utterer, and although his able counsal, Nj.
Alley, brought forward affidavit after att-
dayit showing that RelHngham was mac,
or At least odd, and incapable Of national
action, the jury found the prisoner guilty,
in accordance with the Judge : summing
up, and on the following Monday the pn'
fortunate man was hanged. Now, the
analogy between John Bellingham and
Charles Guiteau Is 20 far complete that
each Of them thought himself suffering
under some kind Of wrong, and each
wished to bring himself and his grievances
into prominent notice by killing some
one Of high and exalted position. Vanity,
doubtless, was in each instance at the bot
tom OF the crime, for Guiteau could not
tolerate the Indifference with which his
solicitations for Office were treated by the
President, and Bellingham deemed hisown
case 50 important that he thought the ma
ton was bound to take it up through the
Government, But the Attorney'G General
Garrow-who appeared for the Crown a.
BelIingham's prosecutor, reverted again
and again to the question. Was the priso-
ner at the bar man capable, at the time
when he committed this crime, OF distin'
gushing between right ana wrong Inc
Jury came to the unanimous conclusion that
he was and we have no doubt that the YER
dict in Guiteau's case will not DO dis
similar. There is nothing in the
American assassin's antecedents to show
that he has ever been deemed incompetent
TO manage his own affairs, and, tried as he
will be in the midst OF community exas'
perated to fury by his horrid deed, moth
Inc but the most inControvertible evidences
Of lifelong madness would probably suffice
TO save him. Never was there u moment
when civilization and society had more
occasion to defend themselves all over the
world against criminals and assassins
whose morbid vanity and craving for nOto-
riety lead them to seek the lives OF eminent
and distinguished men, in order that the
victim may cause the murderer's name to
emerge from its obscurity."

Keen the Old Varieties.

Nurserymen are always greatly interested
in favoring The introduction of new trees,
vines, shrubs and plants. They sound their
praises at horticultural meetings They
write up their merits in the newspapers,
and display their pictures in their cata-
logues and circulars. They speak and write
little, however, of the merits of any of the
old and well-tried varieties of the articles
they deal in. The reason is obvious.
There is no money in handling or keeping
stocks of them. They are so common that
supply can be obtained of growers in al
most any neighborhood and at merely
nominal price. Nurserymen make money
by the sale Of new varieties of plants, as
dry-goods merchants do by the sale of new
kinds of cloth and various kinds of finery
Old varieties, like old styles, are in the way
of selling new ones. Dealers are accord
ingly interested in making it appear that the
new varieties of trees, vines, shrubs, bush
es and flowers are vastly superior to~those
that have long been in cultivation.
1t is true that in the main there is under
the influence of judicious selection and cui-
ovation marked improvement going on in
almost all kinds of plants, as there is in hui
man beings and in the domesticated ami
mails But it is also true of plants as it is
of men, that some are produced far sin adj
vance of their age" 1t is best to hold fast
to these varieties, and not to give them up
because nothing appears that is highly
promising. About twenty-five years have
passed since the origin and introduction of
the Wilson New Albany strawberry, and al
though hundreds of new varieties have been
introduced since that time, it is still the best
kind to plant with view to profit. The
like is substantially true of the Concord
grape, and the Early Richmond cherry.
The Bartlett pear is good enough to let
alone, and so is the Red Astrakan apple.
There is wisdom and economy in planting
largely of old and well-tried varieties.
1t will be time to do the like with new vari-
cites when their merits have been generally
acknowledged Times.

Cooperation among Farmers

1t certainly looks now as though the time
is approaching when the farmers will learn
and adopt better methods for disposing of
their products than has been their habit in
years past Instead of depending upon 9TH
ers TO do their business, they are beginning
to consider the propriety and economy Of
doing it themselves. The farmers of Med
way, Franklin and Holliston are taking
measures for organizing a stock company
for canning fruits and vegetables. The can
ming business has been carried on in the vi
cinity with fair success for several years.
but the farmers, feeling that there is room
for extending and increasing the market for
canned goods far beyond its present limits,
have recently held several meetings for the
purpose of combining their capital and en-
ergy in this direction. A capital of 500, 600.
it is thought, will be sufficient to give the
business fair start, and it is hoped there
will be no difficulty in raising that amount
III a short time.
We have seen many farmers ruined by
taking stock in manufacturing companies,
simply because they undertook to carry on a
business of which they were too ignorant,
or because they placed their money in the
hands of men whose interests were not their
interests; but manufacturing wooden or cot
ton goods is quite another thing from put
ting ones own crops in little better shape
for market, as will be the case in this bust.
ness of canning fruits and vegetables.
We need establishments for canning and
drying fruits and other farm products, to
give employment to the farmers boys of
New England, who have been taught to
think that there is no room for them at
home. A canning factory will naturally call
for salesroom in the city, and possibly
when that is established in the interest Of
the producers, it will lead to similar meth
cd for the disposal of milk which is now
sold at the farm for two cents quart, to be
resold at eight cents, after taking off the
cream and replacing it with Charles river
water. The prospects for New England ag-
riculture never looked more promising to us
than at the present nome nt.-Farmer's Ad-
Vocate.

Geese and Ducks.

In selecting geese choose from the Tou-
louise, Bremen or Chinese varieties. The
Toulouse and Chinese are gray, the Bremen
white. Geese do not object to the snow in
the winter if it be not deep; but they should
be allowed the shed or other enclosure in
severe weather. They require only moder-
ate feeding. We prefer allowing the geese
to incubate their own eggs. When the Cos
lings are Matched retain them until about a
week old. Feed them little bread or
meal, but they will live chiefly on grass and
water. The water should be placed in a
shallow dish sunk in the earth until the TOP
is level with the ground. The dish requires
to be shallow. We had friend who lost
five goslings by having bucket sunk as
above. The old birds splashed about half
of the water out, and the young birds going
in were drowned. When week old allow
them to go until fall, when they should be
fattened the same as turkeys. When pick
ing goose dip the bird in water almost boil
ing hot, then wrap in coarse linen and place
near the fire to dry. This is much better,
easier and quicker than removing the feath-
ers by the old method. Bring your goose in
nice condition to market.
The favorite varieties of ducks are Ayles-
bury, Rouen and Pekin. The Aylesbury
and Pekin are white, the Rouen gray. Ducks
require much the same MANAGEMENT as
geese, buS cannot stand the cold as well.
When they begin laying they should be shut
in every night. If this be not done it be-
comes difficult matter to find their eggs as
they are suspicious and change their nests
very often. But, as they Invariably lay
early in the morning, the eggs are easily
gathered by shutting them in each nigh.
1t is best to set their eggs under hen.
When the young birds are Matched feed
them the same as the young turkeys, only
Arrange for them the water dish which the
gosliugs have left. If any appeariweak, give
them little new milk to drink. They re-
quire but little care in the summer. In the
fall they should be fattened the same as
geese and turkeys. Pick the same as geese,
and be sure and have them looking their
best when taken to market.-Farmers' Ad-

Haltor Breaking.

Any one conversant with the handling of
domestic animals knows that they have an
innate propensity to phil back. They go
astray in obstinacy as soon as they are born
and unless the tendency is early overcome,
the habit is confirmed. Hence halter-break-
ing them, as it is called, is considered one of
their first and most important lessons. But
it sometimes happens that the early training
of an animal is neglected, and then the man
can show himself superior to the brute. A
young Dane in the employ of Western
farmer, was observed leading two refractory
cows, with as little trouble as if they were
well broken horses. On closer observation
it was noticed that he had made half-hitch
around one ear of each COW in the rope hal
ter with which he was leading them. This
may seem simple idea, but is it not worth
something? 1t is certainly better than to
punish an animal, or oppose obstinacy with
obstinacy. Now is the time for taking cat
tie to their summer pastures, and good
time to try it. Please remember that no one
is fit to train an animal until he can govern
himself, and that the best way to manage
strong beasts is to outwit them.

How to Have Good Salads.

People who dine at hotels, and even some
times at gentlemen's tables, seldom find
salad that is really excellent. Generally
speaking it is black-green, bitter. and if It
were not for the liberal appliance of mus
tard, eggs, oil and pepper, it would be quite
unfit for any human stomach. How differ
emit this is from what cool, delicious. salad
ought to be. 1t seems practically to be for
gotten by those who grow salad that lettuce
was never intended to be eaten unless
blancbed. In Europe they grow a long.
broad-leafed kind called the Roman or Cos
lettuce, which, after having attained consid-
cradle development, has TIE leaves drawn
up and TIED together at the top. The interi-
or continuing to grow, and of course in the
dark, by the tying up of the outer leaves,
makes hard mass like an elongated cab
bage, which cuts up as white and crisp and
sweet as stick Of celery. This kind has
never found place in American gardens,
because our climate induces it to run to
seed too quickly. The various kinds of
cabbage lettuce are preferred, because they
close their leaves naturally and are supposed
to blanch themselves. But this, is, as we
have shown, pleasant fiction, as there is
very little of the white about any that we
see, except where there is great success in
growing them into heads. OF course, our
country is not so well adapted to the growth
of good lettuce as England is. 1t will not
stand extreme cold nor does it like warm
days and hot suns. 1t wants to go to seed

Farmers, Gardens.

We have had occasion to observe the great
increase in the cultivation of flowers
throughout the country within a few years,
and in riding through some of our larger
villages the absence of blooming plants in
pots in the windows has been the exception
and not the rule. But there has not been
an equal improvement in farmers kitchen
gardens. 1t is very rare to find one entirely
free from weeds, and some have positively
as many weeds as vegetables. The trouble
is, these gardens are too large. More land
is allotted to them than the owner has
found time to take proper care Of One
square rod, made rich with manure, and
kept clean and mellow by cultivation, will
furnish better and more delicious vegetables
than an acre overgrown with weeds. Now,
let every farmer who has weedy garden
reduce its size to one-half and see if he can
do any better. If not, reduce it again to
half, and try once more; and if still unsuc-
cessful, he can gradually bring it down to
nothing, which would be better than Slip
shod and profitless culture. We recommend
such course only as a choice of evils; for a
good-sized, well-manured, well-kept, we'll
cultivated kitchen garden is one of the
most profitable investments a. man can
make.-Country Gentleman.
