Entering tho door of an editorial
friends den the other day I narrowly
avoided collision with q young woman
who was just emerging from IN inter.
view with the autocrat within. l ar
staid, respectable, married man; and
therefore, not privileged to feel symr n
thy for young women who have inter
views with that dreaded -of-young-
Observation-Disclosures person, the
editor. But tho fact remains that my
heart does go out to them, and if they
arc personally progressing they ure
quite certain to enlist my entire SYM
pathy. This one was very pretty.
My friend the editor held out to me
three or four delightfully."- neat MSS,
with:
"Will you tell me why it is that
young writer's, especially young wom-
en-, and, ut that, girls, who never had q
care in the world, and who don't know
what real trouble is, persist in writing
such morbid trash as that? Iwish they
wouldn't. We see enough about the
really sad side of human existence in
the news columns every day. Why on
Garth should we deluge the readers OF
our Sunday paper with this grewsome
rot?"
My friend the editor but voices the
sentiments of all his kind in regard to
this matter. My dear girls. in the first
place, you have no business to write
that is, if you are doing it for fame and
fortune, for there arc several Thousand
people ahead of you in the struggle
who will never, Mt least while they live,
achieve either end.
In tho second place, If you will write,
in the name OF suffering, rot-ridden hui
manity, write something that will make
readers feel brighter for having read it.
These sweet little "Pastcls in Prose"
and ''Etchings," and that sort of thing,
are all very well in their way-which
is sadly slushy way, and painful to
people who have to read those things

Bees and Glover.

Statements are being made that the
clover never perfected seed in New
Zealand until bumblebees from Eu-
rope were introduced there; now state
ments are made that since the intro
ductlon OF these bees clover produces
seed abundantly. A few years ago the
statement was made that the humble
bee was essential to the proper fertil-
ization of the clover. 1t was said that
the position of the stamens and stigma
was such that it was impossible for the
plant to receive any aid from its pollen
without the assistance of bees. The
bumblebee was supposed to enter the
mouth of the clover flower, carrying on
its exit pollen which was then intro
duced to the stigmas of the other flow
ers which the bees visited, and in this
way the fertilization of the flower was
brought about. This was the hypothe
sis presented in America. However it
has been found by careful observers
that the bumblebee never enters the
mouth of clover 1ower-it simply
Sits the tube of the flower on the out
side and goes off with the nectar, with
out in any way touching the stamens or
the pistil of the flower. Just why the
bees of England and the same creature
introduced into Australia should behave
differently to the bumblebee of America
has never been explained. In America
is found that the first crop of clover
rarely produces seed, while if this crop
is cut and a new growth starts, the
second crop produces seeds abundantly,
and yet the visits of the bees to both
crops may be exactly the same. So
many statements of similar character to
this of the relation of bees to clover are
made without proper authorization
that it leads one often to doubt the
value of many scientific hypothesis

AN Ohio judge has affirmed the con-
stitutionality of the state law passed to
prohibit the coloring of distilled vine
gar to enable it to be passed off for cider
vinegar. He held that the unwhole-
someuess or otherwise of the producl
did not enter into the question; that
the intent OF the law was to protect
the purchaser who wanted to buy pure
cider vinegar and nothing else. That
is what the dairymen want in an cleo
margarine law. If people want to eat
grease of any kind for butter, that is
their right, but the dairymen object to
having the grease put on the market
as butter with the intention of deceive
ing consumers.

AS to the culture of "Pie Plant "
it requires the very richest. The
ground should be deeply dug, and ma
nured in the most reckless manner. 1t
should be top-dressed, every fall, with
constable manure, covering the ground
two inches deep, lightly spaded in. 50
grown it is crop that needs no weed
ing or cultivation, as weeds can not
grow under its shade. 1t should be
cut but sparingly the first year, and the
seed stalks must be removed as they ap-
pear every season. Going to seed
weakens the plants very much, and
soon makes the bed worthless. Three
or four plants are enough for family
bed, which can be increased at will in
two or three years, by division of the
roots. Give your bed plenty of room
all around fat least five feet on all
sides. Twenty-Five cents for a single
root is the usual price. We should
suppose that most of our readers could
get the Colossal" more handily than
to send to US for it. 1t is just as good
as our seeding, and nearly equal in
size

ton. The rhubarb ("pie plant'O re-
ferred to by our Montpelier friend was
from lot of seedlings which we grew
some twenty-five years ago from seed
of the well-known Downing's Colos-
SAL" We were too poor to buy plants
for large market bed, and so planted
seed. The result was the general one
in growing seedlings from improved
varieties of any cultivated plant. There
were all sorts, but very few amongst
them were equal to the parent in size
or quality. One, however, had i'm
mensely long and stout stalks, and we
have something of bed of it yet,
though we still grow the Colossal"
as it does not have so coarse look,
though in quality there is little differ
ence. The weight of the stalks of our
Seeding (Which we have never given
name toy often exceeds pound; and
we have filled orders for one hundred
pounds with less than ninety stalks.
This is the worst time in the year to
transplant so rank-growing plant as
rhubarb. We set new beds of it in the
fall, which we think is the best time, as,
if shifted as soon as the first killing
frosts have checked growth, the plants
will get we'll rooted in the new bed,
and grow off strongly in the spring.
AT that season we can spare but small
number of plants, as we intend to trans
plant quite quantity of them from the
old place to our new farm.

as Maine is 80 little known in Vermont,
we have thought these few notes would
be acceptable, and might contain some
useful hints to our readers. We be-
lieve that condensed milk factory, or
even more than one, might be made a
great success in Vermont. 1t would
not only benefit those directly inter-
ested, but, by lessening the output of
butter, it would diversity our interests,
and reduce competition in single lines
of farm products. We believe there is
a great future also for Vermont farm
ers in the perfection of the cheese in
dustry. American cheese stands very
low in the worlds markets. There is
no reason whatever why Vermont
cheeses of many different varieties
might not be made to lead in many
markets. We have intelligence and
industry in Vermont, second in these
to no country. If we could supplement
these fine qualities with greater energy
and enterprise, we might all be greatly
benefited, and the prosperity of the
state much advanced.

WHEN we are in Maine, we talk up
Vermont; but it is a curious fact that,
near as the two states are to each other,
they are less acquainted than states
widely separate. Maine and New
Hampshire are very well acquainted;
but west of the Connecticut seems to
our Maine friends an unknown land.
Yet in their agricultural capabilities
the two states have much in common.

the last degree unlikely. That our large
forests are very badly administered,
and need governmental control, is self
evident. Extreme statements on this
subject are to be deprecated, because
they destroy public confidence in those
who make them in what they regard as
a good cause, and which really is so.
Every state should have its administra-
ton of woodlands. The value of many
kinds of timber is rapidly advancing,
and wasteful or careless treatment
of our forest areas works much injury
to the commonwealth. We counsel the
writers on forestry not to disgust the
farmers and other land owners by vio-
lent language and exaggerations; and
we advise all farmers to cherish their
woodlands, and TO make study of the
best methods of caring for them.
brief trip into Maine, by the way of the
White Mountain route. Even so far
south as Portland, there seems very
little difference in the growth of vege-
tation. The apple orchards were in
full bloom the whole distance, and the
forest trees in the same degree of adj
vancement. We had finished potato
planting nearly week before leaving
home, but found the same work still in
progress in southern Maine on our re-
turn. This is certainly backward
spring; but the grass is good every
where, so far as we could see from the
car windows.
THE settled part of Maine is not gen.
orally so good farming land as Vermont.
The best parts of the state, agricul.
turally considered, are as yet mainly
undeveloped. This applies particularly
to the American half of the great St.
John valley-four or five times greater
than the Connecticut valley--and SUI
perior to it in richness and depth of soil,
freedom from stone, and from Unequal
ity of surface. Maine is surely des-
tined to be great agricultural state
when this unsettled portion is popu-
lated; while its immense and admirably
located water power, and its noble
seaports, are equally sure to give it
preponderance as manufacturing and
commercial state.
