who left an estate valued at $50. 900,
gave these injunctions in his will: Hav-
ing observed that ostentation and ex-
pensive funerals are injurious to the
people, after absorbing money which
poverty cannot well spare to vanity and
pride, therefore by want of exarnpie. for
which beg pardon OF the undertakers.

plainness. Let there be cheap shroud

journey and the day of death the final
rest.
Mr.. Young, United States Minister to
China, transmits the following informa-
ton to the government concerning the
vexed question of the population of the
celestial empire: Il have been inform
ed indirectly, but from official sources,
llidL tlic CeHSuS VI SIli1i, DIS bdhcH IdsI
year for purposes of taxation, shows a
total population of 255, 100000 This
does not include the Mongolian or other
| outlying dependencies of the empire,
but only the eighteen provinces of China
proper nor does it embrace the abort
ginal tribes which exist in very consid-
cradle numbers in the Island of Formosa
and the provinces of Kuangsi, Yunnan,
Kneiceow, and Szchnan. Making due
allowance for understatements due to
the purpose for which the census was
taken, for the aboriginal tribes mention
ed above, and for the Mongolian de-
Tendencies, which are really an inte-
gral part of the empire, it is probable
that the sum total of the population of
China really exceeds 10000, 000."

Disaster.

1t is with sincere regret that we
chronicle the loss by fire of the Vermont
farm machine company's works al
Bellows Falls. which were totally
destroyed few days since. Starting
some years ago in small way, TIL
concern. by energy and push, by making
good goods and putting them before The
public. has attained bust ness and a
reputation not confined to one continent
About three years ago they moved into
their late new commodious premises, and
at the time of the fire employed about one
hundred hands in their works. Theil
chief articles of manufacture were the
Cooley dreamer for milk setting, then
evaporators for sugar making and fol
cider jelly, the Cleaner horse rake, and
the Davis swing churn. We believe the
Cooley to be an excellent if not the best
system for deep cold setting and we know
from experience that their evaporator and
horse rake are first class implements,
which we believe to be the best of their
classes. We hope the firm will soon
secure other quarters for carrying on their
business, and what seems a present
misfortune turn out future blessing.

Changing Potato Seed.

Farmers generally do not realize the
Importance of frequent change of seed
flom one locality to another. Seed long
sown on the same farm will deteriorate
and light crops will be the consequence.
In 1881. the potato crop in Vermont was
almost failure. Last year l had part
of bushel of the Beauty of Hebron,
which had raised; these planned in one
locality. I went several miles and got
barrel of Burbank Seedlings; part OF
these planted on upland the rest, on
rich meadow. also procured bushel
of Early Rose at large price and planted
those, finishing out with the old stock Of
Early Rose and Snow Flake. On the
upland from the new seed. | raised at the
rate of 200 bushels to the acre: and on
the meadow, at the rate of 800 bushels to
the acre But from the old seed that |
had used year after year, l had lighr
crop of small potatoes. supposed that
those that grew so rank on the meadow
would rot. but they did not and are
keeping first rate. l believe the Reauv
of Hebron, for an early kind, and h,
Burbank Seeding for later, are the
potatoes for the farmers to raise for tn,
present, at least. One man will sd,
Plant large potatoes and plant tn, m
whole;" another says: "cuu them in
small pieces" Others will say that small
sized potatoes are just as good to plan
Good crops have been raised in all these
ways, vt prefer large ones to plant, and
think that it does no harm to cut them
Morelo" n, Vt. E.w B.
The above from the Mirror and Farmer.
suggests the query sohy is change of seed
beneicialp
We mean not changes of binds of seed,
but changing seed of the same variety
from one locality to another. The Mirrors
correspondent found benefit from taking
seed from a distance, would the home
seed which he planted have shown
corresponding advantage taken to a
distant locality? The solution of this
problem would determine whether it
depended upon the treatment of crops
upon the same land, or whether they
derived new vigor from soil irrespective
of treatment Not many years ago there
was seed corn introduced by DR..
Hosbins which had been grown on one
firm for about forty years,if we remember
rightly, and was therefore claimed to. be
entitled to the name of pedigree corn.
We got some of the seed and still use it
and it ears heavily.
Now the question comes up, can we by
good care, careful selection, liberal
fertilization keep it up on our farm, or
must we By and by 60 to some other man
who has taken no more pains than we
have, and by exchange of seed both be
beneftted?

KEEPING Cows ON Corn MEAL.-J. Z.
Hunt, our Correspondent at Essex, VT,
writes H. follows: in December, 1873,
| put two young, hardy cows, after being
uIl Ted and wateled, on the scales and
noted their weight. then put them in
TWO dark stalls, apart from any other
cattle and gave them a good bed of dry
SaWdust ted each at s A. NJ, and p.

pnts OF meal per feed or five pnts per
day, ana what water they wanted, which
was about three gallons each per day.
they were uneasy for the first two days,
alter which they became quiet and
lolhlng unusual was noticed. | kept
close watch of them, ready at any hour to
condemn the practice, but l saw no
occasion for it. At the end of six weeks
the meal WAS taken away and full rations
OF hay We're given, and after four days
they were carefully weighed in tho same
condition as to feed and water; one
weighed nine and the other thirteen
pounds more than before the trial.
attributed this apparent gain TO tie
growth of their young, as am very sure
Lhey were in no better condition. From
what | learned in this experiment, I
should not hesitate o put the whole herd
of native cows on a meal diet for eight or
ten weeks, when they we're dry. l would
have no hay nor any other fodder in sight,
keeping them in the barn all the time,
and commence to give them what hay
they wanted as soon as they commenced
to make bag"

We think we cannot better voice our

We think we cannot better voice our
opinion of tine weather cranks of which
the late Virgins is a conspicuous example
than the Boston Herald has done in q late
number. And the sublimity of the mans
cheek is shown in his claiming that the
storm of which that of Sunday was a part,
and which differed in no particular of
wind or snow fall from that of other
March storms of common enough occur
renee, was fulfllment of bis prophecy.
The amount of superstition still abiding
among the most civilized nations of the
world when the nineteenth century is
drawing near its close is shown by the
attention paid to the babblings of
Canadian weather lunatic, who has
with his foolish forebodings caused
suspension of operations in one of the
most important of American indus
tries, the fishing business, and seriously
disarranged ocean commerce. That Wig.
gins is needed among Of her than the lower
and presumably ignorant classes is proved
by the fact that bookings on the transat-
antic steamers have been very light on
both sides the ocean in consequence of his
prophecies, many intelligent people, even,
postponing their proposed trips across for
fear that, in some mysterious way, the
weak Drained fraud might have means
of knowing what even "Old Probs'' cant
find out. And yet, in spite of the failures
OF the various prophecy shops established
by Capen, Vennor, Virgins and others,
if some new fool itching for notoriety
should rise up and declare that on
certain date the ocean would urn topsy.
turvey he would find the same old crowd
OF gullibIes hanging on his words with
open mouthed creduence.

GLOVER AND TIMOTHY EXPERIMENT.
80. j. l." Jerico, Vermont, writes to
The Mirror: Before the introduction of
siios it was said, grass is king in YER
mont and so consider it to-day, from
the fact that the silo, us yet, has not been
sufficiently tested to prove its value above
the best English grasses. Being myself
in favor OF clover hay, will give little
experiment which made in the spring of
1882, showing the difference in feeding
well cured clover hay and meal for the
production of butter over timothy and
meal. The meal was from corn and cobs
ground together. Nine COWS and helfers
were kept one week on clover hay and
four quarts of meal fed in rations of two
quarts night and morning They pro-
uuced 60 pounds of butter. | tnen fed
clear timothy, cut directly after the clover
and got in without rain, and not over
coarse, the same ration. In one week the
same cows made so pounds of butter, Il
shrlnkage of one sixth. AS soon as fed
clover again in connection with the meal,
the butter was again increased one-sixlh.
The clover hay was cut when the clover
was in full bloom"
We have repeatedly spoken of tho value
of clover rs feed. 1t is one of our most
valuable crops, for beside its food value it
is an excellent crop for the soil. The
large roots which penetrate the soil to u
considerable depth, die after time, and
decayng leave the soil in a light porous
condition, besides the benefit derived from
the fertllzing substances which they
have taken up and leave in their decay in
condition 10 be available for less rank
growing plants, that are not as grass
feeders. We believe that in Germany
clover hay ranks about four dollars per
ton higher in price than English hay, and
Herman experiments have given German
farmers good grounds Cor their belief
One great trouble with clover is
the trouble in curing it, but in reasonably
good weather it can be easily done in the
cock. And if one has cloth caps for them
they can stand till the clover is we'll cured
without any risk or trouble.

to the list is one of 500, for best herd
of cattle for the combined purpose of beef
and milk production. 1t Is OF no use to
deny il. there is call for cattle combining
beef and mi liking qualities. There may be
special cases whore it will pay to keep a
milking animal, or butter or beef ami
NAL as breeder, till it is SO old as to be
unfit feeding for the butcher, but such
cases are not the rule. and such farming
will not, in the long run, be the most
| profitable for stock men. We should sell
| fewer calves for veal, raise more dairy
cows, and then turn them for beef while
yt ung enough to feed wei for the butcher.
We believe the best results will be attain
ed only by breeding for that end only
while very good ones may be secured by
breeding with two purposes in view. The
whole tendency of the age is toward
specialites. In farming, in medicine,
law, etc. one finds people who are
securing wealth and fame by giving atten-
to one thing only.
Some farmers raise small fruits, some
keep dairy, some raise horses, some
sheep, and as a rule these people are
successful, because all their energies and
talents are bent toward the one object, and
such concentration must be more effective
han where they are divided in many
directions.
A man will be more likely to succeed
in business he likes, and we would
advise man to choose such Gf he can)
and then give it his energy and attention.
We don't believe COW can make flesh and
butter from the same feed at the same
time one or the other must take back
seat

FEEDING STRAw.-A Lunenburg, VT,

to wet with water and sprinkle with meal,
il one wishes to feed straw the first winter

wishes to keep straw until the second
winter can recommend plan which |
have tried on small scale. In the first
part OF haying, straw may ! c mixed with
hay about half dried, and the hay will not
hurt in the NOW. Have the straw on some
scatlold or on the beams, so as to be
handy, and as the hay is pitched off put a
layer of small fork luis over the NOW, then
layer of straw, and so on, using a ton of
straw to five or six Of hay. Used in this
way the cattle don't know straw from hay.
