Rutland weekly herald. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1859-1877, 1863-10-01

saee men e rhe genius homo, big or little,
has been on the ground as a show,
during the two days OF the Fair
The citizens of Rutland county
have got up quiet, rational eShi-
biton of their industrial products,
without the aid of foreign buGoons and
balloons. Let the fact be noted and re-
membered to their credit. .-... -
In addition to what we have noticed IN
Mechanics Hall, we would mention--one
peck of white tomatoes, by +. Button
thirty -four varieties Of potatoes, by Il.
C. Allen of Wallingford, and ten varle-
ties bysF Plumbley of Shrewsbury among
which were some ''Prince Alberts," and
she largest and finest "Early Blues" we
ever saw. ....e .s.
We noticed outside Cromwell's Patent
Double Acting Force Pump, from Skow-
hogan and Lewiston, Me. The valves
and boxes are all in the bottom OF the
well, and the pump can raise water from
any depth. BY attaching hose to the
spout, water can be thrown to the height
of 100 feet.
Mr.. P. Edgerton Of North Clarendon,
had on exhibition "a j. Smiths wire and
straw Premium Bee Hive" We extract
one paragraph from the circular, which
will give some idea of the principle OF the
hive: .H -.-
Straw, from its power OF absorbing
moisture, its non-conduction of heat, and
capacity for ventilation, is the best OF all
hive materials, but its want of sohdlty
requires some other material to preserve
its shape, and to prevent its harborlng the
bee moth. The material which supplies
those reouisitions most thoroughly, is wire
cloth. Out of this combination OF materl-
ais a hive can be made possessing more
advantages, and better adapted to the
wants of the bee and its master, than any
other in USE"
We cordially recommend this hive to
the attention of all bee-keepers. Mr.. Edg-
erton is prepared to sell individual, town
and county rights in either of the states oil
Maine, New Hampshire, or Vermont.
