sion, through this paper, to inform you
that so far as the statement refers to
Mr.. BARRIERS pans, it is utterly false.
We have never made any such state
ment that MI. Barber had throwed
aside his pans and purchased the Iron
Clad Pan.
1t was probably gotten up through
jealousy of our pans, to prejudice you
against us. p.
We will let the pans speak for them
selves as to their superiority. Mr..
Barber was shown the Iron Clad Pan
and we are sorry to say, that ameng
the many men that have examined
both pans he is the only man that fail
ed to or would not see the superiority
of the Iron Clad Pan over the other
Pan. Not excepting the few that have
the Hide Pan. For the benefit Of said
Kenosha Pan Co., we will meet them
at their next Agricultural Fair, or at
any other public place at any time and
compare pans if they wish.

PREPARING WOOL ORMARKET.

Walter Brown & Son of New 7 ork
| city has communicated in the Utica
Herald, upon the preparation of WOO
for market. The snbjoined paragraphs
are taken from it:
The first point considered by the
manufacturer in buying his raw mate.
rial, is the probable cost of the wool
secured, and the nearer the wool is
brought to that condition, when he ex-
amines 1t, the more surely can he cal
culate that cost, and the more willing
" pay the. intrinsic value of such
woods, where the chances, of a mistaken
judgment are diminished, than for
greasy, heavy parcels, on which ii is
more difficult for him to calculate the
loss in shrinkage. I a# mgtaan
Another feature of the case which
the grower should consider, IS, that
with heavy. half-washed fieeces, when
some months elapse before they go in
to consumption, the grease becomes
"set' in the staple, the additional
trouble and expense to the manufac-
Uurer in rendering them clean must
naturally reflect back ON the grower.
In this connection we would mention
that the farmer should not let his
sheep run too long after washing and
before shearing, otherwise the grease

One of our wealthiest and most ex-
perlenced manufacturers has frequent
ly said to us that he would prefer to-
use New York State woods to those OF
Ohio, We're it not for the fact mention

Graduating the grease.
There are woods grown in this State,
IN the eastern part and bordering onI

would particularly mention the woods
OF Dutchess county, which do not need
the name of "Ohlo" to make them APP

FRUIT-GROWING.

In this country Psychological science
has made such progress, and the prac-
tical culture of the finer fruits has be-
come SO general that it would seem as
| if there need be no lack. 1t is a dis
graceful fact that often the most lus-
cious fruits are more easily obtainable
in the city than in the localities where
they are OF may be grown. The rural
population who ought to have the most
and the best of such luXuries, too, Of
ten have least Of all. Before we begin
to talk of glut in the fruit market let
us at least make sure that the 100000
farmers and their families in these
United States have an abundance of
1.-THE choicest varieties in their season.
| The field for missionary effort in this
regard is the largest and most promis-
| ing that the most enthusiastic promo
logist could desire
Apples are the standard fruit, whose
cultivation seems to us almost univer-
sal. They can be grown everywhere.
but memorable statistics prove that
through the whole country less than
one-half, eye, less than one-fifth, of the
rural population are supplied with this
wholesome fruit. Of the most delicate
fruits, pears, peaches, plums, cherries,
grapes, strawberries, raspberries and
the like, not one family in 10000 has
al adequate supply during the year.
Is it not time that this disgrace should
be done away with? The man who
owns or tills the soil is entitled to the
very best that it will produce. If not,
will some one tell us who is? Times
may be hard, but low prices lave af-
fected trees and plants far more seri-
ously than they have the products
which the farmer sells. The unprOft
ableness of ordinary farming should be
a hint to diversity agriculture; to grow
else than the crops which
pay so poorly. The farmer does his
part in growing the food which the
world requires; but let them not neg
Iect to provide the best for his own
household and self.
Possibly the high prices of fruit
which prevailed years ago may not re-
turn, nor is it desirable that they
should. Fruit-growers who under
stand their business, and practice what
hey know, are making more money
han any other class of people the past
,ew years. Fruit culture requires more
kill and intelligence than native
but greater skill and more
)rains are what are needed everywhere.
Where fruit-growing is combined with
arming, the latter is greatly improved
IS the habits Of care and neatness
which the cultivation of fruit necessi-
ates make their impress on everything
which the farmer does.-Rural New

Dear May the sunny days are here,

And though dark trials crowd your ways
Though sorrows chains have bound you,
Your heart must feel the golden rays
That fall to-day around you
How well mind your joyous imirth,
When you and |, together,
Ran free where blossoms had their birth,
All in the summer weather.
seem to hear your laugh 0fIglee-
You thought not of the morrow
1t was such joy to live, and be,
You had no time for SORROW.
But sorrow followed On apace.
And black robes chung around her,
And now too well you know her face
You never sup without her. n
Yet still the sun rides on his track,
And tells his olden story
And still the sunny days come back,
With all their golden glory.
And still Hope your laugh may ring,
In brighter days a coming,
When summer birds shall trill aud sing,
And golden bees be humming. Ii
That joyous spirit of the past,
That cheS rful heart God gaWesyou,
Must reach its native plane at last
Somay he keep and save you.

patriotic cause are invited. There can be no
objection to coming ia civic bodies, as Ma
