ness, which is comparatively new for
Vermont, has taken unusual development
during the war. We we're informed that
the inexperience Of farmers in the pre-
paration and protection of their hay for
The outward market, has been a most
serious obstacle to the success of the
business, and that both private shippers
and Government have been large losers
from this cause. 1t would be for the in>
terest of farmers who desire TO improve
this outlet for their surplus bay, to make
such arrangements that the hay. when
baled, can be safely stored on their farms
until transportation can be afforded it
over the railroad. And every farmer
who regards his own reputation, should
remember that hay which is sailed i
thereby rendered unfit for Shipping
The salt sbsorbs the moisture and causes
the hay to heat. Ii will take sometime
for Vermont hay to recover from the in
jury its reputation has received in mar
ket from neglect Of these considerations.

Manchester Mirror letter from which
we make the following extract: Il take
the liberty to send you the enclosed
actual result of trial of fair sample of
wool from four different growers in this
section which is probably as good wool
region as any in the State. The trial
was made by the mills and you will see
that each fleece Of the twelve was cleansed
by itself. The result shows the differ
ence in the same flock. Neither the
lightest or heaviest heeces we're taken
but as near as could be fair average
No bucks feeces were taken. The sheep
are the common Merinos Of this section

dent is contained in a letter from the

THE UNION MOWER

Is the best machine manufactured for the
following reasons -
l. 1t is the only quick geared machine that
has steel plate in the guard, and a flexible cut
ter-bar, both ends of which can be elevated to
pass distractions.
,. 1t is the only ed-jointed folding-ba
machine that has the draft attached so as to re
lieve the drag Of the cutter on the ground.
1t has the strongest guards, which will
never break and we hereby agree to furnish
gratui'ous all that break in use.
4. Both ends Of the eutter-bar will conform
to all inequalities of the ground, thus securing a
uniform close cut, which is not the case with
other quick gearcd machines
The Union Machine h a taken numerous
premiums the most prominent of which last
Fall were the FIRST PREMIUM at the New
England Agricultural Society Exhibition, held
at Springfield Mass, and the FIRST PREMI-
I NJ at the Agricultural State Fair, held in
Eastern Pennsylvania. We invite comparison
with any other machines manufactured.
In connection with the Union Mower we
build very light, easy-running

TRANsPLANTING.--It will soon be time
10 transplant cabbage, tomato and tobacco
plants. This is often carelcssly done
and great losses sustained in consequence
A few hours exposure of the plants to
the sun and wind will result in the loss
of some days growth, at least, if it does
not cause the entire loss ofthe plants.
These plants should not be lifted from
the bed il it can be helped, till the ground
and the holes are prepared to receive
them. 1t is capital plan if the soil is
not already very moist from rain, TO
water them thoroughly in the bed an
hour or two before lifting. 1t will cause
a greater amount OF soil TO adhere 10 the
roots.

To REMOVE THE TASTE OF INV
WooD.-A new keg, churn, bucket, or
other wooden vessels, will generally
communicate disagreeable taste to any
thing that is put into it. To prevent this
inconvenience, first scald the vessel well
with boiling water, letting the water re-
main in it ill cold. Then dissolve some
pearlash or soda in luke.warm water, ad-
ding a little bit of lime TO it, and wash
the inside of the vessel well with this
solution. Afterwards scad it well with
plain hot water, and rinse it with cold
before you use it.
