Critic.
Not many teachers being present,
the election of officers was postponed

by Mr.. o. E. Rice. He followed the
methods as found in the Course of
Study and showed how to teach the
subjects, divisions of the section,
drawing maps of townships. etc.
.History, in the Middle Form,
should be taught. chiefly, by the oral
method, but when pupils are well
drilled in that way we may allow the
use of the textbook, as too much oral

SALICYLICA is known as a cammnn- sense
remedy, because it strikes directly at the
cause of Rheumatism, Gout and Neuralgia,
while so many so-called specifics and sup

1t has been conceded by eminent scientists
that outward applications, such as rubbing
with oils, ointments, liniments and soothing
lotions will not eradicate these diseases
which ar the result of the p oisonipg OF the
blood with Uric Acid.
SALICYLICA works with marvellous Ell

A FACT ABOUT FERTnIzERs.-Co Costly
commercial fertilizers should be finely
pulverized. This principle is generally
recognized In the case of such manures as
bone meal, animal meal and fish guano,
that are slowly dissolved in the soil; at
the experiment stations in this country
one-sixth more is allowed per pound for
nitrogen, and one-ffth more for phosphoric
acid in fine ground bone meal than in
medium fine bone. But the principle is
applicable not only to such as these, but
also some fertilizers containing soluble
plant food, as superphosphate.
Wagner recently compared the effect of
a very finely powdered superphosphate
with graduated ono in which the grains
were no larger than from one-tenth to
one-twentieth of an inch in size: in pot
culture with peas he obtained in every
instance larger yield with the former;
in six experiments with each the quanti-
ties of phosphoric acids supplied were %,
so, 70, 100 and $50 pounds, respectively;
calling the yield with no manure 100
pounds, the yields with the powdered
phosphate were 120, 131, IA, 149, 161 and
l69 pounds. but with the granular manure
1903, Ill, 1873, 1856. 145 and 142 pounds.
Some time ago French chemist found
that water charged with carbonic acid,
and therefore somewhat resembling in its
solvent effect the water of the soil.
dissolved nearly eight times as much from
a sample of rock phosphate in impalpable
powder. as from the same phosphate in
grains about tenth of an inch in size.
and nearly twice as much as from the
phosphate in grains about twentieth of
AN inch in size. For quick returns from
fertilizers farmers should see to it that
what they buy is in the finest possible
powder, as we'll as rich in plant food, no
matter whether it be a bone meal or
superphosphate.-Dr. g. C. Caldwell IN

A SURE PREVENTIVE OF CHICKEN
CHoLERA.--Several experiments have
been made during the past five years by
different parties for the purpose of pre-
venting the spread of chicken cholera, by
incubation or vaccination. We have
during the past two years vaccinated the
fowls in 10 different yards where the
cholera was prevailing badly, and in each
yard we left some common fowls not
vaccinated and they all died; but of the
1000 that were vaccinated only eleven
died, although they were in the same yard
with those not vaccinated, which were
dying daily by the score. We have every
reason to believe that this chicken vacci-
nation will be as effective in preventing
cholera among fowls as vaccination is in
preventing small pox among the human
family.
Vaccinate hen, and in eight days her
system will be thoroughly inoculated;
then cut off her head and catch all the
blood in some vessel; then pour the blood
out on paper. and let it dry; a half drop
of this dried blood is sufficient to vaccnate
a fowl, and the blood of one hen will
vaccinate your whole flock. Catch the
fowl you wish to vaccinate, and with a
pin or knife make little scratch on the
thigh Gust enough to draw blood then
moisten little piece of the paper with
the dried blood on, and stick it on the
chickens leg, where you scratched it;
then let the fowl run, and you need have
no fear of chicken cholera. As the result
of my many experiments. have now
dried blood enough to vaccinate, l should
suppose. 10000 fowls, for which have no
use, as do not sell patent medicines. If
any of your readers are enough interested
in poultry to try this preventive, by
writing to me, will send, free of any
charge. enough dried blood to start with.
All ask is that they send Immediately,
before the blood loses its strength II.

Bro. Dole of the Farmer, speaking of
the dairymens meeting (Which we greatly
regret being unable to attend). says: mo
one thing created more lively discussion
than ensilage. Governor Smith, who was
expected to give a lecture on it, was
unavoidably absent, but there were those
present, who have tried this kind of food,
that gave their experience" Gov. Smith
has so frequently failed to "come TO time'
on such occasions that the secretary lays
himself open to the charge of putting his
name on the programme as a mere
advertising dodge" Our ex-governor
and present railroad king is very popular
with us farmers, and can apparently make
us believe the moon is made of green
cheese whenever he deigns to try; but if
he really has agreed to be present the
many times he has been advertised but
failed to be there. it will begin to be
thought, even by the most obsequious, that
his respect for the horny handed farmer
is possibly less profound than is alleged.
DR.. Hoskins in the Watchnan.
The motive of the thing, its true
inwardness is SO perfectly plain, that the
taking "hrother Dole's" remarks (Which
had no possible relation to 1t except that
they told of Gov. Smiths absence) for an
excuse or text for the scurrility, is most
ridiculous.
Gov. Smiths character or his reputation
for keeping his promises or engagements
needs no support from us-but in justice
to both himself and us we must say that
he was expected to be there. When first
spoken to in November he could not tell
then whether be could come or not, as
there were important matters on hand
which took his time, but he thought
probably they would be settled before the
time of the meeting, and if they were he
would come. In December we saw him
again, and then he said he thought in all
probability they would be settled and that
he should be able to be there. On this
assurance we put his name on the
programme, and it was not till Thursday
noon that we received telegram from
him saying that at the last moment he was
prevented from coming, us he hoped to do,
for the afternoon at least. The only other
time we remember of his being advertised
for the meeting was at Brandon when he
was present and gave an excellent ADDRESS.
But supposing he was VIGOROUSLY unre
liable, how should that lay as open 10 The
charge of deliberately deceiving the
people by announcing speakers we did
not expect. and which DR.. Hoskins terms
"a mere advertising dudge." But we
should call it lying, and such "dodges"
are lot necessary nor will they be resorted
to in the Vermont darymen's association,
however innocent they may be considered,
or usual, or necessary they may be, in the
nursery business. The rest of the stuff
including the covert nsinuaton that the
governor has willingly failed 10 meet his
engagements does not concern US, and any
defence of Gov. Smith by us is as unnec.
essary as DR.. Hoskins' spiteful an con-
temptible abuse will be harmless.

Practical testimony in favor of the
system of ensilage is accommodating. By
reason of the marked success of hundreds
of pioneers in this new branch of farm
economy, we predict the constructing Of
thousands of new silos during the coming
year, in all parts of the country. The
evidence is all one way, in favor of the
economic use of enslage as food for cattle
and especially mich cows. No enterpris
ing farmer can afford to ignore this
subject. or decline 10 investigate its merits.

Fred E. Baldwin says: Just SO long
as man overcrowds his fowls he will
surely be troubled by losing them with
cholera and other diseases. There is not
a single domesticated animal that thrives
when crowded or kept upon poor food.
They may appear to do we'll for time,
but fowls kept in confinement will hardly
compete with those that have free range
and good care. There are many other
causes of disease, among which are want
of care. not changing the drinking water
enough, want of variety in the food and

Ensilage.

In reply to an invitation which we gave
j. W. Wolcott. Esq. of Hotel Vendome'
Boston, to address meeting of farmer
on the subject of ensilage, he speaks Of
the matter as follows:
If enough has not already been written
and said upon the subject to convince the
most skeptcal of the merits of the new
method OF feeding farm animals, certainly
nothing could add would make the least
difference or do particle of good l
don't know why, after all, l have any
interest in persuading the farmer or
dairymen that l can support COW for a
whole year upon half an acre of land
while he takes six acres to do the same
thing, and if should make the statement
it would Doubt .ss be disbelieved.
There are now enough silos in your
own state to settle all questions in the
minds of those DESTROYS OF ascertaining
the truth, if they will but visit them and
believe the evidence OF their own eyes. If
there are not, then let them come to my
farm, where they can see, rs you have, a
herd of one hundred and SIX cattle which
is being and has been fed on ensilaged
corn since last November. am
Yours Very Truly,
j. w. WOLCOTT.
We saw at Mr.. Wolcott's barnj his
cattle which had been kept 9 months of
the year 1882 on ensilage and the rest of
the year on green food, cut and carried to
them in the barn. 1--WE speak OF ensilage
as the forage crop, he feeds meal wit it
as with other forage crops.) We saw
there nice thrifty animals one or two
years old which had never been out of the
barn yard. His farm of about 400 acres
has not rod of fence except about the
buildings and for special purposes, and
the cattle are not turned to pasture at all.
Mr.. W. also keeps a few hogs. He said
he was little short on pigs when we
were there, he had only about 800. He
generally kept about 1000.
There was no attempt at style" on Mr.
Wolcott's place, everything as plain and
cheap as any ordinary farmer would
have. but things were handy and conven
iently arranged, and we should judge the
farm paid well.
