How SHALL We USE Hen MANURE?-
In this article will try to explain how

to hear from other farmers how they use
theirs. clean my poultry houses every
Saturday morning, In one house have

and in the third house forty-eight head

from them weigh forty-four pounds every
week. During the months of July, August
and September had one hundred head
AS soon as | have my poultry houses
cleaned, take the manure and spread il
over my wheat field, or on u poor spot in
my meadow, and you can take my word
that man with half an eye can see where
put it. To put hen manure in box OIL
barrel and keep it one year before it is put
to crop, | think is n wrong way. What
would you think of man who had one
hundred dollars ready to put at interest,
but would keep it Il year before he put ii
cut? My opinion is, the sooner you give
your hen manure to the needy soil, the
sooner you get the profit from it. Not
long ago l visited certain man and tc

hen manure lying in his large poultry

CHARCOAL FOR HoGs.-We have bu
little doubt that charcoal is one of tn,
best known remedies for the disordereC
state into which hogs drift, usually having
disordered bowels, all the time giving of
the worst kind of excavations. Probabl,
the best form in which charcoal can be
given is in the form of burnt corn
perhaps, because when given in othe,
forms the hogs do not get enough.

MORE EGGs.-The gre; reason why we
have no more eggs in the winter is that
the hens have not comfortable quarters
nor requisite food. The hen is tender
animal. She is an exotic in this cold
climate and wants II warm bedroom and Il
comfortable nursery. IF we compel hnr
to sleep on fence or on tree, and to Law
her eggs where the snow can sift upon
them and the frost can crack them, she
will lay very few. Under such circum-
stances she has little energy in this direc-
ton and knsws too much to. waste what
little she has. Comfort is the concomitant
of egg production, and food the great
forerunner. In summer hens. if allowed
the free run of the farm, can scratch for a
living and pick up seeds, grubs and per-
feet insects to supply all demands for the
raw material from which eggs are manu-
featured. In winter this supply fails, and
the eggs of course fail An egg is essen
TALLY animal food; in fact it contains the
elements of a perfect animal, the chick.
Hence it requires for its manufacture in
winter some substitute for the insects
which the hens eat in summer. Comfor-
table quarters and mixed animal and
vegetable diet are therefore. the great
secrets of egg production in winter. The
animal food is best furnished in the form
of animal meal. This is made at our
large abbattoirs in great quantities by
steaming the bones and refuse parts of the
animal, and then drying and grinding
them. This meal costs but little more
than corn meal, and quart of it mixed
with three or four quarts of corn meal, and
wheat bran will furnish hens Just the raw
material for making eggs. We have tried
1t and know. Some Recommend adding
to this mash n little red pepper. And this
is good stimulant, but we have not found
it necessary .-Jomrnat Of Agricu'turc.

Waking the Dog.

There is an old proverb, Do not wake
the sleeping dog" and it contains wisdom
in solid chunks. Prof. Peter Collier,
chemist of the agricultural department at
Washington. has been waking the con-
gressional dog, as near as we can cipher
it out, and old "Towser is in anything
but an amiable mood at being disturbed
Prof. Collier, in his recent visit east
spoke pretty freely in regard TO the work.
ing of the department, Of the small means
available for conducting valuable expert
ments, and remarked, as indicative of the
great interest felt in agriculture by the
average congressman, that the committee
on agriculture did not have meeting
during the last regular session of congress.
We Judge that this racket Weakened tho
sleeping dog, and he is just bowling for
blood.
The committee have,had meeting, and
are now discussing the propriety of abol-
ishing the department altogether, and then
Prof. Collier would be punished, and Mr..
lie Duc-whom they don't like-got rid
or. But what would the members do for
seeds to send out to their constituents, and
for bouquets for their button holes and
parlorso Perhaps that is what Mr.. Covert
means when he says that "all the legiti,
mute duties Of the organization could be
better and more economically performed
by other branches of the government"
Possibly it may be wise for this commit
tee dog to confine his violence TO gentle
howls, and not bite, Or he may rouse an
other sleeping dog" great generous,
careless fellow, who, doing his duty nobly,
pulling the country out of more than one
sea of difficulty, has all the while let little
politicians pull his ears and tie tin kettles
of debt and taxes to his TAIL with entire
carelessness and equanimity of temper.
If he gets loused, small politicians will
have TO hunt cover.
We of Vermont have been ably and
honorably represented in congress, and as
expounders of law and finance Collamer
and EImunds and Morrill, have ranked as
peers of Webster and Sumner and Fes-
sender. The probabilities are that Mr.
ElmundS' place will soon be vacant, and
we should like to see man of ability
there, with some interest in, and leaning
toward, agriculture, man who coming
home from abroad is able to tell us not
only of the sights set down in guide books,
but of the farm life of Europe, what crops
they raise, and how they raise them, how
much fertilizers they apply, how much
rent they pay, and the various details of
f,rm life. We believe Gov, Smith is Just
such n man, and if we had him at the head |
of an agricultural committee in congress |
we will venture there would be found agri- |
cultural business enough TO have several |
meetings of IN agricultural committee.
anil that its work might be of immense
advantage to our country.
Just now there are questions of great
interest to be solved; one of them Prof
Collier discussed, raising sugar from
sorghum and corn, and he should have
ample means and opportunities to de-
termine the question as fully and certainly
as possible. Brother farmers, l guess
it's time we looked after these things
little.

FEEDING HoRsEs.-A great diversity Of
opinion prevails as to the best methods Of
feeding horses, and mistakes are frequently
made by neglecting to give suitable atten.
ton to the matter. We have known
farmers who were accustomed to throw q
lock of hay to their horses several times
during the forenoon or afternoon, and
when not at work the horses would be
kept eating nearly the whole day, con.
suming much more hay on such days than
they would require when at work This
practice cannot fail to iniurc u horse
seriously if continued any length of time
Horses are frequently injured by over
feeding. A horse should no more have all
the hay he can eat than child should have
all the bread or fruit he can eat. Regu-
arity and moderation are MS important in
the one case as in the other. Driving
horses are sometimes fed on cut straw and
meal without any hay, or very little,
This is good food for horses, as has been
proved in many instances. Some believe
that six or eight quarts of meal per day,
with fifteen to twenty pounds of good hay.
is enough for any horse, and better than
more. OF course II horse that works all
the time needs more food than one that
does but little. Some horses consume and
seem to need more food than others doing
the same werk. The hay should be cut, or
mostly so and fed with meal, wet. Cracked
corn to be fed with oats part of the
time is recommended by some. Smoky
hay is specially liable to induce cough,
and should be carefully avoided. If horses
are fed mostly on hay it should be of good
quality, well cured and fed in small
quantities three times Il day. But it is the
opinion of those best acquainted with
horses that they can be kept in good
condition cheaper by feeding some grain
than by giving them lry alone, and if
horses are in constant use grain in some
form is II ncccssily.-Rccord and Farmer.

The demand for heavy horses is great,
and nothing like 1t has occurred for fifteen
years. Formerly everybody bred for
speed and endurance, and seldom had
anything TO offer beyond twelve or thirteen
hundred pounds, working weight. But
latterly, Percherons and Clydesdales have
been imported to considerable extent,
and have been bred to natives, common
stock, and full and halfblood thorough
bred mares, so that many fine, large horses
have been added to the studs of the coun.
try, But the demand far exceeds the
supply, and is likely to for the next ten
years. We see few better chances for
investment, therefore, for those properly
situated, and having the necessary capital
and experience. There has been no time
since the war when sound, well-madc

a look at the unequal taxation between
real estate and personal property: For
example we will take the city of Burling
ton, which contains the largest number of
wealthy men and women of any place in
the state, with a population of 1887.
The personal property rs returned by the
assessors is 1885 .420. equal to S23.3l per
capita. Let us compare some Of the agri-
cultural towns with Burlington: Perhaps
as well as any the town of Cambridge,
which, by the way, does not return but a
trife more personal property than there
really is. With population of 1,651, the
returns are $S9,962, equal to S56.76 each
personal---very. twelve and one-half times
that of Burlington. please grant me the
indulgence of making one more COMPARE
son: The town of Colchester with the
thriving manufacturing village of Winoos-
ki has population of SOL; personal
property returned, S54,S3S, equal 10 Sl4.-
OF per capita, compared with the adioin-
ing town of Milton, population, 2,062
personal property, Sl50,490, equal to
S7S.Ol per capita.
Now, gentlemen, while we are aware
that in our rural districts not one-half the
personal property is assessed, and those
returns compared with the small amount
of the Queen city and large villages, it is
plain to be seen tibet real estate owners
and men with nothing but their hands, pay
the taxes.
Never was there time that demanded
of men, old and young, every energy
more than the present, and he who looks
quietly on as though there was nothing tC
do must ere long fall into contempt will
those who wish him well. Who can bu
feel deep interest in the welfare of oul
country and the young men of our land
for upon them depends the future of The
nation. They need to be thoroughly edu

interest TO the farmers Of Vermont.
In the afternoon the dairy interest was
discussed, Mr.. Tinkham giving a talk first
on the matter, followed by n lively discus
sion, taking in feeding, bedding, and
branching off into the use and value of
muck. While there were some who
thought it not profitable to feed grain
more than can be raised on the farm,
others thought they found it profitable to
buy grain to feed their COWS.
Here we visited the well known dairy
man, Mr.. Bronson, whose Jersey herd
took the gold medal in 1878, and the silver
one in 1879. Mr.. Bronson has good COWS
and keeps them well, and is an intelligent
and progressive farmer.
We print papers from the Jacksonville

we visited the home of Mr.. Edwards, who
came here from England when he was

they took such care rs to obtain coed
success; but when, encouraged bv this
they attempted to increase their stock TO
hundreds, then, when the risks were
