FUR THE FARM AJiD HUME. I Orchids, ( I It Is difficult to describe to one not u botanist just what an orchid is. It is monocotyledenous, belongs to the same order grasses do, arid is com¬ monly called an air plant. It Is seldom symmetrical, is not pleasantly odorous, Is not pretty, does not look imposing or attractive, and only has one quali¬ fication that makes it valuable—it Is rare. And still there uro over 7000 varieties that grow all over the world except in the far north. Vermont has forty-two species. The word orchid is pronounced as if it were spelled orkid. But the genuine orchid collector never speaks of his pet by the generic term. He tells you his Masdevailla tovarensis is the finest in the world, or that his Grammatophylum Ellisl suberba has injured her left hind leaf, If he is profane he swears by the soul of his Odotoglossum citrosmum, or falls on his knees in devout worship of a new Aerides virens majus. But when he succeeds in cross-breeding a new species he makes a holiday of tiie occasion, celebrates the anniversary ever)'year, and names it after himself with a Latin termination. The Brat Ntili for Ilona. An empty larrel makes the best nest for a sitting hen. It may be set out in the yard or the orchard, and be safe from rain or storm, and if closed by a loose door in the front at night, there will be no danger from vermin. A llour barrel is sunk in the ground for one-fourth, or one-third its diameter, sloping it a little for- ward, to prevent rains from beating hh The excavated earth is Ailed back into the barrel, a nest being made in the center of it. This makes a very convenient arrangement, and gives an earth bottom to the nest, with every facility for controling the hen and the chicks. If these nests are scattered about the yard, hens will take posses- sion of them, and when one takes to sitting, she may be furnished with eggs, and closed up with a slatted door, or a coop set in front of a bar- rel, and protected from disturbance by other hens. The coop will serve for feeding and watering the hen, and allow her a place for exercise. As one rarely has things ready when they are wanted for use, it is w ell to look alter such things its these in time, especially when early chicks are raised. Where barrels are not vo be had conveniently, coops made in (lie shape of small sheds, and weather¬ proof, with loose doors to close them at night, can be made through the winter, in readiness for the early sitters .—American Agriculturist. Thinning Klill*. J. B. Moore remarked at a meeting of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, that he never sa.v a workman who had sufficient courage to thin peaches sufficiently. The work must be done as soon as the crop has set ’ and the early dropping has ceased; or when the peaches are about the size of w’alnuts. The hardening of the stones afterward exhausts the tree. He said a good rule was to pick off as many as you think ought to be removed, and then take off half the remainder. A better and more definite rule is to leave the fruit at stated distances on the branches, or about four inches apart for small varieties, and five or six for larger ones. Orcliardists should bear in mind that thinning, properly per¬ formed, does not lessen the bulk of the crop, as the specimens grow so much larger that the same number of bush¬ els remain. The owner of a peach orchard thinned the crop on a part of his trees, and the fruit on these, with¬ out lessening the quantity, sold freely for a dollar and a-half a bushel, while from the unthinned trees it had a dull sale at fifty cents. A portion of the trees in an orchard of Louise Bonne, of Jersey, hail half the pears taken off, but there was still as large a crop as on the other tree, and the owner said that if he removed two-thirils or three- fourths it would have been still better. Jt is easier to sweep them off with the hand when small, than to pick ali when large and to assort them. The Farmer’* Door Yard. No good rttason exists why the country door yard should not be one of the most tasteful and attractive places; but nowhere is carelessness, sliiftlessness and slovenliness moreap- parent than in many door yards The wood pile Is in disorder, heaps of dtl bones, broken bricks, ashes, tin war ■, cast away axe and hoe handles, broken crockerv of every description, old hat A * ,.n , rag.-, 00 ,, ‘M ,ln ‘ , r '' ,, 1 ,pr '*’ , '|' (> s.Bit. wires, g ass and t ups ie ad aiiout.

The fences aroun ! the house are of alliru- maginable kinds, refuse pickets with tops broken off, and frequent omis¬ sions to let a cow through; a piece of board fence with no two boards alike; with now and then a slab tucked in; theri a remnant of some former gant fence tn fill a gap, the gates off the hinges an I leaning up against tl. • lence. Scenes of door yards like thu may be found without much ing. The owner says he has not time to attend to it, but will straighten it El up some rainy day; that rainy flay never comes, so he lives and dies with his door yard full of all sorts of rub¬ bish. Is It a marvel that his children leave early such a home to swell the crowd of our large cities, where they can earn little more than their board and clothes ?— Witness. New Rtiil 01*1 Nffd*. A writer In the London Garden, re- ferring to the well-known fact that new seeds usually germinate more quickly than old ones, says that many old ones will germinate well with heat, that would perish in cold ground —a fact which should be borne in mind by thoso who are testing seeds this year in warm rooms. Among those which may be kept two seasons arL , name d onions, salsify and some others, while lettuce, tomatoes and artichokes will continue good three seasons; cabbage, turnips, spinaoh, kales, etc., four seasons; and melons, cucumbers and beets, for five or six seasons. It must, however, be borne j n niind that such rules as these are more or less arbitrary, as much de¬ pends on the condition of tho seeds and the temperature and dampness of the place where they are kept, and on the condition of the soil which re¬ ceives them, favorable influences s , jm etime» more than doubling their ^ ee pj n g > an d favoring or preventing germination altogether. Another good authority says; ..j; an y vegetable seeds, properly kept, are good to a . Kreen ol( , ag& .

Especially is it pref- erable to get them direct from reliable seedsmen each year than to trust to those sold’on commission at the vil¬ Ja g e store. Before planting any seed, whether home-grown or from any other source, test each variety before entrusting them to the soil, Top of Whenever it becomes necessary to top-dress mowing land, the question as to the best time forces Jtself upon the farmer, and he often settles it without fora moment considering the kind and quality of the manure to be applied. As this has as much to do as the season of application, it should be the first thing considered. When bam manure somewhat coarse and green is to be applied, then it must bo evident to every one who has given the subject any attention that it should be applied some months before it is required to furnish plant food; for if applied in the spring, just before tho grass begins to grow, it cannot de¬ compose quick enough to furnish very much substance to the grass before mowing time; but if applied in the autumn, the frosts and sudden changes during the winter ivill pul- verize it and settle it down among the grass roots, so that as soon as warm spring weather comes it will rapidly : decompose and produce just the ma- 1 terials wanted by the growing grass. The result will be, as a rule, the first crop will be much larger than those if the manure la not applied until spring, and it will also have so settled down among the grass roots that it will not interfere with cither the mower or the rake. If a quick-acting fertilizer is to he applied, like superphosphate or nitro- gen in the form of nitrate of soda, it would be a very wasteful practice to apply it several months before the grass begins to grow; if applied in the fall, much of it would be lost before spring. But if it were applied in the spring, a short time before the grass begins to grow’, it would chunge at once into p ant food and furnish just the material needed to make the grass grow. If the material to be applied be a substance like ground bone or ashes, then little if any loss will occur by a PP')’‘ n 8 L in lbe autumn. In fact. experience seems to prove that it is the best time to apply both ground bone and ashes as soon as tho second crop of grass is cui in the autumn. Ry so toing the grass starts at once and grows enough before freezing weather to protect the grass roots and to so cover the fertilizer as to keep it from blowing away, and to also prepare it for rapid decomposition when spring opens .—Massachusetts Ploughman.

INTHE LAST FORTY YEARS Facts About the World’s Pro¬ gress in that Time* The People of the New World Out¬ stripping Those of the Old, In the forty-nine years’ reign of Queen Victoria the government of that great nation has been growing more and more liberal, while the peo¬ ple are enjoying very much of what is known as American freedom. Never before has an election to the House of Commons been ntteiuleil*wlth such In¬ terest and importance, for the issue relates to the extension of human rights, tho enlargement of personal liberty. France has outlived, in form, for a season at least, her Napoleonic rule, and settled into a Republic not unlike the United States. Germany, adher¬ ing to her time-honored King, lias re¬ leased to the people many privileges, and extended lur power since the Franco-Itussian victories, but America, the scion of the oldest government, with more land and energy than her father, Inis out-grown till expectations. The majority of people, a life of suc¬ cess equal to their hopes and inspira¬ tions is glory quite sutliciert, yet who had ever predicted that America, the once bleak and despised Republic, should distance all competitors? The day of trouble brought us doubt of it; tho hour of peiil led us to question if we had planned wisely, but the hours of triumph in liberty, unity, currency and credit made us proud of our na¬ tional influence. In New York, Pennsylvania, Vir¬ ginia, and New England there were farms and homes and improvements as long as forty years ago, but the better part came on much later. Within the period of forty years has been nade the greatest gains and the fast¬ est time ever before recorded in any country. In tiie West we knew very little ol luxury forty years ago. The bulk of Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, and the States further to¬ ward sunset, have grown into being and blossomed into gardens within the hist third of a century. The pruned and cultivated farms of England have been trained and tended for many centuries, while the fields and prairies of Indiana and Dakota were homes of red men and free lands of hunters. The limit of English land and the ex¬ tent of our own is the chief cause of one’s liner cultivation and the other’s rugged developments. Hut the people in the New World are even ahead of their improvements. Inventors by the thousands, machine- ry by the' mile lernrth, mining and stock raising, grain and wood com- merce, trade and speculation, out- grows the mother countries by degrees beyond counting, and America, once so poor and dependent that she invited France to join her in a struggle for independence, may now claim metre liberty, more progress, and more inde- pendence than even England. Jn land, exclusive of India and Can- ada, what country’ can compare with America? In machinery, implements, wood, iron, coal, gold, silver, salt and minerals, timber lumber, railway and cattle ranges, where is her equal? In growth of men and development of letters—counting of course, the meagre beginning—what a wonderful and marvelous advancement. It is not the climate, nor the water, nor the lo- cation, nor the soil, nor the advanta- ges, but the men that iiave made it I It is not the land of a street, but the men on it that improve it. It is not the money we had, but the money we earned that made the nation rich. It is the grand co-partnership of the peo- pie, who somehow all feel an interest in its progress, that has made Ameri- ea so thrifty, so progessive, and so prosperous for the forty years gone by, and will make her such a monument national greatness in the coming century.—J. W. Donovan,'in Chicago Current. _ Saved His Cattle. The French Professor Pasteur, who has made himself famous by inoculat- ing men and cattle with disease germs to insure them against epidemics, ought to yield the palm of priority in that discovery to a humble priest of ourown country, says a Russian paper, ln 18t>8, when ‘.he Siberian plague was killing the cattle in this place, Father Andrew Joakimansky of the Troitzky village, resorted to a desper- ate means in order to pavi his cows. He got some blood from a dying cow, saturated threads with that blood, and passed these threads through the ears of the healthy cows, numbering elev- en. At the place where the ears were punctured there appeared tumors of the size of pigeon eggs. In a short time those tumors disappeared, and the cows remained alive and healthy, though " th* rest of the cattle of that Vll ' Kge p eri8heJ ~ A Ball of Fire. Captain Hanson, of the bark Paul¬ ine, from, Cardiff, at Quebec, recounts a strange phenomenon. In latitude 55 degress north, longitude 46 degrees west, during a rainstorm, a brilliant ball of fire lodged on the deck, and for a few minutes played about from the ca biu to the forecastle, prostrating the captain and two seamen. AVith a loud report the fiery visitor disappeared as suddenly as it appeared, without dam- aging the vessel. TOPICS OF TIIE HAY. Don’t “go west, young man.” hut south. Read this from the Palatka (Fla.) Herald: “Two-thirds of the wealth of the town is to be inherited by young girls with orange groves. Their fathers have no sons and no poor relations. These groves will average an income of $40,000 clear of all expenses.” Under a la - > granting a right of action against the party who last fur¬ nished liquor to an intoxicated person who may commit any damage, a Lawrence, Mass., man has recovered $150 for injuries he sustained by hav¬ ing a drunken man fall against him, but the saloonkeeper against whom the award was given has appealed the case. Sportsmen should be careful not to eat from meat of animals which have been much tortured by dogs during the death agony. Dr. Delmars of the National Society of Microscopists, in examining samples of the meat the eating of which had killed several per¬ sons in Monmice, Ill., found changes which were clearly attributable to a frenzied condition of the animals from which It was taken, The Doctor’s opinions upon the subject were formed after careful microscopical examina¬ tions of hundreds of samples of meat from cattle slaughtered in Chicago while they were in a. frenzied condi- tion from fright. A grain ranch in California has been visited by a correspondent and described as a sample of the farms ol the region. The house, standing un¬ der broad nut trees, is plain, partly of logs boarded over, but roomy and com¬ fortable in that climate, though it would be thought rough and rickety for iin Eastern farmer. “The parlor has a brussels carpet, piano, haircloth furniture and pictures; the family room and guest chamber have heavy, good carpets and old-fashioned ma¬ hogany, dating years ahead of any ‘art period.’ The family live well, taking three newspapers and a maga¬ zine for the children. The wife has her silk gowns and gold watch, her gilt china and solid silverware; but. the ranch is seven miles from any vil¬ lage, and she has not been off the place for five years or had a visitor in that time.” Some days ago, says the London Telegraph, a letter appeared in a con- temporary, calling attention to the employment of women in collieries— not in the m ‘ nes ’ collrse - since * s ’"egal, but on the bank and at the P il ’ 8 mouth ’ I ; ar S R » ulllbers of women are notoriously so engaged, ani * Ina ^ a *' once be granted that t be ' r occupation is about as unfemi- nine as ^ is P 0SB ^ e to conce Ke.

A recent issue of the London News says; Last evening, in accordance with a time-honored custom, the an- nual “Lion” sermon was preached at St. Katherine Cree, Leadenhall street, by the Rev. Dr. Whittemore. The ori- gin of this service dates back some two and a half centuries ago, when, accord .g to tradition, Sir John Gayer, who was at one time Lord Mayor of Loudon, left a sum of money for the purpose of commemorating his re- markable escape from death while journeying in Arabia or some other Eastern country. While travelling on this particular occasion Sir John was unexpectedly 1 J confronted by a lion, Having no weapon near at hand, the knight fell on his knees in prayer, and, according to the legend, the king of beasts, hav¬ ing taken a quiet survey of the worthy knight, suddenly turned and walked off in another direction, leaving him unharmed. Sir John Gayer, on from hisdevotion, vowed to commem- orate his unlooked-for escape, and made a bequest for instituting a ser- vice to be held on the anniversary of his adventure, which is said to have taken place on the 16th of October. The lion sermon from that time has therefore been annually preached on this date at St. Katherine Cree. Last night the rector founded his discourse on a passage from the 78th Psalm and part of the 4th verse. “Showing to the generations to come the praises of the Lord, and His strength and His wonderful works that Ho hath done.” There was a large congregation, and at the concluslon tke ssrvice an offertory was taken on behalf of the choir funds.
