was especially Intended to reach the bill
for incorIorstion Of companies for manu-
featuring, quarrying, and the alteration o
names The Senate, In accordance will
the resolution, refused the passage Of bill
from the House Of that character, which
is creating some unpleasant feeling be
tween the two Houses. Unfortunately
two Of the bills that met an early fate
were local to Rutland, namely, "An Ac,
to incorporate the Green Mountain Mar
bic Company" and An Act TO incor.
porate the Otter Greek Dairy Associa-
ton" The House taking no action, un-
der the resolution, if the Senate insist
upon its observance of the rule, it will
dispose of large portion of the legisla-
ton in somewhat summary manner, and
be liable to create much embarrassment
between the two Houses
1t is understood that Hon. John Prou,
declines another election as Judge of the
Supreme Court, consequently there is
much discussion among members as to
who shall be selected to fill the position.
The names of Hon. Charles @. Dewey,
Edwin Edgerton, Esq, of Rutland, Hon.
A. L. Miner, Hon. Harmon Garfield of
Arlington, Hon. William s. South
worth and George w. Harmon, Esq, OF
Bennington, are all favorably mentioned
in connection with the Office. Hon. Hoyt
IL. Wheeler of Jamaica, member Of the
Senate, is also suggested AZ gentleman
eminently fitted for the office, and is be-
ing received with great favor. He is
lawyer Of high repute, and man Of high
character, who would, if elected, give
great satisfaction. Should any one be
chosen out of the judicial district, Mr.. w.
will probably be the man. However,
there seems to be growing disposition
not to go outside of the judicial dis
trict, composed of the counties of Rut-
land and Bennington, for Judge. Judge
Wilson will probably be reelected, al
though Hon. Homer E. Royce, Judson III

DAMAGE TO THE WEsTERs APrLE
CRoP.-The St. Louis Republican says
the severe weather of the last few days
has inflicted immense injury, far and
wide, ON the Spple crop-the largest and
finest that has been seen In that part Of
the West for years. Winter apples are
rarely gathered till the latter part Of Oc-
tober or the first Of November, and the
frost of Saturday, Sunday and Monday
nights, which made ice q quarter Of an
inch thick, froze the apples On the trees,
and utterly destroyed their keeping pro-
perties. Thousands Of barrels In the
vicinity of st. Louis have thus been
ruined, and farmers are now busily en-
gagged In making them into cider and
Vinegar.

THE British government is applying the
screw very gently, with the view of at
taching British Columbia to the Canadian
Confederation. Earl Granville, the Colo
NAL Secretary, has addressed a dispatch
to Governor Musgrove of British Column
bia, in which the advantages Of the union
are earnestly and not unfairly stated.
The obstacles to the measure, arising
from distance and the absence of means
of communication, seem, however, to be
moderated under the most favorable
circumstances, years must elapse before
these obstacles can be overcome. And in
the long interval, will Her Majesty's sub
jects on the Pacific coast be content with
an arrangement which cannot possibly
satisfy their urgent wants For the time,
at least, the struggle is between loyalty
and self-interest.

ReiuYe natinq Old Horses.

If a horse has been reduced by over
driving, hard treatment, and stintcd al
lowance of food, so that he has become
poor, dispirited, and hide-bOund, it will be
an easy task, in most instances, to restore
him to a good condition BY adopting jul
dicious course of feeding. In the first
place, provide spacious box stall, in which
he can turn around without doubling his
neck and body together. IF he can have
the vantage of yard during the day, all
the better. He may be required to labor
every day, if he be handled carefully
Gentle driving and right kind of feeding
will be one of the best means employed to
develope the muscle and put on flesh. Ev-
cry day the horse should have at least four
quarts of carrots or turnips or roots of some
kind, in addition to three liberal feelings
of cut feed. Meal composed Of one part
of oats, one of rye or wheat, and third
part of Indian corn, will make excellent
feed for such purpose. A quart of oil
meal mixed with the grain will be an i'm
provement in thefeed Compelling horse
to eat too much straw with the meal will
be very detrimental The better way will
be to employ only few quarts of cut straw
with the meal. Then, if the stomach is
not sufficiently distended, let the animal
have access to a few pounds of hay. Feed
| him only as much as he will eat up clean
in about one hour-Hearth and Home.

Hons in the Orchard

4 correspondent Of the Rural American
SAYS: l have neighbor, Mr. W s, well
TODD farmer he has two large farms and
several orchards, and he is a man who at
tends to his business-who has place for
everything ani everything in its place
He drives his business, and does not lct his
business drive bin. His orchards are well
trimmed and consist of grated trees bear
ing every year. He sells from one to two
hundred barrek of apples year, besides
cider apples, sold and made into cider.
One of his orchards, particularly, bears IN
usually heavy crops. This orchard has the
wash of his barn yard, which he conducts
as far as he can by means of a furrow
drawn the entire length of the orchard.
Mr.. : always lets his hogs run in this or
chard till the apples begin to drop in the
fall. His pigs are not allowed to root, but
he rings them. The pigs pick MP all the
wind-falls and wormy apples, thus prevent
| ing the apple worm from increasing and
| infesting the fruit. have no doubt that
this is the best remedy for the apple worm
moth.
l have another neighbor, Mr.. :. H., who
has large orchard that he told me useC
to bear 200 to 400 bushels of apples
year that had not borne for the last si1
years as many As that number of apples
and the only reason is, that his trees stanC
too close together, and are infested by in
sects. There is one insect particularly, tn,
''cinebex ulmi," of HAMS, that has and
doing more damage in this section than al
the other insects together. II is specie

Ventilation of Bee Hives.

A correspondent of the Bee Journal in
speaking of this subject, advances views
respecting it which are at variance with
those generally entertained. He says:
A suitable abode for the honey bee is a
hive perfectly alright, except at one place
and that should be so that the bee-keeper
can enlarge or diminish it at will. Bees do
not thrive in hive where there is a cur
rent of air passing through it. They stop
all holes at the top if they can.
| hold that all hives that have this space,
no matter whether they are shallow or
deep, giving free circulation of cold air ali
around the bees, and striking in between
each frame to the clustering bees, do more
harm than shallowness of the hives. In
early spring, if there comes a few days Of
mild weather, the bees spread out over the
combs, the queen depositing eggs in nearly
all the cells, and the bees cover them.
Then comes a cold snap, or even one cold
night, causing the bees to cluster compact
ly together. Al the eggs and Larvae out
side of the cluster are chilled, and cleaned
out by the bees. And 50 it goes all through
the changeabIe weather Of spring. All
hives that have this vacant space, it is most
impossible for bees to breed up in at all in
early spring; making them too late for
early swarming, or to gather honey when
it is most plentiful. If such hives have
lower and upper ventilation, letting the
cool air rush up through the hive and car
rying off the animal heat, the bees in them
are worthless. Comb frames should fiji
tight to the sides Of the hive, to prevent
t his vacant space.

Coal Tar for Woodchucks.

The woodchucks have troubled me more

ing the growing beans, cabbages, turnips,

their depredations, such as trapping them,
stopping up their holes, putting up scare
crows among the hoed crops, etc, still the
varmints would succeed in doing consider
able mischief. The present season they
commenced again, and one piece Of beans
seemed threatened with entire destruction,
and l thought something must be done,
las the boy said when he got lost in the
woods. so | concluded to try other expert
ments with them.

newspapers and placed them in the holes
where they lived, and stopped them up.
