WATERBURY, CENTER At the meeting of the
Farmers club last Saturday evening s. X. Huse,
one OF our most successful dairymen, gave the
club his ideas upon "The winter keeping OF
cows" Mr.. Huse commenced ly saying that the
care of the cows should commence in the spring
that an acre OF ground should be fitted for fodder
corn for every ten cows kept. The corn should
be planted at intervals, to have a succession
Of feed Corn should he well tasselcd On, before
1t IL Ia It's best state to cut for fodder MI luse
GUS clover and feeds his cows carly, or before
he corn 1, ready. After the corn Is gone he has
his earliest cut hsy where he can use 1t. II straw
is fed ct ali, enough meal Is mixed with 1t to
make it as good as the best hay By this feed,
and warm stables with good pure water, his
COWS hold out their milk until he is ready to dry
them up when dry they have the same feed, so
that when they drop their calves they are in the
best possible condition for their summers work.
BY this care Mr.. Huse has increased his yield o.
butter about forty pounds per COW within the past
four or FIVE years The question for discussion
next Saturday evening Is the relative profit OF
the dairy as compared to sheep and young stock
Mr. F. o. Burt takes the side of the dairy, and
Mr. J. S. Wheeler the side u sheep and young
stock. good degree of interest is being mani.
tested In these meetings. MR.. Hattie L Iluntei
has made two lundr,d and seventy five pounds
of butter the past year from native COW, beside
the milk used in q family OF three persons.
Walter Murray, who went west two years ago

PLAINFIELD-Last Thursday morning fire was
discovered in a room for storing sawdust, adjoin-
ing the saw mill Of j. NJ. Batchelder Son. 1t
burned hole in the sawdust large as bushel
basket, but had not come to blaze. 1t Is sup
posed that some one carelessly threw down a
lighted cigar, as cigar ashes were found. 1t was
a narrow escape from disastrous fire, and a
caution to all to be careful where they deposit
lighted cigars. Mr.. Erwin Nye was taken sud
denly and dangerously sick last week, but we
learn is some better. The week of prayer was
observed by union meetings of the Congregational
and Methodist societies, equal portions OF the time
at either church, with good attendance and in

The Michigan Sufferers.


Mr.. II. c. Webster. treasurer Of the Montpelier
relief committee, has kindly handed us Port
Huron papers which contain detailed reports from
the burned district up to tho close Of the year.
The whole receipts to December 81 are as follows;
Dash subscriptions. tlsl.906 %
donation supplies. 22o2so is
Total. SAL se IS
Hon. +. Q. Carlton, mayor Of Port Huron and
chairman Of the executive committee, reports the
present situation In the burnt district as follows:
" The winter wheat Ia looking very finely but has
been injured, especially during the soft weather
Of the past weeks, by the tramping Of the cattle
and their feeding upon It, owing to the lack Of
fencing. The shelter for the people Is very defec-
tive. The shanties are generally built Of upright
boards OF green lumber about sixteen by twenty
feet, no chimneys, and In favorable cases bat
tened on the outside, and no partitions on the
inside compelling tho whole family to sleep in
one room. The families are partially supplied
with furniture, have reasonable quantity Of
bedding, and full supply Of clothing. The sup-
ply Of provisions will probably last u4;il the
middle of January. The committee having
ceased furnishing supplies, the proposed monthly
distribution Of money will be inadequate to fun
general destitution may be expected at the end OF
january. Sickness In consequence Of the expos
ure during and after the FIRE, Is on the increase.
Owing to the insufficient and crowded shelter,
this question will require the serious attention Of
the committee The resident physicians have
done much work, and much more will be re-
quired Of them. The spiritual needs arc well
attended to by the pastors Of the various denomi-
nations Many Of the clergy have been very
efficient In attending TO the temporal wants OF the
sufferer, and In relieving distress. In the matter
NJ hay and feed for the stock, the amount pur-
chased and on hand will reach till about the figst
OF February. Feeding will have to be continued
until the middle OF May The question OF the
sufferer now Is; What shall do with my stock
after tho first OF February No seed has heen
provided for the spring sowing. Owing 10 the
increased area Of burnt land great amount Of
grass seed will be required. besides the usual
quantity Of spring wheat, peas, oats, barley and
buckwheat. Seed potatoes will also be an iinpor-
tant item. After careful estimate, we think
that the amount Of money now on hand will,
carry the people and the stock up to February Is.
At a low estimate, and by cutting down the num-
Der Of families from three tlouslni-as appear
on the lists-to fifteen hundred families, who are
utterly des'itut, and will have to be provided
with everything, 1t will require 100000 more to
provide for the absolute necessaries. While we
are reluctant to call for moro aid, approaching
the great generosity shown by the people, we
nnot 20 less than present the situation 1t is,
10 wing the sufferers In the hands OF those who
have up to now SO bountifuly provided for their
current wants"

GRoToS.-Albro Heath Of this village, en-
ployed at the steam saw-mill owned by A. T..
Baldwin e. Co. at Groton Pond, was probably
fatally injured last Saturday while sharpening the
saw with the new emery wheel apparatus used
for that purpose. The wheel was running at a
higher rate OF speed than usual, on account Of the
other machinery being shut down for repairs.
The emery wheel he was using burst, and piece
struck him on the head, about three inches above
the left eye, cutting a cash four inches long
through the skull, driving splinters OF bone, hair,
cotton and cloth from his cap into the brain,
which were removed by the surgeon. About two
ounces OF brain matter ran out OF the wound. lie
was conveyed home In an insenslble condition
but has so far recovered as to know his friends
and call for what he wants. He has no pain, and
is at present lying in a stupor. Very little hope
| is entertained Of his recovery.

The Temperance Struggle.

Report says that the siege against the liquor
traffic In st. Adams has been raised, and the
hotels have again opened and will "sell moder-
atey, as heretofore" While we do not know
what the hotels have concluded to do we do not
believe that the temperance people OF &c. Adams
have inaugursted this movement and prosecuted
1t thus far simply to now make an unconditional
and ignominious surrender. The friends OF the
prohibitory law all over the state, especially In
the larger villages, have been watching this st.
Adams movement with the keenest interest, and
the resulting influence will be deep and wide
spread. The liquor traffic abounds in all our
localities and Its victims are increasing with y
rapidity that is truly alarming. Any attempt to
stay the tide encounters the same adverse inhu-
ences as have been 30 formidable In st. Adams;
and II an ignobe surrender IL made In this early
skirmsh with the enemy, the "rebel yell OF the
liquor interest will be heard all along the lines.
That the action OF the st. Adams people will
not be disheartening to their friends elsewhere
may well be inferred from the following from the
St. Adams Messenger Of Monday evening:
day last week associated press dispatch dated at
St. Albans, published In the Boston and other papers
