia worth a trial by all. Those who are skeptical may begin on a small sca'.e. The crop will be a valuable one, even if a machine to completely separate the oats and wheat is not easily to be hail. Oats and wheat, ground together, make a rich, heavy food. In view of the' poor crops hereabout ot late years, it would seem to be worth while to try any promising experiment. Baviaa; Xaaore ay Absorbent. Cor. Country Gentleman. I If there is one thing more than another of tmpori-ancs to farmers it would seem to be the subject of manure, or fertilizers, their making and economizing, and their application. The subject of absorbents at once goes fo the root of manure-making, as well as to tbe saving of its ammonia from otherwise inevitable waste. The uriae of animals contains a large part of the nitrogen and . phosphoric acid of animal excrement, therefore it wonld Kern of the greatest importance that means should be taken to save it in some form convenient of application to

the soil. This is most eoono niciliy done by means of absorbents, and these absorbents should be dry matter, caoable of absorbing and holding all the valuable elements of

the liauid. or thev lose tntir emcacy. farm ers pay liberally for similar matter from the market, not realizing that by a little foresight and labjr as good results might be had. while the cash might be used in soma otner wan. Dried swamD muck, leaves, straw. sawdust, clay and fine sand are prohabty the best absorbents, ana aoout in me oraer named. However, some reference should be bad to the soil to which the manure is to be applied, and this matter of application must be adapted to the soil as well as to the purpose to be subserved. A neighbor of mine applied a dressing of manure broad cast on plowed ground, ' and for weeks there was an ammoniacal scent la tne air, ana so strong was it that it penetrated the rooms ot bouses an eighth of a mne away so powerfully, wken the windows were up, as to be offensive. The query with me was, did or will that man get the greatest good from this mode of application of manure? . A Farmer's Tool House. (Germantown Telegraph.1 There should be a tool houss on every farm. It ia indispensable if implements such as plows, harrows, forks, shovels, rakes, rollers, moving and reapiog machines, wheelbarrows, etc , are ti ba protected sgaiuit the weather and certain injury done by expos ure from rust and rot. This house should be made with large doors to close tightly; and, in a part of it say at one end there should be a separate room with window?, containing a "work bench," a "shaving horse," vise, augers, gimlets, chisels, a couple of "plant a." a mallet, hatchet, hand saw, screw driver, nails, screws, pincers, and so on; so that, in severe or inclement weather of any kind, when out-door work is impossible, or when there is none, many repairs of things can ba done, and even some new article made, harness, blankets, etc , .mended, new handles to forks and rakes put in, and a score of odd jobs attended to which will prove a great convenience and a step forward when spring opens and active operations on the farm commence. There should, of course, be a stove in the shop, in which fire should be made every morning. Ibis would cost nothing for fuel. as the chips and blocks about the place, and the offal coal from the screening of the ashes ana ashes should always be screened would supply all the fuel necessary. It would be a resort, too, for the men and boys, even should there be nothing to do, and ta women-folks wou'd get rid of them wheu they would be likely to be in the way in the house. Cntting Timber. A correspondent of the Xaw England Homestead, speaking ot cutting timber, says he has feiled trees in March from the stumps of which he never saw a sprout stsrt, the reason being, as he supposed, that the pores of tbe timber were well open to aid in a rapid circulation of sap, which was then in full action, and readily exhausted itself on coming in contact with tbe atmosphere, and a decay of the rooU was tbe re salt. He says that If he were to cut timber for the greatest degree of out of door durability, he should prefer doing it in the long, warm days of summer, when the bark is easily removed a process that should always be performed, as the timber will season more rapidly. He states tbat he has sscn rails from timber cut in June and peeled, where the sapwood seasoned and remained sound for years. If the bark is left on, moisture gets between it and the wood, and rotting is sure to commence. In the matter of sprouts as fine ones start from stumps whera the trees wete taken off in June as when the chopping was done in midwinter. Tbe raefnl aod tbe Beantlfal. Tbe tomb of McscS is unknown, says the Edinbnrg Review, but the traveler slakes his thirst at the well of Jacob. Tne gorgeous palace of thewUestand wealthiest of monarchy, with cedar, and tbe gold and ivory, and even the great temple of Jerusilem, hallowed by the invisible glory of the Deity himself, are gone; but Solomon's reservoirs are as perfect as ever. Of the ancient architecture of tbe Holy City, not one stone is left upon another, but the Pool of Bethsadia commands tbe pilgrim's reverence at tbe present day. The columns Persepolis are mouldering into dust, but its cutern and Bcqneiluct remain to challenge our admira tioD. The golden houie of Nero is a mass of ruins, hut tbe Aqa Claudia still pours into Rome its limpid stream. Tbe Temple of ths Sun, at Tadmor, In the wilderness, has fallen, but its iount&ia sparkle in its rays, as when thousands of worahiperrs thronged Its l ifty colonnades. It may be that Loudon will share the fate of Babylon, and nothing will be left to mark it save mounds of crumbling brickwork. The Thames will continue to flow as it does now. And if any work of art should rise over the deep ocean, time, we may well believe that it will be nether a palace nora temple, bnt s3tne vast aqueduct or reservoir, and if any name should rlish through the mist of antiquity, it would probably be that of the man who, in his day, sought the happiness of his fellowmen rather than glory, and linked his memory to some great work of national utility or benevolence. This is the true glory which outlives all other?, and shines with undying lnster from generation to generation, imparting to works some of its own immortality, and in some degree rescuing them fioui the ruin which overtakes the ordinary monument of historical tradition or mere magnificence. Tbe Cbiaeae Method. February 4, says tbe Nevada (Cal.) Tran script, is the day on which tbe Chinese select one of their number to preside over their Jose bouse. The discharge of fire works constitutes an important factor in the day's observance. 'Che manner of proceeding is as follows: The two companies here are permitted to have each a number of representatives, and the fleetest and strongest men are generally chosen. The delegates repair to a vacant lot at the rear of tbe Joes house. A stipulated number ot bombs, each one containing a metallic ring, are placed in charge ot a committee to fire off these bombs one at a time. When the explosion takes plscs the ring contained in the bomb is sent flying into tbe air. It is the desire of tbe two factions to have their respective delegates secure as many of them as passible. When the ring drops there is a general scramble on the part ot all duly authorized to obtain possession of it. Mucb amusement is afforded to lookers-on In con sequence of the vigorous efforts put forth by the heathens. ' After the bombs have all been fired tbe two companies compare notes, and the side having tbe largest number of rings is entitled to elect a Jess (equivalent to minister of the gospel with, us) from among their numbers. "lea Don't Kaow Their Value." 'They cured me of ague, biliousness and kidney complaint, as recommended. I had a half bottle left which I used for my two little girls, who the doctors and neighbors said could not be cored. I am confident I should have lott both of them one night if I had not had the Hop Bitters in my house to use. I found they done them so much good I continued with them, and they are now well. That is why I say you do not know half the value of Hop Bitters, and do not recommend them high enough." B., Rochester, N. Y. - Xtoara Can Bark Willi Impunity; Human beings can not.

(Hate bonds dull. The stock market opened firm and a fraction h'gher, but subsequently prices declined to , Western Union, Atlantic and Pacific and coal shares lead leg in the downward movement. At several board quotations the current showed a recovery of H to 2 from the lowest point, and the market continued firm to the clow, and advanced In prices from the lowest point, ranging from yt to 1. The stocks most conspicuous In the Improvement were Western Union, Michigan Central, Lake Shore and Northwestern. The Express says: -The executive committee of the Western Union telegraph directors met to-day, and recommended the usual quarterly dividend of Wt per cent. This was a disappointment to those speculators who expected a stock dividend, and tbe price dropped off, but subsequently advanced when it was reported tbat the surplus, April 1, would be 540,0U0. a gain of &!12,U0O since January 1, and that the com pan v was negotiating contracts with the trie, Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohio roads which would preclude these companies from going into the telegraph business, and tbat the capital stock would be raised to 330,U0o,000 and a 6 per cent, dividend paid thereon, and as soon as this could be done without inviting hostile legislation on the part of Congress."

The general markets have undergone no changes worthy of special comment daring the week closing with this evening. The weather of the past few days has briskened np trade lu all branches of commerce, and the number of country buyers in the city has been larger than for weeks past. PROVISIONS. Tbe provision market has been quiet throughout the week, aud on Saturday and to-day it was rather dull, bnt holders are not anxious sellers at tbe ruling quotations. GRAIN. ' There has been considerable jumping about in the wheat market since our last weekly report. The market to day Is rather bullish, with an active demand for shipping pnrpose, and quotations are being well maintained. There la nothing new to nota In tbe corn trade; the market is reported as ruling steady at present values. Oats are scarce aud active. GROCERIES. This market has showed about the usual amount of activity during the past week8 tap! 3 goods have fluctuated but little, and have been in fair request, and fancy goods Rre quiet and unshanged. To show the condition of the Eastern market, we clip the following from the New York Bulletin of Saturday: Coffee On the wholesale market for Brazils tbe tone conliuue somewhat unsettled without the appearance of much strength. Holders keep their limit on about the line of figures rnling for some days past,, but quotations must be considered as In a nieasuro nominal In tbe absence of fa'rly testing business. Sales of 1,714 bags Kio ex "City of itio ds Janeiro," on nrivate terms. The stock of West India growth remains un der fair control, and undue pressure to realize Is, in consequence, prevented. Indeed, lu some cases, we find holders talking somewhat more steadily than during the early portion of the week, but there is no special tendency to an upward tnrn. Jobbing business has bee u fair tor Saturday, but we hear of nothing moving from first bauds. Sugars. On raws the market continues In a somewnat unsettled conamon, "at not enongn so to cause any positive change on valuations, and the rauce of o notations remains as before. Some holders talk a little steadier and are honefulof an IrnnroveU market next week The recent opeiations have covered a slightly Increased proportion 01 tne tow grauea.

Kefined are moving fairly and the tone of tho market is reasonaDiy cneerini. former rates are sustained on most grades, and there la not much stock 01 any kind to carry over. DBY GOODS. Business daring the week has been quite brisk. Tbe spring trade baa at last opened In earnest, and prices rule steady. We clip the following from the New York Bulletin of Sat urday to show the tone of the Eastern market: Cotton Goods. There bos been a steady demand lor moderate re-awortmenta of brown and bleached goods, and liberal deliveries of leading makes were made on account of back orders, as was also the case with wide sheetings. Colored cottons were In fair request, aud there was a well sustained demaud for clievlots, bat cottonades have not shown much animation. Prices of stapl cotton goods continue firm, and medium grade bleached shirtings have an upward look, orders for several prominent makes being accepted "at valu" onlv. Messrs. J. L. Bremer, Brothers fc Co. have advanced tbe following well-known makes of bleached goods, viz: I.angdou u B 4-4 10 10c, and Langdon "76" 4-4 to Iks. The following additional makes of bleached gooda have been advanced : Blackstone A A 4-4, llio u't;Fitcbvllle4-4,6c ncU Prints. The demand for printed calicoes has not shown much improvement, and transactions still lack the liberality of former seasous at a like period. Some of the best makes of in odium and light fancies are, however, doing fairly and a very few of these are closely sold ap, but I he general demand ia by no means satisfactory, and stocks are acoumuiatlug In some cases. For 56x00 fancies the demand continues fair, and the supply is not large in first hands. Apron prluta are receiving marked attention from buyers for all swot. tons f the country, and these goods are likely to have a brisk ran. Dress Goods. There has been a fair movement In worsted dress goods from ageDta bands (In which both stapfo and fancy fabrlos fiartlclpated), and Jobbers report a nteudtly ncreasing trade In tills department. For ootton dress gooda thore was un Irregular demand, and buyers are manifesting more care In their selectfona than tn former seasons, the befit labncs ol this class receiving a marked

J .reference over trashy qunlltles, owing to tbe ow prices ax whlcb tne loriner are offered.

A GOOD PLAN Anybody can learn to make money rapidly operating Stocks, by the "Two Unerring Kules for Success." In Messrs. Lawrence A Co.'s new circular. The combination method, which this firm has made so successlul, enables people with large or small means to reap all the benefits of largest capital and bebt skill. Thousands of orders, in various sums, are pooled into one vast amount and co-operated as a mighty whole, thus securing to each shareholder all the advantages ol the ltirgest operator. Immense profits are divided monthly. Any amount, from 85 tn 85,i, or more, can be used successfully. N. Y. Baptist Weekly, September 2itu, lt78, says, ''By the combination system 815 would make 8T5, or 5 per cent.; 850 pays 8150, or 7 per cent. ; 81C0 makes 81,000, or 10 ptr cent, on the stock, during the month, according to tbe market." Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, June 29: "The Combination method of operating stocks Is the most successful ever adopted." New York Independent, Sept. 12: "The combination system ia founded upon correct business principles, and no person need be without an income while It Is kept working by Messrs. Lawrence t Co."

SAN FORD'S RADICAL CURE

For CATARRH Catarrhal Deafness Permanently Cored with One Settle. Gentlemen About two and a half years ago I commenced treating my little granddaughter, aged eight years, for deafness caused by Catarrh, with your Radical Curb. She was relieved by a ha.f-bottle taken In Inhalations. She continued using It until the bottle was finished, ana we find that she Is permanently cured, as she has no return of the Dealneea. She has been deaf from ' her third or foartb year every time she had a cold, and we feared tbat it was incurable. I think it waa a wonderful cure, and write this that others so afflicted may be helped In the same way. Mats. a. a. V Aft 1 . Miltobd, Mass., December. 1877. SANFORD'S RADICAL CURE Is of marvellous efficacy for relieving violent attacks of Sneezing, to which many are sub ject, for cleansing tbe Head and Nasal Passages wnen cioggea wit a onensive matter, lor deodorizing and purifying the Breath, for rendering the Head clear, tbe Brain active, the Breathing easy and every Sense In a most grateful and soothed condition. Dr. Chas. Main, a Boston physician, says: "As a remedy for the treatment' of every form of Catarrh, I consider it superior to any prerti 1 1 i,r, laiH Hnnm In ..- t.i.f Kmlr with which I am familiar." . SANFORD'S ' RADICAL CURE Is a Local and Constitutional Remedy. It is Inhaled, Thus acting directly upon the nasal cavities.
