Farmers* Club Questions and Answers.
Does rye make good fodder?
. Rye for fodder makes probably the
best early feed that can be grown, but
care must be taken to out it before it gets
ripe or stock will not relish it.
Can fruit trees be grown successfully
hi wooden troughs ?
Very prolific dwarf trees may be produced
in wooden troughs in the open air.
As in |>ot culture, so in these troughs,
the roots are restricted and an early fruitful
condition secured. Farmers who
have plenty of land have 110 need for
t adopting this mode of culture, but persons
in <*ities have furnished considerable
fruit in this way. In latitudes where
apricots and nectarines nave not time m
ordinary orchard culture, an arrangement
of this kind on the sheltered 6ide of a
garden fence has been introduced with
profit.
In what proportions are these troughs
or boxes made ?
They are usually made with twelveinch-wide
boards for sides and bottom,
nailing the sides to the bottom to guard
against roots protruding into the soil beneath
; these may be of any length ; the
* trees are generally set about three feet
apart.
Can anything be done at this season to
assist in bringing back a good even
growth of grass to a lawn that has become
thin ?
Yes; give it a top dressing of good
stable manure at once. Let it be well
laid all over the surface, and have a care
that the manure is well rotted. As occasion
offers during the winter it should
be broken up and manipulated with an
iron rake. The object is to distribute it
evenly over the entire surface, so that
it will settle down and moisten the good
roots. When spring opens the rough
strawy portions, if any are left, should
be removed, otherwise it will interfere
with the proper keeping of the surface.
Why are not liquid manures more generally
used on farm crops ?
The expense of their application on a
large scale prevents the extensive use of
liquid manures. Their value in floral
cultivation is acknowledged by all. In
the pot culture of plants, where the
amount of soil is limited, when judiciously
applied liquid manure is of vast sendee.
Much harm, however, may be occasioned
by its indiscriminate use. Healthy and
well rooted plants, such as are well sup
pned wiui liungrv roots out grow siowiy
for want of nutriment, as orange and
lemon trees, etc., for years in the same
pot or tub, are greatly benefited by its
application.
For what crops are ashes specially
beneficial as a fertilizer ?
Ashes are among the best of fertilizers
for onions. For this crop they should be
strewed along the rows, lengthwise, and
the cultivator then rim between them, or
else lioed by hand. Applied to Indian
corn, a handful to each hill, immediately
before a rain storm or just before a crop
is hoed, ashes give good returns. For
vines in tliejgarden they are also desirable.
Ashes applied to grass lands just after
the first crop of hay has been taken off is
said to have a fine effect.

FARM, HARDEN AM) HOUSEHOLD.
Hni?:iiK Lnrtfe Cro;)* of Corn.
S. Jx Oane^ Vinelaiul, X. J., who
represented himself as an honest inquir* r
after the truth, asked permission to propound
to the farmers' club the agricultural
conundrum, viz.: Why do not some
of the members of thought tell how to
raise a large crop of Indian com instead
of conjuring up unintelligible and nonpractical
formulas for making fertilizers
which will not return the proprietor as
much money as he expended in purclias
mg tne cnuie chemicals i
It requires not only com formula, but
a vast amount of hard-fisted industry, to
raise a satisfactory growth of corn. Before
one can produce a bountiful crop of
Indian com the soil must be fattened,
especially a soil that has been impoverished
by injudicious management.
Chemists write on agricultural topics.
It is a tedious process to improve land of
ordinary fertility so that it will yield one
hundred bushels per acre, If the soil is
thin or run down, it must have large
quantities of barnyard manure worked
in; clover or maize, or both, must be
plowed under, and the plow, harrow and
roller used to turn up, tear in fragments
and crush to fine afoms the entire seed
bed. Little by little the productiveness
of the laud will increase by these means;
then, when it has been brought up to
the point of yielding forty or fifty bushels
of shelled corn it will be safe to apply
chemical fertilization; f( r every dollar
expended for the required elements will
be the means of producing more than
tlirice its value in the increased yield of
corn.
A member added that sufficient plowing
enhances the fertility of the soil in a
great degree. Especially is this true
with cornfields. The more frequently
the ground is stirred, if done carefully,
so as not to injure the roots, the more
rapid will be the growth and the more
abundant the yield. Farmers who have
tried it affirm that if land is plowed as
soon as a crop of grain is taken off, then
ftfrnin in a month or six weeks, and still
again in tlie early winter, plowiug a little
deeper every time, the benefit to succeeding
crops will be equal to a coating
' of manure. The more finely adhesive
soils are pulverized the more readily they
appropriate and impart to the plant the
nutriment supplied them, whether it is
gained fronrthe atmosphere or from fertilizers
applied; consequently the policy
of frequent plowing as a preparation for
the growth of a large com crop was i
urged by this member. In green manuring
of laud he advised the plowing in
of rye as very advantageous. The grain
should be plowed in about the time that
the rye has attained its full growth, but a
little before blossoming. It should b3
rolled down flat first, so as to be readily
covered. This process enables the land
to be quickly supplied with a large
amount of valuable plant food in the
organic and mineral elements gained,
nearly equal in value to a good dressing
of guano. Regarding artificial manure
for the corn crop, the member referred to
Professor Cook's experiments; the deductions
from the results gained by him
were that the muriate of potash, applied
at the rate of one hundred pounds per
acre upon soil of an excellent character,
is very effective and may be profitably
used; that any other fertilizers tliau potash
salts cau be used only at a loss upon j
a corn crop grown upon soil in good condition;
that even barnyard manure may j
be used to excess, and therefore unprofitablv,
when the soil has been brought by
previous good culture and fertilizing up
to a certain standard of productiveness;
tliat the direct application of barnyard
manure to the corn crop is not so effective
as applications well incorporated
with the soil; that a decaying clover sod
furnishes abundant ammonia for a full
crop of corn, and, finally, that a previously
manured clover soil is the best of
all preparation for a corn crop.

Macaroons.?Blanch and Dound eight
I ounces of almonds in rose or orange
flower water; beat the whites of eight
eggs; then mix with two pounds of sugar
sifted with the almonds to a paste; lay a

To Cleanse the Head.?A dime's
worth of pulverized borax, dissolved
thoroughly in a pint of water. Cleanse
the head, especially the partings, once a

Harrison Pudding.?One and onehalf
cupfuls of chopped suet, one cupful
of molasses, one and one-half cupfuls
of chopped raisins, one cupful of
sour milk, one teaspoonful of s<xla, one
teaspoonful of cream tartar, or two teaspoonfuls
of baking powder, sifted
through the flour thoroughly; spices,
and stir as thick as for pound cake, and
boil three liours. Sauce made of egg,
sugar and cream, or any other rich recipe.
Apples in Rice.?Scoop out the cores
and pare very neatly half a dozen good
sized apples; boil them in thin, clarified
sugar; let them imbibe the sugar, and be
careful to preserve their form. Make a
marmalade with some other apples, adding
to it apricot marmalade and four
ounces of rice, previously boiled in
milk, with sugar and butter, and the
yolks of two or three eggs; put them into
a dish for table, surround it with a border
of rice and marmalade and bake it.
To (Jet Itid of Quack (.'russ nnd Thirties^
To destroy qiutck grass of any of the
different species to which this term is
applied, the ground should be plowed
and harrowed thoroughly and the roots
picked off the surface. Any left will
grow again. Potatoes, corn, beans cr
other hoed crops should be grown and
kept cultivated and weeded thoroughly.
There will be little quack left after three
clean hoed crops have been taken. Thistles
may be destroyed by plowing lightly,
so as to cut the stem but not the roots,
and then growing crops that are cultivated
continually.

THE ASHTABULA DISASTER.
What CmtM'ri It?Three Point* of Importance
l)i*niM?<-<l.
*
The testimony concerning the Ashtabula
calamity is confused and to a certa'n
extent contradictory. There are three
points of importance : (1) Whether it
was suspected beforehand that the bridge
was weak, the suspicion arising from
known faults in its construction; (2)
whether the iron used in the bridge was
of good quality; (3) as to reprehensible
iirtrrWt iii rmffintr nnt the fire. On the
UV(,1W?
last of these points the inquiry is likely
to he thorough. A great (leal of feeling
has been aroused upon this point at
Ashtabula. The witnesses testify to the
abundance of means for extinguishing
fire. There was plenty of water and
hose, a steam pump with steam up was
at hand, and finally a fire brigade was
there before the fire had reached its
height. The excuses made for neglecting
to couple the hose and turn on a stream
of water are lame and unsatisfactory.
It is not necessary to ascribe an indifference
or a malice that would be fiendish
to the men who are responsible for that
neglect; they were simply incompetent,
aud lost their wits in the emergency. It
is not certain that any lives could have
been saved if water had been turned on
aud the fire extinguished as soon as was
practicable; but, unhappily, there is
still room for a suspicion tliat all who
were buried in the wreck were not dead
when the firemen concluded not to extinguish
the flames. The fact that cries
were no longer heard from the wreck
seems to be deemed satisfactory on this
point by some of the witnesses; but it
certainly is not proof that there was no
life there. Mr. Lyons, one of the survivors',
believes that many lives could
have been saved if water had been
promptly turned on. In any event the
early extinction of the fire would have
been of immea'surable service in enabling
the dead to be identified. The excuse
is that the rescuers were wholly busied
iu helping the living, aud spared no effr.vt
in assisting the sufferers.
As to the construction of the bridge,
the evidence is not only indefinite ; it is
contradictory. If half the minors about
it are well founded, the bridge was from
the first utterly unfit for its purpose. It
is reported that for two years after it was
built, the company kept false works
under it to give it an appearance of
safety. Residents on the line say that
the insecurity of that bridge has been
a matter of common talk for years. At
one time there was a current belief that a
pier was to be built to sustain it at its
center, and there appears to have been a
dispute as to its safety between its architects
when it was erected, the one who
first designed it believing that it was
weakened by a change of plan. All this
needs to be thorouglily sifted before the
blame can be laid where it belongs.
In respect to the iron used for constructing
the bridge, the testimony is
meager. The circumstance tliat it liad
borne the testing load of six locomotives
will doubtless be brought as evidence of
the original strength of the iron. There
is some reason for believing that part of
the train was off the track. If this can
be proved it w ill go a long way toward
explaining the sudden breaking of the
iron. If it cannot be proved, the inference
must be that the iron was of inferior
quality. The experiments of Prof.
R. H. Thurston of the Stevens Technological
Institute tlirow much light on
this feature of the case. His apparatus,
afterward used by a commission appointed
by the government to test iron and
steel, has revealed many peculiarities of
the metal when under strain, that have
previously been little noticed. It would
take too much space to present here the
technical details, but a few of the results
obtained by testing for varying temperatures
may be summarized. The experiments
rather poiut to than prove the
assertion, that if the iron is of the best,
low temperature does not render it more
liable to break with either a quick blow
or a steady weight. If it is not of the
best, it will still bear a steady weight
(such as six locomotives) quite as well at
low temperatures as at moderate ones,
but when exposed to a cold near zero of
Fahrenheit it will yield more readily to
the strain of a sudden blow. The impact
of a moving railroad train on the
rails is far more hke a sudden blow than
like a steady weight. The experiments
are yet incomplete, and it is not fully
known how far each of the impurities of
iron?such as sulphur, phosphorus and
silicon?takes its share in thus reducing
its power to resist a blow. But accepting
these valuable experiments as far as
they go, one fact seems unquestionable :
no railroad bridge made of inferior iron
is safe in cold weather. The question
must be pressed home : Was or was not
the bridge at Ashtabula made of the best
of iron??Xcw York Tribune.
Washington Gossip.
A Washington letter says : Just now
the favorite solution of the Presidential
complication is to hold a new election
next fall, and to allow the president of
the Senate, whoever he may be after the
fourth of March, to administer the office
uri ittfpt'hn. This is to be brought
about, according to tlie gossip of the
lobbies and cloak-rooms at the capitol,
by the Democrats in the Senate debating
the questions arising in the progress of
the count until the clock strikes the
hour of noon on March 4, when it is
claimed the whole operation of counting
the votes necessarily ceases. Then the
Senate is to proceed at once to swear in
its new members and elect a presiding
officer. By the time this is accomplished
a message will be received from the secretary
of State announcing that there is
a vacancy in the office of President of the
United States. The newly elected president
of the Senate will take the oath of
office before the chief justice, who will,
of course, be in waiting with his gown
on, and he will then jump into a carriage,
drive to the White House, and set
the wheels of government in motion.
The feasibility of this method of settlement
is asserted by the Democrats,
who say that unless the Republicans
should again set up the abandoned
claim of the right of the president of
the Senate to count the votes there is no
way in which a declaration of the election
of Hayes can be arrived at against their
opposition. The Senate has 110 rules to
limit debate, and now that the joint
rules are abrogated, there would be nothing,
they think, to keep them from talking
day and night to kill time and prevent
the completion of the count.

cents a pound dressed will cost sixteen

dressing costs four cents, and a nine

when not dressed weigh seven pounds

weigh a pound and a lialf loss when undressed.

spectable girl named Lizzie Blown, whom j
he carried away to St. Louis. There she t

i deserted her, leaving her at a hotel, without
money or friends. Through shame
she concealed fier name, and it was only j
after the most anxious search that her
relatives discovered her and brought her
home, ruined in character and broken
in health. An indictment was brought (

her betrayer, and when the case came on 1

Cowardly Assaults.
When a candidate for high office is so well
liked and so popular with the masses as to
make his defeat difficult by fair and honorable
tight, mean and cowardly men are not wanting
who delight in manufacturing lies and
slandering his good name. There are also
those whose selfishness prompt them to prostitute
their honor, pervert truth, and ignore
right, for the sake of injuring a competitor in
business, whose prosperity they envy, and with
whose business sagacity they have not the
talent to successfully compete in an honorable
way. These thoughts are suggested by the
mean, cowardly attacks made upon me and my
medicines, by those who imagine their pecuniary
prospects injured by the great popularity which
my standard medicines have acquired, and the
continued growth of my professional practice.
Narrow minded practitioners of medicine, and
manufacturers of preparations which do not
possess sufficient merit to successfully compete
for popular favor, have resorted to such cowardly
strategy as to publish all sorts of ridiculousreports
about the composition of my medicines.
" Almanacs," "reoeipt books," and other
pamphlets are issued and scattered broadcast
over the land, wherein these contemptible
knaves publish pretended analyses of my medicines,
and receipts for making them. Somo of
these publications are given high sounding
names, pretend to be issued by respectable men
of education and position, for the good of the
people?the more completely to blind the reader
to the real object in tneir circulation, which is
to injure the sale of my medicines. "The
Popular Health Almanac " is the high sounding
j name of one of these publications, which contains
bogus receipts, without a grain of truth in
them. Not less devoid of truth are those which
have been published by one Dr. L., of Detroit,
in the Michigan Farmer, and by other manufacturers
of medicines, in several so-called
journals of pharmacy. They are all prompted
by jealousy and utterly fail in accomplishing
the object of their authors, for, notwithstanding
their free circulation, my medicines continue
to sell more largely-than any others
manufactured in this country, and are constantly
increasing in sale despite the base lies concocted
and circulated by such knaves. The
people find that these medicines possess genuine
merit, accomplish what their manufacturer
claims for them, and are not the vile, poisonous
nostrums which jealous, narrow minded physicians
and sneaking compounders of competing
medicines represent them to be. Among the
large number of pretended analyses published,
it is a significant fact that no two have been at
all alike?conclusively proving the dishonesty of
their authors. It is* enough for the people to
know that while thousands, yes, I may truthfully
say millions, have taken my medicines
and have been cured, no one has ever received
injury from their use.

! The object or the AMERICAN NEWSPAPER j
DIRECTORY is not very different from that of j
' the well-known mercantile agencies which exist ''
in all leading cities. The latter keep their sub- t
scribers infurmed of the character, habits, repu- |
' tation, business ability and financial strength of !
* persons with wliom they are likely to have bu.-i- "
> ness transactions, enabling them thereby to so "
' regulate these transactions as to secure probal.ly 1
1 profitable dealings, or to avoid such as will be I
1 likely to result in ultimate annoyance or loss. A
1 The DIRECTORY conveys the best obtained p
information concerning the character and value \

spend money in advertising (a large and ira- 9
portant class), and it is from them that the pub- /
e fishers of the DIRECTORY, in their capacity of |
r advertising agents, derive their profit and sun
port. It is to tliem and not to newspaper puD- 0
fishers that they owe the duty of faithful service.
The theory that advertising agents are the i
servants of"newspapers, and should advance >
, their interests first, is amffhilated by the system ]
k long adopted by publishers. almost without ex- J]
1 ccption. of ignoring any idea of protecting the
! so-called agency and maintaining the right to appoint
cornrefitors in the same field without
- , the consent of those already occupying it.

i 8TRENOTH OF THE PERRON ABOUT WHOM INFORMA\
TION IS ASKED, SO 18 THE CIRCULATION OF A NEWS- 1
PAPER GENERALLY CONSIDERED THE POINT UTON j
WHIcn INFORMATION WILL BE OF MOST VALUE TO THE
ADVERTISER.
There are, among merchants, some who deny j
the right of a mercantile agency to inquire into ,
their private affairs, and who decline giving r.ny i
information uj)on which a rejxirt may be based; but
the mercantile agency does not. on that account,
neglect to inane a report It gets from
other sources the best obtainable information,
and upon this its estimate is based, although it <
cannot be denied that the reticence of the party i
! in question is almost always attributed to a
knowledge upon his part that a true report
} would be prejudicial <o his credit. The report \
i made is, therefore, likely to be less favorable i
than it might have been had the information f
i asked for been cheerfully and frankly furnished.
So also there are among newspaper publishers
i some who deny the right of any one to inquire I
into their affairs. It has been the policy of the
i publishers of the DIRECTORY to omit all in.
; formation about circulation whenever plainly
j : and "unequivocally commanded to do so. In
I such cases the matter is disposed of by annex1
ing to the reports-the words " objects to stating
i i circulation." In every case where the above
command is not plainly and unequivocally con- .
j veyed to the publishers of the DIRECTORY,
i they make up their report in the same manner
pursued by the mercantile agencies in estimating *
t. the financial strength of a merchant, and, l:ke
" the institutions referred to, they decline to re- i
e ' veal the sources from which they have obtained
. j their information.
It is undoubtedly true that no publication of
_i j this character is privileged, and tnat in an in]
1 stance where a merchant or a newspaper is
. | seriously injured by an unjust or materially iu'
| correct report the courts furnish a remedy,"and
' KaOi mnwinnfilA afT,.n/?r nr niriw*lnrr nnliljBlifir
? | will be held responsible "for actual damage shown j
i to accrue to an injured party from a report '
| proved upon trial to have been erronres. j
This in a liability which the publishers of the i
I DIRECTORY cannot escape; it is therefore
* I one which they hold themselves at all tin.es !
j ready to meet.
The greatest jx)ssible care is taken to make
I the DIRECTORY reports correct Every pub|
lisher is applied to very systematically. All
- | information i? taken in n form which excludes
' any but definite statements which cannot be
(.misunderstood, while every effort is made to ,
protect honest publishers against such as would
r ; resort to lying or perjured reports to gain an
_ ! unfair advantage.
\ I It has rarclv been found that a cause of com- '
- ; plsint has "arisen ngain.-t any report which has
i- appeared, iu either of the seven annual volumes
- of the DIRECTORY already issued, which has I
I I not resulted cither from tlie neglect of a pub,
j lisher to respond to appeals for information or
an effort on his part to substitute other and
| different information instead of answering the
_ plain questions upon the blanks furnished for
, the purpose from the DIRECTORY office.
* The Directory estimates the circulation of no
? ' newspaper until after an application has been
>t made to its publisher fo- the actual figures, and
T- t sufficient time allowed to elapse for the statement

5,
Publishers of newspapers who* desire
to furnish the Directory with a statement
of circulation are supplied witfi a Diani
which takes for granted the following
I | conclusions:
FIRST.
5 Every publisher is either willing or unwilling
to have nis cireuletion published in the Directory.
SECOND.
If any publisher is unwilling to have his circulation
published, the publishers of the DirecI
tory owe it to their patrons to state why the in,
J formation is withheld. This they do by inserting
the words "Objects to stating circulation."
THIRD.
' If willing to have his true circulation given, a
^ publisher will desire that none but true circulations
shall be published for competing journals.
FOURTH.
That none but true circulations may be published,
it is necessary that none but explicit
statements be accepted from any.
FIFTH.
A statement intended to convey explicit information
must be so worded as to prevent the
possibility of its meaning being misconstrued.
SIXTH.
That none but true and explicit statements 1
may be accepted from others, every publisher
will see the necessity of giving his own in regu
lar form, if at all. If one is allowed to vary the
form a little, another may vary it more. If i
none vary it, all will be fairly treated
% SEVENTH.
- r The blank is entirely unobjectionable to those
7 who demhe to furnish full and explicit informai
tion.
eighth.
From persons who are not willing to furnish
an explicit statement, any other would be
worse than useless.
NINTH. ,
To persons who decline making any state- J
y ment, the form adopted is as unobjectionable ,
* as any other. <
texth. 1
lt If a publisher makes no statement of circula%
tion, it is fair to presume that it is from inditfer- |
? ence or neglect, neither of which ou his part ]
Jj \vill excuse the publishers of the Directory for I
: imDerfections in their book. For all such cases
the editor of the Directory has instructions to
estimate the circulation from the best inform a- 1
: tion open to him.
