a correspondent, young Farmer"
says the following very truthful and
appropriate words about the agricul-

One word about the agricultural pa
pers. Some of them have improved
very such as look atmatters. Thirty
years ago very few actual farmers,
whose hands we're familiar with the
plough, hoe, or milk pail, could be
found to write for such paper, even
upon such subjects as they had made
their daily avocation for years. They
were not used to the pen or familiar
with spelling book of rules of grammar.
They spoke their minds freely TO their
neighbors, but cared not to invite crit
icism upon points where they felt that
they might. The minister, school
master, storekeeper or doctor who em-
ployed the time not devoted TO their
business in the cultivation of little plots
of land, would write out their theories
and ideas, and from such men we have
gained much knowledge. Homer 70

much chaT. They had not always eX-
perimented carefully enough, or OBJ
served carefully enough the conditions
under which their experiments were
made, to be taken rs safe pilots in a
channel in which they had only sailed
up on short pleasure trips, and which
abounded in rocks and shoals which
they had not seen. In a word, their
advice was not always practical, nor
as applicable as they thought it to be
to all farms and all localities.
To-day, farmers are studying and
experimenting, who make "farming
for profit q business, and who are
fitted by study in high schools, acade-
mics and colleges, as well as by prae-
tical experience, to experiment scien-
tifcaly and torepott the result in plain
language, if not in fowery style. 1t
is the writing Of such men that fills
most of the columns of our leading
agricultural papers; and the time
will come when they will occu-
py the time at the meetings Of
our agricultural societies and boards

done so to the satisfaction Of their au.

FARM, GARDEN ASDaOUSE,
HUGE CROP OUT WEST.

A speedy return of the good times
Of five years ago is predicted by the
Toledo Blade, which bases its belief
on the immense crop of the year, and
the well-known effects of prosperity
among farmers on general business.
1t appears that the crops being har-
vested are the largest the country ever
had. The acreage of wheat is largely
in excess of any since the settlement
of the country, and the yield per acre
is indefinitely greater. Hay is mag
niiicent, and has been secured in the
very best condition. Corn is now a
certainty. Never was the eye glad
dened with the sight of such fields.
The stalks tower gloriously, and the
color is superb. Oats, which have
been a failure since 1874, will, this year,
yield very much more than they did
then. The Blade continues: ''We
prophesy an immediate and decided
revival of business. There have been
tight times for three years. The
farmers have not had money, nor have
they had any way to make it. This
enormous crop, coming in just at the
nick of time, when the calamities OF
other nations makes good price fol
it, is the let-up we have been looking
for so anxiously, and waiting for SC
impatiently. The farmer willin few
weeks from this have money enough
to pay his debts out of his wheat alone
and he has his enormous corn, oats
and hay crop for future needs. H'
will pay the debts that have been ac
cumulating for three years, and h'
will have plenty with which to ge
those supplies he has been compelled
to do without so long"

SETTING MILK.

Mr. George Crane>of Williamstown,
VT, has sent a letter to O. S. Bliss in
which he gives his experience in setting
milk. Farmers should spend as little
money in patent right as possible, and
here we see no reason to spend much.
Mr.. Crane writes:
81 have succeeded in getting tank
in operation, upon the plan which you
furnished me. 1t is double, twenty
five by sixty-one inches inside; will
hold ten cans nine inches in diameter
at the bottom, teninchesin diameter at
top and sixteen inches deep they will
hold to work forty pounds ofmilk each.
The cans are cooled by stream OF
water forced on the cover of each from
pipe fastened to the lid of the tank
and connected with a water pipe by a
piece of hose, the holes from each being
one-eighth of an inch. We have al
lowed the milk to stand twenty-foul
hours ; temperature, forty-eight to fifty
degrees. We have made one trial as
to quantity, with the following results
Set seven hundred and Lightweight
pounds of milk in small pans, when
the weather was all that could be de-
sired for that mode of setting, and
made thirty -four and one-half pounds
of butter. Set seven hundred anC
sixty-six pounds Of milk in cans, as

PLANK EN- DOWN, SISTEl d.
NAH"

The followingamusings s,ene
is vouched for by a correspond
ent to the Christian at Wo.k:
An amusing scene occurred
not long since at an assembly
of colored persons in their
church, situated at a we'll
knownsummer watering-rlace.
A gentleman, an Elder in what
was then called a Reformed
Dutch Church, went to this
meeting one Sabbath evening,
as was quite customary among
the boarders, and while there
listened to a long sermon beg
ging for assistance. This was
followed by taking a contribu-
ton, and the worthy Elder was
aroused by the remarks of the
colored individual who passed
the plate. Soon the Elders
turn came, and as the smiling
old darkey paused before him,
he said:
"Nnw Rrnddar vn,, - !
what | sed, in de name OBJ de
Lord! Pse here to AK you
what your gwine to glib us to-
night? Do now, brudder, glib
us ten cents without any more
'suasion"
"Ten cents?" said the good
Elder, "why I would be asham-
ed to give SO little. | will give
you five dollars, but you must
not tell my name; you must
say it was given by a Dutch
brother" "n.
"Now see here, Brudder, see
here, dat don't 60 down! You
say you is no Dutchman9 No,
sab! You is a Dutchman, you
is a gentleman! Yes, sab! l
say you Sc a gentleman, and |
shall tell peoples dat, and not
dat oder stuff, by any means?'
Going on with the plate, the
old man saw a neatly dressed
colored sister, and pushing be-
fore her, said:
"Now, sister Dinah, you is
gwine to helpus heaps tonight,
amt you? It's a good cause,
dis we're working in, no less
dan de salvation OBJ souls. Come
now, sister Dinah, shell out
heaps tonight for de good
Lord"
20, yes!" said Dinah. "Pm
bound to glib to de Lord dis
nite!" and de she dropped on
the plate one cent.
"See here now, sister, dat
don't 60 down, no how! You
is no widder, yet you is trying
to cum de widder's dodge by
gibbing one cent. Come now:
| kno you frou and trou, SC
open dat ar pocket-book you
is grabbin' SO tite, and plank
down ten cents for de Lord
1t is almost needless to add
that sister Dinah planked.
There are a geat many peo-
pie, white as well as black, that
try to 'cum de widder's dodge
Some of them are not only
not widows, but belong tc
an entirely different gender
from that of which widows arc
made; but the Lord knows
them ''frou and frou."
