Though they may not be masters Of rhetoric
they are, or should be if they heed the teach.
iugs Of nature. masters Of the facts, aud can
give us If they will the bulk of the available
practical knowledge which IS worth having,
and which some agricultural writers and
editors too must learn from somebody. The
New England Farmer very justly observes !;
An agricultural paper should not be
looked upon as an oracle Of agricultural
wisdom. The farmer should not 90 to the
editor to learn farming He should acquire
that, as other men learn their trades, by a
regular apprenticeship, or by observation
and study. But he needs the paper to keep
him posted 10 that which neither his master
nor the books teach. They teach what is
already known, aud has been for a long
time. The paper should reflect the advance
steps as they are taken day by day; and
who make these advances but the practical
farmers themselves, aud those who are
making special efforts toward knowledge?
Is it not plain that that paper will be the
most valuable which is made up largely OF
the work Of itS readers? Editors naturally
incline to discuss those subjects with which
they are most familiar, or in which they are
most interested, and for this reason papers
may have tendancy to lack variety and
breadth of thought; but each reader may
contribute to his paper what is Of most interest
10 himself, without the least danger Of warp

Hybridization of Apples.

The production of new varieties of fruit
and potatoes by hybridzation, has for some
years been matter Of considerable notOriety
through the efforts of Wilder, Hovey and
others with the strawberry, and Prnglc,
BroWnell, Breeze and others with the potato.
1t is known that Mr. Charles Arnold has
produced valuable varieties of wheat by the
same process. The results Of Mr. Prngle's
labors with the same grain have come before
the people in his interesting paper on the
HybridizatiOh of Cereals, read at the meet
ings Of the Board of Agriculture, and illus'
trAted by mounted specimens, His work on
HybridizatOn has been productive of results
of inestimable value to farmers, aud affords
an example to young farmers who thiuk that
farm life affords nothing better than a dull
routine of drudgery,
The improvements which may be made
in the apple by this means are stated by
Mr. Pringe in communication to the
Watchman, in which he gives the best and
most graphic description of aud directions
for this fascinating work, which we have
seen. Mr. PringIs says;
From the very excellent fruits which
chance has already given us, from union
Of the Siberian species with the improved
varieties of the species so long cultivated,
have net the slightest doubt but we may, by

The Boston Cultivator picks up Mr.. Chez.
vOr's statement that more feed can be
produced on one acre Of pasture with ten
varieties of grass than on ten acres with one
variety, aud undertakes to disprove it by
citing the natural blue grass pastures on the
limestone soil Of Kentucky. Our contem.
pOrary takes pains to emphasize the words
natural blue grass pastures, which have never
been plowed. We did not understand Mr..
Cheever to claim that it would improve the
natural blue grass pastures of Kentucky to
plow them US aud reseed with ten varieties.
He was treating Of the best methods Of re.
storing the worn out pastures Of New En-
gland, and advised such seeding as prefera.
bic to seeding with only one or two varieties
in cases wherO it is found expsdient to re.
seed. Does our contemporary claim that
blue grass pastures, either natural or art-
ficial in Massachusetts, or Vermont, will
produce as much feed in a season as il
stocked with many varieties? I'VE trow
not :"

The Narragansett Turkey.

This is one of the largest and hardest OF
all the breeds OF turkeys. 1t is raised in the
greatest perfection in Southeastern Connecti-
cut aud Rhode Island, region famous for
its fine poultry. Turkeys do remarkably
well along the seaboard, aud almost every
farmer remote from the villages has his
flock. Ii is not uncommon to find hocks OF
from one to two hundred birds, the product
of about dozen hens, under the skilllul
management Of poultry woman or boy. OF
course they do some damage to grain but
this evil is counterbaluuced by tho enormous
destruction Of insects secured From juno
to September they subsist mainly upon
grasshoppers, crickets and other insects,
ranging Tor the most part in the pastures
and woodlands. They are fattoned IN Octo.
bor and November, aud it is not uncommon
for lot Of early chicks TO reach the average
weight Of fourteen pounds, dressed, at
Thanksgiving or Christmas. The common
run OF turkeys sent to the New York market
do not average more than eight or nine
pounds, The Narragansett is very large
healthy bird, aud has been bred for size i T
many generations. Most Of the birds sold
in the Boston aud Providence markets uuder
the name of Rhode Island turkeys, or extra

careful in the selection Of their breeding
sto,k, taking young gobblers that will weigh
from Twenty-Five TO tweuty-eight pounds, aud
hens that will weigh from twelve to sixteen
