In this age Of improvement agriculture
should not be left to come in behind the
other industries. We want TO keep pace
with the world; we want to get out of the
farm all We can and We want 10 do it in
the best and easiest way.
In experimenting To find better wsy to
cultivate crops or try new crops II would
not be wise 10 take large field for the
work, for you might fail the first two or
three times and then your loss would be
considerable. Take single acre, or some
corner that has been allowed To grow up
to weeds from season to season, and here
begin the new work.
There are thousand things about the
farm that may be improved and our far
mers themselves are Just the persons TO
originate and make the Improvements.
Farm and Fireside
ANY man who fsncies that he alone pos
sesses the method OF cultivation, or of man
ufacture needs to listen to and learn from
those who have had practice and experience
in kindred subjects. 1t will be found that
no man monopolizes the knowledge on any
subject; and that each inquiring mind may
learn from another engaged In a similar
direction. Grange and club meetings are
sll-important aids te the diffusion Of valus-
bic information. No farmers duty il COM
plete who does not associate himself with
his neighbors and fellow workers, in local
meetings, for conference and discussion, for
conference and discussion, for comparisons
Of methods and systematic planning for fu-
ture action and results.

As TO the time Tor budding much de-
ponds on the age. condition and location of
the trees-maturity of the buds-the ses-
son, weather, etc. Moist or cloudy weather
is preferred. In Central Virginia, for the
cherry, frsm the middle to the last of Aug
ust; for the peach, September 5, TO . /;
plums from August 10, To 20. No author,
nor any body else, however observant, can
foreteli the proper and exact time for bud
ding, any more than he can say in advance
at what time the farmers wheat crop will
be Just ready for the reaper.
II the growth continues from ten to hf-
teen days after budding, the buds will gen.
orally be we'll established and success ~
cured. The bandages should be lOosened
or entirely removed in ten or fifteen days
after the buds are set, and At the approach
of winter all bandagss should be removed,
a. ice il apt to form about the incision and
iniure the bud.

The Problesn OF Technical Eauca.

[Nature.l
The problem of technical education,
of which so much has been said of late, has
long occupied the attention of thoughtful
men in France and Germany. In the for
mer Of these coutries the question has re-
ceived much more attention than in the
years preceding the war Of 1870. In = re-
cent conference at the Trocadoro Palace;
NJ Carbon, who has labored in the direc-
ton for forty years, urged the introduction
of manual employments and of the practi-
cal teachings of the skilled industries into
the higher schools. He spoke of the good
results which had been found to follow the
establishment of the Municipal School Of
Apprenticeship in Paris. Although found
ed only few years ago, their system OF
teaching has attained high degree OF de-
velOpment; the mechanical trades being
particularly we'll taught. and the pupils Of
the school being in great demand BY mas
ters. Exaup les of the work Of pupils Of
this excellent institution are shown ut the
Paris Exposition.

blerful drank thirty to thirty-six minutes
before eating, for q week or more, has many
times cured severe cases Of letter.
