NEWSPAPERS AND THEIR
READERS.

There are people who are loyal SUBJ
scribers, and who would not miss their
paper more than they would their break
fast, who feel no interest in the political
or general news, nor in the discussions
of topics, or local items, but care only
for the marine intelligence. We have
heard a young man remark that he saw
no use in newspapers at all. he felt no
interest in them except the marriages
and deaths, and a card with these would
be all that he should ask for, and yet he
bitterly complained that the carrier had
missed him one morning. One old lady
complains that there are not enough love
stories in her paper one reads only the
items, and another calls them sawdust,
and studies the longer accounts of events.
One man never reads an editorial article,
and another gathers all his notions of
political and social events from the edi-
torial discussion of these. In a newspa-
per, great or small, very widely varied
taste has to be considered. and in pleas
ing the public the journalist can hardly
hope to please any individual.
There is a general tendency to criticise
the truthfulness and the morality of
newspapers. If story is doubtful, it is
newspaper lle," and yet there is no
respectable journal which is not more
careful in its statements of facts. than
men of honor and honesty are in their
ordinary conversation. The responsible
ity of publicity is great restraint, and
the account one gets in the newspaper is
generally more truthful than that of an
ordinary eyewitness. and sometimes than
the facts as arrived at in court of law
The papers criticise each other severely
and are check upon each other. Their
morality is necessarily up to the average
and is actually above the average public
sentiment. The best newspapers can be
taken into any family with advantage t.
the morals and education of young people
of the household. The precepts of the
minister delivered from his pulpit are
weakened by the consideration that it i.
his trade to inculcate good morals, bu
the secular journal makes no pretention
of the sort, and its assumption of gen
eral high tone of moral sentiment as /;
matter of course among its readers is ,
powerful stimulus to the prevalence o
such standard. The newspaper is
great educator, not only of the young
but of the whole people, the influence o
such a body of Intellectual men, will
such great audiences as they have, can
not fail to be great. and the character o
the writer's is equal to that of any pro
fession. 1t has greatly improved owe
what it was in the infancy of journalism
and now will not suffer by comparison
with that Of any body of men.-Neac

The Manchester Mirror has the fol.
lowing on the method of killing potato
bugs: "The only sure and safe way of
killing potato bugs, in our judgment. is
by the use of Paris green. We do not
believe it Injuries the potato one particle.
The reason why are very clearly given
by all our leading chemists, and are
most lucidly stated by DR.. Boynton.
The best method, the simplest and
quickest we know of is that used by
Charles s. Durgin Of this city, on his
fathers farm in Bedford with great sue
cess last year He uses twenty pounds
of middlings and one pound of Paris
green mixed together. to the acre. He
takes an old-fashiOned large sieve, puts
handle to it, fills it with the mixture,
and when the dew is on and no wind
blowing holds it over the hill with one
hand, taps it with the other, and is able
to 60 over an acre in about two hours
The middlings stick to the vines better
than anything else he ever tried, and
poison enough gets into the circulation Of
the tops to lay the bugs on their back;
forever in double quick time. He apple,
it three times,-when the first brood
appears, and in from two to three week:
when the second crop arrives, and agar
when the last brood makes its appear
ance. By his estimate, about two dol
lars expense and two days work will
clear every acre of potato bug. and keel
the crop up as large as if there had no
been any. We know of great man,
other farmers that kill potato bugs, per
haps as surely, but no one who has sys
tematized the work so that it can b
done as easily as by Durgin's method.

WHAT is INCLUDED IN A FARM
DEED.


At a recent meeting of the Massachu-
sets Board of Agriculture. Judge Ben
nett stated in an address what deed of
a farm includes:
OF course, he said. every ono knows
it conveys all the fences standing on the
farm. but all might not think it also in
cludes the fencing stuff, posts, rails, etc.,
which had once been used on the fence,
but had been taken down and piled up
for future use again in the same place.
But new fencing material just brought
and never attached to the soil would not
pass.
So piles Of hop poles stored away, if
once used on the land, have been con-
Sidered part Of it; but loose boards or
scaffold poles laid loosely across the
beams of the barn and never fastened to
it would not be, and the seller of the
farm might take them away.
Standing trees, of course, also pass as
part Of the land so do trees blown down
or cut down and still left in the woods
where they fell, but not cut or corded
up for sale \; the wood has then become
personal property. $500 .4
If there be any manure in the barn.
yard, or in a compost heap on the field
ready for immediate use, the buyer ordi-
narily takes that also as belonging to
the farm; though it might not be so if
the owner had previously sold it to some
other party, and collected it in heap
by itself.
Growing crops also pass by deed of a
farm unless they are expressly reserved,
and when it is not intended to convey
those it should be stated in the deed
itself; mere oral agreement to that
effect would not be valid in law.
Another mode is to stipulate that pos
session is not to be given until some
future day, in which case the crops OIL
manure may be removed before thai
time.
AS to the buildings on the farm
though generally mentioned in the deed
it is not absolutely necessary that they
should be.
A deed of land ordinarily carries al
the buildings to the grantor, whethe
mentioned or not and this rule include
the lumber and timber of any old build
ing which has been taken down or blow
down, and has been packed away 70
future use on the farm.
But if there be any buildings on tn
farm built by some third person, wit
the farmers leave, the deed would no
convey these, since such buildings ar
personal property, and do not belong t
the land owner to convey.
The real owner thereof might NOV
them of, although the purchaser of tn
farm supposed he was buying and pay
ing for all the buildings on it. Hi
only remedy in such case would
against the party selling the premises.
As part of the buildings conveyed
of course, the window blinds are incluC
ed, even if they be at the time taken o
and carried to painters shop to b
painted. 1t would be otherwise if the
had been newly purchased and brougt
into the house, but not yet attached {
fitted to it.
Tightening rods also go with the hOu;
if farmer is foolish enough to hay
any on his house.
A furnace in the cellar, brick or por
able, is considered part of the hous
but an ordinary stove with loose PHI
running into the chimney is not.

Pulverized alum possesses the proper
ty of purifying water. A large spoon
full stirred into hogshead of water will
so purify it that in few hours the i'm
purities will all sink to the bottom, and
the water will be fresh and clear. Four
gallons may be purified by a teaspoon
full of alum.

Poultry needs far more care during
damp, rainy, or wet weather than dur
ing the dry, warm weather of summer
or the clear cold of winter, for dampness
engenders numerous disorders, many of
which are difficult to cure. therefore it
is always better to apply the preventive
than to administer supposed cure.
