More About Hulless Oats.

Roswell Child, Of Moretown, writes us
that since his article on Hulless Oats APP
peared in the FARMER he has been in re-
ceipt of numerous letters inquiring about the
price Of the oats how much seed to sow to
to the acre, &C., &c. He says all the hum
bug about the oats is the price asked, as the
oat is genuine hulless grain, and by judi
cious cultivation can be made valuable
acquisition to our cereals. He has some of
them to spare which he will sell at one
fourth of the rates asked, and can refer to
others who will do the same. One bushel
is enough to the acre. He inclines to the
belief that the theory Of its being hybrid
is correct. 1t weighs, when thoroughly
cleaned, fifty pounds TO the bushel.
We advise any who are determined to try
these oats this year to send to Mr.. Q. rather
than to parties who ask higher price, and
if some one else will sell lower than Mr.. c..
he is the man to buy Of. But, as these is,
having been known so long, have not come
into general use, it is natural to suppose the
reason was that any superior excellence they
may possess was counterbalanced by some
fault. They are being very extensively
purchased, at the high prices asked for them,
and in few years will probably be as
plenty and cheap as Norway oats or Early
Rose potatoes.

Portland and ogdensburgh.


The Portland and Ogdensburgh railroad,
thanks TO the energetic and perscvering char
acter of the men who have had its coustruc-
ton 10 charge, is morally sure to be pushed
through to completion at the western end the
coming season. Through connection to
Montreal will also be secured at an carly
day through the recent consolidation Of the
whole line. This VIII place st. JOhnsbury
and the Lamoille valley on one Of the most
important and what promises to be one of
the most profitable lines Grom the West to
the seaboard, and it ought to and probably
will materially lessen the freight on many
articles to points along the road. The prom
Uses made by the president and others con-
nected with this road that no combination
shall ever be entered into with other roads
by it to keep freights up would be of little
weight were these men not so well known for
individual honesty and integrity. When we
see the gigantic railroad war being carried
on between the Baltimore and OHIO and
other roads, and the steady front with which
the latter road has so steadily opposed all eff
forts to either coax or drive it into these
combinations, we are inspired with a feel
ing of admiration for the road which is max
ing so good fight, but at the same time we
cannot repress a fear that that road may yet
weary of the battle, aud yield. The tempta-
tions that tend to lead to such action are
many and strong, but we have hope that the
p. q O. may show as courageous spirit as
the Baltimore and Ohio has done, and that
this, now styled "tbe peoples road" may
never. become, instead, the monopolists' tool
But to reap the full advantages which
ought to accrue to Vermonters from the con
struction Of this new road, through hither-
to unopened country, we want water COM
munication between Lake Champain and the
great lakes. We want the great ship canal
to the st. Lawrence. We want to do away
with every possible mile of rail carriage for
freight, having everything come as near to
us as possible by the cheaper water trans
portation, and then let this peoples road
take up the freight and deliver it at our
doors for the lowest possible sum.
We look forward with confidence to the tint
when. through these two means, water-trans
portation and the p. & o. road, Vermont shal
be practically, for half of the year, a seaport
state, and our transportation be done at q
far lower figure than now.

A WORD TO YOUNG MEN.-There is a
certain class of advertisers (the meanest kind
of frauds) who make speciality Of victim
izing young men. They offer to send free of
charge, or for merely nominal sum, trea-
tise on physiology and pathology, containing
q sure cure for some class of diseases-gene-
rally nervous debility, or they have discover
ed ga simple method of self.cure." Their
circulars will picture out to you series OF
symptoms of disease" which are symptoms
Invariably present in the perfectly healthy
patient, and they lead the young man to ac-
tually fancy himself afflicted with some terri
BILE disease. Perhaps he may take their
prescription to a drug store to have it filled.
IL so, he finds some ingredient is not to be
had. He refers again to the circular and
finds that the generous advertiser has pre-
pared for such cases. For SO, So, or so,
he will send the medicine already prepared.
That many are led to patronize these swim
dlers is evident from the extent to which they
advertise in almost every paper in the coun-
try. Among them are DR.. j. II. Reeves,
Chas. j. G. Kline, and host of others,
mostly Crews" Keep your money, and al
so your selfrespect, by letting these blood
suckers entirely alone. If you are i'll, patron

your money and your time, and at the same
