The FAST bINE.---it is known ut
home, il not abroad that Third street,
in this considerable city is fast place.
The reasons why are diverse. IL is
not simply because fast people live in
it, because fast people can be found
all over the mile square, from Catfish
to Spanish Town-from Goose Ilol-
low even as far out as P6te's Alley
and Stag Hall. Third street is fast
because it presents an inviting dead
level Of mile, and because our clever
friend in Main street, Capt. Tunnord
has introduced to the attention OF
Red Stickers all the new tangled, two
and four wheeled spider built traps in
which fast people at the North and The
West 20, until they run down or run
on a snag-or run against one anoth-
or, and conclude everlasjugIy the
race Of earth. They have been put
ting down gas pipes in Third street
recently and in doing this, they have
been tearing up the earth in straight
lines and the straight lines run into
each other at right angles-forming
obtoug squares and triangles.
On Saturday evening last we no
ticed our fast friend, f., who knows
thing or two about fast horses and
fast machines going down the street
with fast nag fastened to the same
His combinations were spread out on
either side Of the machine at the an
glc marked by fashion-he held tho
strings "taught" in his left hand, and
with his right ever and anon took six
inches from his mouth of tho divine
weed from the Antilles in order TO
blow away smoke and steam from the
furnace. The upper part Of bis body
was slightly bent forward to give The
machine additional impetus aud Oh
his head he had one of the close fit
ting caps which people who go fast
and take the risk on their own shout
ders, generally wear. The machine
itself was bright with fresh varnish
and threw the light about rccklessIy,
as il passed down the street and dis
appeared. Presently we heard the
dogs bark; the children cry and wo-
men scream; whilst gents with their
coat tails standing out straight were
making tracks to be out Of harms
way. We thrust our head further
out the window and saw the sleek
fast trotting animal making tracks
back where he came from at 1882
rate; parts of the clay-colored ma
chine few up and parts few down;
whilst other parts were picked up by
small boys on the lightning line. At
the corner Of Florida street the body
Of the fast trap lay, the otter side up,
the wheels danced round until they
seemed spokeless, and crowd gath
cred about to witness the motion -
After full quarters spinning, GER
tain brave gentlemen ventured to ap-
proach--stopped the unspcnt motion,
and set it on its legs again. Where
was our friend, FY He brought up
the rear with single string in his
hnnd-glad to say unhurt We have
been particular in this matter, be-
cause we made prediction just
year ago, that to this complexion
things would come at last. If there
is moral lesson in it, some gentle
man Of leisure will please point it out.

The Cattle Disease.

EDITOR FREEMAN Il wish to say a. few
words relative to the distemper that is com.
manding so large share Of public attention,
and Justly too, at the preset time. The
State Of Massachusetts is tremendously agi
tatod, though in some parts of the State more
than others; rs the disease has ben confined
to certain sections as vet. But it is lear ed
the worst has not yet been seen.
And wien " take into consideration the
popularity Of the disease, and the ultimate
loss to the country, if it is not stayed, not
only the farmer, but all classes, will feel in
directly the effects Of the scourge.
In view of this, then, is it not strange that
men here In Vermont will be so reckless to
to the vital interests OF the community as
to bring cattle from diseased sections up here
INFO Vermont? But Notwithstanding all
the excl ement and intense feeling Of the
farming community, I learn that there are
men, Ct like to have said men-haters y in
Wa hingon ard Lamollc Counties who have
brought cattle from Massachusetts within a
short time
Brother farmers, what shall VIC do about
this matter? Petition the Governor to call
an extra session Of the Legislature, that we
may have laws to guard us against the fear
full malady ? and i'll case this isnot done, take
the matter into our own hands, and not per-
NIT, in a solitary instance, Of cattle being
brought into this Stale by any man-and il
brought here, to dispose Of them immedi-
ately?
Let US be awake to the matter, and re-
member that an ounce Of prevention is worth
pound Of cure. AR.
Fillmore. June Is, 1860.

Hints for the Garden.

l. Frequent hoeing of the ground is nee,
essary; the plants will suffer less from drouth,
and the weeds are also destroyed by this ope-
ration, besides advancing the growth of the
crop. Onions should be thinned out it not
already done. SUGGESTIONS of lettuce may
be sown, in moist, mellow soil. In dry s1il,
they are apt to become bitter next month.
2. Look out for the slug on cherry and
pear trees; when they appear, give them a
good sprinkling of air-slacked lime or I'M
leac Led ashes. Any time in the day will do,
and all the better when the leaves are dry
Some persons recommend dust from the roads
instead of lime or ashes, but in city gardens,
where the foliage is often covered with sand
and dust, the slug abounds. The destroy
ing power of lime and ashes, consists in their
affinity for water; when they come in con-
tact with the Shiny bodies of the slugs, there
is chemical combination, and consequent
destruction of the animal tissues.
3. English gardeners recommend top
dressing asparagus beds, the present month,
with salt aud liquid manure. This atten.
ition secures better crop the following sea-
son. The planting of cabbagos may now be
completed. Also tomatoes. Earth up po-
tatoes. Attend to the inroads of destructive
insects, and take means Tor their cxtirpation.
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1860-06-28
Milking.

The art of milking is not acquired at
once. Children in farm districts should be
taught to milk. They may commence on an
old cow that is soon to become dry. But let
them learn when young--for We are not to
expect that this art is to be practiced by the
foreigners alone who are drifting to our
shores.
Cows that have been wel-bred will be
gentle and kind TO those who approach them
to draw their milk. They well know that a
good mixer gives them relief when their i'd
dors are FULL and need to have the milk
drawn.
The dust, &C., should be brushed off after
the mixer is fairly seated by the side of the
COW. The end Of each teat should then be
moistened with little milk to be drawn from
it before the pail is placed under it. This
makes the milk come easier aud saves giving
any pain to the COW, as we do when the teat
is perfectly dry.
Now as soon as the milk begins to come
freely, draw it out as fast as possible other
wise you fai to get the whole for in few
minutes, if the milk is not drawn out, it flows
back again into the milk ducts and you can
not have it. In short time the COW be
comes dry.
Milk fast and milk clean. Never let two
persons while milking attempt to talk with
each other. Keep still and mind what you
are about, or you come off as bad as the man
who came too late for the cars.
Kind treatment is all important to the
owner. Cove are not to be forced to give
down their milk. When COWS are unruly
from any cause tie them up in the stable in
stead Of chasing them around the yard.

ned that will be valuable A pretty fair
test would be to lay equal portions of each
kind ofhay, side by side, in front of the STAN
choons be ore the cattle are tied up, and on
bringing them to their places, observe wbeth-
er they make selection 1t would be nee
e<sary probably to try this more than once,
and if the preference Of the cattle were uni
form upon one kind Of the hay, We should
feel tolcrab safe in being guided in our
practice by their instincts.
We hope experiments WILDE made and re-
ports sent US that may be published for the
benefit of all.

Summer Pruning Apple Trees.

We have often called attention to this sub
Iject, and are happy to know that the practice
Of pruning trees in the spring, while the sap
is in motion, has been entirely discontinued
by large numbers Of our best farmers. For
the comfort of those who controvert tie
theory of summer pruning, we will say that
We are not acquainted with any living horti-
culturist who is distinguished in his profess
sion, who is the advocate of spring pruning;
nor do we know Of any eminent writer on
the subject, either in this country. or in Eng
land, or France who would recommend the
orchardist to prunc his trees while the sap is
in active motion. No one thing, in our
Judgment, is so certainly destructive to our
apple orchards as to trim them in tho months
of March. April and May and if the season
is warm and an earl y one, they had better
not be touched during the last of February.
At some moment of more leisure we will
collect the authorities which favor summer
pruning, and think they will be sufficient to
settle the matter conclusively in any observ-
ing and unprecedented mind.
These remarks have been suggested by no.
ticing in the Germantown Telegraph the fol-
lowing paragraphs. We have been on the
grounds Of Mr. Freas, the editor of the TEL
egraph, have observed his trees, and heard
his opinions, and are happy of an opportuni-
ty to lay the latter before the reader.
1t is pretty well established fact that apple
trees-and we would add pear trees-pruned
from the middle Of July to the middle of Aug.
sustain the operation with more advantage
than if pruned at any other period of the
year. If pruned at this time, the wound will
heal over, and make, what surgeons would
say of properly amputated arm or leg, a
handsome stump. II the branches be Topped
in winter or spring, the stump generally
leaves perpetual scar and if, after the sap
has commenced flowing, bare bone, as it
we're, projecting from the living parts of the
tree, and remaining there until it rots away,
when frequently the decay continues on, as a
sort of gangrcne, into the very heart Of the
tree, much tn its injury. Who has not OBJ
served this in his experience?
We have more than once witnessed the
benefits of pruning in midsummer, and have
always been impressed with the advantages
over the system generally pursued. On one
or two occasions, some years ago, we advert
ed to the fact, and now again call attention
to it, especially as the season for trying it is
at hand.

orange, is in my estimation. the standard sort
roots long, smooth, and of deep orange
color suitable for the table, and for the main
field crop.
With proper culture and good husbandry,
carrots may be made to yield from six to eight
hundred bushels per acre. Mr.. Coffin, of
Armenia, Duchess Co., N. y says he raises from
four to five hundred bushels of carrots per acre,
by turning rich piece of greensward, and SOW
ing in drills Is inches apart, about the first of
June. In this way he has little trouble with
weeds
There is nothing equal to carrots as condi-
ment for horses; yet we cannot agree with those
who consider bushel of carrots equal in nu.
tritive value to bushel of oats. But carrots
and other roots, are of much more value than
the simple amount of nutritve matter they con-
tain would indicate They serve the further
purpose Of keeping up a healthy action in the
system.
Have tried the experiment of feeding carrots
to colt the first winter. Gave about two
quarts, cut up, each morning, and the rest of
his fodder was good hay. He thrived well, and
grew through the winter as in the following
summer. [ consider them frst-rate for the
healthy growth of colts
TThe conclusion of this interesting cssav will
be given in the next Freeman. Ed

Drought and Rain.

The people prayed for rain
They said The drought is long;
Our fields will bear no grain;
We sing no harvest song.
The prayer was good ; but vain
And foolish the complaint
For God in love sends rain
Before his children faint
His promise does not fail.
Seed time with heat returns;
And so the watery gale
Will pour where sunshine burns.
Alike through rain and heat
He stoops to fill our store
We sow in faith the wheat
He yields the large fold more.

CARROTS.

The carrot is an important vegetable in gen.
eral cultivation, although not as extensively
cultivated as would be for the best interest of
husbandman. 1t succeeds best on light sandy
loan, made rich by manuring the previous year.
Well rotted manure, applied in the spring, in
sufficient quantity to make it rich, mixed deep
with the soil by spading, or deep blowing, from
II to IA inches, would be preferable. Have it
completely pulverized, with harrow and rake,
leaving the surface clean and smooth. Don t be
aiIaid Of working the soil too much.
Any deep, rich, mellow loamy soil, not too
heavy, yet containing sufficient clay to enable
it to resist an ordinary drouth, is admirably
adapted for carrots.
Sow in drills or rows, soon after the prcpara-
ton of the soil from - to Is inches apart, and
about half an inch in depth. The soil should
be pressed on the seed by treadng or rolling
In this vicinity, carrots should be sown as carly
in May as the season will allow. If the wealth
er is favorable, they will be up and ready for
hoeing in about three weeks. The hoe should
then be passed through between the rows, to
kill the weeds This is very important The
stirring Of The soil also helps the growth of the
carrots. After this, continue to hoe sufficiently
to keep them free from weeds and the soil in a
good healthy condition. The first of June,
thin the carrots out to tho distance of or
inches apart in the drills
Mr., Hayward, of Monroe Co., N. Y, says;
There is no crop the farmer raises that pays
so well, or yields 50 much good feed, per acre,
for stock '
l consider the great secret of success in rails
ing carrots is wedding them in season, and
keeping them clear from weeds. A few days
delay or neglect will certainly be the means of
losing the entire crop, especially in wet sea-
son.
There arc quite number of varieties Of the
carrot some early, and some late. Tho long
