not thoroughly commendsble in all he
does. A wise man may say foolish things
and silly man may, on occasions, make
a sensible speech.
Il is Just, wise and cheerful TO be as
ready to recognize the good as to condemn
the bad in men. We do not hold to the
common fallacy which demands that we
shall speak naught but good Of the dead.
We should weigh the characters of the
dead, as Of quick, with justice. The
demand that we shall say naught but
good Of the dead is tantamount, in many
instances, to a command that we shall
either lie or be silent. To do our duty to
the living we cannot always be silent;
we can never lie.
These reflections are pertinent to the
following story Of Jay Gould:
When young man living, in a New
Jersey village, he was nursod to health
from a violent illness by kindly
matron, he never forgot the kindness
nor neglected the woman. 1t Is said
that when any Of his old friends Of
former days came to see him-and his
office door always had the latch string
outside for such-he was won't TO ask
after this particular woman. She had
an adopted child, married, aud living Ia
the far West, and the lady, when she
became old, resolved upon seeing her,
and after years privation, saved
enough money to make the journey. Mr.
Gould happened at the last moment t,
learn Of her scheme, and hastened Z,
collect passes for the whole distance
there and back, and mailed them TO hsl
without word Of comment. Thougl
the old woman could not sleep for thre,
nights from wonder, she recovered II
time to use the passes.
Jay Gould was a railway wrecksr; h

stockholders; he devoured widows an
orphans in order to acquire the fabulou
wealth which his children have inherited
But there was some good In him. II

PROF. SAUNDERS, in an address to

that the food value of apples depends
In a measure on the condition of ripe
ness of the fruit: also on the variety
Of apples from which the supply Is to
be furnished. European authorities
consider the money value of the fod.
der constituents in ordinary varieties
of apples and pears as somewhat
higher than those contained in an
equal weight of turnips, and those of
the apple pomace as about One.third
higher In feeding value than the
whole apple, which has served for its
production, and about equal in value
to sugar beets. Where apples are fed
to stock they should be given in mod.
crate quantities, aud should be liber.

IT Is a very remarkable fact, says
the Massachusetts, Ploughman, ac-
cording TO the last census, that less
than half the farm land in Maine and
New Hampshire Is under cultivation,
while in Massachusetts, l,3iI, 25s
acres are uncultivatcd and only
l,65e, O24 are cultivated. Taking the
entire North Atlantic States, from
Maine to Pennsylvania, the total
area of farm lands Is 62,7l3.j25 acres,
of which nearly one.third is idle,
while in the Middle and Northwest
ern States-that Is, from Chic to Da-
kOta In one direction and to Kansas
in the other-the proportion Of un-
cultivated land is very much smaller.
In none of the States in that section
does the uncultivated area bear so
great u proportion to the cultivated
as In New England. IL Is no doubt
true that large part Of the unculti.
waited land In New England Is unfit
for tillage, yet 1t must be true that
this immense unimprovcd area must
contain thousands Of acres which,
under the stimulus of Yankee "gump.
tion," could be made to produce more
net value per acre In our high.1rlced
markets than the richest Western
prairie.
