They received good average prices for the products. Some of the liberal-viewed agricul­ turists say that farming did pay, es­ pecially in 1893. There is a cause for the change from the long-con­ tinued cry, "farming does not pay." It is diversified farming. Few in­ deed are the farmers of to-day whose labors are confined entirely to the same crops year after year, as was the custom not long ago. In .uiry shows that the best crop the farmers raised last year was potatoes. Fully 100,000 bushels were grown. Of this amount 75,000 bushels, for Which dealers paid 60 cents a bushel, were shipped to Philadelphia in carload lots, making a train of 167 cars. Two years ago 30,000 bushels of potatoes were shipped from Oxford. A lo al pro­ ducer says that ir. costs $40 to raise and market an acre of potatoes. The average for the season is 150 bushels an acre from eight bushels of J>eed, and the return is $50 aniacre. There are some farmers who Harvested H >0 bushels of tubers from an acre of land. It is estimated that within a radius of twenty miles of Oxford 200,- 000 bushels of potatoes were gathered from September 1. That the farm­ ers were eager to compete in raising potatoes, and that their efforts were not confined to one variety was shown at the local fair, where twenty-five varieties were on exhibition. A conservative farmer has figured on the cost of production of grain compared with potatoes. He reports: tittie cost of raising ten acres of wheat is $224.38; sale of 200 bushels ot wheat at 64 cents and ten tons of straw at $5, $188; loss on ten acres $44.38; eiuivalent to a loss of 22 cents a bushel at the rate of twenty bushels an acre. The total cost of ten acres of oats is $175; sale of 350 bushels of oats at 35 cents and six tons of straw at $6, $158.50; loss on ten 4 acres, $16.f>0: e uivalent to a loss of 44 cents a bushel attherateof thirty* five bushels an acre The total cost of ten acres of corn is $247; sale of 450 bushels of corn at 50 cents and 1,500 bundles of fodder at 3 cents, $273; net gain on ten acies, $26; equivalent to a profit of about 6 cents a bushel. The total cost of ten acres of hay is $107.87; sale of 12.} tons of hay at $12, $150: net gain on ten acres, $45.13; e >uivalent to a profit of $3.50 a ton. These estimates are at the rate of $18 for six days' plow­ ing the ten acres; $28 a ton for fer­ tilizer; $7 an acre fnr interest and in­ surance, and average prices for the other items. The total cost of ten acres of potatoes is $400; sale of 1,500 bushels of potatoes at 60 cents, $900; profit of $500, or $50 an acre. Another crop the farmers realized a i unusual price for is apples. Not­ withstanding the severe and destruc­ tive storms laso summer, which re­ sulted in the loss of fulJy half of the maturing fruit, the apple yield was large.--littsburgh Commercial-Ga­ zette. '• Improved Hickory Nuts. In the attention that has been given to the nui-bearing trees in re­ cent yearss veral improved hickories --mainly of the smaller-sized shell- barks--have been brought into notice. One of these, Hale's (called Hale's Paper Shell, at first) has already been mentioned in these columns. It was first described by Andrew S. Fu ler in his interesting work, "Practical Forestry," published about ten years airo. In the report of the United States Secretary of Agriculture for 18U2, there is a description of this variety, and of two others named respectively Curtis and Ideal. All three, as stated by Pomologist Van Deman, are good and desirable so far as fiavor is con­ cerned, but the cracking qualities of Hale's and Ideal are "not the best, many hal\es of the kernels being broken, or marred by the shallow though clasping partition walls." ~ Curtis was raised by Curtis Coe of Connecticut, the originator of Coo's Transparent cherry, one of the tine old varieties. He planted the nut from which Curtis came in 1851', and the tree is now eight or ten inches in diameter. It is said to be standing near\he original (Joe's Transparent cherry tree. Mr. Van Deman states that "tne nut is medium size, has very slight angles and may be rated among the best in thinness of shell, fullness of kernel, and ease with which the kernel can be removed in halves. Its flavor is good, and the tree is said to be very productive." Judge Samuel Miller of Missouri (formerly of Pennsylvania), has l een giving special attention for many years to improved nuts, persimmons, and other native American fruits, and there are doubtless many choice , ,.varieties in bis possession. The fruit- dcsc^ti^no^o'ur complete j loving public, both East and West, lines for ladies and gen-1 are looking forward with much inter- ^™u"™tt7catoiogu~t 'est to the results of his long experri- gi«njr in- jence in this and other lines of horti- cultural work. he Is paving from 2 t > 21 cents a pound for fair to good 1 to 2 year old animals, mostly of the latter age They bring from $12 to $15 each, with occasionally some that touch the $20 mark. As a rule the prices do not cover cost of production, in the opin­ ion of our informant, but the entire absence of profit is due more to quality of the animals than to the very low price, though with the best sorts the profit is too small to count, but even a small profit beats a loss out of sight. This buyer relates one incident to illustrate the difference letween rearing fine grade cattle of the pronunced beef type and those of the no-particular-purpose kind. He found a lot of tirade yearlings, bred expressly for beef, and though they were carried through their first winter on ha^ alone, having no grain I whatever, that weighed about 750 i pounds each, and were considered a i good purchase at $20 a nead, which ; their buyer thought must have paid i their owner a very fair profit; cer­ tainly much better than the 2-vear- old fellows that brought from $12 to $15 each. It is such cattle that we must breed for. It is imperative that It be done when prices are very low, and is vastly more profitable to do it when prices are high. v Proaln* Many experiments have been made under different conditions to show the advantages of pruning the grape, where a proper medium is observed between too light pruning and exces­ sive cutting away. We have seen a vineyard ruined in a single season by cutting away nearly all the bearing shoots, the mistaken notion being held that they would ripen better by letting in the sunlight The leaves being mostly cut off the remainder nearly starved the fruit The Mis­ souri Experiment Station tried prun­ ing different degrees of the vine. The vines were pruned from one bud only to six buds, one portion not being pruned at all. Another part of the vineyard was allowed to grow four canes from this root, which were puned to three feet long. The fruit subsequently reached its full size. The grapes which were pruned to one and two eyes had well- filled bunches, the berries being one third larger than the unpruned vines. The rot was much worse on the unpruned. There is fully four times as much rot in the unsprayed vines as in those that have been sprayed. The Fiavor of Hoaey. Mr. C N. Wilson, a California writer, claims that the fiavor of honey made by bees in altitude 700 to 1,000 feet above the sea level is better than that made near the sea­ shore. It is possible that this differ­ ence is due to the less rainfall on the higher ground, as at the medium alti­ tude there is likely to be less rain than along the seashore or near the top of high mountains, A wet, suu- less season affects the quality of fruits, and it may well do the same to the amount and quality ot the sweets which the flowers-contain. Corn Heal for Winter Butter. While bran is all right to make quantity of milk, it does not make a rich milk fall of butter fats. For this purpose there is no winter feed so good as corn meal, fed either with corn ensilage or with cut corn stalks moistened with hot water. It is better for a winter feed than linseed or cotton-seed meal, as these have the effect of making the butter fats too hard for cold-weather use. The use of cotton-seed meal comes just right in summer. The butter then is sure to come soft, and is often un­ manageable from this caus$. W. T j .

T#m New Hampshire experiment station finds that gluten meal tends to produce a softer quality of butter than cotton seed meal or corn meal, and, other things being equal, tends to lesson the churnability of the but­ ter fats. THE average production of our farms, in almost every line, Is only about one quarter of that which is secured by the best of our farmers. This should give food for thought It is possible for every man to make a near approach to the four-fold crop. THE time is coming, when root crops will have a lareer place in our agriculture thap they now occupy. One advantage that they have over grain crops is that they are less liable to make a complete (allure from drought, insects, and other cau-es. THE underdrained barnyard or dooryard is rarely muddy. Though the ground is naturally dry it will probably pay to underdrain. Under- drainage mitigates drouth as well as flood. The underdrain dooryard and lawn will grow a better and a greener turf. AN eminent agiculturist says that there is nothing more certain than that the productiveness of very many of our fruits and vegetables--and those the most valuable--is often tremendously increased by bees, in the important work of pollenizingtbe flowers. LARGE fowls do not sell as readily as those of medium size.

It has a cachet all its own, and if it is less difficult of access to foreigners than London or Paris society, it is so simply because hostesses too implicity rely upon their friends of both sexes not to introduce Into their salons any but persons of irreproachable charac­ ter. The Kussian lady is so clever that she does not require any details of a story. She guesses at these, and if necessary supplies them, in other words,, invents them. The one word which that guileless official has let drop--which she has "surprised on his lips"--serves her as the key to the mystery; the rest is easy. Of course, she only communicates these state secrets to her most intimate friends, who themselves are sworn to secrecy, but she has so many friends of both sexes that in an incredibly short space of time the important morsel of gossip Is literally all over St Petersburg. To the foreign am­ bassadors she is more valuable than a legion of spies. Those persons are assiduous visitors to the leading sa­ lons, where, as may be supposed, they pick up quite as much as they want to know, and thus are often better informed than the Emperor's Minis­ ter of Foreign Affairs himself. There : is a mad race among the fair leaders of the grand monde to attract the largest number ot diplomatists and great personages in their drawing- rooms. Thus it happens that the younger women, if not excluded from the salons which they would so adorn but for this political era e, ate not often seen in the orincipal house, save at balls and similar frivolous gatherings The St Petersburg sa­ lons are really not a whit better than the men's clubs, presided over by maitresse de maison.

' One of those strange chancfes whlch afterward seetn to have been the de­ sign of Providence, occurred years ago at Christ Church, in Gardiner, Maine. Late at night the building was struck by lightning, and one point of the roof.wassoon in a blaze. Every one within a possible radios rushed to the re-cue, but no one could scale the height, and it seemed as if the church must go. Suddenly a voung man who had been a sailor, and who bore no envi­ able reputation in the neighborhood, appeared on the roof. Water was raised to him in buckets by the men below, and, agile as a cat he ran about dashing it cpon the (lames, he worked with a will, and at length began chopping away at the roof tim­ bers with an axe. This, however, slipped from his grasp, and fell crash ing into\he church below. 4 There goes my ax right down into Capt. Kimball's pew!" called the sailor, and lie accompanied the re­ mark with a great oath. tfishop Burgess, who was in the crowd, he ird the words and the oath, and as soon as the fire was under con­ trol, he asked the name of the yo ing man who had saved the church. The next day the bishop went to the sail or*s home, talked with him familiarly about the sin of profanity, and gave him a little prayer-book. So warm was the bishop's love of mankind that no one could listen to him without believing in its sincerity.

Robert Chambers, the large-hearted and honest publisher, one night ap­ peared at his club, after a short ab­ sence, and there delighted at least one member--J. G Jeaffreson--by a deliriously frank expression of opinion, .leaffreson began the conversation by asking: "What have you been doing since I saw you last?" "I have joost been spending the time in Scotland with my ain people, and for my diversion I have been reading jet again Scott's novels, went deliberately through the whole lot o' them. What do you think of a mon o' my years spending the^reater part of the long holidays in sic a way?" "It was in that way that 1 first made acquaintance with the Waver- ley novels," was the enthusiast c re­ ply, "in a broil ng hot summer and autumh. How you must have en­ joyed yourself!" ."Weel, weel, I canna say," re­ turned the Scottish publisher and man of letters. Then he looked warily up and down the room to make sure of not being heard by any brother Scotsman, and continued: "I canna say I enjoyed the bulks so much as I did in my younger time. I would not say It aloud in Adinbro, but weel you believe me when I say that Sir Walter isn't what be used to be to me? To tale you the truth," he added, lowering his voice almost to a whisper, "to tale you the truth, I found him rather prosy!

That the Continent of Europe is passing through a cold period has been pointed out by M. Flammarion, the French astronomer. During the past six years the mean temperature of Paris has been about two degrees below the normal, and Great Britain, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Austria, and Germany have also been growing cold. The change seems to have been in progress in France for a long time, the growth of the vine having been forced far southward since the thirteenth century, and a similar cooling has been observed as far away as Bio de Janeiro, where the annual temperature has been going Royal Bnc For generations it tom to mix the batter calces with yeast or ing a portion of the from one morning to raise the cakes for the following day.

JULE'S VERNE'S IDEAS. Th® Fnnoh Story Writer Explains What He Alma At. In the course of a conversation with R. H. Sherard on his life ana work, re­ ported in McClure's Magazine, Jules Verne says: "My object has been to <le- Eiet the earth, and not the earth alone, ut the universe, for I have sometimes taken my readers away from the earth, in the novel. And I have tried at the same time to realize a very high ideal of beauty of style. It is i aid that there can't be any style in a novel of adven­ ture, but that isn't true: though I ad­ mit that it is very much more difficult to write such a novel in a good literary form than the studies of character which are so much in vogue. And let me say"--here Jules Verne slightly raised his broad shoulders-*-"that I am no very great admirer of the psycho­ logical novel, so-called, because I don't see what a novel ha 3 to do with psy­ chology, and i can't say that I admire the su-called psychological novelists. I except, however, D unlet and De Mau­ passant. For De Maupassant I have the very highest admiration. He is a man of genius, who has received from heaven the gift of writing evervthing, and who produces as naturafly and easily as an apple tree produces ap­ ples. My favorite author however, is, and always has been, Dickens. I don't know more thaa a hundred words of English, and so have to read him in translation. But I declare to you, sir" --Verne laid his hand upo.i the table with emphaus--"that I have read the Whole of Dickens at least ten times over. I cannot say that I prefer him to Maupassant, because there is no comparison possible between the two. But I love him mmensely. and in my forthcoming novel, 'Petit Bonhomme,' the proof of this i« given and acknowl­ edgment of my debt is made. I am also and have always been a great ad­ mirer of Cooper s no\ els. There are fif­ teen of these which I consider im­ mortal."

Captain Derby, better known to fame by his literary name, "John Phoenix," perpetrated a joke (retold in Harper's Weekly) which is one of the classics at West Point. The Theoreti­ cal Journal of the siege prescribes just what is to be done in investing a forti­ fication, witU the invariable result-- theoretical, of course--that the works are obliged to surrender within a cer­ tain number of days. Professor Mahan called upon Derby to explain how, with a given number of guns and strength of garrison, he would defend a fort. "I would immediately evacuate the fort, then lay siege to it, and recapture it in forty-one days," replied Derby.

One trivial though characteris­ tic incident narrated is quoted as fol­ lows by the Toronto Empire: Jowett's brevity of speech and dispatch of busi­ ness never shone more than on the great occasion of his dealing with the refractory washerwomen of Balliol. These worthy dames struck for higher wages in one department. Twelve col­ lars for a shilling was, I believe, the statutory price. They came to inter­ view the master. "The washerwomen have come to see you," said the butler. "Show the ladies up." said the mas­ ter. They c'umped into the room to flbd him fiddling with the poker at the ashes in the grate. He turned - round. "Will vou wash twelve collars for a shilling?"" They began to expostulate. He touched the bell. In came the butler. "Show the ladies down." Presently the butler appeared again.
