or three poor samples that taste SO
musty that when he is offered piece OF
lard or fiat butter, totally devoid Of any
taste, he Immediately takes it for some
thing fine, as it is such an improvement
on the last. In this way his sense OF
taste is totally demoralized. To be
safe the buyer must carry in his mind
all the qualities of fine butter"
The idea is that sales Of butter are
never made on the merit of the goods,
but on the ability of the buyer TO tell
good butter when he sees it. We do
not know that this rule pertains to the
butter trade alone.
About Pruning Fruit Trees.
Do not lrtne your fruit trees all at
once, cut off a limb now and then. AS
you pass through the orchard, cut out
useless twig here and there, or limb
you do not like; any season OF the year
will do, 30 you do not do it all at once,
and make the change OIL the tree TOO
radical. There is no surer way to ruin
an orchard than to prune 1t from
thick growing brushy trees into one with
only few stout limbs, every one OF
which gets the full benefit of the sun;
better let the brush grow, but the best
way is as we have suggested above,
take off twig at time. 1t may he
cruel or cut off dogs tail little at a
time, but better for an apple or peach
tree or even dog wood. TO into the
orchard ever leisure moment you have
and cut out the extra twigs. This Is the
way to train up an orchard, and the
twigs may do to train up the boys.
Are Men Worth Anything:
To The Editor offhe PhHadeiphid Times.
Seeing a paragraph in Wednesdays
Times headed "Are Girls Worth Any
thing" | would like to answer by ask
ing, Are not the young men worth less?
As far as | am concerned am a young
lady who can make loaf of bread and
boil steak and do almost anything
that is required of lady, and yet am
an "old maid" for the very reason that
for some time past | have refused
several offers of marriage from the
'banged- hair" tight-pants and over
Observation-Disclosures young men, as
Mr.. Mcclure terms them. Now l
should like To know where lady Is 60
ing to find a man nowadays who can
make decent living for a woman I'M
less he has father or some rich rela-
ton To back him"
And as forthe girls, in q great many in
stances it is the fault of the men.
have told young men several times that
| had a nice young lady that / would
like to introduce them to, and the first
question they ask is: Is she pretty: Is
she stylish? or, Is she good dancer?
Now, ifyou notice, it is just the pretty,
stylish, good dancers that get married,
and the girls that would make good
wives are allowed to enjoy single
blessedness. hDAILY READER.
Although the above was written in
defense of city ladies, it applies with
still more force in the country. BY
whom is she called on sold maid" BY
those of her own "set," by other girls,
and by the stylish young man she
speaks of. 1t is lamentable that our
Young men do try TO ape the city
Young man, and the nearer he can come
to doing so, the nearer he thinks he can
fill the eye of the city girl. You can not
do it, my dear, and are only laughed at
for your pains. And as to the country
boy he gets tripped up on every Oc-
casiOn, and this is reason the question Is
asked, "Are Men Worth Anything"
Marbles IN NattIe.
In the months of August and Septem-
Der, very beautiful species of CAD
fly annOys cattle by piercing the skin
and inserting an egg which lies in there
all winter, slowly growing into grub
which in the spring of the year becomes
the size ola bean, and working It's way
out drops onto the ground, and during
the warm Weather matches into lly
ready to repeat the same process. The
difference between this and the fly
which attacks the horse is that the
horse fly lays its eggs on the hairs of the
horse, which being licked off by the
horse 90 into his stomach and hatch
into bots, then are dropped to the
ground and Matched into flies again, etc.
The other Side OF EnsiIsge.
The American DdiyDtC0l on the sub
ject of this "new food" says:
1t may be correctly stated that the
evidence in favor of ensilage is "all in
and now the other side is TO be heard
from, and it becomes us As impartial
Jurors to listen patiently to all that may
be said on both sides, but reserve our
Judgment until full hearing is atforded.
Nothing would please us better than to
find the highest anticipations OF the
most energetic enthusiasts in favor OF
this cow feed coming true, but as cool
headed and disinterested spectators we
propose to wait and see and report
faithfully all that we can learn either for
or against it. Unfortunately, Americans
are i'm the habit of travelling too fast,
and in the matter of new inventions are
ant to have to retrace their steps. If
proper precautions are taken there need
be no fear in this particular, so let each
one go slow and profit by all he can
learn.
Below we give the modest opinion of
J. b. I.awes, the sage of ROthamsted,
England, of the effect of fermentation
IN green food:
"At Rothamsted ! have about fifty
four cows in milk and about thirty head
of Young stock. Their main supply of
food until next May will consists OF
mangles. More than half of the whole
dry matter of these mangles consist of
sugar, and this sugar is the most valua-
bic of all the ingredients which they
contain. Now, if | were to subject these
mangles to fermentation in pit until
the sugar was converted into alcohol
and carbolic acid, should be destroy
ing that valuable element of food which
| had been at so much cost TO obtain. In
the clamps where our mangles are
stored their quality improves rather
than the contrary, and farmer would
give reference to roots which had
been stored up for six months. If sue
culent food for winter is so valuable In
the States some comparison should be
instituted between the relative advan-
tages of corn and mangles.
"As regards ensilage, | must confess
that do not altogether like process
which appears to be 81 destructive
food"
This reminds us to quote again an
illustration used by General Banks, last
winter at meeting of farmers. He
had listened for some time to the dis
cusSion of ensilage, pro and con: He
was asked for his opinion, and said that
i'm the discussion he had noticed that the
