New England Farmers.

The New York Chrchman SAYS:
zone may almost assert that if the
home of vileness and blasphemy is to
be sought in the slums of the city, for
the most utter blindness to spiritual
things, for the most discouraging OBJ
tuseness, you must go to the isolated
New England farmhouse" This is a
pretty heavy indictment, and as there
are in the country an immense multi
tude engaged in the cultivation of the
soil, it is quite possible that the writer
in the Churchman may, in his summer
vacation, have come across few farm
ers that answer to this description. 1t
is not often that the political papers
flatter the farmers, except perhaps in
behalf of candidate for office, and
the tone of the Introductory lines Of
the following extract from Connecti-
cut correspondent of the Springfield
Republican displays the instructive as
sumption of city people in regard to
rural people; yet the testimony lie bears
is not weakened by that fact:
The second annual meeting of the
state grange, which was held here this
week, was in some respects a sur
prise to large number of people. The
grange members were as fine looking
set of men as could well be collected.
Indeed, it would be very difficult to find
anywhere a more hearty lot, physically
and mentally. They talked sense right
along, as if that were the natural thing
to do under the circumstances. There
was precious little tlummery in the five
minute papers that were read, barring,
of course, the good " first sentences
generally thought necessary. They
stood up, men and women, and said
their say in the way the audience liked.
When man talks long his strength
with an audience diminishes as he pro-
ceeds. A thoroughly good discussion
of the tariff Thursday afternoon drew
comparatively small audience, while
Unity hall was filled to hear the pithy
talks of farmers and farmers wives and
daughters to farmers. The grange is
state, and thus far is most excellent
one.
The real truth is that while there
are rural " slums - to be found in some
localities, the average New England
farmer is an honest, thoughtful, patri-
otto and generally religious man. In
the households of our farmers more
and better books and periodicals are
found and read than in the same num-
Der of city houses, taken as they run.
Culture is intensified and limited in
the cities, while in the country it is less
exquisite, but far more widely-diffused.

That Manure Question.

/ have just read, on page 656 of the
Rural NeD Yorker, Mr.. Stewards eXpe-
sition of that manure question, and am
very much mystified, for the following
reasons: He states positively that
manures do not leach through soils.
| had been led by observation to be-
lieve that they did-through some soils
at least-and for that reason have hest
tated about digging a well close by my
stable, though / should very much like
to do so. A farmer living near me dug
well twenty-five feet deep close be-
side a yard used for cattle and pigs,
and into which all stable and other ma
nures were thrown, and though he
formed bank two feet high and sew
eral feet wide around the we'll with the
clay taken out of it, the water became
discolored and unfit for use the third
year after it was dug. He then moved
the cattle yard and manure heaps hun
bred yards away, and within three
months afterward the water in the well
became, apparently, pure and fit for use.
Again, in January, 1884, | drew out
quantity of mixed manures and piled
them up in heap to rot. AS it hap
pened, the heap was located over a
tile drain, four hundred feet from its
outlet. This drain had been laid two
years and was three feet four inches
deep-soil heavy clay loan. AS the
ground thawed out the following spring
the water flowing out of the drain be-
came discolored and continued so nearly
two weeks, and noticed that the weeds
along the ditch into which the drain
emptied grew much more rank that
summer than ever before. Once more,
| have tile drain laid three feet deep
under my stable. The outlet is three
hundred twenty feet distant. Every
spring the water flowing out of this
drain is discolored, but only for short
time after the ground thaws out, and

A Common Error.

A writer in an exchange says: Hav-
ing purchased trees ahead, or rather
having ordered them before the time
for setting out, l made all necessary
preparations ahead. AS soon as they
arrived heeled them in well and went
to work to dig the holes. A good APP
plication of manure was given each
tree by working well into the soil,
thrown in and among the roots. This
/ considered in this case the best plan
of manuring. The trees were SET out
in the fall, and good care taken in fill
ing up to see that the soil was well
filled around the roots" Mixing stable
manure with the soil used in setting
out trees of any kind is very bad mis-
take, and the writer quoted says his
trees did not do well, though he attrib
utes the failure to setting them on
rocky hillside, which is ordinarily a
very good spot for such a purpose.
Manure mixed with soil decays, and
disappears in one or two seasons, and
leaves cavity. When placed around
among the roots of young tree in any
considerable quantity these cavities
cause the roots to die or become dis
eased and the trees, if they survive,
make poor, unhealthy growth. Fill
up with as good fine soil as you can
get, working it among and pressing as
closely to all the roots as possible.
Then, if the ground is not thought to
be rich enough, apply any amount of
manure you wish upon the surface. The
rains will carry the strength of this
downwards into the soil, while the I'M
decayed portion acts as mulch to
keep the surface moist.

About COmfOrters.

When the other sewing is all done up
| always take up patchwork BY piec-
ing one or two every winter keep my
comforters renewed, and | enjoy the
work. lately found in an old number
of the household a description by
" Hans Dorcomb," whoever that may
be, of quilt made about the year 1892,
and am trying to make one like it. 1t
is so odd, and as the work can all be
done on the sewing-machine you may
like to try it. To begin, you cut
piece about four inches square of Gre
tonne or some bright, dark color. Then
sew stripes of light print about two
inches wide on the four sides, making
square and complete corners, like a
picture frame. Now put strips of dark
print little wider all around, another
of light and finish out with a second
dark strip. You now have a large
square measuring about twenty-five
inches, something like four frames, one
within another, and each little wider
than the one before it. Don't work
around the center, but on oppo-
site sides. You will see why after
you begin. You will need to make
but five squares. To put il together
place one square on the middle of your
bed-not cornerwise, but square. Then
put the other one on each side of it,
cornerwise of the bed. Place one corner
exactly at the middle of the side of the
center square on all the four sides. The
rest of the quilt is to be filled out with
light print, except narrow border OF
dark all around the outside edge. 1t is
very odd and snowy. viii not some
other one of our Household tell us
about some old curious quilt, an heir
loom in the family?

rheumatism.

A valued friend of the Household
asks the editor if there is any cure
for I" hereditary rheumatism. Strictly
speaking, there is no such thing. But,
unquestionably, predispositions may be
inherited, like many other bodily i'm
PROJECTIONS. The most frequent pre-
disposing cause of rheumatism is weak
digestive power. This weakness may
not be so great as to be actual dyspep-
STA, 1. e., painful digestion, and the
stomach may therefore not be suspected;
yet there the trouble originates, almost
without exception. When digestion is
rightly performed the resulting pro-
duct (provided the food is wholesome)
contains no Initiative matter 1t is all
bland, harmless, nutritive, and when
changed to blood it carries to every part
of the body only restorative substance.
But when digestion is imperfect an
acid is generated in more or less abund-
ance which, transported over the body
in the blood, finds congenial resting
place in and about the joints. There,
in combination usually with the lime of
our food, which should go to repair the
wear of the bones, this acid forms limy
Jumps or grains, which interfere with
the motions of the joints, causing stiff
ness, swelling and pain. People inher-
iting this predisposition need to be
specially careful about overeating, or
in any way weakening their digestive
being fussy about achat is eaten as
there is to be careful not to oreredt.
An old physician once said that the
majority of mankind "dig their graves
with their teeth" Most of us would
be better nourished and sustained in
health by half the quantity of food
usually taken by Americans. Excess
sive hospitality is the cause of great
deal of sickness. Most hosts think po-
likeness requires them to earnestly urge
visitors to eat more than is good for
them, and to act as though sighted
when they decline, however politely.
Now, as rule, Yankee needs no urg-
ing to eat more than is good for him.
1t is not politeness to urge any one TO
destroy his health. We believe that
light eating and the very free use of
cold (not ice) water alone as drink
will cure most cases of chronic rheu-
matism. But we don't expect to make
many converts to this opinion.

Feeding Questions.

Inquirer " of Chelsea, VT, makes
the following inquiries:
"Will you please answer the follow
ing questions: CD What effect will a
ration of four or six quarts of potatoes
daily have upon the quantity and quail
ity of milk when they are fed to milch
COW? CD How can hog be fitted for
market, or family use, having the
largest obtainable amount of lean pork
and with the least amount of fat? (3)
What effect would skim milk have,
either before or after it sours, if fed to
a cow in milk? In other words, would
it retard the flow of milk, or is it of any
value as food for the cow?"
REPLIES BY THE AGRICULTURAL
EDIToR.-Q) Potatoes are very good
root for feeding cows, They have
about twice the nutritive value of tur-
nips, beets and carrots, and are every
way adapted to the purpose, but they
are usually worth more to sell than to
feed-that is, more nutriment than
they contain can be bought for the
money they will bring When the
value of any ration is asked, the ques-
ton cannot be rightly answered with
out knowing what is fed with it. We
may assume in this case that the pota-
toes are fed with hay. If hay were the
only other feed we should want to feed
a peck of potatoes daily to middle
