The Journal of Commerce.

we can well understand the pride
the Germans Of Chal lesion felt in thc
establishment Of the Journal of~tom-
mc,cc. They had long been without
medium through which they could
reach the public, and in whose
columns their friends and their
interests were guaranteed fair play.
In their municipal elections they had
been Ignored or abused, and it.. was
meet and proper that they should
spend their money in equipping a
newspaper not at war with their
hopes and ambitions. Foremost
among tlosc Of the Germans who de-
sired The publication Of free and
outspoken Democratic paper in Char
lesion, was Capt, T. w. Wagcucr.
Being q leading citizen and Il large
property holder, and having pride in
his nationality, he could not do othcv
than dctcst the course Of the Ncps
owf Courier towards his people,
Hence his deep desire to found a
new paper in the city by the sea; and
hence his unwcarying watch over the
career Of the Joarnal Of Commerce.
But despite thes facts; despite the
large number Of friends the new
journal has, it fi.iIs to compare with
its great rival. 10 he sure we say
this in sorrow, but it is, nevertheless,
u fact. But friends of the Journal Of
Commerce tell us that the Associate
Press dispatches are withheld from
it, and that its proprietors have to get
their news through another channel.
That may be so, but it is not in tele-
graphic intelligence alone that the
"straightout" organ is deficient. All
over it, OH its editorial page us we'll
as i'll its makc-up, it lacks The clc-
mcnts ofn first-class newspaper. The
greatest and most momcntous questions
may pass unnoticcd in its columns.
OF course the fault is apparent to
men, accustomed to the harness, but
it is not our business to point il out.
No. Let ours be the more pleas
ing task Of imrortuning It's conluc-
tors to throw more light and vigor
upon it. More matter! more matter
is what it wants. We have had
enough soup, give us the substantials
now. Let us know something about
the city ring What Of the frauds
the Journal o/ Commerce was TO un-
earth III connection with its munici
pal government Surely it has not
claspcd hands with Cunningham AM
Mackcy Then, up and at 'cm.
How, too, about the indictments
against Tim Hurley rs Treasurer and
Cunningham as County Commission
cr? Have they been settled to the
satisfaction Of the Jou,mui IF Com-
mcrcc ? A curious public would like
to know.

Mr.. Prlngle's Success.

We clip from the New Hampshire Mirror
and Farmer the following estimate of the re.
suits of the abors of G. G. Pringle of Char
lotte, in the work of hybridizing and thus
securing new and choice varieties of articles
of food. We know from our personal ac.
quaintance that Mr.. Pringle, while he does
not disregard the mercantile aspect of the
results, is much more intent on producing a
superior article. If from old varieties such
results could be secured rs have rewarded
the efforts of Mr.. Pringle and Mr.. Brownell
may we not expect still greater from such
stock as they now have from which to work L?
All from the faithful, patient, and often thank
less efforts of these men we are enjoying such
luxuries for our tables as we could not have
but for their enthusiasm and patient fidelity.
Vermont has reason to be proud of such men
and their works
The Alpha is considered the earliest potato
in cultivation, it being fit for the table ten or
twelve days before the Early Rose, while its
dwarfsh habits make it well adapted to
forcing under glass and growing large crops
on small areas. Its color and shape are
desirable, being white, smooth and oblong
and the fact Of 1907 pounds, (2S4 bushesl
having been raised from one pound Of seed is
guaranty of prolifcness
The Snowflake and the Ruby are origina-
tions Of Mr.. Pringe, the former being so
extensively cultivated that no words of mine
are necessary to convince the farmer that
for smooth hness Of skin and surface, and fine,
dry, starch-like grain it is exceled by no va
rlety in general cultivation.
The Ruby organized from Early Rose
hybridized with the White PeachbIow, aud
has many points to commend and few to con-
demn it, but so many in equal rank with
others now before tho public that it is wei.
coined only by those desiring to raise fash
ionable potatoes.
The COuqueror Tomato | have raised
for the last two years, and in comparison
with other varieties have found it to be
earlier than any other except the small
Cherry. But this year Mr., Prngle is fairly
outdoing himself by introducing the Little
Gem, cross of the Conqueror, Red Cur.
rant and two other varieties. 1t is of uni
form size, bright red color, prolific, and "the
earliest variety known." 1t is sal d to be two
weeks earlier than any other variety.

Remedies.

The farmer who winters twenty-five lousy
cattle wastes at least FIVE tons Of hay on the
lice, while there Is large account running
up against him for "cruety to animals"
One would think by the assurance with
which men recommend remedies for lousy
cattle, that it was one of the simplest things
in the world to get rid of lice. A man dis
covered that among his cattle the only one
free from lice was bull, and also that in
stead of being covered with lice he was GOV.
cred with dirt. The man did not, reasoning
from analogy, go and swap all his cows for
bulls, but went and dirtied the backs of them
all, when, presto; change! every louise was
gone. Another says, put some oil along the
backs Of the cattle and the lice will die, for
they cannot live in oil. lie forgot to tell
how to induce them to crawl up into tho oil
and kill themselves. Another man of my
acquaintance says, lico will leave whole
flock Of native calves and iasten to one
Shorthorn, if there is one among them. So
he says get Durham calf. Some say a
Jersey will do as well.
My remedy is tobacco smoke. Have tried
many remedies, but never found anything so
cheap, so easy to apply and so effectual as to-
bacco smoke. cover the animal with
rubber blanket and by the use of fumiga.
tor that any one almost could make, blow
the smoke all over the animal beneath the
blanket. But it takes FIRE to make smoke
and fire about tho barn is not desirable
You see it is just as easy to kill the lice on
cattle as it is to make glossy brown hair of
gray, or to make it grow thick, heavy and
fine on bald old heads. The difficulty in both
cases is, doubtless, want of thorough treat
ment. SHORT HAND.

gtterary gutrs.

For two or three weeks, while we have
bee n attending agricultural meetings in va
rious parts of the state, periodicals of all
kinds have accumulated on our table. First
of all comes the Second Annual Report of the
Patrons Aid Society of Elmira, N. Y. II is
m utual life insurance society of grangers
1t has board of executive officers at or
near Elmira, while its directors are more
widely scattered over the country. The Ma
sonic fraternity, Odd Fellows and other So
cieties have such organizations, and thus far
they have been quite successful in place of
what may strictly be called life insurance
We have been n member of one such organ
ization but allowed our policy to lapse. We
have read this report with great interest,
but find no table of rates." so that we can
not say how much it costs to insure in it, and
we will add that table of rates is IN indis-
pensable appendage of all life insurance
rates. We fully believe, from our study and
familiarity with life insurance matters, that
the farmers of Vermont might organize a
mutual aid or insurance society on their
lives as well and successfully as they have
on their property. And we will we
will speak about it again; it demands atten-
tion.

A REAL WANT.-These are the words of
Hon. h. d. Mason, president of the Ver-
mont Dairymen's Association, aud they are
the honest utterances of one of the first far
mers of the state, Not only that, but they
voice the feelings of scores and hundreds of
other farmers who will devoutly thauk Mr..
Mason for giving utterance to their own
feelings which were pent up and waiting for
expression
The dairymen and farmers Of Ver-
mont need an experiment station or farm
where the numerous and perpexing questions
that arise 10 our vocation can be tested and
settled have no doubt that such a station
would pay many times its cost to the dairy
men and farmers Of the state each year and
l hope steps viii be taken at this meeting
to secure such station or farm We need
better dairy stock, more feed and better care,
a larger yield per COW, and better quality,
which will surely give better prices and glad
den the heart Of the dairymen and farmers.
We need better system of cultivation, more
fertilizers aud better application, which will
give larger and better crops. We need
moro work aud less idleness, more economy
and less waste and extravaganza. We need
better system of marketing farm products,
aud above all better aud higher education
for ourselves aud our families, that we may
better discharge our duties as citizens of our
noble state,

The Stone-Boat.

Three things may be attached to stone-
boat, that are worth having at times. One
is ring attached to the hind end by sta
pie through the piece of timber TO which the
planks are fastened. The ring should be Of
half inch round iron, made large enough to
take hold of with one hand easily. 1t will
be wonderfully handy to pull the boat back,
or lift it around by, especially when it is wet,
muddy, and slippery.
The second is q tongue or pole, which
may be fastened to the boat In some such
manner as poles are sometimes fastened to
seds that is, by sort of staple and strap
hinge arrangement, so that it may be taken
oft or put on easily and quickly, simply by
removing or replacing two nuts
Third. Shoes on the bottom, under the
raves. They may be made of two by two
inch seasoned maple, such stuff as was once
quite commonly used to shoe slcds WITH aud
fastened on with wooden pins which should
pass through the shoes, planks and raves.
Sometimes we wish to draw a very heavy
stone down hill. 1t would be easier to load
it upon a stone-boat than upon sled or
wagon. Without the pole it would run upon
the heels of the team and perhaps spoil
horse or an OK. Without the shoes it would
run around and get in ahead of the team,
or slue off the side-hill. But with both aud
a good teamster it will go safely. A stone
boat without either, is good thing, almost
indispensable. But there are circumstances
under which these three things are very de.
sirable. SILAs HOPKINS.

WHEN cattle are choked with potatoes,
apples, or the like, sure aud harmless cure
can be effected. Take piece OF lard the
size of hens egg work into il table spoon
ful of gun powder, raise the animals head,
pull out the tongue aud put the ball down the
throat. In three minutes the creature will
eat as though nothing had happened, and
will not be sick, as must inevitably be the

"a, EVENING SESSION.
O. Horace Hubbard gave an address OF
Draining Wet Lands. Wet soils produc,
less, poorer quality, smaller specimens and
in every way inferior quality. He then CAV,
accounts Of experiments in this and foreigr
lands to show the value of drains, and tb,
frequency Of laying them and method o.
doing the work, and an illustration of the
bencdcent results Of draining, where on o
swale where they could not drive team to
NOW or get of the course grass when cut
now il is fine grass. The address was brieI
but wholly sensible and practical.
Mrs. Geo. II. Vaughan read crisp, sensi
bic and practical paper on Work and Recre.
alton for Farmers Wives, and Mrs. A. b
Jaquith's paper Oh Flower Gardening both Of
which we hope to publish.
Prof 6fessy gave the last lecture on Vet.
erinary Science, speaking of diseases of sheep.
Gid is numerous or tape worm parasite
growing in the brain. II is not grub in the
head, which is grub in the nose, similar to
the bot in horses, and proves poor care.
The thread-worm is about the size of thread
and one or two inches long, and troubles
calves and sheep. They form in the bron.
chial tubes in as large masses as walnut,
and Vermont can furnish many specimens of
this disease. The telescoping the bowels
may be cured by carefully lifting the sheep
up by the hind legs, or stretchiog it over the
fence. Some sheep eat all right and then
die from gorging themselves. Altogether it
was very fine lecture though most Of it we
have reported at other meetings. The value
OF Prof. Cressy's course Of lectures in Yer.
mont this winter is almost beyond compute,
not only in the direct results but in stimulat-
ing inquiry and fostering demand as well
as desire for more thorough and practical
veterinary science. The sentiment of the
people was well expressed in the appended
resolutions followed by "Old Hundred" and
one of the best farmers meetings in New
England closed to the satisfaction of all,
even to the members of the press" who did
not get a vote of thanks.
ReSOlued That we. citizens of Vermont and
representing the great farming industries of
our state, in view of the rare excellence,
timely and Incompatible value OF Prof Noah
Cressy's lectures, hereby express to him our
gratitude for coming to our state in this SER
vice.

"POTATo PESTS" is the title of small

Co. of New York. 1t is prepared by Prof.
Chas. > Riley, state entomologist of Missouri.
Though Prof. Riley gives his attention chiefly
to the genuine Colorado bug, with full direc-
tons for his exterminatlon he pays his res
poets to other pests, as may be seen from this
list OF those which he mentions The Stalk

ANSWER FOR ME.
By R. II. sToDpARp,

What would do for you, my dear,
III to day could be lord Of my llfei
Suppose that we both wore sitting here,
Mere man and woman, not husband, wife.
Would your faded face bo fair, and your brow
What but the wrinkles there would | sect
Would love you then as do nowi-
But you shall answer, dear, for mo.
love not easily, love but few.
Light come light go, is not my way.
No one has known my heart but you,
And you not its deeps, as you shall to-day,
Put your hand on it, and feel II beat
Where is the other impossible she
Can quicken 1t, kneeling at my feeti-
But you shall answer, sweet, for me.
Love is forever, aud only one;
For when 1t enters surrendered hearts
1t is as the supreme master-none
Can dispossess him till life departs,
And none succeed of royal line.
Vacant the darkened throne must be,
If desolation should fall on mine
But you shall answer, love, for me.
III were king Of the world, my love,
You could not be moro my queen than now;
You would have the same old lover here,
Except that his crown would be on your brow.
Can anything be too good for you
That king may give you Ask and 500
Name me the thing that will not do
For you shall answer, wife, for me.
