Correspondence of The True Northerner.
Land-plaster, gypsum, or as tbe chemist
calls it, aulphate of lime bas been more or less
extensively used in Europe as a manuro for
land ever since 1750, when Pastor Meger, a
German, first called attention to its effect upon
different crops.
It was tirat introduced into this country by
Benj. Franklin, who brought it from Parts
hence its common name, " Plaster of Paris."
When first used, different investigators as
cribed its good results to different causes,
eome saying that it furnished eulpber to the
growing plant, and others, that it flxodtbe
ammonia of tbe atmosphere.
Itbaaboen found, that while plaster helpB
soil that is dry, porouB, gravelly, or Bandy, it
does much less good on stiff clay land, especial
lyif they are wet or water soaked. Its in
fluence is mere noticeable in a dry season
than in a wet one, and amounts to little or
nothing on a soil destitute of vegetable mattor,
unless manure ia applied with it. The use of
plaster by itself tends to dissipate tbe vegetable
matter in the soil, hence, if manuro is not re
placed in some way, tbe use of this substance
may have the effect to exhaust tbe soil. The
most marked influence of plaster on plants is a
large increase in the formation of leaf and
stalk, as distinguished from the formation of !
seed.
It gives at the same time a dark green
color to the leaves of the plant. Tbe plants munity, especially among the young people
which are especially benefited by plaster are with whom ho bad associated for bo long a
usually those of -a very rapid growth, I. e. time. Tbe patient endurance and steady cheer
plants which naturally complete their growtb in fulness which he manifested as he was borne
a comparatively short period of time. The ' along, step by step, toward the shadowy valley,
farmer, seeing tbe large leaves and dark color was a wonder to his friends, and a consolation
p reduced by the plaster, is often led to believe beyond tbe power of language to express.
that be bas had an increased crop by its use,
wh en, in reahty, the increase is in straw only
and not In grain. Of those who have experi
mented carefully, nearly all agree in eayiug
that the leguminous crops, as clover, peas,
and beans, are greatly benefitted by the appli
cation of plaster ; wbilo oats, wheat, barley,
rye, etc., are not improved as regards grain.
Concerning corn there is a diversity of opinion,
some claiming that the yield of grain is in
creased, others that it is not. I wish tbe
farmers who read the Nobthebneb would try
this year to decide this question. After tbe
corn has commenced to grow, let each one I
treat several rows with plaster, then in the !
fall, see whether the yield of corn is greater j
by weight than in the unplastered rows. J.-J.
Woodman reports that this experiment bas !
been tried in Van Buren County, once ; but
try it again carefully and report the result of
each erperiment to us here at the college.
Plaster helps crops because it bas two sub
stances which are necessary for plant growth,
viz: sulpher and lime. It bas been found
also that it has a disintegrating influence on
the compound silicater in the soil, setting free
potash and magnesia for the use of the plant
and without which the plant cannot grow. Dr.
Kedzie is of the opinion that one of tbe most
important properties of plaster is its power of
making active the inert nitrogen of tbe vegeta
ble matter of soils. This opinion is based
upon careful and repeated experiments per
formed by himself at this place. Plaster
Bbould be applied in the spring, after plants
start to grow. It is much better to bow it
when tbe plants are wet, in tbe morning or
after a ' shower. Tbe amount used need not
exceed one hundred pounds to the acre. This
is all the crop can utilize m one eeason and any
excess ia apt to be washed from tbe soil. Hence
it ia better to sow it every year and in small
quantities. Tbe chemical composition of
plaster is such as to make it a very fixed sub
stance ; so it will not be in any way injured by
age.
Farmers often eay that plaster don't help
their land as much as it used to. This may be
because they have sown it in excess and it has
accumulated in the soil. O. E. B.
A joint meeting of delegates from the Van
Buren County and Paw Paw Valley Agricultural
Societies held a meeting at the village of Law
rence, on Saturday last, looking to tbe consoli
dation of the two organizations. Tbe follow
ing preamble and resolution was reported by a
committee and adopted by the meetiog as the
reault of tbe effort to consolidate :
Wbebeas, The agriculturists of the east and
west part of the county have a common interest,
and are influenced by a common eeutiment
involving the interests which are represented
by the two Fairs of Paw Paw and Lawrence,
and,
Whebeas, We deem tbe consolidation of tho
two Fairs at present impracticable, therefore,
Resolved, Tbat we recommend tbat the two
societies continue their efforts within their own
organizations, and counsel the representatives
of each to continue tbe same courtesies, and to
work together to the end that the best Interests
of agriculture shall be subserved, and tbat tbe
jealousies bora of former dissensions bo en
tirely overshadowed by the encouragement of
good feeling and friendly intercourse.

Last Saturday, as Mrs. J. 11. Anderson went

slipped and sprained her arm quito severely.
Dr. Maynard dressed the limb, and she is now

To-day, as Mr. Brambley, a German living
south-east of this place, and bis boy were pull

his body crushed, but for a wonder there were
no bones broken.
Tbe wheat in this section of tho country is

and farmers are rejoicing.

Tho Lowell Journal is informed that the

tbe advice of a clergyman and a few other
church people of that place, consented to strike

calls tbe devil's kindling wood, which is "cider."
We are also informed that several old toddy

the saloon closed, were allowed free access to
one of those religiously conducted cider mills
and there got beastly drunk. Guess there is

If this table of leal items is cut out and
preserved it will sometimos save tbe cost of
asking advica of lawyers, a class of montbat
farmers want to avoid as much as possible :
An agreement without a consideration is
void.
Signatures made with a lead pencil are good
in law.
A receipt for money paid is not legally con
clusive. The acts of one partner binds all tbe others.
Contracts or notes made on Sunday are void.
A contract made with a minor or a lunatic is
void.
Principles are bound by the acts of their
agents.
Agents are responsible to their employers.
In a partnership each Individual is held for
the whole debts of t'-e firm.
Notes bear interest only when bo stated.
It is not legally necessary to put into a note
the words "for value received."
A note obtained by fraud or from a person
intoxicated cannot be collected.
If a note be loet or stolen, it does not re
lease the maker.
An endorser of a note is exempt from lia
bility if not served with notice of its dishonor
within twenty-four hours after it is due.
A large share of tbe quarrels, disputes and
law-suits which afflict society arise from eome
negligenco of these simple rules of law, or from
an imperfect understanding of a verbal agree
ment. AH contracts and agreements should
be made in writing and in proper form, that is,
in such form as to expreea tbe intentions of

An oriental traveller describes this busy scene,
witnessed on biBtono shores : "Our steamer
landed on a beach which was tbe port of
Antiocb, where tbe disciples were first called
Christians. There was no town at tbe water's
edge, no people, no wharf. Tbe passengers
and tbe merchandise were put ashore in lighters,
which ran up into the sand. A troop of camels,
with their drivers, lay on the beach, ready to
transfer the goods into tbe lr tenor. Among
the articlos landed were boxes marked 'Dr. J.
C. Aver & Co., Lowell, Mass., U. S, A.,' show
ing that they contained medicines and whence
they rame. Tbene with other gr.oda were

Tbere ia no medicine that has accomphsbed
bo much as fcfHiLou's Consumption Cure. It
has established the fact tbat Consumption can
be cured, while for Asthma, Bronchitis, Croup,
Hoarseness, Whooping Cough, and all Lung
diseases it has no equal. No medicine was ever
sold on such favorable terms. If it was unreli
able it would be tbe greatest folly to guarantee
tt. It costs nothing to try it, as it can be re
turned if It does no (give satisfaction after using
two thirds of a bottle. Call at my drug store
and get a sample bottle for 10 cents or a regular
