Returning Thanks.

Praise to God, immortal praise
For the love that crowns our days;
Bounteous source of every Joy,
Let thy praise our tongues employ,
All to thee, our God, we owe,
Source whence all our blessings flow.
All the blessings of the fields.
All the stores the garden yields,
Flocks that whiten all the plain,
Yellow sheaves of ripened grain;
Lord for these our souls shall raise
Grateful vows and solemn praise
Clouds that drop their fattening dews,
Suns that genial warmth dtfuse,
All the plenty summer pours,
Autumn's rich oerflowing stores;
Lord, for these our souls shall raise
Grateful vows and solemn praise
Peace, prosperity, and health,
Private bliss and public wealth.

erful element in our politics than they
we're few years ago. We do not wish
for any further intermixture Of races
here; but as long as only a moderate
number of Chinese men come to us,
there is not much to be said against it,.
That old empire has wisdom, knowl-
edge and arts worthy our attention.
AT any rate, we want their tree fruits;
and our agricultural department at
Washington will not do its full duty un-
til it has made a vigorous effort to Sc
cure them. And when it has obtained
them, let it take warning from past stu
pidity, and not send out the trees and
scions promiscuously, as it did with the
first importation from Russia. Put
them into the hands of experts, who
will know how to handle and Increase
them. There is no doubt that, Of the
Russian scions imported and distributed
by our department of agriculture in
1872, more than three-quarters were
thrown away by the recipients, because
they knew nothing of their value, or
how to make use of them.

THERE is a radical difference be-
tween democratic and a representa-
tive government. In democracy, the
citizens themselves make the laws and
superintend their administration. In a
representative government, the citizens
empower Legislators and executive Off
GERS to make the law and to carry it

THE returns at Washington show
that the average price of hay is S9.1S
per ton, which is the highest during
the past decade except in 1887, when it
rose to $9,97. The variation for diff
ferent sections is unusually large, ow-
ing to remarkable high quotations in
the Atlantic states. The range is from
1890 per ton in Rhode Island to 1857
in South Dakota.

BUT at present we have, and can
have, only those varieties which Chi
mas next neighbor, Russia, has sent to
us. There appears, for some curious
reason, to be a natural feeling of friend
ship between autocratic Russia and
democratic America. Our systems of
government are so totally Incompatible
that they seem a bar to antagonism.
We do not approve of them; we would
not endure any approach toward them
ourselves, but we seem to think they
are about the best thing possible for
that country, and no bar to friendship.
Russians have been beautifully liberal
and painstaking in sending us hun
dreds of varieties of their tree fruits.
We seem now to be finding a way to
pleasanter relations with China. The
hoodlums of California are less pow

On this matter of cold storage, we
find in the american AgriculturiSt the
following letter from +. G. Osman.
Mr.. Osman says: Zone important
point has been settled by the expert
ence of exhibitors of apples at the Co.
lumbar Exposition, that deserves at
tention. Cold storage has been sue
cess in the preservation of apples in
prime condition from picking season
until July. All of the apples were held
in cold storage. The method of pack
ing adopted by substantially all the
exhibitors was the same. When the
fruit was picked from the trees in the
fall each was Immediately wrapped in
piece of thin paper, and then packe d in
tight barrels with loose cooperage, such
as flour barrels, and thus shipped by
rail to Chicago, where they were stored
in cold rooms, and held until their re-
moval in May and June, at tempera-
ture of $50 F. They would, no doubt,
have withstood 32o without freezing;
but $50 has been found satisfactory in
every way. There was no attempt to
ventilate the fruit. All the apples so
picked and stored, whether they came
from New York, Illinois, Minnesota,
Michigan or Wisconsin, came out in
prime condition, bright in color, sound,
and fully as rich in flavor as they were
in the fall This was conspicuously
true of pound sweets, fall pippins, and
other varieties of fall apples which are
classed as poor keepers, and are usually
gone before Christmas. In the New
York exhibit of apples were one lot of
Nellis, and one of fall pippins, which
were treated, in picking and packing,
the same as the other fruit, but were,
by accident or carelessness, frozen
solid in cold storage house at Roches-
ter, where they were temporarily stored.
Yet when these were carefully thawed
out, by slow elevation of the tempera-
ture, to above freezing, they were then
shipped to Chicago and held, like the
rest, at $50 until April or May, when
they were put on the exhibition plates.
When l saw this fruit May "a, it was
perfectly sound and good, though an
expert could detect a slight deprecia-
ton in the richness of flavor, due, no
doubt, to freezing. All of this fruit
shown by the states named kept in
good condition from two to three, and
some even four weeks, on the exhibit
ton plates before it began to break
down, showing conclusively that the
system of cold storage is amply able to
carry over apples from one season to
the opening of the next, and turn out
the fruit in condition to market safely
in warm weather of the early summer"

IT is true that by fungicide spraying
a certain degree of Roadway is made
against these evils; but the high prices
for fruit free from disease during the
last few years demonstrate that this is
not remedy adequate to the need. The
old races, never we'll suited to Amer
lean conditions, are rapidly coming to
utter failure,-far more rapidly than
even the most fearful have imagined.
All indications point to the fact that
we have none toe soon sought out hard
Ter and batter races of tree fruits for
our continent. We believe that this
work is as yet in its infancy. While
the Russian fruit trees are far in ad-
vance, as regards hardness against dis.
ease and cold, we must not fail to re-
member the fact that these Russian
fruits are almost entirely Asiatic in
their origin-and Western Asiatic at
that. Now if we are as wise as we
should be, we shall recall the fact that
the position of that part of North Amer.
lea east of the Rocky Mountains is in
location the counterpart of China and
Mongolia. 1t is to those countries.
above all others, that we NAV legiti.
mately look for the ideal tree fruits for
Eastern America.

Now the most important thing in
this connection is to know the cost of
this kind of storage. The system of
producing the cold is not new; it is
that commonly used in our cities, North
and South, tol the artificial manufac.
ture of ice. The cost of the apparatus,
and of operating it, which is usually by
steam, has not yet been made public,
so far as we can learn. 1t is probable
that we shall soon have full details of
the method, as applied to cold storage
for fruit, and its cost.

LET any one who has not given at
tention to this subject take good maps
of China and North America and see
how, in its outline, its mountain chains,
and in everything but our great lakes,
these two regions of the earth dupli-
cate each other. Mongolia, which an
swers to Canada, has even the lakes
though not so large and continuous as
ours. Everything points to the prob
able superiority, in point of adaptation
to soil and climate, of the tree fruits of
China and Mongolia, for all the eastern
portions of North America.

WE have been making a special study
of these Russian tree fruits during
twenty-five years, testing them side
by side with the best hardy varieties
that came to our kno wledge through
the most extensive reading and corre-
spondence possible on the subject. We
have been very slow-to some enthusi-
asts provokingly slow-in coming to
conclusions in the matter. But we are
now entirely satisfied that in New Eng
land, as in the West, the time has ar
rived, in very much the greater part of
our territory, to actively engage in re-
placing our orchards of the old varie-
ties with these new and vigorous races
of tree fruits. The great and rapid in
crease of spot, scab, and other fungoid
disease upon the foliage, fruit and bark
of the old English sorts has reached a
point where the growers in what have
been regarded as the best fruit sections
in the country are forced to resort to
something harder, and more vigorous
and healthy, than what were once our
standard sorts. Three or four years
ago, we laughed at the statement of
Professor Bailey, of Cornell Agricultu-
raj College, to the effect that if cure
for scab, blight, rust and mildew could
not be found, the great fruit region of
central and western New York might
as well make firewood of its orchards.

SOME four or five years ago, one of
the leading and most successful or
chardists in Maine-W. p. Anterior,
Esq, of Hallowell, Kennebec county
remarked at a meeting of the Maine
State Pathological Society, that before
many years DR.. Hoskins would find an
apple among the Russian varieties
which would equal the Baldwin as a
shipping apple, and could be grown
anywhere in the state of Maine" This
was rather more than we anticipated
as possible; but having realized it, after
many discouraging failures, we took
the liberty of writing to Mr.. Anterior,
telling him of the full accomplishment
of his prophecy. In another column
we venture to give an extract from Mr..
Atherton's kind and appreciative reply.

A STRANGE CASE.
How an Enemy was Fooled.

the numb, creepy sensation hat eXi stcd in my

those parts until they were sore, to overcome
i'm measure the dead feeling that had taken
possession of them. In addition, L had
strange weakness in my back and around my
waist, together with an indescribable gone
feeling in my stomach. Physicians said IL
was creeping paralysis, from which, accord
ing to their universal conclusion, there Is no
relief once it fastens upon person, they
say, IL continues its insidiOuS progress until
it reaches n vital point and the sufferer dies.
Such was my prospect. i had been doctoring
n year and a half steadily, but with no par
ticular benefit, when saw an advertisement
of Dir Miles Restorative Ncryine, procured a
hottie and began using IT.. Marvellous as 1t
may SEEM but "a few days had passed before
every bit of that creepy feeling had left me,
and there has not been even the slightest
indication of its return. I now feel as
