value to people In quite wide area at
the leeward. A special study OF the
cold waves had been made by the wealth
rr bureau. In the Billiards Of the north
west the temperature sometimes changed
10 OF - degrees in Is many minutes. A
change Of this extent in New England
usually occupies some l. hours. The
frost warnings now afforded were OF
great value to Agricultural purposes.
In s.ances were related where people had
awaited themselves Of these warnings to
their gre at advantage. A few years ago
Il Florida orange man saved his grove
BY burning his fences and barns to make
smoke against the frost. He saved his
oranges and in the general ruin Of the
crop that year made far more than the
cost OF his barn and fences. Three frost
warnings were sent by telegraph from
l. to q hours in advance. Various
systems Of frost warnings were employed
and many suggested. One Of the best
idea, Mr.. Smith thought. was that of
warning By church bells.
Smudges are now used with great sue
cess ia the West. the South. especially
in the cranberry districts. These
smudges are made in various ways
Bru, h makes good smoke and tar and
sawdust were both employed in cel tain
sections, the tar arranged so as to drip
and make dense smoke. One Of the
bes: materials for making dense smokes,
however, is the dried peat or muck cut
up from the tuif Of the cranberry hogs
and thoroughly dried.
President Fernald OF the State College
was present at the Bowdoinham meeting
acd highly commended the work Of See
Rotary Mckeen in his endeayors to ex
tend the practical uses Of this system
among our farmers. He thought it was
very much to the credit Of the BowdOin-
ham Grange and the people that they
had devised a new idea in signaling that
was possessed of great promise. He
thought the government met the people
more than half way, il fac, did about
made their own observations and had for
some three years past. AS to weather
and temperature. They have found out
that there was danger sometimes OF
frost when it was least expected. But
what was wanted was the practical
method for displaying signals through
out the State. Our State was now very
imperfectly applied with signal stations.
particularly in the northerly portion,
But he hoped much for the new system
and believed that good results would
follow its discussion at our farmer
meetings.

Savings.
American Economist,

There is probably no greater test Of the
prosperity Of . people than the amount of
money left over after all expenses Of living
are paid. This amount may be placed in
the bank or invested In real estate or other
wise.
The deposits in savings banks are largely
made by the wage Garner the moneys Of
the manufacturer and merchant being in
their business.
In Great Britain, with a population Of
38 900 900, where free trade reigns, there
are, $685., O0O, 900 deposited in savings
banks, or Sl4 per capita.
Ia New York, with protected industries
and 4 population Of COCO, 600, there are
$50 900, 900 deposited in savings banks, or
$50 par capita. 70
In Rhode Island the per cspits savings
are sl75 per capita.
Ia Massachusetts over $50.
In the whole United States the savings
bsubs deposits amounted in 1880 to ST.
524 ,8ti ,506. But this only repre- ,nts =
part Of the savings OF American working
men. Millions Of dollars are now put in
Building and Loan Associations. Insurance
Companies, numerous Benefit Associations
and many other places for future needs.
And yet with all this the laborers Of this
country, because Of the high wages ms ured
them BY our protective tariff, live far b ettef
than the vorkmen of other countries.
Wendell Phillips said:
The mainspring Of our progress is high
wages-vsges 1t such level that the work
ingnan can spare his wife to presid. over .
home. can command leisure, 60 to lectures,
take . Newspaper, and lift himself from

Early Pruning Of Frnit Trees.

While looking over the fruit trees at
this season of the year with view to
necessary pruning, the danger Of leaving
two erect leading shoots with only a
narrow angle between them should be
Kept In mind. Such growth il pretty
sure to split apart and wreck the tree
and its whole crop when heavily weight
ed with fruit. Often they yield to storm
alone, for as they press against each other
in growing that alone tends to break them
apart. The remedy is to reduce the one,
saying the other to take the lead. Be
