Economic Seed Manure.

Last year packages were sent by mail
from a large seed establishment, la.
beled " Economic seed manure" and
giving directions for use, and claiming
that it would prevent plant diseases
and hasten termination and growth.
Enough for sixty pounds of seed, four
ounces, cost only fifty cents. A pack
age of this fell into the hands of the au-
thorities at the New York station, aud
was used according to directions, with
no beneficial effect whatever in regard
to termination or growth. Analysis
showed it to be worth, at the market
price of its few fertilzing elements,
S3l.91 per ton, or about the same as
average phosphate. So when it was
sold in the fifty cent packages there
was handsome profit, unless the labor
of putting it up was expensive. Fifty

provement of the stock. That was
about all we could expect to achieve
while the western exodus continued.
But we now see a chance for something
better. Overpopulated Europe still
sends crowds to our shores; and the
time has come when the unsettled
lands of New England, even more than
her more or less abandoned hill home
steads, really offer to the better class
of immigrants opportunities at least
equal to anything they are likely to
meet with elsewhere.
AS to the farmers of Vermont, their
principal grief is the low money value
of much of their land-land quite as
productive as ever, but neglected for
the free farms of the West A very
moderate immigration into the state,
taking up the cheap farms, and popu-
lating them with industrious workers,
will at once check the decline of real
estate values, and before long will re-
store that which has so naturally, yet to
many so mysteriously fallen off-the
selling price of farms, never more pro-
ductive or profitable than they are to-
day,

skilled in taste and eye to tell whether
their butter is really good or not. OF
course, according to their standard it is
most excellent, but judged by an eX-
pert palate it is inferior. 1t is quite
difficult task to make man believe
that he does not manufacture Just as
superb butter (more delicious even) as
can be made, and the chances are big
that he will take offense if you criticise
his product, which really belongs to the
mediocrity. Now this state of things,
both of spirit and taste, must be changed,
in order for the best progress to be
made. Why, we know butter-makers-

tanned fair price for it-who are de-
luded by their own ignorance and the
ordinary amount of success they have
achieved into believing that no neces-
sity exists for them to make any change
in their butter-that it is good enough,
better than any butter they ever saw,
and they make profit in marketing it.
1t is too bad that such egotistical feel
ings exist. The sooner they are buried
the better.-Mirror and Farmer.

Copper Wire and Rivets.

| am surprised to find to how many
uses copper wire and rivets may be
put We use wire about our stove
pipes as a matter of course. | find
copper wire very useful in rebinding
my baskets. Every one knows how
liable the binding to the rim of baskets
is to get out of order when subject to
hard usage. When splints are scarce
nothing answers so good purpose as
copper wire. 1t is tough, and yet so
pliable that il can be wound tightly
and firmly secured. 1t answers also
just AS well good many other pur-
poses. 1t is good plan to keep about
three sizes on hand. Rivets are equally
handy. Any hardware merchant has
them for sale. For mending old bar
ness, halters aud other things where
leather is used, they are handy and
quickly used. Oftentimes a few rivets
save quite bill at the harness-maker's
besides saving valuable time, and any
body can use them.-EGchange.

A Hint to Dairymen.

AS rule mich cows get tepid water
to drink in summer and live in a warm
atmosphere; and most dairymen must
have observed that the largest flow of
milk is on the hottest days, while a
cool day, especially if accompanied with
rain, causes or witnesses decrease in
the flow of milk. This shows that the
change to cooler weather and from dry
to wet in some way lays tax upon the
system of the COW, which she pays by
taking it out of the milk. There ought
to be in this fact hint to dairymen
to provide suitable shelter for their
cows at all seasons of the year, and to
endeavor to make it as comfortable for
them as possible.-HOard'S Ddiryman.

Selecting Papers TO Read.

The Maine Farmer says, truly, that a
farmer can not be too careful in the
selection of papers he reads. He wants
a paper devoted to the interests of the
farming public, rather than to the in
dividual; that recognizes merit wher-
ever it exists; that takes the broad and
independent ground of dealing justly
by all interests and planting itself
squarely and standing firmly on truth
and honesty; that does not whif1le with
every passing sensation, but stands for
the right and marches steadily on with
its work, safe and reliable guide for
its followers. Such paper-level,
candid, honest-may not be noisy, but
it will be a power for good to those who
read it.

FOOt.ROt in Cattle.

This disease is of two forms, simple
and contagious, and the latter is mainly
recognized by its spread through herd
without any sufficient local cause in
management or character of soil occu-
pied. The symptoms are lameness and
sores between or about the claws, vary
ing in severity according to the extent
of the trouble. 1t is most common in
herds that are pastured on soft, DOGGY
lands, where the hoof is not worn away
as fast as it grows, or on hard, stony
land, where the hoof is worn down to
the quick. 1t also occurs on clayey
soils, where the spaces between the
claws are liable to be clogged with the
dried clay.

A WRITER says: " have never known
a sea-captain to make failure of farm
ing, while a lawyer seldom succeeds at
the business. The reason for this |
believe to be because the captain learns
the value of discipline and the economy
of time. He has to keep his wits and
his men constantly active on ship-board
to secure the best results. This be-
comes fixed habit with him, and APP
piled to farming it amounts to assured
prosperity"
