The guttersnipe says its popularity
consists of its being a friend to the
croakers and kickers, the disgruntled
and dissatisfied. Misery loves company,
you know, and the admission of the
snipe is an exhibition of candor not
often met with except among very
small children and imbeciles.

are really practical men they have op-
portunities for demonstrating facts that
no farmer can have. Intelligent special
lists can impart much information. Still
these men coming from distance, unless
they are exceedingly careful and explicit,
may mislesd, for their experiments and
achievements have been under mater
tally different conditions from those
existing in the county where is held the
institute that they address. The method
that may do in Wisconsin might not do
at all in southern Illinois. Farmers who
usually attend the Institutes understand
themselves and their business pretty
thoroughly. It requires great ability
and a broad experience to teach such
men in the science Of general farming.
Yet they attend the institute to learn
something new, and are Disappointed
unless they do. The boys should be
encouraged to attend these meetings.
We know Of no other place where boy
can learn 30 much, in the same length Of
time, as he can at a practical fasmers'
institute. He will learn things here
often more readily than he will at home,
even though his father could and in the
long run would teach him these very
things. Where the dairy receivesspecial

Fruit In NOOkS and Corners.

frequently by taking thought on the
subject, farmer can manage to grow
large amount of fruit upon the unused
space close by the farm buildings.
Two or three large cherry trees in
the front yard will answer for shade and
will supply bushels Of fruit. Pears,
cherries and ounces can be grown with
out cultivation in the hen yard. Porches
and piazzas upon the house can be util-
lied for grapevines, likewise the sunny
side Of the barn. Pear or cherry trees
will flourish just outside the barnyard
fence and make use Of the neighboring
fertility. Division fences and sunny
back walls will do for grapeVines. Large
apple trees planted close to the farm
buildings will extend roots beneath them
and thus utilize the ground, and if the
branches are not allowed to lie too closely
ly to the roofs they will do no harm.
or course, there is land enough on most
farms without taking account Of hooks
and corners, but to the thrifty farmer
there is special satisfaction in raising
crops where nothing grew before, -
