Varieties of Printing Paner.

Fourdrinier paper is a name that de-
fines the method of manufacture by the
most improved machine. Papers made
by this machine show equal strength
when torn in any direction, and are
thicker for their weight than cylinder
papers.
Cylinder paper is that made by an
inferior machine, in which the fibres
are dragged by the machine always in
the same direction. It tears or splits
more readily In that direction.
Wove PAPER is made from pulp that
is cOuched on fine inteIlacing wires,
giving it a woven appearance, as may
be seen by holding it against the light.
Laid paper is made from pulp that is
cOuched on close parallel wires, and
afterwards creased or marked by a
dandy roller. 1t is, necessarily, full of
little ridges. Good papers are made
by each method, but in ordinary work
the wove has the preference.
Handmade paper is always laid. 1t
Is too expensive for any other work
than the finest writing, or the reproduc-
tions of antique Typography. 1t has
ragged e2ges, and is usually thicker at
the edges than in the center of the
sheet.
The water marks, improperly 30
called, of the name of manufacturer, or
dealer, or user, which may be seen in
some papers when the sheet is held
against the light, are made by dandy
roller pressing the moist sheet before
the paper is perfected. These dandy
rollers are too expensive to be employed
on common papers.

Farm Notes.

Never in the history of the horse, 1t
is said, has the market been so duh or
prices so low as at the present time.
There are ffty-nine oranges estab-
lished in Canada. The Dominion
grange is entirely independent of the
United States.
The " Centennial Almanac, " said to
be good authority, predicts very late
spring, with cold and humid weather
till the middle of May, and says gram
will be thres weeks later than usual.
The proceedings of the national
grange are to be printed IN full IN pam
phlet form, and a copy will be sent TO
each subordinate grange. 1t Will DC
voluminous document, containing Item
izsd reports from each Office.
1t is shown that IN this country the
average wheat crop is about eleven
bushels to the acre, while IN England
it is claimed to be almost tTenty-nlne
bushels. With all this difference Amer
leans claim that We have as rIch ana
fertile fields as can be found east or
west of the great waters. AdmittinB
that we possess among the richest Ter
tile fields in the world. and that Euro
pean countries can out-yieid us, is
equivalent to an acknowledgement that
our fields are not so thoroughly titled.
The same careful and skiliful culilvs-
ton Of our soil would make IL produce
even more bouDtifully than Eogland's::
American farmers should work less land
ami use more fertilizers.
A paper read before the Minnesote
agricultural society. q few days ago
showed that $50, 900 acres OF wood
land were stripped bare in that state
every year, and at that rate, 1t was
stated that the people would freeze to
death by the year 1900, having trlt,
tered away all their fuel. Several
millions Of trees have been planted
however, within a few years IN Min
nesota, so they may have few sticks
left when the twentieth century dawns
on the wsrld. In the southern ststes
the destruction OF timber has been lar
greater than In the north. Whole tor-
ests of fine large trees have been
girdled and burnt up, in order to cuitl-
vate cotton. A more wsnton destruc-
ton of trees has rarely been seen, and
in the near future the results will be
apparent if the European system OF
ttee-planting Is not Immediately
adopted, Our southern winters viii
grow perceptibly colder with the de-
struction of tbs forests, and state iegis-
lation on the subject OF tree-plantlng,
as is the case in some western states, Is
desirable.

Change of Seed.

A Canada paper makes the following
statements in support of its claim that
q change of seed. in growing the same
crop in the same locality year after
year, is necessary TO prevent deteriora-
tion.
Oats grown in the cool atmosphere
and soil of Vermont and Canada is
found to be more luxuriant when re
sown in the middle and western states,
and yields better. If the same seed,
however, is sown every year in the lat
ter states without new importation, the
crop deteTiorates.
The farmers of Bermuda, who attain
remarkable success in potato culture,
grow potatoes from American seed, and
never from their own.
The farmers of England, who raise
excellent cereals, roots and grasses,
procure their seed from foreign coun.
tries.
The successful flax growers of the
north of Ireland prefer seed from Rus
sia or Holland. The finest bulbous
and tuberous-rooted towering plants
are imported into England and the
United States from Holland and Ger
many.
Forest tree seeds from the mountains
of Tyrol terminate in other parts of
Europe with much greater vigor than
those of home growth. Thus nature
contributes a powerful stimulus to COM
merce.
