ers we're, in fact, too sharp for them this
time They said, rather than sell at these
low figures, we will pack our own pork SO
in al The West the grapgers combined, de-
termiDed to pack unless they could get what
their pork was honestly worth. Pork came
in slow, not iast enough to meet the demand
Of the packers The grangers went to put
ting up theV own pork. The packers be-
came alarmed and thought they had better
make smaller profits, aud 30 they commenced
making higher prices.
The grangers were firm, resolute, aud in
sisted on fair prices, and the packers were
compelled to pay them. The result is, pork
to.lay is worth from 1926 to 1913 per
hundred instead Of $500. The farmers
have triumphed over the combinations to
wrong them. Millions more of dollars have
been saved TO them than otherwise would
have been. They needed the money and
have got it, They we're entitled to it, and
have only got what was their due. The
farmers can combine on larger and grand
er scale than any other class when it be-
comes necessary.

TOBACCO RAISING.

Reports from various tobacco-growing To-
caities in New England are very discourage
ing to those engaged in that business. There
have been considerable quantities Of the
weed grown in New Hampshire and some in
Vermont the past few years but it looks as
though the business was growing little un-
popular not only in these states but further
south where the crop is more common. A
correspondent of the Neao England Farmer
writing from Agawam, Mass, says:
My advice to all such as anticipate raising
a crop, who are IN any sense beginners, is
not to begin. Better let your land lie Elllow,
than to burdeh 1t with crop that you can
not eat or sell. Better spend the time you
would use in blowing your field, among the
farmers of the Connecticut Valley who
have become bankrupt, or nearly so. by over
production. and ask them what you had bet
ter do about it. From my standpoint ii
would seem man could he little less than II
lunatc to think of the thing. II the men
who have their sheds built, and all the par
aphernalla for raising and curing the crop on
hand. cannot raise it ut present prices, and
/ venture TO say they cannOt-nuch less can
he who has all these things TO supply. Let
me say to all such, young men, middle-ag"d
men, old men. dOnt yOu do &c.
Besides the question Of individual profit
and loss, arises that of real gain to the cOun-
try, The man who produces a good and
paying crop.Of wheat, or other provisions, is
not Only adding to his wealth but to that Of
the world, while he who produces an article
which does not feed or clothe any one, Lor
add TO the practical wealth of the country,
though he may make it profitable to himself
Is taking that productive capacity with which
he is endowed, and which Nature designed
him to use for the good Of mankind, from the
field of productive labor and placing himself
practically among noH-producers.
1t being true that there are other branches
Of industry which will afford profitable EN-
poyment to every person, those who are de.
sirOus not only Of living themselves but Of
helping on the general prosperity of the
country will turn their energies to the pro-
duction OF crops which shall make the coun,
try more prosperous, Each person 10 placed
here and given certain measure Of ability
aud the wsest Is he who so uses that ability
as to bring the greatest good to the great
est number" We cannot feel very sorry
to see tobacco classed among those crop
which are Improbable in New England, anC
there are other articles of production il
which decrease might he no damage.

having been $1,000 paid as premiums on
horse races 4 the last fair, sud only sS4o
as premiums on al other articles. A bill
before he Legislature to approptiate $4,000
tOr the erection OF !. grand stand at The
park Of the State Society was warmly
contested.
The grangers are nothing If not practical,
and do not stop short At protest against
an existing evil, but bead their energies TO
an endeavor TO remedy il. SO they have al
ready incorporated another society, to take
the place of this one given over to horse
racing and pooI-seling, and the formidable
title Of the organization is the "Agricultur-
al and Mechanical Exposition Of Southern
California" They expect to have all prep.
araticus made, on grounds Of their own, TO
hold an agricultural and mechanical fair
during the autumn of the present year, and
they promise at their fairs to offer premiums
for all valuable agricultural, mechanical and
mineral products, as well as the improve
ment Of stock, and for the fastest running
pacing, trotting, and walking horses, as well
MS the best draft horses, but no pool-selling
or other gambling win be permitted on the
grounds. They ask the legislature for an
appropriation to aid in, fitting up their
grounds.

Editor Of tie Vermont Farmer.
see the question of who shall he gov
ernor is being discussed in your columns,
aud would like to express my preference
IN the matter and give few Of my reasons
therefor. Among the names mentioned |
see none that suits me better than that of
Col. John b. Mead, Of Randolph
The approaching contest promises to be
lively one, and some new issues will doubt
less take prominent place before the people
which have heretofore been unknown or
stood in the background First, there is
strong and increasing feeling among the
Farmers that they want farmer, or at least
a man friendly TO the interests Of the farm
ing class, and If they are aroused they can
defeat any man or party who oppose them.
Second, the temperance movement never had
a 6rmer foothoId upon the people of Yer.
mont than now, and the interest in prohibit
tion is daily increasing, SO that a strong
prohibitionist as Mr.. Mead is known to be
viii draw IA large vote which might be lost
with some other candidate. Again Mr..
Mead il a staunch republican and MAD for
whom that party need never hesitate to cast
their votes. His sympathies are with the
agricultural interests Of the state aud coun-
try, and he wppld receive as heavy a. vote
from the graugets as any man who could be
named
bellows the people of the state will
look at the matter as do, aud hope Mr..
Mead's reputation as an honest man Of
sound Integrity and good Judgment, farm
er, u temperance man, and one Of marked
ability, will not be overlooked in the repub-
llcan state convention next month
The Rutland Herald Of yesterday says
that political farming is following the great
tidal wave Of 1879 into obscurity" Well,
we shall see. Let the republican party
nominate a man known to be hostile 10 the
grahgers and il will only require one cam
paigu to determine whether the farmers oil
Vermont are 10 earnest 10 their orgapixation
or not Though the grange does not med.
die with politics, think it's members will
give their voters to the man who they think
will best represent their interests

SEED POTATOES.

As planting time returns the ever-reour-
ring questions in regard to size Of seed and
manner of planting come up. Every one
wants to prepare and plant his seed 10 that
manner which shall produce the best crop at
the least expense. There are some who cOu-
tend for whole potato in each hill some
cut to single eyes aad put one or two 10 a
hill f; some plant none but the largest tubers
so as to get the largest in return, believing
that like produces like aud others claim
that small potato will produce as many
new ones, and as large, as large one.
Iu nearly every other crop people do not
stop to question the statement that the best
and largest should always be selected for
seed, aud why should not the rule apply
here 0f course the potato is not a seed,
but that only makes the effect upon the crop
produced from it the more marked and de-
cisive. From carefully conducted expert
ments we are fully convinced that in order
to produce the best crop possible it is neces-
Sary to select the largest and best specimens
for seed We planted field TO jackson
Whites and Davis Seedlings few years ago,
selecting the best potatoes to plant, and got
out Of seed before the piece was all planted.
Rather than go distance as we should have
been obliged to for moro seed, we finished
the piece with potatoes which had been re-
jected as too small. When the crop was
harvested the difference between the twoparts
of the field was noticed BY all, the potatoes
being less in number aud smaller in sze
where the smaller seed was used, 80 much 30
that we resolved that field would go uu-
planted before we would again use small tu-
bers for seed. ....
