1t is terrible loss to a tree to allow
branches to obtain large size only to
be slaughtered.
The Springfield Republican call atten-
ton to trait of farmers in which, 1t
thinks. they differ, as regards each other,
from the members of any other guild.
Esch man is esger to show his neigh
Dor any new discovery or acquisition
which he has possessed himself or that Is
likely to help on the business OF farming.
If he thinks he has a good thing ne
wants Others to know about it, whether
it be the result of some successful ex-
pertinent in raising crop, an improved
breed of cattle, or variety of vegetable or
a package of superior seed which has
come from q distance. Apparently ne
does not for q moment entertain the idea
that it would be to his profit to keep
such knowledge or specimens to himself.
And if another farmer comes to see him,
he is pleased to show all his possessions,
and there are no corners OF the place by
which the visitor is hurried because
some experiment is going on there which
the owner does not care to have seen, as
is often the case when visitor makes
the grand rounds of fsctory. Contrast
this habit of the farmers with the wsy
that neighboring merchants and manu-
facturers do their business. Why, when
it was first proposed to connect the paper
mills in Holyoke with their offices in
this city by telephone, objection was at
once raised that the paper makers might
possibly learn each others secrets as a
consequence.

Seth Green's Advice to Anglers.

In letter to the Rochester Express,
Seth Green, who has wide fame as fly
fisher as well as fshculsurist, gives the
following hints to anglers, which are
timely, as the trout season Will soon
open:
4" / am asked s great many times what
is yhe secret of fy-castiDg, or how it is
that 1 take the prize when | throw ?
There are three principles: First, quick
out of water; second, give the line time
to straighten behind you; third, throw.
l will explain these principles more def.
iDitely.
Raise your rod to an angle of about
forty-fve degrees back of you then make
a quick stroke forward make the stroke
without carrying your lod forward.
When you take the line from the water
it should be done with jerk; then give
your line time to stralghten behind f;
then give it the same stroke forward that
you did to get it out Of the water.
Why so many fail in fly casting is,
they throw the rod backward too near
the ground behind them, and when they
make the forward stroke when the line
gets Strengthened out, it is some distance
above the water and links back, and
when it falls upon the water it lies
crooked and is some distance short Of
what it would have been if it had struck
the water as soon as it wa Strengthened
out.
eff fish should strike st your flies st
this time, you are pretty sure to miss
him. By never throwing your rod back
more than on an angle Of tOrty~five de-
grees, and making the stroke forward,
your line goes straight out and the flies
go to the point you desire.
"Great care should be taken when you
have thrown the line behind you that
the line is given time to straighten be-
fore making the stroke forward. l have
thrown seventy feet of line against a
strong wird, first by giving my rod a
quick, strong back stroke, carrying my
rod not further back than an angle OF
forty~fve degrees, and giving the line
time to straighten behind me, and
making the same stroke forward that l
did to get it back of me.
al nearly forgot to mention that it is
more important to have your line fit
your rod than it is to have your coat fit
your back, unless you are a fop, and if
you are, my advice is to not GO fishing.
"YOu may think it strange that !
should tell you three or four times over
in the came article, that in order to do
good fy-casting you must not throw
your rod back only just so far, and then
wait TOR your line to strGighten behind
YOU, and when your rod is up to make
a quick stroke forward, without carrying
your rod forward even little, before
you deliver your line"

SOUTHERN FARM AND HOME.
sni,,nr a Comtng Eecr.siay.


A new departure in the business OF
farming II our country, especially IN
the older portions of it, may be expected
sooner or later, ss like causes produce
the effects. When land was cheaP and
labor dear, labor was economlzed and
land set less store by; now the millions
of our own native population, and the
sugumenting crowds that are gathering
from beyond the sea, admonish us TO re-
verse this policy and use as much labor
a. possible in making the land as pro-
ductive as it is susceptible Of being made.
Nv theme is soiling; or, in other words,
cutting and putting their feed before
cattle, sheep, etc. This implies a revolu.
ton; but the more we consider it in
theory or practice the more it commends
itself as true principle. In its favor
we claim the saving of fence-which
amounts to the heaviest tax the farmer
has to pagan increased belt of land to
till; the prevention of noxious weeds
and briars along fences, an insurance of
cutting down or ploughing under all
circumstances before their seed maturity;
making very large increase Of manureal
material for litter aud absorbing drop
pings from stock; and, most of all per-
hsps, the prevention of loss by cattle
tramping and fouling what they might
eat. We are entirely safe in assuming
that by the soiling system double the
quantity of stock can be kept, and
consequently a great increase OF manure
made to be applied to the hungry soil.
Many reasons might be added to the
above, but the object is to csli attention
to this vital question and induce farmers
TO think it out for themselves. All OBJ
jections urged against its adoption are
trifing compared to the advantages; the
principal one being additional labor,
which is small when fairly considered
the additional hand, perhaps, say eight
months of the year for farm of one
hundred and fifty acres.

BarnstsbIe with his wife, where both sre
now safely lodged in the county Jail
The history of the sect IN the village
OF POcasset is briefly told. Two years
ago q man some sixty years of age, named
Nathaniel Wing. a member of the POcas-
set Methodist Episcopal Church, who
had become imbued with the second
Adventist doctrine through his atten
dance upon a camp meeting near the
fremont railway station in the town 10
Warham, during the summer of 1876,
began to disseminate the peculiar tenets
of thst sect among his fellow members OF
the Methodist society ssof Pocssset. AL
most his first convert was Charles f.
Freeman, then a probationary member
of the Methodist church. Others fol-
lowed him in the new doctrine, until at
present about eight families, numbering
some twenty-five persons, are banded
together in the Advent faith. About a
year ago these people seeded from the
Methodist church and began holding
Sunday services in 8 building used in
the season as q summer hotel, called the
Red Brook house, kept by Gardener
Hathaway, reputed sympsthizer with
them. They also held frequent meetings
on week days in each others houses
Occasionally some of them would attend
the Methodist church, and their actions
in that place of worship were frequently
most scandalous. The clergyman at thst
time was Rev. Daniel NJ. Rogers, who
has Just been transferred to Cochesett,
his place being filled by Rev. Edward
Williams, late of mansfield. The ADJ
ventists would disturb the meeting by
attempting to argue with the pastor and
address the congregation, and one OF
them once, it is alleged, called the pastor
a liar while officiating in the pulpit.
The breach between the two sects be-
came wider and wider, and the feeling OF
opposition correspondingly intense.
Freeman was the most enthusiastic man
in the sect, and the awful proposition to
murder his child has been running in his
mind for two weeks. 1t has eliminated
in one of the most thrilling tragedies ever
prepetrated in eastern Massachusetts,.

THERE are three good aids to the devil

Travelling is Extra Hazardous

If the tourist is unpiOvided with some med
icinal resource. Changes of temperature,
food and water of On unaccustOmed or I'm
wholesome quality, and q route that lies in
the tropics or other regions where malaria
exists. are each and all fraught with danger
to one who sas been implovident enough to
neglect remedial safeguard. The concurrent
testimony of many r0yageurs By land snd sea
establishes the fact that Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters enables those who useit to encounter
hazards of the nature referred TO with i'm
punity; and that, as q medicine adapted TO
sudden and unexpected exigencies, it is Pc
culiarly valuable. Disorders Of the liver, the
bowels and the stomach, fever and ague,
rheumatism and nervous ailments, brought
on by exposure, are among the maladies TO
which emigrsnts, travellers and new settlers
are most subject These and others yield to
the action of the BitJers promptly and come

The Inventor of Champagne,

The wine Of champagne was originally
red, but st the close of the sixteenth
century began to assume ayellowish hue,
and did not much differ from that pros
duced in the adjacent province Of Bur
gundy. In the memorable year 1858 a
certain monk named PerignoD was made
"celerer" of the Beneoictine ebbey of
HaUtvillers, little hamlet on the banks
of the Marine, about five miles distant
from Epernay. No man was better fit
ted for the post be held, and discovery
after discovery rewarded his jealous toll
He was the first to "marry" the produce
of one vineyard with that of another; to
fnd out that g white wine could be made
from the blacklist grapes, which would
keep good instead OF degenerating like
that obtained from white ones and to
substitute cork as q stopper for & bottle
instead Of fax dipped in oil, which had
hitherto been used. No- was this al,
for Just at the close of the seventeenth
century he achieved his final triumph of
making al efervescent wine. Why it
sparkled he did not know tor the con-
nection between sugar end carbonic acid
was as yet undreamt of, but the secret
soon spreSd over the country, until in
1878 the official return of the manUfac-
turers' stocks in the champagne district,
as given by the chamber of commerce at
Reims is 20, 1873, 1853 bottles. 1t is inter-
esting te observe how long ago England
asserted herself against the luscious
taste of other nations. In 1880 NJ.
Meets traveller writes from London a:
How the taste of this country has
changed since ten years sgol Almost
everywhere they ask for dry wine, but
at the same time require it SO vinOus
and so strong that there is scarcely any
other than the wine of Sillery which
can satisfy them" This is maintained
to the present day, for the high>cisss
English buyer rs a rule demands dry
cham psgne; the Russian wine sweet
and strong, and the Frenchman and Ger
man sweet, light wine. The sweetness
is of course added in ali sparkling
wines, except in the case of st. Persy,
whose grapes contain so much already
that any addition would be deleterious
The fertilization should be of genuine
liqueur, consisting of nothing but old
wine of tie finest quality, and tie best
of the "vins bruts" now exported
receive no more than from one to three
per cent. of Geueur. Sparkling hooks
are much less pure, for as much as one
fifth of syrup is sometimes added tC
fOur-ffths of wine; the Moselles, too,
are often scented with elder.fowers fol-
the English market, and, even in them
selves, the sparkling wines OF Germany
possess greater body than the heaviest
champagne, 90 that they canrot be
drunk with equal freedom. Great
Britain alone consumes 2 600, 00G bottles
annually, against 100000 drunk al

The value of q COW depends much more
upon the length of the milking season
than upon the quantity of milk given
for few weeks.
Roll all the grass lanes as soon as dry
enough to get on. One hundred pounds
of land plaster to the acre on the clover
fields will give big money reward.
Worms st the roots of plants can be
sxterminsted by watering with solu-
ten made OF fresh lime Snd water, used
after the lime has settled. 1t will inn
prove the plants.
The National Live Stock Journal very
emphsticslly says: "And every editor
no has three grains of common sense
ought to know that burnt corn is no
more cure for hog cholera than it is for
smallpox. There is no specific for this
disease; and the man who relies upon
any of the nostrdms that are sold, or
any of the sure cures, like the above,
that 90 the rounds OF the papers, will
find himself disappointed"
Orchard grass aud clever should be
.sown together, and as they mature about
the same time, at least two crops year
can be cut from the same ground, MAX
ing an abundance of feed. Guar tity of
seed to the acre, one bushel orchard grass
and one gallon clover seed; time CT sow
ing, IS early in the spring 81 will admit
on the land heavy brush or hgh9 har-
row.
Fresh manure produces but little effect
when applied to crops, but when it is
well rotted it then contains much valu-
able soluble matter, absorbable by plants.
In fresh manure the most important con-
stitutent of its soluble portion is potsEh,
and it contains but small portions Of
ammonia and phosphoric acid. Rotten
manure on the contrary, yields to the
solvent action of water large ameEnts OF
nitrogen and phosphoric seid.
Root crops have done much to redeem
the agriculture of England. The sugar
beet is doing wonders for France. 1t
may be that in the west we ean not stand
the labor necessary for raising and seed
ing roots to our live stock for their nutri-
mem, wktle corn and hay are SC cheap
snd abundant, yet it is possible that SIS q
condlment, and for variety, roots would
pay as well as any crop we can raise.
Have sny OF our readers tsirly tried the |
experiment.
At a recent meeting of the farmers !
club at Mercer, Pa, the following recipe |
for making grating was given: Three |
ounces of tallow, two ounces of beeswax.
one pound of rosin. Melt the taIlow.
then add beeswsx, and then the rosin.
finely powdered and stirred gradually
into the mixture. Work it well, as the
children do their taffy. and put it sway
in convenient pieces. When wanted for
use, put piece in hot water and work
it over, when it viii become plable.
The top of fruit tree, to secure the
best result in color and favor of the
fruit, should be kept open to the admis-
sion of air and sunlight. If some
branches grow too fast for the harmonious
balance of the tree pick out the buds at
the emo and thus force the growth into
the other branches that are not 50
thrifty. Five years of cultivation and
wstchful pruning and you will never
have occasion to remove large branches.
