Of that course to the farmers and stock own

dard Of such exhibitions, while some of the
papers were of superior merit. The farmers
attended to their own business without at
tempting any of those unwse attacks on
corporations and capitalists in which hot
headed but not well balanced persons some
times engage. The farmers Of Caledonia have
very clear and accurate ideas as to the place
and duties of these several classes of human
society, and when they assemble in these
agricultural meetings they keep their own
place aud attend to their own business, which
is more than can be said Of some in other
callings in life. We may close by suggesting
to farmers in other counties, or even towns.
the propriety Of holding such meetings each
year or winter--it is not too late now; we
only wished room could have been secured
in which we could have had exhibits Of winter
butter, wool and some such things to awak-
en- a fresh enthusiasm for tho September fair.

Green Crops.

Green crops to pillow under, are in many
places largely raised and are always benef-
cial. The plants most used in this country
are clover, buckwheat and peas. These
plants have very long roots, which they send
deep into the soil, to draw up mineral mat
ter for their support. This mineral is matter
deposited in the plant. The leaves and stems
receive carbonic acid very largely from the
air and from water. In this manner they
obtain their carbon When tho crop is
turned under the soil it decomposes, and the
carbon as well as the mineral ingredients OBJ
tanned from the subsoil, are deposited in the
surface soil, aud become Of use to succeed
ing crops.
Although green crops are Of no benefit,
and are managed with little comparative la
Dor, the results may be more economically
produced. A few loads of prepared muck
will perhaps do more towards increasing the
organic matter in the soil than buckwheat or
peas, while it would bo ready for immediate
cultivation, instead of having to lie idle dur
ing the year required in the production and
decomposition Of the green crop. The effect
of the roots penetrating the subsoil Is in ia
vor of green crops, as it draws up inorganic
mater within the reach OF future crops.
In farming, where the object of the cul-
tivator is to make a profitable investment Of
labor in short time, muck will be found
the most expedient, having been previously
prepared but if the farmer have large
quantity of land, and can afford but limit
ed amount OF labor, the raising of green
crops to be ploughed under in the fall is far
the best.
In many cases where heavy manuriug is
practiced, it is best to apply organic man.
ures to the soil in a green state, turning
them under and allowing them to undergo
decomposition in the ground The advan-
tagcs of this system are that theIheat result
ing from the chemical changes, will hasten
the growth of plants by making the soil
warmer the carbonic acid will be present
ed to the roots, instead Of escaping into the
atmosphere and if the soil be heavy the
rising of the gases will tend to loosen it, and
the leaving vacant of the spaces occupied by
the solid matter, WILL on their being resolved
into gases, render the soil of more porous
character. AS general rule, however, in
ordinary farming, where the amount of
manure applied is only scfiicient for the sup
ply of food for the crop, it is undoubtedly
better to have it previously decomposed, for
the uses of the plants, as they can then OBJ
tain the required amount of nutriment as
fast as needed.

how stainless his domestic, social and busi-
ness career, so soon as he dares to meddle
in questions vital TO the best interests Of his
own and succeeding generations, he is in
stantly made the butt Of insidious inuendos,
abusive denunciation or fragrant falsehood.
Owing to this pernicious practice many
men Of assured position and acknowledged
capacity, sensitively shrink from taking the
active part in political life for which their
education, ability and experience admirably
fit them, while coarser and less scrupulous
souls are thus left broader field for the
exercise Of their peculiar talents. Praise or
blame to produce any results but evil, should
be judiciously bestowed; and denunciatiens,
however bitterly lavishod on political turpi-
tude, forfeit their force when only an inter.
lude in an indiscriminate TRADE of vitupera-
ton. It is an evil hour for any nation when
the men who rule its dOstinies lose the res.
pect of the thoughtful, and incur the sus.
picion, reproach, or contempt of the masses
yet this is the hour which thousands Of irrc-
sponsible writer's, cursed with access to the
eolumns of partisan journals, are blindly do
ing their utmost to bring speedily upon us

Sheep and Wool.

1t appears from statistics gathered by the
national bureau at Washington that Ohio
was formerly the leading state in the pro-
duction Of wool, but at present California
occupies that position; also that forty per
cent of the Hocks Of sheep in the country
are west Of the Mississippi, IL being only
twelve per cent. in 1860, and Mr.. Dodge
suggests that if this increase long continues,
the western segment Of the continent will
have the larger proportion of the sheep of
the land. OF the sheep in the world, Russia
has City, the United States thirty.six, Great
Britain thirty-6ve, Germany twenty-nine,
France twenty-six, Spain twenty-five, Aus
tria Hungary twenty-one, South America
and Mexico tifty-eight, Australia sixty,
Africa thirty.two million each. The grand
total in the world is estimated at 5S4,750,-
900, sheariug l, 926, 6,75O,OOO pounds of wool
OF those in the United States California has
G,750,000, Ohio 4,546,6O0, and Vermont
490,500. 1t seems clear to us that our
state must turn its attention to the quality,
rather than TO the quantity of its sheep pro.
ductions. The fame of our thorougbreds
has gone out into all the land, and the world
knows that for purity Of blood the Merino
6ocks Of Vermont are unsurpassed, and now
let us maintain that proud position which
has been secured by long continued pains
taking efforts. In other breeds there should
be the same care and patience exercised as
has been in respect of the Merinos, so that
their superior quality shall command an
extra price just as Franklin county butter
has done. In the mere matter Of cheapuess
and quantity the West can outstrip us, but
so long as there are people who want fine
article and are willing to pay reasonable
price Vermonters may find a market for
such farm products as they can raise, if they
will but take the necessary pains. Farming
in the future in this state is to be more
matter Of brains than it has been our old
hap-hazard way Of doing things must pass
away as the West with fertile soils can out
strip us in that line of business; in Vermont
it must be skill, care, study-iu word
brains must assert their dominion over nature
or profitable farming must be abandoned 10
New England, and especially in Vermont,
with no large cities in our midst or near at
hand. Our farmers have the brains the prob.
lem is whether or not they will make the
best and largest use Of them.

sist them. Six or eight Of these dark colos-
sal giants will be found to be about as
many as the average mortal will be able 10
attack at one time. The plants are found
to be less hardy than the Kttatinuy, though
they can generally be protected without
much trouble during the winter, as the canes
Of Wilson's are more slender, and can be
bent down and kept in place upon the
ground. In places south Of New York city
even this is not necessary
TIE SNYDER.
This new conner gives promise Of being
very cordially received in places where the
winters have been found too severe for the
other large varieties of blackberries, as it is
now considered to be winter proof, or per-
fectly hardy. The plants have proved very
productive, and though the berries are ex-
celled in size by the other varieties men,
toned, yet their good quality and fine flavor
will cause them to be duly appreciated.
Less care is required in growing the
blackberry than many suppose. 1t is too
often the case that too much attention is
paid to it. Either the ground is enriched
too much, or an excess Of cultivation is be.
slowed. Strange as it may seem the plants
can be killed by kindness, while if neglected
they will thrive. A small plot 20 or 30
feet square, or one or two rows a hundred
feet long will give a fine supply of this de.
licious fruit for an ordinary sized family.
The plants may be set out early in the spring
in rows seven or eight feet apart, and plants
three or four feet apart in the rows, or in
hills five or six feet apart each way. When
such treasures as these can be obtained so
easily and so cbcaply, let no one allow the
season Of IT to pass by without devoting a
little space to a blackberry plantation.
When set out on large scale they will
usually prove very desirable source Of
profit. In nearly all villages and towns the
fruit will bring from Is to 25 cents quart
making crop of from 40 to so bushels
per acre to represent very handsome sum.

BEST THOUGHTS AND DIsCOURsEs OF D. L.
MOODY as delivered in Chicago, Brooklyn and En-
laHd.-N. Tibbais 4 Son, NeV York. PIP. 29s.
Those who have read Beechor's Life
Thoughts on the Beauties of Ruskin, will
understand the manner in which il is gotten
up. So far rs we have examined it, the Sc
lection of striking passages IN Mr.. Moody's
sermons, his telling thrusts, his happy hits
and pertinent illustrations are well made,
and these are the valuable things often in
his discourses. As sermonizer, compared
with such a man as Phillips Brooks, of
course Mr.. Moody has no rank, but by his
devout study of the Bible, his keen, native,
ready wit, his wide aud accurate observation
of the phases of human life and the work.
ings of "human nature" together with q pro-
found Christian experience render his prao
teal interpretations of scripture often very
pertinent and intensely practical This book
is one which any Christian might read with
profit, not Through" at ono or two sittings,
like the young lady who read the dictionary,
but paragraph or two ut intervals between
house or out-of-doors work. In this way the
book may render valuable aid toward the
growth of Christian character in many peo-
pie which other books would not be likely to
secure. 1t has portraits of both Moody and
Sankey.

LAWS OF VERMONT, lg7o.-Tun,e and Co., Rut-

This volume of nearly 500 pages has been
on our table several weeks waiting for "a turn
ut the critics pen. This and the preceding
volumes of the state work from Messrs.
Tuttle &c Co. should give great satisfaction
to the state, as the work is well done, and
on n superior quality of paper, we learned
last fall by having n respectable job in which
we were interested going through the press
simultaneously with the state work, and to
our surprise found it on this well sized and
calendared paper, q more expensive article
than the contract called for, but our good
luck, and the states also, was through an
error of the paper manufacturer. We con-
gratulate the state on its good fortune in
that respect. We thought in looking over
the reports that the work might have been
more compact and each volume been small
er, but found on inquiry that tho Messrs.
Iuttle were complying with the contract and
of course no blame could attach to them,
though we may suggest that in the future n
little more compactness would comport well
with economy and the modesty of our state,
but is the seci etary of states business and
not the printers; they bid for n specific kind
of work and did it according to contract as
honest men would, and we commend them
for it, and we congratulate the state on the
general excellence of its printing, on tho
thoroughness and promptness with which 1T
WIS uOIc llu we JuO proper 1u-
thorities were satisfied with the work.
OF these laws some will stand on the stat
ute book and be of no special Importance to
any one; others will exert quiet, almost
imperceptible, but modifying influence on
opinion and conduct, while others still will
take prominent stand and be the target of
all manner of spite and hostility on the one
hand, but revcrent worship on the other.
Thus the dog law" many will like, few
hate, but the nuisance law" will stir up
most passion and spite, rs the devil and his
numerous human progeny ego" for such laws
rs make Tor peace and purity, pros
perty and good will among men. 1t is one
of the laws which Providence leads into be-
ing for the sake, we suppose, of making the
votaries of sin, and the pretended friends of
virtues unwittingly show to the world their
real colors. Then there are other and nu-
merous laws which taken together show
about the average wisdom of our legislature
n body which has "gone into history with
colors flying and all hands on board in good
spirits. These laws compared with previous
issues show steady advance of the temper
ance cause, the growing interest in educa-
tion; the influence of broader and more
correct views of public policy; more clear
and definite apprehension of the agricultural
and industrial interests of our state, rs well
rs the general social and material progress
which it is making.

size and finally they will disappear by absorp-
tion. In somc cases it requires a surgical
operation to remove the dropsical secretions.
The chief remedy for all these difficulties are
thorough and firm bandaging, rest of the ami
NAL, frequent rubbing and cold lotions, as
the great point TO be secured is an abate-
meut Of the inflammation, the healthy, nor.
NAL circulation of the blood, and stop to

Farmers and Partisans.


The owners Of the soil have permanent
interest in the welfare Of the country that
contains it, This depends, not on the fate
Of any faction, but on the general prosperity
Of the nation. The agricultural press, as the
representative Of this class, should, therefore,
impartially deDounce all evils that endanger
this prosperity, and among these not the
least, in its demoralzing tendency, bipartisan
intolerance.
The chief instigators and fomentors Of this
evil are the conductors of the partisan press.
With them, liberty of the press is prostituted
into license to vilify every man, either in
their own neighborhood or the nation at
large, influential enough to injure the fac
tion they have espoused or to benefit that
they have seen fit to oppose. II matters
little how honorable his previous reputation,

HoME.-There are so many ways in which
father may contribute to a happy home
life that it seems strange the number Of
houses should 80 greatly exceed the homes.
1t takes so little to make children happy at
home that it is a wondrous pity 50 many lit
tie ones are miserable, or uneasy, or discon-
tented. II for an hour after the evening
meal the father should give himself to his
children, would the mother wear out so fast,
or the children be so lawless, troublesome
and uncomfortable What q ministry for
good to both parties is papa's frolic with
the babies What an interest is added to
the books, the drawings, the games, or even
the studies, if father enters into them What
boy will sly off to play surrcptitious games
with his mates If his father takes hand at
whist or euchre with him around the eve
ming lamp-with mother for partner or spec
tator How much it lightens the drudgery
OF piano practice for the daughter if papa
calls for and praises her efforts 1t is strange
that with such sweet companionshp, such
pure affection, such unsel6sh enjoymeEt,
such natural happiness, as may be had with
the children, men do not give more time to
their homes.-Golden Rule.

EDUCATED FARMERs.-Just in proportion
to the successful cultivation Of the soil is
the aggregate prosperity Of the human fam
lily augmented. As agriculture is the foun-
dation Of all success 10 every department Of
business, how important then that it should
be studied and understood by those engaged
therein 1t was the first vocation to which
man was called by the voice Of his Maker
to till the soil, and it is yet the highest and
noblest profession on earth among men. IL
is not only above Others but it underlies and
sustains all others, and all others acknowl'
edge their dependence upon lt.-SOuthern
Industries.
