WTien a goose lays an egg, she just 

 waddles off as if she was ashamed of 

 it, — because she is a goose. When a 

 hen lays an egg, she calls heaven and 

 earth to witness it. The hen is a nat- 

 ural born advertiser. Hence the de- 

 mand for hens' eggs exceeds the de- 

 maud for goose eggs, and the hen has 

 all the business she can attend to. 

 — Andrew Lang.

 shattered his nerves and caused him 

 to end his life. 



MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL 

 COLLEGE. 



The short course class in floriculture 

 has recently taken its annual trip to 

 Boston to visit the markets, stores and 

 greenhouse establishments in that vi- 

 cinity. Three days were spent visiting 

 the various places. The first day in- 

 cluded visits to J. T. Butterworth at 

 South Framingham, S. J. Goddard and 

 Wm. R. Nicholson at Framingham and 

 Robert Montgomery at Natick. An 

 early start was made the next morn- 

 ing in order to see the Boston flower 

 markets when business was in full 

 swing. The remainder of the morning 

 was spent in visiting the retail stores 

 in the city; in the afternoon a trip 

 was made to Peter Fisher's establish- 

 ment at Ellis, Mass. On the last day 

 the places visited were Thomas Rol- 

 and's range at Nahant, William Sim's 

 at Cliftondale, and Thomas Roland's 

 range at Revere. This trip has come 

 to be one of the features of the course 

 since it gives the students an oppor- 

 tunity to see all phases of the horticul- 

 tural industry.

Where there Is a hoase that Is Just 

 full of buds almost ready to show color, 

 nothing will turn better color Into the 

 flowers than a little soot, that can be 

 scattered over the benches before water- 

 ing. The amount applied should not be 

 excessive, as the soot is very strong 

 and may damage some of the foliage 

 somewhat. Apply Just enough to blacken 

 the surface of the soil In the benches, 

 and let it go at that. Better a little 

 oftener than too much all at once.

 that John Chapman had leased the 

 Spauldlng greenhouses at Beverly 

 Farms, Mass., and was to run them 

 commercially. Mr. Chapman states, 

 however, that the owners have de- 

 cided not to operate the garden this 

 year, and the position of superinten- 

 dent being abolished, Mr. Chapman 

 terminated his affiliation, with the 

 good will and best wishes of the pro- 

 prietors.
