more than one man." and it is because
we get the views of so many different
men, in so many different situations
and under so many different conditions,
that such reports are invaluable, not
only to the beginner, but to the expe-
rienced fruit-grower, especially when
changing his location to one where the
climate or soil is different. Vermont
is far more interested in fruit-growing
than Minnesota, while much of our
state is better suited to fruit-growing,
and better located as to markets; yet
repeated trials have shown the impossi-
bility of establishing horticultural So
ciety within its bounds. This dead,
fossilized and absolutely unprogressive
condition of things in a state of such
grand possibilities is seriously to be re-
GREETED. The same men who won't do
it here will, when they go West, take
hold with vigor and lead off in every
thing that tends towards progress.

italian Butter.

Freedom, even the imperfect freedom
of " Emancipated Italy," develops in
dustry surprisingly. The dairymen in
Italy are improving their facilities and
butter to such an extent as to become
formidable rivals to the Dutch in the
export trade with India, China and
other Oriental customers. Italy has a
much longer butter-producing season
than Denmark, and threatens to supply
French markets with large quantities,
thus forcing French and Danish butter
upon the English buyers, reacting
upon the American export trade in but
ter, which has already suffered consid-
erably from European competition, the
value having fallen for the ten months
of this season to 1864 1888, against
SO ,407 100 for the same time last year,
and in quantity from 19,9l0,9 57 pounds
in 1SS4-S5 to 16,953,047 pounds in
1886.

may be sown too thick as well as too
thin for the best results; the richer the
soil and the more perfect the seed-bed,
the less the amount of seed required.
There is more danger of sowing too
much than too little, and no rule as to
quantity can be given for different
regions. The right quantity may vary
with soil and exposure, the size of the
kernels, capacity of the variety for tller-
ing and injury from insects; and if all
the conditions were at their best three
pecks to the acre would be ample. The
increase above this quantity requires
knowledge and judgment on the part of
the farmer as to the quantity of seed,
the variety and its liability to these
various accidents and influences"

Farmers Joys.

A writer in the Boston Cultiuntor
says a good deal of nonsense has
been written for newspapers and books
about the joyous nature of the farmer
and the blissful character of his voca-
ton. This has been INDUCED in by
those not engaged in what they have
undertaken to describe, and who may
have been unduly influenced by the en-
chantment which distance lends. The
farmer is not forever whistling a merry
tune, the spontaneous glee of perfect
health and the echo of rapture that fills
his soul. Too often we find him drag
ging his aching limbs across the field of
toll, his body bent by the strain of
heavy work, broken down in middle
life by exposure to the weather and
want of proper food and medical care.
Too much is he given in his solitary
hours to brooding and fretting over
cares and griefs, meeting trouble more
than half way on its side for lack of bet
ter company. The sequestered homes,
fit abiding places for true love, are not
always sunshine, and by the Preside too
often bitter passions flourish like poison
Gus weeds in the fertile garden. Dis
ease and death are not strangers here,
and their cruel havoc is only the more
keenly felt because of its being wrought
in quiet, lonely places.

Farmers and Savings Banks.

Speaking of farmers who lay up
their savings in savings banks, Secre-
tary Russell of the Massachusetts
Board of Agriculture says: " A farmer
ought to be ashamed of himself if he
could not get bigger interest for his
capital than the four per cent the saw
ings banks are now rather reluctantly
paying their depositors. A cow, a hog,
sheep, or even hen ought to pay
more than four per cent interest on
capital invested, and it will in the
hands of any intelligent, willing worker
who has half the faith in his business
that the quartz-crusher has in his penny
a-pound rock" This is all true; but
perhaps these depositors know by ex-
perience that they are not smart enough
to make their spare cash pay them four
per cent on the farm. Yet how many
farmers are hiring money at six per
cent and more.

The OIeOmargarlne Bill.

Perhaps this bill, now that it has
passed into law, will do all the good
which its friends anticipate, and if it
does no one will rejoice more heartily
than we. But it would seem that the
senate did all it could do for the cleo
crowd when it reduced the tax to two
cents a pound and limited the pen
atty TO those who " knowingly" violate
the law. AS an exchange, whose editor
is lawyer, sarcastically remarks :
"This leaves it optional with the bogus
butter-dealer to swear himself into Jail,
and brings the entire bill down to the
level of farce. 1t is not usual prin'
ciple outside of the United States SEN
ate that ignorance of the law excuses
its violation"

The COtswOld Breeders.

The breeders of Cotswold sheep in
Vermont have organized the "Green
Mountain Cotswold Sheep Association"
for the purpose of establishing reg
istry of this breed of sheep, in order to
protect both buyers and breeders, and
also for the improvement of the stock.
The price of registry is fixed at the
very low sum of twenty-five cents per
animal, the conditions being that all
shall have an unbroken pedigree from
English stock, and that emo animal
shall be registered in this registry after
being sheared, unless said animal
sheared at one years growth at least
ten pounds of fairly clean and unwashed
WOOL A lamb may be registered, but
it must be the duty of its owner to send
into the registry the weight of its first
fleece, and if from any cause the first
fleece should not weigh ten pounds it
may stand on the book until its second
fleece is taken off, and if it then fails to
shear ten pounds the animal shall be
dropped from the registry" The Of
fcers of the association for the ensu'
ing year are: President, r. G. Hill OF
Gilmore; vice-president, Frank Phil
lips of Glover; secretary and treasurer
A. A. Niles of Morrisville; committee
on pedigree, L. L. Camp and w. w
Delano of Elmore and Alfred Dodge
of Morrisvlle-any of whom will, NJ
doubt, furnish all additional informa
ton on the subject which may b'
wished for. 1t is, we think, timel,
movement, and one in which all wh'
are, or desire to become, breeders o
this very valuable class of long-woole'
sheep will be glad to take part.

Here are enormous differences against
the manufacturers and in favor of the
farmer. 1t would appear that agricul-
ture has really been favored at the ex-
pense of mechanical industry, and GER
tainly those who can remember how
American farmers lived, even fifty
years ago, need not doubt the great i'm
provement in their condition. Yet
even now there is nothing to hinder a
slothful or incompetent farmer from
coming to grief.

Kerosene Mine In New South Wales.
New South Wales possesses in the
Vale of Hartley mine a valuable kerosene
deposit. The mine is situated in one of
the most picturesque parts of the colony,
about eighty-three miles northwest of
Sydney, in the center of the Blue noun
tains, at an altitude of BIS feet above
the level of the sea. The railway up the
mountains has aided greatly in the es-
Enlistment of a number of important
industries there. The iron works at
Eskbank are carried on successfully, and
the coal deposits are inexhaustible. The
kerosene shale found there is said TO be
the richest in the world. Considerable
quantities Of it are used in the large
cities Of the colonies for the purpose of
enriching gas. 1t is also exported for
the same purpose to Holland, Java, and
the states On the Pacific slope Of the
United States.
Only the better quality of the mineral is
exported, the scraps and inferior por-
tons being retained for the extraction of
oil. The seams are from one foot 10 two
and-a-half feet in thickness. 1t is much
more difficult to mine than coal, and is
usually got out with iron picks and
pointed rods. 1t does not run down
readily into blocks. but has to be sepa-
rated piece by piece and splintered off
into sharp thin pieces. II is easily
lighted with a match, and burns with a
