FARM AND HOUEHOLD.
MAINE Farmer.l
Drouth and r. ain,

The present season from the time of put
ting seed into the ground to the end of the
hay harvest or to the first week of August, has
been one of almost unprecedented absence of
rain. Light, local rains and showers cover
ing small sections have occurred, however, at
intervals and for several days together in Ju-
ly the weather was damp and cloudy, there
by preventing the surface of the ground fIom
becoming thoroughly dried. But up to our
present writing, August 10th, we have had
nothing like general copious rain extending
generally over greater portion of the State.
Indeed sufficient rain has not fallen from the
time potatoes were planted to the end of
July, to wet thoroughly into the hills. This
may surely be accounted an exceedingly dry
season; and yet. dry as it has been, crops
have come forward beyond all expectations.
The hay crop, on account of its fine quality
and the good condltion'in which it was har-
vested, will be fully an average one; the grain
crop, in many sections is good. and in all
places fair. and the same is true of potatoes.
Pastures have suffered extremely, and the
grass fields must be considerably Injured for
another seasons work. The fruit crop will
be as near complete failure as was ever be-
fore known in Maine.
The August number of the Scientific Farm
er, Publishes list, gathered from consulting
reliable documents and records, of the dry
oO0oOho WAiSh AoFC OCCulICu Ill Now EQS-
land from the period of its first occupation in
1920 down to 1854 from which it appears
that severe drouths have occurred periodical
ly, through all this time, and so far as can be
inferred, there is not sufficient evidence to
claim that the removal of the woods has been
productive of drouths throughout these states,
But the statement of the Farmer that sson
the frontier of Maine, next to the unbroken
Wilderness" the complaints of drouth are as
frequent as in Massachusetts, we cannot be-
lieye to be true. On the contrary it has been
noticeable that while the central portion of
our State has in years past suffered from
drouth, Aroostook, Piscataquis and Northern
Somerset have had suficiency of rain, and
crops have seldom suffered from drouth.
During the past few days we have heard of
heavy local rains in various portions of the
State, and to-day-August 10th-in this Sec
ton we are having steady and somewhat
copious rain, which we think must be quite
general over the State. Let us hope the
drouth is ''broken'' and that the "latter
rains" will come in such measure as to make
up in some degree for the past severity of its
absence.

Longing.

o bright wings flashing round me in your flight
Within the hollow heavens shining height,
spar king sapphire and Tuby's blaze,
The living light of these long southern day;
Redbrds that on the dark sprays cling and swing
As if pomegrsnate flowers themselves took wing;
Soft turtle-doves that murmur in the shade
The fig tree on the summer sward has laid;
o mocking birds, that on the topmost bough
Wake all the world with music-gladIy now
To all your song would be deaf and blind
To all your beauty, could only mind
Among some orchards cloud of apple blooms
Deep in the heart of all their dewy g!ooms,
The redbreasts first soft futenote when the light
Begins to stir in the dark nest OF night!

Seed Selection.

Major Hallett, in the Gdrdner's Chronicle,
says: "Very close observation during many
years has led me to the discovery that the
variations in the cereals which nature pre-
sents to us are not only hereditary, but that
they proceed from a fixed principle, and
from them have deduced the following law
of development of cereals: 1. Every fully
developed plant, whether of wheat, oats or
barley, presents one ear superior in produc-
tive power to any of the rest on that plant.
2. Every such plant contains one grain,
which, upon trial, proves more productive
than any other. 3. The best grain in
given plant is found in its best ear. 4. The
superior vigor of this grain is transmissable
in different degrees to its progeny. 5. By
repeated careful selection the superiority is
accumulated. 6. The improvement, which
is at first rapid, gradually, after long series
of years, is diminished in amount, and event.
nally SO far arrested that, practically speak
ing, limit to improvement in the desired
quality is reached. Z. By still continuing
to select, the improvement is maintained and
practically fixed type is the result"

BATTLE OF BENNINGTON, AUGUST 16, 1877. Il
The Portland daily press., 1877-08-20
The Crops i'm the West.

We have mad the former rains and are now
having the later rains, which will return to
us the largest corn and hog crop ever mar
keted in this country. The wheat and oats
crops are already in the granary. The esti-
mate is that they are one-third more than a
full average crop. The flax crop, which is
becoming leading one in many parts of the
West, is good one. The potato bug has
been less destructive than usual on that crop,
and the result is that the potatoes are very
abundant ard very fine. The fruit crop is
short through central Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois, but is good east and north and south
of the territory named, so that there will be
fair average yield. The cotton crop in the
South is the finest that has been produced
since the war, while that section is produc-
ing much more grain and pork than at any
time either before or since 1861 The sugar
machinery being purchased in the North for
use in the Gulf States shows that good re.
suit may be looked for in that department..
The crop of vegetables all through the coun-
try is so abundant and so fine that a wagon
load of them will scarcely pay the expense of
bringing them to market. This is a fair,
honest statement of the crop product in this
country to-day. Indianapolis Journal.

The calm, sweet rays of summer rest,
AND dove-lke peace benignly broods
On its smooth lawns and solemn woods.

The storm of battle DER it broke,

These pleasant fields were strewn with dead.
Stark. Quick to act and bold to dare.
And Warmers mountain band were there
And Allen, who had flung the pen
Aside to lead the Berkshire men,
With fiery onset blow on blow
They rushed upon the embattled foe
ana swept his squadrons from the vale,
Like leaves before the autumn gale.
oh never may the purple stain
OF combat blot these fields again,
Nor this fair valley ever cease,
10 wear the placid smile OF peace.
Yet here, beside the battlefield,
We plight the vow that, e'er we Weld
The rights for which orr fathers bled,
Our blood shall steep the ground we tread.
And men will hold the memory dear
OF those who fought for freedom here
And guard the heritage they won
