He Hadn't Time.

A fruit commissi on merchant tells the
following instructive story: GA party
shipped us four barrels of Maiden's Blush
apples in sugar barrels, poured in loose.
When received they were badly bruised,
yet showed that it was fine fruit. A price
was placed upon it, but it was rejected as
not being worth the money. After stand
ing around all day it was rolled into the
house, carefully assorted, and repacked in
ordinary apple barrels. After throwing
out the bruised and discolored fruit, there
was enough to fill four of these. They
were put on sale the next morning, and
were taken in short time at one dollar
per barrel advance on what was asked
for them in vain the day before. The re-
packing took thirty minutes. 1 wrote
the party, complaining of his packing,
and his excuse was that he did not
have time. Now l don't know what he
was engaged in, but if he could make
more than four dollars in thirty minutes
it must have been profitable work."

Industrial Journals Should
he Reliable.

"Thus it u.s." says the Rural New Yorker,
in commenting on class of writers for
the agricultural press, altogether too nu-
merous, who merely collect the ideas of
others, with no regard as to whether they
are right or wrong, that many farm pa
pers are alive with nonsensical SUCCESS
tions which would never appear in print
were the editors themselves practical
men," To this the editor of the Maine
Farmer adds the following additional COM
ments. Both papers take exactly the
ground we have always occupied on this
important question. We believe that
agricultural papers, like other papers,
should be edited, and edited by competent
men-not filed with hodge-podge of
contradictory opinions from men of all
degrees of knowledge and competency,
the editor acting towards his readers as if
he said, "You pay your money and you
take your choice" Our Maine brother
forcibly says" agricultural papers should
look well to it that every item, paragraph,
suggestion, recommendation, rule and com.
munication placed in its columns should
be measured by some one entirely compe-
tent to square its teachings by the most
advanced knowledge of the practical agri-
culture of the day. What are these pub
locations subscribed for and read, if it be
not for the gaining of information from
them If the matter of which they are
made up is not reliable, then they do not
bear information. The reader should not
be required to be the sole Judge of what
is sound teaching and what is unreliable.
When he is required to do this he is
not making advances in his knowledge
through his reading-he is only seeking
out of the mass of material laid before
him what he already knows. Readers
have right to demand that the publica-
tions receiving their patronage shall be
the collectors of material which shall
have q measure of reliance, and which
may be received as an aid to lead them on
to more successful results. False teach.
ings only lead to errors of practice, and
these errors are always a hindrance to
success. The confidence of readers should
be gained by giving them material worthy
Of their confidence"

duct agricultural colleges? How the
country and the world need host of
farmers thus educated and drilled How
agriculture in all its departments, includ-
ing methods, crops and stock, would be
improved and the profession elevated by
men thus educated know strong,
brainy New Hampshire farmers who would
have put our agriculture far ahead of
what it now is could they have had the
great advantage of proper agricultural
education in their youth. They have
done nobly, considering their advantages,
but greater advantages would have en-.
abled them to have accomplished far
more. It has taken nearly century for
the Military Academy at West Point to
reach its present state of perfection, and
we trust that common.sense will 80 far
prevail in keeping agricultural colleges
upon the right track that, within CEN
fury, their graduates shall be as distinct
lively agriculturists, in the widest sense of
the word, as the graduates of West Point
are soldiers, and that the farmers may
then point to their Grants, Shermans and
Sheridans, among the graduates of their
agricultural colleges, with the same pride
that the West Pointers now point to these
great generals. J.D.L

The Chances Of Farming.

1t is a great advantage for a man desir.
Gus to make money, when vast number
of those in like business with himself are
rendered harmless as competitors by their
prejudices, their ignorance and their
mental and physical inertness. This is
particularly true in farming. There is no
business now followed on the earth in
which really capable and energetic man
has 30 little to fear from competition. In
trade, transportation and manufacturing,
mining and mechanics, acute, highly.
trained minds are alert on every side to
take all advantages, and work them for all
they are worth. Margins are close, and
the least ignorance, incompetence or local
disadvantage, throws man out at once,
and he is distsnced. Some time it will be
30 in American farming, but it is not 80
now. A really first-class farmer, gardener
or fruitgrower is almost lonesome, for
want of real and stimulating competition.
Just think oft Not one-third of the milk
made in this country is worked into but.
ter or cheese of even fair quality; not
one-third of the COWS are of fair produc.
tiveness; not one-third of the good COWS
are fed and cared for as they should be for
profit. What field is business run
like this for capable man to enter upon
And 1t is no better in fruitgrowing, grain.
growing, or any other branch of our art.

Slanderers OF Vermont,

Some time since woman correspond
emit of some city newspaper wrote car
ricature description of Vermont farmers o.
husbands and fathers, which was consid-
erably copied, and some Vermont papers
took the trouble to be indignant over it.
We did not think it worth noticing, be.
cause we regarded it as a mere overflow
of bile from some "old gal" from the
city who was boarding in the country,
and couldn't have the team when she
wanted it, or something of that sort.
And now our friend Cheever of the
New England Farmer sends us a copy of
the Boston Commonwealth, containing q
similar hepatic evacuation, which Mr..
Cheever says he hates to see go unnoticed,
though he thinks the editor of the Com.
monwealh would "never have published
it if he had known the Vermont people as
you and l know them" Perhaps not +;
yet the contempt of city editors for the
people of the "rural districts is contin.
ually being shown in similar ways. The
essence of this NORWOOD and gall is con.
tanned in the following paragraph:
al had heard of CRACKERS or poor
whites at the South, and knew from elo-
quent descriptions Of northerners who
saw those nondescripts Immediately after
our late war that they were q God
forsaken looking set of people. Those
same northerners ought to see those Ver-
mont farmers. never saw such scare
crows anywhere, and gentleman from
the South assured me that for general
slatternliness these Vermont farmers went
one better than the crackers y and their
turnouts-I think some Of them are older
than Methuselah-at any rate, they would
beat the 'one-hoss shay"
That is the way the Goldfish aristocracy
of Massachusetts, and elsewhere think
about us, no doubt, aud once in while q
gsrrulous one lets it out But If all we
read in the court reports Of the daily
papers Of the cities is true, or half of it, If
you want to see the most utter corruption
and vileness, the most hopeless degrade
tion to which humanity can fall, you
must look for 1t in the places where these
critics Of ours come from. The ignorant
southern "cracker TO whom the intelii-
gent self-supporting and self-respecting
farmers Of Vermont are compared-is q
gentleman, and his wife is lady, con.
trasted with large proportion of the peo-
pie of Massachusetts towns-and they
would not compare unfavorably in cour-
tesy, common-sense or veracity, with a
good many of the scribblers whose letters
from the country find admission to the
columns of city newspapers like the Com
mOniDedlM.

New England Fair.

The "premiums announced for the
Loring and Needham show at Manchester,
N. H., next month, will amount to 81 100
for horsegambling, and $4,000 for all
other objects. 1t has been unoficially
said that no liquor will be sold and no
side gambling permitted, but as the same
assurance has been repeatedly given and
broken before, with intervals of denial
that anything of the kind was ever done
there, the decent public must not be too
sanguine of reform. The records for
years show that without the income de-
rived from these vicious and immoral
sources this so-cslled "New England
Fair" would probably have come good
deal short of paying expenses. The Ne1
England Farmer says, on this subject
ave fail to find in the circular any refer
ence to the points which have been &c
freely and 80 Justly criticised, both by
members of the society and by outsiders
in the management of former exhibitions
and we are therefore unable TO inform oul
readers whether any reform in these OBJ
jectionable features is to be looked for o.
not" The farmers who now attend thil
class of shows, with their families, o
alone, cannot hereafter plead Ignorance
OF their character. They 60, if they g
at all, we'll understanding what it is the.
encourage with their money and coun
tsnAnce by their presence. 1t is crafty

Undoubtedly, If the juice is pressed out
as completely in the silo as it would be II
the stalks were passed through the rolls
of sugar-mill, and it were all lost, the
ensilage would be of no more value than
bagasse. The heaviest pressure applied
to ensilage, however, will not do this, and
If silo is made water and air-tight, as II
should be, there will be no loss at all in
this way.
If l.. W. P. means, by his reference to
the Board of Agriculture, TO intimate
that it has sighted the ensilage question,
he is mistaken. At Cabot it was dis.
cussed, and L. w. P. himself, as well as
Mr.. Cole and Mr.. Fisher, gave his expert
ence. At Enosburgh Falls Mr.. Emery
of Sheldon read paper on ensilage, and
the subject was discussed. At Middle
bury Secretary Cutting read commune
cation from a Mr.. Conant of Massachu-
sets, decrying corn ensilsge, but showing
at the same time that he did not know
how to feed it. The secretary, in his
comments, said this was an extreme view
of the case, and that while corn ensilsge
alone is not perfect or sufficient feed for
dairy COWS, it could be used to advantage
with other fodder. At Manchester very
favorable report was read by Mr.. Graves
of Sunderland and by MIR. Bowen of
Manchester. Mr.. Goodwin, of the board,
expressed, at Passumpsic and elsewhere,
doubts about the value of ensilage, and
thought we should ego slow" At the
Passumpsic meeting Dr. Drew gave very
favorable report of his experience. At
White River Junction the board visited
Mr.. Billiards. extensive farm and silos,
and Mr.. Ballard reported strongly in
favor of ensilsge, as did also Mr.. Dunbar
of Hartland, and at Washington General
Thomas, one of our most experienced en-
silsgists, advocated it.
A reader Of the agricultural journals
cannot but be strongly impressed with the
remarkable readiness with which ensilage
has been accepted by the farming com.
munity of New England, generally 80
averse to novelties. The criticisms have
not generally come from farmers, and
what have so come have generally been
from those with little or no practical ex-
perience. The general success has been
surprising, and when we consider that the
corn plant alone is not by any means
equal to the small grasses as food for
the dairy, and that few farmers have yet
learned what and how much of other feed
should go with it, the little complaint and
wide approval show that great need is
filed by the use of the silo. In fact it
takes the place of roots, at a much
cheaper price, and the good it does is at
once so evident that there is no wonder
that L. w. P. and so many others are
enthusiastic about it. AS for the board,
it is strictly in the line of its duty in
"going slow" on novelties, and not al
lowing itself to be swept away by any
freshets. A good thing, like ensilage,
needs no fanaticism in its behalf. 1t has
made its way quite rapidly enough, and
unless it is better made, in many cases,
and more wisely fed than many feed it,
there is likely to be more said against it
in the futnre than in the nast
