Hobart H., son of Judson and Jerusha Morris, born May 4, 1877, died January G, 1891. He had for several years been passing away with what is sometimes called ''old folks consumption and was great sufferer, bearing his appointed lot with patience and Christian resigna- tion. He was a leading man of the town up to the time when he was shelved by disease. He has borne various town of fees ably and we'll. His life was of even tenor and he went in and out among us with the respect and good will of his fel- low citizens. Quiet and unobtrusive, he ever showed himself the true neighbor and friend in all his relations. Having finished his allotted work, he returned to the Master in whom he believed and trusted.

airs to an interest in science, as well as
breaking up the monotony of ordinary
school exercises. A simple work on
physics is Cooley's Elements of Nat
ural Philosophy" For beginner in
chemistry, Brewster's First Book of
Chemistry" is highly recommended.
Morse's " First Book of Zoology" is
one of the best for beginners.
Probably more copies of Steele's
Fourteen Weeks in the various sci
enCes have been sold in this country than
all the other textbooks on science of the
same grade put together. These have
now been superseded by new edition
called Steele's popular Sciences"
These should be adopted in place of the
old edition, as such rapid progress has
been made in science that the Four
teen Weeks series is now out of date.
The Popular Series - is excellent for
those who wish to read up on these sub
jects. An admirable work to accom-
pany the Popular Zoology" is
Glimpses of the Animate World"
Children of all ages are fond of stories
of animals, and Johonnott's Natural
History Series" to which the last
named book belongs, is the most at
tractive and interesting | have seen.
Every farmer should have a copy of
Gray's Lessons and Manual of Bot
any," and the children would be de-
lighted with How Plants Behave"
and How Plants Grow" The best
brief and popular work on geology is
Dana's theological Story Briefly
Told" His manual is the best ad-
vanced work on this subject. The
above are published by the American
Book Company, New York.
The best book for home study in
physics is Cages " Elements of Phys
ics," as its experiments are mostly to
be performed with simple apparatus.
For those who wish to study the latest
developments in electrical science,
Cages Introduction to Physical
Science" is a most excellent work.
To many, astronomy is most fascinat-
ing subject For those who desire a
standard work on this subject by a
specialist, would recommend "Ele-
ments of Astronomy" by Young.
These are issued by Ginu & Company,
Boston.
Chemistry is a difficult science to
study at home, because little real knowl-
edge can be gained unless the student
sees experimental work performed or
does it himself. The same is true of
physics, but experiments in this science
are far more easily and safely per-
formed than are experiments in chem
istry. OF course, one can get a certain
knowledge of chemistry by merely
reading textbook, and this is better
than no knowledge at all; but, if posi-
BILE, one should do at least a little ex-
detrimental work. The best book for
home use, think, is Appleton's Guam
titative Analysis" (Silver, Burdette
& Co., Boston.)
All around us are wonders to be
studied. Study brings mental strength,
but how many young people prefer to
spend the feeting hours of their lives
|
in frivolity and their spare moments in
that which weakens and dissipates mind
and body. To all such, science studies
are to be commended.

THE Dairy World says: In order to
get cheese ready for market in from
twelve to fourteen days from the hoop, a
large amount of rennet must be used to
quickly coagulate the milk; but slight
trace of acid must be tolerated or there
will be too much lirmness to overcome,
and for the same reason salt is used in
sparing proportion. The result is that
the activity of the rennet, unhampered
by acid or salt, soon mellows the cheese
into edible quality which, if quickly
consumed, answers all purposes; but
if not, woe be to its future flavor, for
it possesses no stable foundation to
stand upon.

The Value of Science Studies.

A common criticism of the public
school is that the pupils powers of
observation are not trained. The
memory is mainly developed by our
present system of education. Natural
science, studied Alright, puts an end to
this one-sided training. The right way
to study science is by object lessons
studying nature herself Not that
books are to be laid aside, but to
simply study book about plants or
animals without observing the plant or
animal is to miss the best part of sci
ence study. When one sets about the
study of nature, he soon comes to love
the occupation. There is a charm,
delight, in the observing Of natural
phenomena and in watching and read
ing about plants, their structure and
GROWTH learning wonderful facts
about the animal life around us. If
young men would take up the study of
one or more of the natural sciences and
occupy their spare time with it, they
would escape many temptation which
lies in wait for idle hands. The read
ing of evil books, the going with evil
companions, will find little or no place
in the life of a young person who is
studying the wonders of nature. Men
have been studying the earth and its
productions for many years, and the
knowledge they have gained, classified
and written out, composes our text
books OF science. 1t is true that there
are theories which are not proved,
some of which will be discarded, and a
class of men called scientists array
themselves against God and the Bible:
but because some men have done this,
shall we leave off the study of science?
BY no means. To the man of faith,
the works of nature are proof of the
wisdom, power and goodness of God.
Their study leads him to God, and not
away from him.
1t is amazing how content men are
to be ignorant of what is about them.
Especially is it to be wondered at that
farmers, men who have constantly to
do with nature, should willingly be ig-
norant of the facts and conclusions of
science Yet how few books of sci
ence are to be found in the homes of
the majority of our farmers. But they
were not taught science in school, and
their parents gave them no instruction
at home. Their children are coming
up in the same way. Our school teach
ers know little or nothing of even the
elements of science. This need not be
So There are simple works on sci
ence which teachers could easily mas
ter and obtain information which they
could impart to their pupils in five or
ten minute talks. Such course would
fix what they learn more fully in the
teachers mind. Paul Bert's " Primer
of Scientific knowledge is the most
elementary book of science that know
of, but his First Steps in Scientific
knowledge" is better for most pur-
poses. Crhe j. b. Lippinc Company
Philadelphia). These books contain
many interesting experiments in sci
ence, and the latter work is well
adapted for young people or teachers
in common schools who desire to study
nature. Another little book specially
prepared for use in common schools is

! ical Science" Teachers would find

sary expenses in New Haven for the
three years required to complete the
regular course of study as now given
at Storrs."

THERE are thousands of barns in the
country, built many years ago, when
few thought of easements, or the saw
ing of manure they effect. The stables
in these old barns had floors, through
the cracks of which cold came in winter,
and manure, especially that in liquid
form, was wasted at all seasons of the
year. Here, sheltered from rains, this
liquid manure has lain until it entirely
saturates the soil for great depth be-
meath it. Dig it out, and spread it on
your grass.

PROFESSOR SANBoRN says it is true
that wheat taken from a good to a poor
soil will yield less than it did on the
good farm, yet it will yield more than
the seed grown on the poor soil will
yield. 1t is true that seed taken from
a poor to good farm will yield more
on good farm than on The poor farm,
but yet not as much as seed grown on
the good farm; hence, all changes, as
said, must be from good to poorer con
ditions if the party changing is to de-
rive any advantage.

REPLY.-The insect enquired about
is probably the apple maggot, Trypeta
PomoneIla being the name given it by
the entomologists. 1t came from the
West, and is known in many places as
the railroad worm, Its appearance
eastward being along the line of rail-
road communication. 1t reached Yer
mont about twenty years ago, and is
doing much harm. In regard to the
polarisuopic tests of sugar, we can only
say that light is differently acted upon
in passing through solutions of sugar,
according to their quality. Cane sugar
refracts, or bends, the light one way,
and grape sugar Called dextrine) the
opposite way. When the two sugars
are mixed, as in maple sugar, the pro-
portion of each is indicated by the de-
gree and direction of this refraction as
shown by the polariscupo. For full
explanation, see some good encyclo-
pedia.

Your instructive discussion of the
climatic conditions under which apple
trees will succeed reminds me of a curl
Gus fact in their history, in one in
stance. H. Plainfeld, N. H., were two
brothers who had two farms near to-
gether. They planted two orchards
with trees from their fathers nursery,
on one of the farms the seeds having
been brought by the father from Plain
field, Conn. OF the apples there
from thu writer had very extern
sive experience, when boy, in long
days work in picking them up. The
fact, so queer to me, was that in the
two orchards there were apples enough,
of one kind, to make forty barrels of CT
der. They were below the medium
size and flesh. colored,- September
apple and a perfect pie-apple, seven
bushels going to barrel of cider.
Apropos of apples in the valley of
the Connecticut river sixty-six years
ago, they were fair, large, generous in
yield and of fine quality. This was
true except upon the river bottoms.
Upon the second benches and slopes
to the river, the fruit never failed.
The climate is peculiar in this the
summer fogs made very cool and moist
mornings, preceded by damp and cool
evenings. Some insects-the grass
hopper, for example, never fourished
in the valley lowlands.
Pardon me if ask for another help.
Will you explain to us farmers the po-
larization of light and the practical use
of the polariscope in its application in
the test of our sugar? / asked the
Ne,O York Tribune to explain, but have
never seen any explanation in that or
any other paper.
