In  the  llunAU  Nkw'-Yorkeu  of  March 
11  iiiid  siihscqueut  issues,  we  gave  a  num¬ 
ber  of  faets  relative  tei  the  Ceuteunial  Com¬ 
mittee  of  Am.  Dairymen’s  Association  luid 
the  manner  in  wliich  a  few  of  the.ir  num¬ 
ber  sought  to  oxmtrol  the  action  of  the 
whole  for  the  immediate  benefit  of  the 
few.  Various  of  our  contemporaries  saw 
fit  to  censure  our  action  in  the  matter  as 
ungenerous  aud  uujmtriotic,  attrihiiting  it 
to  motives  of  personal  feeling  instead  of  to 
a  high-minded  iulention  of  giving  to  the 
public  Um  trutli,  without  regm-d  to  whom 
or  where  it  might  strike.  Aanoug  tho  nu- 
nuTous  jmrties  HiqqKiscd  to  be  in  the  cirti- 
lideuce  of  that  Mt  lot-l  frtv  and  wlio  rusluid

Kkaiuj  of  rJiilmlcljjluu,  in  his  iniuily, 
straight  foi'wiird  letter  puhlished  below, 
he  admits  his  error  and  confesses  to  Imve 
discovered  u  jiortion  of  tho  facts  already 
wcll-kuinvn  to  us  aud  which  were  the  basis 
of  oiir  position  in  the  mutter.  We  are 
Sony  if  any  of  our  friends  are  linrt,  and 
can  only  give  them  the  consolation  of  gni- 
tiiitous’  advice,  to  keeji  out  of  bail  oom- 
jiaiiy  UJ  future.  A  careful  perusal  of  Mr. 
IteAi.i/s  let.teT  (us  well  as  the  lette>r  of  Mr. 
().  S.  Bliss  of  N'ermonl,  imhlislied  on 
another  page  of  this  issue)  is  all  the  vin 
ilication  needed  for  anything  we  may 
liave  said  in  the  past  regarding  the  lliNO 
and  is  also  an  assiiraueo  that,  hit  whom 
or  where  it  may,  the  RtiiiAL  Nicw-Youiiicn 
xvill  always  be  Veiuly  to  pouniie  uiion  fraud 
lUid  exiioso  corruption. 
Even  with  *ill  tliis  before  them  we  do 
not  julvise  Daiiymen  to  abstain  from  ex¬ 
hibiting  at  the"  Centennial ;  but  on  the 
contrarx-,  xve  should  say  that  a  more  bene¬ 
ficial  thhig  could  not  happen  to  the  Dairy 
interest  of  this  country  than  a  large  and 
successful  lUsiday  at  rhUodelphia  xmder

ho'wevei’,  let  us  again  caution  tlie  exhibit¬ 
or  to  see  to  it  that  t]ie  fluids  are  not  di¬ 
verted  from  their  proper  economical  chan¬

A  NEW  way  to  (hive  a  rival  out  of  the  field  is

Tlds  is  equivalent  to  saying  that  there  are  a  great

PiriLADELPHiA  Claims  to  have  been  tho  first  to 
give  to  the  world  the  iron  roller,  now  bo  exteu- 
eively  used  in  gardens  and  upon  the  farm,  and 
this,  too,  only  about  thirty  years  ago.  It's  a  pity 
to  spoil  so  good  a  story,  but  cast-iron  rollers  are 
not  a  Yaukoo  invention.  They  were  in  use  in 
England  iu  the  beginning  of  this  century,  if  not 
before. 
Mr.  Franz  Xavier  Hessinoeb,  Landscape 
Gardener  and  Architect,  whoso  card  apjpeai-s  on 
our  last  page  this  week,  received  tho  lirst  pre¬ 
mium  at  tho  Vienna  Exhibition.  He  has  also 
dune  some  goml  work  in  tlds  countey,  laying  lait

Con.  Hardee’s  theory  that  concuusion  destroys 
insect  life  on  tiees  is  said  to  have  been  put  m 
praoUce  by  a  fruit-giower  in  Louisiaua,  and  that 
coccus,  or  scale  insect,  eradicated  by  tiring  guns 
loaded  with  powder  into  the  trees.  Some  of  our 
fruit-growers  may  atti’ibute  the  destroying  of  the 
scale  to  the  fumes  of  biU'ut  powder  instead  of 
aoucuBBiou. 
Ous  English  cousins  seem  to  take  as  much  in¬ 
terest  in  the  Centennial  Exhibition  as  we  do  on 
this  side  of  the  water,  judging  from  the  way 
they  talk  about  it  iu  their  paixirs.  This  is  just 
as  it  should  be,  for  the  prosperity  of  the  one 
nation  means  the  same  to  the  othei*,  and  the  big

through  their  nieaus,  wliich  wonkl  not  be 
obtained  iu  any  otlier  way  cannot  ho  esti¬

that  one  of  the  strong  fonndatiuim  of  the

Of  all  the  great  Expositions  of  this 
world,  in  many  respects  the  Centennial 
at  Phihidelpliia  is  the  greatest.  In  mag¬

with  its  predoce^ssors  in  foreign  countries, 
but  far  exceeils  them.  No  citizen  of  the 
United  States,  whether  male  or  female, 
aged  or  young,  who  can  command  the 
means,  should  fail  to  attend  it  this  siunmer. 
There  seems  to  be  nothing  in  w'hich  any 
one  can  ho  interested  which  cannot  he 
foimd  there.  If  one  can  imagine  the 
lai-gest  of  onr  State  Faiif  one  thousand 
times  magnified,  it  would  hiadeijuately 
convey  an  idea  of  Philadelphia  Exhi¬ 
bition.  r

view,  the  beholder  is  almost  lost  hi  ad¬ 
miration  of  the  progress  made  by  this 
RURAL  NOTES  AND  QUERIES 
TIic  INmiological  DiMplay.  —  It 
would  seem  that  the  slniek  of  our  Na¬ 
tional  bird  hud  sadly  disccmcertcd  tlie 
good  judgment  of  the  gentlemen  who 
manage  our  agricultural  affairs  at  the 
Ceuteunial,  for  on  no  other  h^vqiothesiscan 
we  nocouut  for  a  Pumologieal  show  at 
this  season.  Of  the  display  we  will  say 
nothing,  it  is  beneath  notice,  and  does 
not  rise  to  the  level  of  wholesome  con¬ 
tempt.  We  might,  good-naturedly,  tol¬ 
erate  vagmics  of  this  khid  at  home, 
hut  wlieu  wc  consider  the  shaiqi,  W'oll- 
traiued,  foreign  eyes,  that  ceaselessly 
watch  this  National  exliibit  of  ourselves, 
we  ought,  surely,  to  ashmish  them  in  the 
right  dh'ectiou — with  the  beauty  and 
quality  of  om  ajiples.  We  can  take  u 
proud"  stand  on  apples.  There  is  to  he  a 
ilisplay  of  small  fruits  tins  week.  May 
the  energy  of  the  exhibited  be  the  reverse 
of  the  size  of  the  fniit,  and  a  good  show 
given  !
