CATALOGUES, EtC. RECEIVED. 
De Laval Dairy Inventions— Catalogue 
from P. M. Sbarpless, West Chester, Pa. In 
this catalogue will be found descriptions and 
illustrations of the various dairy implements 
invented by M. Do Laval. A good thing for 
dairymen to examine. 
Lubin Pulverizer.— A picture of this im¬ 
plement is shown atEig. 138. It is well illus¬ 
trated and described in the circulars which 
are sent out by P. P. Mast & Co., Springfield, 
Ohio. As will be seen from the cut, it con¬ 
sists of a set of heavy spring teeth, fastened 
to a pivoted cross-bar and followed by a series 
of wheels with chisel shaped steel teeth on 
their periphery. The curved spring teeth 
raise the clods from beneath the surface. 
• 
ing away. The great advantage in cutting 
the stalks,claimed in this report,is tlwtcut si¬ 
lage is easier to feed. This is decidedly a 
new claim, but it is pretty well supported by 
the facts given here. 8, No. Rapid filling is 
not only unnecessary, but decidedly objection- 
aide. 4, Yes, a great advantage—a greater 
relative advantage, in fact, than there is in 
selecting seed wheat. Efforts have also been 
made to determine the most valuable variety 
of corn to raise in New Hampshire for silage, 
and these efforts have resulted in a series of 
elaborate tables, giving the cost of raising an 
acre of ensilage corn, the chemical composi¬ 
tion of different varieties at different stages 
of growth, and the relative exhaustion of the 
soil occasionc d by the varieties experimented 
LUBIN PULVERIZER. Fig. 136. 
The revolving teeth then catch them and 
thoroughly crush them. The machine cannot 
clog, as it will be seen that the two sets of teeth 
must mutually clean each other. For work¬ 
ing in manure or tearing upsods this machine 
is highly praised by those who have used it. 
We have one at the new llurul Farm and 
shall give it a careful trial. 
Technical Education in Europe.— Part 
first of a series of consular reports on this 
topic is sent to the State Department by Con¬ 
sul J. Schoenhof. It deals with Industrial 
Education in France; and is an important 
contribution to educational literature. After 
all that has been written and said about in¬ 
dustrial schools in this country, it is a trifle 
humiliating to find that we are far behind 
France in a systematic organization and main¬ 
tenance of such schools. The majority of 
Americans have a wrong idea of the French. 
The Parisian is held up as the typical French¬ 
man. We hear less of the sober, hard-work 
ing countrymen who contribute whatever of 
steadiness and conservatism the French Re¬ 
public is likely to secure. As well say thut 
a citizen of New York city is a typical Amer¬ 
ican as to say that all Frenchmen are as ex¬ 
citable and changeable as are those who coine 
to the surfuce in Paris. French technical ed¬ 
ucation is a product of the steady and con¬ 
servative element in France. Manual train¬ 
ing schools were organized and supported be¬ 
cause wise Frenchmen saw plainly that 
France cun keep her place among the nations 
only by developing a class of men and women 
trained to the use of tools and machinery. 
Work must be made honorable and interest¬ 
ing by making it a pai t of an education. The 
forces that push work along to completion are 
multiplying with marvelous rapidity. The 
nation that will not prepare itself by develop¬ 
ing workers to harness these forces will be left 
behind in the productive race. Many of the 
principles that underlie French technical edu¬ 
cation would not answer in this country. We 
are unlike any other nation. Still, a study 
of these papers will help educators to a solu¬ 
tion of a problem that will be presented with 
startling force. 
Ensilage, —Bulletin No. 1, from the New 
Hampshire Experiment Station, is sent by G. 
H. Whitcher, Hanover, N. H. This Station 
has made some very valuable ensilage ex¬ 
periments, and this Bulletin gives a careful 
epitome of previous work in this line. The 
main questions which it has been sought to an¬ 
swer aie: 
1st. Are costly silos of masonry necessary ? 
2d. Can green crops be stored whole? 
3d. Is rapid tilling necessary? 
4th. Is there any advantage to bo gained 
by selecting the variety of corn planted? 
It seems pretty well settled, from the exper¬ 
iments recorded in this pamphlet, that the 
answers to these questions should be: 1, No. 
2, Yes, must certainly. Whole corn-stalks can 
be presoi ved in a silo, and make just about as 
good silage as they would if cut before paok- 
with. On the whole, this Bulletin is one of the 
most valuable additions to ensilage literature 
that has recently appeared. 
Fertilizer Analyses. -The Pennsylvania 
State Board of Agriculture published its first 
fertilizer analysis April 21. The Mapes Potato 
Manure was selected and the following figures 
will be interesting to those who know of this 
fertilizer. Analysis: Soluble phosphoric 
acid, 4 1)4 per cent; reverted phosphoric acid, 
4.26 per cent; ins< luble phosphoric acid, 4 49 
per cent; total phosphoric acid, 13.69 per cent; 
potash (actual), 7.77 per cent; ammonia, 5.14 
per cent; comparative valuation per ton 
$43 60; potash as sulphate.

and all humors, biliou ness, dyspepsia, headache, kid¬ 
ney and liver complaints, caurrb, and all affections

-For a first-class spring medicine my wife and I 
think very highly of Hood s Sarsaparilla. We both 
took It last spring. It did us a great deal of good aud 
we felt better through the hot weather than ever be¬ 
fore. It cured my wife of sick headache, and relieved 
me of a dizzy, tired feeling. We shall certainly take 
Hood’s Seisaparillaa,aln this spring.” J. H. Pearce,
