K...r.»« v».. vnr«i« le Fred wlib ibr I'nlilr. 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, P™ »*« d-ppomed * . moram K ^ey were both in the barn yard again, and ever since then the farmer lias Jell buy aihJ fodder in the yard io» them.

A Story of Alcalde Justice. “It was in one of the northern mines; and the alcalde had a slow, oracular de¬ livery, and a mild, gentle, persuasive manner. To him one day a well-dressed young man who had stolen a purse, and 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: <4 « Would you like to have a jury trial. my son ?’ 14 4 No, judge; it is not worth while to do that.’ “ ‘4M ri£ht» ray *on.

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. “Madam, can yon tell me why women #top in the middl ® of a fitreet cr08 ?
