syrup. / gave bottle one night to
babe three months old, and il killed il.
Nevertheless the syrup is good, rightly
used; so is ground slate. While the sy-
rup Is useless for diphtheria, ground slate
is useless for clay soil, but it will act as
vermin eXterminator on clay rs well as
sand soil Col Mead,after examining the
subject. gave it his approval, told the
farmers that with a sand soil they had
mountain deposit here that would make
gardens Of their farms. Prof. Seeley Of
Middlebury has often told me he approved
of using ground slate for fertilizer in the
manner I proposed.
There is nothing new or inconsistent
with natures laws in this theory. Give a
piece of meat to dog or cat, how quickly
they devour it. Give it to the sheep or
cow-do they eat it? One man has by
nature 4 sour stomach, he Graves alkalies.
Another man has his stomach surcharged
with alkalies. he Graves acids. One per
son is full of electricity, another has but
little. Now what 10 present; first, an
article that has in it large percentage of
potash to place upon soil destitute of pot
ash, that you may grow upon it crops that
will not grow without potash. That is all
there is of it. If my theory that soil noursh-
ment passes off in vaporis fallacious throw
it away, but if am correct in my theories
or in either of them, ground slate is Of
more value than is plaster. While it is
valuable to Burlington it would be wor tn
less to Vergennes. have not written Of
ground slate because | am interested in
it, but because | know it to be a valuable
assistant to the farmer andmarket garden
err. Does any one claim more for plas
ter than n mechanical action. There are
some soils upon which it is worthless.
Lime is worthless upon sand, but valuable
upon clay. 1t stocks the clay and makes
it easy to work. Why may not ground
slate be eflicacous in coarse soil as a
mechanical fertilizer and with its potash
act as a chemical fertilizer. 1t is no new
patent humbug at a great cost and little
worth. 1t is free to all, yet You must pay
for grinding and boiling. If am wrong
let it alone. If | am right use it, benefit
your crops and expand your pocketbook.

CANNING ToMAToES.-While canning
fruit last fall, put up few jars of toma-
toes in the old fashioned way, some of
which intended to take to the fair. They
were fresh from the garden and in prime
condition. After peeing them cut them
in quarters and packed the cans az full as
possible and placed them in boiler of
VAIN water over the fire; when the fruit
was thoroughly scalded, l sealed up the
cans, and when cold put them in a cold,
dark cellar. I could not help admiring
their beautiful appearance, as | placed
them one by one upon the broad shelf
At the same time my mother prepared
some for canning. but put them in a stone
stewpan. and boiled them till nearly all
the Juice had evaporated; then put them
in cans and sealed them as tightly rs pos
sibe. We both used the Mason can. A
part of mine began to show air bubbles in
Il few days, aud were used up Immediately;
those that were kept till spring were good
pickles, while mo.her's retained their
primitive flavor and were delightfully."-

Vermont Roads.

Mr.. EDITOR :-The frequent illusions in
vour columns to the bad condition Of YER
mont roads, and the adverse illusions to
the Judevine road law in the same con
nection, would lead the common reader to
the conclusion that on account OF the law
the roads are bad. 1t seems hardly pos
sible that such should be the fact. The
usual amount of money has generally been
expended in all the towns of the state.
The surveyors that directed the work
must have been of average ability, and
the tax was expended with average hon
cstv. The Vermonter is impressed by all
his education or training with The ncces-
sitv of good roads. 1t would be impoS'i-
Die to so demoralize the whole state that
withyone accord the roads are all neglect
ed. Our citizens may not b1,enlirely hon
est. but they could not all be false to It
public trust in the brief time the law has
been in force. The tax was worked out
uud proper oversight gwen. Now, If roads
are so dangerously bad it must he at,rlhn-
ted to injury from bad storms which sud
tlenly uncover stones, dig pits and under
mine cuiverts, or the roads are considere
had because the passengers now ride
their own risk and drive more carefully,
and see on the right hand and the left
places where a team might be wrecked,
and where big claim for damage might
be worked up under former laws. II a
citizen has his buildings well insured be
Is not so very nervous about the ashes or
the stovepipes or the fire for soap making,
but if his policy has expired he will chase
a lightning bug away from his buildings,
he is that afraid of fire. So, since the
Judevine road law prevails, every jolt
and bounce on the road makes some pas
sengers feel that they are out OF pocket 50
many tens, or fifties, or hundreds of dol
lars that under previous laws might have
come to them. The Judevinc road law
was one Of the best acts of the last icgis-
ature.-I. f. JAMESON in hc N0Htpe'te'

more expeditions than grating, and
younger stocks may be used. The pres

l.. B. Arnold says the best dairy pro

on small farms, as the result of few
cows, The milking has been regular,
and the space of time between milking.
Much depends on this. Milking at
o'clock in the morning and at at right
never makes the finest butter or cheese.
Sixteen hours, or approximation to it, is
too long time for the milk to remain in
the udder for the good of the milk or the
cows, especially when the flow is large.
By crowding and strainng the bag it

exaggerated and conflicting, but the facts
will be found in the Geographic dispatches

Who had witnessed the shooting of

on the platform opposite that on which lay
his wounded victim. Several shots were
passed between the remaining roDDer. and
the guards, TO whose assistance the passen-
gers came, as he jumped of the

identified as that of John Thomas,who had
been living in the territory. He was tall,
slender, and Of dark complexion. 1t is
said that two more cOnfederates were
to have Joined them at Blue Jacket
