EVERY one knows that had it not
been for Grant the salary bill could
not have become law, and he boldly
assumes the responsibility. Butler
introduced the salary bill in the
House, and finally fought it through,
and Grant has given him control of
the Federal patronage in Massachu-
setts, and is trying to make him Gov
eFnor of that State. Bingham re-
ported the salary bill to the house,
'.With the recommendation that it do
pass,1 and Grant has made Bingham
Minister te Japan, with salary of
$l8,5OO a year. Under this law of
Grant, a member of Congress may
draw from the Treasury Sc, ,250 before
Congress meets, and resign without
even taking the oath of Office, while
be has received st, ,25O for doing moth
ing This fore-pay is a. funny feature
of Grants salary law. But funnier
feature was to increase the pay of
Congress one-half when its labors
had just been reduced one-third.

WHAT Daniel Webster said in his
day is true now, viz: All that intel
llgence and industry ask is fair play
and an open field" Were it not for
the presumptuous influence of the
tariff by way of increasing the cost of
the motive power, and in many in
stances the raw material of manufac-
tnrers, as well as the general cost of
living, we could triumphantly chal-
lenge the world to compete in all sta
pie and natural productions and man
ufactured goods. If anything further
is needed to this end it is a sound
currency.

A WAsHIEGToS telegram reports
Grant as being anxious for the repeal
Of the Increased salary law, thinking
the safety of the Republican party de-
mands it but he is mum about his own.
He knows that that cannot be effected
by the repeal of the law. He has shown
no disposition to cover back any part
ofhis increased pay into the Treasury.

squares of buildings, mostly private
residences, reaching from Lexington

however, got track of him, and now
his marrying days are over, for a time

PITcHING into the increase of salary
and back pay business, and at the
same time glorifying President Grant
whose signature made it the law, and
who gets his own salary doubled
thereby, is too thin for the people not
to see through. The Republicans
must take the full responsibility of
this iniquity. They cannot crawl out
from under a two-thirds majority in
both houses of Congress and Presi-
dent Grant at their back. .H

seems to be prevalent at this time in a
large section Of country, and | apprehend
is as severe in Vermont as elsewhere.
Last year, during the entire season, we
had frequent rains, and the winter set in
with the ground well filled with water.
The winter and early spring seemed very
favorable to the production of good crops.
A heavy body of snow covered the ground
from the latter part of November until
we'll along into the month of April, and
when it wert off, the grass looked fresh,
green, and thoroughly rooted, and we all
then thought that crop, the most import
ant in Vermont, would be good. Until
the 10th of June our pastures have not
looked as well or yielded more or sweeter
feed for more than thirty years. The
meadows looked equally we'll unit. about
that time. Since then we have had no
rains, or none that amounted to anything;
and now the oldest inhabitant says
he never knew it as dry on the first day

Top Dressing Meadows.

We hear great complaints this year,
las we do every year the grass crop is
short), that old meadows are poor, very
little grass upon them. We are of the
opinion we should hear much less of this
if the meadows were managed properly
especially after haying. Many meadows
receive no attention after haying except
very close feeding by the stock on the
place, and where this is followed, year
after year, the wonder is that the mead.
ows 60 abused should produce any crop
Of hay at all. Meadows should not be
fed after the crop of hay is taken off un.
til they have had time to recuperate and
get good coat of after feed, and not even
then unless the crop is large and likely to
prove too heavy q coat to pass safely
through winter of deep snow. Where
there is danger of too great growth tc
pass through such winter safely, it will
not iniure such meadows to NOW them
twice, or even to feed them,
All meadows that are not of the above
character should have some kind of tor
dressing, and there is no other season SC
good to do this as Immediately after hay
ing. Our observation, as we'll as some
experience, teaches us that one load O
manure put upon a meadow as q toy
dressing, in August or September,is wortl
more than two in the spring.
A liberal investment for superphos
phate at this season for use on meadow
land after haying would prove very profit
able. But the cheapest of all application
and one that should be made to all up
land meadows is coat of plaster. Thi
costs but little, and very rarely fails o
producing large returns. We have seei
meadows that produced hardly enougl
grass to pay for cutting made to produc
good paying crops of hay by a simpl
dressing of plaster, aud the good effect
were plainly visible for at least thre
years. Surely farmers cannot afford t
neglect giving their meadows the bene6
ofwhat costs SO little as a hundred pound
Of plaster per acre.
We hope to see many of the farmers O
Addison County trying this cheap fertil
izer on their meadows this summer, an
also hope if they do SO they will repor
the results, whether they are iavorabl
or not.
