The corn crop raised this year by Dr.
Sholes on the Oak Ridge farm, Dummer-
ston, is worth making a note of. On one
field of 1850 square rods, or 81 acres, he
has harvested 3343 baskets of 40 pounds to
the basket, and has put into four silos 40
two-horse loads of slower. The baskets,
measured in the ordinary way, contain one
bushel and four quarts each. The variety
of corn is the Oak Ridge Prolific. 1t was
planted May 18th to 23d and the harvesting
has been done in the past two weeks The
corn was all cribbed in the field, where it
now is and will remain till winter, or until
used The method of harvesting was this ::
Two men, taking two rows of corn each
went ahead cutting up the corn and throw
ing it into piles of convenient size Ten
huskers followed, and after the huskers
came two two-horse teams to carry the
slower to the silos where it was cut up by
steam power and packed away by five men.
The harvesting force thus numbered 20
men, with the doctor himself as overseer.
This record shows that all the successful
farming on large scale is not done in the
West. DR.. Sholes has probably come as
near as any man in New England to re
ducing corn raising to a science, and if a
crop as large as this has been grown this
year on any one field in New England we
shall be glad to hear from it.

The Murder of Treen.

That excellent paper, the Garden and
Forest, suggest that tree which willis dur
ing prolonged drouth ought not to be cut
down, for it may revive another spring.
A tree thus suffering requires not only
water but an improvement of the soil.
Grass and weeds should be removed from
the ground about the tree as far as the
roots extend, and either rich loan or ma
nure of a suitable kind should be freely ap-
piled and partially Incorporated with the
surface stratum. If enough water is then
given it from time to time to dissolve the
new supply of food, the tree is likely not
only to live, but to grow much more vigor-
ously than before Great numbers of trees
in our towns grow very slowly, become en-
feebled and perish at last, not on account
of drouth alone, but because of exhaustion
of the soil and an inadequate food supply.
The people of "A town ought not to remain
comfortably Indifferent while the noble
trees which embower their daily walks are
starving TO death. They should take meas
ures for their relief Very often it would
he better not TO plant so many trees unless
they are taken care of afterward In
many instances ArborDay planting is the
ceremonious murder of beautiful young
trees which are put into the ground with
songs and orations, and are, apparently,
not thought of afterward.

Our Agricultural Colleges.

The following is copied from an interest
ing article on Agricultural Education, I"
printed IN the October number of the New
England Magazine;
The history of the rise and progress of
agricultural education in this country is "A
story of the enthusiasm and devotion of
the few opposing the class prejudice of
the many; and though the former have
gained the day, so that agricultural educa-
ton is one of the watchwords of the pres
ent generation, there still remain signs of
what the opposition was a few decades
since. The phrase that "any fool can
farm has been repeated with endless and
senseless iteration, and still sums up as
well as anything, perhaps, the argument
against agricultural education.
Prominent among those who helped in
augurate this movement in the United
States was the late Marshall P. Wilder
As long ago as lS49 in an address deliver
ed before the Norfolk Agricultural society
he advocated the establishment of a school
where " scientific and practical agriculture
should be taught" Mainly through his
exertions, a bill was prepared the following
year and submitted to the legislature of
Massachusetts, providing for the establish
ment of an agricultural college and expert
mental farm. This bill was passed by the
Senate without dissenting vote, but was
rejected by the House.
About the same time the state agricul-
tural society of Michigan was considering
similar project, and in January, 1850, a
committee from that body memorialized the
legislature for the establishment of an in
stitution where should he taught "those
branches of education which will tend to
render agriculture not only a useful, but a
learned and liberal profession, and its cul-
tivators not the bone and sinew merely.
but ornaments of society," While there
was no direct result from this appeal, ex
cept the awakening of public interest in
the movement, it may be noted here that
this, and the subsequent increasing agta-
ton of the subject, finally secured for
Michigan the first school in this country
where the sole object was intelligent inves-
tigation and the application of science in
agriculture. Other states followed closely
in this lead, and the sentiment in favor of
higher agricultural education was becoming
so widespread that in 1869 Congress passed
bill which had been originally submitted
by Hon. Justin S. Morrill, four years pre-
viously, granting a large amount of the
public lands to the respective states for the
purpose of establishing colleges "where the
leading object shall be, without excluding
other scientific and classical studies. and
including military tactics, to teach such
branches of learning as are related to agri-
culture and the mechanic arts, in such a
manner as the legislatures of the respective
states may prescribe, in order to promote
the liberal and practical education of the
industrial classes in the several pursuits
and professions of life"

VERMONT DAIRY INTERESTS.


suggestions From an Old Time Real
dent of the State.
Assuming that anything coming from
representative Vermont dairyman will be
of interest to your readers, quote from
letter just received from Hon. E. H Cleve
land, Franklin, Franklin county, of that
state
Orr dairy matters in this county are
getting somewhat mixed. The creamery
men are determined to get control of the
dairy business entirely. They now pro
pose to work on the cooperative plan and
make all patrons participate in the profits :;
also to put in sufficient number of sepa-
ratOrs, and at points to accommodate all
dairymen, so as not to have any dairy but
ter made. They also offer to credit each
dairyman with all that his milk will call for
by analysis. In that way they hope to get
the Jersey diaries They are cautiously
working around to persuade us into the en-
terprise but so long as can out sell them
in the market | cannot see the advantage
For the month of August our milk from
sixteen cows, if sold as they buy this year,
would have brought us $5S. The butter
made in that month brought us $780, and
certainly we would rather work the milk at
home than carry it to the separator What
the result of the present movement will be
l cannot tell, but think by the way they
are operating they calculate to control the
market in Vermont in the future. Our
cows are not doing as well this year as last,
and this is general complaint.
There are several points in the quotation
from Mr.. Cleveland's letter that deserve
attention. and from which lessons can be
learned. In the first place he has dairy
composed of Jerseys, and the inference is
that there are, in his section, other diaries
of the same kind. To secure such diaries
seems to be the desire of the creamery pro
prietors. This shows that the value of
special purpose cows is appreciated by
practical men in the dairy business. The
second point Mr.. Cleveland not only has
special purpose cows, but seeks a special
market, and as a result his dairy brings
more money by nearly one hundred per
cont than if he sent his milk to the public
creamery. The third point shows he has
the labor of butter making reduced to the
minimum, making it so light that he con
siders it less than that of carrying his milk
to the factory. The lesson TO be derived
from this point is the advantage of having
improved utensils, those that not only i'm
prove the product but save labor.
Mr. Cleveland was one of the first in
northern Vermont to purchase and use i'm
proved cream raising apparatus. He at
first used creamer, purchasing it in 1878,
laying it aside in 1879 for portable cream
ery-preferring the latter as there was, in
using it, no lifting of cans. He is now
using one of still later construction. For
the past ten years very few dairymen in
Vermont have made their diaries pay as
well as Mr.. Cleveland has made his dairy
pay, Therefore his methods are worthy of
consideration. f.. W MosELEy

There is much activity in the garden
now, although the fading flowers and vel
low leaves speak more of decay than lively
action, says a writer in the Boston Journal
All large greenhouse gardeners are max
ing cuttings in sand beds. The scientific
method of planting geraniums is explained
by the gardener at Central Park as fol
lows: "The cuttings should be from five
to six inches long. All the leaves should
be stripped off close to the sprout. except
the top ones This is done to prevent too
great an evaporation of moisture. The
cutting should be firmly planted to depth
of one aud a half or two inches. In two
or three weeks the cutting takes root and
is ready to be ported, and either put in a
hotbed for the winter or stored away in
another greenhouse. If the geranium is
needed for winter blooming, the plant
should be potted in a small pot filed with
rich loan, then cut back till it looks like a
small stump, and put in some sunny place
Each year there is a greater appreciation
of ANIMALS for the winter garden, and seeds
are now sown in the fall with as much
pleasure and hope as in the spring. There
is an eager desire for morning glories
which blossom as brightly in winter as in
summer, though the plant refuses to climb
in cold weather. A pot filed with half d
dozen morning glories will be feast OF
winter bloom. Nasturtiums are planted
singly in pots. The best authorities say
that the trop9olum major, with bright
crimson flowers, can be trained around
windows with blooming vines. Petunia,
are now being planted in rather small pots
Among other seeds recommended for tn,
winter garden are the white Towering
candytuft, mignonette, phlox and sweet
alysums. Added to the geraniums, bego
Mas, ivies and calendulas, with as many
bulbs as can be afforded, the ANIMALS viii
make delightful display of blossoms al
small expense. The windows Of hardy
flowers, which one notices each winter
proves that greenhouse is not necessary
for the cultivation of plants or for theil
best enjoyment. With painted tin can,
and four or five papers of seeds, the eco
nomical housewife may prepare a winter
garden that will give constant pleasure t
the family. The vase of bright nastur
tiums on the table will seem all the gayel
from the personal care devoted to theil
cultivation.

In its closing weather-crop bulletin for
the season Of 1890 the New England mete
geological society says that the good wealth
er before last weeks severe frost enabled
the farmers generally to get their crops out
of the way of injury. Corn is secured in
good condition. Late potatoes have stop
ped rotting, but in many cases the early
varieties have rotted in the bin. Fruit of
all kinds is high and scarce. Garden truck
is abundant, excepting tomatoes and grapes.
In many places the second crop of grass
has not been cut because the first crop
furnished more hay than the farmers knew
what to do with. 1t is safe to say that on
the whole the season has been more than
an average one, and far better for the
farmers than last year

The Old Farm Homo,

II you've been happy rover
Through the fields Of fragrant clover
Where life is all simple round of bliss
When at eve the sun is sinking
And the stars are family winking
You can call TO mind picture such as this:
Hank; The COWS are homeward roaming
Through the woodland pastures cleaning,
l can hear them gently lowing through the dells
And from out the bosky dingle
Comes the softly tangled Jingle
And the oftrepeated echo of the bells.
Strange how memory will Hing her
Arms about the scenes we bring her,
And the tieeting years that make them stronger
grow;
Though wander far and sadly
From that dear old home, how gladly
recall the cherished scenes Of long ago:
Hark The cows are homeward roaming
Through the woodland pastures cleaning,
| can hear them gently lowing through the dells
And from out the bosky dingle
Comes the softly tangled jingle
And the Oft-repeated echo of the bells
