His views of the desirableness of farm villages, in place of the iso- liition which makes the farm so hateful to the young and so bar ren to the old) are not new to those who are familiar with this department of the magazine ; but tliev are very important, and will need to be published many times again. Tliere are, probably, a thou sand villages in this country tliat will, tills year, form village im provements societies,moved there to by these papers and by the article that suggested them ; and the fact seems to us one of the most encouraging and delightful in the social and domestic history of the time. Thie local organiza tion of taste, the building up of local rivalries in matters of order and beauty, tlie doing of any wise thing for making attractive the smaller centers of population —these all are so intimately con nected with popular development and elevation and content, that thev might well engtige the work come together, as neighbors and friends, to work alike for them selves and one another.—Scrib ner, for May. DID IX PAY ! Thirty-four years ago two farm ers settled side by side, with about equal advantages as to soil, markets, etc. One of them sub scribed for the American Agricul turist, and occasionly bought a book or two about his business, the whole costing him only $6 a 3’ear. His boys read and thought about their work, became inter ested in and respected it, and were happy in their toil, because they had something to think about. They grew up intelligent, and set tled as good prosperous farmers, resiiected and influential.... The other farmer “couldn’t afford pa lters and books (ho could afford 0 cents a day, or S20 a year, for tobacco, beer, etc.) His boys worked sullenly by day, and “■skylarked” at night; they des pised and hated their work, which for tliem was only exercising .

After all, the thing to be done ought not to be difficult. Ameri cans are usually very much at home in matters of organization. The wisest httads are easily got together, and when they really are the wisest lieads, they easily work together. The first tiling wanted is wisdom and taste. The second on the list is money—all of it that can be obtained, because there is always use for more than can be had. With these prere quisites in hand, or at hand, so many things will present them selves to be done that it will be hard to determine what shall have the first attention. It should not be difficult to decide that the first interests to be consulted are those of health and comfort. If there are any nuisances—any plied. When old enough to es cape parental restraint, they quit the farm, one for this and another for that, and none of them ever amounted to anything. Six dol lars a year, or even $1.50 a year, would have made a wonderful difference—would have changed their whole course ol life.

We have received letters from every part of the country wish- ino- for information—the latest from llm interior of Texas. Un happily, tlie thing most wanted IS what we know least about, viz., modes of organization and oper- atiott. tf, in those New England towns that now liave societies in successful operation, intelligent reports and histories could be prepared and published, they would be of incalculable benefit to the country. Wliat the begin ners want—literally by thousands —is to know just how to do it, or just how somebody else has done ih . , The articles which Colonel Waring ha.» written for this mag azine, and which, are now in course of publication, are design ed as helps^suggeslions-^imspir- atio'ns. So intelligent and ^prac tical a man as Colonel W aring cannot write uninterestinglv upon atopic so harmonious with^his tastes and pursuits as tins. 'The farming and village populations of the country will fiud much of interest and profit in his papers. bo put out of the way at once. Then every village wants good sidewalks. ’ Most American villa ges are quagmires in the spring and autumn, in which a man can never walk with dry feet and clean trow-sers,. and in wliicli a lady cannot walk at all. Exactly at- this point, and on this im provement, is where the township and the village come to a dead lialt. The farmers who occupy the outlying agricultural acreage of a township are not willing_ to pay a dollar in taxes for the im provement of the village. I hey mav be willing to do something for” the road, but for the side walk, nothing. On the sidewalk, then, will come the first expen sive work of a village improve- raent societ}’. To gain time, tree-planting should go along with this. After tins come parks, fences, fountains — no end of things. The operations of a society of this kind will secure an indirect result of good almost commen surate witn that which is direct. It becomes an educator, an in spiration, a motive, a reproof, an example. A slatternly door-yard, fronting n new and well-graded sidewalk, is a discord that will probably be discovered and cor rected by its- owner. Such a movement calls universal atten tion to individual defects, and inspire a common pride. Beyond this, it developes a catholic, pub lic spirit. On the improvement of the village all can unite, and in this very delightful enterprise, spreading from village to village until it becomes national, _ men can forget that they are partisans, either in politics or religion, amj Tutionize the farming metliods of a neigliborhood and make everv acre in the vicinity worth a higlier price. We have known some such cases. Where it is shown by practical experience that underdarring thorough manuring and cultivation, im proved stock and implements will pavq there is no lack of farmers who will gladly imitate these improvements. The trouble has been that, seem in anything recommended in the paper is not conclusive evidence to most farmers tliiit it is even practical-— much less that it will pay them to adopt it. When the thing is tested in there own neighbor hoods and proved a success there is no difficulty lu securing imi- ators. If one man in a town grows on ions, broom corn, castor beans, hops, or some other unusual crop, and makes a success of it, one by one bis neighbors take up similar methods, and the old ruts are ef fectually broken. Go through the country and you will find, if any Unusual industry has succeed ed, a number of farmers has engaged in it. This is notably tru'e of hop-growing, dairy, apple, pear or peacli culture, or the rear ing and breeding of improved stock. Sometimes these diversi fied industries are favored by pe The following persons have paid for the OrEhaks Friend for one year: Geo. Allen, J. W. JVatsoii, Pinkney Meadows, Je.ssie B. Scarbovongli, M.

The Feemanknt Exhibition.— The company organized to insti tute a - permanent exhibition in the Main Centennial Building at Philadelphia, is making progress. The formal opening will take place May 10th. when it is expected that President Hayes will be present. The work of preparing the exhibition is so far advanced as to leave no doubt that it will be completed by the opening day, and it is insisted that the Main Building will then possess B'retiter attraction for visitors than it had during the Centennial. This building, it will be rcollected, covers twenty-one acres—^as uiiich space as was occupied by the first Worlds Fair in London. The display, although mainly American, will comprise exhibits from most of the nations which were represen ted at the Centennial. Brazil and Spain will make industrial and agricultural exhibits, and the following—named countries, gen eral ones : Austria, Belgium, Chi na, Canada, Denmark, Egypt, Great Britain, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Norway, Orange, Free State, Portugal, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Tunis, and Venezuela.
