Judge NJ alIOry as Civil Service Re
rnner.

Judge Mallory is great stickler for civil
service reform, but unfortunately does not
practice what he breaches. He says that
the time of an official is not his own, but
belongs to the people from whom hereceives
pay fo- his services. Mallory is paid by the
people of Milwaukee FIVE or six thousand
dollars per annum for acting as Police
Judge. Acc ording to his own theory, he
should be at home attending to his business,
and earning the money which he draws
from the public treasury. For the past
three weeks, as he stated in his speech
Monday evening, he has been absent from
his post of duly, and giving the lie to all
his Professions in favor of civil service re-
form. We suspect that Mallory, politically
is a by pocrite and fraud.

The Potato Crop.

Everywhere large yield of potatoes is re-
ported with an extra breadth planted. In
Maine it is said that at least ten thousand
acres more than usual were put in. Already
the price of new potatoes in the cities is
quoted down to dollar and twenty-five
cents per barrel and lower.
This immense crop will not net the pro-
ducers much, if any more, than the cost OF
handling it, thus making all that it takes
out of the land total loss. And here let
us urge our readers who are able to get
along without selling their potato crop, to
keep it and feed it out to their stock, rather
than to let it go for any price lower than
thirty cents bushel. The potato is worth
half as much as average hay, weight for
weight, to feed 10 stock, and by feeding it
the large quantity of mineral salt, and es-
pecially potash, which the potato extracts
from the soil, will be returned in the ma
nure-if the urine is saved. 1t is shame
to sell this exhaustive crop off the farm
if it can possibly be avoided, when the price
is below cost of production. And allowing
for its exhaustive effect upon the land, we
cannot see that there is ever profit in SELL
ing potatoes at less than thirty-fve cents a
bushel, and in many cases, at less than fifty
cents.
In one point of view the great production
of potatoes will be a benefit to the country.
In this time of general depression nothing
will have greater influence on the revival
of business than cheap food. The extra de-
mand for wheat, consequent on the Russo
Turkish war, bids fair to make bread dear,
but plenty of corn and potatoes will reduce
the home demand for flour, and act as a
baance-wheel upon the market. The mil.
lions will be cheaply fed, and the low wages
that must prevail, even when work comes
for all, make it necessary that food should
be cheap. If the farmer "pays for al" il
may serve to remind him that eternal Wig
lance is the price of liberty" and that il
will never do to let the politician, the spec
ulator and the gambler rule the country as
they have been ruling it for the past few
years.

NOT GLUCOSE. THE erroneous state
ment put forth by the Scientific Farmer to
the effect that maple sugar is not the same
as cane sugar, but is the same as grape sugar
or glucose, is still on its travels. We find it
last in the Maine Farmer, credited to an
" exchange" for which no doubt our Chat
ham street friends will be thankful. "Glu-
cose,' or grape sugar, is a saccharine sub
stance about half the sweetness of cane or
maple sugar, which is distinguished by the
chemists as saccharose." In composition,
these sugars differ only in the proportions of
their carbon to the hydrogen and oxygen
(water) they contain. But this apparently
slight variation makes great difference in
their economic value, or sweetening power.
AS an illustration of the identity of cane
and maple sugar, it may be stated that, ow.
ing to the high price of sugar the past sea
son, many tons of low grade maple sugar
have been bought by the refners to be con-
verted into white sugar.

Macy sighed, and scarcely knew what it was
best to do with her little daughter, whom
she had given to God as soon as she was
born, and had prayed him daily to make his
own child. And now she was tired of say

years old and the mother asked gently:
And does my little Alice feel willing to
go to bed without thanking her heavenly
Father for taking care of her all day 7"
Alice laughed, and kissed her mother on

ORCHARD GRAss.--We desire to say
word for this too little known grass. For
three years past we have seeded with
clover and orchard grass instead of timothy,
and have found it so luxuriant and nutri-
tious, both for grazing aud hay, that we can
hardly praise it enough. There is no known
grass that starts so quickly when cut or
grazed, none that starts earlier in the spring,
suffers so little from drouth, or holds out
later in the fall. 1t holds its own in the
ground, so that fields eight years seeded
show no diminution in the crop, and cattle
prefer it above any other grass for pastur-
age. 1t is as leafy as June grass, and will
grow more in day than June grass will
grow in a week Try it, and seed heavy,
not less than two bushels of seed to the acre.

Up with the birds In the early morning
The dcw-drop CLOVIS like precious gem;
Beautiful tnts In the skies are dawning,
But she's never moment to look at them.
The men are wanting their breakfast early;
She must not lnger, she must not wait;
For words that are sharp andlooks that are surly
Are what men give when meals are late.
oh, glorious colors the clouds are turning,
II abe would but look over hills and trees;
But here are the Dishes and here Is the churning-
Those things always must yield to these.
The world Ia filled with the wine Of beauty,
II she could but pause and drink II I'M
But pleasure, she says must wait for duty
Neglected work Is committed sim
The day grows hot, and her hands grow weary
oh, for an hour to cool her head,
out with the birds and the winds so cherry
But she must get dinner and bake the bread.
The busy men in the hay field working.
II they saw Ii r sitting with idle hand,
Would think her lazy, and call 1t Sinking,
And she never could make them understand.
They do not know that the heart within her
Hungers for beauty and things subnei
They only know that they want their dinner
Plenty Of it-and just on time"
And after the sweeping and churning and baking,
And dinner dishes all put by,
She sits and sews, though her head is aching,
Till time for supper and chores" draw nigh.
Her boys at school must look like Others
she says, as she patches their frocks and hose;
For the world is quick to censure mothers
For the least neglect Of childrens clothes.
Her husband comes from the field Of labor;
He gives no praise to his weary wife;
shes done no more than has her neghbOr;
'ris the lot Of all in country life.
But after the strife and weary tussle
with life il done, and she lies at rest,
The nations brain and heart and muscle
Her sons and daughters-shall call her blest
And think the sweetest Joys of heaven,
The rarest bliss of eternal life,
And the farest crown of all will be given
Unto the way-worn farmers wife. --Bdsdr

The New England Farmer says earnestly :;
"If by any words of ours, we could convince
the farmers of New England that they
should and could cut their hay, on an aver
age, ten days earlier every year than they
now do, and could induce them to act ac-
cordingly, we believe we should do them a
greater service than if we paid their state,
town aud county taxes This is a strong
statement, but we believe it is true. But
here is one much stronger. Mr. j. G. Sher-
burne, in a paper read last winter at the
town hall in Pomfret, before the Vermont
State Board of Agriculture, gave utterance
TO the following startling words After
careful consideration knowing the unsur-
passed excellence of early.cut hay, | make
this statement without hesitation if the
entire hay-crop of the state could be secured
at the best possible time, its value, when fed,
would exceed the worth of the hay now OBJ
tanned, together with all the grain raised in
the state, which is fed in connection with
the hay.'"

A New Apple.
years.

Among the dozen or so of new Russian
apples, the scions of which were sent to us
from the Department of Agriculture in 1870,
but three have yet come to bearing. One of
these is named, in the circular accompany
ing the scions, "Yellow Transparent" or
in Russian, " SktooSnoi lSchotOi," (No. 33i.)
This is an extremely early bearer, giving
fruit the third year from grating or seed
ling root, and is now bearing its third crop,
consisting of over bushel. The tree, not
withstanding its productiveness, is a free
grower, being now some eight feet high. 1t
is also an erect grower, and bears its fruit on
that it can carry heavy crop when small
without breaking down. Though so full of
fruit that there seems to be more apples
than leaves, yet the branches are not bent
down at all.
In size the Yellow Transparent apple is a
full medium, round-ovate in form, straw
yellow in color, with an extremely melting,
juicy flesh of delicate sub-acid, but not very
high flavor. 1t is very fair uniform in size,
and its chief merit in our eyes, aside from
its perfect hardness and early and abundant
bearing, is that it is the earliest dessert APP
pie we know. 1t begins to come into eating
by the first of August, and the bulk of the
crop is just now august 10y ripening up. 1t
will not keep long, soon becoming mealy and
cracking open after reaching maturity But
for home apple, or to sell direct to consuln-
ers in near market, it cannot be surpassed,
and its waxen beauty and fairness, together
with its acceptable flavor will make it a
favorite wherever grown. 1t Is about two
weeks earlier than Tetofsky, and if it had
been introduced first we doubt if the Tet-
ofsky would ever have been heard of. Yet
the Tetofsky is not to be despised, and we
are glad that we have both.
