1t is refreshing to find Gen. Og-
den, the reformers' candidate for the
Louisiana governorship, publicly de-
nouncing the lottery company in I'M
measured terms as rich monopoly
which corrupts politics in the most
shameless way and brings disgrace
and ruin upon the whole state. Such
expressions in regard to great evil
which nobody denies have been al
most unaccountably scarce down
there, and even now the New Orleans
Picayune, which heartily supports
Ogden and prints his words in doub-
lie leads, does not itself venture to
say a single word of the same sort.

General Sheridan is the fifth Office

General Sheridan is the fifth officer
who has held the rank of lieutenant
general in this country, and the four
teenth commander of the army of the
United States. Like General Grant,
General Sheridan was not brilliant at
at West Point. In 1858, when he
graduated, he was much nearer the
tail than the head of his class. Like
Grant he proved his military ability
in actual service, and has fully mer-
tied the honors which have come
upon him.

less, were valuable food for stock il judi
ciously fed in proper quantities. A farmer
that tests with the scales can tell something
about the value of what he feeds his cattle.
The speaker strongly advocated spreading
manure late in the fall or in the winter, and
gave his reasons for it at length. Manure
spread in the winter he considered worth
three times as much as manure spread in the
spring. The roots of plant are killed or
injured by coming in contact with too strong
a fertilizer, as the green manure in coarse
Jumps. An excess of any fertilizer above
what the crop requires is injurious This
was illustrated by experiments which women
try with ammonia and with matches on their
house plants. Nearly every woman has spoit
or injured plants by using too many matches,
or ammonia or some other fertilizer too
strong.
At the conclusion of the address, in reply
to questions from this part of the state, the
speaker gave the natural history of the an.
pie maggot or tiny worm that has of late in.
tested the apples in this section, the Trypcter
p0m0nClld. 1t is the larva of a fly that de.
posits its eggs in the apple in July. 1t had
been proposed as a remedy to spray the tree
in that month with mixture of one pint of
kerosene to a pailful of milk, churned aud
Ihinned with water.

The Philadelphia Record has the following
mention of COW which is said to have sur
passed any butter record yet made. The ami
NAL is Jersey, MARY Anne of St Lamberts, "
and is owned by V. E. Fuller of Hamilton,
Ont:
This wonderful COW, in butter test made
under the auspices Of the Canadian Jersey
Breeders association, gave "a pounds and l3
ounces of butter in seven days, and for three
days of that time she gave Is pounds and
ounces. Being further tested, without resort
ing to the forcing system (the feed being five
quarts of ground oats with grass), the Weld
OF butter was 2O9 pounds and y ounces in 81
days, or at the rate Of three pounds and six
ounces daily. This yield is remarkable on ac-
count of the length of time which she was
tested, and as the tests of other COWS have
been for one week only, the test in this case
was not entirely competitive trial The
milk from this COW is so rich that a quarts of
it make pound of butter, or, by weight, nine
pounds of milk to a pound of butter. As
usual thing over 20 pounds of milk from or
binary cows are required to make pound of
butter"

In the British provinces of India laborers

Vermont as in other states. But the streams

Last year being the abundant year for the
apple crop, and especially so with the Bald
win, the trees in a small orchard were nearly
all profusely filled with blossoms, with the
exception of few which bear odd wears
We had all the blossoms sheared from three
trees which were particularly abundant in
bloom, and these trees, of course bore no
fruit last season, while others were loaded
Now the three sheared trees are full of bios.
SONS, while all the others about them are des-
ttute. These trees being large, or some 10
years old, two or three hours or more were
required to shear each tree which was effected
by using sheep shears and a short ladder II
the operation had been performed when the
trees were small and had begun to bear early
crops, the labor would have been slight and
the probability would have been greater of
the change in the year remaining permanent.
Ihis remark may prove valuable suggestion
to those who have young orchards in tho early
years OF their bearing, and wish to have equal
crops in both seasons Country Gentleman.

wealthiest agricultural people on tho globe
We're the wealth divided equally, every man,

Were the annual products divided evenly, there
would be $50 worth for each man, woman

that we had existed as a nation but little more
than single century, while the older coun-

the growth of many hundred years France,
Germany and Austria have existed more than

Thus 1t will be seen that, with the exception
of Germany, these countries are subject to a
greater burden of taxation than ours. While
the annual expenses of the government in
these countries are greater than in the United
States, the property from which the means to
pay them must be raised, either directly or
indirectly, is less.
Ours is now by far the leading manufacture
ing country of the world 1t is still taught
by some of the Biographies used in our
schools that Great Britain is the leading coun.
try of the world in manufactures. This was
once true, but it is not true now. There has
been an immense increase within the last ten
years in the amount and value of our manu-
featured goods. According to the latest sta
tistics the value of manufactured articles an.
nually made in this country is twice as much
as the value of all that are made in Great Brit.
ain.
In the amount and value of agricultural
products this country also far exceeds any
other in the world. The value of our agricul.
tural products is six times Great Britain's
