to advertise ior applicants to nil tne I
position of Director, which was done. I
l hese advertisements appeared in the
Kaleigh ivetcs and Observer; in Science
and in the Nation, both of New York,
A number of applications are in the
hands of the Secretary for the consid
eration of the Board.
The Executive Committee also

board, and be has Continued the work
at the Farm as formerly.
Uur Inspector of fertilizers has dili
gently searched the Piedmont section
ot the btate, where fertilizers are sold
ia the fall, and drew samples from
twenty-seven brands of fertilizers, all
of which have been analyzed and pub
lished in the November Bulletin. This
early publication has doubtless proved
of great service to the fiirmers in buy-
ipg fertilizers for their small grain
crops; last year these analyses were not
to the public until the spring
which cSnsed some complaint. Five

1 he inspector discovered and report
ed to this department the sale or an
unlicensed brand of fertilizer at Wins
ton. Proper notice was served the
manufacturer who failed to respond by
taking out license, when I seized the
goods (nearly a; car load) and placed
the case in the hands of Messrs. Wat

place, lhe agents begged that we al

they should be settled, and Idesir the

farmers' institutes.
By the direction of the Bo:ird I have
visited a number of Farmers' Institutes
held in the State: indeed, all where it
wa3 possible for me !to attend, only
missing the one held at Lexington,
which came in conflict with an insti
tute held at Warren ton, and as it would
be impossible for me to visit each I
deemed it advisable Ao attend at War
renton,ns I had nevW been in that sec
tion of the State. At all of these In
stitutes I was pleased to find the live
liest interest manifested in all topics
pertaining to agriculture, lhe atten
dance was generally large upon these
exercises and composed of the best peo-
pie of the sections m which they were
: . ..
at . a .
held. The interest man
lfested desire
In noamre information, and was un-
abatin to the close. This was suffi
r.ien t tiroof that they deemed these
exercises very important. The essays
and lectures were of an eminently prac
tical nature and were heard with an
evident desire for improvement. They
treated upon the cultivation of clover,
the grasses and the forage crops; im
proved agriculture, dairying, stock rais
ing, &c. These institutes are of 1 sting
benefit to every section in which they
are held. I would that every county
in the State could be induced to hold
one or more in their borders, and to
this end I shall ask the co-operation bf
the farmers of the several counties in
which institutes have not been held.
It is my purpose to i organize every
county in tne &tate,j believing that it is
one of the best appointed means for the
elevation and enlightenment of the
fanner s calling.
Dr. Dabney, in a recent report, said :
"The first ones should I be held where
the home fanners takethe most inter
est in such matters and will help most
in it. As the law teads, this Boardis
merely to "assist" In holding these
institutes .by. sending its representa
tives. ; It is not desirable that the
by j; j.
IJoard s reprefentatlves "should do all
the work or-fce to prominent ia these
inee:mg3. me iucaljiaroiera should
le responsS)!eifor their ' orsrajiization
and manaffemenL" :
This policy has been in the main ad
hered to, though effort has been made
to organize institutes where none have
been heldr bnt with no success. I
have also visited all olhr catherinss
called by farmers when'in my power to
uu so. in :inis way l nave visited tne
counties of Buncombe. Catawba. Guil-
ford, Gaston, Cabarrus, Moore, Union,

The Hatch bill provides for an annual

of course come in for that amount an

of the bill would be a stupendously

had no wav to open or close the valve

of the mines, and a boy was hired to

this was not hard work, vet it required

working these levers, he saw the narfcs

open or close the valves.

lie produced a long, strong cord,?
and made one end fast to the proper
part of the engine anL the other end j
to the valve leaver Then he had the
perfect satisfaction of seeing the en
gine move off with perfect regularity of
motion, A short time after the fore
man came around and saw the boy play
ing marbles at lhe door. Looking at
the engine he saw the ingenuity of the
boy, and also the advantgeof so great
an invention. Mr. Watt then carried
out the boy's inventive genius in a
practical form, and made the steam en
gine a perfect automatic working ma-

The power loom is the invention of
a farmer boy, who had never seen or
heard of such a thing. He cut out one
with a knife, arid after he had got all
done he with great enthusiasm showed
it to his father, who at once kicked it
to pieces saving that he would have no
boy about him who would spend his
time on such foolish things. The boy
was afterward apprenticed to a black
smith, and he soon fdund that his new
master was kind and took a lively in
terest in hira. He made a loom of
what was left of the one. his father had
broken up, which he showed to his mas-
er. lhe blacksmith saw that be bad
nojcoruruon boy for an apprentice, and
that the invention was a very valuable
one.
He ira medial ty had a loom construct-
id under the supervision of the boy.' It
worked to their perfect satisfaction,
and so the blacksmith furnished the
means to maufacture the looms the boy
to receive Jialf the profit-. In about a
year the blacksmith wrote to the bov's
father that he should visit him and bring
with him a wealthy gentleman, who
was the inventor of the celebrated poor
loom. You mav able to iudse the as
tonishment of the old man when his
son was presented as the inventor, who
told him that the loom was the same
as the mode he (his father) had kick
ed to piece a year before. Exchange.
The Sharpshooter's Last Shot.
Once during the war, askirmish line,
composed maiuly of the Forty-eighth
Illinois, was thrown out in advance of
v w " ere
our array, Jying near Jackson, Miss.,
confronting Gen. Joseph Johnston.
Ihe men had constructed a few tenipo-
rary shelters by standing rails upright,
leaning against each other, the tops
being bound together. Behind one oi
these little fortresses, though in a
rather exposed position, JCapt. F. D
Stephenson, of the Forty-eighth, was
sitting on an upturned bucket,taking his
morning coffee. As he threw back his
head in drinking, a whiz w.is heard,
and a ball sped by within an inch o
h s face, directly across the eyes, taking
effect in a little dogwood tree beside
him. The captain rase quietly, and,
taking a ramrod, stuck it in the ground
ait t
si that its top would he m the space
lately occupied by his nose: he then
went behind the tree and sighted from
the bullet hole over the top of the rod.
thus ascertaining the direction taken
by the ball in its flight. Directly in
this line rose the top of a large oak,
with ereat sheets and "streamers of
southern moss hanging dependent from
its boughs.
"Boys," said Stephenson, evenly,
"our men is anions the branches of
that tree yonder. Now," taking
soldier s cap and placing it on tte end
of a knotted stick, "yon all load up,
and lav low. When I shove this hat
into view he will fire again. There's
vour chance, let drive." When all was
ready, he slowly elevated the cap unti
just in sight from the tress. A puff of
white smoke hurst from its leaves, and
the cap turned round on its stick sup
port, letting the daylight through a
large lagged hole in the crown. A
moment later six Springfield rifies
spoke from the rail pile, and a man
dropped from, the oak tree, clutching
wildly at mos and branches as he fell;
His last shot was fired. The Argo

towns where a newspaper is published,
every man should ad vt rtise in it, even
if nothing1 more than a card .stating his
name and the business he is engaged
in. It does not only pay the adver
tiser, but lets the people at a distance
know that the town in which you re
side is a prosperous community ; of
business men. As the seed is sown,
s?o the seed recompenses. Never pull
down your sign while you expect to do
business."

The President's Coachman
Albert Hawkins, a muscular colored
man, born a slave in Anne Arundel
County, MdM in his boyhood arid youth
was quite-a local celebrity of the racing L
and fashionable stables. Soon after '
thenar General Grant heard of hia
skill with horses.i He sent , for hitn
andiut him in charge of his tables.
When he became President heput him
in charge of the stablesfof the Execu
tive Mansion. President Grant always
kept ten or twelve horses,- generally
blooded and spirited. Upon one occa- -sion
while driving to attend a requiem f
mass to King Victor Emanuel under
the auspices of the Italian legation, hia .
four high-strung horses took fright
and dashed, away at a breakneck speed.
