Canned pe aches will be dear next year.... 
Mr. Decker, of Kentucky, tells Mr. Geo. S. 
Wales that ho is “still of the opinion that the 
Longfellow is the best large strawberry in the 
world.” He had them four by six inches in 
circumference. At the Rural Grounds Sharp¬ 
less is larger and more productive but less 
regular in shape. 
Major Fkeas (Peon.) regards the Gifford 
Pear as the most desirable variety among ear¬ 
ly pears, and ho thinks it ought to bo found 
upon every farm and in every garden. It is a 
rampant grower, an early and constant bearer 
and of excellent quality. 
There aro men who have so little of earnest 
ambition in their Lives that you are forced to 
the conclusion that they were born merely for 
the purpose of digestion. 
No man can go into bad company without 
suffering for it. The homely old proverb has 
it very tersely, “ A man can’t bite the bottom 
out of a frying-pan without smutting his 
nose.”.. 
The Farming World very justly holds that 
a newspaper publisher has no more right to 
exact money for imagining hundreds or thou¬ 
sands of circulation than u merchant has to 
sell twelve yards of calico and measure button 
yards. 
Mr. Cclhkrt Murray (England) says that 
an ordinary-sized dairy cow in full profit will 
consume from 65 to 70 pounds of food per day 
—say 20 pounds of hay. 40 pounds of roots or 
other green food, 3 pounds of decorticated cot¬ 
ton cake, 3 pounds of Indian meal, 2 pounds of 
bran, and 2 pounds of bean meal, ut a cost of 
84 c. per week. In addition, the cow will re¬ 
quire from three to four gallons of clean water 
daily. Prudent managers food liberally and 
water sparingly during the early part of the 
day, increasing the water supply us the day 
wears on. The solid and liquid excrements 
will average about 90 pounds per diem, and, if 
carefully preserved, Contain fertilizing ele¬ 
ments worth 60 cents per week. 
Mr. Creswen estimates that out of 60,000 
or 70,000 houses built in London 60,000 arc not 
really fit for human habitation. 
The Gardeners’ Chronicle says that if there 
is nothing in a. name then it matters not that 
the good old English word “Nosegay” has 
given place to tho French word “ Bouquet,” 
yet many there are. who still cherish tho for¬ 
mer for tho sake of its home associations. 
The Iowa Chronicle is not in favor of farm¬ 
ers selling corn at 20 cents a bushel and then 
buying sweet coni at 20 cents per can; or of 
sending pork and .beans to Boston to bo cooked 
and put up in cans and sent back to thorn la¬ 
beled “Boston Baked Beans.” But wo suspect 
that such complaints aro numbered—tho West 
is doing as well as could bo expected. The 
World wasn’t made in a ilav.
