The Sick Man in Turkey Getting no Better.

A Dispatch from st. Petersburg says;
despite the happy conclusion OF an armis-
tice, the general situation OF the Oriental
question has rather been aggravated The
porte has relapsed into inactivity and leaves
the European cabinetsto work for peace with
out assisting them by the application OF re-
forms On the other hand the revival OF
Mahommedan fanaticism is announced Re
cent accounts OF the massacre OF Christians
are confirmed The Christians are calling for
reprisals, and 5000 insurgents have entered
the districts of Bihiace and Seravink. All
these incidents are more serious because they
occur at the beginning Of spring. The Times
correspondent points out the special gravity
OF the above statements, as the dispatches OF
the Russian telegraph agency are always
strictly in keeping with the opinions OF the
Russian governments. The tenor Of this dis
patch seems to show that Europe win at last

of spectators was large, and speeches were
made by several prominent colored politicians

selves, and would never again vote for the
republican ticket in solid column as hereto
fore He said the south could never prosper
while party lines were race lines. He wanted
no more eolor-line party, but division OF
parties on other than race lines. Resolutions
were adopted endorsing and reafirming de-
voted adherence to the National Republican
party and its principles, and expressing graft
itude to President Grant and Senator Morton
for their acts in behalf of the colored race.

Since the commencement Of our late war we
have lived and done business to a large ex.
tent unnaturally. The government flooded
the country with paper money, and a
small amount of produce 10 the market real
lied large amount Of money. Farm hands
we're scarce and commanded fabulous wages,
and since the close of the war prices have
gradually fallen for farm products, while
wages for farm hands have kept up, and il
has often been the case that young man who
was hired on the farm would have more
clean cash when his summers work was done
than the farmer and his wife who had labored
more hours and more diligently than he had.
Besides, mechanical labor was higher than
farm labor, often being as high as three aud
four dollars per day; which even the me-
chanic as we'll as his employer knew he did
not earn, but through scarcity of workmeu
could get.
Now as all products proceed from the
earth and more directly, farm products,
who should be as good a judge as the far
mer himself what wages he could give for a
day's work 4? 1t is useless and one cause Of
the hard times, for the farmer to give one dol
lar for labor if that labor will only realize
ninety cents.
The farmers of Vermont never had any
any concert of action till they almost ruined
themselves, while all other trades and profess
sions have long had their unions, rings, etc.
Now, brother farmers, let us be men let us
be just and honest aud pay every man fair
recompense for labor performed, either me-
chauical or other labor, but be our own
judges, aud if VIC cannot get our work done
without giving more than it is worth, let it
go undone the only Inconvenience we shall
have is that we shall not produce SO much ;
but at the same time the lesser product will
sell for better price, and in due
time things will regulate them
selves. New industries are continually
Springipg up. l should scarcely look for
very good times or high prices in this coun-
try as land is so very plenty and cheap, but
we arc having an outlet to Europe, and Eng
land in particular, and one that not only We
could depend on, but one that is very sure to
increase Every acre of land in England is
cultivated to its utmost bearing capacity,
and at the present increase of population il
will not be many years before we in America
will have to supply them with thrce.fourths
of the necessaries of life, and as an ilustra'
tion l enclose a piece taken from an Eng
lsh paper showing the amount of beef aud
mutton from America sold in the Glasgow mar
ket in Scotland. l think American farming
has seen its worst days. Let US take courage
and counsel one with another, but above oil LEI
us act like men, and feel as if we had some
faith in our business and We shall find thai
farming is not such n despicable busines
after all. WILLIAM S. THoRP.

Take Care of the Stock.

1t is the poorest possible economy to allow
farm stock to shift for itself through the cold
storms Of autumn, until driven to winter
quarters by falling snow. They may get a
living and appear to fill themselves and
look plump, and be losing in condition and
vigor all the while Frost bitten grass is
deficient in nutrition. The varied weather
aud cold storms are trying to the strength
of the animals, and they need food that is a
little more nourishing. But instead they
fnd frost bitten grass-often deficit that
If they come to the barn in losing condition,
it is difficult to cause them to gain. The
same food and care which would, if they
came up vigorous and healthy, put them in
prime condition, scarcely will make them
hold their own.
Now it is plain that in order to make
stock keeping profitable, they must gain while
they consume the food supplied. If they
are leaner and lighter after using giver
quantity Of hay and grain, there is a deaC
loss. The only true principle is to make
them gain all the time. This can only b.
done by housing them from cold storms, ant
supplementing the failing pasture and fall
feed.
The winter quarters should be put in read
iness, 50 that the animals can be run in wher
storms come on. They are better of unde
shelter, even though they go twenty-iou
hours without food, than exposed to col
storms. But there is no necessity Of suffer
ing them to 60 hungry. The convenience
for winter feeding must be made ready yer,
soon, and it will take no longer now thai
in cold snow storm, when the poor crea
lures are shivering with cold and hunger
There is no care of stock that pays so we'll o
fall care. 1t is the "stitch in time"
Breeding animals and young ones are ol
especially sensitive to the severity Of ia
exposure, and are sure to pay neglect wit
loss. If farmers are insensible to the aI
peals of humanity, they should at least col
suit their own interests.

Mr. I;,,lo of Clvdo N " bos hattie

Mr.. Little of Clyde, N. Y, has botter re.
turns from the use Of superphosphate than
some farmser. He applied barrel of the acre
to barley, leaving stripes through the field
with none. The fertilized portions matured
a work in advance of the other, and yielded
454 pounds in the straw and 81 pounds Of
clean grain, to "a pounds in the straw and
nine pounds two ounces Of clean grain from
that superphosphate; or about 22 bushels
per acres where the fertilizer was applied,
and about nine and one half on the rest. He
used Bradey's and Crockirs brands, the ro
suits being nearly alike, He does not state
what the superphosphate cost, or the market
value of the barley, so that one can form an
opinion whether the experiment was really a
paying one. But at ten dollars barrel for
the phospate and seveuty.fve cents for the
barley, 1t was a better thing for Bradley
than for him.

For the VERMONT FARMER
A Talk to Farmers.

As prices of almost all farm products are
low this season, farmers are feeling nearly
discouraged and many of them are auxlousy
waiting for business to revive or something
to turn up by which they may be relieved
l hear many suggestions; some claiming
that one thing is the cause, and some another
thing but all agreeing that farming does not
pay, taking things as we find them.
do not intend to write an article on the
hard times but merely to suggest a word Of
encouragement to those that are desPondent.
1t is true times are hard and always are
when we live above our income, and are al
ways easy when our income is larger than
our expenses, Large bodies move slowly
and will eventually find their level. When
we strike hard.pan we shall know better
where we are, and will act accordingly

Boys on the Farm.

One of the best hints we have met with
as to the way in which boys may be kept
from leaving the farm, came to us when we
we're attending fair in Connecticut few
days since. 1t was at the exhibition OF
trained working oxen and steers. We were
greatly interested and somewhat astonished
at the performances Of the oxen in drawing,
and especially in backing the heavy load to
which they were pitched. But we were
moro interested when two young sons of an
old-time neighbor came on with a pair Of
steers each, two-year olds and yearlings,
which they had trained The steers seemed
to be as we'll broken and as handy as the
old oxen which we drove in our youth 10
fact they we're more so ; for we must confess,
we never drove pair of oxen that were so
completely under control, and so ready to do
what was required Of them as those steers
were. But the training of the dumb animals
was not the only thing we thought Of What
interested us more, and has dwelt more in
our thoughts since, was The training which
those boys received while amusing them
selves with the young steers. We know not
what career may be before those boys per-
haps one ofthem will yet be President. But
we are more confident in predicting that they
will be farmers, and that too, not because
they are not smart enough to be anything
else, an imputation which one look at their
bright and handsome faces would deny, but
because it will be their choice and the bus.
iness in which they will always feel deeper
interest than in any other.
Farmers! If you want your boys to stay
on the farm, encourage in every whatever
will interest them in the things of the farm
Let them yoke the calves, aud halter-break

Standard Currants and Gooseberries.

1t is now about twelve years since the
practice Of growing currants and gooseberries
as standards became generally known in
Europe. Since then it has been rapidly
growing in favor, and now these standard
grown fruits form an important article OF
commerce with tho different nurserymen, es-
pecally in Germany, and so far as they have
been tried, they promise well in this coun-
try. In the United States, where currants
or goOseberrles are grown upon their own
roots and trained as standards, they are usually
soon destroyed by the borer, but the standard
being grated on stocks Of the Missouri cur
rant RiJes aureu), is not only exempted
from the borer, but is not attacked by the
mildew, which is so fatal to nearly all Euro
pean varieties when grown here.
Considerable time is required to produce
one of these standard plants, The stocks
are grown by stoOling, as with the ounce,
ETC., and are removed from the stools in the
fall and potted Immediately, after which they
are reset in a cold frame and watered only
very moderately. About the first Of jan
uary they are removed to a cool house, with
a temperature of about 45o and kept well
shaded, and sprinkled frequently to promote
their starting. In about three weeks they
will have started well, aud then is the time
to begin grating the methods employed
are the whip graft, and the cleft graft for
stronger stocks. As soon as grated they
are given full light and little more heat /;
sprinklng frequently is very beneficial al
this period after having taken we'll they
are again removed to cold house where
they remain till spring, when they are either
repOtted or planted out, being salable the
next fall.
When the top Of tho stock is pinched oil
in season to make it branch, several gratis
OF currants or gooseberries, or both, may be
placed on the same stock. A better head is
formed when several gratis are inserted in
this manner, but we would never advise plac'
ing both currants and gooseberries on one
plant, excepting as a curiosity. .
Whether this method Of cultivation will
become popular in this country is still q
question. 1t has been tried with great sue
cess for some years by Messrs. Kuhn & Co,
of Hoboken, N. j. They exhibi
quite collection of the plants in tn,

Exhibition, and these plants were heavily
loaded with fruit Of unusually large size
