ing any pubic anniversary day. To take down an
old volume and read of how our forefathers
threw themselves body and soul into the spirit
OF such days as they rolled by, makes one realize
That times have indeed changed, but for better
or worse we will have to let each decide for him
self. A paragraph from Irvlng's Knickerbockcr
is illustrative of this point:
New Year was truly day of open-handed
iberality, of jocund revelry, and warm-hearted
congratuiation-whe the bosom seemed to swell
with genial good-fellowship-a the plenteous
table was attended with an unceremonious free
dom, and honest, broad-mouthed merriment, I'M
known in these days of degeneracy and refine
ment." And without taking up the challenge
thus thrown out, that times "ain't what they
used to be-" and willing to admit that perhaps
we did make a mistake in not arranging for our
earthly advent 200 or 800 years ago, let us look
on the bright side of the matter, and remember
that the chap with the cooked hat and knicker-
bockers has long since modered in the grave.
while we have Life and its opportunities be-
fore US.
And the coming of the new year emphasizes
this last thought and gives fresh hope as one
realizes all the possibilities and opportunities
lying hidden therein 1T is this all pervading es-
sence of thought of the New Years anniversary
which can be traced in almost every custom be-
longing to the day, which has arisen in this or
other lands.
In France and the other Latin countries the
great gift day of the year is New Years day.
In the popular eye it is the greatest festival OF
the year. 1t is the great family day. In the
morning the children out of bed and at their
stockings before the light Of day has begun to
streak the early morning with dashes of gray.
They then rush off to be the first to salute their
parents and offer them good wishes for the new
year. If any member of the family has died dur
ing the year all the relatives assemble at
the grave in the early morning, renewing flowers
and ornaments. After the midday meal, the
younger members of the family cali upon the
older ones and in the evening they all meet for
dinner at the home of the oldest member, who
is considered the head of the family. When the
French speak of their family it is in the broad
sense and includes all relatives.

SELECTING FARM ANIMALS.

correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
Good selection of animals for the
farm is necessary for success, and
whether one is purchasing the ami
mails or wedding out from the herds
and dooks those which are not wanted
he will fud a good knowledge of Ger
tain qualities necessary for his work.
The animals best adapted TO the
work and the farm are those which
n needs. To do this pedigree and
records are not the only considera
ton. A man may be so situated
that a costly bred animal might not
be what he wanted at all. He would
need good animals, those which would
produce excellent results, but not
necessarily a high strung, hot house
animal that could show we'll at exhi
billions, but not thrive we'll on the
farm. There is a wide difference be-
tween animals raised for show and
exhi oition, and those needed for
practical farm work. There is Just
as much difference between these as
there is between a high-strung raoe
horse and a heavy, practical pillow
animal, capable of moderate speed,
great endurance, and strength.
Probably the ideal farm horse best
illustrates the kind of animals
needed for the farm. A good pillow
horse or farm horse is a heavy, but
not clumsy animal, and one capable
of exerting great power and endur-
ance in blowing or hauling. At the
same time the animal must be a fair
road horse, not a trotter, but one
that can get across the country roads
at a moderate pace. The animal

a slow, clumsy, mule like creature.
Such ideal farm horses are bred now,
and TO be found on thousands OF
farms. No farmer of any progress

hind some of the old slow-walking
farm horses of a dCzsn years ago.

value. They are suited to a little
rough, practical life, and yet when
kindly treated they respond quickly

A WORD FOB DWARF FRUIr TREES.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
Some of the best Of our fruits are
raised from dwarf trees, and in
Europe where land is expensive these
trees are used almost exclusively
They have been trained to produce
more fruit and less tree and vine.
There they do so we'll that a farmer
with a fraction of an acre of land
can actually raise fruit enough off 1t
TO support his family. In this ooun-
try where land Is plentiful little at
tentiOn has been given to dwarf fruit
trees, and their fruit is hardly known
in our markets. Yet there are some
points of excellence in this class of
trees which should at least command
some attention, especially around
the house where gooo gardens are
cultivated. For instance, 1t Is pos
sible to raise these dwarf trees in
shaded places near buildings where
they will receive ample prOtec-
ton from cold winds 80 they will
produce fruits weeks after all orchard
trees have ceased TO yield. l have
seen dwarf pear trees hold their fruit
six weeks after all the orchard trees
of the same variety had shed their
fruits and leaves. Dwarf peach trees
sandwiched between two houses, or
a nook between two wings of a barn,
have yielded peaches during seasons
when all other peach trees were
killed by the cold weather.
But dwarf peach, apple, pear and
plum trees frequently produce fruits
that are superior to any raised in the
orchard, and one who attempted to
raise just this GLASS of fruit might
easily supply the best markets with
fancy fruits not Obtainable else
where. The fruits incline to grow
nearly a third larger on dwarf trees
where proper thinning out is fol
lowed, and without losing any of
their flavor 20 common TO most large
fruits. Dwarf trees are not so un-
profitable in the orchard as many
imagine, for what they lose in pro-
portion of trunk and limbs they gain
in being closer planted together in
the rows. Orchards of dwarf trees
Of both plums and pears are planted
with the trees only about u dozen
feet apart, and yet they are not
crowded even when the trees reach
full maturity. This fact makes an
acre of dwarf trees appear more
favorable than might seem at frat
Thought. Those who cut b ok their
trees continually year after year get
the best results with their fruits,
and the dwarf trees simply represent
this system carried to IN extreme.
Is may be possible that the American
system of cutting back severely each
year is better adapted to our coun-
try than raising the extreme dwarf
varieties. M. A. 8ODwELL.
