THE RURAi. NEW-YORKER 
March 17 
Rurallsms— Continued. 
-Db. Fabrar: “Little self-denials, 
little honesties, little passing words of 
sympathy, little nameless acts of kind¬ 
ness, little silent victories over favorite 
temptations—these are the silent threads 
of gold which, when woven together, 
gleam out so brightly in the pattern of 
life that God approves.” 
- W. H. liowKEB IN Massachusetts 
Ploughman : “I think this question of 
profit in the use of chemical manures is 
largely one of individual conditions which 
each man must study for himself, bear¬ 
ing in mind always that he cannot ex¬ 
haust the chemicals in one season unless 
the conditions are unusually favorable 
for a large crop.” 
CATALOGUES, ETC., RECEIVED. 
G. H. & J. H. Hale, South Glaston¬ 
bury, Conn.—A catalogue of strawberry 
plants, raspberries, blackberries, cur¬ 
rants and fruit trees. Tbe Hales are 
headquarters for the Ironclad Crosbey 
peach. Meeks’s Early strawberry is re¬ 
garded “ as the acme of sweetness and 
rich, high flavor.” The list is not a long 
one, but it is well selected. 
R. M. Kellogg, Ionia, Mich.— “ Great 
Crops of Small Fruits, and How He Grows 
Them,” being a treatise upon the im¬ 
proved methods of propagating plants

grafting.
