It is absolutely impossible to raise good crops unless there be an accumulation of humus in the soil. This is not a manure but a machine; Nature's machine for unlocking tho mineral elements and converting them into plant food. A thorough and an applied knowledge of humus and its effects will add thousands of dollars annually to the value of crops grown in this county. I have made this subject a matter of study for some years and believe that 1 can assist you by writing what I know about it.

The parade about noon was a very creditable one and was far above the average. The horses and wagons were in the best of condition and presented a fine appearance. The collection of animals, while not large, was a good one. There were two rings and a platform between them where performances were going on continuously during the entertainment. There was more going on all the time than one pair of eyes could take in at once.

For fully a quarter of a century the Le of plant food in the black. It is largely composed of various acids some of which are solvents of potash, phosphorous, lime, and some of which have a powerful affinity for ammonia.

Peat is humus. Take a dry piece of it and pour an equal weight of ammonia on it. In an instance the smell of ammonia is gone. It has become "fixed" and will remain so until something else with a stronger affinity for it comes into contact with it. Take your piece of dry peat and put where a current of air passes over it.

It will soon become damp, and will also have absorbed a considerable amount of ammonia from the air. Try to raise a crop on your peat bog and you will make a rank failure of it, but mix two or throe times its weight of pure sand with it and in a year or two you will have your most fertile field. The "sour" peat, charged with ammonia, has dissolved potash, out of the sand until every element of plant growth is preseut in the new field. ou may thoroughly underdrain your at bog and yet it will always remain wet. The reason for this is that humus has the strongest kind of affinity for water.

GEO. WHITE, Warren Street, Tunkhannock. ESTABLISHED 1875. Fish for the Biver. About four million wall-eyed pike, commonly misnomered Susquehanna salmon, will be planted in the Susquehanna river by the State Fisheries Department either next week or the week following.

This will be the largest consignment of those fish ever made to Susquehanna waters and they will be healthy specimens taken from the State acquaria at Erie. Of this number 500,000 will be planted from Steelton and almost as many from New Cumberland. In all 1,500,000 will bo consigned to the Susquehanna's waters between Harrisburg and Wrightsville, while as many more will be placed in the waters between Harrisburg and Williams-port. There will be a large planting in the North Branch and in the West Branch between Willlamsport and Renova, while a large number of young fish will also be put in the waters of the Juniata. The fish will not be sent to any persons throughout the State who may apply for them, as has been done in the case of fish of other kinds, as wall-eyed pike only thrive in certain kinds of water.
