The Wealthy Apple.

Another years experience shows us that
this new and hardy apple is as good keeper,
when grown in Northern Vermont, as good
hand-picked Baldwins brought in barrels
from Southern Vermont and New Hamp-
shire. We say Gas good" but the facts
say better" No Baldwns have been seen
about our vicinity for a month, but at this
date (May 2d), the Wealthys are still sound
and unshriveled. They were gathered the
18th of September, and stood in barrels in
the cellar. They have not rotted so much
as Baldwins any time during the winter !;
and particularly, since the first of March,
while the Baldwins were willing down, and
disappeared entirely by April lst, the
Wealthy continues good, and does not lose
ten per cent by rotting up to date. Never
theless, we want it to be understood that
this is experience close TO the Canada line,
among the mountains. The Rhode Island
Greening is good keeper in Massachusetts,,
while only little further south, in Penn
sylvania, it hardly keeps beyond Christmas,
and in Virginia and Kentucky it is fall ap-
pie. So the Wealthy, grown one hundred
fifty miles south of the Canada line and in
the lowlands near the sea level, may prove,
as it does in Iowa, an early winter apple
only. As to quality, with dish of Baldwins
and dish of Wealthys side by side, the
Wealthys have to be replenished much Of
tener than the Baldwins.

The Green Cabbage Worm.

A lady correspondent (Nlrs. E. A. T., of
Barre), says she wishes we would tell in
these columns how to keep worms from
cabbages. Well, the worms are born on the
cabbages, from eggs laid there by a small
whiteish butterfly, many of which may be
seen luttering about in the garden or cab
bage plot. The only way, therefore, to keep
them from the cabbages is 10 trap and kill
the butterflies before they lay their eggs on
the cabbages. But this is of little use, as
not one in fifty will do it, aud so, kill as
many as any single individual may, the but
terhies abound. Hand-picking is too big
and too nasty job. Neither wild birds
nor poultry seem to do much in the way of
eating the worms. That blessed robin won't
touch them, any more than he will currant
worms, or web-worms, or any other worms
that we know of, except earth-worms,--
the earth-worm is the farmers friend. Hot
water sprinkled upon them will kill them,
and not hurt the cabbsges,-f the tempera-
ture is just right; but only few degrees
either way is allowable. Hellebore will kill
them, but hellebore will not stick we'll on
the smooth cabbage leaves. Wheat mid
dlings, sprinkled on when the cabbages are
wet, is said to be effective. We have not
tried it. In fact we do nothing, yet we
raise lots of good cabbages. Our plan is to
plant only the tightheading kinds, like
Early Wakefield, Winnigstadt, or Fottler,
have the land as rich as a barn-yard," hoe
often, and otherwise let the cabbsges shirk
for themselves

Liberty and Independence.

If we were ever sincerely glad of anything,
it is that we have this spring disposed Of
our last nursery of fruit trees and now we
can tell our readers, in this and other jour
mails, what we have learned in our expert
mental fruit grounds and orchards without
the constant and depressing feeling that
some kindly and generous soul will say we
are advertising our business. As a matter
of fact, during our more than eight years
service in connection with this paper, we
have avoided, as much as possible, topics
likely to have that appearance; yet we have
not escaped the charge. Perhaps we ought
not to notice it yet if there is any subject
we are sensitive about, it is that very thing.
We are paid our price for the work we do
here, and the idea of being thought SO in
effably mean as to try to steal advertising
under the pretext of giving information to
the readers of this paper, is CALLING beyond
expression. Yet, of course, an agricultural
writer feels that he eau be most useful in
writing upon matters with which he is prac-
tically most familiar, and with us this is
fruit growing and struck farming" But
now we can tell our readers what we know
(or guess) about it, without that kind of
criticism, at least, and we rejoice ac-
cordingly.

A Scotch and a Vermont County.

The Scotch county of Kincardine has about
the same population as Windsor county,
Vermont, (Windsor, 1880, 360G3 Kincar-
dine, 1871, 34,03O). The area of Kncardue
is 24S,2S4 acres, but $4,000 of these are CO..
cred by the Grampian mountains, AMI 2,,-
l53 acres more consist of forest land. Otly
120,050 acres of Kincardine are in culti,.-
ton. The produce of this county has i'm
proved vastly since the middle of the last
century. when there was little to be seen but
poor huts and starved cattle. In 1876, Kin
cardine had 424 acres of wheat, IL, $40 acres
barley, 30975 acres oats, 1S9 acres rye 7S5
acres beans, 142 acres peas, 2,25l acres po-
tatoes, 1879 acres turnips, with 4,72S
horses, 2S,50i cattle, 32 ,176 sheep, and 1928
swine. 1t is almost entirely an agricultural
county. There are 1880 paupers, and the
annual tax for their support is about si2,-
600. The annual rental of farm lands is
Sl,3l5000. This is at the rate Of more than
80 per acre annually, for the arabic land
or of 50 per acre for the entire area, includ-
ing waste land and forests. This would be
equal to an average rental per acre (arabl e
and waste) in Windsor county (Which has
rather more than double the area of Kim
cardine) of 1926, or for the land in FARMS
about SO rs. What would Windsor farmers
say if, in addition to supporting their poor,
they had to pay over million and quarter
dollars year, in the form of rent, to support
"a noble aud cultured aristocracy"? But
under our British-modeled laws we are head
ing that way.

Damage In Orchards.

Although we see nothing of the kind in
our grounds, there is considerable complaint
about in various places that the past winter
has been very hard on apple trees, notwith-
standing it has not been very cold. s. h. c.,
of Vsssalboro', Maine, reports to US much
damage in the Kennebec valley, a great
apple region. lie says" II has been hard
winter for fruit trees here, killing most all
cions set last season, also a great many
that have been growing two or three years,
killing them 10 the stock. Also seeding
trees in nursery of two years growth. /
have seen nothing like 1t here since the
winter of 1861. The varieties that have
suffered most are Baldwin, Roxbury Russet,
Nodhead, Wagner and Rhode Island Green
ing" In regard to this matter, our expert.
ence is that an open winter is often as in
furious TO fruit trees as very cold winter.
Though we are not hurt any this time yet
winter before last, which was equally as
mild, did us good deal of damage. Aud
these open winters hurt strawberry beds,
too, even when covered with straw, more
than a snowy winter when they are not GOV.
cred at ALL Strawberries are likely to be
scarce and high this year.

Jennie Cramer,s Death.

1t is definitely ascertained now that Jen-
ME Cramer's death was caused by arsenic
administered less than twenty-four hours
previously. Professor Chittenden's testi-
mony on this point is deeply interesting.
He went into detailed description of the
metallic arsenic obtained in the left arm,
right leg, the thigh bone, the muscles, skin
and tissues of the back on left side, and the
transverse section of the trunk, Of the body,
and the pelvis, giving the weight of each OF
the members Of the body, with the process
of analysis, and amount OF metallic arsenic
yielded, showing the total arsenic in the
body TO be 3.llS2 grains. The essential
feature of the testimony is the absence of
arsenic in the bones, which disproves the
theory of habitual arsenic eating. 1t is
thought that Blanche Douglas will come in
at one of the critical points in the case to
strengthen the state in its theory and facts.
As she sits in the court room she gives the
impression TO close observer that she has
settled down to a definite conclusion in her
mind as TO the result in her own case.
There is no anxiety on her part. She has
had her course marked out, and knows just
what is expected of her, what she will do,
and what her fate is 70 be. She is no longer
friendly with the Malleys. They treat her
and speak of her with an Indifferent con-
tempt, which she returns by keeping her
thoughts 10 herself.

Duties Of the Housewife.

Plain cooking and sewing are accomplish
ments that our American women are not as
proficient in to-day as were their mothers.
With the girls, these two are likely to be-
come I" lost arts" Every girl looks forward
to marriage. Marriage means-or should
mean-keeping house, the head of family,
household work. Here plain sewing will be
found more useful than this dress-making or
millinery trade, plain cooking more useful
than fancy cake and confectionery. A good
housewife is more desirable companion for
the average man than the skilled piano
player, or embroidery worker. A good cook,
good washer, a good ironer, good dairy
woman, is better for the farmers helpmeet
than good dancer or good society woman.
We do not misappreciate the more aesthetic,
literary or finer accomplishments, but we
value the more essential ones first. We
must all remember that this is a bread and
butter world, and getting living tho lot nf
nine-tenths Of the human race. Work is a
common heritage, the sacrament of life.
"To bake and brew, to boil and stew" is
the everyday duty of the housewife. The
day of slender waists and taper fingers must
give place to robust forms and handy hands
The desirable and manageable men are
getting their eyes open and prefer the ser
viceable servant girl for wife to the unser-
viceable, lady-bred daughter.

That Dispatch.

Some time ago the New York Tribune
accused two telegraph operators in Wash
ington of having stolen from the wires and
made public the dispatch sent last May by
Whitelaw Reid to President Garfield, in
structing him in a somewhat mandatory
tone as to what he must do about the New
York offices. The Tribune promised to make
out its case and indicated purpose to have
somebody punished. 1t presently appeared,
however, that General III. V. Boynton of the
Cincinnati Gazette had original possession of
the dispatch, and he relieved the telegraph
operators Of any responsibility in the mat
ter. He at that time announced publicly
that he had written to the editor Of the
Tribune an explanation. The Tribune is so
exceedingly anxious to prove to all the
world just how the dispatch became public
that it seems strange it does not publish
General Boynton's letter. General Boynton
is said to have authorized the editor to pub
lish it. The latter is now in the position of
having made false accusation against in
nocent persons, who should be vindicated.
Perhaps General Boynton's letter might also
help vindicate Mr.. Blaine from the charge
of having set up the nomination of Mr..
Robertson. At all events, 1t should be
published. Aud so should all the other
secret history of that period Of political In
trigue which preceded Guiteau's fatal shot.

Children's Feet.

What vast amount of human suffering
might be prevented did parents properly
care for their feet of the children. We do not
now refer to the matter of cleanliness, too
often disregarded, but to those points which
affect the development of the feet, and di.
rectly concern the future comfort of the in
dividual Fortunately the days in which
the foot was squeez I'd into the smallest pos
sibe shoe or boot, have gone by. But life
long trouble may result from wearing shoes
that are too large. When shoe fits badly,
and there is with every step a constant con-
cussion or rubbing, the skin thickens at that
point At first this trouble may belong only
to the surface skin or cuticle, but after a
time the true skin is affected, and in some
cases even the muscles may become involved,
and painfully diseased. The troubles, whom
small, are called corns; when larger and on
the ball of the great toe, "bunions," and on
the heel, cribs" All have the same origin,
an undue, long-continued local pressure, and
are all OF the same nature, being an attempt
to resist this pressure by thickening and
hardening of the skin, while the parts below
become exceedingly sensitive and painful.
Corns of whatever description may result
from pressure of too tight shoe, or the
frequent rubbing of one that is too loose.
Young people should always have well-ftting
shoes, and if they wear wooden stockings all
the time they will be more likely to escape
corns than with cotton ones.-Selected.

A Futile Effort at Gallantry.

Maybe man feels happy and proud and
fiattered and envied and blessed among men
when he sees a pretty girl trying to raise a
window on railway car, and he jumps up
and gets in ahead of the other boys and
says, I" Allow me ?" oh, so courteously, and
she says, ooh, if you please; l would be
80 glad;" and the other male passengers
turn green with envy, and he leans over the
back of the seat and takes the window in a
knowing way with one hand, if peradven-
ture he may toss it airily, with a simple
turn Of the wrist, but it holds on, and he
takes hold with both hands, but it sort of
doesn't let go to any alarming extent, and
then he pounds it with his fist, but it only
seems to settle 4" leetle closer into place, u
and then he comes around, and she gets out
of the seat TO give him fair chance and
he grapples that window, bows up his back
and tugs and pulls and sweats and grunts
and strains and his hat falls off, and his
suspender buttons fetch loose, and his vest
buckle parts, and his face gets red, and his
feet slip, and people laugh, and irreverent
young men in remote seats grunt and groar
every time he lifts, cry out, Now, then, al
together" as if in mockery, and he bursts
his collar at the forward button, and the
pretty young lady, vexed at having been
made so conspicuous, says in her iciest man
ner, "Oh, never mind, thank you it doesn
make any difference" and then calmly goes
away, and sits down in another seat, and
that wearied man gathers himself together
and reads book upside down-oh, doesn't
he feel good, just Maybe he isn't happy
but if you think he isn't don't be fool enough
to extend any of your sympathy. He doesn't
want it.-HdUkeye.

administration of President jackson. IL is
a lofty building, two stories in height, with
a frontage of one hundred and eighty-hve
feet. The vestibule within the front door
is fifty feet long by forty wide. The famous
East room, which was finished fifty years
ago. is eighty feet long, forty feet wide, and
twenty-five feet high. Eight large mirrors
and the chandeliers, Of crystal and silver,
adorn the room. The walls are covered with
gray paper, and the furniture is velvet.
With the exception Of our public halls, IL is
the largest in the country, and, for its size,
is certainly the handsomest. The presidents
office, which is on the second story, and
which is the cabinet room also, is not very
large. 1t is thirty-five or forty feet long,
and thirty or thirty-fve feet wide, with
ceiling about twenty feet high. In the
middle of the floor is a long table, sur
rounded by leather seated chairs long lam.
brequin curtains Of dark, blush gray color
adorn the windows, and the carpet Is of a
red tint, with large figures, and large map
OF the United States on the wall. Wash

White House is chiefly memorable on ac-
count of the men who have lived in it.
Every one of our presidents except Wash
ington has resided in this famous house.

was about S335,000, and the total cost UP
to this time is about Sl,s00. 00o--Goldsn

name Hawthorne" We felt that we could
not turn away from Concord without seeing
the home where Emerson had lived and
died. We found it little out from the
center Of busy life, q little away from the
street, half hidden in pine trees and looking
the very embodiment Of simplicity and
home-comfort. II seemed deserted, only a
few visitors strayed about the grounds, oc.
casionally looking in at the windows. We
were little shocked at first at this seeming
violation of reverential courtesy, while the
family were laying away their dead, and
friend remarked, &C. am going to resolutely
refrain from looking in at that window"
We went into the garden, with its stars of
jonquils and the fragrant hyacinths, and saw
by the little green beginnings here and there
what it must be later on, and then turned
again to that halfraised curtain. 1t was
too tempting, and with one glance Of un-
willing surrender into each others eyes we
looked in. Remorse vanished, which
turned TO admiration when we saw it was
the library. One side of the house seemed
a solid mass of books. What an honor,
thought we, TO write a book that should
find home in that bookcase What
glory to have ones thoughts framed in with
books OF his, with their fearlessness of pur-
pose and hatred Of shams. The library was
a charming room. The carpet was of that
velvety crimson, so suggestive of luxurious
ness. Dark old oil paintings were on the
walls, chairs of quaint beauty were here
and there, growing Gala lilies were in front
of the CRATE, and evidence Of exquisite taste
everywhere. Just before this window opened
another door, looking into room of heavy
draperies, through which shone the after
noon sun, lighting up everything with its
rosy reflection. Again his words were re-
called:
Cleans OF sunshine on the wall
Poured deeper cheer, than all
The revels of the carnival"
As we turned away to look up to that old
fashioned door, with its brass knob and
knocker, and realized that the hands which
had touched it so often we had Just now
seen so helplessly clasped, feeling of DESC
lation swept over US, and we turned to look
toward Sleepy Hollow with wet eyes.

Death OF Thomas Whitaker.

Those of our readers who attend the meet
ings of the Dairymen's Association will hear
with regret of the death of that intellig ent
and practical farmer and agricultural writer,
Mr.. Whitaker, of Needham, Mass He
was born in Bingley, York county, England,
in October, 1916, and, coming to America
in lS45, settled in Southbridge, Massachu-
sets, where he remained until 1868, in which
year he removed to Needham. He was a
man of considerable ability, and though be-
ginning his life in America without money
and without influence, rose to a very COM
Portable condition. Beginning life as a
wool-sorter, he became connected in re-
sponsible capacity with large business houses
and eventually devoted himself to farming.
He had taste for newspaper work, which
he INDUCED during number of years, writ
ing on wool, sheep and general agricultural
topics for the Southbridge Jonrnal, the
United States Economist, the New York
Weekly Tribune, the New England Farmer
and other papers. At the time OF his death
he had been some time the agricultural edi
tor of the american CultiUator.
