Our Assistant Editor.

We occasionally find items in our de-
partment (scissored to fill up, we suppose)
which we do not want to father. We do
not believe, for instance, that eating pea.
nuts is injurious to the teeth, any more
than eating beans. And we do not wish
to be thought so ignorant of botany, or
80 poor an observer from boyhood, as to
speak of the bulbs " of water "lilies."
As matter of fact, the water I" lily" is
not lily. 1t is nymphea, and its true
name is Water Nymph. 1t is needless to
tell Yankee boys that "pond lilies have
no bulbs, but PROSTATE trunks called
root-stocks, or "rhizomes often larger
than mans arm. The Nympbe form a
small botanical family by themselves, but
are much more nearly related to butter
cups than to the true lilies. They are
easily cultivated in water holes, or in
large tubs. All that is necessary is to
get a root, lay it on a surface of pond
mud five or six inches deep. and keep the
hole or tub full of water. Hard freezing
kills the roots, and when cultivated in
tubs they must be watered in the cellar.
They want at least eighteen inches of
water to grow in.

ton, full of facts of the most important
and instructive character. Great interest
is taken by this society in the New
Orleans Centennial Exhibition, of which
President Earle is the horticultural super
intendent, and the great West will surely
make magnificent display of its horti-
cultural productions there, in competition
with similar exhibits from all parts of
the world. 1t is pity that there is such
slight hope that Vermont will take any
part in this great exposition. She might
take very creditable part if she would,
but it is hard for our people to smother
their prejudices, and really to recognize
the South as part of our common
country. In another hundred years it
may be different.

it without cutting several of them in two.
They have come in in consequence OF the
constantly increasing richness OF the soil,
and this richness has not been produced
by large quantities of stable manure. As
we have said before, we keep but little
stock, and can buy but little manure. Con-
sequently we have had to depend upon
bone and ashes. OF these we use from
800 to 1925 worth in a year, with per-
haps enough stable manure to fairly
dress single acre. The first is APP
piled to about six acres, or half of the
farm. The manure is mostly used for
top-dressing in that part of the orchard
which is laid down to grass. For crops
in titled land, we use about ton to the
acre, every alternate year, of our mixture
of ground raw bone and ashes Zone part,
by measure of bone to two or three parts
of ashes), which we have 80 often spoken
of, and which some of our readers say
does no good for them-probably because
they don't use it freely and continuously,
as we do. With this kind of treatment
we get constantly better crops of all sorts,
including fruits, vegetables and seeds,
which are supposed to draw so hardly on
the soil. The land is plainly growing
richer, year after year, under this treat
ment, and really all the organic matter
accessible to the crops on the titled land
is that in the bone, in the roots left by
the crops, and in the worms and insects
that live and die in the soil.
Now if this is the case in a sandy soil,
why may it not be with suitable vsria-
ton of management equally so in a
heavier soil ? In general farming the
farmer would have this advantage over us,
that he could occasionally turn down a
sod, or pillow in fertilizing crop of clover
or rye. We did that some at the first,
with very good results but do not now
find it necessary, though it might be so in
clay land, especially when the strawy
stable manure recommended by Brother
Cheever was not plenty enough. The
point we are after in this article is that
there are other sources of organic material
besides manure, muck, sod and green
growth, which will stock the ground with
suficiency of organic matter. The
quantity really needed is not great at
any one time, while too much makes the
ground sour, and lessons its productive
ness,

Christianity In Political Economy.

E. A. B. writes al read your last
number (July 30) with great pleasure.
How much better and even richer we
would all be if Christianity prevailed in
political economy, as we'll as in all earthly
matters. How narrow-minded are those
who suppose that Christ came to teach
only heavenly things Why, not only
would we reach heaven more safely by
following Christian teachings, but we
would also secure, through peace and
goodwill, more uniformity in the enjoy
ment of all the good things of this world.
Millionaires would be fewer, no doubt,
but the millions could become the honest
possessors of sufficiency, with less of the
toiling and scrambling of the present day.
And yet the mere mention of these every
day truisms sounds and reads like q
dreadful sermon |" Yes, friend B., but
that is because, even after almost two
thousand years, our Christianity is only
skin deep. Napoleon said you had only
to scratch Russian little to find Tar.
tar. So we have only to scratch the
average Christian little to find pagan.
Christianity is still considered something
altogether too fine for everyday use. 1t
is mostly kept for show-on Sundays.
Yet, after all, it is the only practical
scheme for running society that will elm
mate what all admit to be its enormous
evils. Why does the world yet SILVER
on the brink of its purifying food ?

An Interest I'm Fairs.

"I have two hundred varieties of vege-
tables growing for exhibition at our state
fair writes an enthusiastic York state
farmer. No wonder the New York state
fair is the most successful institution of
its kind. This interest taken in the fair
by farmers and breeders throughout the
state is the secret of its success. So it
is with all fairs. Farmers everywhere
should feel an individual responsibility
in their success. 1t is easy enough to
find fault with fair managers, but the
ill-success Of an exhibition is frequently
largely due to lack of effort on the part
of the fault-fnders."
The above is from the Maine Farmer.
The Farmer ought to have added that the
New York state fair, 80 pbenomenslly
successful and 30 interesting to the farm.
ers, is about the only one that does not
encourage horse-racing, or any other form
of gambling immortality. This ought to
produce some effect upon the managers of
the other fairs, and it naturally would if
it were not the fact that the horse. gamblers
force themselves into the management of
fairs and control them, 80 that they are
really gambling establishments in purpose,
with what those same managers Gin their
private TALK call "green pumpkin at
tachment," to humbug the public and
secure immunity for the villainous games
in which they take so much interest, and
by which they and their "pals" succeed
in winning 80 much money from the
weak-minded and excitable crowd which
their juggled horse games always attract.
Think of so-called New England fair
(shades of the Puritans y offering $1,700
in "purses for the horse-race, to $4,000
for prizes to all the agricultural, mechan-
ical and other exhibits.

Farming in Massachusetts.

One of the astonishing things, to YER
monters who read the Massachusetts
papers, is the low prices asked there for
farms, of which the most attractive de-
scriptions are given. Very rarely is as
much asked for them as the buildings
alone are stated to be worth. Yet in the
face of this state of things, continued
without variation for the last twenty
years, we are continually told of the bene.
fit which is sure to accrue to farmers by
the growth of manufacturing cities and
villages in their neighborhood. 1t is vain
to say that only in the hill towns this
depression in farm values exists. In the
rich Connecticut valley, right amongst
the close-standing manufacturing estab-
lishments of that and the lateral valleys
tributary to it, agriculture is dead, or dy-
ing. A writer in the last Sunday Repu6H-
can of Springfield, under date of August 2,
from Northampton, says:
"Before 1860 the farmers of the valley
owned their farms and the valuation of
the town meant something, while to-day
some one else practically owns the
towns, which are fast drifting into the
money institutions of the county. Be.
fore the high tariff the farmers were the
veritable river gods of the valley, but
now, as one of the sufferers said to-day,
I'VE have come from plenty to penury.
Then this valley was the farmers para.
disc; now to own land is to tend to pow
erty.' Said prominent farmer of the
valley, When | was a young man, here
in Northampton to own meadow land
was almost passport to heaven. Two
things were requisite for mans success
in life, that he own meadow land and at
tend the old church. But this is all
changed now and the land has become
comparatively worthless The depress-
ing in the valuation of land has been
marked all through the valley, except
where it has been made valuable for
building purposes"
We should like some sensible explana-
ton of this from one who knows. How
is it, Brothers Cheever and Myrick?

MuIching the Orchard.

Continued experience makes us more
and more an advocate for the application
of mulch to fruit trees. We have orchards
in both titled land and grass. By liberal
mulching with grain straw, pea and bean
straw, or coarse grass, the growth of the
trees in sod fully equals the growth of
the trees in highly MANFRED garden soil,
with far less risk of winter injury. We
have no trouble whatever from the split
ting of bark with mulched trees, nor do
we ever see any root-killing, even where
no snow lies, if the mulch is we'll main
tanned. So completely has our opirion
on this subject been changed by expert
ence, that we should now prefer always
to set young orchard in sod if we could
always command sufficient mulching ma
terial. Trees in sod that will not make
two inches of annual growth, and look as
if dying. will start into the richest and
most luxuriant growth almost Immediately
after mulching. The mulch should ex-
tend out as far as the branches, and should
be heavy enough to kill all grass and
weeds for that distance. This mulch de-
Gays, and needs renewal about every year.
Care must also be taken to protect
mulched trees by laths, barrel slaves, or
some equivalent, from the mice that are
sure to nest in the mulch.
This mulching maintains moisture and
an equable and low temperature about the
roots of the trees, while, by its presence
and slow decay, il greatly increases the

A CORRESPONDENT of the Maine Farmer
says: "Vermont is agitating the subject
of State Pathological Society, which is
right. Our own Pathological Society has
done good and great work for the State
of Maine, and our sister State of Ver-
mont will find it as useful as we have"
Vermont is not shaken very hard, from
center to circumference, by this agitation.
1t will never be mistaken for an earth
quake so long as there is but one shaker
engaged in it.

Moss mulching for pot plants is good
idea, but not new, as some suppose. It
consists in mixing the common moss of
the swamp or woods with about one
twentieth of its bulk of bone dust. This
is placed, to the thickness of an inch or
two, on the top of the pot. Plants 80
treated quickly show surprising health
and vigor. 1t is an improvement to add
a few tesspoonfuls of unleached wood
ashes to the bone for each pot.

A CORRESPONDENT asks us to explain
the meaning of the term "msguetic," as

But, to our mind, it rather expresses the
power some men and women have to make
themselves pass for more than they are
worth-something akin to what the Irish
mean by barney"

supply of available nutriment to the tree.
This seems to take place far in excess of
the mere manurisl value of the mulch
itself. 1t must be that some such process
as nitrifcation goes on under the mulch
and enriches the soil.
