LOVES REMINDERS.

Shy bluebird on yon maple spray,
My coming causes you surprise.
You cry aloud and fly away
On wings that glitter as they rise;
So blue are they, SO skyey clear,
Unequaled bliss their beaming brings:
For now think of one most dear,
Whose eyes are bright as bluebird's wings
From covert groves glides forth trill
OF wild birds singing Justify,
Yet while list my thoughts will still
Seek her who is most dear to me,
For, oh, her soft and soothing voice
Sounds merrier than the leaping throng
Or waters when spring rills rejoice
Its music mates the linnet's song.
Upon bourgeoned white birch broad
A squirrel gambols spry and feet,
Until, by my rude spaniel awed,
She higher mounts on hasty feet;
And as she bounds without fall
From lower limbs TO limbs above
Her agile motions well recall
The flake-light footballs of my love.

FARM PRODUCTS ABROAD.

HoRsEs are very cheap in Australia.
The horse markets are gluttcd with
animals offs.ed, for which there is no

Great Britain. Indeed the depression

these thorouzhfares. both BY private
knterpris. aud through the regularly
constituted road overseers. Although
the time that has elapsed since the sys-
tenn was introduced has been short, the
results attained have been more than
satisfactory. The cooperation of the
governor and secretary and geoloeist
of each state in the union, of railroad
officials and of other persons has been
obtained, and they show \ warm in

With good roads the farmer saves
cost in many ways. One team of horses
will do more work on level macadam-

All kinds Of fruit trees, young and

dressed with broadcast manure. ex-
tending as far on each side as the
height OF the tree It softens the
freezing of the ground and the manure
il washed down into the soil. Caution,
however. must be used not to place
coarse manure against the stems of the
trees, - it invites the mice which
gnaw the bark and girdle them. 1t il
safest when'manure is spread about the
trees to leave a circle OF bare ground
within 4 foot OF the stems, with the
ground slightly raised to keep the
manure away. Where barn manure
cannot be had. the rakings Of the lawn
and orchard make good mulching for
young trees, especially protecting the
ground from the severest freezing. II
the trimmings Of evergreen trees can
be had, a thin scattering of their
branches over the leaf mulching will
prevent the latter being blown away.

An impression seems to prevail in
laany quarters that tho work accom-
plished by tho agricultural department
Of the national government relates to
and benefits only the farmers Of tho
community. No greater error could
exist While its purpose is primarily
to advantage the agricultural class.
much Of its work is of such nature as
to confer benefits Of far greater value
upon the urban population.
The work undertaken by the depart
ment in the interest of good country
roads is an illustre ton in point There
has been . universal demand among
the farmers for the improvement Of the
highways by means Of which they OBJ
tanned access to the markets for their
produce. As = rule. the roads have been
but miserable apologies. They have
consisted simply of routes cut through

SO far as to overcome the most jagged
inequalities. seldom graveled or macad-
amized, and always subject to overflow
in times of freshet and generally i'm
passable by reason of mud in wet
weather. Even in dry weather the dust
has been frequently so deep rs to be
almost rs great = hindrance to traffic as
the mud would be. Tho result has
been that farmers could carry but
small loads of their produce to market.
and the expense of transportation has
subtracted largely from their earnings
Our present secretary Of agriculture
had devoted much of his time and AT
tention, previous to his occupancy o,
the position. to investigations of the
subject in question. He had collated
many valuable statistics, and. by
comparison Of the results obtained
from agriculture here and in France,
Belgium and Germany, where much At
tention is bestowed upon the country
roads. he had arrived at the conclusion
that the farming class could derive no
more substantial benefits than through
q systematic effort to improve the ave
