Important to the People and to Delegates
TO the June Convention.

Among the resolutions passed by the
Democratic State Convention, was the
following, which is of importance to
all parishes desiring a change of dele
gates:
Resolred, That it be thoroughly noti-
fed through the press to the people of
the State that the adjourned meeting
Of this Convention, to be held as above,
has for its object the nomination Of
candidates for State offices, and that
the different parishes have the right
and are requested, in as far as they wish,
to revise and change the delegations to
which they are entitled.
In further explanation of the spirit
which controlled the Convention, it
may be said that an entire new set of
delegates would have been acceptable
to that body, and such would have
been its recommendation, but for the
fear that the time intervening would
not permit due notice to be given of
new parish conventions and the neces-
sary preparations by the new delegates,
in distant parishes, to attend the June
Convention. Beside this, some OF the
parishes, Orleans for instance, were sat
istied with their selections, and it was
deemed best for the Convention not to
require change, absolutely, in such
cases. The question of change was,
therefore, left entirely with the par
isheS. Where no change is made, the
old delegates will be considered rs con-
tirned.
In connection with this subject, we
desire to impress upon all delegates
and upon the people, the Importance of
due care in the bestowal Of proxies
upon individuals to represent them in
the Convention. No man should re-
ceive a proxy whose political integrity
and sOundness is not above suspicion.
He must necessarily have discretion,
and therefore let him be reliable, safe
and purc-not easily shaken by the
wind, or moved from his purpose by
clamor or by Kisses, but yet sufficiently
tages and use them.
The next canvass will be more Of a
personal than of Il political character.
Men will be. guided more by men than
has ever been the case in a presiden-
tial election. The idea Of change of
administration and rulers will swallow
up all other ideas, and men will become
pre-cminently the representatives, or
opponents, of this one absorbing idea.
Hence, the personal aspect Of the APP
preaching canvass, and hence the ne
cessity for confidence in each other.
This confidence begins in the primary
meetings, extends to the State Conven-
ton and is transferred to our candi-
dates. We should therefore be unusu-
ally particular in the choice OF men
sent to represent us in the June Com
vention, and as trust is so large an
element in the Inauguration of the
struggle, it would be by far the best to
trust none but those who have been
h'ie'', and are known to he honest, safe
and true.

Butter.

The following, from the last Pro
d,teers' Price Current, win be of inter
est to our butter makers:
1t does not pay to send inferior butter
to market in pals, this we have said of
ten again. The pail, for the reason that
it must be returned when empty, is suit
ed only to our best city trade only an
exceptionally good quality of butter,
such as our best grOcers want. will com
pensate for the trouble of returning the
package. Unless butter is very choice.
it sells better in tubs or irkins than in
pals; very often the only demand there
is for this grade comes out of town
markets where pals can not be used at
all. There is an inquiry for yellow fir
klns for the South; no great quantity is
wanted, but each of the regular shippers
wants few; by the time we receive
fair supply of them, doubtless, the New
Orleans market will break under receipts
of western. Welsh tubs seem to 90
rather slower this week than last and
are off more than half tubs. We re-
mark that daiTymen do themselves an
injustice by allowing soakage in mark
ing the tare of packages. This is al
ways allowed to the buyer by the seller;
one pound on half-frkins and two
pounds on firkins; the dairyman should
mark the dry tare only, otherwise it is
twice allowed. Western arrives of quite
ordinary quality; here and there a fine
yellow tub brings a good price, bUt gen

portfonment, will leave each state with
at least its present representation. The
committee, however, in addition to the
twelve members assigned to fractions by
the above table, assign one to New
Hampshire and one to Florida, making
in all a House of two hundred and nine
ty-two. The reason for this is that
greater injustice will be done each of

states by giving it. By this apportion-

Extcrunimate tEsa weeds.

At the last meeting of the Little Falls
Farmers Club the president asked for
the best means to destroy ChiclWccd.
which. he said. infested his garden. A
seeding down TO grass a year Or two was
recommended by Hon. Harris Lewis
This method would, doubtless, be sue
ccssfuI so far as the surface is concerned
yet it would be impracticablc in Il flower
garden where bulbs and pcrennials are
cultivated. But the remedy would not
he entirely ctfcctual, for there are myr-
lad seeds OF the chickwccd. as well as
pursl8nc and other kinds that are buried
by spading and plOWing far below the
terminating influence and only awaiting
a turn of the soil TO bring them to light
and life again. Along the new lines of
railway cuttings. in England, the very
first season Of uncOvering, there always
appears large crops of chickwecd. char
losh. grOundsel and other foul weeds
vet there are no signs of these obnoxious
plants anywhere else in the yinCinagc of
these excavations. | venture the asscr-
tiOn that the efforts usually put forth to
destroy the Chickweed always result in
increasing the pests, for the stellaria
family. of which there are seven or
eight different varieties, possess the
power of ripening their seeds. if need be,
before they are half matured in size; so
so that when the plants are chopped up
by the hoe and left to die on the surface
of the soil, millions of these seeds will
ripen sufficiently to retain the germinat-
inc power, and that too, when the seeds
are so small as to be scarcely visible.
The s. Nedjd, as botanists name the
chickweed that infests our gardens, pro-
duce seeds as hard as shot The same,
too, may be said of the purslane and
many other weeds. Now, if these weeds
be merely taken up and carried to the
dung heap, the seeds will not rot if in
an ordinary compost, but will be brought
back to the garden where they will grow
again,
ITO cumber and plunder the soil"
To fight weeds effectually, they should
be chopped or pulled out as soon as they
appear above ground, and should be at
once removed, not to the dung hill, but
to some separate limbo in a corner, ex-
pressly set apart, and there undisturbed
let them severely alone year after year
to rot, seeds and all, on the surface of
the ground. OF course the battle with
weeds is never done. for if you are nev-
er so thorough, your neighbor does not
cut them down in their sprouting ere the
seeds fly out on the air to lodge in mil
lions everywhere, Then, too, the gran
ivorous birds are so voracious that many
of the seeds they devour are not digested
but are dropped with their excrement
wherever they happen to be. In this
way, many weed is brought into clean
land. 1t is only by constant vigilance
and work that we can keep out the
weeds. D.B.

Breeds of Cattle.

At the St. Albans meeting of the
State Agricultural Board paper was
read by Mr.. Albert Chapman. of Middle
bury, on 'What Breeds of Cattle to
Raise" He thought, first of all that the
breed should be hardy; next that good
mixers should be secured, and that beef
characteristics should be regarded, but
he was far from the opinion that even
for this purpose the largest was best.
Breeds should be made to depend some
what on location. If a mans pasture
is hilly, lighter cattle will flourish better
than the more sluggish "shOrt horn"
which does best in a smoother and more
open section. Large cows are not usu-
ally the best mixers nor the richest. He
then examined the characteristics of the
different breeds. There are more good
breeds Of short horns in Vermont than
any other kinds, but they do not COM
pare with AlderneYs and Ayreshires for
the quality OF the milk. Under the
most favorable condition and treatment
the short horn is profitable, otherwise
not. In England the Hereford is con-
sidered best for all purposes, but in this
country they have not become so great
favorites. Many like the HOlsteins. but
though giving a large quantity of milk for
a short time, they do not continue it
through the year, and in Vermont they
cannot prove so profitable as smaller,
finer bOned and more compact breeds,
Among all breeds none are 50 beauti-
fui as the Deyons. II they had proven
as profitable for the dairy as for other
qualities they would have been accepted
as the best breed for us. But many had
been found inferior in tins respect. The
Jerseys and Alderncys are vastly better
for milk, and though the breed is varia-
bic. they are hard TO beat for butter.
Their milk is deficient in caseine and
they are not equal to others for beef.
Therefore they are not the breed for
Vermont,
But there IS breed-the Ayrshire
which seems adapted in all or nearly all
respects to our uses. The fest mention
ed Of them in this State was in 1910.
and they had not been in this country
long previous. They are good for but
ter, cheese and beef, are compact light
and adapted to Our climate and our hills.
They have already supplanted the De
yOus, and are rapidly becoming more
numerous i'm all parts of this State. in
Canada and the South Mr. Fisher in
formed him that the first brought into
Franklin county was In 1853 and now
there are upwards of 200 of them here.
He then rave many instances Of the
milking qualities Of this breed. in which
COW had given more than her own
weight in seventeen days. In addition.
he quoted from leading dairy authorities
to show that they possessed in an emf
cnt degree superior qualities for service,
Z e.,
