what poisonous. In case of getting pois-
oned in using it the Hydrated Ioxide Of
Iron is the remedy, and is sure as an anti
dote, so says Prof. Riley. Several used
some in this vicinity with good results and
received no bad effect from the use of it.
And before closing let me say that no
doubt there are farmers before me in this
house that you ask them if they have ever
been troubled with the potato bug they
will at once say no honestly too, when in
facts they were last summer but did not
discover it, there being but few the first
year. Why think 20 is because last sea-
son after found had the potato beetle
and grubs in my garden l was out one
day riding and as passed by a farmers
house | saw him in the garden and asked
him if he had any of the pests on his vines
here; no SIR, says he,n0t bug. His vines
were free from them. Says l, frie nd dom
be too sure of that think you have q
few. | got out of my wagon and went
into his garden and the first hill l examin-
ed l found some leaves that had the arabs
on Mt work, also some that had eggs on
them. This man was surprised, us he never
supposed he had anything of the kind, he
had seen the striped bug, the real potato
bug, but could not find out that he had done
any injury to the vines. He had never
thought to look for grubs or eggs. This
was not the only case of the same kind,
and the fact is, there were but few came
last year and many of you no doubt think
you had none in your fields and gardens
when in fact you did, but there being but
few OF them at first you would not discov-
er it unless you looked close, while if you
mad them and they are suffered to in.
crease us they have west in few years
they will ruin good field of potatoes.
call your attention TO this fact so you may
he on the lookout for them in the future.
When you see the large Colorado bug on
vines you may know the females are lay
ing their eggs, and that those eggs are
making qrHbS that eat the leaf and then
turn into beetle again, most of them.
AT first, say the first year, they do no
perceptably damage to the crop and may
not much the second year, but if allowed
10 increase on the potato fields right along
without any attention. it is feared they will
become SO numerous ms to ruin whole
fields as they have in the west, and it is
best Tor our farmers TO be vigilant in this
matter and look after them close us the
Old adage is " forewarned is forearmed,n
and | trust that our farmers will look after
these fellows next season and ago for
them" us the term is, and give them no
peace until you eradicate them from your
vines and you will be amply paid for the
time spent in so doing. You will please ex-
cuse me gentlemen of the board and la
dies and gentlemen for occupying so
much valuable time. But if have inter
ested any of you 50 that you may give
thought to my subject which has been
treated in practical way and cause you
to arrest the progress of this pest of the
potato if he puts in an appearance next
season, then | shall feel that my efforts
here have net been entirely fruitloss, and
shall not regret that took II part in this
meeting.

| am satisfied that oats and barley are
not the most profitable grains to feed Al
the prices named. The weight of the fouI
bushels would be 161 pounds, while two
bushels of corn and bran each would
weigh 1852 pounds, costing only $500
leaving u balance of 81 cents; think
should prefer the latter Mt the same price.
Although some good people see ruin
staring us in the face because we buy some
western grain, think there is little dan
ger of our Initiating the example of the
man who always had money twice each
year, once when he sold his grain and
again when he sold bis hides.
The old practice, not quite out of date, !
am sorry to say, of seeing how many ami
mails can be kept alive through the winter
upon given amount Of fodder, should be
abandoned.
| well remember how the stock looked
as it was turned out to pasture; the colts
shed their coats in installments, while the
young cattle looked like dried beef.
The COWS were driven out to the wood
road to browse. One. more hapless than
the rest, tried 10 pick up Il few slraws by
the bee house; ut night she was found
dead; an inquest was held; the verdict
was, 6 she got cast but that deceived no
one; the old COW starved to death.
One fact is noteworthy; persons who
have tried liberal feeding and warm sta
bles do not return to the old practices,
there is no danger of that the great dan
ger to-day is that ignorance and prejudice
will prevent the bulk of our dairymen
from adopting advanced methods until we
are driven out of our own markets by our
more enterprising western dairymen, who
feed grain largely, and consequently
make good quality of butter

Ice.

Ii is not yet too late for those farmers
who have delayed till now, TO secure ;
supply of ice for next summers comfort
We know man who got in his stock las
season the 2Sth of May, from ice piled be
side the highway by the breaking up,
some time before There is no secret MOI
much trouble in keeping ice; the whole
thing may be summed up in a word, Saw
dust We know plenty of farmers who
pile their ice in an open shed. (having
first thrown down flooring of boards
and put on foot or so in depth Of saw
dusty pat up pen about it which vii
hold the sawdust, leaving a space arounC
the ice Of fifteen or eighteen inches. Fill
this space and one depth over the top will
sawdust, and you will have ice in plenty,
provided you put it in.
Once having the comfort and profit o.
ice you would not be without it. When
You 90 off to hoeing on the " hill pasture

put in the pail with some milk, or if vor
prefer, some water with n handful of oat

About the Calves.

Well boys, how are the calves coming
out this spriug? Have they had few tur-
nips Or bcets, and little bran every day
If they have, and what good hay they
could eat beside, they arc now looking
pretty well, and their old coats starting n
little as these warm days come on.
If they have not had good keeping and
care, if they are poor and lick themsel es
great deal, rubbing when and where they
can, you will probably find lice on them if
you examine them closely, and the sooner
they are off the sooner you will have your
calves in a condition where feed will do
them good, for they can't grow much
when there is so much uneasincss and dis.
comfort as the lice cause.
How kill the lice? Well, W. have seen
good many remedies prescribed, and
tried some. Kerosene seemed to agree
well with the lice on calves we have seen
it tried on yellow snuff has not always
proved u sure cure, and we fancied the
calves got some into their mouths, even
when we used it as carefully us seemed
possible, ard that was not good for the
calves. Mucural ointment is II dead sure
thing for lice, and calves too, if the utmost
care is not taken in lis use, and so danger
Gus it should never he resort d to except
in EXTREMIST cases. The safest, best
thing we have ever tried, is sui hur rubbed
on the brisket and behind, between the
legs, on their backs and necks ;try dirt or
sand, or road dust, with few ashes and u
little sulphur mixed in, in severe cases.
A few applications of this kind at intervals
of week, to kill what hatch between
times will effect cure. Then they should
have some of the bran and turnips or Il
few potatoes and little meal,-they will
like it amazingly well. Bring them to
grass in good condition, and with little
careful carding, teach them 10 be gentle
and tame; when they learn they have no
harm to fear, but rather some pleasure to
expect when they see you, 81 shall they
enjoy life, thrive exceedingly, and put
money in your purse.

cans to send to the cities; some of it he
boiled more and more, so that it would be

In late gnumber of the Watchman
its agricultural editor goes for the horny
handed, " and by implication, for the edu.
cational powers-that. be, in the following
ferocious manner:
WASTES OF THE FARM.
The loss to the farmers of Vermont by
the bad and careless handling of Their
manure cannot be less than three million
dollars year. The loss from general
bad management, imperfect tillage, the
use of poor Seed late cutting of hay,
stinted or improper feeding of stock, etc.
etc, would be ridiculously understated at
the same figure. The loss by imperfect
manufacture ofbutter and,cheese is figured
by good authority at two million dollars
annually. Part of the loss is due to lazi-
ness and shiftlessness, for which there is
no cure but death. We should, however,
be doing in Justice 10 the character of our
people to allow that the principal loss is
due to that cause. Seven-eighths of the de-
ticiency must be charged to the lack OF
special knowledge, among our farmers, OF
AttN'S lSIttIuS " IuCll own business, and
this in consequence of defective education
in youth.
Three quarters, at the least, of tho men
and women, to-day, engaged in rural labor
in Vermont are unaware, and are so i'll
educated that they cannot be made aware
of the simple, primary facts and conditions
upon which successful farming depends,
There is no possible way of reaching their
minds with these facts because they have
not had that early mental training and in
struction by which alone the human mind
is fitted to receive and make use of know
ledge.
That the branches of learning having
direct connection with the duties of prac-
tical life should be taught in the public
schools by competent teachers, is admitted
by intelligent people everywhere. But one
trouble in Vermont is under all that. We
do not give, in our district schools, that in.
struction in reading, writing and speaking
the common vernacular tongue which will
enable any, save few of the very bright

But come to the open door.

MY TREASURES.
My treasures are a pair of eyes
That are all the world to me,
pair of pretty dimpled hands,
AS white as white can be;
Two little feet scarce biz enough
To fill the dainty shoe;
pair of pouting, laughing lips,
Like cherries cut in two,
Two little sea shell cars have,
To list for words OF love;
A forehead arChed with regal p.ide,
And dark brown hair above;
Soft, shining tresscs twinns rpund
My fingers as stand,
And count the blue veins plainly markell,
In that fair, soft, warm hand.
And more than all my treasure
Is a woman's trusting love.
A wealth beyond all measure,
The " worlds goods far above;
A womau's smile of gladness,
Making darkest days seem bright;
~ laugh dspelliug sadness,
That makes the load seem light

to master us fur as possible the sciences
having direct bearing and practical val-
lie on their business:
UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT AND STATE

will admit, and the instruction will be cs-
pecially adapted to meet the wants OF
farmers and stock raisers. Fee for the

WASHING DAY.-NIrs. Henry Ward
Beecher in the Household Department -
of the Christian Union, favors the contin-
uance of custom by which Monday is rec
ognized as the family washing day. The
strongest argument against it, is that con-
siderable preliminary work over night is
required, which involves II violation of the
Sabbath. But nearly all such prepara-
ton can in fact be made just us we'll on
Saturday night. The putting to soak of
the soIod garments discarded on Satur-
day night, need no. involve five minutes
extra work Clothes will wash much
easier for long soaking, and will look
cleaner afterwards. Washing on Monday
gives ample time to have the house in Or
der on Saturday night. But if the wash
ing be postponed until the middle
of the week, unfavorable weather
may prevent the clothes from being dried
and ironed by the end of the week,

A PERMANENT HOME.-To have home
which Il man has himself reared or pur-
chased-a home which he has improved
or heautlled-a home. indeed, which,
with honest pride aud natural love he
calls his owns an additional security for
any mau's virtue Such home he leaves
with regret; to it he gladly returns. There
he finds innocent and satisfying pleasure.
There his wife and little ones are happy
and safe, and there his best affections cen
ter and grow. To such pair, rs time
advances, the abode of their early and
middle life, whence, perhaps, they have
all departed, becomes constantly more
dear; for it is now scene Of pleasant
memories-the undisturbed declining
years! And say, what lapse of time, what
varied experience of prosperity or sorrow
can ever efface the good impression made
by such n home in the tender heart of
childhood? 70 the tempted youth, to
the wandercr from virtue, to the sud vic
tim of misfortune, such remembrance has
often proved II strengthening monitor or a
healing balm. Nor can this kindly inhu-
ence wholly fail SO long as the dear OBJ
jects Of that family scene retain place in
the memory, connected, us they insepara-
bly, are, with thoughts of Il fathers coun-
sci, II mothers tenderness, u sisters purity
and IL brothers love.
