Some of our friends were inclined to

ing to this cold, unfriendly world. Below
we give the Ohio TURNER'S report Of the
situation in that state:
FRosrs.-Reports from sevcntv-fve OF
more points in Ohio and Indiana, indicate
that considerable damage has been done
to some of the fruits and early vegetables
by frost. during the last cold " snap.

"Wednesday the wind is still in the north

TIMOTHY WHEELER.
Waterbury Center, VT. May 20, rs
Mr. Wheeler will pardon us for saying
We think he makes a mistake. People
generally who have things to say, say
hem, and especially do people expect
Them to do So, when they let it be known
in so public II manner as through the press
hat they have made some important i'm
provement or some interesting discovery.
And we think Mr.. Wheeler wrongly at
tributes The lack of responses to lack of
interest in the subject, which should more
correctly be placed in their expectation to
see more of the matter in print as soon us
Mr.. Whet Ter thought proper 10 send it out.
This much is true-we personally expect
ed this, as may be seen from our remark
in the first notice, MIR. Wheeler, tell us
how it is done"
Another reason may be-that in absence
of any definite knowledge of what his
theory or system is, and the prevalence
formerly of such ideas, now generally dis
ca ded, that the moon has an important
Influence on the growing of crops, the
determining of the weather, ETC., that
some may think it might have some such
foundation as this, and so wait for further
knowledge before they feel a great interest
in the new theory, though they may have Il
lively interest in the subject.
If Mr.. Wheeler's theory is satisfactory
o himself it will very likely satisfy other
people; if not, he will hear of it fas
enough by explaining it through the pr.
pers-and we cheerfully offer him our col.
umns for that purpose-and then he will
get other peoples ideas and experience
and all the readers hear all sides. Again
we repeat, Mr. Wheeler, tell us how it i.
done.

WoopMAN SPARE THE MAPLE TREE

Vermont is emphatically the maple sugar

piece of land well stocked with sugar

might enjoy The benefits. To-day may be
seen north and east, for many miles
around Montpelier village, sugar orchards
composed almost entirely Of what is term
ed first-growth maple. Generations of
men have arisen and disappeared. hut
those trees sill spread their lofty branches
and bid fair TO yield their delicious sweets
for generations to come, and well do the
present occupants of those old llomesteads
know how to beuatify and improve those
primeval forests.
Equally beautiful, if not as majestic, are
the maple groves So common in Vermont
No Vermont farm is complete without II
sugar orchard. would sooner dispense
with an apple orchard. What if it don't
pay to make maple sugar at the present
market price? The delicious maple honey
and clean white sugar we use upon onr
own tables is above all price. and Then the
consciousness of having made it ourselves,
without the necessity and expense of bring
ing it from alar enhances its value. |

but wise farmers know that produetiveness
depends more upon the soil than upon any
special kind of seed. Wheat must have
its own peculiar food, and if not found in
the soil il must be restored in the ferlili-
ger. Careful farmers take pains to clean
their seed, and to wet it in strong brine or
a solution of the sulphate of copper.
