Il am willing to stake my reputation as
a man OF truth and horticultarist that
the genuine wild goose plum will prove
t. be all have claimed tor it, and that
all with whom it has failed have been
imposed upon by spurious variety.
This is pretty strong evidence, and seems
to settle the controversy in respect 10
its value. Should this variety retain It's
standard Of excellence in every section
OF the country, in addition to being bug
proof and entirely hardy, it strikes me,
there is pleasant prospect ahead for all
lovers of plums." Unfortunately, how

being disseminated, that one really doe:

We understand that Messrs. w. Nee
and Parmelee have purchased in the
course OF the present season over $4,000
pounds of wool. Mr.. Lloyd, of Mime
apolis, agent OF Gibson, Tyler Il Co..
of that city, has purchased on their &C
count 10 ,69l pounds making the amount
purchased in the market about A., 600
pounds. This is more than has been
taken in Tor number of years before,
the quantity of late years having aver
aged about "a 900 pounds The increase
is an encouraging indication, as it shows
that wool growing. which fell into de-
cline after the war, is regainlng its
proper position in the agricultural pur-
suits OF our people. Wool has brought
a good price the present season and
more attention will be directed to sheep
raising. Merinoes are giving way to
mixed grades and coarse wooded sheep,
crosses of the Cotswold and Merinc
blood being the most popular.-Fari-

Being in England of late, saw the
farmers draw out their manure on grass
fields, to be exposed to the sun and
winds. 1t struck me that all the ammo
MIA and other properties would be taken
out of it. What isyour opinion on the sub
ject, and do you consider it advisable
for Irish farmers to adopt that S. stem III
preference to putting it under their tur-
hips The English farmers say they
have as good wheat by having their ma
nure out all the summer as they would
to pat it out immediately before plowing
We held the same opinion that you do
relative to the exposing OF manure but
DR.. Voelcker states that ION all soils
with a moderate proportion of clay no
fear need be entertained of valuable
fertilizing substances becoming wasted
If the manure cannot be piowed In at
once. Fresh and even well rotten dung
contains very little FREE ammonia; and
since active fermentation. and with 1t
the further evolution of Tree ammonia.
is stopped by spreading cut the manure
on the field. valuable manuring matters
cannot escape into the air by adopting
this plan. As all soils with II moderate
proportion of clay possess i'll remark
able degree the power of absorbing and
retaining manuring matters. none OF the
saline and soluble organic constituents
are wasted even by heavy tall OF rain
1t may, indeed. be questioned whethe
it is more advisable To plow in the ma
nure at once or let it lie for some tim
on the surface. and to give the rain full
opportunity to wash it into the soil.

ClLT-EDcED BUTTER.

Doubtless Philadelphia dairymen lead
the world in the manufacture OF butter.
Many of them command the year round
dollar pound for their butter. 1t is
hard as cheese, yellow as the yellowtst
To accomplish these results the
in every part of the process. The stock
is If the best. Alderney is preferred for
butter, the COWS are wisely fed, the Sta
BILE where they are MIXED is odorless,
and the milk is taken thence to a dairy
that winter and summer, is kept at Il
temperature of $50 A cup Of lobbered
milk is put into each shallow pan before
the new milk is strained into it, then it
is placed on cemented floor with water
| flowing all about it, and left until the
third milking thereafter, when the cream
is removed. Three milkings always
stand in the dairy. The cream is stirred
morning and night, and churning done
at least once week. The butter is tax
en- from the churn, and while with one
hand the. lever is worked up and down
through about ten pounds at me,
with the other hand the butter is patted
with clean towel, in which a sponge
is wrapped. This is frequently wrung
out in clean water, and the process con-
tinued until all the buttermilk is worked
ut waen it is sailed, half an ounce to
the pound being the allowance. 1t is
then made into pound balls, beautifully
stamped, laid in large square tin pans,
and set in the spring house to cool. AT
night, when the next milking Is brought
in, each ball is wrapped in its own
snowy square Of muslin, and is laid into
the but,er-tub to be carried to market.
Every morning fire is kindled in the
caldron stove in IA room adjoining the
. dairy, and the milk vessels thoroughly
, scrubbed with brush and then scalded
Nothing is allowed in the spring house

Those simple folk of Ell Dorado,
Who peopled once the solitude
From Shasta to the Colorado.
But, short Of stature, plain of mien,
And lacking all the sculptured graces,
They still were part OF every scene,
And song and science seek their traces
No monument of art arose
Where once they dwelt in densest numbers
The curious modern only knows
By kitchen-heaps the tribe that slumbers.
Or. raking in the blackened soil,
He finds the tips of spears and arrows,
Wrought by ancient artists toll
To STAY all game from man to sparrows.
Yet, artless as they were, and still
AS history will be about them
They and their mother Natures Will,
And Nature could not do without them.
They were the Adams of the land,
Who gave to hill and vale and river,
To every tranquil scene or grand,
The titles that recall the giver.
While soft Solano spreads her plain,
And lifts his head tall Yallow bally-
The vanished people will retain
A monument in hill a, d valley.

COLOR OF HORSES.

In letter which appeared IN the |
Times a short time ago, Lord Calthorpe,
offering to contribute handsomely |
towards fund to be expended for the
encouragement of horse breeding IN
Great Britain and Ireland, mentioned
horses of ..good color" Is there any
such thing. in the abstract, as good
color tor a horse? The ancients, no
doubt, attached considerable importance
to the color of horse, as is only TOO
well known to every schoolboy whose
classical education has been carried as
tar as the third book OF Virgins
"Ge >rgics," AID has taught him the fol-
lowing general rule -
Spadices glaucique; color deterrimus albis

position asserted in the saying that "a

Flax Culture.

Good corn land will produce flax. The
land should be well plowed. narrowed
and rolled until it is as nearly even as
possible. The blowing should take
place as early in the spring as the de-

ground should have been cultivated the
year previous. as it is nearly Impossible

In the nine articles here alluded to,

Acout $40, 100000 of the falling off has
arisen on wheat and flour, and is tracea-

partly. also, to the holding back OF grain

800 900 IN cotton is attributable almost
entirely to the reduced quantity exported
the price having averaged only II cent
lower. In petroleum, there is de-
crease Of $4,000, 1000; the reduction hav-
ing arisen from diminution of 2O,OoO,-
600 gallons in the export and decline
in the average price OF 3 2-3c. per gallon.
In the bacon and hams there Is de-
crease of nearly 80 per cent. in the
quantity shipped, while the reduction IN
the aggregate value is only 1912 pr
cent, the price in this case having
averaged higher than the previous year.

and the same rule app les also to tallow.

cents against IL 1-3 cents the previous
year. The principle articles that show
an increase in the value of exports are
corn, furs, hides hops, firearms, leather

show that the falling off in the export!
has been mainly connected with dimi
