the exceptionally novel and interesting
exhibits it will contain, is quite sure TO
be regarded with great favor by worlds
fair visitors in general, while by agri-
culturists il will be considered one of
the most useful and attractive features
of the whole exposition. 1t was de-

commodations for a dairy school, in
connection with which will be con.

The Orchard Saved Him.

once an old farmer died, he had lived long;
His life was somewhat mixed with right and
wrong
He owned right up to good share of sin,
But asked St Peter II he could go in
lie answered questions with downcast eye
Aud Peter asked them till he pumped him dry.
He said he lied and swore, to make things CO.
And Peter hdgeted, YES, yes, | know"
He said he kept his farm mp as he could,
And cut his bushes as Of course he should
He did not mean his buildings should run down.
He raised the finest orchard in the town.
splendid orchard, nothing like it near,
All best of Baldwns, bearing the odd year.
I'm glad to hear you set out those fine trees
The apples must have helped through many
squeeze.
They are all sinners who come here, no doubt.
But you did one thing that will let you out
60 to that angel, tell him of your outs,
And he will put you through course of sprouts"

-Westism, Black Cherries, Etc.

Agricultural Editor:-What do l
mean by out-westism? Well, it is a
name l have eXtemporized for the
sort of Dragging ignorance which taints
much that wishes to appear as Western
only. We all meet it, we all recognize
il. Sometimes we are only simply
amused. 1t seems to be something in
digenous to the West. A letter from
one who claims to be, and no doubt is,
a wide.awake farmer in the state of
Iowa, lies before me- What crops are
you going to grow this season? | sup
pose they do something by hand out
there" "Out there" in this case,
means New Hampshire, As all know,
an Eastern man likes to once in his life
take a trip, more or less extended, to
the West. A Western man might, per-
haps, learn little something by taking
a trip to the East. We have our adj
vantages and our disadvantages they
have theirs. Generally speaking, il
seems to be about as hard for West
ern man to raise mortgage as it is fol
an Eastern man to do 1t.
Some things seem 10 show that the
shoe pinches harder at the Yves,
than at the East. To my mind the
cheaper railroad freights at the Wes
show this. The railroad powers seen
to know pretty near what the farmers Of
one section can stand-even if the
farmers do not know themselves.
| wish that all you printed last Octo
Der, about our native black cherry
could be printed and read every week
If the proper stimulus and instruction
could be given to our boys, if TO nc
others, believe that they would soor
be enthusiasts to develop new kinds o
cherries. We all know the black cherry
is, in its nature, sort of domestic tree
1t loves to grow where the soil is fer
tilted by cattle, or near cultivated
field. It's fruit shows where the tre'
stands. If we could do no more thar
to dwarf the black cherry, it would be {
great triumph. Our native red cherr,
seems to be wild tree in its very nature
Yet there is no telling what might b'
done with it. What child does not en-
Joy its fruit? / hope you will ge

AS TO the waste of manure on hill
side, we have a large and long ex-
perience, which has taught us that
while there is a little waste, 1T is
much less than we would expect. Our
market garden at our old place slopes
to the south about two feet on hum
dred. 1t has been under the pillow now
for upwards of twenty-five years, and
has been MANFRED heavily nearly every
year. The crops have been onions,
beets, tomatoes, early peas and beets,
with winter squashes to succeed the
earlier crops as they were taken off.

DO We Lose Manure
ny EVAPORATION. by WASHING AWAY, OR b
LEACHING2

ny EVAPORATION. BY WASHING AWAY, OR BY
TEACHING?
Agricultural Editor AS no one has
volunteered to answer Mr.. Thomas's
question as TO the ACCESSIBILITY of spread
ing manure in the fall and winter, l
venture an opinion based on experience.
Our soil is not clayey, but a stiff loan.
| once spread manure on piece, early
In the winter, that was ploughed the
fall before. 1t was frozen and partly
covered with snow aud ice. 1t sloped
towards a run and seemed very
dangerous experiment; so much so that
i left strip next to the run without
manure, to be enriched by the manure
washing from the land above. When
the snow was melting away in the
spring, the colored water was seen
coursing down to the run. The whole
was sown to oats, and at harvest time
we had beautiful piece of grain where
the manure was spread, but not the
least sign of benefit from the manure
appeared on the strip below. No one
can go through the world with his
eyes open and not see that the fertility
of the soil washes toward the low land,
but the waste is so slight that no one
need hesitate TO draw and spread ma
nure any time before the pressure of
spring work. used to think that ma
nure must be plowed or narrowed in as
soon as it was drawn to the field, but |
have got over that; it don't lose much
but water, and that is generally cheap.
Do we lose as much fertility by teaching
as we are accustomed to think? ] have
moved off two sets of old-fashioned
farm barns, expecting to find mine of
wealth under them, but in both cases !
have been disappointed. The land
needed enriching very soon. AS we
draw manure from the barn cellar look
with some anxiety at the liquid manure
in the bottom of the heaps. Does il
90 down, or does it form a salt and sc
get carried to the field? Well, how diff.
ferently we do look at things! While
Bro. Brook of South Newbury i:
mourning for the good old-fashioned
clover, | have been comforting myself
with sowing grass seed thicker and get

THERE is another new strawberry
brought out this spring in Massachu-
sets. which is said to be the biggest
and best in the world. We have never
seen any strawberries of Massachusetts
origin that proved of any commercial
value elsewhere. They seem to be like
Massachusetts, people-full of local
prejudices. -
IT is with new strawberries, new po-
tatoes, and many other advertised nov
elites, very much as it is with new
medicines, of which witty French
professor of medicine once remarked to
his class: Gentlemen, make haste 10
avail yourselves of these remedies while
they are effecting cures" Yet, while
this is 80 often true, as occasionally
there is novelty which comes to stay
by force of genuine merit, we all feel
that we must give them a trial. 1t is
because we do so that the annual sup
ply of them is 80 steady. But the
greater part of them are mere vanity
and vexation of soul.

we notice that it is the pretty creatures

to him more than any other man of his

that the key to his success was good
