From the derma ntotcn Telegraph. AGRICULTURAL READING. If a roan has but a single acre of land, a garden or even a cow. and can raise a single dollar, he cannot put it to a better use than to subscribe for an agricultural newspaper. Next to the Bible, such a work ought to be in the hands of every farmer. No man in his senses ought to reject useful information rel ative to the culture of the soil, if offered by one ia the smallest degree competent to the task; and how much greater his advantage when the counsel and experience of practical men from all parts of the country are thrown together in an agricultural newspaper, and laid before k.im. He there has the wisdom of a ''multitude of counsellors,' and cifP listen to their interesting deliberations, and pf'-fit by them if he will. There are, however, ikon who have an honest conviction against whfit- they call "hook farming," simply because they .mppose it consist: of mere theory. arid hence reject nil reading matter orr be subject, as being of that character, while others who have proved their practical utility,—because they combine and illustrate the experience of practical j inen, —showing what has actually Veen done. , rto CM "liai V*jjPw Lr -W J- Among the best and most intelligent for mers in the land art always found the patrons of agricultural newspapers. Go where you will, through the best forming districts of the State, where the land is in the highest state of cultivation, and where the domestic econ otny is all regulated in perfect order, and you will iuvariably find agricultural papers there: but they are seldom met with where Universal neglect and ignorance prevaiL Now, this is not theory, these remarks are not based upon interest or mere imagination, but are £he results of actual experience and observation. There is no subject, whether religious, political or -vrmroercial. that inter ests the attention of men, which absotately admits of a greater improvement or a more bouhdlea? variety than the cultivation of the •oik Vast improvements are in progress and will yet be made to so almost infinite ex tent. The agriculturist'of the present day is only in the infancy of his batter plans: the •lumbering energies of the farmer are dik-ng and agriculture "is unmantling some of the brightest features of her hidden glory." Not only do different systems prevail in different countries, but in different portions of the sttme country: in some they are dicta ted by peculiarity m soil and climate, while in others they have arisen out ofloeal habit, or they spring from improvements which have not been generally disseminated, and even in the rudest districts there may be some things that merit our attention. Now, it must be evident that some of these systems hurst be preferable to others, and that no man can determine which is best with out bring acquainted with alb. nc? can a for mer be said to be completely master of his business until he has attained that knowlocM*.- And how can he more readily or better at tain it than when these different systems and improvements are presented to him in the pages of an agricultural journal? It is not sufficient that he already gets what he consid ers a fair return for his capital and industry, if by other modes of culture he can obtain more. He may be satisfied with his present yield of crops, taking his neighbors as a stand ard, but if by any other method he can grow five bushels more to the acre, it is certainly to his interest and is his duty to adopt it wheth er it i* "book-larming" or not. GATHERING AND KEEPING FRUIT. It is becoming a well understood principle that all pears are improved by being gathered before fully ripe. Some should approach nearer maturity than others. But early ap ples should be fully ripe, as a general rule, before gathering. Late fall and early winter apples Ehould not be eatable when picked, and all the late winter varieties should be gathered when too hard to yield to the pres sure of the thumb, and always before heavy fall frosts. A dry time should be selected, if possible. There will be a few specimens not yet mature, but you can afford to throw them out to Bave the best and the main crop. When a good keeping variety begins to drop freely from the tree, as is sometimes the case, se cure the balance of the crop that remains on the tree as soon as possible; but they should not be mixed with those on the ground—not one should be saved with those picked. Windfalls will not keep—for, in addition to the injury sustained from the fall, they be come heated by lying upon the ground expos ed to the sun and hot air, and the ripening procesii already commenced is hastening to rapid decay. No matter how het the weather is, an ap ple is always cool while upon the tree, and in that condition should be taken care of, if we would have it keep in its most perfect condi tion for the full development of all the deli cious juices with which it is so abundantly supplied. How to obtain it in that condition will be my purpose now to show. We have seen that it must be carefully gathered before h is too ripe, as it is commonly termed; but I say before it is ripe, for when it is ripe it is fit t eat, and that should certainly not be the case with winter apples when gathered. We have also seen that heat hastens the ripening process, and that cold retards it. Apples should therefore, be kept cool, bareiy so as not to freeze. A minimum tempera ture of thirly-four degrees is probably about right, with as little fluctuation as possible. It is not for the purpose of assuming to know more than the most of you about the best metned of keeping apples that I give the subject so largo a space in this address, but it is to give it more prominence iu our delib erations than it has heretofore had. 1 re gard it as one of the points very much over looked in all meetings of this kind. Whether we regard the ripening process as a vital or a chemical actios, it is quite sure that it should go on gradual and unchecked until all the good qualities arc fully develop ed, and when the highest point of excellence is attained, then the fruit should he used. It is never so good as when just fully ripe: but is frequently eatable for a long time. Some varieties become dry and mealy, some tough and leathery. Others, by being kept very cool, will frequently remain in a very good condition for a long time, or by the use of artificial means may be kept for an almost in definite period. I hold that the ripening process, once com menced, goes on, no matter how cold, if frost is not present; slowly, perhaps, but uninter ruptedly, until full maturity. Hence, the im portance of a cool cellar, which should al ways be dry and dark. It should be frequent- !>• aired, when the outside temperature will, allow of it. Some varieties are ir.ecb more sensitive to tbrir treatment thai other*. The * Wincsap for instance, which hse a thicV skin, | maybe abused a great deal in handling.and but indifferently cared for in the cellar, and yet it wilf keep prettywell: that is, it will'rot but little; but, if kept dose and warm, it i* subject to a fungus, that renders it scarcely tolerable to eat, Bat if it : kept cool and j ( drv, all its best qualities are retained to the lost. It is also one of the varieties that does best kept on open shelves. Ihe Belmont, on the other hand, which I regard as one of the best and most profitable apple 3 on-this table, is very impatient of bad treatment. Its skin is smooth and tbin, and flesh of delicate tex- | tare. If roughly handled and kept in a w&rm room it soon decays. If carefully handfed ' and kept in a cool place it keeps with very little waste till April or May. Indeed, it is, with me, under such treatment, one of the the very best of keepers. — [Mr. V elson, Pica ideHt of the Indium Horticultural Society. f} niTISfl PERIOD ICAXS. > PREMIUMS TO NEW SUBSCRIBERS !

TUe (1 rover and Baker Elastic-Stitch sewing Machines arc superior to all others for the follow ing reasons : 1. 1 hey sew direct from the tpooh, tnd require no rewinding of thread. 2. They arc more easily understood and used, and less liable to derangement than other ma chines. 3. They are capablo of executing perfectly, without change of adjustment, a much greater variety of work than other machines. 4. The stitch made by theso machines is much more firm, elastic, an-1 durable, especially upon articles which require to be washed and ironed, than any other stitch. 5. This stitch, owing to the manner in which •he under thread is inwrought, is much the most plump and beautiful in us-, and retains this pluinpne - and beauty even upon articles frequent ly washed and ironed until they are worn out. 6. The structure of tho seam is such that, though it be cut or broken at intervals of only a few stitches, it will neither open, run, or ravel, but remains firm and durable. 7. Unlike other machines, these fasten both ends of the seam by their own operation. 8. With these machines, while silk is used upon the right or face side of the scam, cotton may be used upon the other side without lessening the strength or durability of the seam. This can be done on other machine, and is a great saving upon all articles stitched or made up with silk. These machines, in addition to their superior merits as instruments for sewing, by a change of adjustment, easily learned and practiced, execute the most beautiful and permanent embroidery and ornamental work.
