STATE JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY,

trees, but that there are hundreds OF very
inferior sorts, the young trees of which are
all that can be desired for thrifty and sym
metrical growth. A pedlar takes orders, let
us say, for Williams Favorite, or Summer
Harvey, and on coming to the nursery finds
hardly tree of these varieties, even in long
rows, that possesses much beauty OF form.
They are naturally "poor growers In the
nursery" But the customer does not I'M
derstand this and consequently he will com
plain and refuse to accept and pay for such
trees. Yet he is so ignorant of the character
istic marks which distinguish the different
varieties, that any other sort can be palmed
off upon him with ease for the genuine.
Here is the pedlar's "awful temptation"
BY taking the handsome trees and labelling
them by the names of the ill-growers, he can
collect his pay with ease, and before the
trees come to bearing he may be thousand
miles away, or else in some other business.
The result of this, with the nurserymen
who grow trees for pedlars, is that they
raise but few sorts, all "good growers and
the pedlar tables them to suit his orders. If
any "poor growers are raised, it is only a
few, to go to those buyers who know some
thing of fruit-growing, and buy directly
from the nursery.
These facts ought to be better understood
by farmers generally. If they would be
more reasonable, and order more intelligently
the trees they want, they would not be half
as likely as they are to be deceived, even by
pedlars. The best way of all, if not much
acquainted with varieties is to send your
order to the nearest responsible nurseryman,
leaving the choice of varieties and trees
mainly TO his judgment. You may specify
any kind you are familiar with, or that
grow well in your neighborhood, but it
would be well to add few dollars at least
for such kinds as he believes would be well
adapted to your locality. The nurseryman
studies this matter carefully, and usually
you will get much better selection to leave
it entirely to him, rather than to take it en-
tirely upon yourself.
But especially beware of demanding a sci
list of varieties, call tall, straight trees
Even the nurseryman is apt to " substitute ;
in such orders, so as to avoid complaints
He knows that the weak and crooked grow
ers will be received with dissatisfaction, anc
will, instead Of the careful culture they need
be stuck out in some corner, if planted al
all. These poor growers are the very trees
that want coaxing and petting, and this is
the only way to bring to bearing some of oui
choicest varieties of apples, pears and othel
tree fruit. The crabs and common fruit
the trees of which deliver SO well, vii
much better bear neglect than these crooked
producers of fine fruit.

A Vital Question in Dairying.

The Rural Nev Yorker says "There are
many sections in the dairy districts where
growing of stock for dairy purposes has, for
many years, been abandoned. The time
will soon be at hand when the dairyman
must determine whether he is to continue
the old practice of slaughtering his calves in
spring. or whether he will commence raising
stock by selecting from the best cows. The
practice of buying anything and everything
that is offered for filling up the herds cannot
be sufficiently deprecated. Many of the
animals bought from droves at high prices
do not pay the cost of keep, and the opinion
has come to be pretty general that the best
way to secure good cows is to raise them on
the farm. The difficulty in obtaining supe-
rior mich cows to supply the many and
large herds in the dairy districts becomes
greater from year to year, and this difficulty
renders stock raising desirable, at least with
those who are trying to excel in quantity of
dairy products. Why, then, should not the
raising of dairy stock on dairy farms be the
rule rather than the exception The main
reason is because it is supposed to cost more
to raise a COW than it does to purchase one
in the market; but granting this to be true,
when we come to strike the difference be-
tween the good cows raised by judicious
breeding and the poor ones bought from
droves, it will be found far more profitable
for dairymen to raise and educate the ami
mails on the farm, under their own immedi-
ate supervision, than to depend on pur-

Woman on the Farm.


Another "farmer's wife" writes "My

about some of the lighter farm work. !

mentioned for liking the farm II is such
good place for the children. The fresh
air, the freedom from restraint, the pure
milk-almost everything that can be men
toned in connection with the farm, the in
fuences there brought around them, all
tend to make them healthy, happy boys and
girls and later, good and honest men and
women Give them an interest in patch
of ground-some of the animals to care fol
aud train; if their taste points that way
give the inventive ability chance to ex-
pand, make home as attractive as ii should
be, with books and music, and the children
will love the farm and the home too well to
ever wish to leave it for the over-crowded
dangerous city"

Carding the Cattle.


A good idea, that of Brother Tinkham, in
late issue of the Freeman, to utilize the old
worn up corn brooms in the cattle stables
He says I'VE have seen people card cattle
when we thought neither carder nor animal
much enjoyed it; the animal would cringe
and shrink away from the card, and the car
der would tear round and scold because it
did not keep still-evidently not thinking
this was the only way the animal had of tell
ing him he hurt. You never see a man rub
bling his back againt the decreasing unless
it itches, nor do cows care to be carded I'M
less they have the same occasion, and then
not hard enough to make it pain instead
of pleasure. We have found an old broom,
cut off up near the tying, TO be an excellent
article for grooming cows, especially about
the roots of the tail where card will not
work; while not harsh enough to be painful,
it will scratch nicely and reach where the
card will not. About as much solid com
fort as usually falls to the lot of mortals in
this wicked world may be taken by the man
who loves animals, in seeing them stretch
themselves under his brush, or follow him
about and poke their noses under his arm,
or hold down their heads TO be scratched, as
natural as folks. Try the old broom, boys,
and see how it works"

The Patched Jacket.

"Oh dear don't want to go to Sunday
school one bit. Please let me stay at home
this once, MOTHER" said Willie Stone who
was looking out of the window of plain
room into the quiet street.
Wilie's mother looked up in surprise, and
seeing the boys troubled face, asked him why
he wished to stay at home, and whether hr
was sick mo; am not sick, but don't
want to go this morning"
After much urging, he told his mother
that the boys had been teasing him about
his old, patched clothes; that they had nick
named him The Patched Jacket" aud as
many of his schoolmates attended the same
Sunday-school, he knew that he would be
made fun of there.
His mother lovingly tried to show him
that he had better do right, even if laughed
at but she knew how hard it would be for
him. She was therefore both surprised and
glad, when Willie's sisters had entered the
room, ready to start, to see Willie pick VI
his hat and books and go with them. Most
earnestly did she pray that she might be
directed in the governing of her children
and might be able to provide for them.
Little did Mrs. Stone think that her prayer
was so soon to be answered, or did Willie
know that his patched jacket would be the
means of securing him situation, just be
fore the closing exercises of the school, an
active business man entered the room, who
proved to be friend of the superintendent
He was invited to address the school; and
while doing so his eye fell on Willie. Judg
ing from the boys clothes that he was poor
he inquired about him. Learning that hi,
mother was widow, with large family tc
provide for, he told the superintendent thai
he was in want of an errand-boy, and should
like TO speak to Willie after school. Willie
was much surprised on being called ~
after school, and still more so when Mr.
Moore told him he was in search of boy
for his store. lie handed Willie his card Il
give to his mother, and babe him ask her il
he might enter his service.
Willie fastened home TO tell the GOOD
news. He was at the store at the appointed
hour the next morning. After a few ques
tons asked by Mr.. Moore, Willie was en-
gagged to come the following morning, liz
stayed in the employ of Mr., Moore for many
years, serving him faithfully as errand boy
clerk and book-keeper, Being offered bet
ter position by another gentleman, on thu
advice of Mr.. Moore he accepted it, and il
now one of the most respected men in
large city IIe has never regretted listening
TO the advice of mother on that spring morn
ing, and going to Sunday-school in his ole
patched jackets. S. Visitor.

Good, Straight Trees"

There is great complaint of tree pedlars,
and their frauds, and with much Justice
IL is better TO avoid dealing with "middle-
men," when you can do so Just as well as
not. You will thus save the middeman's
profit, and have the usually much more re-
sponsible producer to fall back upon for re-
dress, If you suffer wrong. The growing
of fruit and ornamental trees is business
which requires time and capital conse-
quently the grower must have permanent
quire that good reputation upon which he
can alone build up profitable trade The
pedlar is here to-day and gone tomorrow.
You must pay him large price, and have
no security against his cheating you with
out redress The tree agent is often an hon
est man, or begins as such, but his tempta-
tions are, as one once said to u.s. "awful."
He finds that the average purchaser is no
judge of what he buys, but is taken by
snowy pictures of fruit, without regard to
their accuracy, or to any other essential
quality of the tree that is said to produce
them. When the trees come to be delivered
and the money paid, the buyer expects the
young trees TO be as handsome and shapely
as the fruit appeared in the agents picture
book. He grumbles at a'crooked or stumpy
tree, or one with short branches, being en-.
tirely ignorant that it very frequently is the
case that the best and handsomest apples
grow on the ugliest trees. The pedlar
therefore, when he goes to the nursery, il
extremely anxious to get trees that will
"deliver we'll" He insists on having good
tall, straight trees, well branched !" and he
is right, for that is what his customer de
mands, and unless he can meet that demand
his trees are likely to be thrown back on
his hands.
Now IT may be set down as a rule, not, in
deed, that all good fruit grows on ill-shapec

We do not pretend that the cholera
when once firmly seated can be cured
but we unhestatingly affirm that II
prompt measures are taken when the dis
ease first appears in the herd, large
majority of the hogs may be saved. We
say, hogs, knowing that young pigs,
when taken sick from any cause, can only
he saved by a miricle. As soon as the
disease shows itself in the herd, attention
to the following particulars is imperative.
FIRsT.Remove the sick animals from
the pen to comfortable quarters, and pro.
vide the herd with fresh bedding and
ample protection from the weather.
SECoSD.-Avoid feeding corn in any
form. Feed the sick animals milk ex-
clusively, or milk mixed with little
middlings, and the entire herd with
shorts, middlings, ground oats or rye. If
the food can he cooked NO much the
better.
THIRp--Let the entire herd have
ready access TO pure water, and keep CON
stantly in the yard pile of charcoal and
ashes.
FoURTH-Keep in mind constantly
this general truth the hog is a cleanly
brute which enjoys and pays for clean
quarters, and especially his nature, no
less than mans, demands proper supply
Of nitrogenous foods.
Only week ago We heard careful
farmer and well known Berkshire breeder
assert that, after much experience, he
had no longer any dread of the hog
