The Parrot and the Crows.

One beautiful spring farmer, after work
ing busily for several weeks, succeeded in
planting one of the largest fields in corn, but
the neighboring crows committed sad havoc
with it. The farmer, however, not being
willing that the germs of future crop
should be destroyed, determined by either
fair or foul means to drive the marauders
to their nests. Accordingly he loaded his
gun, with the intention of giving them upon
their visit warm reception.
Now the farmer had "a parrot, as laxative
and mischievous as those birds usually are,
and, being very tame, it was allowed its free
dom TO come and go at pleasure. pretty
Poll being lover of company, without
much caring whether good or bad, hoped
over all distractions, and was soon engaged
with the crows in the farmer-lke occupation
Of raising corn.
The farmer, with his gun, sailed forth.
Reaching his corn field, he saw at a glance
the state of affairs (though he overlooked
the parrot). Leveling his gun, he fired, and
with the report was heard the death-scream
of three crows and an agonizing shrek from
poor Poll.
On looking among the dead crows, great
was the farmers surprise to see stretched
upon the ground his mischievous parrot,
with feathers sadly ruff ID and a broken leg.
"You foolish bird" cried the farmer,
this comes of keeping bad company
On carrying it to the house, the children,
seeing its wounded leg, exclaimed:
"What did it, papa-what hurt our pretty

the parrot in solemn voice.
"Ay, that was it," said the farmer. Pol

and received a shot intended for them Re
member the parrots fate, children, and be

With these words the farmer turned
around, and with the aid of his wife baud.
aged the broken leg, and in few weeks
the parrot was as lively as ever, but never
forgot its adventure in the corn-feld.

Skipping the Hard Points.

Boys, want to ask you how you think
conqueror would make out who went
through a country he was trying to subdue,
and whenever ne found fort hard to
take left it alone. Don't you think the
enemy would buzz wild there, like bees in
a hive, and when he was well into the heart
of the country, don't you fancy they would
swarm out and harass him terribly
just so, want you to remember, will it
be with you; if you skip over the hard
places in your lessons, and leave them un-
learned, you have left an enemy in the rear
that will not fail to harass you, and mortify
you times without number.

The student who is not thorough is never

deficiencies makes him nervous and anxious.

Each days work should be planned the
night before. No teacher fully alive to the
Importance Of the work to be done will ever
neglect this point which is 80 essential to
successful day. No matter how simple the
lesson you are to present, you cannot do it
justice unless you come before your class
with full knowledge of what you are going
to do and how you propose to do it. If it is
reading lesson, you should know what is in
it and be prepared, by skilful conversation
and questioning, to lead the class into cor
rect appreciation of it. Coed teachers know
what words of the lesson will be new TO
members of the class and are prepared to
familiarize them with these words. Judi
ciously selected objects are sometimes better
for this than any amount of talking, or, if
you can draw-and every teacher ought to
be able to do something in this line-a few
strokes of the crayon may awaken more in
terest and give clearer ideas than any
amount of oral explanation. But the study
of the lesson alone is hardly sufficient; the
individual members of the class should be
thought of, and the plan be so definite as to
provide for the wants of each as well as for
those of all. Every teacher who is really
anxious to succeed in her calling, who works
for the best interest of her employers how
ever unmindful they may be of these inter
ests, and who has the welfare of her schol-
ars uppermost in her thoughts, will close
each days work with a careful review of its
successes and its failures, and while these
are wildly impressed upon the mind, pre-
pare plan for the coming day. And why
not2 Is this too much to ask of teachers
Is not the cause in which you labor and the
object to be gained worth the pains Is it
demanding any more at your hands than is
required of any person whom the world calls
successful and prosperous Every energetic
business man can tell you that he finds this
necessary. Many a man has failed, and
his business gone to wreck, just because he
neglected to draw from the experience of the
day the elements of the plan for the NOR
row; and teachers can but fail if they neg
lect this, one of the simplest and plainest
elements of business.

The Best Friend.

All good people rejoice when those who
know how to use money have abundant
means. In this community, says the Boston
Transcript, lives lady whose wealth is
large, yet fully equaled by the good she
does. 1t is her special care to provide for
education of the little children of the poor
How the children appreciate her goodness
is shown by the following incident A young
teacher in one of the schools she has estab
lished was talking to the children a few days
ago in this wise You know how in the
fall the tired flowers cuddle up their little
feet, which We call roots, and go to sleep
in the ground. By-and-by, when it grows
cold, the poor little flowers would freeze in
their wide bed, but they have friend who
remembers them aud covers them up with
this thick, white blanket of the snow that
YOU see all around us. How many of you
can tell me who is the best friend of the
sleeping flowers 2" Many eager little hands
went up, and shrill little voice answered,
Mrs. Shaw"

THE RoBIN-The American Agriculurid
puts down the robin of this country as one
of the pests of the garden. Their first dep
relations were on the strawberry beds, where
they devoured fine aud luscious specimens OF
the Monarch of the West, and mutilated
more than they ate. Next the green peas
were scooped out of the pods; then they de-
voured pecks of the early cherries; the cur
rants, which the owner had carefully saved
by putting on hellebore, were next plum
dered by all the robins in the neighborhood;
then the early pears were pecked and pune
tured, and the Delaware and other grapes fed
on till frost. The writer then says 1--WE
hardly know the secret of his popularity, he
is not more beautiful than other birds, and
has no sweeter song" We can inform him
it comes from the use of another birds
trademark-the name of the English robin,
a very different bird closely allied to our
blue-bird, and really amiable little fellow,
whose fame has been spread by old legends
and nursery songs while the American
robin is much like the English blackbird and
belongs to the same genus.

The BOTTLE Greeping.


At the recent meeting Of the Western
New York Horticultural Society, in reply to
call for an expression of opinion as to the
best apples, that old Vermont variety, the
Bottle Greening (Which received its name
because the hired man on the farm where
the variety originated used to keep his bottle
in hollow of the old tree), was highly
praised. The tree was reported to be very
thrifty and fruitful. The apples are not
numerous, and do not grow in clumps, and
on that account are larger and more free
from defects Mr.. Reed said his Bottle
Greetings sold his other apples, and proved
very profitable. c. A. Green thought 1t in
ferior in quality. II. L. Hooker said that
apples do not always sell on their merits.
The Bottle Greening and Cooper's Market,
although second rate, sell well. w. Z.
Barry said the Bottle Greening was grown
extensively years ago, but for some unac-
countable reason has been thrown out Of
late. The fruit was smaller than Rhode
Island Greening, and not quite so good, but
it had brought a high price; its greatest
value consisted in its solidity.

What He Could DO.

"When shall we know that the enemy
has given in 2" asked lad, tailor's APP
prentice, who had run away from his mas
ter and entered the British navy as a COM
mon boy about the year 1880.
"When that flag is hauled down." an
swered the sailor addressed, the ship will
be ours"
"Oh, If that's all, III see what can do"
Now this tailor's boy, when he ran away
from his master, joined ship which had
the good fortune, a few days after he en-
tered the service, to fall in with French
squadron, and a warm action, bravely fought
on both Sides was maintained. After fight
ing for a short time, the boy was impatient
for the result, and addressed the above ques-
ton to sailor. No sooner had he been told
that the withdrawal OF the flag from the
enemy's masthead would be the signal that
the action had been decided, than he deter
mined to " see what he could do"
At that moment the vessels were engaged
yard-arm TO yard arm, and were obscured in
the smoke of the guns. In an instant the
boy mounted the shrouds, passed from the
yard of his own ship to that of the enemy
assembled with agility to the maintopgallant
masthead, struck and carried off the French
flag unperceived, and got back to the yard
arm of his own ship in safety. Before he
could get down to the deck, the British saw
that the flag had disappeared, and shouted
Victory, victoryl' The French crew,
seeing also that the flag had gone, and
thinking that it had been struck by order Of
the admiral, fed from their guns; and, al.
though the officers attempted TO rally them,
the confusion was hopeless. Then the Brit
ish, availing themselves of the opportu-
nifty, boarded the French vessel aud cap.
tured it.
In the midst of the excitement the new
boy came down from the shrouds with the
French flag wrapped round his body, and
displayed it with no little glee to the aston
shed tars. The news spread quickly to the
quarter deck, and the blushing boy was led
into the presence of the admiral, who praised
him for his gallantry and rated him there
and then as midshipman and it was not
long before promotion followed promotion
and the tailor's apprentice was known as
one Of England's most gallant sailors.

No PLACE FOR THEM-Says the Eram-
iner and Chronicle: ave overheard the
other day, man lamenting that there was
no class in this country corresponding to the
gentry of England and the Continent. A
man who desired and was able to live life
of elegant leisure found no place for him
self. Our first thought on hearing this plant
was of the witty retort of the American girl
to supercilious foreigner who remarked
that America had no gentry. What do you
mean by gentry she asked why, a
gentleman is a man who never does any
work, and whose father never did any either.
WE'LL said she, we have plenty of that
kind here, but we call them tramps And
that is precisely what gentry are-wealthy
paupers, educated tramps."

SOWING ORCHARD GRAss.-Orchard grass
is very deservedly coming more into cult
walton every year, and it will perhaps bene-
fit some to be told how to SOW it. 1t should
always be mixed with clover seed. To mix
the seeds properly, put down upon floor
half bushel of orchard grass seed, and
scatter over that one quart of clover seed ;
repeat until you get stout pile, say four or
five bushels. Then mix thoroughly; spread
out upon the floor and sprinkle water upon
the pile, stirring all the time until quite
wet; then mix in plaster or dry ashes until
sufficiently dry to separate when thrown
from the hand. Throw it in bulk till next
morning, when it is ready for sowing.
Taken through this process, it can be sown
with as much regularity as wheat, regard
less of ordinary winds

me it made no difference what the girls said
who thought Maggie quite beneath them be-
cause she was poor and her school bills were
paid by my father and she asked me if
would like to hear what Jesus would say

words, And the king shall answer and say
unto them, Inasmuch as We have done it unto
one of the least of these my brethren, "

Corn AND SORGHUM SUGAR.-Our state
agricultural society has done sensible thing
in approprating $500 for experimentation
in the manufacture of sugar from sorghum
and corn stalks. These experiments are to
be made upon the farm of N. B. Stafford,
Esq, of White River Junction, under the
charge of committee consisting of Mr..
Stafford, Henry Chase, Esq, of Lyndon, and
c. Horace Hubbard, Esq, of Springfield. If
corn stalk sugar can be made a success in
Vermont, it will add a new money crop
which is very much needed among us. We
hope the Sanford corn will not be omitted
| from the varieties to be tested.

ENsILAGE IN VERMoNT.-We learn from
the Vermont Farmer (and, by the way, Mr.
Thayer is making it an excellent paper)
that Mr.. G. f. Griswold of West Randolph
has made an entirely successful experiment
in the ensilage of corn fodder. He made a
stout tank of matched plank, filled it with
fnely-cut Sanford corn-stalks, which were
firmly trodden down, topped over with ten
inches of rye straw, and then covered with
matched boards and heavily weighted with
stones. When opened in December this
was found a little mouldy for few inches
on the top, but the rest was in fine condi.
ton. Cows ate it well and increased in
their milk. Mr.. Griswold will repeat his ex'
pertinent next season on a much larger
scale.

FRUIT AT THE STATE FAIR.-The "old
blood " of our state agricultural society is
certainly warming up, and in proof of the
fact Tin addition to the sugar experiments
proposed), it is going to try and have good
representation of the fruit growing interests
of the state upon its tables next fall, That
able and veteran orchardist, Judge Miller Of
Pomfret, is making Cat the instance of the
society a strong effort in this direction, and
we hope it will be vigorously responded to
all over the state, No state can make bet
ter display of fine fruits than Vermont if we
will all take hold and help.

"Sundry Humbugs."

"CAsEISE SHELLS "-"If any of them had
been at the fair and seen Messrs Whitman & Bur-
rells butter maker make fine graduated butter
in Blanchard factory churn, get ont all n the
buttermilk and caseine shells without working |
at all, and then put in the salt with rolling cyl
inder, they would have seen the folly Of churn |
their butter into two solid leaves in hand Blanch-
ard churn, enclosing nearly all the caseine lells |
and some bnttermilk ; and afterwards in order to |
work out what ought never to have been in, smash |
the grain, and make grease of it 80 far as texture
Is concerned"
Our friend of the Freeman prints the |
above extract from a report of the interna-
tional dairy fair "just to ask Brother Hos.
kins whether the butter globule is encased
in shell of caseine, or whether that theory
as well as the shells is exploded !" and we
reprint it just to ask Brother Tinkham how
he supposes the international reporter Sdw
that butter maker "get out all the caseine
shells" These caseine shells, supposing that
there were any such thing, would require to
be magnifed about 300 diameters, more or
less, to be recognizably visible. Sharp-eyed
indeed, beyond the average reporter, must be
the chap who could undertake to declare as
alooker-on that any butter worker took them
all out Such talk is just on par with Mr..
Hyde's expression of the opinion that "a pig
confined to Jersey skim milk diet will
squeal with hunger from morning till night"
Or with the idea that "saw dust is Just as
good feed as cob meal" Brother Tinkham
knows by personal experience that neither
of these assertions is true, and as he has
given us chance to beat his pig story, we
will say that in the fall Of 1878 we killed a
pig that at eight months dressed 1926 pounds,
having had nothing at all to eat but Jersey
skim milk until eight weeks before killing
The analysis of the laboratory is amply con-
frmatory Of the ruder analysis of the churn
and the cheese vat, to the effect that both as
TO butter and cheese Jersey milk is in the
highest degree rich in nutritive material.
Far from being "poor," it is matter of fire.
quent notice aud remark that Jersey skim
milk is as good as the whole milk of many
common COWS; and as to cobs, though not so
rich in albuminoids as bran, they are richer
in carbohydrates, and, with very little cot
ton seed meal, corn and cobs make as good a
feed for COWS in milk as corn and bran, OF
even corn and oats. Pity so many men
should be sending their guesses to the pa
pers in place of actual knowledge drawn
from experience.
