The hay crop ha* been fully an average one in thi« town and got In a •hort time and in flrst-chss condition. V. V. Kmioiit. I.kwiatov—July ha* been remarkably favorable for harvestlug the hay crop, aud while the quantity will not reach an average for the past ten years, there Is more than last year.

This month U an excellent time to clear up the waste place* on the farm, i-ut the bu*lies, to clear all obstructions lo the mower aud rake, and the best time to cut dowu trees for fuel.

Aa to the apple crop, tto pros|iect Is there will be a very light crop In this vicinity, especially tto Baklwlna, which will to almost a total failure. There are no particular Insects that 1 have noticed. Toe potato beetle aa troubleaome aa ever. Tto potato crop muat to very light, owing to drouth. Features are very much dried up. We have had but little rain alnoa the l&th of June. We then had a thunder shower of two houra' duration which made a large freshet on Cold Klver. I think there are but very faw farmers In thla vicinity who lay any plana to meet a dry aeaaon Ilka thla ex cept a resort to their aweet corn fodder when harvested. Aa to poultry, there la but very little ralaed In thla vicinity. 1 omitted to mention the hay crop which baa been harveated In excellent condi tion with the average amount and an perlor qu ■ llty. O. II. I>AT. East Hikam.—Question six deserves mora than i passing nolle*. It li la such times a* these, with the paaturw •11 brown and bare, that we reaiiie the | Importance of the forage crop, and we are obliged to answer the question: wry , few, If aor, are prepared to tide orer the drought without feeding hay and1 grain. Cows about here are shrinking badly, when a good, liberal ration of green fodder, of aoine kind, would hold them up to the work. When we alt down bealdeour beat cow and swear because she don't give down her milk, she looks arouud at us reproachfully, as much as to say: "For God's sake, maul do you expect us to fight flies, live on podgern aud bulrushes, and give a good mess of mllkf' We don't venture any reply, but resolve that we wont get caught In this shape next year; a prom ise that Is like pie-crust—made to be broken. Keep this thing before the people at your meetings all over the state. A. K. P. Uoooix*. Kast Kkyebi'ko.—The grasshopper*, though not a new pest, are much mora numerou* than they have been for many years owing no doubt to the long con tinued dry weather. The potato beetles came later In the season and less In num ber than In previous years; If they.con tinue to diminish In this way, In a few years we mar be rid of them. Potatoes came up well and the tops have a good growth, what the yield may be we can not tell. Feed In pastures Is short and drv. Nearly all plaut fodder corn to help out the pastures until sweet corn matures. Farmers have found that an Inferior pound of butter will not bring a superior price, consequently are taking mora palna In getting better breeda ol cows, feeding better, having better facu lties for raising cream and making the butter. It costs no mora to make a pouud of butter worth thirty cents than a pound which will bring but ten. nut ter the past vear has ruled a little higher tluu In previous years. All things con sidered. we are satUfled that a well managed dairy is the l>eft hold that farmers can have. J. J. PiKK. hlxriKLlt.—The season has been par ticularly favorable for having, but too dry for cultivated crops. Coru U doing well despite the long continued drv weather. Potatoes are In good condi tion oo Intervale, but on light soil the crop will be seriously affected. Oats are suffering on dry soil. Paatura feed has been exceptionally good, but the dry weather hss caused the cows to les *en the flow of milk considerably. Ap* Sles have fallen of late very badly, [any farmers have harvested their hay prop, while those cutting larger quanti ties have harvested one-half or two thlrda of their crop. Indications point lo a light yield of grain and |M>tatocs, If there Is not ralu very soou. Kl ukni: I.. Tohuky. CrUMKULAMi. Ghat.—Nova wonl on the "glut" ijUMtlon. Ilow many time* have we lieeu tokl to go Into i-ertaln specialties because there was no dauger of glutting Ihriimrki t; also Into the poultry busl imu, U the advice, because you can never supply the demand; also into auajtll fruit* l« the advice, because you ran never glut the market. Yet this very year eggs went do* u from forty to slxteeu cents, almost as In a day, and anv quautlty of straw brrrle* hive been M>(d for four rent* a box. llut what of It? Shall we therefore "beg In harvest and have nothing"? No. Away with Ihla whole glut business aa an Induce ment to rflW't and accept the true ver sion. via., that wherever throughout the whole realm of hunuu Industry there la a demand, there also will be a supply. To argue otherwise la to argue that tuere are wauts which cannot be supplied, which Is not true and never has been true since the world began. Notwithstanding the glutted markets, | we have sold this year eggs for forty i*uts a doien, chickens for thirty-flve cents a pound, strawberries for twelve and one-half cents a box, and hooey for twenty cents a pound. The chickens were hatched In February. There U no more difficulty In having chickens hatch* m! In February than in April except • little more care. 1 have said In answer to your eleventh question that 1 think that hens, uroperly cared for, will re turn two dollars for oue. One flock of flfty or sixty have demonstrated this for the whole past year. But mark you, ftruprrif rami/or, this Is the whole of U. Wakrkx II. Vinton. KKANKL1N.

He had given Edward hla prsa ent occupation because of favora received manj jeara ago from the young man's father, when Htanly greatly needed a friend, and for this he had felt compelled to offer the position to hla son. if but to satisfy his own conscience. "Then," he thought, "if he prorea capable and bon net I will help him to make his own way Into a good business.

His father was simply a moral man, making no pretense to any reli gious motive for being, aa he truly was, an example of sterling honesty and un flinching integrity. His own conscience bore witness that he never oppressed the poor; that the widow and fatherless could bring no chargea against him, oven in thought, for fraud or extortion. When Mr. Stanly gave Edward a chance to work, he considered all in debtedness for kindness received from his parents aa fully canceled. He liked the young man, and after some months' acquaintance came as near loving him as was prudent in a business man.

When after four >ears of faithful toil Edward New ton had made ldmaelf ao necessary to the Interns ta of hia employer that it became but aelflah policy to offer him a partner ahlp in the establishment, Mr. Stanly wm at heart really rejoiced that hia rouain'a aon had proved ao worthy and hail eo faithfully earned the promotion. Wlu-u received into thia partnership, Mr. Newton's next atep wm to aecure a home 4>r himaelf. The idee of hia mar* riage waa diataateful to Mr. Stanly. "Still," aaid he, "my rule haa alwayi been to leave each man to act and judge for himaelf and then abide the conse quences." In hia heart he whispered] "Fooliah boy, when he waa doing ao well too! lie will loee all he baa gained now. Had I known of tliia marriage, I should have waited awhile before receiving him aa a partner. But I a hall watch more closely than ever, and if I detect one falae move I muat drop him. Shall be really aorry to do it, though. I muat be growing childish. Edward haa crept nearer my heart than I thought any one could," and the old merchant'a face ahowed a ten derer feeling tluw it had worn siuoe childhood. But when Mr. Newton wedded Lncy Dale and presented Iter to Mr. Stably her gentle, womanly manners quite won the hard old man's heart, and not many years passed before he urged thom to tako up their alfedo with him, that be might at last realise some of the truo joys of hums. A few years under Lucv's pure influence added to her husband's truly Christian but unobtrusive teaching, by God'a blessing, softened the worldly hc:irit and when, "like a shock of coru fully ripe," Mr. Stanly waa gathered to his fathers hit large possessions, after some uffcctiouate legncies, were divided among judicious charities and promised long to be Mossing* to many. Mr. Stanly left no near kindred, and tbe elegant dwelling and grounds, where be had ]«ased a lonely life till his young friends brought joy and sunshine into It, he bequeathed to Mrs. Newton, "a thank offering for the love aho had aliown him and tlie good ahe had done him."

Lillian, the eldest, her mother's sum mer ohild, wss born when the birds and roeee of June filled the air with melody and fragrance. Tall and graoeful at S4. she has ber mother's figure, but with more quiet and repoee of manner. Hei dark golden brown hair is twined in henry braids around her bead, requiring no other ornament than the single roee bud George has jut plaoed there. The twine—Roee and Ralph—next younger than George, are alwajs the first to attract attention on entering a room when the family are together. ▲ more lovely tableau oould hardly be found. Imagine a bright, petite figure, with eyes that would be black were they not erer too full of hope and joy, the perfection of a woman's head adorned with woman's crowning glory—a mag nificent mantle of hair, the oolor of which, whether let down, as wss Ralph's teasing custom, to ripple in beautiful wares to hsr tiny feet, or bound in oarelses grace about her head, wae made by any changing light or pod* tion equally unoertain as her eyes. 80 far this may carry an outline for fancy to fill, hot farthsr we may not ren tal*.

At 15, in form and features, the brother and tar were singularly alike, but now, whsn nearly 10, Ralph's figure had developed Into mere manly beauty and to seed high abore his sielsr.

In person ho had eyes of more striking beauty than those already introduced, but theie were strange glancee at times, recalling often some of the peculiar traits of all Lillian's senna repose, George's outspoken, decided tones, Ralph's impet uousity when aroused, aa well as Rose's glad, merry laugh, were all manifest or mingled in his various moods. Bnt there were a thoughtful seriousness, a deep fount of Underset lore and entire unself ishness, that were peculiar to himself and made him, the youngest, the especial darling of all. In each heart he was cherished as the one whoee talents would some day be the glory of their name. When they first spoke of the change in prospect, they had cheerfully accepted the cousequent labor and self denial be fore them, but in each heart was the settled purpose that Alfred's opportuni ties for developing all the powers with which he seemed endowed should not be in any respect curtailed. Eustace Dunbar had for years been one of the household. He was the son of a dear friend of Mr. Newton's, and at bis father's death bad been committed to his kind care. Guardian of the son and ex ecutor of his father's eetate, Mr. Newton bad made hia home a happy ono for the young orphan when at an early age be was sent to him from India.

AN INCIDENT IN REAL LIFE. If iw PMfltCu Nik* TIm«m1?m by Ttolr Talk. I stepped upon a Broadway car at the lower end of Broadway and rode In It along that faat changing highway as far as Nineteenth street. At the corner of Chamber* nt n-« t and Broadway a man of perhaps 40 and a woman not more than 83, he carrying a lingo port man teen, • collection of wrape, two umbrellas and a cane, the leading by the hand a 8-year-old baby, joined the partially crowded patronage already seated. A clond of dissatisfaction rested npon the brow of the man. The frown of an al ready born rninpns fast nnfoldlng into fruitage mado forbidding and ngly the comely countenance of the woman. Her nervous disposition made Itself known to every one In the car and particularly to the little boy as she yauked the child by the arm Into the seat beside her. Aft er a moment's silence the woman said, "Yon might have known how it would be," to which ho responded, "Well, I might have known, bnt I didn't, so shut npr Another p-unenger entered the car at that moment and stumbled over the port mantean. "Ilang that bag!" said tho man. "If I were you, I would keep my cuss ing for home," said the woman, and so on and en and on. The ensuing half hour was passed by theee two iu a strain which would have douo credit to the most pronoumvd hag in the dirtirat quarters of a third rate flali market. The little boy, tliank heav en, went fast asleep. Much of the con versation between the two was inaudible save to tlie three or four people in imme diate contact with them, but every once in awhile tho shrill voioe of the female bird soared Into npper altitudes of dell ance, uiakiug discordant the entire at mosphere and attracting the attuutiou of nearly a acore of people. They got out at the coroor of Fourteenth street and Broadway and entered a cafe—he sullen, ejaculntory and profane; she keyed up to O in alt, deflant, shrewish, chock full of soold. Well, wnai or ur it is not sucn a very uncommon thing for man and wit*—for lovers even, for daily intercourse!*— to qnnrrel and to rent terpentlike blue* from the nuruly mem ban that wag with curious motion aa they distill poison from bitter and jaundiced hearts. It is not so uncommon, I admit, bat isn't it always suggestive? I thought aa I looked at the tnau, with a good, square, clean forehead, well marked brows, a clear skin and an air of self poise, that he was hardly doing himself justice. Save that his hands were rude and rough and that bis boots were country made, that bis portmanteau was considerably older than the ordinary hill and that bis um* brella looked as though it might hare been utilised by Mrs. Noah when she came from the ark, he waa a man of the world in app-aranco. And the woman had a pretty face. Her hair was parted in the middle, as women's hair should be, and revealed in ita old fashioned brushing a tiny ear, not so small aa to indicate utter selfishness, but, on the other hand, not so large as to rival a genuine Saddle Rock oyster in it* vulgarity. Her eyse were brown, soft at that; her teeth were regular and '•lean; her dress waa neat, bar hands and feet well clad, and'an occasion>1 pat upon the boy's shoulder aa he lay nee tllng against her, fast asleep, indicated the femlnino nature, the affectionate ten derness of the mother. Listening under the drcumatanoes waa not rudeness. It waa compulsory. I sat next the boy. Some of his banana skin ornaments my coataleere until this mo meat A* bo lay semicolled up I noticed the copper nails in the bottom of his shoe and the copper toe upon the aame. The group waa easily and perfectly withir my riaion. As word after word fell red hot I thought: How odd this all efould bare sounded in that ahall-Uke ear fire years ago.

OBSERVATIONS GATHERED PROM ECUPSES OP THE SUN. MkflMMt riwUfnyhiif Ik* Cih—mI—DmrUf IW Mm My Wm IIMm Whan eclipsed, the inaj»t<o king of day condeecendingly permits the stroo tore of his mysterious appendages to be photographed and analysed spsotrosoop ioally. Never in the whole history of aatronomy baa a finer opportunity to each work been afforded and so ■kill' folly and oompletely Improved by ea* tronomers as that of the reosnt ecllpee. The fall hsrvest of their observations oeems to promise some startling revela tions. 1L Flammarion, the Prsoch astrono mer, after reeding the Chilian cable die patches announcing Professor Picker ing*e reoent ecllpee obssrvatlona, Is re ported to have said: "They confirm the theory that the son is surrounded by a luminous atmosphere to a distance equal to one-eighth of the son's diameter." Scarcely a quarter of a ceqftury ago many astronomers questioned whether the so lar atmosphere had any marked exten sion, and even doubted whether the co rona waa a aolar appendage at all. Bui in the light of the late eclipse it is not astonishing that an astronomer sxprsssas the opinion that the sun's atmosphere extends outward more than 100,000 miles. The eruptive forces of the sun must be enormous indeed to eject the matter comjioaing the flaming prominences not infrequently observed 40,000 miles broad, with an uprush of 223 miles a second and attaining occasionally an elevation of 400.000 miles. All prominenoes, Zollnsr end Reeplghi have shown, are originally phenomena of eruption, preceded by rec tilinear jets, either vertical or oblique, ascending to great heights and then seen falling back again toward the sun like thejeteof our fountains. The eruptive prominencee are, ss Professor Young Bays, "generally associated with active snn spots." Since during the late ecllpee theae prominences were conspicuous in connection with an unusually brilliant and extended corona and great apotted ness, the before seemingly established law that the corona's sixe and luminosi ty are in direct proportion to the son's apot producing activity is strikingly cor roborated. Professor Scliaeberle cabled from Chill tlui hit eclipse obsorvations confirm hi« mechanical theory of the corona, which regard* this vast appendage as composed of streams of matter ejected with Initial velocities of 850 miles a second from the ■nn by forces which ars most active near the sun spot cones. Indications of inch eruptive action have been often observed in the higher regions of the prominences. A further confirmation of this theory is that the corona in outline resembled that which Professor Bchaeberle predicted *01110 months ago. As far back aa ths eclipse of 1870 Mr. Brothers noted that "prominences were most nnmsroos 00 the side of the sun where the corona was brightest," an evidsnce that ths coronal matter is not leas than that of the promi nences ejected from the sun. Mr. Proctor, discussing the observa tions of that eclipse, concluded; "I con ceive we have now clear evidence of a form of action—bat whether eruptive, electrical or repulsivs is not yet obvious —exerted outward to enormous distances by the sun and with maximum enery over the spot tones, but local, variable and probably intermittent" It will bo seen, Mien, that hTorsssor Schaeberle's theory, though by no meat* established, accord* with old observa tions. No other explanation of the corona has been offered un that which attrib ute* it to reflection from myriad* of In* candescent meteor* or cosmical dust cir culating aronnd the *nn. But thi* hy pothesis ha* never been supported. If the corona were ohlefly due to meteoric dnat revolving aronnd the ran, we should certainly expect to see it regular, and not a* It generally kppean, gapped, quad rilateral or four rayed, with immense wing* or extension*. There seem*, there fore, to be no other lnferenoe poesible but that which teleecopio scrutiny ha* loug suggested—that the corona 1* orig inated and maintained by counties* ejec tion* israing from beneath and flung through the photosphere by the *un^ vertical or volcanic forces. If the final study of the coronal photo graph* obtained sustain this view, ad* ence will have at least a working hy pothesis for the determination of the cyclical variations of solar heat and the corresponding effects upon terrestrial temperatures and climates. The theory in question obviously opens up a new and fascinating inquiry into the anoma lies of the earth's,seasons which are duo to variations of solar activity. We seem to be thus happily led to the very thres hold of one of the grandest discoveries of modern science, which promisee when developed to yield a rich harvest of pr*c tioal result*. Now that most numerous and psrfsot photographs of all ths principal append sgee of the sun have been secured in Chili and Africa, astronomers should give their best energise to the study of the data. No problem they can now at tack can be of greater interest or im portance to science and the world.—New YorkHarald. OM likk«r.
