FOR THE PROTECTION OF PLANTS.

Plants which are tender and require to be stored away in cold pits need more care for the first month than at a"y other time through the winter season. Many of them, particularly if they have been kept ill good growing condition through the summer and early fall, will have unripened shoots and tender young foliage; unless these be cut off decay and gangrene commit sad havoc amoug them. Air should be given at every opportunity aud nothing omitted that will in any way tend to harden the plants and send vegetation to rest. No more water should be given than sufficient to prevent whitening, and the temperature should be kept as near forty degrees as possible, and every means employed to render the air about the plants dry. Leaving the pit uncovered on cool nights when there is no frost will tend to harden the plants and help them to sustain the cold of winter. Plants SC hardened have firm wood containing a minimum amount of moisture, and may stay covered up for weeks and suffer little or no injury.
 Of course Lits managed this way are for preserving plants alive and keeping them in good condition to pot and beC out for blooming as the warm season ap breaches. Conservatories for blooming
 plants are very differently managed, and as the end desired is different, so the
 means employed must be of 8 different nature. More anon in regard to con i SerVatOries which are managed with view to economy, and also to the winter protection of half-hardy Towering shrubs standing out all the year around I Troy Times

ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE REEL

Careful experiments prove that every time man takes a strong drink into his stomach he weakens his nerves, makes them slower and more uncertain in their action, and thereby lessens the sense of touch, the sense of weight and the sense of sight. In fact the whole body IS weakened by the effect of alcohol, the sensibilties are dulled and paralyzed, and therefore intOxicatiOn puts dis count upon the powers and usefulness or the whole man.
 This being true, an incorporate person cannot be trusted in any employment as the same person might be trusted if he did not. He is therefore not worth as much in the shop, or on the farm, or Ill any employment, as temperate man. There is many man who spends his nights and his money in the groggery and granddaughter who not only degrades himself theI eby, but at the same time robs his employer.
 MThe time is not far off, when the con- ditions of the great industrial world will be such that the drinking man need not apply; if he does apply he must expect that a careful discount will be placed up- on the value of his services because of his sin and folly.
 Let us hope that the time is not very distant when self-interest, if nothing else, will put a stop to this internal business of supplying men with the means of self destruction, under the name of business, regulated by the authority of the state. How long men in any community Will consent to be robbed and insulted and degraded by such abuse and wickedness is question of the deepest wonder.- TO. o. Wright.

TO MAKE FARMING PAY.

It is difficult 70 make any business pay unless the management is such as to take adva- tage of the markets and to give close attention to details. Farming pays as well as any other occupation, as fall ures occur in all branches of business. The merchant and the manufacturer are ever on the alert for improvements which reduce expenses, and they are in close competition with hundreds of others. Farming is a business, and the farmer becomes a merchant and manufacturer whenever he buys certain articles and | sells them in some other form. The whole farm is really factory, and at no time is there a cessation of the work of conversion of raw materials into salable products. Beginning with the manure heap, in which the plant food is being chemically prepared, the process does not end until the crudest materials are transformed, through successive stages, into the various products of milk, eggs, meat and butter. Even the grain and 1 hay are but the substances derived from the plant food. The profit depends on | the manner in which the salable articles were produced for the cost can only be reduced to the minimum by business methods and the improvements neces- 1 sary for competing with others. The minor details demand the closest super 1 vision. The waste at each feeding of the l animals may be but trifie, but the az | gregate is large at the end of the year. l When a certain proportion of food is us- ed to produce 10 pounds of butter where 20 pounds could as easily have been se- cured by the use of improved stock the farmer has doubled the cost of his articles No merchant or manufacturer would thus conduct business, as he could not compete with his rivals. The farmer
 however, vainly attempts to make busi
 ness pay by rejecting the best methods at his disposal and condemns his occupa tion, though the failure is due to causes controlled by him. Sooner or later cir cumstances will of themselves force al
 improvement, but at the expense o1
 many sacrifices. The world is progres sive and the farmer must progress also
 He bears his losses with hopes of tht
 future, and defers improvement whicf
 admits of no delay. He will never sue
 ceed with farming by cultivating weeds
 instead of destroying them, nor in at
 tempting to derive something from the
 soil without feeding it literally in orde
 to render it productive. The heavies
 sacrifices, however, are made by farmer
 who will not realize the difference be
 tween pure-bred stock and inferior ami
 mals, for often failures have occurred
 where only a slight increase in the farn
 products would have led to success
 Business methods should be practiced ol the farm. Keep nothing but the best

THE ASPARAGUS BED.

Besides bulb planting and potting there is great amount of other work to be done this month. New lawns cln be made and seeded, hardy perennial plants can be moved and transplanted. Seed beds can be prepared for early planting in spring. Many. kinds of flower seeds, such as sweet alyssum, candy-tuft, calendula, larkspur, migno- nette and portulaca and others can be sown now for an early ctart in spring. Currants, gooseberries, raspberries and blackberry plants and grape vines can be set out. If you have no asparagus bed this month is the time to plant one, or even next month if it is only done before heavy frosts set in. In preparing the bed dig it deep, eighteen inches are none too much, and work in heavy amount of good manure, we'll routed stable or COW dung. To set the plants take out trench about foot wide and six inches deep, so that the crown will be at least three inches below the surface when covered; spread out the roots naturally in every direction and fill fine soil in and about them, pressing it down firmly with the hand, and finally return all of the soil even with the surface. Set the plants a foot apart in the row and the rows at least eighteen inches apart. When planting is finished cover the whole with good coat or manu e for the winter Troy Times.

HINTS FOR FRUIT GROWERS.

Never plant pear trees on wet soil. Do not be afraid to manure them, for you cannot produce large and luscious pears on starved trees. Do not let them run too near the sky, but prune back some every year. If this is done in June and July it will induce fruitfulness in trees that are tardy bearers. Of all the early kinds Tyson is my favorite. It is almost free from blight and for beauty and delicate flavor it is scarcely equaled. Seckel is also nearly blight proof and behaves we'll either as a dwarf or stan- dard. It bears we'll and for sugary rich ness and high flavor is equal to the best. Howell is another fayorite and is de- pendable bearer, but the fruit is too soft for market. Sheldon should not be for gotten, as it is one of the best of the fall varieties. Bartlett is too well known to be described and should be planted eith- CT for home or market use. Anjou IS about the best of the winter kinds, ex- cept it be Lawrence. All these are well tested and of high qualities almost every way. Those who want to make money

NATIONAL ISSUES.

The political newspapers ot the state are already vigorously booming their candidates for gubernatorial honors. Not a bad idea perhaps, as there is no surer way of killing off super abundant aspirants than to tlot them out six months before the people will be ready to take the matter in hand.
 Senator Joseph Hawley's scathing re- ference to the so called "Commonweal army" that is gathering in different sec tions of the country with the intent to centre in Washington, has the ring Of sound metal. When he said that the be- hayior of that multitude when assembled around the capitol should be carefully regulated by law and rules, he said the right thing. No adequate reason for such a demonstration exists, nor can ex- ist under a government like ours. The exercise of the, ballot and the right of pe- tition and the legitimate means of re- dress for real or imaginary grievances. Threats and menace have no place here. The aggressive, lawless bearing of these mastering hosts indicate the intention of prevailing by the menace of formidable numbers. The movement is decidedly marchial and in conflict with the tenor and spirit of republican institutions, and should be met by reception that Will discourage a repetition of it.
 Would it not be we'll for the press to cease discussing the nauseous Pollard Breckenridge scandal. The popular mind has already been smirched by the publication of it's unsavory details.

THE AVERAGE YIELD.

The average yield of red raspberries and blackberries as we'll as of black raspberries was asked of many growers. As to the yield of red raspberries, fifty six answers gives 2,201 quarts, or nearly 69 bushels per acre. The low est estimate given in this case was GAG quarts and the highest 5000 quarts. These were from the same men who gave the lowest and highest estimates of the yield of black raspberries respect lively, mentioned in Part I. Most grow CTS place the yield of black-cups higher than that of reds, but six good growers in New York, two in Pennsylvania and one in Delaware place the yield of reds higher than of blacks.
 In answer to the same question con- cerning black berries, fifty replies were received and the average of them all is 5, ,l5S quarts, or over 9S bushels per acre, the lowest estimate being 1,2S0 and the highest 10000 quarts.
 These figures possess great value, both to persons contemplating going into berrygrowing and to those who are al- ready in the business. Growers who find their yields below these averages can rest assured that something is wrong, and that unless some uncontro1l- able disease is devastating the fields, their system of cultivation undoubtedly needs improving. From the nature of the question, the answers are in most cases estimates based on the practical

RESTING PLACE OF RYSDYK'S TAXABLE
 TON1AN.

Ali admirers of trOtting and road horses will be interested in the following bit of intelligence concerning the last resting place of Rysdyk's HambletOnian, taken from d local paper: On the crest of hill at Chester, N. I., close by the
 roadside, the founder of the greatest
 family of light harness horses sleeps.
 The grave is inciosed by d frail picket
 fence, and a marble slab bears this
 inscription: "Rysdyk's Hambletonian,
 foaled May ), 1S49; died March P, 1S7G.''
 The little gate which opens from the
 road is barred by large stone, and he
 who would stand on the sacred soil must climb the fence. A young elm is grow
 ing above the mound, and 30 feet away
 wild cherry. The dandelions glow like drops of gold in the tender grass, and an atmosphere of sweetness and quiet bathes the hills. The great horse
 rests not more than 100 yards from the stable which sheltered him, and among the scenes of his triumphs. He made MT Rysdyk rich man, and surprise is often expressed that he was not more generously remembered in the will. But Mir Rysdyk was an odd character He once became disgusted with horses, and offered all his stock, including Ham, bletoniap, for sale. Only few neigh
 bors attended the auction, and as no bids were made the stallion was preserved to
 him. Some goddess of fortune seemed to interfere and ward off the evil. As Mir Rysdyk's incnme increased he grati fled his passion for land proprietorship, and farm after farm was added to the
 modest homestead. Nearly all these lands have passed from his descendants,
 and now strangers are asked to subscribe to fund for erecting monument over the grave of Hambletonian.- EX.

A FEW REMARKS.

We have not got the largest stock of monuments and head stones in New England" We are not selling our stock at a tremendous sacrifice" Neither are we giving away monuments and headstones. Our pile is hard ly large enough yet to stand that. But we are selling a first class article at as small a mar gin of profit as is possible. The railroad improvement at Strat- ford destroyed our turn out and made it impossible to receive any stock there by rail and we were obliged to remove our en- tire plant to Bridgeport. We shall continue to keep up the high standard of excellence the old Stratford Granite and Mar ble works have attained during the past 10 years. We have no inferior stock on hand and we will sell it at a fair price. Our draughtsman will furnish you special designs and, as we cut our work here, you can watch ils construction in every detail, if you choose to do so. Come and see us and be convinced that we are telling you the truth.
