clean a condition as possible. Farmers
who do not attend to this lose consider
ably in price, for although dirt weighs,
and of course is paid for, yet the rednc-
ton in price of the sample is not near
compensated for by the weight of the
dirt. During the present season there
is much complaint of the unclean con-
tlition of wheat. Farmers are, gcner-
ally speaking, wise people, and word

Think MoSESr.-Orange G.. II. can
never become place of much trade-it |
hasn't the back country. 1t can never |
be manufacturing town, because ii |
hasn't the watcr-power. nor has the |
county materials to be manufactured |
by steam. But it may become the sum
mcr residence of many wealthy flmi- !
lies from the great cities. 1t is so |
healthful and beautiful and accessible |
that 1t ought to be the sea. of flourish
ing male and female Schools. Let us |
then do all in our power to improve it,
beautify it and make it attractive. tits
our only chance.
