THE CRANBERRY CROP.

The cash value of the cranberry crop in
the United Stales, according to statistics, has
been estimated as follows:
In 1870 Name produced 1000 barrels,
Massachusetts 5000, Connecticut 200O, New
Jersey 10000 This amount of 61.O00
barrels was raised principally from cutivat-
ed fields. AT nineteen stations on the st.
Paul aud Milwaukee railroad 1885 bar
rcls were freigh,ed during the season of
1869. Only about 5000 barrels were shipped
in 1868. The crop of 1867 was estimated
at 62,5OO barrels of which New Jersey pre-.
duced $4,000, New England 10000, and
the West $4,000 barrels. The average
price per barrel for the season of 1867 was
SIG, giving total of sl,00O,OOO.

AMARANTHUs sALIcIFoLIUs.

B. l.. Blair, editor OF the horticultural
department of the Iowa Homestead, says of
this new ornamental plant:
This plant WAS sent out last season by the
English florists with great flourish of trum
pets, sounding high the praise of ITS wondrous
beauty. Seeds were sold in this country at
n high price for small parcel-say ten seeds
for fifty cents. All who bought aud planted
naturally expected to see something beautiful
grown; hut disappointment comes with this
AS often with other high-priced novelties
Have tried it in the open ground, in pots. IN
shade and IN full exposure to the sun, and in
each instance the plant amounts tn SIMPLY
nothing. In the sunshine il grew three
inches high, then withcrcd and dried up. By
dint of cOaNing and keeping in pot shaded
II grew about ten inches but presented moth
ing of the beautiful appearance claimed for
It. Possibly II may do better in "A climate
not so hot rs ours, OF in the moist, warm at
mosphere Oi n green house in winter hut as
only few people possess the latter requisite,
II Is not the plant for general cultivation.
This is utterly at variance with the expe-
rience Of cultivators in this vicinity, where
1t has been grown with universal success, and
is highly and deservcdy admired Mr.. Al.
fred Parker, Hon. Horace Fairbanks gardener,
exhibited plant at the state fair which was
seven and half feet in height and ten feet
around the branches with stem six inches
in circumference. The seeds we're sown in a
pot in the greenhouse, in March, came up
well, and grew slowly for a while Mr.. Par
ker then pOtted them separately, and they
soon began to grow with surprising rapidity.
He has now about dozen specimens, nearly
as fine as the one shown at the fair. Some
OF them have been kept under glass all sum-
mer, Others upon the verandah, and others
still in the open ground; and they have
done equally we'll in every place No one
can see these fine plants without being struck
with their graceful habit of growth, their
long, pendulous, and beautifully waved and
crinkled foliage, as well as the striking and
finely variegated colors Of the whole plant.
The stems are dark red with fine polish,
the leaves at the tips of the main stem aud
branches form plumes of mixed crimson,
yellow and green, very clear and vivid in
ooloration always, but varying in shade and
tint with the degree of exposure to direct
sunlight. The older leaves are m9ttled led
and green, growing darker and somewhat
duler with age, but never shabby or un-
pleasing in hue. So far Is this plant from
requiring cool atmosphere and shelter from
the SUM- that MIR. Parker's plants did not
begin to grow rapidly until warm weather
began, and those that have had the most sun
have grown the best and exhibited their de-
sirable characteristics the most satisfactory
ly, Altogether, We pronounce the "fountain
plant decided success, and valuable adj
dition to our list Of ornamental plants for
either indoor or outdoor decoration.

best ior him to improve his with. As
matter Of course they are decided improve
meut on common stock, although not as much
80 as the Shorthorns.
The advantage that is to pc claimed in IA
vor Of the Devon Of the men of limited
means, is the saving in the amount Of capial
that has to be invested in Devon. Take
farmer, for instance, with 25 common cows.
who wishes to procure pure bred bull to
cross with that number of cows he can pur.
chase good, pure bred Devon bull for $3.50
or 5000, while, if he wishes to get good,
pure bred Shorthorn, with good pedigree, he
will have to pay s400 or $500. Now, l
claim that if the farmer can afford to pay
the S40O or 500 for the Shorthorn, he will
make the most money; just on the same
principle us a man that puts $500 out at in
terest will make more money than one that
only puts out 5000. Twenty-Five head Of
common steers at three years of age, will, IL
in good order, at the present time, bring
per pound in the Chicago market and will If
fair, good ones, weigh perhaps 600 lbs
live weight, being $40 each. or $1,000 for
the lot. Now am positive that a lot of 25
good grade steers out Of the same COW got by
Shorthorn bull that would cost s40O. would
weight at three years of age at least l,450
lbs, and If the common 1000 10. steers
brought four cents per ID. the grades would
bring at least five cents That would make
sl,Sl2,50 for the lot, or $3.50 each,
showing profit of 1921 so in favor of the
grades. That is, think, pretty good inter-
est on the S400 invested for the bull. Ii
would of course take about four years to
get this amount of money back
| do not claim that quite as good results
as the above could be obtained by a cross
with a.s200 Devon bull, but | am satisfied
than he would do much more than clear him |
self in three years, and if allowed to run at
large summer and winter, will be more profit
able than the Shorthorn, but neither or them
will be very profitable if let run out in win
ter, and the profit in favor Devon would be
in there being only 5000 invested against
S4OO in the Shorthorn. am satisfi ed that
a No bull of each of these breeds could be |
procured for the above price.
But l am getting too long, aud occup ying
too much space in the columns Of this valua-
BILE Journal. In conclusion, let me say, that
fhe great objection of most farmers to i'm.
proving their stock with thorough bred
bull, is, that they all think such bull re-
quires more feed and care than they can be-
stow. This is all a mistake, and will, in
the next number ofthe Journal, give few
to the farmers of the West, low
think bull should be kept, aud used, ans$
endeavor to show how simple and easy a
thing it is,--Cor. Io,oa Farmers Journal.

Stock Raising.
SHORT HORNS AND OEvOES-
WHICH ARE PREFERABLE2

Much has been written and said on this
subject by practical and theoretical men
and volume upon volume might be written
on the subject aud it would be no nearer set :
tied in the minds Of some, than it is now, or
was one hnudrdd years ago Each breed
will still have Its earnest advocates. | ad-
init that | am somewhat prejudiced in favor
OF the Short Horns. but not squite so much
as some men are 1t must be admitted by
all that each breed has its good aud bad quail
tiles.
But let it be fully impressed on the mind
of every breeder Of stock that his individual |
success does not by any means depend upon
his showing that his neighbor's breed of stock
is inferior to his own
Such course, il pursued for any length
of time, will ultimately result in ruin and
disappointment, just the same as it would TO
the editor of an agricultural Journal that
would attempt to blackmail his contempora.
ry.
The question should be put in a somewhat
different light than merely (Which is the
best breed ?" 1t might be put thus What
breed is best adapted to my means, particular
locality, and purpose Devons are claimed
to be best adapted for dairy purposes. while
the Short Horns have the preference for
beef purposes. Throughout all our highly
cultivated states, think that the Short
Horns or their grades are the most profitable
breed Of cattle for all wel-to.do farmers /;
that is, farmers, that can provide for their
food and comfort throughout the cold winter
months. On the other hand, where the soil
is somewhat barren and urproductiye,
think that the Devons will be found to be
the best paying cattle not that they require
less food or care than the Short Horns, for it
is an established fact that both breeds will do
as we'll, if not better, than the common
stock if they are all aloud to rough it to-
gether summer and winter. But | am con-
vinced that the day Is past when any farmer
can make catte-raising profitable, who can
not give them food and shelter in winter.
However, there are, perhaps fifty per cent.
of our western farmers that have not the
means to give their stock the proper shelter
and forage in winter. Now, to this class Of
men would decidedly say, the Devon is the

WESTERN NEW YORK BUTTER
MAKERS.

The August meeting of this Association
was held on the 18th, at Sherman. N. Y.
The usual preliminary discussion on the SUBJ
iect Of the last meeting took place, this sub.
iect being " The Best Breed Of Cattle for
Dairy Purposes"
ii. l.. Hendricks, of Sherman, said that
here are no thoroughbred cattle Of any breed
"a that town, the best cattle being grade
ShOrthorns and Devons. He likes their
Graded stock, but thinks it possible that they
nay be inferior to some thoroughbreds. He
links that Ayrshires now stand the highest
s dairy breed, and is intending to infuse
hat blood into his dairy, expecting to find it
profitable operation
Samuel Hall, Of Nina, said it is of the
'reatest Importance to dairymen to know
hat breed is the best, taking all things into
"onslderation. His best mixers are grade
Shorthorns, but he does not want them over

A SIMPLE METHOD OF PREPARING
SKELETON LEAVES.

A correspondent of Science Gossip, after
referring to the tediousness of the ordinary
way of preparing skeleton leaves, which IS
enough almost to tax the patienc eof Job,
and which most experimeuters give up in de-
spair before getting through with it, describes
a new method, which is easy, cleanly and
takes but little time. 1t is as follows =
First dissolve four ounces of common
washing soda in quart of boiling water,
then add two ounces ofslaked quicklime, and
boil for about fifteen minutes. Allow this
solution to cool afterwards pour off all the
clear liquor into a clean saucepan. When
the solution is at bOling-point, place the leaf
carefully in the pan, and boil the whole to-
gether for an hour. Boiling water ought to
be added occasiOnly, but sufficient only to
replace that lost by evaporation. The epi.
derms and parenchyma Of some leaves will
more readily separate than others. A good
test is to try the leaves after they have been
gently boiling for about an hour, and if the
cellular matter does not easily rub off be-
twixt the finger and thumb beneath cold wa
ter, boil them again for short time. When
the hcshy matter is found to be sufficiently
sOftened, rub them separately but very gently
beDeath cold water until the perfect skeleton
is exposed. The skeletons at first are of
dirty-white color; to make them of pure
white, and therefore more beautiful, all that
is necessary is to bleach them in a weak So
luton of chloride of lime. l have found
the best solution is a large teaspoonfu of
chloride Of lime to quart of water if
few drops Of vinegar are added to the bleach
ing solution, it is all the better, for then the
chlorine is liberated. DO not allow them to
remain too long in the bleaching liquor, or
they become too brittle, and cannot after
wards be handled without injury. About
fifteen minutes is sufficient to make them
white aud clean.looking. Dry the specimens
in white blotting paper, beneath a gentle
pressure, after they are bleached.
"simple leaves are the best for young be.
gnners to experiment upon the vine, pop
lar, beech aud ivy leaves make excellent
skeletons, Care must be exercised in the se-
lection of leaves, as we'll as the period of the
year and the state of the atmosphere when
the specimens are collected, otherwise failure
will be the result. The best months to gath
er ths specimens are July aud August New
er collect specimens in damp weather and
none hut perfectly matured leaves ought to
be selected"

PRACTICAL" FEMALE EDUCA-
TON.

We. have been much interested in the re-
ports of the operations Of mechanics insti-
tutes and kindred societies for mutual inn
provoment established among the laboring
classes in England. In the matter of femi-
nine education, the managers of these associ-
ations appear to be in advance of the age.
Their plan Of training is intended to have a
direct and practical bearing upon the future
position aud duties of the students. With
this view they have established compre-
hensive elementary examination, comprising
the following subjects =
L. Arithmetic, including household ao-
counts
2. Grammar and Composition.
3. Sewing and Cutting Out
There is also an examination in domestic
ecouomy," which was instituted with the
purpose of encouraging the acquisition of
sound information upon subjects directly af-
fecting the home and everyday life of the
female candidates. The character Of the ex-
animation, and the close relation Of its SUBJ
ject to domestic life, will be collected from
the following extracts from the questions
proposed at the last examination by Miss
Jewsbury, who conducted it -
l. State the best method of using up bones
and scraps of meat and bread.
q Would you'prefer to use an earthen ves-
sci, or tin or iron pot to set in your oven
or on the hob, to stew any scraps. of meat,
bones, and bread that you may have land
state the advantage of keeping such stock
pot continually going.
3. How would you lay out los. in the
town, if you had a sick husband, and four
children too young to work 2--or how, ifyou
lived in the country, with small garden,
would you lay out Is. Cd. under the same cir
cumstances
4. Suggest some savory and economical
dinner for husband, wife, and five children.
g. Suggest some savory and economical
supper for husband coming home after
hard days work.

KILLING LICE ON CABBAGE.

since on which the entire crop of cabbages
were being destroyed by lice. One ranch

eiecting the object. We find the following

predictions on the agricultural fair in Rut.

animate it, would probably have taken as
little thought, and perhaps cared less, for it's
effect Be this as it may, the twenty-sev-
enth annual fair of the Rutland County Ag-
ricultural Society has been held under pecu-
l'ary depressing circumstances, as regards
the weather. Thursday, the third day,
opened, if possible, wetter, colder drearier
and rainier than ever, and it was the more
noticeable on account of the fine weather Of.
Wednesday. Notwithstanding the rain,
however, the programme of the day was car.
ried out, and the number in attendance was
much larger than was anticipated. There
was nothing, however, that occurred during
the day, calling for general remark, except
the good order and quietude of the people
in attendance.
The Races.
The double team race was postponed till
afternoon, ON account Of the rain. Messrs.
DR., Goldsmith z. Nearing, Henry Noble,
Woodruff, aud Hulett acted as judges in this
and the following race. This race was for a
purse of fifty dollars, and three entries were
made, namely, by Messrs. Brown, of Claren.
don, and Engrem and Parker, of Rutland.
The race was won by Parker in two straight
heats the other horses being withdrawn
on the second neat. Time not given.
For the sweepstakes two entries were
made Dan, by j. s. Kiuner, and Hurri.

This singular looking plant is highly re-

basket plant. Its angular foliage is dense,
of good color and free growth, as well as at
traotivs from its novelty.
