The Government Seed Store.

Says a late number of the Rural Neu
Yorker: w The Annual Report of the Com
missioner of Agriculture shows that there
have been distributed, during the past year,
one million five hundred and twenty thou
sand packages of seeds from the department
and, we may add, at a cost TO the govern
ment of a good many thousands of dollar.
more than they are worth to those receiving
them. OF course, this seed business of the
department has furnished employment TO-
many persons; but how much better for the
country it would be if the rates of postage
on seeds were put back to the old one of a
half cent per ounce, the government seed
store abolished, and the money appropriated
to its support handed over TO the post-oce
department, to make up any deficiency
which might follow in giving us cheap post
age on seeds. Men who have sense enough
to cultivate plants, seldom have occasion to
ask the department of agriculture to make
selections for them. The free distribution
of seeds by the government has DONE and is
doing more harm than good, besides cost
ing the country hundreds of thousands OF
dollars"

who is she2 DO you know?-
who always has welcome
Wherever she may go.
Her face Is like the May-time,
Her voice Is like birds;
The sweetest Of all music
Is in her llghtsome words,
Each spot she makes the brighter,
As II she were the sun,
And she Is sought and cherished
And loved by every onei
BY old folks and by children,
by lofty and by low.
Who Is this little maiden?
Does anybody know
You surely must have met heri
You certainly can guess;
what must / introduce her2
Her name Is -Cheeffulness.

RED SrIDERs.-These are the most deadly
enemies of our floral pets which we have to
contend with. If plants can be kept in a
cool, moist air, they will seldom appear.
Large-leaved plants can be kept from them
by frequent sponging. A thorough sprink-
ling or Swinging two or three times a week
is good preventive. Turning the plants
upside down, and busting the under side of
the leaves with red pepper will sometimes
destroy them. These insects are so minute
as to be scarcely visible to the naked eye,
and often commit extensive ravages before
the source of the mischief is discovered,

A FROZEN climate is great promoter of
a permanent fertility of the soil. While
states further south are having their soils
leached and washed by frequent rains, those
of this state are resting in the embrace of
frost. There is no uniavorable change from
November until April, This is an item of
no small consequence in our favor,

awe raise" says Joseph Harris, " from
ten to fifteen bushels of wheat per acre
where we ought to get from twenty-five to
thirty bushels; we raise thirty bushels of
corn instead of sixty, and seventy-five bush
els of potatoes instead of two hundred"
Now this difference between what is raised
and what might be is no trihing matter, for
it implies loss to the country of more than
all that it raises. To bring up this standard
of production is the great work and the ap-
propriate duty of the new century.

cultural Gazette says " We are told, on good
authority that, at an English dairy show,
last year, one exhibitor showed samples of
butter in two classes. For butter in the
Jersey class, he took the first prize, while in
the class for any variety, his samples were
unnoticed. The man declared that both
samples were made from the same milk and
churning-the only difference being that the
Jersey butter was colored."

A PoINT IN FEEDING Cows The follow
ingi from the Nem Engiand Farmer: "Cows
soon learn what to expect, and if, by any
manpuvering on their part, they can change
the regular programme to their advantage,
they are not slow to do so. We have COWS
in our stable which, if fed an inferior quail
ity of fodder, at an unusual hour, will either
poke it through the front of their manger on
to the barn floor, or paw it out under their
feet with all the deliberation with which a
spoilt child clears its plate of plain food to
make room for the choicer sweets which are
held in reserve by the over indulgent parent
but if this same fodder is given at the last
foddering at night, when the cows know, a.
they always do, that it is the last foddering,
they will take hold of it, if at all hungry, as
a matter of business, and will clean it up as
though it were as good as the best

WILL a cows MANURE RAISE
HER FEEDP

HER FEED
"a. S. t." of Bethel, propounds the above
question, and says A great many practi-
cal results in farming are dependent upon
the yea or nay of it,"
We answer the question first, broadly,
that the manure of any herbivorous animal,
applied to the soil, pW produce feed enough
to support that animal, We go further,
and say that any soil which will not give
such yield with such fertilization, and
keep improving all the time, until it will
produce more than the animal can eat, is
and say that there is not one farmer in ten,
to-day, in New England, whose stock (out-
side of Sheep do keep up, much less i'm
prove, the fertility of the land upon which
they are kept. The reason for this is in the
animal waste of the manure and especially
of the liquid portion of it. There are two
practical ways Of saving this, one or the
other of which is open to every farmer, and
when neither is practiced there is demon
strative evidence that the farmer (as Presi
dent Buckham said to the Dairymen in
Congress assembled) don't understand his
business" or else he is too shftless to live
One way (and the besD is to have his stable
over cellar, and the other is to have his
floor paved and cemented, use plenty of alb
sorbents, and throw his manure out, not un
der the caves, but under a shed.
But perhaps some of our readers will ask
how we know that the manure of an ami
NAL will produce its feed. We know it two
ways; one way is by experience, and
the other way is by reason. As we cannot
communicate our experience to another, that
being what each must get for himself, We
will give the reason, or philosophy, or sci
ence-all the same thing-of the matter
All good arabic or pastoral land contains
within itself the power of producing vegeta
ton suitable for the feed of domestic cattle
This is its natural fertility. When the ami
NAL takes--or we take for tits food from
this land, and all the manure goes back u
the land, all the elements Of fertility-plan

A MARDY WINTER sMEE1


Aaron Webster, Esq, of East Roxbury
sends us specimens of sweet apple, and
writes :" send to-day samples of the Cal.
ais Winter Sweet apple. | obtained ii
vigorous tree in an old seeding orchard OIL
the farm of George w. Bliss, Esq, late of
Calais, where it is supposed to have origin
ated. 1t is a strong grower, of upright habit,
"A good, regular, but not profuse bearer. In
hardness it is at least equal to the Northern
or the Tolman Sweet, In quality and flavor
for the desert it is ranked best by the lovers
of sweet apples in my family. In season
from November to February Or March,"
The specimens came in good ORDER and
we are much obliged to Mr.. Webster fol
them, The apple is of fine yellow, medium
size, oval in shape, and in quality very good,
much better than Tolman for eating out OF
hand We are inclined to think it ought to
be propagated, though if not harder than
Tolman it cannot be fully depended on in
the hardest localities. 1t is matter of regret
that we have as yet no thoroughly hardy
winter sweet apple, since baked sweet ap
pie is luxury not to be thought lightly OF
We are now experimenting with number OF
apples of this class, obtained from Northern
Maine, Wisconsin and Minnesota. One OF
them, "Chase's Winter Sweet" of Siberian
origin, has borne, and is good apple, and g
long keeper, but like all of its class it is
small. One that we have just cut for com
parison with the Calais" is one and seven
eghths inches in diameter.
