WnLYou HAVE PicKLEs.-The foliowin!
amusing passage occurs in Miss Bremen I
I" Homes of the New World" Poor lady
Her suicrings under such prosecutions mus
have been intocrable.
"With us people can enjoy the pleasure
of conversation, and thoy need not think
about the dishes, except in 50 far as en- ioyin
them goes. Everything, with us, is done 81.
lcntlv and in due order by the attendants
/ At glance from the hostess you are offered a
second supply, but this also silently the
dishes come round to the guests, each in his
turn, and after that, people are not troubled
with them. Here it is not 50. Here there is
an inccssant asking and inviting, so that
what with asking and inviting, and selecting
and answering, there is really no time for en-
iovmcnt Of the meal much less of the convcr-
satiOn Neither is one able to help one ; self
but the host or hostess. or aunt or uncle, or
some ether polite person. or it may be the
servants, which here III the South are always
negroes, help you, and Nou seldom get just
what you wish for, or as much or as little as
you want, and not on that part of the plate
where you wished to have it You are asked
for example,
:" viii you haze the buttcr"
g Yes, thank you"
And with that comes II piece of butter on
the edge of the plate, ON which the annoying
thought always suggests itself, that it is Ger
tainly exactly where the servant put his
thumb. Then it goes ON
"Will you take fish OF meat chickens or
turkey -
=. Chickens. if YOU please
q" lave you any choice9 The breast, or
wing !"
Then comes. 'Will you have pickles -
"No, | thank YOU.
\ pause and calm ensucs for two minutes.
But then somebody On your left discovers
that YOU have no pickles. and pickles come to
you from the left. L" May help you to
pickles =
$40. thank YOU "
After few minutes more, somebody on the
right secs that you have no pickles, and
hastens to offer YOU the bottle. "Will you
not take pickles -
" No. thank you.'
- You then begin an interesting convcrsa-
tion with your next nrighbor; and just as
you are about to ask some question Of impor
tancc, u person opposite you observes that
youarc not eating pickles, and the picklc-bot-
tie comes to YOU across the table, and you are
called upon to say once more, in sclt-justilca-
ton,
"No, thank you, not any" and continue
your conversation,
But again, at the moment YOU are waiting
for some reply interesting to YOU, comes the
servant. perhaps the very best daddy in the
whole black world, and shoots the pickle
pot in between you and your convcrsablc
ncighbor. and with horror YOU again behold
pickles ready to be put upon your plate, so
that in the end YOU find yourself quite over
come by the pickle pcrsccution.'

Coop FARMING.-Mr. Waring, the Lee
Mapes realizes from the 40 acres of land which
constitute his farm, $4,000 Annually. The ex-
pense OF cultivation, manureS. interest upon
the land, Sc, amopnts 10 S40O0.-leavng a
net income o; $1,000. Of course this sum
Is not all realized from the cultivation of
common farm crops. He produces fruits and
vegetables for the New York market but
by scientific cultivation hls income Is largely
increased. For illustraiion-he obtains one
hundred loads of excellent manure with
but 10 or twelve loads Of stable manure as the
base. lie uses muck mixed with this manure,
ashes, lime and other cheap fertilizers. These,
onposted, make Just such nnnurial prepa-
ration as the soil needs and his crops are
abundant. he expense of such manure is
trtling.
We do not expect Vermont farmers to at
tain to this perfection in farming for some time
yet, but they can approximate nearer to it than
they now do. They can, with few exceptions,
and with trltllng outlay, increase their guam
tIty OF manure in a similar manner There are
but few who cannot easily obtain muck or some
sort of material of similar nature and put 1t
nt1 their barnyardS and mix ashes and other
articles with 1t and make good manure. A
few dollars expended in this way each year
would give the farmer 50 or 100 loads of ex-
rellent tertlllzlng material Repeated yearly,
the farm would increase IN its annual produc-
uon, and IN value far exceeding all eXpenses.
