charding 1t was by Minnesota that
the department at Washington was
induced to import large variety of
Russian apples, the culture of which
has so encouraged orcharding in the
cold north. Minnesota has also pro-
duced the best iron clad seeding

on, as indicated by the last report of
the State Horticultural Society, for a
copy of which we are Indebted to its
energetic and able secretary. Its 400
pages are full of instruction and of the
spirit of intelligent progress. Mime

sort of monopoly, but every man will
live up to the rule, "freely we have
received, freely give"
OUR people are already doing this, in
some degree. The vast food exports
from our shores to overpopulated
Europe pay little or no profit to the
growers; and even our cotton farmers
claim that they get not hardly new
dollar for an old one. For this reason
great efforts are being made to di
versify southern farming, and already
dairying and breeding of all
kinds, as well as fruit production, are
taking on a vigorous growth in that
section. If we can maintain the prin-
ciples of our American government
unimpaired, and develop them freely,
there will come time when great
riches and great poverty will be I'M
known among us. But it will not be
under the tyrannous socialism which is
now temporarily popular Individual
freedom is even dearer than political
liberty; but the American means to
have both.
MANURE ON THE SURFACE.-A cor
respondent of the Plolcman remarks
that sin recent years the burthen of
testimony seems to favor surface APP
plication, and that there is no appre-
ciable loss by the evaporation of moist
ure. But if so, why? The moisture
certainly is chiefly liquid manure, and
these same writers are generally strenu-
Gus that liquid manure in liquid form
is of great value--suf1icient to warrant
its collection in expensive cisterns, and
its consequent application in an ex-
pensive way. There seems to be an
inconsistency here which justifies
demand for an explanation" There is
no inconsistency here to man who
understands the subject. The "moist-
ure" which evaporates from manure
when spread on the land contains none
of the elements of plant food. 1t is
pure water, and leaves behind it all
else that is useful to the soil. 1t seems
strange to us that in this day of general
information any man writing for the
papers should suppose that in the
evaporation of solutions the dissolved
solids go off into the air in steam.
Vermont farmers certainly know bet
terror pure and water-like as maple
sap appears, they are quite aware that
they lose none of its sugar in drawing
out its water by heat.

Annals of Horticulture.

LEGATION, entitled " Annals of Horti-
culture in North America for the Year
1882" 1t is issued by the Rural Pub
fishing Company, Times Building, New
York, and is neat cloth bound octave
of 249 pages, which every gardener,
private or commercial, ought to buy
forthwith. We have not space to give
its table of contents; but we can say
briefly that every page is rich in prac-
tical information, which the fine paper,
excellent printing and neat illustrations
make it luxury to study.

THE state must interfere, and that
vigorously, before we can havelEef-
fective education throughout the rural
districts. Instead of two little half
starved Normal Schools in Vermont,
there must be at least one in every
county, well equipped to fit the district
teachers to instruct their pupils not
only in the three Rs, but in the ele-
ments of the natural sciences, without
which no man can be a successful
farmer, except upon soil that does
not need manuring and skilled tillage
Until the Blair bill was defeated we
had hope that out of sympathy with
the negroes our own people might get
better schools at the national expense
But even then there is great risk of
such funds being diverted from their
purpose. How much has the agricul-
tural college fund helped our common
schools? What has the Huntington
fund done to improve them? 1t is a
sorrowful, pitiful sight to see how in
different the people of Vermont are to
the condition of her common schools,
outside of the large villages.

Notes by the Way.

NEVER forget that pigs in clover en-
Joy themselves and grow.
No species of slavery ever held man
with more relentless grasp than the
credit system.
IN many cases the manure is the
only profit in dairy COW, and too
often this is allowed to 90 to waste.
"SILOs have increased in Vermont
the last year at least thirty per cent"
says an exchange. Is this guess work?
To with certainty accord justice to
patrons, all milk received at the cream
cry must be sampled, tested and valued.
PICS often contract mango or other
skin diseases by not being properly
sheltered and not having a dry nest to
sleep in.
A LARGE number of French Canadi-
ans have recently gone to Aroostook
county, Maine, and settled on farms
along the river.
If any business on earth demands
method, system and the application of
correct business principles, that BUSH
ness is farming.
A SUDDEN change in the natural
color of the butter of a COW indicates
some radical change in her food or con-
dition, or perhaps both.
IT may be possible to make the indi-
viduals which make up large flock of
sheep do as well as when kept in small
numbers, but it is not an easy thing
to do.
DO not set your tubs or crooks of but
ter on the cellar bottom. If you do the
tubs will gradually draw moisture from
the earth and give the butter an earthly
flavor.
THE largest prices paid in the world
for butter are for butter made in pri-
vate diaries, simply because the best
butter in the world is made in private
diaries.
You can't afford to let the cows
shrink their mess because the pastures
give out any more than you can afford
to 90 without fire in winter because the
fuel is exhausted.
WE do not consider perpetual con-
fnement of man favorable to health
and longevity, nor do we believe it is
good for any kind of animal life, the
dairy COW included.
"A HEALTHY COW in good condition
generally makes higher-colored butter
than one in poor condition. says an
exchange. But some perfectly healthy
cows always make pale butter.
WHEN we live in good, comfortable
houses, do we think how many days
we would have to work in the village
to pay the rent on such house? Do
we give the farm credit for the same
If forty pounds of milk from one
COW have one pound more butter in it
than exists in the same quantity from
another cow, the owner of the first
milk should have pay for the extra
pound of butter.
Young men who despise the day of
small things should never try for the
position of successful farmers.
They will never reach the goal. Much
depends, in New England agriculture,
upon small things.
THE practice of sulphuring fruit for
the purpose of giving it clean, whit
ish appearance, is one to be condemned
and avoided. But as long as the public
will pay more for such fruit the prac-
tice will probably go on.
IT is a good way to feed pigs in a
side pen, from which the SOW only is
excluded, until they get so used to
feeding that they will supply all the
wants of the system and make but
slight drafts on the mother.

CREDIT. I've do not wish any of
our contemporaries to "give credit"
for anything in these columns of which
they want to make use. We do not
ask them to lead it, and put it under
the editorial head, for that would be
too much to ask-but we feel greatly
battered when they do it.. We have
nothing that we have not received; we
know nothing that we have not been
taught. There should be no property
in knowledge; and the mere way in
which it is expressed is not worth
patenting. When Gods kingdom has
really come on earth there will be no
patents, no copyrights, nor any other
sort of monopoly, but every man will
live up to the rule, "freely we have

On all our level land we have for
years spread manure in the fall, and
have always got more prompt and salts
factory results than when it has been
otherwise applied. Even on moderate
slopes, if the land is plowed across the
slope, the loss will not be so great as
the gain-especially if the blowing and
spreading are done early, so that the
soluble part of the manure has a
chance to be soaked into the earth be-
fore it freezes. In the spring, land so
prepared in the fall can be worked
with the Getaway harrow, and sown or
planted much earlier than otherwise.
We this year had seventeen acres sown
to small grain, and had got most of our
potatoes planted, before our neighbors
had been able to get in anything. In
Vermont these are advantages not to
be sighted. -
ACCORDING to the New York Ex-
pertinent Stations report, the average
value of hen manure, per fowl, is about
twelve cents year. Pure and dry it
is worth, as compared with fertilizers,
about S12 per ton. In this form it has
about two per cent each of ammonia
and phosphoric acid, and one per cent
of potash. -

THE common schools of the farming
districts must be thoroughly remodeled
before farming will be much improved,
for the large majority of our farmers
get all their learning in them. AS they
are, they teach nothing well, even of
what little they pretend to teach. The
teachers, as body, understand their
trade even less than the farmers. The
whole basis of the American school
system is literary, while for the indus
trial classes it should be scientific. But
even as literary teaching it is blank
failure throughout the rural districts.
1t is very rare to find graduate of the
country schools who can read, write
and cipher to much purpose. 1t is a
mistake that popular education is uni
versal in New England. Nearly every
native citizen can make a scrawl which
he calls his signature, and can read a
little, but not well enough to make
reading easy to him-much less a
pleasure, or means of acquiring
knowledge. For this reason thousands
of our farmers never read at all. The
women on the farms read better than
the men, but their reading is mostly
limited to the story papers. One paper
only-the Youths Companion-among
all the city weeklies is doing great
educational work among our people.
We have known children to be stimu-
lated to learn to read, who otherwise
never would have learned, by the de-
sire to read this wide y-circulated pa
per. In itself such publication is an
educational force.
