The Haydn Concert.

The concert by the Haydn Association comes
off at Union Hall Wednesday evening next, at
which will be presented Randegger's dramatic
cantata Fridolin (period 14OO) of which the FOL-
lowing is the argument:
Fridoln and Hubert are in the service of the
Count of Saverne. Hubert, aspiring to win the
affections Of the beautiful Countess conceives
violent hatred of Fridolin, whom he regards
as an obstacle in his path Taking advantage
OF Fridolin's loyal devotion to the Countess,
Hubert exctes the Jealousy of the Count, and
prompts stern revenge. The Count forth with
writes to some mechanic serfs, ordering that
whoever comes asking certain question shall
be at once thrown into their furnace. FridOlin,
innocent of wrong and unconscious of danger,
receives the message to the forge;" but ere
setting out he waits upon his mistress for such
commands as she might have to give The
Countess desires him to enter the chapel he
would pass on his way, and offer up a prayer
FOR her. Frdoln obeys, and thus saves his life;
but vengeance overtakes the traitor, Hubert
who going to the Forge to learn whether the
plot has succeeded, himself asks the fatal ques-
ton, SIS obeyed your lords command" and
himself becomes the victim. Frdoln subse-
quently appears, and is about to perish like
wise, when the Count and Countess, between
whom explanations have taken place. arrive on
the scene, to preserve the innocent, and to learn
the fate of the guilty.

name Stsqueco, is another native sort long
known to cultivators of small fruits in the
Eastern States. The berries are of good
size, globular, firm, bright color and good
flavor. The plants are somewhat dwarfish
in habit, and unless the ground among them
is covered with some kind of mulch in sum
mer the berries are liable to get splashed
with mud during heavy rains. The canes
are very hardy and seldom sustain any inil-
ry during our coldest winters.
Ihe Turner is variety of recent introduc-
ton, and said to be very popular among the
frult-growers of the Western States. IT is
certainly one of the most vigorous sorts in
cultivation, but in some parts of the East
the fruit is not as firm as the Wilmington or
Kirkland, although as large as the former
and about equal to it in flavor. It will,
doubtless, become a popular sort in the
Northwest, if not In the East.
The Cuthbert is new and promising va
riety, but we have not tested it sufficiently
to speak positively and intelligently as to its
merits.
Elm City, Stoever, Aliens Red Prolific
and Bristol are old sorts which have been
discarded by majority of our fruit-grow-
ers. A few, however, hold on to the first
and think it worthy of cultivation.
The Herstine is, we believe, the only one
Of some four or five promising sorts known
as the Herstine seedlings, which has gained
even slight local reputation. 1t is, how
ever a handsome variety and valued highly
by many cultivators. Some Of our raspber-
ry culturists report the Herstine narfessiy
hardy as far north as Central and Western
rseU Z ork Others consider it tender even
in much warmer ATTITUDES; but all this diff
ference may arise from the soil in which the
plants are growing, or the care bestowed,
for it is Well-knoWn fact that vigorous
late growth IN raspberry cane increases its
chances of passing safely through the win

which applies to but few other plants, for

SEEDING TIMOTHY.

In answer to the question, by CORES
pondent, g How many bushels OF seed will it
require ?'' to seed timothy, Cole,nam's Ruyuz
World, says:
Some persons contend that peck of timo-
thy seed is sufficient to seed an acre of
ground, while others say that half bushel
is none too much to apply to the acre
About twelve quarts is the quantity we usu-
ally sow to the acre. About eight and
half bushels is the quantity you require for
the twenty acres. But it makes much diff
ference in the set you will obtain, about the
condition of the land for the seed. If the
soil is good, and the land deeply and well
plowed, and thoroughly narrowed, So us To
furnish a soft bed for the seed, peck, even
ly distributed over the ground, will produce
more plants than half a bushel of seed soWn
over lunpy, cloddy-ground, not halfway
prepared. The Thomas smoothing harrow
is an excellent implement to smooth the
ground for the seed. And after the seed is
sown, if that or good roller is run over the
ground it will be a great aid. Indeed, all
land put in meadow should have roller run
over it, after seeding.
Our Bitter Root Valley farmers are pre-
pared to furnish the rest of the Territory
with fresh-grown timothy seed.-[ED.

WHEAT FOR SEED.

Ihe most scrupulous care should he used
by farmers in selecting all kinds of seed. It
IS important to select the variety that pays
best in the location where sown. Because a
variety of any kind of grain succeeds well in
one locality, is no evidence that it will sue
ceed equally well in another locality.
Whether it will, can only be determined by
testing it; and it is safer to do this on a
Small svsio at h1ot-so If there ;e q fail..re
there is no great loss. But when the variety
has been selected it should be cleansed from
all imperfect kernels, and from all foul seed.
The loss of millions upon millions of dollars
annually has been entailed upon farmers as
perpetual legacy, by sowing the seed of
noxious weeds with their seed grain Their
farms are standing witnesses of such care
lessness. Time and money are spent to
eradicate these weeds-but, like Banuuo's
ghost, they will down at no mans bid
ding.
All seed grain should be run through the
tanning mill-and good tanning mill, the
best that is manufactured land every farmer
should have the best)-at least three times,
and then he will have only the pure, plump,
healthy kernels, that will produce strong,
healthy plants; and he will have no cheat or
noxious weeds of any kind coming UP with
his wheat from that seeding. And in this
this connection it may not be out of place to
say that it will pay every farmer to give ex-
ira care in preparing his wheat for market
1t should be carefully run through the fam
ming mill twice. The increased price will
much more than pay for the extra labor.
Everything sent to market, should be put in
the best shape. It it does not sell we'll, the
fault is not then with the producer.-C Col
mans Rural World.
