The Grange in Vermont.

Nix. EDiT0R-I now comply with
your request and give you a short &C.
count of the growth and prosperity OF
the Grange in this State.
The first Grange was organized and
established at St. Johnsbury, July l.,
1871. From this date to about January
!, 1874, the increase was comparatively
quite moderate, the order numbering
only about forty Oranges. -Agricultur-
lists, like the "burnt child" had good
cause to be distrustful and suspicious OF
any thing new, claiming for its object
their advancement, either morally, so.
cially or financially "and then, the
newspapers generally threw their in
nuence against the movement, not so
much because they knew IA great deal
about its merits or dement's, as that
they thought they would be on the
popular side OF the question in oppos-
Ing 1t. And the fact that, notwlth-
standing NIL opposition, it eth flour
Ished, would seem q sufficient guaran-
tee of its WORTH"
Since the latter date, its monstrous
strides have astonished It's most enthu-
slastic friends and adherents. Instead
of the puny child of a few months ago,
it has now assumed the proportions of
vigorous manhood, commanding the
respect of even its worst enemies. In
stead of here and there an organization
witha dozen members, it has anchored
itself in every county with hundreds
OF members-members, too, that art
not in the habit of grasping the pillow
and looking back. Some of the coun-
ties contain more Oranges than there
are towns. Ours for instance, having
twenty-three towns, has twenty-five
Oranges, and four towns not represent
ed. All told, the state has to-day "a
State Grange, II goodly number of
County Councils, and 2Oo subordinate
Oranges, with Il probable membership
OF near 29,000.-[G. b. g., in Record

Novel Feed for Sheep.

Perhaps ii Is not generally known
that sheep can he and are probably
wintered, on the coast of Maine, upon
fish in the place of grain. Yet it has
been practiced there eve since the
menhaden fishery was established.
These fish are taken III vast quantities,
iof their oil, aud the ''pomace" left
after expressing the oil Is what Is fed
to sheep. 1t is well relished, seems to
do no injury, and Is thought TO pro-
mote a heavy growth OF wool.
This fish pomace becomes very Of
fensive to the smell by keeping, and
some way Of preventing this, whether
ii be used for feeding or as n fertilizer,
is very desirable. Hon. =. l. Goodale,
for many years secretary of the Maine
Board OF Agriculture, has been expert
menting to discover some way of pre-
| venting the rapid decomposition OF
this substance. He thinks he has sue
ceeded, and writ. IS to us that he has
oShe US quantity vi piV'SN'cu P'hi
ace" to be experimental with. He
says
81 have requested Mr.. Morris to send
| you a barrel of fish poniace, which l
treated last summe by a method in
tended to fully protect 1t from decom-
position, and consequent otfensiveness,
and loss of amonia. often very serious.
1 would like your opinion Of this, both
as 1t opens, and OF its fertilizing eflica-
cy after composing and use. 1t seems
very desirable, if we can, to preserve
Its full value, and, ut the same time, to
convert it into an inoffcnsive article CT
commerce.
"Its use rs All adjunct to coarse tod-
der lacking in heterogeneous constitu-
ents) for growing sheep and cattle, finds
many warm advocates among our sea-
side farmers, and its use is extending.
But the drawback of otiensiveness Is
very serious, even in winter, when
alone, or chiefly, it is used. | have
strong hopes of wholly overcoming this
obstacle"
his fish pomace. known also as
fish guano," is believed by chemists
to be the best and cheapest substitute
for Peruvian guano accessible to the
New England farmer. But owing to
its rapid decomposition, itqulckly loses
a great portion of its ammonia, and be-
comes comparatively worthless, as we'll
as very offensive. But If it can be pre-
served for one year by Mr.. Goodsle's
method, or any other, 30 as to retain all
Its virtues. it would have a very extern
sive sale. And IL 1t proves that, before
using 1t as Il manure, we can pass it
through cursheep, with benefit to them
and no very great loss to Its fertillzing
value, we think Vermont farmers
would soon come to regard 1t as worthy
of their attention Waterman and

CONDUCTED BY ALBERT CHAPMAN
Length Of Roots.

Prof. w. J. Beal of the Michigan Ag- |
ricultural College furnishes us with
the following interesting facts, mostly
the result Of his own examinations, In
relation to the length of roots In plants
and trees:
The soil has much to do with the
length and number of roots. In light,
moor soil, 1 find roots of June grass four
feet below the surface. People are apt
to underestimate the length, amoun
and importance of the roots of the finer
grasses, wheat, oats, &c. Some roots
of clover and Indian corn are large
enough TO be seen 10y every one On
aslight examination. A young wheat
plant, when pulled up, only shows q
small part of It's roots. They go down
often four to six feet. 1t needs very
careful examination to show that clo-
yer and Indian corn have any more
weight of roots than June grass. They
probably do not contain more.
The roots of n two-year-old peach
tree in light soil were found seven feet
four inches long. In a dry, light soil,
this season, we pulled up II parsnep
three feet long, and another three and
a half feet long, small roots v still
longer.
The noted buffalo grass on the dry
western prairie, is described in the ag-
ricultural reports at Washington as
having very short roots but Mr.. Eel
ker, one of our college students, found
they went down seven feet.
The roots grow best where the best
food is to be found. They grow in
greater or less quantity in every direc-
ton. If u finds good food, it flour
ishes and sends out numerous branch
es. Many of the smaller roots of trees
die every autumn when the leaves die,
and others grow in spring. Near a
cherry tree in my yard was a rustic
basket without II bottom, filled with
rich soil. On removing the basket and
earth, cherry roots were found in large
numbers near the top of the soil. They
had grown full of small branches where
the soil was good. Roots in soil will
grow up just AS we'll az down, and dc

Cutting Grass Early.

l have been watching n grass field
since last July, part of which was cut
early with a mover, aud the rest left
three weeks later. The square block of
two or three acres IN the center of the
field, which was cut last, seemed al
most killed at the fall. The grass was
timothy, and very little aftermath APP
peared, while the outside Of the field
cut first was bright and green. The
same result appears again this spring,
and l Judge the middle of the field will
not yield II half ton Of hay per acre,
while the outside may 20 up to a ton
and II half. The meadow il past its
best, and il the owner il wise he will
plow 1t up and plant i, this sprlng pre-
paratory to re-seeding. Even here the
lack of growth last fall must make this
part of the sod less valuable, ever for
blowing under. Add 10 this that the
early cut grass was the best for hay and
II makes n strong case fol- early cutting.
1t is equally important for clover, and
indeed unless clover il kept very close
ly cut, or pastured the second season.
30 as to prevent its seeding, II is rarely
worth keeping for grass the third pear.

How Reformcrx Reform.

A good illustration of the clap-trap
there was and is in the talk of the
"Reform" and "Pure Party" bleaters
.againat the Republican party is found
in the Sixth Iowa District. There
Mr.. f. N. Gates was the Anti-Mo-
nopoly, Democratic, Reform candi-
dat, for Congress last fall. One
CLARK, of the Jasper county hide
pendent, did much to secure the NOM
ination for Gates and supported him
heartily through the campaign. In
return tor this, Clark claims that
Gates contracted with him for large
subscription to his paper, which Gates
refuses to pay since he wasn't elected.
Clark sues him for scventy-six dollars,
and the case has gone into the courts.
Still. Hutchings, formerly shining
light Of the Democracy Of Dubuque.
and more latterly claquer for the
"reform" party at St. Louis, where he
was made State Senator, is shown
conclusively to have received a regu-
lar salary of $500 per month from
the gamblers Of St. Louis, to warn
them Of intended raids.
These are fair illustration of the in
tegrity Of noisy political rcformers
who are wont to cry "Republican
corruption with barn-door
mouths. -Muscdtine journal.
