HOW TO MAKE A FERNERY.

Nowhere are ferns prettier than
when growing in the house, giving
our rooms cool. restful look and a
quiet suggestion of the woods.
But those who are not the fortu-
nate possessors of Wardian cases
need not despair, for with a little
trouble they can make for themselves
fernery that will rival many more
expensive ones and give quite as
much pleasure, besides being an or
nament to any room until winter.
Have made box rs long and
wide as required, but four or five
inches in depth. 1t can be either tin
or wood, but must hold water. Paint
it inside and out, any color your fam
cy chooses. Fill it with earth, heap
ing it somewhat in the center. The
best soil is the fibrous earth obtained
in any woods by scraping away the
covering of last years leaves. 1t is
mostly leaf mold, and is full of fine
roots.
Now you are ready for your
plants. In selecting your specimens
pass the larger ones by and choose
the small plants, as they will be
much finer in the end. The best
kind is the maiden-hair. These grow
plentifully in shady, moist places
along the banks of streams and
among old rocks. There are other
kinds of ferns and numerous other
plants that will thrive in your fern
cry, but do not crowd it.
Don't forget the partridge berry.
1t has starry white blossoms, and
later its scarlet berries will give a
brilliant effect to the rich green of
the moss. For you must have plen-
ty of moss to cover your soil after
you have planted your fern roots.
Place the largest in the center, leav-
ing the edge for the partridge berry
to grow in. Cover the roots with
moss, and then give good water
ing. After that it needs but little
care. Keep in a shady place and
give plenty of water

THE LEGITIMATE FEATURES
OF A FAIR.

In taking in a small circuit of ag-
ricultural fairs in the last few weeks
we have been confronted at every
turn by the problem indicated by the
caption of this paragraph. What
may with propriety be admitted to
the fair ground-and. on the other
hand, what should be excluded? We
do not in any way breach this topic
with the idea that by so doing we
can in any sense settle vexed ques-
ton, or even that any opinion eX-
pressed will have special weight with
the reader. This is a matter on
which people are prone to think very
differently, and it is difficult even in
the small number of men belonging
to single fair board to find nnani-
nifty on this point. We have some
convictions about these things, how
ever, and such as they are they shall
be expressed.
The Legitimate features of fair,
as all will admit, include 0) the ex-
hibition of live stock, farm imple-
ments and machinery, farm products,
household manufactures, and the
prosecution of such ordinary busl-
ness as may really be germane to
the interests of agricultural ;(2) such
institutions as may contribute to the
physical comfort and pleasure of the
crowds in attendance and ~ such
entertainment and innocent anC

THE APPLE CROP.

The apple crop in portions of the
valley of the West river is enormous
it is also very large in few places
in other parts of the country, but
for the rest it is probably below an
average. In the first locality the
apple trees are loaded beyond all
precedent. The branches rest on
the ground, OF are broken off if not
supported by props. The quality of
the fruit, contrary to what we might
suppose when the draft on the tree
is as great, has never been better in
the last twenty years. 1t is remark
ably fair and free from worms. Own
ers of orchards in the favored locali-
ties need not consider the fruit val
ueless because of its abundance
there, for the crop is not generally
large. This is the non bearing year
except in few places where it has
been changed by the late spring
frost last year. The Neao England
Homestead claims to have replies
from over one thousand correspond
ents in answer to circular sent out
through the New England states,
New York, New Jersey and the
Provinces, making inquiries about
the fruit crop. From these answers
it estimates the crop of apples in the
New England states at Is per cent.
of that of an average of non-bear-
ing year. The per cent. of a full
crop in Windham country is placed
at 81 for fall apples-higher than
any other county in this state-and
6S for winter apples. In Bennington
county only 20 per cent. of a full
crop of winter apples is reported;
IN Rutland only 80; in Grand Isle
and Addison SO. The average for
the state is 81 per cent for fall APP
Piles and 53ifor winter varieties. New
York averages about so per cent,
and New Jersey 40, Delaware IS,
and the Province of Quebec and
Novia Scotia 40. The price of win
ter apples in the markets of New
England and New York state is pre-
dicted at $3.50 to $3.50 per barrel
