The Judge Of Probate.

The CdIedORidn has nothing to say
against Walter p. Smith. 1t has its
preferences in candidates and is not
backward in expressing them. 1t is
very firm in its convictions that the
probate Office would be better conduct
ed by the present incumbent than it
can possibly be by Mr.. Smith. That
is why we support Mr.. French. We
go for the best men for office regard
less of claims, prejudice or favor.
For more than quarter of a century
administrators OF estates, executors of
wills and guardians of orphans have
come from the probate office into the
CdledOnidR office to settle advertising
accounts, and we cannot recall one in
stance in the entire time of any COM
plant of the probate judge or register,
or of the manner i'll which the business
of the office has been conducted. We
think the record remarkable, and it is
due the men who have so faithfully
anu SATISFACTORILY ulSClldl ecu tHt uulits
of the Office that it should be publicly
stated. The voters of the county also
should know the fact.
1t is well known that the decisions
of Judge French have always been so
just and equitable that very few ap-
peals to the county court are ever
made. This is matter of no small
consequence. An administration that
will settle estates with the least diff
Guilty and cost is the kind wanted.
Such an one our county has been for
tunate in having for very many years.
This testimony is given without the
request or knowledge of Mr.. French or
any of his friends. We think it due
the present incumbent, and it is also
due our readers, so many of whom are
to vote for judge of probate next Tues
day

a very good thing has been gotten
of on ID. NJ. Camp of the Newport Ex-
press. In recent Issue of his paper
he had an item to the effect that Il
puff-ball had been found and brought
into his office, which Camp speaks of
as 1.-THE biggest piece of nothing next
to the last Congress which has been
seen lately Its dimensions were
thirteen inches in diameter, thirty nine
inches in circumference the longest
way, and thirt, three the shortest way,
the whole mass weighing eight ounces.
The North Troy Palladium copies the
paragraph and facetiously remarks ::
1--WE thought Camp lost his head about
the time of the convention, and are
heartily glad it has been found"

Men Wanted.

The following article from an ex-
change is adapted to all sections at all
times, but it is especially applicable to
Caledonia county at the present time
The great want of this age is men.
Men who are not for sale. Men who
are honest, sound from centre to cir
conference, true to the hearts core.
Men who will condemn wrong in friend
or foe, in themselves as well as others.
Men whose cOnsciences are as steady
as the needle to the pole. Men who
will stand for the right if the heavens
tOtter and the earth reels. Men who
can tell the truth and look the world
and the devil straight in the eye. Men
that neither brag nor run. Men that
neither flag nor finch. Men who have
courage without shouting it. Men in
whom the courage of everlasting life
runs still, deep and strong. Men who
do not cry nor cause their voices to be
heard on the streets, but who will not
fail nor be discouraged till judgment
be set in the earth. Men who know
their message and tell it. Men who
know their places and fill them. Men
who know their own business. Men
who will not lie. Men who are not too
lazy to work, nor too proud to be poor.
Men who are willing to eat what they
have earned, and wear what they have
paid for.

Edward Biggart of North Benning-
ton died the other day under some
what singular circumstances. For
some months past his eyesight grew
dim. The appearance of his eyes was
unchanged, but blindness seemed to be
fast coming upon him. He was told
by the physicians that no help could
be given him, that he would lose his
eyesight entirely and that the disease
would go to his brain and render him
insane. This prediction was fulfilled
within a week, with the result stated
above.

Judge Bowman has declined the
democratic nomination for judge OF
probate, and he catches it hot and
heavy on all sides, one faction accus-
ing him of selling out to Smith and the
other faction of being bought up by
French. The Judge would have re-
ceived fewer cuffs had he remained a
candidate. 1t is but justice to the
Judge to say that his letter of declina-
ton was written Aug. %, but the COM
mittee kept it suppressed until after
the temperance convention.

The term Fair" may not always be the
most appropriate one for the autumn shows
Exhibition is better word but far less fre
Iently used. Not only should the farlne

flmily with him. The going. simply, is
not enough. All the members Of the house
hold should make it point 10 take some
tn to exhibit Oue of the boys may take
fine colt, and ifit is his own there will
be all the more pride in obtaining prize.
Another son may have a yoke Of steers that
he has trained for the exhibition. AS Tor
the girls, there are a thousand di iilerent
things that can be made with the needle
that will grace the walls Of the "Woman's
Pavilion" or the rooms of the Household
Department. Even SO common a thing as
bread may be baked with special care, and
will attract much attention. Then there
are the garden vegetables, potatoes-a new
kind perhaps-pum umpkins, squashes, ETC.,
and the products of the farm and orchard
1t is not wise to leave all these things at
home, and then crlticise the exhibition be-
cause ou can say, ave have better things
at home" To 60 and take things to tie
Fair is not enough. The Exhibition should
become a school at which oil exhibitors and
visitors make a study of the implements,
cattle, poultry, fruit, grain, etc. that are
there. A farmer may owe his success in
| growing some crop to the knowledge gained
at town Fair. The farmer that has o real
pride in the farm will take great interest
in the local fair, and will exhibit the best
product, of farm life in the boys and girls
who are interested exhibitors at the Fairs

1t is place for asking and answering qucs

within his reach. 1t Is our advice that al
go to the Fair-all take something l.
show, and all find out as much as possibl
about all the various exhibits that are mad
by others. In this way the DAY at the Fai
will be a most Profitable one. It may /
that premium will not be taken by Yer,

COLUMN.
Early Fattening of Animals,

II is quite-as important to iatten aud mar
kct economically, the animal products Of
the farm, as il is to raise them. A pound Of
beef, pork or poultry, eau be made much
cheaper in September and October, than
later in the season, when a larger part Of
ratons must go to keep up animal heat.
There is no sleight Of hand in laying fat
upon an animals carcass. 1t must come out
of good honest food iu the rations led. The
temperature iu the latter part of the sum-
mer aud carly autumn, is in favor Of the
best use Of nl the 'trning articles vi ood,
while there is enough green food to sharp
en- the appetite, and keep up good digesti n.
We have found green corn stalks, especially
sweet corn an excellent article in the stye,to
be fed in connection with corn on the cob,
and corn meal and other ratons. We have
never seen pork made more rapidly tbnn
with this kind Of feeding. 1t will be- sale
to feed ali that the swine will eat up clean
aud 10 more. Slack up feed little when
anything is lett in the trough. This will re-
qu.re a little attention, but the pigs will
grow so fast, that ous can afford to linger by
the stye few minutes, once a day, to see
the fat accumulate. Corn is high this sea =.
son, and we want TO make the best use of it,.
The best poultrymeu we know begin to give
extra feed in September, when they mean
to kill in November. The Thanksgiving
market is pretty sure to be good one, and
brings ready cash. The small potatoes
boiled, and mixed with Indian meal and
hot water, make and excellent feed for tur-
keysand other poultry. This isvors growth
as well as fattcnlng. The rations of corn
and other graiu, unground, may be reserved
to the last faw weeks of life. Turkeys
should have their liberty all through the
extra feeding. Some pouItrymen shut up
their geese aud ducks, but we doubt the
economy Of this method. With good run ,
they will have greater variety of food and
thrive better with an access 10 pasture
