Of -course there have been years in which this or that crop did better. There was one year in which wheat yielded as bounteously, three or four when corn was as good and many when fruit was better, hut for an all around year, in which every product does well ami some have beaten the record, no year in our history equals this of 18114. Wheat, midsummer fruits, early vegetables, hay and small (Tops— these are already made and harvested, and the prospect for the autumnal yield is simply wonderful. Equally encouraging to the farmers are the prevailing high prices for corn, hogs .and hay.

The Poetry of Maize.
I stood the other day ou a commanding point overlooking the 1 frond cut section of the Wabash river bottom lands. Five miles to the north and seven to the south, from theOpudu bluffs on the west to the maple clad hills on the east, stretched one vast cornfield, broken only by the river channel— A mighty itKiur. but not w'itho'it a plan. Iii all that area there was not a stalk less than 10 foot high and many over 16, but for the most part a single field would average 12 or 18 feet, and the tassels were just at their loveliest. The wind blew softly from the south, and as the vast yellow sin waved and sparkled iu the morning sunshine the spectator was thrilled with joy and felt that most sublime of all poetry—tiie poetry which
cannot be uttered.
But where is the Wabash river? Well, it has not vanished entirely, as many smaller streams have done, hut it lias shrunk to a mere branch —can be waded by a mere boy at almost any jioiut north of Terre Haute. The people say that there lias li“ver been a year when so small a rainfall was so well
malaria is unknown, the mosquito is described in scientific articles as an almost extinct insect, and there are thousands of voters who never saw a case of ague. Since 1840 the average duration of life has increased 12 years, and while the population has more than doubled crime has decreased onc-third, intemperanco one-half and illiteracy 70 per
cent. Selali!
Glory of the Departed.
To crown the whole, wo have had * ‘General’ ’ t’oxoy with ns, and by a queer coincidence everywhere ho has spoken abundant rains have fallen. He has been driven from the stand at every place by rain! All nature has therefore put on a new aspect. The after harvest pastures show a shining growth and all the woods and cornfields a deeper shade. All the valley smiles with more invit- | ing promise, the slopes to the Wabash attract to a more restful shade, the fall fruits suggest more pleasurable autumnal evenings, and plums of more alluring pnrple glow amid leaves of a deeper green. Can any man describe his native valley impartially? Perhaps not. As 1 gaze on these scenes I find expression (
only in Montgomery’s lines: There Is n land of ev’ry land the pride.

Last winter’s rain and snow were not sufficient to thoroughly wet the carth,aud now the rain goes straight | down wherever it strikes. “This year's •L *’ | drought,’.’ says an old observer, “came ’ just too late to hurt tho corn, just early enough to save the wheat and hay and at exactly the right time to leave a dry season for the fruit and mast. If a committee of grumbling farmers—and they are the grumblingest people in tho world—had tho ordering of it, they couldn’t have bettered it—that is, with no more rain to go ou. ” Jurft the same tho fishing runs are dry, and tltefish are dead.

The Mirunkt n \Valm*h.
Fifty years ago the Wabash was navigable for good sized steamers four months iu the year and sometimes six. Early in March large Ohio river boats began to laud at Terre Haute, and a month later tho trip to Lafayette was made with ease. The history of navigation on this river is the history of civilization condensed. It was first tho canoe made by the Indian of a seasoned log hollowed by fire, then the canoe more gracefully shaped with the help of the white man's hatchet, then in rapid succession the pirogue, keelboat, flatboat, or “broadhorn,’’ and finally the steam-
boat
It was in 1816 that the first steamer went down tho Ohio. The word had gone through the settlements that it was to come, and the pioneers flocked from far and near and camped on tho river banks to see the painted wonder moving without our or sail. Soon after the first steamer landed at Terre Haute, but by 1835 a regular trade was established, and tho whistles of the Plowboy, Fidelity, Victory, Republican, Blue Wing and many other noted boats grew familiar to tho valley farmers. One year 60 boats went up to Lafayette and returned with big cargoes of corn, wheat and whisky. That was the maxi mam. Now it is only in rare seasons that a steamer ventures north of Terre Haute, and then the captain studies tho clouds and at every landing posts himself on tho state of tho inflowing streams. I have breasted the waves made by a stern wheeler 40 miles above Terre Haute on tho first Saturday in July. This year a 10-year-old boy could wade the river at the same point. Sic transit gloria JovisPluvii in oeoidcute, deleta sylva—or words to that effect. The English of the locality has it thus: “Things ain’t like they used to be when we was boys. ’ ’ Tho gain, however, far outweighs tho loss. Forty years ago all this country was as malarious as tho Kongo basin (climate aside), gnats, mosquitoes and greenhead flies rose from tho mucky bottom by billions (an obsolete Hoosier numeral), and for six or eight weeks in every summer the nights were as hot as tho days, and tho days were often hot enough to melt the scalp off an Alabama negro. One-third of the adult population could not road and write intelligently, and when the south wind blew softly after a rain the gnats wore so thick that, in local phrase, “you could write your name iu ’em.” Now tho percentage of illiteracy is lower than in Massachnsetts, the nights are delightfully oool in the hottest weather.

STRAWBERRY CULTURE. Things Told at a New York Farmers’ Club by Prominent Fruitgrower*. Strawberry culture today differs widely from the methods of a generation ago. j Formerly many growers insisted that hill culture, cutting off all runners and confining the plant to a stool was the most profitable way in which to grow strawberries. Now more than nine- ! tenths of all the berries iu our markets are grown on the matted row system. | Formerly our growers aimed to get at least three crops before plowing them under. Today they seldom attempt j more than two, and many plow then) i under after securing a single crop. In some localities one of the greatest draw- J backs to strawberry culture is a frost j late iu May. To obviate this iu a meas I ure progressive growers now mulch heavily when tho ground is frozen in ' the early winter and then leave the i beds covered until a period as late ns it may be safely done. Every grower wants to know about the best berries. A very comprehensive list of present valuable varieties, as named by E. G. Fowler of New- York, are: Michel’s Early Haverlaud, Warfield, Beder Wood, Bnbach, Parker Earle, Lovett’s Early and Timhrell, to which may lie added a few of tho older varieties, such as Cumberland Triumph, : Gandy and Kirkwood. Mr. J. Graham, an experienced New : Jersey grower, said that he preferred to | have the beds three feet wide. One of the best mulches ho knew of was salt hay. Horse manure, well decayed, was also good. Dr. Hexamer explained that it did not pay to raise strawberries of a high flavor. The New Jersey Horticultural | society, in its list of characteristics of : a strawberry, puts size first, general nppearanoe next and quality last. Mr. William Falconer gave his ! method of growing strawberries. He planted the runners in August in rows f two fee t apart in hills two feet asunder iu the row, putting three plants in a hill. Tho next June ho got a crop of fine strawberries. The plants were left it) the patch another year, when they j were then dug under. To obtain a good crop of strawberries it was necessary to apply commercial fertilizer, potash and such like. Treating Crookeil Trees. The treatment for a crooked tree as sketched and described in Meehan’s Monthly is exceedingly simple. A very stout stake is first driven in, lind then a stout piece of wood, fastened to the stake, is made to fit in against

A NEW IDEA. You will remember that Goliah was very mucl | surprised when David hit him with a rock He said such a thing had never entered his head before. ANOTHER SURPRISE.

founded.
None of these efforts was mushroom in its nature, aud while their fame has been and may continue to bo of the “mute, inglorious” kind they serve as a complete refutation of the charge that the negro is not a pioneer. The agitation to settle in Africa has also borne some fruit, and every little while small companies of them leave the country for the far distant shores of Liberia. Ilopeated efforts have been made to colonize large numbers of them in the Mexican states of Sonora and Chihuahua and in Brazil, South America, but without
success.
The latest move is an attempt to settle a “model colored colony” iu Paradise valley, Maricopa county, A. T.,
ing in calico or homespun. Let us turn to those to whom growing old means ! the most, the votaries of fashion, and tell them how to find what solace they i can. For them there are satin brocades in heavy qualities and rich colors, j splendid i>oau do soio that would grace j a queen, and reps with thick cord, and beautiful grosgrain silks. Besides these are moires and velvets aud all the furs except ermine. In fact, it just now strikes mo that the elderly lady can have tho pick and choice of every- | thing. There was one beloved old lady who looked very handsome in a thick black txngahne corded silk made with a plain full skirt. The sleeves had loose balloon puffs, and they and the waist were trimmed with a superb arrauge- j ment of black silk passementeria On j the waist and around it were moire riblions ending in a double bow at the waist. On her head perched above the ' palpable “front” was a sort of cap, with

hunch of white lilies of the valley on the top. The lace was black chantilly
and real.
Her daughter, herself a mother, wore a dove colored rep, with three narrow mflles made of gauze, striped ribbons

After one year of this treatment the trunk will continue straight. When a tree is hut a few years old and can be made to bond by tho hands, it can be brut straight by main force. Though tho wood may crack or split somewhat under the strain, all will grow together again and no injury j

Currant bushes often seem to have a much weaker growth than should bo natural to them. When such weakened branches are cut across, Meehan says that they will often Vie found hollow from the work of the currant stem borer. Before winter comes the larva crawls out and goes into the earth to
undergo its transformation.
