evil is likely TO be cured in time. Parties
and caucuses are indispensable means for
united effort as well for good citizens
as bad ones for success cannot be at
tained without concentration OF the
power of those who think alike as to meas

Der of the states and communities of this
country real and permanent success in po-
litical life does not, think, require or ad-
init either manipulations or bargains. The
people of a republic (if we are to have faith
in the value OF free institutions) must be
supposed TO prefer capacity, honor, candor
and Independence in their public servants
rather than intrigue and self-seeking; and,
if so, the long-run must prove here, as in
everything else that honesty is the best
policy.

Butter Dairying In Maine.

There is a real, and we think an effective,
interest awakened among the farmers of
New England's largest state in regard to but
ter making. Maine agriculture has been
rather behind the times,-lumbering manu-
featuring, shipbuilding, and other lines of
business of marine nature, diverting the
farmers time and attention from the proper
care and development of their land. But
there has been great change in the last ten
years in this respect, and agriculture in
Maine is coming to the front. There are
many fine herds of dairy cattle in the state,
especially Jerseys, and Maine butter begins
to attract the attention of buyers. If Maine
will take hold with Vermont in this busi-
ness in the right spirit, New England need
not buy any butter (and she ought not to
buy any beef of the West. We have for
some time been contributing monthly let
ter to the columns Of that old, yet ever new
and always excellent, agricultural paper, the
Maine Farmer; and in this correspondence
we have urged the farmers of our native
state to develop their vast dairy resources,
and come up to the help of Vermont against
the mighty West. We are just in receipt
of letter from Hon. z. A. Gilbert, Secre-
tary of the Maine Board of Agriculture, in
which he says (referring to these letters)
Among the many valuable things you have
given us, you have in this last outdone them
all. Your appreciation of our dairy advan.
tages are in complete accord with my own,
having made this feature special study for
the last ten years. If you could enforce
your ideas upon our people until they be-
come conviction and then drive them so far
out of fixed habits that they would act on
those convictions, the agriculture of our
state would change its hue in brief time. "
Mr.. Gilbert has himself first-class dairy
herd, and his butter is recognized by buyers
as CHOICE" bringing a price above all quo
tations. 1t is the example of Mr.. Gilbert,
and of some dozen or two of other Maine
dairymen that we might name, which is 60
ing to change the hue" and the rating
OF Maine agriculture and Maine butter
Neigbbors visibly making money in an,
branch of farming have far more power tt
draw others into it than any amount of urg
ing on the part of newspaper writers.

The Winter PIppin Of Vermont.

Our veteran pomologist, Charles Down.
ing is doing great service in settling the
true names of fruits often wildly dissemin-
ated and known by variety of local names.
The following is a letter lately written by
him to DIR. True of Maine in regard to an
apple known in this state az the Winter
Pippin. From our own early recollection of
the Winter White, or vaughn Apple" as
grown in Maine, we should say that it is not
the Vermont Winter Pippin. But we hope
Mr.. Downing will be able to settle the
matter conclusively. He says SIN look,
ing over the Maine State Horticultural So
ciety's report Of 1875, notice that you
speak of Benjamin Vaughn's early introduc-
tion of fruits, ETC., aud wish to inquire il
you know whether he introduced the Winter
Harvey apple, and il so, is it an American
or foreign variety2 Also can you tell me
if the Winter White, Winter Pippin of Yer
mont and Winter Pippin as many will cal
it, are identical with Winter Harvey. From
all can learn and what have seen OF the
above named varieties, | am inclined to
think they are all the same apple, but have
no positive proof of it, and will be glad il
you can inform me. Also If you have tn,
Winter Harvey and the old English Non
such apples | will thank you TO send m,
two or three large strong cuttings of then
by mail"

WHAT THE BuRpooK WAS GOOD FOR,

"Good for nothing" the farmer said,
As he made n sweep at the burdock's head;
But then, he thought II was best, no doubt,
To come some day and root It out.
No he lowered his scythe, and went his way,
To see his corn, to gather his hay;
And the weed grew safe and strong and TALL
Close by the side Of the garden wall
Good for a home," cried the little toad,
As he hopped out Of the dusty road.
He had just been having dreadful fright,
The boy who gave It was yet In sight.
Here 1t was cool and dark and green,
The safest kind Of q leafy screen.
The toad was happy; For" said he,
1.-THE burdock was plainly meant for me-"
GOOD for prop" the spider thought,
And to and fro with care he wrought
TIL he fastened 1t well TO an evergreen,
And spun his cables fine between.
Twas a beautiful bridge,-a triumph Of skill
The flies came round. as idlers will;
The spider lurked in his corner dim,
The more that came, the better for him.
GOOD for play" said child, perplexed
To know what frolic was coming next.
SO she gathered the burs that all despised,
And her city playmate was quite surprised
To see what beautiful basket or chair
Could be made with little time and care.
They ranged their treasures about with pride,
And played all day by the burdock's side.
Nothing ia lost in this world Of ours;
Honey comes from the idle flowers;
The weed which we pass in utter scorn,
May save a life by another morn.
Wonders await us at every turn.
We must be silent, and gladly learn.
No room for recklessness OF abuse,
Since even burdock has its USE ST. Nicholas

The Journal of the American Agricultural
Association.

The January supplement of this publica-
tion has been sent to us by the secretary and
editor, j. IL. Real. Our readers will re-
member our somewhat extended notices of
the previous issues, and especially of the
last one, in which the editor severely criti
cised the article of the Hon. Mr. Chittenden
of New York which appeared in the same
number in reply to a paper of Edward At
kinson of Boston, wherein it was argued
that railroad corporations ought not to be
controlled in any way by the government
which created them. Mr.. Chittenden ably
controverted Mr.. Atkinson's position, and
the editor, not content with reprinting Mr..
Atkinson's paper in the same issue, himself
took up the cudgel against Mr.. Chttenden.
1t appears, from the report of the associa-
tion's last annual meeting, that editor Real
absolutely refused to print Mr. Chittenden's
article, but was constrained at last TO do so
by officials of the society. The upshot of
the quarrel thus arising has been that the
Journal will hereafter be published by a
private association, called the "Agricul
