A MODEL FARM.

Editor Of Monitor
Having occasion recently to visit
the neat and quiet home of Il. Z.
jameson of Irasburgh, | was struck
with the natural beauty of the place,
its pleasant surroundings, the variety
and luxuriance of the growing crops,
etc.. and / could not resist the temp
tation to call and see the "Little
Agriculturist, as he is sometimes
called. / found him and his son Ar
thur, who, by the way, is success
full teacher, engaged in harvesting as
fine piece of wheat as can be found
this side of the prairies. Arthur
yields the cradle with as much ease
as he solves an ordinary mathemat-
ical problem. On one side of this
acre of nice wheat was six acres Of
heavy oats and rye; on the other side
lay three acres of nicely dressed corn
standing so high that / could not
reach the top of the stalks. A heavy
crop of beans was growing on the
same plat between the corn hills,
and / think it safe to estimate the
total growth of this piece to be one
hundred bushels of corn and twenty
five bushels of beans. On another
plat near by is three acres of very
stout fodder corn, 'Bailey's Mann
moth Ensilage," and little farther
on ~ acres of hungarian grass.
Mr.. Jameson is building silo of rs
tons capacity, and will fill it with his
ensilage corn and the hungarian
grass.
Mr.. Jameson is progressive farm
er. and though for certain reasons he
may choose to be conservative in
some things, he believes in progress
and his practices as well as his writ
ings point in this direction.
Beside the crop mentioned, Mr.. j.
raises large patches of melons, squash
es etc. He has one Of the best Or
chards in the vicinity, which in this
bad fruit year, is well laden with
apples. Of stock [ saw some beau
tiful grade Jerseys, which the keeper
is soilipg. and which are producing
most excellent butter. Mrs. Jane
son is doing her part of the work to
perfection. I could not refuse the
invitation to stop to tea, and cOnclu
ded when the repast was furnished
that should have made bad mis-
take if [ had gone away without &C
cepting Mr.. and Mrs. Us. hospitality.
I ought not close this letter with
out saying that [ was surprised both
with the character of M. Jameson's
farming, and the large amount of
products he obtains from a small
farm. The lines, GA little farm we'll
tilled'' etc., came to memory as l
drove away. [ shall long remember
my visit to the pleasant home of Mr..
Jameson. and [ shall feel that he can
not only talk and write agricultural
but cen practice it. OLD FARMER.

ABUNDANT PRODUCTION.

Recent cable dispatches bring IA
vorable reports in regard to the
crops, which must be glad intelli-
gence for the masses, whose prospe'-
ity and comfort depend so greatly
upon abundant production. Accord
ing to NJ. Etienne, the well-known
FreDch authority on the subject,
whose estimates and conclusions are
generally accerted as the most accu-
rate obtainable, the harvests of the
world ale this year exceptionally
large. He reports no material def
cheney in either Europe or America,
and the yield seems to be above the
average everywhere whence data have
been received. A few weeks ago the
prospect in Great Britain was not
favorable, but the latest intelligence
is decidedly encouraging. In SUM-
marizing the result, after abiding to
M. Etienne's report, the London
Times says: ''Never, during the
time since these reports were collect
ed, has the harvest in the Northern
hemisphere been so good all round.
We usually had to report a defcien-
cy either in Europe or America.
This year there is absolutely none.
The world has over an average har-
vest, and with such harvest the
year is likely to be one of cheap
abundance"
AS regards the United States, the
crops were never more productive
than we have the assurance they will
be this season. Of wheat alone it is
believed the yield will be upwards of
five hundred million bushels, and
some estimates make it nearly six
hundred millions. The Indian corr
crop of this country is expected to
reach nearly to billion bushels
though we think this estimate toe
high-while it is thought that the cot
ton crop will amount to more thar
six million bales
With such indications of an abund
ance which promises prosperity 70
; the inhabitants of The civilized globe
these items may be read with spiri
and understanding.

Editor Monitor. I do not know
as lifelong MONITOR acquaintance
justifies the liberty of addressing
you, but | never go through new
number of your fragrant little jour
nal, with its suggestions of Orleans
atmosphere, among whose hills the
breezes are the sweetest, and the ev-
ergreens the spiciest, that | am not
tempted to add something to your
s'waste basket" which you editors
would have US believe is the only re-
ceptacle you possess that is well-fill-
ed, and a late item in your Barton To-
Gals tempted me beyond endurance.
The closing sentence brought with it
such vivid mental photo. of the ed
itor, with his even temperament that
never says word too many, and his
placid well-satisfed contemplation of

SECRET PRAYER.

We never take so fin a hold of
God as in secret prayer. In the
great transactions between US ald
God. we can have no human helper.
We should play alone. FOR we have
sinned alone, and we are to die
alone. and be judged alone. Yes,
alone we shall have to appear be-
fore the judgment seat, though the
whole world is there. Why not 90
alone TO the melcy-seat? We can be
free before God. We are not Cling
to tell Hin any secret, for he knows
all our thoughts. If there is any
reasons FIR public prayer, there are
stronger reasons for secret devotion.
Our Savior says "elte' into thy clos
et." He does not say closet, nor
the closet, but thy closet. The Say
ior uses the word closet to mean any
place where, with no embarrassment,
either from pride, or fear of observa-
ton, we can freely pour out our
heart to God in prayer. Some spot
consecrated by many meeting there
with God; some place that has often
been to us Bethel. Christ's closet was
mountain: Peter house-top. 1t
is in the closet, and not in the great
congregation. that we get the near
est to God. When sickness comes
to US, when the wicked Cypress us,
and we feel almost ready to give up
and die, 0 how it lightens our bur-
dens to enter our closet and tell ou1
Heavenly Father all our trials and
temptations! What an argument we
have for secret prayer in the exam
pie Of Christ, who was in the habit
of retiring to solitary places for per-
sonal communication with God. He
who knew no sin, needed no forgive
ness, maintained secret prayer.
Though the habit of his soul was de.
votion, and wherever he was, he held
communion with the Father, yet he
was wont to seclude himself to pray
With these advantages over us, he
felt the necessity of it; and, will
the business of the worlds redemp
ton to attend to, he found time fol
secret prayer. Was it needful fol
him, and not for us? Was it practlc
able for him, and can we, dare we
say it is not for us? Have we no Sc
cret place, where we can hold com
munion with God? Have we n,
time! If the day is not our own, i
not the night? That was our Savior
time for secret prayer, and the noun
tain-top his oratory. L. D. A.

EXPERIENCES WITH soILING.

After several years experience in
agricultural work, one always finds
something new. No one can Justly
sit down and say 81 know it ALP in
regard to farm work so it is not
wise to lay down rules and say, Gas
I have found it thus and so, thus and
so it must be- Likely as not your
neighbor will come and tell you some
thing entirely different from your own
conclusions and, as you know him
to be man of good sense and as
trustworthy as yourself, you are soon
forced to acknowledge that what may
be one way with you may be another
way with your neighbor- va
rying circumstances. And those
three words contain the kernel of
this hard nut of farm experiences,
and do not pretend to do more than
to state how some opinions and be-
liefs, founded upon others expe-
riences, differ from my own. 1t is
the general average which makes
laws just as, while we may have
dry season at one place or time, and
very wet one at another, on the
whole the rainfall will be within a
fraction the past ten years previous.
And SO it is the general average re-
suits of the farm which fix it's value
or usefulness.
Thus it is with soiling. Soiling,
however, is invariably found useful
and valuable. / have never yet
found or heard of the farmer who
has grown and fed one or more crops
for soiling his COWS or horses, who
has not year after year enlarged his
ventures in that direction. Indeed, so
universally favorable have been the
results that hundreds of farmers, be-
ginning with partial soiling as an ex-
pertinent, have gradually adopted the
practice of full soiling and abandon
ed pasturage, excepting so far as to
keep one shaded and well watered
field under hoof for the sake of con-
venience, or field in rotation, to be
in this manner cheaply and richly
MANFRED. Even in Kansas, where
land is cheap and rich, farmers are
growing soiling crops-rye for late
fall, winter and spring use, and mil
let and sorghum for summer and fall
use.
After several years. practice of
soiling, | find it becoming simpler
and easier each year as the arrange
ments become more perfect, and,
what is more beneficial, the land
grows richer year by year, growing
more feed and permitting the herd to
be enlarged until the objective point
of one COW to the acre is actually
within sight. But just here it might
be questioned if most farmers will
not find it more convenient and prof
liable to stop when they get half way
to this point, than to 60 farther and
fare worse by being forced to in
crease their labor, which it is hard to
do for lack of material. What The
farmer can do by his own intelligent
work, he cannot always or often get
done by the skillful work of others,
and every farmer knows how much
better he can do thing for himself
than he can get it done by never so
much showing and instructing, which
in the end takes as much time to be
effective as the doing of it.

whatever is his own-the only state
of mind / ever envied-that / could
not forbear adding few lines to his
paper.
Though Orleans is the home of
those | esteem more highly than any
others, still | have little pride in
our own fair county. / think it must
have been rather cursory view the
editor took of our fields and mead
ows, enhanced by the perspective of
a flying locomotive, for from all ac-
counts they were burdened with grass
and grain that in quantity and quail
ity cannot be excelled even by Or
leans. Worse still he hit vital spot
when he SHE'D an arrow at our an
tiquities. To be sure our old houses
are of too practical a cast to gather
the picturesque ivies and MOSES of
age about them, but they closely re-
semble their old Barton cousins,
and in one thing we are leading off
out of the old ruts in gradually put
ting out Of sight the old fences about
our dwellings and near grounds, both
in village and country, greatly to
their improvement. But our dear
old stone walls, that are a constant
reminder Of the patient toll of our
grandsires, l fear will mostly remain
for years to come, for far too few
are the thorough farmers, who like
Gen. Grout of Barton, are putting
them out of sight in drains; the only
use, I believe, the manufacturers
ever intended for them.
But we will forgive the editors
criticisms on the farm buildings,
fences etc. of Chittenden county,
knowing that with all our fertility OF
soil, wealth, and other advantages,
there may be some cause for the adj
verse criticisms. We can but wish
our friends of Orleans the greatest
measure Of success, and send this lit
tie epistle on it's GRAND earthward,
as a zephyr from Old Champlain.
