The Other Side.
BY HULDAH.


A country girls life isn't always gay,
Though you'd think so from what you
read;
To find out the facts, just try it yourself,
And see what lives they lead
Where is the pleasure in chasing chickens
Out of the onion bed?
The poetry of washing dishes2
The romance of making bread2
You read how "she goes at evening
To milk the mild.eyed kine;"
There's hardly girl in the lot that car
milk
Not more than one in nine.
Perhaps it's fun TO drag rake
All over five-acre lot.
Show me the pleasure in it, please,
Especially when it's hot.
And the long and quiet evenings
(At seven she goes to beds
There's a chattel mortgage on all the stock
And leaky roof DER her head.

PROFESSOR BUDD of the Iowa Agri-
cultural College thus remarks on the
Longfeld apple, one of the newer sorts
from Russia. We say newer" for
although it is on the government list as
imported in 1870, nobody seemed to
know anything about it until lately:
"The exhibition of this variety by A
F. Goldman of Corning, and several
others from south Iowa, at the winter
meeting, indicates that if picked at the
proper time it will keep as well as
Grimes Golden. AS a market apple ii
will have but little value, as it is regu-
lar annual bearer of heavy crops and is
rather under size. But it will be priced
for home use. 1t is excellent for des-
sert use, is not excelled for pies and
sauce, and it makes the richest and
most attractive jelly yet tested in this
state. Those who never taste ordinary
fruit jellies are fond of that made from
the Longfield apple. The family that
has bearing trees of the Longfeld has
no use for any of the crabs, as it is SUI
perior to any of them for use as sauce,
marmalade or jelies, and the trees are
always full. Those who have fruited
it for ten years find that it must be fer
tilted to keep up the vigor of the tree
and the size of fruit"

THE Rural New Yorker has just won
its case in libel suit brought because
of an honest exposure of dishonest
methods of advertising. The suit was
for $50 900; and the Rural remarks
that such suits are discouragingly ex.
pensive affairs. II our American farm
ers appreciated such loyal service as
the Rural has rendered in this and
other like cases, its subscription list
would be at once increased by at least
ten thousand new subscribers. But we
are sorry to say that it is doubtful if,
for this cause, it gets as many as ten
more. When our farmers come to
have a strong and honest pride in
themselves and their art, such as they
should have, they will unite in grand
testimonials of gratitude to such faith
full guardians of their interests. AS it
is now, most farmers seem to be
ashamed of their trade, and are about
as likely to kick as to pat dog that
barks in their behalf. But they are not
all 80; and those who are not will re-
member good turn like this. 1t
seems to us that it would be appropriate
work for the grange and the alliance,
the country over, to see that the news
paper champions of their cause and in
terests do not lose by their champion
ship.

WE do not like to see such sensible
editor as he of the Tribune's agricultu-
raj pages fall into the error of printing
without comment such absurd nonsense
az the following: "Sweets not only
cause the teeth to blacken and decay by
keeping the stomach in ferment, but
they are directly responsible for sensi-
tiveness and aching. This may be
proved in gratifying manner by any
one who must submit to the filling of
tooth cavities. Let him abjure sweets
for month (three months is still bet
ter), and he will scarcely feel the dem
tai instruments. Eating sweets is
largely habit easily overcome, and one
going without for few months will
acknowledge the possession of clearer
brain and improved digestion" Sugar
is natures best heat producing food.
1t is but a soluble form of starch, its
chemical composition being almost iden-
teal. That is the principal reason why
city people, and especially city women,
are so very fond of sweets; and they
are in fact the best form of heat food
for people of weak digestion. But just
as we have seen country girl german
die on beef and cabbage until she
threw herself into epileptic fits, so the
foolish city girls cram and ruin their
stomachs with sweets at all hours of
the day and night, and then the wise
acres rush into print to condemn one
of Gods best gifts to man. The fe-
male idiots abuse it in one way, and
the male fools, full of what an old med
ical professor used to call "bob-tailed
SCIENCE" "rush into print" to abuse
it in another way. Don't be afraid to
eat sugar as freely as any food ought to
be eaten-but don't overload the stom-
ach at any time.

WE do not know why an apple can
be regarded as of little value because it
is regular annual bearer of heavy
crops. We have had the Longfield in
bearing for four or five years, and value
it highly. But, like all heavy annual
bearers, it calls for rich land to enable
it to keep up its size and quality. Like
Oldenburgh, Yellow Transparent and
most other Russian apples, it begins to
bear when the tree is quite small, so
that the planter does not have to wait
long for fruit. This is a merit of the
Russian apples that is not sufficiently
emphasized. They are not all so. Pro-
life Sweeting, one of the very best APP
pies of any country in its class and sea-
son, is, as root-grafted tree, quite
slow in coming into full bearing. But
top-worked into the limbs of Tetofsky,
it loses nothing in size or quality, and
bears as early and profusely as the
stock on which it is engrafted. We do
not find Tetofsky of much value for
market; but we plant good many to
use as stocks for slower fruiting sorts,
and always with success in producing
early fruiting of the CRAFTS.

Boys of a Farm school Perish After a

Boston, MASS, April 1l.-Last evening
an instructor and ten boys connected with
the Boston farm school at Thompson's Island
capsized in a sail boat aud the instructor
and eight of the boys were drowned. The
victims we're: a. f. Nordberg, instructor,
Frank Hitchcock, Homer Thatcher, George
Ellis, Thomas Phillips, William Curran,
Charles Graves, Harry z. Loud and Adel-
bert H. Packard. The rescued boys were:
o. w. Clements and Charles A. Lamb. The
instructor had been to the city during the
day to attend church and ten boys, consti-
tuting the regular crew OF the school, left
the island at $3.50 O'Clock to sail TO CITY
Point to convey the instructor to the island
The trip was considered perfectly safe under
ordinary circumstances, having been made
for years even during the winter
months without an accident. AS precau-
tion, however, in view of the breeze the
crew took single sailboat instead Of the
double sail craft ia which the trip is often
made. The trip to the point was made and
soon after 8 o'clock the boat started on the
return trip. At q point supposed to be be-
tween Spectacle Island and Thompson's

According to the testimony of the two

his boys were approaching. There was a
fire on a neighboring island, and he got in

the regulars will get control Of the
