A HORSE, to be fine driving one,
must have good mouth. This causes
the bit to be one of the most important
parts of the harness, as it touches the
most sensitive part of the horse. The
bit used, and the way it is used, causes
the horse to have good or bad mouth.

Dear Mother Death.


When night comes down to cover
The pleasant hills and sea
Then little children hover
About the mothers knee.
Their childish griefs and pleasures
Fade with the fading sky,
And all their precious treasures
Dropt and forgotten lie.
Close, close, their forms she presses,
Kisses their weary eyes,
And mingles soft caresses
With heart.born lullabies.
So. when life's day is ended
Its Joys and sorrows DER
And when its visions splendid
Delight the earth no more.

In arms that soothe and bless,
And lulls us while she holds us
To sweet forgetfulness. -Ezehange

DIR. FISHER of Fitchburg, Mass, a
well-known and experienced cultivator,
says that one ounce of sulphate of cop
per Glue stone) dissolved in 100 GAL
Ions of water, is simpler, better and
cheaper than Bordeaux mixture for de-
stroying fungi on apples and pears !;
and it may be made weaker for plums
and peaches, or stronger for grapes and
potatoes. We throw up our hat in
honor of DR.. Fisher. OF all nuisances
that we ever handled, the Bordeaux
mixture is the meanest. For insects,
DR.. Fisher adds an even teaspoonful of
paris green to each gallon of the mix
ture. For leaf-sucking insects, aphis,
slugs, etc., he uses the kerosene emul-
sion. If these simple and clearly and
cheap applications prove effective, the
business of fungi-f ghting is made a
light affair indeed. We find by expert
ence that plum foliage is very sensitive
to paris green. 1t will not stand it half
as strong as it may be used for apples,
currants, and many other plants.

WE are not sure that it is ever best
to feed any kind of live stock for long
time exclusively on a single article of
diet. A variety of food is usually con-
sidered to be desirable; and we think,
in America at least, that this rule is
generally accepted-at any rate in the
eastern states. Yet it is we'll to know
that it is not impossible to keep our stock
in good order, and even to fatten them,
on single food. A Ne0 England
Farmer correspondent says: "There
are some who are utterly unable to con-
ceive how it is possible to fatten cattle
on turnips, and some are ready to assert
confidently that it cannot be done. And
yet it is a fact that English farmers
fatten cattle on turnips and chopped
straw. And l lately opened volume

THE Birch is one of our most inter-
esting as well as most useful trees.
We have in this country five species
which are trees, and two which are
shrubs. The small white birch of lower
New England is almost, if not quite,
identical with the white birch of old
England. Our large white birch-the
canoe birch or paper birch-is distinctly
American. This, and the river birch, are
among our most valuable forest trees.
The black birch is a more southern
species. The yellow birch extends far
north, and there takes the place of the
two last named. The black, or cherry,
birch extends from New England to
Ohio, and its wood is the most valu-
able of all, being rose-colored, fine
grained, and much used for cabinet
work. 1t is sometimes called sweet
birch. There are two other species,
the low birch, and the dwarf birch,
which grow far north, and are rarely
more than twenty feet high. They are
found high up on the mountains of
New England.

Gently published quotations from the
speech of the father of the Morrill, act
colleges in favor of distinct technical
schools. We publish this week ex-
tracts from the speech of the same man
in which he says that such schools
would be illegal and were not con-
templated by the congress which en-
acted the law. This removes from the
discussion any weight which might be
attached to Senator Morrill's opinions,
because he has been on both eides.
According to our ideas, however, the
senator's special plea at Burlington last
week proves too much. There is
strong argument for making purely
technical agricultural school depart
ment of university, the same as is
frequently done with other technical
schools. But if it was the intention of
the law to inaugurate new system of
education, so to speak, in which certain
old ideas should be laid aside, in which
science should predominant, in which
the leading purpose should be the prac-
teal education of the industrial classes,
it is very clear to us that such an insti-
tuition, being such radical departure
from those already in existence, should
be located by itself and develop its own
methods, its own traditions and its own
peculiar college environment, rather
than be the annex of any university.
To our notion, all of Senator Morrill's
argument at Burlington as to the
province of the agricultural college is a
reason why it should not be the tail of
the university kite"
