AGRICULTU RAJ.
From The Genesee Farmer.
VERMONT OPINIONS.

Al the Cattle Show held at Caledonia,
Vermont, on the 9th September, Mr..
Henry Stevens delivered an address, which,
varying from the usual routine OF as ricul-
tural addresses, enters upon topics not less
vitality important TO the prosperity of an
agricultural people than those which re-
late solely TO the production of crops or
the amelioration of the soil. The subject
selected by Mr.. Stevens is the wooden
trade Of the country and that state, the
qnalhy grown, and the balance of trade
IN these matters. We have room only
for summary Of the writer's facts ana
leasonings.
1t appears from the report ofthe Secre-
tary of the Treasury that during the year
ending on the 3Oth of September, 1886,
the wool aud wooden goods imported into
the United States amounted to S24,579,-
s35. To this sum Mr.. Stevens adds sixty
five per cent. for duties insurance, freight,
tonnage, importers and retailers profits,
which would amount to Sl5.976,925;-
making a total cost TO the inhabitants Of
the country Of S4O.556,68l, for single
year. AT fifteen millions of inhabitants,
the sum for each individual in the coun-
srr would be 270 cents; and as there are
80O,0 900 people in Vermont, Mr.. Stevens
arrives at the legitimate conclusion that
that state pays to foreigners for woolens
about SIC, 1000 dollars. This probably is
not overrated, since it is clear the inhabit-
ants Of the northern states must of neces-
sity use a greater proportion of wooden
than those of the south.
MIR. Stevens then goes on TO show how
this debt can be paid, or rather how il
..musf b paid. BY The general list of the
state for 1887. it appears that Vernon
had 1 ,IG6. 234 sheep, while in 1886 there
were bat one million. Allowing each
sheep to produce two ard half pounds
there would be 2,9l5,585 pounds of wool
which at 33 cents per pound, would
amount 10 1862, l43, which would pa,
the foreign debt, and leave 1872, l43 dol
lars to divide among the wool-growers
AS Mr.. Stevens rightly supposes. such
result would be anything but satisfactory
He proposes secondly that the Vermont
ers should let these foreigners have on
fifth Of all the neat cattle Of two years oil
and older The general list Of 1873
shoefs that OF such cattle there were in tn
state 90 ,02l. and that admitting cne-fifi
of these were beef and fit for market, tn
vnnnber chat could be sold at $40 hea
AZ home would come TO SS76.0sO. payin
the debt and leaving about 10000 dollar
for division among the cattle growers :
THIS too TO supposes would be har
case. and pfsposes tolurn out all the hor.
Is, entered inAhe state lists as worth lie.
lhan e25, amounting g 10000 in nun
Vermont telegraph. [volume] (Brandon [Vt.]) 1828-1843, 1839-02-13

Der, and OF course at $50 piece, paying
off about 100000 of the wooden debt
(lf the Vermonters, or the New Workers,
could dispose of their Ole horses in this
way, they would find themselves 100000
dollars better off at the end of the year)
MIR. Stevens then shows what the state
pays to the manufacturers of the other
states. or other countries, for manufactur-
ing the wool, or the same amount of wool
that is raised in Vermont, and calculates it
at 8 l,620,000; and that thus every citi-
zen of the state pays S. tor manutactur-
ing his wooden Cloth for one year. Mr..
Stevens says:
More than five dollars are wanted
from every individual in the state to pay
for his clothing; can it be paid? The
whole bank stock of this state actually
paid in will no: do it. If you turn out
one-ffth of your cattle at 20 dollars a
bead, amounting to S876,O8O, and 10000
old horses for 100000, there will still
remain 344.O00 due to make up the sum
Of 81 100000 fer manufacturing, and this
too every year. Can you live and pros
per under this system ?-can you furnish
the raw material in exchange for the man.
ufoctured goods? No, you never can
All your banks may discount five, ten,
twenty, for every dollar of coin they car
keep in their vaults. and we must still
continue TO be miserable and indebted
people"
The conclusion at which Mr. Steven:
arrives, and in our opinion il is a sounc
one, is that the citizens of that state, stu
ated as they are in regard to the profitable
production of grain, should engage il
manufacturing, at least to such an exten
as TO work up the raw material produced
in the state. That this may probably b.
done, he shows clearly from the nature O
the population, the low rate of living. an,
little expense for water~power in the int
rior Of the country. This he illustrate
by the prices paid at Lowell, Waltham
or Pawtucket, for water privileges.
In some of Mr.. Stevens protective nc
tons, and opinions of Legislative duties
we do not fully concur, still they are ure
ed with great candor and tairness, an
with the most laudable intentions.

ROvvtO prevent Oxen hauling apart.
Some oxen have a very vexatlous trick
of hauling apart, when IN the yoke. Mr..
Francis Wingate, an experienced farmer
at Hallowell, informs US that he prevented
this in yoke of oxen, by placing small
rope or line codline for instance, across
from the horn of one OK to the horn of the
other, thus bringing their heads in some
degree together. The line should be tied
'around the tips, which, il they have balls
on, may be kept there very easily. and
should be proporioned in length to the
length of the yoke
II this simple remedy will obsiate the
trouble in all oxen addicted to this trick
it is worth knowing. If the rope be tied
around the tips instead ofaround the roots
of the horns, they will have less purchase
upon it, and smaller cord will answer
the rpoSe.-Maine Farmer.

power of creating his own food, which
are 70 te sustained by provision exactly
adapted to his organization and taste, not
one is sent away empty. ;,
This is great and affecting fact, and
must awaken sentiments of the deepest
alteration towards that infinite agent by
whose power the wants of all are suppl
ed. 1t does uot in any degree lessen the
wonderful nature of this fact that animals
prey upon each other. The actual sup
ply of the means of subsistence is the
same great fact under whatever form this
supply is furnished.
The system of mutual prey, which pre-
walls every where has been often referred
to as blemish in the divine creation, and
an argument against the goodness OF God
There is no reason to suppose that the IN
ferior animals suffer at all from the appre-
hension of death and they have only
sufficient caution or fear to stimulate them
to sufficient exertion to provide for their
subsistence and to avoid perils by which
life might be prematurely cut of. Now
under these circumstances does there exist
any objection to the food, by which life is
to be sustained being its, Ii endowed with
anima! life. Three purposes among 9TH
ers seem to be accomplished by this ar
rangement. The first is that by this i'm
mense extension of animal life the capac-
ity for enjoyment and the actual amount
of en- oyment is proportionabI extended,
| The second is, that provision is thus made
in the regular propagation of life for a
constant and unfailing supply of the means
OF subsistence to the vast amount of be-
| ings, who are to be sustained. The third
that the food is supplied and preserved il
a fresh and healthy form whereas the
substances Of which it is composed, if no
endowed with animal life, would either
not have been elaborated from nature a
they now are; or, if furnished, would i'm

that we may find some encouragement for
further and more energetic prosecution
of our enterprise.
Previous 10 our organization, a society
mad been formed in this town, and had
been standing for several years, founded
on the principle of abstinence from the
use of distilled spirits only. Although
we freely accord to that society all the
praise to which it is enlitled--as having
been the means of drawing the attention
of the public to the deleterious effects o.
alcohol, and TO considerable extent, O
-curtailng lis use, yet it must be acknowl.
edged that it lacked the essential principle
of vitality. and it has consequently sunk
into oblivion.
As a proof of the insufficiency of the
old pledge, if indeed any were wanting a
