BROOKLYN, Dec. 2S.-Dr. Talmage's
sermon today was appropriate to the
season.. Its subject was the Christmas
jubilee. \ crowd which filed the
Academy of Music in every part list
ened to it in the morning, and another
enormous audience thronged the New
York Academy of Music to hear it in
the evening, when the doctor preached
under the auspices of The Christian
Herald. His text was Luke ii, 10:

Amid a thousand mercies we give
each other holiday congratulations.
By long established custom we eX-
hort each other to healthful merri-
ment. BY gift, by Christmas trees
which blossom and fruit in one night,
by early morning surprise, by clusters
of lighted candles, by children's process

WE confess to have been led into di-
erosion in the above remarks from the
strictly practical line on which we sat
out. Next to the saving of the immense
waste of fertilizing material on nearly
every one of our farms would be the
advantage of general and wide cult
walton of the clover plant, both as a
rich feeding material and cheap,
handy and effective means of directly
enriching the land. The best practice,
according to our own experience, seems
to be to SOW the clover without grain
and hay it the first year; then take off
one cutting the next season, and pillow
under the second crop in the fall. On
this clover ley" as the English call
it, first-class crop of wheat can be
grown; while the next season it will be
all right for potatoes or corn, with a
small allowance of some commercial
fertilizer The next year the piece
may be continued in hoed crops with
fertilizers, or MANFRED and seeded with
barley to mixed grasses. In this way
there is paying crop each year, if the
seasons admit.

FARMERS in every corn-growing To-
cality should develop varieties of corn
suited to the existing conditions, and
raise seed to sell. And other farmers
should encourage such work by paying
well for well-preserved seed of varieties

their needs.

OUR collegians grin at the idea
that these story papers are literature;
but whether literature or not, their
vogue is the result of the literary
origin of our educational system. Col
legians may vince and squirm and

statement, but the literary origin and
tendency of all our" higher education "
is Just what has made the story paper
more popular in the farmhouse than
the agricultural paper. Our common
schools, academies" and even our
English high schools, are all on a liter
airy basis; and, contrasted with that
scientific basis on which the whole
education of the industrial classes
ought to stand, and must stand before
anything like a high order of work can
be expected to exist among our people
in any branch of industry, they are out

OATS are suffering all over the state
from rust and the attacks of insects.
In New York wheat and rye are in a
bad condition from the attack of green
lice, the increase of which has been
much favored by excessive wet seasons.
1t is stated that the oat crop will prob
ably be the shortest harvested for many
years. We have some rust on our own
oat field, but at this date Gully 14) it
has not gained any for more than a
week. The newer leaves are free from
it, and heading is going on rapidly.
Barley is rather worse than oats, but
rye and wheat are nearly free, as yet,
from injury, and the former, now in
the milk, promises good crop.

the advantages of no need of ice, of no
danger of the butter spelling on the
way to market; it is a season of the
year when other farm work is not
pressing, and there is not much else to
do but to attend to the COWS.
PLowING under peas, as fertilizer,
is strongly recommended and consider
ably practced by improving farmers in
the South, and this has led some north
ern editors to commend it. But the
southern "cow pea" used for this pur-
pose, is really bean, and is not so
well suited to the North, for a green
manure, as clover. If there was any
possible way to get our New England
farmers to realize the value of the
clover plant as a fertilizer it would do
more to improve our farms than any
other one thing. There is always a
reason, when an apparently good thing
is not generally accepted-and the
chief reason why the growing of pure
clover, either for feed or fertilizing
makes little or no Roadway in New
England is simply that it is little diff
fcult to cure and handle it. The diff
Guilty is really not so great, yet it is
enough to deter the great majority of
our farmers from engaging in it, so
that though all SOW clover-seed with
grass, field of pure clover is rather a
rare sight.
WHAT is the trouble with the clover
crop for hay? Well, it is just the
trouble of the root crop-it requires a
little more knowledge, and little more
get up and get" than the bulk of our
farmers have attained to. If some
body would invent a way of handling
clover that will make clover haying as
cheap and easy as herdsgrass or mixed
having, the farmers would all take to it
like ducks to water. Glover seems to
prove a good ensilage crop; but even
for that it is not quite so nice, easy and
handy as corn, and that little difference
knocks it out. Even the ensilage of
corn, though very popular, has not be-
come general. Not more than six or
eight per cent of Vermont farmers
have a silo. The truth is that a real
progressive agriculture, such as New
England is suffering for, is impossible,
until there is marked improvement in
our educational system. The ma Ority
of even Yankee farmers are too litter
ate to be able to get much useful in
formation about their business from a
printed page. That is the reason why
the agricultural press has such COM
paratively small circulation. Our best
agricultural weeklies, and but few of
these, reach circulation of only 10000,
while the silly story papers go among
our people by millions, because they
call for no thought in their readers.

Editorial NOtings.

THAT sheep.feeding in New England
must be on mutton basis, to be gen.
orally profitable, is pretty plain. In
this, as in matchmaking of any kind,
skilful feeding is what counts. CO A
lamb on the Hampshire, Wiltshire or
Berkshire downs rises to partake of
vetches and sliced mangels, and after
ward enjoys varied diet of dried food
rape leaves and white cabbage. He
is next allowed to roam over clover
heads, and returns to his lair on the
vetches.' How does that compare
with some of our work? And we won
der that they beat us ~ exclaims
Brother Gilbert of the Maine Farmer.
Yes; animal farming of all sorts, to be
profitable, requires as much knowledge
and skill as any business in the world.
The young man who graduates at the
head of bis class at Harvard or Yale
would scarcely know too much for sue
cess as a breeder and feeder of mutton
sheep.
IT is commonly believed in the East
ern States that corn is not fit food for
horses. 1t is certainly not suitable as
an exclusive feed-but with other grain
it produces the best results in the great
horse states of Kentucky and Illinois,
A good deal of our prejudice against
corn comes to us from the British
islands, where they can't grow it, and is
thus expressed by an old Irish trainer:
" What your horses want is far less
corn and far more oats Corn! why,
corn is only fit for hog or stall-fed
bullock" -
CHEATING is at the top, bottom, mid
die, sides and all through the business
of handling the fast horse. We con-
stantly hear of men refusing to trot
their horses in certain races if their
time is correctly given. The self
deceived men who don't like the name
of gambling, though they have the
gambling spirit, will protest against
this universal practice, as shown in the
following extract from an exchange:
"'My colt trotted in 2:40, but the
judges gave me 2:44i so l might keep
in the 45 class How often in private
conversation one hears a remark like
the above, and the fact that this is done
is positive injury to every race held.
Honest races, honestly driven and hon
estly judged, will always please, though
the time be slow, but the slightest at
tempt at fraud is sure to be an injury.
There are many new men who, if placed
in the stand, will judge fairly and i'm
partially, and they are the men we want
to fill the positions. Give us good,
square, honest races this year, on every
track, whether under or without rules"
But what does all this protesting
amount to? The trotting-horse man,
in his perfect development, is a skilled
gambler and knows all a gamblers
tricks. To suppose that he will be
honest and fair, when he can gain
dollar by being otherwise, merely shows
the supposer to be simpleton, fit to be
the victim of sharpers.
OATS are suffering all over the state
from rust and the attacks of insects.
