The farm animals at this season
are directly dependent upon the
care and attention of the farmer.
To pass the winter with profit
they must be well kept. Animals
are very complicated engines,
and must be run by careful en-.
gineers. The food they receive
is the fuel, and the daily rubbing,
cleaning, etc may be likened to
the inspection, cleaning and oil
ing of the engine, The fuel must
be equal to the demands made OF
the animal engine, else the ma
chinery will be run at a disad
vantage, and therefore with di-
minished profit. When the water
is low and the fire almost out, the
engine is a source of loss to the
owner. On the other hand the
fire may be brisk, and the boiler
we'll supplied, but some screw is
loose, or a part rubs another too
closely and the friction thus pro-
duced neutralizes much of the
force. So in the animal machine,
all the parts must work harmo-
niously together, Oh in other
words there must be perfect
health to obtain the best results.
An animal may have the best of
food in sufficient quantity, and
still pass a hard winter, and with
out profit to its owner. Food of
the best kinds without shelter, is
in the animal economy like fuel
in an engine that is rusty and
loose and out of order. Both are
expensive methods of arriving at
desired results. 1t takes too much
force to run the machine in both
cases. As it is cheaper to have a
good engine kept in good order,
so it is to have an animal in
health and comfort. The thought
full farmer will be see many other
points Of likeness between the
animal machine and the one con
structed by human hands, but
this is enough to suggest the i'm
portance of keepir.g farm animals
in a healthful and comfortable
condition by means Of warm sta
bles with clean floors and pure
air.

witness promptly.
"Do you say that, including the
making up Of your judgment, the

The court prevented the wit

he could only answer as to the
facts that had come under his
own knowledge.

by saying that his brother was
under the influence of a demon,
witness said he and his father be-
lieved there was two forces in the
world. One under Satan or the
devil and the other under Jesus
Christ, these two forces were at
war and at present Satan had too
great and extent OF dominion
over the world at some time in his
brothers life he had allowed his
nature to gain such control over
him he was under the control of
the devil, this was what he meant
when he said he believed his
brother was responsible before
God, though he might not be re-
sponsible before human law.
"You've got that thing wrong

oner sharply.

Speaking of the prisoners in

cents to keep still ten minutes
and the prisoner did not get the
money.

Confederate Bonds.

LONDON, November 26.-The
committee on Confederate bond
holders state that their pro-
gramme is primarily by steady
and persevering appeals, first, to
the public, and then to the legis-
latures of the United States, to
bring about the opinion that the
time has come when the restric-
ton imposed by the Fourteenth
Amendment of the Constitution
should be removed 80 far as it
prohibits the Southern States
from affecting a just and equita-
BILE settlement of their debts le-
gally contracted. The committee
repudiate the idea of embarking
in litigation to recover the Con-
federate property in Europe.

Scoville shows a good knowl.

Scoville shows a good knowl-
edge Of human nature, in not
making the plea Of malpractice.
He confines his plea to insanity,
and sticks to that alone. He
knows that if any other plea was
made, it would greatly weaken
his argument, as it would show,
he IN hopes il might
hit, if the other missed: Besides,
In making nal .practice a plea, he
would antagonize all the doctors,
and the doctor generally, who &C
cuse one another Of NAL practice,
but do not allow an outsider to
do so. By pleading insanity, he
shows that he is honest IN de-
pending on it alone, because he
is insane, and the very sincerity
he shows, will more or less infu-
ence his hearers. 1t is !shrewd
act on Scoyille's part.

virginia Matters POLITICALLY.

The New Orleans Times is prob,
ably mistaken in the following:
"The rupture is said to be I'm
minent already betweenthe lead"
ers of the reputation party in
Virginia, and may prove in the
long run that the solid South is
not so badly broken as was sup
posed to be. 1t appears that dur
ing the late campaign, Cameron,
Readjuster candidate for Govern
or, occasionally over. stepped the
bounds of sobriety, as candidates
in an exciting canvass sometimes
Ndo. For these improprieties he
was taken severely to task by
Senator Malone, much to Came
ron's disgust and Indignation, but
1.-The latter husbanded his vrath
until the returns were made and
elections assured; how that he is
Governor, however, he proposes
TO settle the score at the earliest
opportunity and he has it in his
power to make things very nm
comfortable for Malone. The re.
suits will possibly make them
selves visible about the time the
S~enatoyship and otherofices come
to be filed. With such men as
Cameron and Malone, as rivals;
one leading the white and the
other the black element, it needs
no prophet to foretell the early
dissolution of the triumphant but
disrcputable and incoherent Goa
lition. 1t is very certain that
who is now a genuine

bossed by such a plebean as Ma

The Senate Refunding Bill.

Senator Bayard for the senate finance
committee has reported the refunding bill
to the senate with all the Objectionable
features embraced in the house bill stricken
out. This bill provides for the issuing of
S400,000,000 fve-twenty bonds, and also
S300,000,000 one-ten certificates, each bear
ing three and half per cent interest The
secretary is authorized to use temporarily,
II in his opinion it is necessary, not exceed
ing s50,000,000 of the gold and silver in the
treasury in the redemption of the five and
six per cent bonds, and he may at any time
apply in his discretion the surplus money in
the treasury, not otherwise appropriated, to
the purchase or redemption Of bonds or
treasury notes. The section in the house
bill dragooning the national banks into the
purchase of bonds is stricken out entirely,
but the banks will doubtless find three and
a half per cent bonds at par better invest
ment for term of years than the four and
four and half per cents at the present
market rates. This bill, If it becomes law,
will save to the country over sl2,000,000 an.
nually in interest. 1t is a practicable meas
ure, and though some of its provisions, and
especially its omission of the hostile ma
tional bank section, will encounter the oppo-
sition of the Bourbons, enough will be found
to vote for it to secure its passage.

Biennial Sessions.

The legislature of Massachusetts is strug-
Cling with the biennial session question.
Colonel Higginson, a prominent member of
the legislature, publishes the following char
acteristic letter from Senator Edmunds on
the subject: 81 do not think the change
from annual to biennial sessions of the leg
islature in Vermont has done good, but the
reverse. | am satisfied that it has resulted,
in connection with the one-term idea which
came in with it, in having smaller proper
ton of the members of former experience,
and, in respect of the reelected members,
has left them in condition of less memory
OF and acquaintance of previous legislation
than they had under the annual system. |
believe also that, even in our little state, the
general value of annual sessions, compared
with biennial, is great in respect of keeping
up personal acquaintanceships, communion
and interchange of ideas upon all topics,
from the simplest agricultural and school
district affairs, to the broadcast ones of
finance or politics, among the citizens who
thus assemble. Again, even in as simple a
community as ours, the frequent critical OBJ
servation and overhauling of every depart
ment Of the administration is, think, of
immense value as preventive, as well as
corrective, of bad or negligent administra
ton. In all these respects and many Others
that may be mentioned, | think the annua
meetings Of the representative men of q
commonwealth are worth hundred times
what they cost"

United States supreme court. He sits up
all day and has good appetite, but his

The New Tax Law.

WORCESTER, Vt, February 2, 1881.
M Editor IL beg leave to differ with your
explanation In regard to this law as 1t appears in
your last paper. The law is entitled "An act to
equalize taxation" Now according to your the
DRY how are the taxes equalized7 Simply by COM
polling the poor man to pay taxes on what he does
not own. The new law in section l, puts all tax
able property in the list at one per cent Of Its
value in money" nothing said Of real estate or
personal property. There is no distinction in the
kind OF property, but all taxable property, and
each person is compelled, under oath, to give a
true statement or list Of all taxable property I'M
der penalty Of having his list doubled section 10)
and being held for perjury and punished accord
ingly (section 49, Section says, " The inven-
tories when filled shall contain a statement Of all
debts actually due from said taxpayer to the
amount Of deduction claimed" Nothing Is said
Of any kind Of property the deduction is made
from, but the only inference seems to be from the
list Of section 1. The Act to equalize taxation"
does not appear to be a supplemental act, but an
act OF itself repeating all acts laws inconsistent
with itself. Now is not any act or part OF an act
that requires both MORTGAGE and mortgagor to
pay taxes on the same property inconsistent with
this act in both spirit and letter. II So 1t is re-
pealed (section 1877, and surely the mortgage Is
required in section to pay the tax, and II he
does not give true list he Is liable to have his
whole list doubled and no power can grant him
relief (section ny. Now surely the state ought
not to require Of her citizens to pay twice on the
same property and who should have the benefit
Of deductions II not the debtor, and what debtor
will not claim and justly too, that all his debts
should be deducted from his lst-especialy what
he owes on his farm-so long as the creditor has
TO pay on the same debt? | cannot see how you
come to the conclusion that this act il not a
sweeping one replacing all previously existing
laws on listing and taxation when 1t begins at
the foundation and sweeps into the list large
amount Of property heretofore kept back, and
only sweeps out Of the list that which is not prop
erty. True, this law does not define what prop
erty Is taxable,-that has been done before and is
not inconsistent with this act. Other acts that
are amendatory, or in addition to, are so desig-
mated In the titles The new law, as understand
1t, seems to be eminently proper and just, and is
OF itself enough to atone for all the shortcomings
OF the legislature. As you interpret 1t, it is an
abortion and the only excuse the governor have
for not calling them together again is that once
is enough for the mountain to labor to bring
forth mouse. J. L. Poor.

Judge Barrett's Dissenting Opinion.


Judge Barrett's opinion, trayersing the late d.
csion Of the Vermont supreme court. has been
given to the public. Judge Barrett holds that his
decision In 1877 (fftieth Vermont Reports. mage
5O0,) covered the ground, and says: ct was in
that case decided that after the compromise do
cree OF 1864 there had been no receivership ere.
ated and administered by the court but onIv a
contract management, under the control of the
parties in interest. II should not now be held
otherwise; nor should this case be disposed of on
any different ground. It should be considered
and disposed Of as one in which the holding and
management, after the compromi,e decree went
on by the agreement OF the parties down IN tho
accession of the Central Vermont railroad com
pany, and not by the control and order OF the
court This was expressly held and demonstrated
in the decision Of 1877"
lie claims that the rights Of the Vermont and
Canada and of the mortgage boudholder. are
prior under that decree to the rights OF the Grad
itors OF the Central Vermont, and that the latter
is answerable for the utmost care and directness
in managing the property as source and means
of realizing income ever aince n tool ,,saaa.,.
