Our readers will remember our freouent
protest against growing potatoes to sell to
starch factories, or to ship away, at prices
below the point of profit BY this folly
many Vermont farmers are running out
their farms even more rapidly than they
could do by selling off their hay crop. Pota.
toes have been low this year, and many
farmers have still quite stock of them Oh
hand. The Maine crop was also large, and
a Maine drover, writing in the Farmer of
that state, advises that the surplus crop be
fed out to fatting cattle. He says " | once
purchased two growthy two-year.old steers,
six feet in girth, for seventy-fve dollars /;
aud potatoes being very low, fed them all
they would eat three times per day, with
good English hay, just three months; and
shipped them to Brighton market Their
girth was seven feet, and they sold in the
market for two hundred dollars, a price
equal to any Western steer of the same
weight and it proved profitable operation.

yearold steers for one hundred dollars, pay.

six feet five inches, and were fat, and found
it lucrative trade | have purchased in
some towns two steers with just as good
frames and build, but poor for Just half of
the above amount and lost money on them.

What the Moon Saw.

Yesterday" said the moon to me, al
looked down upon small courtyard, sur
rounded on all sides by houses. In the
courtyard sat clucking hen, with eleven
chickens; and pretty little girl was run
ming and jumping around them. The hen
was frightened, and screamed, and spread
out her wings over the little brood. Then
the girls father came out and scolded her.
and glided away and thought no more over
the matter. But this evening, only few
minutes ago, ! looked down into the same
courtyard. Everything was quiet. Bat
presently the little girl came forth again,
crept quietly to the hen-house, pushed back
the bolt, and slipped into the apartment of
the hen and chickens. They cried out loudly,
and came flutteIing down from their perches,
aud ran about in dismay, and the little kiri
ran after them. | saw it quite plainly, for
looked through hole in the hen-house wall.
was angry with the wilful child, and felt
glad when her father came out and scolded
her more violently than yesterday, holding
her roughly by the arm. She held down her
head, aud her blue eyes were full of large
tears. What are you about here p he asked.
She wept and said, Il wanted TO kiss the
hen, and beg her pardon for frightening her
yesterday, but was afraid to tell YOU And
the father kissed the innocent child's fore
head, and kissed her on the mouth and
eyes. Hons Chrisiian Aadsrsen

Worth Thinking About.

1t is very often said that large per cent.
OF the total number of dairy cows in Yer
mont pay no profit at all to their owners,
and that no uncomfortable number are kept
at an absolute loss. How these facts are ar
rived at we are not informed. If all our
farmers are so wise as we are sometimes told
that they are-needing no more knowledge,
nor any better ducation-it certainly seems
strange that they should persist in working
over so many cows that do not pay Can it
be that they do it just for the fun of it, or
to keep themselves out of idleness But
would it not be just as funny, and perhaps
more so, to do something else that would
pay, while they were raising better lot
of cows
All but the best butter is very low in the
market, hardly paying the cost of produc.
ton, even when the yield per COW is consid.
erably over the average. Yet if it is true
that so many cows are yielding so little but.
ter that they would not pay expenses at the
very highest prices, are not the unfortunate
owners of such cows not only losing money
on those cows, but also bearing their own
market, as the stock brokers would say, with
the product of these very cows To make
the question more plain, does not the butter
thus made, without profit go into market,
and, by the surplus it produces, actually re-
duce the price of the butter made from COWS
that are paying a profit Would it not be
good policy to make beef at once of those
Improbable cows, so as to stop the direct
loss on them, and also stop the loss caused
by the competition of their butter with the
butter of cows that pay? And then would
it not be wise to buy good butter bull, and
raise calves from the best COWS which we
have saved, to take the place of those sold :
by the time that those calves come to milk,
the times might become better

Large Oaks from Little Acorns Crow

Messrs. Editors IL have no doubt that
among the many earnest readers of the
WATcHMAN there are large number of
children who sometime will be asked by
their teachers in school to write compost
tlons. And am sure that some of them
will think it very hard task. But it seems
that there was one little boy who did not
think so, about whom his teacher was tell
ing me few days ago In school at Ii
conderoga, N. Y. some years ago, the teacher
told all the scholars in her school who were
In the grammar class to write compost
ton. All seemed to think that they were
not old enough yet. Some said that they
"never could do il anyway.' But it seems
that there was one boy in the school-not in
the grammar class-who thought he could
do it, and so, after school, he asked the teacher
II he might write composition, too-he is
now celebrated lecturer, known as Joseph
Cook. "To be sure you may" said his
teacher. And SO among the compositions
handed in, was found the following, which
the teacher has copied for me to send you:
''THE Cow.-Ihe COW is good animal She has
two horns and two eyes, and gives milk which is
good TO eat. She has four legs and eats grass and
hay Some of them are red and they have long
tails. FLAvIus JosEPHus Cook,
In his seventh year"
(Copy-Mrs, S. J, b. Wdraer)
wonder if any Of the children who read
this will ever say, al never can do it any
way" when their teacher asks them to write
composition A. HoLBRooK.

For she thought that her beauty would ncer be known

All alone from the great blue sky
Where cloudy vessels went scuddlng by

The larger ships Of the snowy feet.
She was very tired, but couldn't stop
On tall church spire or chimney top;
All the way from her bright abode
Down to the dust Of a country road
There she rested, all out Of breath
And there she speedily met her death;
And nobody could exactly tell
