VERMONT wATC11N1Ar AND STATE JOURNAL

fancy farmers is Just so much spleen preu-
dice aud a mistaken idea in regard to the
matter. To be sure il may make us feel
little cnvious to see our new ncighbor, fresh
from some occupation in which he has acquir-
ed money, erecting nice buildings, purchasing
fine stock, improving his fields, driving a sty-
fish team, and spending his money generously,
perhaps TO us ioolisbly; but such is not the
right spirit We should strive to Danish all
such unworthy feelings, and, making the best
Of what we have, endeavor to turn all his ex-
perionces to our own advantage, and learn
from his failures as well as his successes. ~

Deep Flowing.

We are all jealous advocates of deep TIL
loge. | believe in putting on heavy double
and sometimes treble team, and thrusting in
the plow-beam deep, even when the implo-
ment is constructed with direct reference to
thorough pulyerization, to the depth Of 80 or
40 inches, provided the soil is of character
to require such deep tillage. | say to one
man, put your pillow in beam deep; aud turn
up new soil that will yield more bountiful
crop than was ever before seen on that land.
But to another farmer | say, do not pillow that
land at all, Il would be ruinous. There are
thousands of acres of excellent land in New
Jersey and other States, that should never be
disturbed with the trench pillow or the subsoil
pillow. have a small farm, which am now
cultlyatng, that | would not have plowed
with either of the above implements for half
the value Of the land, because deep and thor
ough tllagc would operate most disastrously
on the produetiveness of the soil.
am aware that these suggestions will op-
crate like bomb-shell among the advocates
Of deep blowing. But allow me to explain
this apparent duplicity by stating when to
pillow deep, when not to pillow deep, and how
to pillow deep, The productiveness of some
Of the finest farms in Central New York re.
ceived death-blow for half dozen success
i've years, simply by being plowed deep in a
wrong manner, or with an implement that did
not pulyerize the soil according to the require.
ments of that particular geological formation
of the soil and the subsoil. The peculiar
manner of blowing certain soils deep makes a
great difference in their productiyeness. On
the contrary, you may pillow other soils, with
trench plow, with Michigan sod and sub.
soil pillow, with surface soil plow followed
by subsoiler, and the more and deeper YOU
pillow the land the more bountiful will be the
crops.--S. Edlcards Todd.

The Autumnal Treatment OF Meadows
This question was sub-diyided by the Prcsi'
dent INTO separate heads
Isl. should meadows be led IN the tall
aud II so, to what extent
Mr. kimball said that from his own ex-
perionce and observation IT there was large
aftermath allowed to stand during the winter
the crop OF grass the next season would not
be as large It the aftermath was cut close
Tie also objected to the feeding OF horses and
sheep IN meadows for the reason that they
feed very close and thus destroy the bulbs oil
the grass. \ short aftermath enough to
protect the ground nom the hot sun and blast
mg' ought to be lctt. Tie thought, as gene.
raj thing that farmers were too prone to feed
their meadows too much Nomeadow should
be pastured
The President remarked that in Austria
they moved thelr clover three Times ana lei'
the aftermath.
Mr. Moses Hayward was OF the same opln-
ION as Mr. himball III regard to leaving a
short aftermath ana that meadow ought
not to be pastured close.
As to which was the most profitable wheth-
er to feed out hay to stock during the fall or
to allow the meadows to be led close, IT was
the unanimous opinion OF all the Club, that
II was Tar more profitable to iefd out hay.
ms brought the Olub to the second ques-
uon' VIZ -
AS 70 meauoWs' close ieeding being settled
what treatment ought they to receive IN or
deT TO make them bear heavier grass
II was thought that meadows did not need
much OF any treatment until they showed
signs OF deterlorahng.
but tue Cluo was OF the opinion that when
ever from any cause winter approaches and
the grass needed some protectlon-the after
math not beng OF sufficient hight, then there
should be top-dressing. The best top-dres.
sing Tor meadows IN the tall was well rotted
stablc manure or compost.
Mr.. hlmbalI SAID he would not apply top
dressing on hllly piece OF ground late IN
the iall but, as general thing the sooner
you put 1t ON alter the crop Is cut the better
Tor whlle the top-dressing Is ON the ground
cattle Will not feed enough to destroy the
bulbs OF the grass.
"a. what top-dressing Is best
Mr.. kimball-Any kind of coarse manur,
Tor low lana Tor high lands compost com
posed OF muck, ashes, etc.
Mr.. Hayward uses line manure, and thought

The Athennum thus records what must
have been pleasant stroll to Mr.. Longfellow
4" Accompanied by Mr.. Charles Kent, the
poet Whose stirring lines of welcome have
been commonly assigned to Professor Kings
ley and MIR. Charles Knight, Mr.. Longfellow
spent a couple of hours, on Friday last week,
in visiting the Temple Gardens and the Tenn
pie Church. Mr.. Longfelow has been four
times in England; but this visit was the first
he had ever paid to the spot in London about
which, with one exception perhaps, the mem
cries Of all the men of English blood most de-
light to linger Turning out of Fleet Street
the American poet found himself suddenly in
an ancient and familiar place standing on the
very spot where Plantagenet and Somerset
babe their followers pluck the red rose and
the white rose,--near the old mulberry tree,
still in green leaf, under which Bluff Harry
courted Anne Boleyn,-close by the river ter
race Of Essex House, on which Shakespeare
and Southampton loved to walk, and on which
still blooms the purple vine Ia cutting from
which has been sent to Shakespeare House,
at Stratford on yon),-beneath the old syca-

under which Goldsmith and johnson used to
sit and chat,-and over the great stone out
side the Temple porch on which you read
Here lies Oliver Goldsmith The church
the libraries, the halls, the fountains, and the
gardens,--all were visited in turn by the

The Dirtiest Ledger Yet.

There was philosophy as well as hospitality
In the reflection Of the landlord in New Jersey
to whom a singular specimen Of humanity ap-
plied one night for lodging. It would have
been Christianity to have taken him aud wash
Cd bim-besides saving some subsequent trou-
be.
The customer was a gauut six-footer, SpPar-
antly a great stranger 70 soap and water, and
carrying a bundle of soiled linen under either
arm. Stepping up to the bar, he accOstei the
proprietor Be you the landlord here -
"W Well, I rather think an" replied Boniface.
" Can put up here tonight Look here,
stranger, how old are your "Thirty-siz
years" well if Providence has put up
with such pile Of filth as you are tbirty-siE
years, feel it my duty to try and bear with
You nenightT
The stranger is supposed to have remained
al night, as the landlord WAS seen busiy en-
gagged early the next morning airing his bed
ding and fumigating his house.
