Something About Beans.

Last year beans were a short crop, and
this year they are not much better. Had it
not been for the low duty on beans (only
ten per cent? the farmers would have the
home market to themselves, and prices would
rule accordingly. But under this low duty
about as many beans were imported as
there were grown last year, and it will prob
ably be the same this year. Beans are a
staple Vermont crop, and, if it is in order,
we would like to inquire of our great cham
pion of the protective tariff, Senator Nor
rill, how it is that they are admitted at so
low duty. Was he so busy looking after
the interests of Massachusetts, manufacturers
1--WE have heard him called Massachusetts,
third senator) that he forgot his own imme-
diate constituency We hope he will have
things fixed little better under the tariff
revision. Between foreign competition and
western competition, with the enormous dis
elimination made against us by our own
railroads in the way of freight, Vermont's
money crops are being contracted within
very narrow limits. The thirty to forty
cents bushel which it costs to get crop OF
beans from Vermont TO Boston takes about
all the profit to the grower, and is direct
discouragement to agriculture of the state
on the part of corporations which work un-
der charters granted by the people, and
whose roads were in great part built and
sustained by our peoples money, Is it not
about time to have revision OF freight
tariffs by commission of the legislature
Or is the charge so frequently made that
railroad corporations can do as they please
in this state true one ?
New York and Vermont are the two
great bean growing states, the largest guam
tity being raised in ti.s former state, and
TO these sections Boston looks for its chief
supply. The other New England states
and Canada send some to market, and beans
of the larger varieties come from the west
hut not in sufficient quantities to have any
effect on prices Maine in former years
furnished considerable quantities Of pes
beans, but few of this variety are raised
there now, the farmers having turned their

Facts about the Corn Crop.

The history of corn in this country covers
the period from 1911, when thirty acres
were planted by the james river settlers, to
the present time, when our fields amount to
100000 acres, yielding l,5OO0OO,O0O
bushels and upward annually. The exports
of corn compared to the whole crop are
small, but great deal goes out in the
form of meats. The exports for the seven
years 1875 to 1882, both inclusive, were
52i, ,6S0, ,52O bushels of corn, which was 1857
100000 bushels more than the combined
exports of the preceding fifty-fve years
but the value for the last seven years was
not proportionally so great, as the average
price was only fitty.six cents against seven
ty-four in the longer period. The total Of
the six principal grains raised in 1880 was
2,7lS,l93, sol bushels on l20,926 2S6 acres.
In 1851, though the average rose to 1885,
3s7, 7,47O, the yield was 650,0O0,O0O bushels

Distinguishing Apples by their Seeds.

Last year at the state fair the apples
which took the premium as the best North
ern Spys were in fact Bethels. These ap-
Piles look enough alike to deceive the mex
perienced judges usually appointed for such
tasks, but they are easily Disseminated by
their seed, the Bethel having very long,
curved and sharp-pointed seeds, while those
of the Northern Spy are much shorter,
plumper, as well as darker in color. Some
efforts have been made at one Of the west
ern agricultural colleges to establish dis
tinctive marks by which varieties of apples
may be distinguished in the color and form
of the blossoms. In addition to this we
suggest that the seeds may often furnish a
guide for the same purpose. As Mr.. Down.
ing remarks in letter before US, they are
not always sure guide, yet he says the sub
ject is worthy of more study than it has yet
received. What does our experienced Grand
Isle correspondent, Mr.. Macomber, think in
regard to the matter We should be glad
to hear from him and others in regard to it..

attention to yellow eyes, which seem best
adapted 10 their soil. The market for mar
row beans is principally in New York city,
whence they are shipped to Africa, the
West India islands, New Orleans and other
southern ports. They are fine large bean,
the handsomest, those with the smoothest
skins being raised in Vermont, although the
New York state beans are generally Of fine
quality, and the largest quantity is grown
in that state.
Foreign beans, as has been remarked
above, come in direct competition with our
own growers. They are principally medi-
ums, although some pea beans are received,
but are not so bright looking and plump as
the natives. They are put up in bags Of
three and one-half bushels each, weighing
about two hundred twenty-five pounds.
The samples of this years crop sent by mail
from Germany to the dealers here says the
Boston CuliUator, would seem to indicate
that they are of rather better quality than
last year, and there is no doubt but that
many of them will be wanted.

A Choice JERSEY HERD,-The town of

BREAKING CoAL.--A new system Of coal
breaking in mines without the use OF pow
der was described at recent meeting of the
iron and steel institute. In this system,
steam generated by the contact of water
with caustc lime is the explosive agent. A
cartridge of caustic lime is placed in the
shot hole and tamped, after which water is
forced in by small force-pump, and the
coal is broken by the slow pressure OF the
steam. The system is said to be rapid in
its operation, with the great advantage over
the use of powder of being entirely safe.

TIE CLOVER.

Some sings OF the lily, and daisy and rose,
And the panses and pnks that the summertime throws
In the green grassy lap Of the meider that lays
Blinkln' up at the skies through the sunshlny days
But what Ia the lily and all Of the rest
OF the flowers 10 man. with heart in his breast
That was dipped brimmng full Of the honey and dew
OF the sweet clover blossoms his babyhood knew
! never act eyes on clover field now
Or fool round a stable or climb in the NOW,
Butmy childhood comes back Just as clear and "a plain
As the smell Of the clover I'm snufiing again
Aud wander away in a barefooted dream,
Where iangle my toes in the blossoms that glearn
with dew Of the dawn Of the morning of love
Ere It wept Ger the graves that I'm weeping above
And 40 love olover-it seems part
or the sacredest sorrow and Joys Of my heart,
And wherever II blossoms, oh, there let me bow
And thank the good God az I'm thanking him now;
And pray to him still for the strength when die,
TO go out In the clover and tell II good by,
Aud lovingly nestle my face in its bloom
while my soul slips away on breath OF perfume.

SO FAR as we are advised, the Demo
cratic Central Committee Of this coun.
~ has taken no steps 10 secure a full
registration of the Democratic vote of
the county, under the new registration
law. This important matter ought not
and must not be neglected, and if
those whom the party has designated
to look after It's interests and sec to a
proper and efficient organization Of its
forces neglect to attend to the impor-
tant duties with which they arc charg-
ed, the rank and file Of the party must
take the matter in hatd The proyi
sions of the law are known b. but very
few, but one fact is important and must
snot be overlooked, and that is, that
every one who does not desire to lose
his vote at the fall election must regis
ter and the sooner the matter is at
tended to The better.
