bred animal for breeding purposes.
The census returns for 1870 give for the
four leading crops, namely, potatoes, corn,
wheat and oats, over one billion bushels.
An annual increase on the above of ten
per cent, and the product sold for an
average price of fifty cents per bushel,
would give over seventy-five million dol
lars. l have no doubt but by getting the
best varieties, and by careful selection of
seed. the above increase might be more
than doubled.
In 1853 the Agricultural Department ut
Washington sent out several varieties of
beet seed. AS of old, much of it fell upon
stony ground, but single package fell in
good soil. Twelve years of patient indus
try have brought its reward, and " Lanes
beet seed " is now "a household word.
The soil and climate of Vermont seem
peculiarly adapted to the highest develop
ment of animals and vegetables. Our
Vermont boys that 90 out from us, take
the front rank in the different spheres of
life. Vermont sheep beat the world. Yer
mont horses have a national reputation.
Vermont cattle take Il good share of the
premiums wherever they are exhibited.
The same intelligent skill and untiring
energy Us shown above, if directed to the
Improvement of our vegetable products,
would make Vermont the great seed ware
house of the world. Although improve
ment in this direction is in its infancy,
thecre seems to be Il general waking up in
this matter. Inventive genius has been
called to our aid, and the Queen of the
Harvest Separator is the result. 1t is Il very
perfect machine and should be patroni ed
by every farmer.
In conclusion, | would recommend to the
farmers of Vermont to get the best varie-
ties, grow your own seed and sow and
plant perfect seed.

THE LEAFS MISSION,

a Heartsease, one bright autumn nday
Was noddipg in an idle way,
It's stem, so graceful and so tall
The proudest heartsease of them ali
When, rustling on the autumn air,
An oak leaf fluttered here and there
Quite crisp and brown, a great old leaf
Quite big and brown beyond belief
a dismal. Notwithstanding thing.
The heartsease wondered what could bring
thing so rumpied up and dry,
And ugly, as it fiuttered by
And when, at last, a breath of air
Brought it quite near. she whispered, I" Wher
Do tell me where you want TO so,
And what can make you rustic SO,
And what you mean to do ? to me
1t seems you are too odd to be
OF any use at all; pray go;
You cannot be of good | know
The old leaf, dried and cast away,
Sighed sadly, saying, Z" Heartse sse, gay,
You will Dot always purple be.
l once was proud and fair thee,
And used to help the great old oak
A shade to make-the storm but broke
My stem, md hee you see me low;
But good yet may do | know,
For every leaf, though young or old,
Can do Il little, am told,
And though cannot ce the way,
rustic lightly while may,
A. wait, quite sure the winds that blow
Will teach me just the way to go,
For even |, SO brown you sec,
\ little good must surely be-"
That night the Heartscase's purple vest
Lay tattercd on her shvcring breast;
The torrents of the autumn swept
Each vestigc that the woods had kept
Of summer, and the frozen blast
No mercy felt in whistling past.
"a las die" the Ilcartscasc sighc
" SO euds my little day of PRIDE
If some leaf, like one saw to day,
Would only drift along this way,
And wrap me in its sheltcring beast,

Till spring when To- while yet She SPOKE,
An old brown leaf the silence broke,
And whispered, " Hearlsease, live and see

Upon thy breast thy life to be,
To give thee warmth, my life to thee"

And fowerets from their slumber woke,

FROMTHEHULLS.

From white brows flushed with heavenly NOM
inS-red,
From faces beautiful with prophecy
Ofthe Sun-gOspel new day shall see,
From cloud-wrapt shape and light-anointed head
Dat of whose gracious mystery words are said
That wake abysmal voices and set free
EeveTberaiions of eternity,
Down TO the level ocean are we sped,
Where broken tinls iii wide illusion blend,
Aud all sounds gather into monotone
Always unto great seers have mountains shown
Their Founder and Uprearer as mans friend
The hills are a religion; but the sea,
a Truth IS doubts unanswered moan TO theei
