That Line Fence.

Old farmer Smith came home in a milf
From his field the other day.
While his sweet little wife, the pride of his life,
At her wheel was spinning away.
And ever anon, a gay little song
With the buzz of her wheel kept time;
And the wrathful brow is clearing now,
Under the cheerful rhyme.
Come, come. little Turk put away your work
And listen TO what say
What can / do but n quarrel brew
With the man across the way!
II have built mn fence. but he won't commence
To lay single rail
His cattle get in, and the feed gets thin.
am tempted TO make a sale!
why, John. dear John. how you do go on
I'm afraid it will be as they say"
mo, no. little wife. have found that strife
In lawyers hand don't pay.
He is picking flaw to drive me to law,
have heard that he said he would
And you know, long ago. law wronged me SO.
L vowed never should.
$50 what can do that l will not rue,
To the man across the way
IF that's what you want, | can help you haunt
That man with a specter gray!
Thirty dollars will do to carry you through,
And then you have gained a neighbor;
1t would cost you more to peep in the door
Of a court, and much more labor.
Just use good sense-let's JuH him fence,
And shame such thoughts out of the fello."
They built up his part, and sent to his heart
Loves dart, where the good mellow.
That very same night by the candle-light.
They opened, with interest. a letter;
Not n word was there, but three greenbacks
Said the man was growing better.

Thinning Out Fruit.

1t may be considered somewhat early
to make suggestions on the subject of
thinning out fruit, but it can never be
too early to give good advice and we
think, as pear and peach trees are be-
ginning to show their product, the thin
ming out process may be begun at al
most any time.
1t is true the operation can be per-
formed conveniently only upon such
trees that are not over large. But it
should be especially attended to in
young trees, which frequently over-bear,
to the great injury of the health of the
trees as well as the quality of the fruit.
To obtain the finest specimens, they
should not be allowed to grow in clus-
tiers or in contact with each other, and
all that exhibit the least imperfection
should be removed. What is lost in
number will be doubly made up in size
and flavor. This should be remem-
bered. Many persons regard the thin
ning-out Of peaches, pears and apples
as so much loss; but they are not judges
of fruit, and have no knowledge of its
proper culture. They want as large a
crop as possible, letting the quality take
care of itself, no matter how much the
tree is damaged and what effect it may
have on next years crop.
On some of our own pear trees last
year we removed three-iourths of the
entire crop. and afterward found the
tree to contain more than was advis-
able. We counted yesterday on one
small dwarf tree on our premises, 1874
well-set pears, of which we shall not
allow more than one dozen to remain
1t goes hard with some people to
diminish the quantity of fruit upon
their trees. Sometimes they plead
want of time but this is not admissi-
bic, for if they have not time to attend
to the proper cultivation of fruit they
should abandon it altogether. The real
cause is their greediness. You can't
make them believe that they are the
gamers by destroying a portion of the
crop, saying that nature is the best
Judge as to the quantity Of fruit. Such
persons have no practical knowledge OF
Embarrassing, and the sooner they give il
up the better it will be for them, THEN

Communication by Steam between Eu.
rope and the United States.

The communication by steam between
Europe and the United States surpasses
the most sanguine expectations. 1t was
first monthly it then became weekly
and semi-weekly, and now there are
eight regular companies established,
which own LOG steamers, making about
six hundred round trips per annum.
During the last year they made $50
round trips, carrying 302, las passengers
and 100000 tons OF merchandise.
The Cunard Line has twenty-four
steamers, v it'll capacity of $4,000 tons.
Its steamers made l25 round trips last
year. They carried 55,l0l passengers,
1861 from Liverpo0 and II ,420 from
New York and Boston.
The Anchor Line, which runs between
Glasgow and New York, has twenty
eight steamers of from 200 to 1000
tons each. In 1870 they made l02 trips
from New York to Glasgow, and l03
from Glasgow to New York. They car
ried 800 tons at an average every trip.
They brought 81 ,437 passengers to the
United States and took over to Europe
from here S,139.
The Hamburg American Pac ;et Com.
New York, and touches Havre, Cher
bourg and Plymouth. 1t has seven
steamers of from 5000 to $500 tons
each. Its business was interrupted to
certain extent by the war, and yet it
transported $4,000 tons of merchandise
and 20,093 passengers.
The General Transatlantic Society
steamers. They mace twenty-five trips
between New York and Havre four
round trips in 1870, carrying 1920 cabin
passengers. After the outbreak of the
war its steamers were principally used
for the transportation of arms, ammu-
milton and provisions from the United
States to France.
The National Steamship Company
runs between Liverpool and New York.
81, 64l tons. In 1870 its vessels made
sixty-four round trips. They carried
43, l52 passengers and 369, l45 tons.
The eight steamers of the Williams
and Guion Line run between Liverpool
and New York. They made fifty.fve
round trips in 1870, carrying "a, 1928 pas
sengers and l50,293 tons of merchan-
disc.
The Inman Line has thirteen steam
ers running between Liverpool and New
York. They made eighty-nine round
trips in 1870, carrying $4,000 passengers
and about 10000 tons OF goods.
The North German Lloyd runs its
twelve steamers between Bremen and
New York, touching at southampton.
1t makes two round trips every
week. It's vessels have capacity of
5000 tons each. They made So round
trips in 1870, carrying 35,3l9 passen-
gers. The war caused considerable dam
age to the company and prevented it
from making at least forty trims.

prints of inheritance to the colts.
Heaves, spavins, ring-bones and constr
tutional blindness are hereditary de.
fects. and if they exist in the breed
may transmit through an apparently
sound stallion to the third and fourth
generation of his descendants. Condi-
ton implies health and strength, when
counteracts many defects hereditary OF
ACQUIRED. Active strength and great
physical power are the controlling ele-
ments in propagation. They will over
come hereditary disposition and stamp
their impress IN sound joints, clear
wind and q vigorous constitution.
Weakness cannot exist or transmit
through strength its mortal antagonist.
The best get of most celebrated stall.
lions have been dropped at an advanced
age, but before they had lost their
strength and vigor. Diomed was ~
when he begat his best son, Sir Archy.
He was still farther advanced when he
sired the famous Duroc. Boston was
aged when he sired the world-renowned
Lexington. Nearly all the most dis
tinguished progenitors have become
aged or extinct before their colts have
been developed, brought out, exhibited,
and fully appreciated by the rublic.
So that the merits of stations, like the
virtues of great men, are seldom discov-
cred till after they are dead. Messen-
ger is a striking example of stallion
neglected while living to become re-
yered when dead. He was considered,
while living, unworthy OF many good
mares, and was peddled round the
country to worthless jades at a mere
nominal price. Now one-sixteenth part
of his blood flowing in the veins OF a
breed which will cover the best Of his
descendants, is treasured up as pre-
cious inheritance.

A Raphael Sold for $4,000.

A Florence correspondent of the PaH
Mall Gazette gives some particulars of
the recent sale of Raphael's " Madonna
del Libro," long one of the chief attrac-
tons of the city of Perugia for the artist
and connoisseur This diminutive paint
ing, measuring only seventeen centime-
ters in diameter and known likewise
under the denomination of " Madonna
Iii Casa Constable" from the name of
its possessor, Marchese Constable, is
the fifty-second Raphael which has been
disposed of to foreign purchasers out of
eighty-three which Italy formerly pos
sessed. The Empress of Russia, desir-
ing to present this picture to her con.
sort on his birthday, made the Marchese
Clan Carlo Constable an offer of 32O,-
600 francs for it. Like many ether Ital-
ian noblemen of the present day, the
possessor of this gem-a well-known
Etruscan SCHOLARS endowed with II
personal fortune far from adequate to
the position he has inherited, and
therefore lent no unwilling ear to the
tempting offer. Nevertheless, being
anxious, if possible, to preserve his
treasure within the limits of his native
country, he requested twenty-tour
hours reflection time, and Immediately
communicated to the town council of
Perugia the intelligence of the proposal
made to him, and his desire that the
town itself should have the preference,
at the same time offering to sell it in
this case at Il reduction 10000 francs.
The council, after deliberation, how
ever, declared their inability to meet
even this demand, upon which Mar
cheese Constable, after a good deal of
difficulty, obtained another forty-eight
hours for consideration, and made use
of this time to offer his picture to the
State for 100000 francs, IN order that
the Italian Government might have the
preference before foreign purchaser.
Correnta, the Minister of Public In
struction, who is at loss to provide a
thousand francs for a poor schoolmas-
ter, had no sum approaching to this to
dispose of in favor of work of art.
His colleagues, although ready to con.
tribute from their own funds as much
as they could pc sibly afford, were una
bic, with all their efforts, to reach the
modest sum of 10000 francs, let alone
100000 francs, which it would be i'm.
possible to demand from Parliament.
there being no time allowed the Minis
ter for doing so, and not the remotest
chance of its being granted. So the EN-
press got the picture after all.

SOiling Cows.

The Hon. Harris Lewis, of Herkimer
county, read very interesting paper on
the subject of soiling COWS in connec-
ton with pasturage at the late meeting
of the American Dairvmen's Associa-
ton. held at Utica. y. Y, in which he
stated that in an experience as a dairy
man for thirty six years, his record
showed that during that period there
were - only eight seasons in which the
rainfall had been in sufficient quantity
and sufficiently often to induce a con-
tinuous growth Of grass from spring
until fall" He recommended irriga-
ton, understanding. and thorough cul
tivation to alleviate the effects of drouth
He recommended orchard grass for soil
ing purposes, and spoke highly of
lucerne for the same purpose. Corn"
he said, "although general favorite
with dairymen for soiling, regard as
worthless, its cost in most cases exceed
ing its actual value" This remark led
to a spirited discussion, and the follow
ing resolution was offered and passed
almost unanimously:
R6Solred, That this convention is of
the opinion that corn is a valuable pro-
duct for the dairy farm, and that we
recommend it as forage crop.

Uniform Seed Grain.

There is more or less variation in the
ripening of grain; some will mature
earlier than others. This is generally
seen, and it is an error. There should
be uniformity in growing as well rs
ripening grain, as the earliest ripened
is apt to be lost-that is, the earliest
heads; they are apt to become over
ripe, and thus shell out and drop to the
ground, or " knock down before the
crop is gathered. There are various
causes which contribute to this; one is,
the disposition or habit of some seed TO
mature earlier than others. 1t is ON
this account that we select the earliest
ripe seed, as well as the soundest, for
planting and sowing. This habit IS
found, more or less, among all gram.
A selection Of the best. the earliest
heads is a good way to start. If but a
few quarts are gathered in this way, it
will yield sufficient seed next year, and
the grain will be uniform after that.
These best and earliest heads grow the
better crops, as all the seed. in such
case, is good and free from weeds.
Sown on a clean soil early in the year,
there will be a clean. uniform crop-all
the heavier for the treatment, and with
out waste. The surface should also be
level, and the seed got in with uniform
depth. This last is highly important.
We should begin with pure article
and clean, thorough culture, and renew
as occasion requires.
