yation has not been limited Where

mate, soil of surprising fertility, noun
tains laden with mineral wealth streams
and rivuets upon every hand whose new

sufficient to dot the country over with
Manchesters and Lowells, and then bear
off upon their bosom, the prodact of their

These are but someSf the natural advan-

the railroads completed and in course of
construction that cross our mountains and
traverse our valleys, nor yet to the many
pixies that thread the country in every di-
rection Our object has been only to call
attention to facts that cannot be gainsaid
that cur people may properly appreciate
their heritage, and stimulate them to re-
aewed exertions. Energy and capital are
alone wanting to make the Shenandoah
Valley the garden spot of America.

Here Again.

Chicago and Milwaukee wholesale
merchants are sending out circulars to
their customers, the retail merchants
of the country, with the above head
ing and are directing their country
patrons as follows:
Read it to the farmers who trade
with you to make them understand how
you are talked to, use its influence to
induce them to sell their rheat and gre
you your dues.
Then here comes the talking to-
which the retailer gets from his whole
saler:
We are again hearing from all quar-
ters, the old, old story. Farmers are
holding grain for higher prices. Last
years experience is too sooE forgotten.
Because farmer is good, is no reason
at all for his letting his store debts run
along months after they should have
been paid. What do farmers seem to
care tor the anxiety and distress they
cause a merchant by not paying him
his dues Why should merchants be
so tender of the farmer that they allow
him to bring them to as near rum as IS
possible and live through, and only to
humor the farmers in their idea OF such
large advances in wheat soon? Every
year it is getting worse. and it must
be stopped sometime, then why not
now? Ii farmers will not sell wheat
enough to pay you what they owe you,
sue them and bring them to realize that
they are not the only people who have
any rights that ought to be respected.
We cannot allow this rs al excuse
for your letting your account with us
60 unpaid any longer. You owe us
money and the farmers owe you, so
that virtually it is or money, that the
farmers refuse to pay, and we cant al
low such to be the ease any longer
We state the sentiment OF the entire
wholesale trade when we state these
truths. We canno., ought not, WILL NOT
allow our IN oney to be locked up by
the foolish whim of the farmer.

/ flock to one half, or more than one
halt would be better But how is this
reduction to be made without loss? l
| answer that, If tho first cost of the
flock was more than tho present val
| uc, it cannot be done; but there is the
choice Of losing now or of keeping on
increasing the flock and making a
greater loss hereafter. But the loss
! in numbers should be made up by an
increase IN the size of the remainder
of the flock. Raising market lambs
in connection with the raising of fine
wool is paying business. But the
sheep OF Vermont, as 4 general rule,
are too large in numbers and too small
in size. \ single cross with the Cots
void of large growth will very much
increase their weight and produce a
sheep well adapted to raising wool and
market lambs.
But all at once, while the breeders
OF fine wooded sheep arc making ar
rangements to change their tlocks
somewhat, to meet demand for long
wool, the merchants of Boston send j.
petition TO Congress for the re-estab-
llshment of the Canadian reciprocity
treaty. Farmers should oppose this
measure, as they are perfectly able to
supply our manufacturers with coarse
wool, and will soon do so at fair prices,
if they are allowed fair chance.

Way Orchards Decay.

A correspondent Of the Val
ley Farmer says orchards have
died or become poor from these
causes:
l. The exhaustion Of the soil
from constant crops Of apples;
from the blowing away by the
wind Of the leaves Of the tree
which nature assigned to feed
the soil on which the tree
stands; by crops Of grass, grain
or roots constantly taken from
the same ground; and little re-
turn of substance to it.
2. Another means of their
dcstru ction had been in whip
ping the trees with poles to re-
move their apples. And still an
other cause was the pasturage
Of cattle among them.
3. 70 restore them, if any
were left worth restoring, men
must cease to crop the ground
under them. and must manure
them with vegetable mold, de-
cayed leaves, wood lime, ashes
and salt. A compost formed OF
these substances would be eX-
cellent; or one formed in part
by scapsuds and refuse Stops,
chip dirt, turf, &c.,-well rot
ted.
Then trim them in the month
Of June of all dead limbs, and OF
those that cross and gall each
other, and of all suckers that
feed upon TRUNK or limbs, not
necessary for a top.
