The Cranberry interest OF VI.coI sin.

For commercial value | consider our
cranberry fields as equal to any fruit inter
est in our country. Peach or grape cul-
ture for commercial purp 'scs as compared
with or, nberries, Is disappointing and un-
satisfactory. Being so perlshaOle, they
must be hurrriedly and wastciuily market
ed, and a day OF delay or unfavorable
weather often causes heavy loss; while the
cranberries can be barreled and leisurelv
transported thousands Of miles to the most
favorable market. Increased value is Civ
en- 10 these fields from the fact that they
are go limited as compared with the area
to be supplied with fruit, thus making a
ready market and good prices always Il Ger
:ainty. About this there is now nothing
probiematinl or uncertain. Fields properly
improved, 50 as to flow and drain we'll,
have for many years yielded good annual
crops. Ten to twelve hundred barrels
from forty acres, is no unusual Weld, and
sometimes as high as two hundred bushels
are gathered from single acre. Of such
lands we have thousands of acres, much
OF it easily accessible by railroads, most of
it unimproved and waiting for purchasers.
How long can we afford To leave such re-
sources as these undeyelopei? How long
VII individual enterprise neglect to grasp
such golden opportunities?
Give this interest ten years of such en-
thusiastic efforts as have been given to the
,ruit district Of southern Illinois, or the
peach belt of Michigan, aud what would be
the result Can any thinking man doubt
that our exports would double, yea, quad
ripple the exports OF either of these districts?

The following amusing description, by
John Phoenix, of a new idea in artillery
was evidently suggested by the mounted
howtzcrS used in the Abyssinian war:
"Out III certain western fort, some
time ago, the Major conceived the idea
that artillery might be used effectively in
fighting with the Indians by dispensing
with carriages, and fastening the can
non upon backs Of mules. So he explained
his views to the commantant, and it Vas
determined to try the experiment. \
howitzer was selected and strapped upon
an ambulance mule, with the muzzle pGin.-
ing toward the tail. When thew lad Sc
cured the gun, and loaded it with hall-car-
fridge, they led that cain and stcadi..st
mule out on the biuG and sci no :. t..~get

Clean AbleJ.

We were once told by a resident Of thi.
city that farming was coarse, filthy work.
There was a foundation of truth in his re-
mark, and yet no employment need be
cleaner or more refined. In this the ma
ture of the individual is clearly shown. A
farmer may not lay claim 20 any peculiar
neatness in his farm operations, and yet it
is very certain that his barn-yard and sta
bles E,ay not be SO offensive TO the sense AZ
many city yards and streets are. Care and
attention more than hard work are neces-
s.ry to keep tarmsted sweet and free
from disagreeable scents.

How to Use n g. must ono.

1st.-Don't waste the stone by running
it in water; but if you d., don't allow it to
stand IN water wnen rot in use, as this will
cause soft place.
2d.-Wet the stone by dropping water
on it from pot suspended above the
stone, and stop off the water when not in
use.
3d.-Don't allow the stone to get out Of
order, but keep it perfectly round by use Of
gas pipe, or hacker.
4th.-Clean of all greasy tools before
sharpening, as grease or oil destroys the
grit.
5th.-Obscrve: When you get stone
that suits your purpose, send sample of
the grit to the dealer to select by; a half
ounce sample is enough, and can be sent
in a letter by mail.-Franklin Journal.
