The receipt (through the generous cour-
tesy of the Secretary, Henry $. Evans, Esq,)
of copies of the Annual Reports for 1875
and 1876, of the fruit committee of the Mon
treal Agricultural and Horticultural Society,
puts us in possession of some of the most
valuable information that has ever been
gathered and printed in reference to the
successful culture of fruit in high ATTITUDES.
These Reports contain very complete
resume of fruit culture in the Province OF
Quebec, giving store of facts and statistics
in relation to valuable varieties little known
elsewhere. These facts, and the statements
OF cultivators of fruits in various parts of
the Province, show that orcharding can b.
made very successful and highly profitable
north of the latitude of forty-ive degrees BY
those who will devote the necessary time.
labor and study to the subject. And thes
cullvators possess great advantage, ever
over fruit-growers in more favored localities
since the difficulties in their way, while not
insuperabe, are yet sufficient to exclude tn
slovenly competition which, elsewhere, j,

fit to their "scrub competitors. The 81
we're climate leaves the business of appl-.
growing in all such cold regions entirely il
the hands of careful and experienced men
it having the effect that the currant-worm
has in regard to the supply of currants and
gooseberries, and the potato beetle is likely
TO have in regard to potatoes.
This notice is merely to call the attention
of our readers to the fact that the statistics
of fruitgrowing in the adjoining Province
are at length being gathered and published.
Many will be glad to avail themselves of the
fact, and will hasten, we have no doubt, to
send Mr.. Evans fifty cents for copies of the
reports. No orchardist in northern Yer
mont could possibly make better invest
ment. Though we cannot reprint any great
portion of their contents, we shall no doubt
often make use of them for the benefit of
our readers. Particularly in regard to dis
puted points as to the history and identity
of some of our best hardy apples are these
reports very satisfactory and interesting.

FODDER Com AS SUBSTITUTE FOR
RooTs.-"J. II. L." sends us a postal to in
quire "If the Sanford or sweet corn will
take the place of roots to feed TO COWS in
winter-will they do as well as they would
to feed them roots and hay2" DIR. Hatha
way, Of Milton, who has done much to in
troduce the Sanford corn as fodder crop,
says they will. But still, while we have no
doubt the flow Of milk may be kept up with
well cured fodder corn las it can be by the
very best very early cut hay), yet we should
hardly like to go without the roots, ii even
to feed only peck to COW, once or twice
week. We believe that though no gain in
milk were seen at the time, yet the benefit
to the health and thriftiness of the herd
would be very noticeable in the long run
Have as much cured fodder corn and as much
early cut hay as you can, but raise few
hundred bushels of roots also, is our advice
to 81. II. L."

A VALUABLE Cow.-IIon. Richard Good
man tells, in the Pioughman, of a jersey
COW, g" Jersey Belle owned by Charles o.
Films, Esq, of Setuate, Mass, Tor which it
is said he has refused three thousand dollars,
alleging as reason for not selling her, that
she pays him a better interest on that sum
than he could get by any other investment
If she makes, as the owner represents nine
teen and one-half pounds of butter some
weeks, sixteen and fourteen pounds in 9th
ers, and ten months from calving makes her
pound Of butter day, which butter is sold
at sixty cents per pound, and her calves sell
from one hundred and fifty dollars and up
wards, he is right in considering her first
class investment. Five quarts of her milk
make pound of butter all through the
summer and in December four quarts make
a pound"

A CONNECTICUT writer, speaking of farm
ing says "The markets are far better and
more convenient than they used to be; farm
lands are much cheaper than they once were (;
farming machinery and tools are greatly i'm
proved, so that one man can do the work of
two Or three; labor is much cheaper than it
was ten years ago. Why then, is it that the
average Yankee does not take to the farm,
and that our agricultural industry barely
holds its own, or decreases ?" Simply be-
cause the native fertility of the land has
been wasted, and the "ayerage Yankee "
does not know how TO restore it, Teach the
elements of natural science as applicable 10
agriculture in our schools and academies
aud farming will then again become attrac
tive to the average Yankee"

Connecticut Agriculture.

We have received from Secretary Gold a
copy of the report of the Connecticut State
Board of Agriculture for 1876. This consti-
tutes the tenth volume of the series, and is
nowse inferior TO its predecessors in value
to the farmer.
The Connecticut Board holds but one
yearly meeting-like the Vermont Dairy
mems Association-and that meeting is
specially devoted to the illustration of a
single topic by papers and discussions. The
1875 meeting took up the subject of "Manur-
ing" in. all its branches. DR.. Sturtevant.
Professors Atwater and Brewer, of Connecti-
cut, and Professor Stockbridge, of Massa-
chusetts, constituted a powerful corps of es-
sayists and debaters, and the shrewd ques
tioning from among the audience had ali
excellent effect in stimulating the ideas and
practicalising the statements of these able
agricultural scientists.
In addition to the chief topic, sugges-
tive paper by j. B. Olcutt, agricultural ed
itor of the Hartford COWant, on "Th'
Wastes of the Farm" was read. Our read
ers have had taste of this writer's quality
in the selection of bright sentences from his
paper which we strung together and pub
lished two weeks since, under the title OF
"Proverbial Philosophy for the Farmers
Besides the report of this meeting, the re-
port contains the record of the State Agri-
cultural Experiment Station, showing the
efficiency of governmental supervision in the
fact that all fraudulent fertilizers have been
driven from the state, and that the price OF
genuine fertilizers has fallen fifty per cent.
since the station was established
In addition, we have the report of the
Pomologist of the Board, p. NJ Augur, Esq,
and of the members of the board detailed to
visit the various county fairs, as well as some
noted farms in different parts of the state.
Taken together, we think we must place the
Connecticut Boards report among the very
best that are published-so good in fact
that we agree with Mr.. Cheever of the NeW
England Farmer in regretting its limited dis
tribution, and in the wish that an extra edi-
ton might be printed for sale at a price
sufficient to cover cost Small as is the de-
mand for agricultural reading, we have no
doubt that several thousands of work con-
tanning so much useful information might
be sold

BEET SUGAR.-The state of Maine and
the Canadian provinces are making strenu-
Gus exertions to introduce the beet sugar il :
dustry. If the effort is successful it will add
greatly needed money crop to the agricul
ture of the sections which adopt it. Unlike
potatoes, which rapidly deplete the soil OF
its most essential elements of fertility, the
sugar beet may be so grown, (the pomace
being fed to cattle and the manure returned
to the land), as to cause no loss, if not an
actual gain to the soil. At the old prices of
labor, etc., it was impracticable to grow
beet sugar at profit in this country. But
we have hidden goodbye to those prices for
many years, if not forever, and now it may
be that this new industry can be popularized.
There are many parts of Vermont well
suited TO beet culture Our farmers have
been learning how to grow the root for stock
feeding. They are not ignorant OF some Of
the most important principles of sugar max
ing; and perhaps the beet sugar industry
may offer us what we most want-an mex
haustive money crop.

farmer is justified in borrowing money at

question. A year ago, Col. Edwards
was nominated by the republicans,
for senator for the third district. Mr..

in the county was against Meighen,
party organizations and politicians.
The people rallied for Meighen, and
he, unquestionably received one hun
dred legal votes more than Edwards.
The people done all this because they
knew Mr.. Meighen to be against the
payment of the bonds and believed
that Col. Edwards favored their pay

ment, without dollar in coin to re-
deem their bills, loaned to the people
at y per cent interest, but draw no
interest while out after due redemp-
ton.
About forty years ago, when presl-
dents and officers were honest, under
Gen. Jackson's administration, the
proceeds of the public lands accumu-
lated in the national treasury. till its
magnitude became alarming; and
Congress finally to remove temptation
distributed all of it among the differ
ent States, on the ratio of represen-
tation in Congress, to be used by each
State until called for. The State Of
New York made a State law and
loaned her share at a low rate of inter
est, on real estate, taking note and
mortgage. And / am credibly in
formed, that it still remains on loans
then made, collecting interest annual
ly, all property safe and secure to
this date. And in the State of Illinois
over forty years ago, when men were
honest, the school land. in each
township, were sold on appraisal and
the money put into the hands Of
trustees in each township to be loaned
for interest to the inhabitants Of the
towns, and on all sums over 800 real
estate security was required. And
for twenty years under my observa'
ton all the money secured by note
and mortgage on real-estate were
perfectly secure, with interest paid
