Tho Vermont University.

We have received The catalogue Of this insiitu-
ton for 1915 and 1876 The medical department
has sxty-two students, theacadcmic and scientific
ninety. Fifteen Of these arc ladies' Instruction
is given In the University IN three different de-
partmonts First the department Of arts, com
pretending the branches usually taught In the
classical and literary colleges Of the country sec
ond, the department Of applied science, cmhmc-
ing agriculture and related branches, chemistry,
minoralogy, engineering and mining third, the
department Of medicine
The University is fully up TO the requirements
Of its charter, aud the demands VI the age, IN
the facilities Il affords for securing classical OF
scientific education. It provides for three com.
plete courses Of study by Rotations and lectures
in the departments Of art and applied science,
each covering four years which are laid down in
synoptcal tables In the catalogue. In the first
course the classics and general literature FREEDOM
mate; In the second, agriculture and chemistry
in the third, engineering and mining. No student
can 20 through either Of these courses with any
degree Of fidelity, without acquiring a familiar
acquaintance with the general subjects embraced
In them, and securing acreditahlc education. Tho
course in agriculture is very full, including chem

tizers, and organic substances; botany, miner
alogy, geology, astronomy metcoroogy, survey
ing and mechanics Al that belongs 10 agricul
ture rs q science is fully embraced in this course
We see only one reason why young men should
not pursue thi. very complete course IN agricul
turc, and that is they may feel that ifthey spend
four years at college ia securing an education
they prefer the broader and more Fundamental
academic course that will furnish them better
foundation for any position aud labor 10 whicl
they may be called. In this VIC think they act
wisely The University has done well In proyid
ing so thorough and generous q course for students
TO learn the science Of agriculture but the stu
deHts have done better in 50 many Of them choos
/ ing the fall academic studies We are glad TO SCI
that the University has more students than few

is net a bad plan to SOW clover seed on
the freshly turned soil of the orchard at
this season of the year. This clover
will get such start before cold weather
comes on as to insure an early crop to
plow under the next season, which will
greatly fructify and improve the trees.
Orchards frequently suffer from cult
vation for want Of humus and from the
exhaustion of the vegetable matter Of
the soil This is remedied by the quick
growth and turning under Of clover

yer plants furnish supply Of potash. to

The Small Fruit Business -Rasp'
berries.

The Brandywine and other good
varieties Of this fruit have paid very
handsome profits to- growers in this To-
cality, while the poor black varieties
have been improbable, Except as they
have been cured by evaporation The
same is true as to strawberries and this
experience shows the necessity Of cult
vating only or chiefly the best. Any
body can raise common fruit, but it re-
quires care and good management to
get the best and the skill to do this
only comes from experience and that
dilligent effort which the great majority
Of cultivators will not give. 1t is in
this branch Of busines as in all others,
only those who excel can reap the best
rewards. This excellence comes first
from intelligence, that store Of knowl-
edge which enables the cultivator to
forecast in a measure the future and
make wise provisions for wants, and
second, from that care and industry
which constitutes skill in production
The best products in any art always
meet with an appreciation that makes
them profitable to the producer, even in
a market full Of inferior goods. 1t is
this demand for the highest excellence
that our small fruit growers should
strive to meet. 1t can be done by cul-
tivating the best varieties in the best
manner and putting them on the mar
ket in the most attractive form.
It is not wise to conine this culture
to any one variety, but three or four Of
each, selected with view to higher
quality, large and snowy appearance
and regular and continuous succession
SO that the season may be as prolonged,
as possible. Our experience here in
this business has certainly demonstrated
t his as the best method Of management,
and we commend it to the careful con-
sideration ofour growers. OF the best
varieties our readers are no doubt well
enough informed, but for strawberries,
in addition to the Wilson, which we
would not wholly discard, the Triomphe
de Grand, Boyden's No. 80, Monarch of
the West, Jocunda and Kentucky are
worthy trial here. Of raspberries,
the Brandywine, Herstine and Della
ware are the most promising g.-M!ford

Strawberries.

In general improvement has been
noticed Of late in the quality of fruit.
We have more finer varieties Of the
apple the pear is much better than
it was ten years since; Of the grape
there are many new and excellent vari-
cites which the market knew nothing of
a few years ago, and there are some
excellent varieties of the raspberry
lately introduced. But the strawberry
has decidedly deterioriated, and the
result is owing to the general culture Of
Wilson's Albany for the market. Will
sons Albany is sour, crude berry.
which is not fully ripe when it is per-
fectly red, and even when perfectly
ripe is still too acid. When it first
makes its appearance in the market it
has decidedly harsh favor and very
little Of the agreeable aroma which dis
tinguishes the finer kind Of the berry.
If not eaten very sparingly it disagrees
with the stomach and you awake
with the collie next morning. Before
Wilson's strawberry came into vogue
there were many other kinds which
were sweeter and of a more agreeable
favor. But the Wilson is hardy berry
which bears transportation well; it is
exceedingly prolific and altogether hardy
qualities which give it great favor
with the cultivator, but for which the
consumer suffers. The proper way of
dealing in strawberries is to fix the
prices according to the quality Of the
sort. This is the way they do in the
markets of Paris. A poor sort, although
the berry may be large, is sold cheap.
The more delicate kinds-tae sweet,
juicy and high-Aavored-are disposed
Of at higher price. Here the Wilson
should be sold the cheapest Of all, while
such as the Jucuuda. the Gen'l Wilder,
and the McAvoy, should bear prices
corresponding to their excellence We
hope for our part that the Wilson's will,
as soon as their place can be supplied
by better variety, be banished from
the market. It can surely be no diff
cult thing to obtain sort by crossing.
