FAMINE IN IRELAND.
The Kind ola Man Tippct Is.
a IL. ME-. tp...sl.1,r

From the n, Pleasant Rssiiter.
Day after day, hour aiterhour the most
dire, distressing and appalling tidings
reach us regarding the mistortunes OF Ire.
land in its present calamity. We do not
propose to give along article on the lamen-
table state of things as they now exist.
Our sympathy, our ability as editor, our
tender vibrations Of humanity, long ago,
have been moved; but before We would
publicly express our thoughts, We waited
with patience for the most opportune and
seasonable time, and now, We think that
time has arrived. Whilst last summer,
more or less, on the beautiful Ohio, we
suffered from the want OF water, the peo:
Die in Ireland were deluged, over flooded
and swamped, and hence all their crops
perished, and thus without anything Of
culpability on their part, they are now
without bread to eat. Such, 1t Is evident,
was, and is the will OF our muniticent
Creator, and obey His eternal will we
ought.
We'll, now, what are we West Virgin:
ians, whose generosity is probyerbial and
spoken OF "all over the world" why
stand idle whilst our friendly Ireland ID
famine stricken and in destitutionl Come
forward, o State, and let US organize q
State fund, and in the name OF our State
forward it at once to relieve the demands
Of suffering humanity. To the eternal
credit OF Rev. T. II. Lacy, OF Christ Pro
testant Episcopal Church, Of our town,
this noble work OF Christianity has been
already started. He is truly the good
Samaritan. Ireland Is by its inheritance
and birth.right, Catholic, but when the
good Samaritan between Jerusalem aud
Jericho, found the poor man wounded
and bruised, weltering in his blood, he
never asked him, are you Catholic
or u Protestant? Are you an Episcopa
lian, Baptist or Methodist? Are you ar
American or Frenchman? No, no, but
because he was made in the Image ant
likeness" OF his bountiful Creator ht
took caro- OF him; and our Savior added
"Go, and do thou likewise and thou shall
live for all eternity with God in heaven
We, therefore, request In the name o
the depressed and oppressed sufferers o
Ireland, that The press OF the State take
up, and TO the fullest extent agitate THU
question for the well.being OF society and
the relief Of suffering and starving human
ity. On our part, poor as we are, We viii
omen the State subscription with Ter
Dollar bill. Let our State and State pa
pers show the world, not for bravo, tina
we are alive and commisserate the de
mands, wants and cravings OF distressed
oppressed and starving people.

Oats as Fodder.

c. S. p. of Warren asks; care oats cut
when the grain is in the milk better feed
than good hay, as some claim If so, what
is the object in letting them mature, and be
to the expense of threshing them and grind
ing the grain to feed to cows ?" From the
analyses we have seen, aud from practical
experience we should say that good thrifty
oats cut in blossom are equal to good hay
But if the oats are allowed to form seed
and get full in the milk, most of the nutri
ment will be found in the grain when cured
and the straw will be proportionaly poor
Oats hayed at that time, and cut fine, will
be all eaten up by cows, aud be just as nour
ishing as though cut earlier. But for hay
to keep and feed out during the winter we
should rather cut oats in the blossom thar
in the milk, if for no other reason becaus,
when not cut until the grain is in the milk
the mice will play havoc with it in thu
mows. We should like to hear what other
have to say on this subject

!" WILLIE GRAHAM.
A Boys Noble Nature.

A generous soul hates the doing Of
wrong or mean thing, more than he fears
being punished for it, An instance of frank
magnanimity that any boy might emulate is
given here
A lad was once called before police court
in one of our large cities for throwing a stone
which struck girl in her eye. The respec-
liability of the parties excited considerable
interest, and drew many persons to hear the
examination.
The boy was bound over to appear at the
municipal court, and Colonel M was en-
gagged as his counsel. Soon after the exam
ination, another boy about twelve years of
age called upon the colonel, and asked
" Sir, are you engaged to defend -
AYES, am why do you ask ?"
The little fellow replied " Because, sir,
threw the stone, and cannot sutfera comrade
to be punished for crime of my own COM
mission"
"Well done-you are fine boy; what is
your name ?"
"My name is -"
well" said the counselor, admiring the
noble-heartedness of the lad will YOU tell
the county attorney you committed this
act 7"
Yes, sir" said he, and Immediately went
to the attorneys office for that purpose.
The friends of the injured girl on hearing
these particulars declined taking any further
steps in the matter,

Those CuriOsities.

We lately found two curiosities lat least they
were 80 to us) in the orchard Of Mr.. Samuel l..
Town of this village-who, by the way, Is one OF
the best fruit culturists in the county. The first
was tree in full bearing, grown from n single
graft at the root, which produced two entirely
distinct kinds of fruit-one fall and the other a
winter variety. The other novelty was four full
sized apples on one stem. How are these things

The first "curiosity," if genuine, is un'
doubtedly case of "bud variation" in
which one branch of tree varies in shape
or color of leaves, or in color, shape or quail.
ity of fruit from the rest of the tree. Quite
a number of new sorts have originated in
that way. / should like to see specimens
of these two apples. They may be sent by
mail. Four fullsized apples on one stem,
may mean that they spring from single
"spur or short branch, each apple having
its own separate true stem, or it may mean
that the true stem is branched. The for
mer is not uncommon, but the latter is rare
enough to be accounted a curiosity. oc

A. W. Cheeyer on EnsiIage.

We are gratified to note that so practical
and intelligent farmer as Mr.. Cheever of
the Ne,o England Farmer takes the same
view in regard to ensilage that has been
given in these columns. The following con-
illusions arrived at by him, will show his
upon the same subject:
Frst-lt is clearly out of the question to
believe that every farmer wants large sio,
built of masonry, for the purpose of storing
the immense crops of fodder corn which the
introduction of this system of preserving it
will demand shall be grown. Fodder corn
is good and useful, properly cured, as win
ter forage, or given green as supplement
to the short pastures of late summer but
our belief in its use is that it does not want
to be grown to very much greater extent
than at present; that expensive silos do not
need to be built for its reception, and that
if roots could be grown in its place, our ag
riculture and our farm stock would be much
better off.
!Sec0nd-A change of food conduces to the
health of all farm animals and while some
"ensilaged corn fodder, rye or other green
crop, might be relished by mich cows OIL
sheep in winter, we believe the same condi
tions of health could be better secured b,
the growing of roots, which could be stored
in the barn cellar, and both stored and fec
at less expense than by means of the silo
Third-It must be remembered that on
climate in winter is very different from thu
climate of France and Germany where silo
have been in use for thirty years. Our yer.
deep SHOWS, penetrating frosts, and dam
weather in fall and spring, with the surfac
fowage from the disappearing SHOWS il
spring, present obstacles to the convenien
and successful handling of ensilaged fodde
which many of our farmers now little cor
slider.

n. X. ABBOTT of East Cabot has been
comparing deep with shallow setting of milk,
June 10th he weighed into small pans one
hundred and eighty pounds of milk and
from the cream made eight pounds and six
ounces of butter. The next day he weighed
the same quantity of milk into Wooste I
creamery can and from the cream got eight
pounds and eight ounces of butter. He
thinks that under favorable circum stances
for the small pans there is not much differ
ence in the amount of butter This is the
conclusion that most dairymen who have
tried both methods have come to. But deer
and cold setting secure the " favorable cir
cumstances," every time, while with small
pans we have to "chance it,"

" DO We Sing ~

The other day, at one of the Robin
Dinners" sweet song was sung by little
blind boy, one OF the Robins" 1t made
me think of the story of boy who used to
work deep, deep down underground in a
coal niue. lie was what is called trap
door-keeper, his duty being to keep guard
at a door all the day long, to keep it shut,
and so prevent dangerous accidents that
might otherwise happen. Some one who
went down the mine said TO him, "My
boy, don't you find it very lonely here 7"
The boy said it was lonely, but he picked
up the little bits of candle thrown away by
the golfers, and joined them together; and
then he added, "When gets light then
