A few days ago the New fork Sun
printed a story about seven deer having
left the woods near Pocano, Penn., and
taken up their quarters with a farmer’s
cattle in his barnyard. The story was
read by several farmers, and has
bronght out reports of similar incidents
in the towns of Bethel and Forestburgh »
N. Y. As the presence of so shy an ani¬
mal as the deer in the very dooryards of
farms and of village residences is some¬
thing rarely, if ever, noticed before in
the region, the inference is that the
winter has been the most severe one on
wild animals in the swamps and woods
ever known. The snow has been over
three feet deep on the level in the
woods, and the thermometer had ranged
steadily below zero for more than a week
in the Sullivan county mountains.
A few days ago George E. Stanton,
who lives beside the plank road,
near Mongaup Valley, saw a large deer
running down the road toward his
house. It jumped the fence within a
rod of the house, and leaped into the
barnyard, where it made itself at home
among the cattle, and began to eat from
the hay rick. The deer was gaunt with
hunger, and none of the farmer’s family
had any disposition to disturb it. A
yonng hound that lay on the back stoop
got scent of the deer, and before he
could be seoured was chasing it across
the fields toward the Mongaup Biver.
The snow being deep and covered with
a thin crust, through which the deer
broke at almost every jump, the dog
gained rapidly on it, and when it was
within a quarter of a mile of the river
caught up with it and seized it by one
of the hind legs. The deer kept on,
dragging the dog through the snow as
ho held fast to its leg.
Stanton and two of his sons, fearing
that the dog would kill the deer, joined
in the ohase with the intention of taking
the dog off and capturing the deer alive
if possible. They overtook the dog and
deer on the bank of the river. After a
desperate struggle the deer was bouud
with a rope aud brought back to the
barn. It dashed wildly about for some
time, but finally quieted down, aud now
eats as composedly as any of the cattle,
if it is not disturbed by the presenoe of
any one.
One day last week a farmer living in
Bethel township saw a buck toward
evening leap the fence into his barnyard.
The bam door was open, aud the buck
went in. The farmer ran to the barn
and closed the door. The deer was
feeding in a manger by the side of a
oow. It was startled by the elosing of
the door, and jumping over the manger
tried to jump out of a small window in
the opposite side of the barn. The
window was too small to permit the pas¬
sage of its body, and it hung wedged in,
struggling violently. The farmer and
two other men tied the deer with ropes,
and got it out of the window by cutting
away the boards. They locked the ani¬
mal in an outbuilding. The next morn¬
ing a doe made its appearance at the
barnyard. Being frightened away it
ran half way aoross a field and stopped,
looking wistfully back.
At the same time a great noise was
heard in the outhouse where the busk
was confined. The farmer went in and
found the deer entangled in the rope by
which he had been seoured around the
horns, and lying on the floor kioking
and struggling. The farmer hastily out
the rope* tor fear the buck might injure
himself. He was no sooner free than
he sprang to his feet, and dashed against
tUe door whioh h*® left a i tr - and
went funding away across the fields,

tried to escape on horseback, was,
brought for punishment; the evidence
being so dear, that after five minutes’
listening to the testimony, the alcalde
said, in his most seductive accents:

The report of the Connecticut Experi
meat Station for 1884 is made up of the
results of analyses of fertilizers offered
for sale in the State. Of nitrogaaized,
or sometimes so-called “ammoniated’'
superphosphates, 52 samples were ana¬
lyzed, and their value was estimated in
the customary manner on the basis of
the cost of the raw, that is, nnmixed
materials, in the markets of the State.
These raw materials are such as sulphate
of ammonia, nitrate of soda, dried blood,
dry ground fish scrap, azotin; ail of
which may be used for charging super¬
phosphates and special manures with
nitrogen; or such as plain superphos¬
phate, providing soluble phosphoric
acid, or muriate or sulphate of potash
for adding potash to these manures, or
bone for adding both insoluble nitrogen
compounds and phosphate. It was
found on comparing the average price
paid for superphosphate, and the aver¬
age retail cash prices of these raw
materials, that for a dollar one could buy
enough of the said raw materials to mix
up a fertilizer which would cost a dollar
and a quarter if purchased already mixed;
or that, by expending $33.13 in these
raw materials, jnst as good a manure
could be made by thoroughly mixing
them together as could be bought for
$40.73, or the average price of these
superphosphates ready mixed »p. This
is an average case; there were in the
list of those analyzed other cases not so
bad, but then there were others that
were much worse; the worst of all was
an instance where a consumer paid $45
a ton for a superphosphate containing
only $25.18 worth of the raw materials.
Of course-it would be essential that the
farmer, in attempting to make this sav¬
ing by procuring the raw materials,
should be able to get them without any
doubt as to fair quality and at a fair
price; he might be imposed upon in buy¬
ing these, as well as in buying the super
phosphate made from them. But the
experience of a few Connecticut farmers
is much in favor of making their own
mixture. One of these put together four
tons of pure dissolved bones, one ton of
muriate of potash and one ton of sulphate
of ammonia, thus making an excellent
and really ammoniated superphosphate
that cost him, freight, mixing and all,
only $36.20 a ton; on analysis at the
station it was valued at $48.54; it gave
excellent satisfaction when usedi
Sulphate of ammonia is the most costly
as well as the best raw material for use
in charging a superphosphate with
nitrogen ; the phrase “ ammoniated
superphosphate” ie therefore a taking
one, and it is sometimes used where
there is not the slightest warrant for its
use, or at the best only a flimsy excuse,
for there are some supers called am¬
moniated that do not contain a particle
of ready formed ammonia compounds,
nor even of nitrate, which ia no less
valuable for its nitrogen; the* a are others
bearing the same attractive title, to
whieh just enough of ammonia com¬
pounds has been added to save the truth,
but still not enough to add materially to
the value of the manure. If the farmer
buys intelligently, with such help as the
Experiment Station can give him, and
makes his own mixtures^ he stands a
much better chance of knowing what hie
fertilizer is really composed of. than
even with all the help that the station
oan give if he buys bis superphosphate
ready mixed.
