An Opinion Plainly Expressed.

A Pennsylvania farmer whose name is
tower of strength writes thus vigorously
to the Husbandman about the present COM
missioner of agriculture:
THE commissioner of agriculture has
richly merited a more effectual castiga-
ton than has been administered by the
press up to date. The mean and dastardly
suppression of DR.. Golfers report as the
result of his labor, has no parallel, and
can only be the act of small-minded
man. Why President Arthur should con-
tinue DIR. Loring in the department of
agriculture, one can hardly conceive. The
President must be aware that American
farmers utterly despise Loring because he
is without particle of practical knowl-
edge of agriculture, and has been him
drance to the object for which the de-
partment was created. That this preten-
tious politician can be of any service to
President Arthur's administration, or to
his future aspiration, if he contemplates a
reelection, is delusion. The agricultu-
raj people generally intend to make CON-
mon cause against a political party that
gives the department of agriculture to the
keeping of such an arrogant pretender as
they know the present commissioner of
agriculture to be. hope the Husband.
man will voice the universal opinion OF
farmers by denouncing the mal-adminis.
tration of the department of agriculture
and DIR. Loring, who is responsible for its
utter uselessness and consequent waste
of the money appropriated for its sup
port"

The Effect Upon the Soil OF Cutting
Trees at Different Seasons.

GA correspondent of the Farming
World from North Carolina gives this ex.
perience: A farmer had twelve acres of
heavy timber land which he cleaned.
Six acres were cleared just after harvest,
and in the winter following, the other
six. The following season the whole was
planted to corn. The part cleared during
the winter yielded heavy crop, the other
was failure. The part on which the
failure occurred was thought to be the
richest part. Others doubling the fact,
tried the experiment with similar results.
These farmers concluded that the fertil-
ity of thickly wooded land goes up with
the sap, and to clear land in the growing
period deprives it of its life, and that the
safest time is to clear during the winter"
-Erchange.
Undoubtedly fertilizing material does
60 up in the sap in the summer, but does
it go down again into the land in the win
ter This is very bob-tailed science in
deed. Suppose we take more practical
view, and suggest that when woodland is
cleared just after harvest, (Which means
early in June in North Carolina) the sun
is let in on to the land during the hot sea-
son, drying not only the timber but the
very soil itself, so that such good burn is
got as to burn not only the timber and
brush, but most of the soil, too. Or if, as is
most often the case in the South, the trees
are merely killed by girdling with an axe
still the burning heat of the sun all sum-
mer upon the heretofore sheltered soil
would impair its fertility as compared
with the case of trees deadened during
the winter.

support and yet our schemes of educa-
ton for girls are framed precisely as IL
this were not and could not be true. AS
a rule, no provision whatever is made for
such contingency in the education of
girls; no recognition whatever is given
to the fact that the chance exists. We
shut our eyes to the danger we put
the thought of it away from us. In
brief, we trust to luck, and that is the
most unwise-I was almost to say idiotic
thing to do. Each one of us has known
women to whom this mischance has
happened, and each one of us knows that
it may happen to the daughter whom we
her hands with which to fight this danger;
we equip her for every need except this
sorest of all needs; we leave her at the
mercy of chance, knowing that the time
may come when she whom we have not
taught to do any bread-winning work will
have need of bread, and will know no
way in which to get it except through de-
pendence, beggary, or worse. She can
teach ? Yes, if she can find some politi-
clan to secure an appointment for her.
She can prick back poverty with the
point of her needle Yes, at the rate of
seventy-fve cents week, or, if she is a
skillful needle-woman, at twice or thrice
that pittance. Is it not beyond compre-
hension that intelligent and affectionate
fathers, knowing the dreadful possibili-
ties that lie before daughters whom they
love with fondest indulgence, should neg
lect to take the simplest precaution in
their behalf We are dull, blind,
precedent-loving set of animals, we hu-
man beings. We neglect this plain duty,
at this terrible risk, simply because such
has been the custom. Some few of us
have made up our minds to set this cruel
custom at defiance, and to give our girls
the means of escape from this danger.
1t is our creed that every education is
fatally defective which does not include
definite skill in some art or handicraft or
knowledge in which bread and shelter
may certainly be won in case of need.
If the necessity for putting such skill to
use never arises, no harm is done, but
good rather, even in that case, because
the consciousness of ability to do battle
with poverty frees its possessor from ap-
prehension, adds to that confident sense
of security without which contentment is
impossible. All men recognize this fact
in the case of boys; its recognition in
the case of girls is not one whit less nee
cessary. 1t seems to me, at least, that
every girl is grievously wronged who is
suffered to grow up to womanhood and to
enter the world without some marketable
skil.-Harper's Magazine.

Dress.

We have heretofore alluded to the
address Lady Harberton recently deliv-
cred at meeting of the London Literary
and Artistic Society upon the subject of
" Rational Dress" Dealing first with the
question of form, Lady Harberton urged
that by the present mode of womens
dress the true lines of nature were not
only not followed, but were actually
reversed. Every inch of drapery below
the knees caused fatigue and loss of
power, and she ventured to believe that if
the strongest man were required to climb
mountain or walk over q breezy moor in
the dress of woman, or even in what
was called short skirt, what would 9TH
erwise be pleasant exercise would be
turned into unpleasant toll. Drapery
was beautiful, it was true, but when it
was allowed to leave its proper place it
was robbed of its greatest charm. She
believed the first step towards rational
dress would not be taken until women
could wear some form of divided skirt,
having for its object perfect freedom of
movement of the most important limbs
of the body. 1t had been urged that this
dress would be unwomanly; but she
maintained that nothing could be I'M
womanly which had for its object what
was necessary and true. The idea
of sex was entirely conveyed by the
association in our minds. Whatever
change women chose to make in their
dress, that form of dress would, of course,
be exclusively worn by the sex, and they
had to remember that it was necessary in
order to 60 through life successfully to
have that which enabled the sex to per-
form their duties and enjoy their pleas
ures in the best possible manner. Speak
ing on the question of stays, Lady Har-
berton said that medical experience
showed that seventy-seven per cent OF
the internal ailments of women were
caused by tight and improper clothing

Loading Hay SO as to Come Off Easily.

A correspondent of the Rural NeU
Yorker gives his method as follows: "Be-
gin at the forward end of the rack and
pile the hay up until it is two feet high
the whole width, then place each forkful
80 that it laps up on the pile with the
edge next to you resting on the bottom Of
the rack. Continue the same way across
the rack from side to side until you get
to the rear end, then pile up as you did
in front, loading again from side to side
until you come to the forward end again,
when you pile up once more. Always
keep the layers Tapped upon each other,
and then your pitcher commences at the
end where you finished, and stands in one
position, lifting the hay up Just as fast as
he chooses, for it lies before him Just
like load of bricks which have been set
on end and then knocked down by push
ing over the first one"

Sometimes, through you. through you,

Out OF your warmth and cheer,
