Maine State Fair.

Although tainted with the horse-trot,
to have been the grandcst exhibition of
the sort ever made in New England.
There was not particle of liquor to be
had in Lewiston, showing that "prohi-
bition does prohibit" Mr. Cheever of
the NeW England Farmer says: 81
have walked, this evening, two or
three miles through the streets of the
two cities of Auburn and Lewiston,
which lie on opposite banks of the An
droscoggin river, without finding a
single liquor or beer shop or beer sa-
loon with their evil associations, nor
have I seen single loud-talking, half
drunken rowdy since | came here,
either at the fair grounds or in the
cities" AS the Maine Farmer says
" 1t was fact that made one proud of
Maine, of her prohibitory law, and of
the sobriety and good order of her citi-
zens, to mingle with the thousands of
people that daily crowded all the thor
oughfares and public streets of the two
cities, during fair week, without no.
ticing single case of intoxication. tbs
fact more telling and suggestive than
the most brilliant argument" There
were nearly two thousand entries of
cattle and horses together All the de-
partments were full, and the fruit ex-
hibition, under the charge of the Maine
Pathological Society, was immense.
The exhibitions have the effect to attract
fruit-buyers, especially those purchas-
ing for export, and it is noted that those
counties which make the best exhibits
at once find an influx of purchasers and
an advance in the value of their or
chard crops. There were fourteen
hundred entries of fruit. The bulk
were apples, and a magnificent display
they were, of all sorts and kinds.
Maine has a good apple crop this year
and exports quite lot to England.
When will Vermont fruit-growers get
their eyes open to the value of local
organization like that of Maine?

Early Apples.

"The Switzer is an early apple which
we have grown this year for the first
time, from scions received two years
ago last spring from DR.. Hoskins of
Vermont, and said by him to be hardy.
1t came with the recommendation that
it would be an acquisition anywhere. 1t
is few days later than the Red Astra-
chan, and, unlike that variety, will keep
for some time after it is ripe. Medium
in size, regular in form, skin smooth,
and lively scarlet in color; flavor a
rich, pleasant tart, slightly aromatic,
flesh fine. Although we should say it
fills its recommendations and is worthy
of place in the list of any one who
wants to put out early varieties. with
vast quantities of early fruit rotting
upon the ground and being fed to stock
there are few indeed who want to plant
early kinds"
The above is from the Name Farmer.
Editor Gilbert speaks from the point
of view of the great commercial fruit
grower, apparently forgetful that every
family wants fresh apples from July to
December, want that cannot be sup
piled with winter fruit. No doubt it is
very easy for the commercial grower to
grow too many early apples, especially
if not suitably located; but the fact is
that nearly half the apples used in the
country are summer and fall kinds.

How to Promote Agricultural
Education.

The grange has always made it a
leading matter to promote education,
and especially to work for the teaching
of those branches of science in the pub
lie schools which are specially related
to agriculture, such as botany, chem
istry and mineralogy as related to soils.
That such work may be made effective,
if energy enough is put into it, is shown
by the introduction, in many states, of
works on health, with special chapters
on the evil effects of alcohol and mar
cotics. This has been done through
the influence of the temperance organ
izations. The agricultural bodies are
quite as numerous, and they have only
to make their wishes known with the
same determination and insistence, to
have them carried out.
As regards the state of Vermont, we
believe the most good can be done by
increasing the number of our normal
schools to one in each county, giving
each at least as large an annual appro-
priation as is now given, under the
same conditions. Even if these appro-
priations are increased to $4,000 each
per annum, the whole cost would be
but 1928 900 year, or about eight cents
per head of population, and where
could so much good be done by the
state for the same money?
The law forbids these schools to teach
any foreign language. This leaves
plenty of time for the teaching of the
natural sciences, and if good teachers
are employed, who have themselves
studied the sciences practically, as they
are taught now in all the agricultural
and mechanical schools in this country
and in Europe, we should soon have in
our graded and common schools teach
ers well qualified to give effective in
struction to our children upon subjects
specially related to the agricultural and
mechanic arts, and of great use to them,
whatever their future business may be
We commend, therefore, to the mem.
bers of the grange and to all farmers
who, feeling their own needs, desire fol

/" Social Classes.o

We see with pleasure that religious
journals are at last sensible of the fact
that underies the complaint, " they
speak to me in the church, but not on
the street, mot only sensible of it,
but sensitive to it. 1t is thought to be
a great problem, and hard to deal with.
But why? This is a country of political
equality, yet the idea of social equality
of Christian equality-of that kind of
equality which was not only recognized,
but emphasized, by the founder of the
Christian religion, who, carpenter him
self, associated chiefly, if not entirely,
with workingmen and women. This
idea is hard to swallow, even by those
bred and born for generations under
free institutions. Already they begin
to talk about human masters and mis-
tresses," in utter disregard of the di
vine command on that subject. The
spirit of aristocracy, of privileged
class, is in their blood and bones, and
is shown in word and action. No won
der it weakens their churches and gives
them great concern.
Now we advise them to take the bull
by the horns. Let them recognize that
this is country of political equality
only because our politics is ahead of
our religion. If they love Christ, as
they profess, let them keep his COM
mandments. Peter was " only" a fish
erman, and yet he was, as a Jew, an
aristocrat in his feelings toward the
Gentiles, until he got lesson on the
subject. The whole Christian religion
is against these class feelings, which
are making so much trouble in the
church.
But" they cry, how can we asso-
ciate with the vulgar and depraved on
footing of social equality?" Well, how
did Christ do it? And how do they,
themselves, manage so easily to associ-
ate with the vulgar and depraved among
those whom they recognize as belong
ing to their own class" or in their
own families, when they have plenty of
money and live in good style? The
difficulty is evidently not insuperable in
all cases. In church this ought not to
be much of question, since who can
really be at once vulgar or depraved
and member of Christ's body? And
as for the outsiders, Christianity is the
cure for vulgarity and depravity that
his followers are charged to offer to the
world. When churches and church
members do their whole duty, vulgarity
and depravity will be rapidly lessened.
But where the forms of religion are
kept up to great extent, as they are,
as mere badges of external superiority,
this " class = trouble is truly not easy
of solution. 1t is one thing to send
the gospel to the heather, and another
to illustrate it among our neighbors.

Unjust.

"Too good to be true The Rural
Neu Yorker is smart, no doubt. 1t tells
of a crop of potatoes, grown on its
experimental grounds, of 1911 bushels
to the acre. If it can raise such crops
as that we should think it might do
well to go to farming. Wonder if it
will have any potatoes to sell next
spring at dollar a pound?"-Maine
Farmer.

fine large farm on Long Island, where
these big crops of potatoes have been
grown for several successive years?

but free to all subscribers, old and new }

Crab Apples.

AN enthusiastic propagation extols a
certain new variety of crab apples as
being of larger size than any other crab
apple he has ever seen. Its superior
merit, then, must be in its being big
ger humbug than those which have
gone before. "-Moine Farmer.
As long as crab apples from Northern
Vermont will bring from five to eight
dollars per barrel in Boston (and they
do), they are not very great humbug.
But the merit of the larger crabs, like
Whitney's Number 20 and Mortified
Beauty, is that they are really apples of
small to medium size and fine dessert
quality, while, being hardy far north,
they are an extremely useful class of
fruit in that section where good sorts
that succeed are few Some of them
are also good keepers,

worse than folly to go into it in such a
stingy way that little can be done. At
the same time the right man, or men,

moderate cost. Five or six thousand
dollars for land and buildings, and
$4,000 annually for salaries and other
expenses, ought to suffice, at least until
enough good work had been done to
