Nurserymen report that there is greater
activity in their business than at any time for
Is years. The high price for apples which
obtained in Maine during the fall and
winter has stimulated farmers to engage in
orcharding to greater extent than formerly,
and thousands of trees will be set out in the
State this spring. Many young orchards are
just coming into bearing. and their owners
are beginning to reap a return on their in-
vestment. The coast counties and the coun-
ties up and down the Kennebec appear to be
the favored spots for orcharding, and the day
is not far distant when Maine will be cele-
brated all over the country for her apples.

NeWspaper Work.

A few years ago the newspaper pro-
fession was looked down upon as moth
ing but a Gehenneh for the wrecks and
cripples of other professions. A report
er was the very acme of social degrade
ton. Now, however, it is different.
Every one of the young men who have
Just eft some alma mater believes that
he can write. and that he has but to Of
fer his services to be installed in some
responsible position How many are
disappointed the walls of newspaper
Office could relate we're they able to
speak. Newspaper work is not IA mat
ter of writing, but of putting as many
facts, and as much of them as is possi-
bic, in the briefest possible space. 1t
takes young man fresh from college a
long time to find that out, and until
that knowledge is obtained they have to
suffer many pang while seeing IN ed
itor's blue pencil making sad havoc
with their elegant periods, nice illustra-
tions and wordy introductions. If a
man has not instinctively got an eye for
news and the faculty of getting it ex-
pediously, he may ''polish the side
walks for a lifetime and yet be no
nearer the goal he started out to reach.
The most remarkable thing, however, is
the number of women who crowd into
the profession of journalism By sheer
persistency. Once q woman lays aside
her natural reserve she becomes more
pushing and irrepressible than drum
mer and thus many succeed in actually
forcing themselves into positions. As
a rule, they make good news-gatherers
in certain departments. A few of them
are interviewers, and as such they have
succeeded better than most men. But
equally, as a rule, women make bad
news writers. They are prolix, and the
natural female inclination for post
scripts follows them throughout. Be-
sides, they are generally awkward per-
sonages to have in an Office. They are
apt to be exacting and constantly claim
privileges on the strength of the defer
enee due lady from gentleman.
City editors often find them the bane of
their lives. and to male reporters shere
are twenty unpopular TO one popular
female scribe.-IHe H0ur

Cleanliness in the Dairy.

The sides and udder Of every cow
should. before milking, be thoroughly
brushed and cleansed of everything that
can fall into the milk pail. The farmer
should place over the can which is to
convey his milk, two cloth strainers, of
unequal thickness, the thicker one be-
ing below the other. The lower one is
best made OF thick woolen flannel. A
woolen strainer will often take out
good deal of foreign matter that linen
or cotton one would let through As
often as matter accumulates upon them,
they should be turned over and rinsed
till they are clean. This would be but
q small item for each dairyman to do,
and it would make material difference
in the quality of the butter or cheese
that is to be made from it. This little
attention to cleanliness would, like ev-
cry other tidy act connected with the
dairy, pay well in the long run, because
it would make the goods so much more
satisfactory and desirable. 1t would
not remove entirely the necessity for
straining at the factory, because flies
and other objects which it is impossible
to avoid are always liable to drop into
milk while being handled, that must be
got out, but it would keep out so much
soluble matter that now goes in, as to
make material improvement in the
products of the factories. National
