Let us not have any stacks burned
this year if it's possible to avoid it.
Let careful men warn their careless
neighbors to protect the fruit of their
hard toll. Several farmers in this
county last year lost all their grain.
Such loss is too great to be borne
once in q life time. Plow your fire
breaks, guard the fire around the en-
gines while threshing and always keer
a surplus of water on hand. Save
the precious golden grain.

Fairs in Massachusetts.

The agricultural societies in M assachu-
sets receive bounty from the state of
5000 annually to aid the cause of agricul-
ture, but from the manner in which it is
applied, seem to think it is given for pre-.
miums for horse trotting, competition of
fire engines, balloon ascensions, side shows,
etc. Instead Of aiding the cause of agri-
culture, they retard it. The ag ricultural
societies need recognizing, and new
blood infused-that of young, active, pro-
gressive farmers, who make farming their
business, and who are the most interested.
We have been going long enough in this
slipshod way under the control of those
who see no light but that of other DAYS
and must do as has been done in times
past. This is an age of progress, and ag-
riculture has progressed as well as other
branches of industry, and more in the last
forty years than centuries before. In
New England we are behind the times in.

Potato Culture.

Very careful experiments made in New
York last season show that the fiat cul.
ture of potatoes produces the finest tubers
and the largest yields. The best results
followed the Dutch method of planting,
which consists in keeping the surface Of
the ground level, planting single eye in
a place, covering it six inches deep, and al
lowing but single stalk to grow on a
hill, which are foot apart each way
Exchange.
This may be the Dutch method of
growing potatoes (though we doubt it,
seeing that in the Hollow-land the
fields are below the level of the sea and
the rivers and killing would probably be
the best way, but it is way we have
practiced successfully for twenty-five
years. We prefer, however, to plant two
eyes in place and thus avoid too many
skips. If both eyes start, one generally
takes the lead and the shoot from the
other makes little growth.

COUNTRY COUSINS.

How dear to my heart are the sweet country cousins
When dog days OF summer begin TO draw near
When bricks have grown hot, and when sunstrokes by
dozens
FIJI body with anguish and bosom with fear
The green waving fields and the sweetsmeing breezes,
The 'scspug from turmoil to quiet and calm,
The rich creamy milk which the ready hand sezes,
And cen the brown cousins who live on the farm.
The plain country cousins, the uncultured cousins,
The sweet country cousins who live on the farm.
The sweet country cousns Oh aren't they treasure
How handy to have at the vacation tmel
And paying ones board Is too costly pleasure
When all can be had without spending dime.
How pleasant to live rich cream and ripe berries
Fresh golden hued butter and cakes light and warm,
Free use of the horses the carts and the wherries
OF sweet country cousins who live on the farm!
The plain country cousins the uncutured cousins
The sweet country cousins who live on the farm
How dear the sweet country cousins in summer,
How fragrant the meadows, romantic the dawn
But straightway your faces begin to grow GUNNER
At thoughts of their visit next winter TO town.
The theatre, the concert, the lecture the money
Expended in ticketsl The thought gives qualm.
The sequel of summer ia not quite so funny
why don't the sweet cousins remain on the farm2
The cousins the great awkward cousins
The bothersome cousins should stay on the farm.

Ed I keep the soil rich enough to pro-
duce good crop of grass or grain. For
the first three or four years / pillow the
land annually, and keep the soil free from
weeds for space of three feet around the
tree. After seeding to grass l keep the
soil fortified by top dressing with ma.
nure, ashes, etc., I give each tree two
good shovelfuls of ashes each year. am
inclined to think the trees should not be
too much protested from the breezes of
winter, as thaws in winter are more apt
to start the sap; then after freezing sud-
denly the bark starts, and perhaps kills
the tree. The tent caterpillar l contend

the nest before it gets large. Other

the borer.
l prefer to have the head of the tree
about five feet from the ground have the
branches come out horizontally, and
take great pains to prevent crotched trees
that will eventually split down and spoil
the tree in its prime. The mode of prun-
| ing must be varied somewhat with the
variety in hand. l strive for what is
known as the open or umbrella-shaped
top, spreading out to let in the sunshine
and wind. My cellar is very damp, the
water from the barrel runs through the
entire length in an open ditch, which pre-
vents freezing. 1 keep my apples in bar

and not have il freeze the fruit. think
the best way is to have the barrels headed
up and lying on the side. NJ ost of the
apples sold in this vicinity and Montpe-
lier come from the lake towns and Massa-
chusetts, in fact many of the farmers bay
their graft apples or go without. think
this is decidedly wrong, as with care in
selecting the right varieties, all might
raise an abundant supply.
This is an interesting report, and Mr.
Swift has our thanks for it. He seems to
have worked his way along mainly by
himself, and has a number of not widely
known kinds, yet lacks some that we be-
lieve he would find very valuable. OF these
we would especially call his attention to
the Wealthy, which we feel sure will take
the place of the Baldwin in the colder
parts of Vermont. We have had it nine
years, and like it better the longer our ex.
perience with it becomes.

They guard too carefully the spigot, and
instead OF making wholesome, heroic

Unhalowed by the faint OF sin,
And all Is purity within.
Seraphc songs forever glow
On lips that no corruption know,
And tears and pains have no control,
To mar the pleasures Of the soul
There, bathing in sea OF rest
The saints of every age are blest;
The treacherous paths through which they came,
The bitter life Of scorn and shame,
The cross the rock, the dungeons gloom,
That did their noble lives consume;
The fires Of he'll through which they passed,
Lighted their souls to heaven at last.
Secure beneath the Savlor's care,
Sweet every thought. love every prayer,
The wondrous world Of light shall be
Their happy home eternally.

We fear Commissioner of Agriculture
Loring got astray, in his remarks before
the forestry congress in St. Paul, a few
days ago. He is reported as saying the
spruce timber of Vermont will be ex-
hausted in four years. We beg leave to
correct the doctor on that, as he is as far
out OF the way as when he was depreciat-
ing the sorghum sindustry. There is, we
are sorry to say, a somewhat reckless de-
struction of timber in Vermont, but there
will be spruce timber in that state long
after DIR. Loring is forgotten.-C Chicago
