terest (and perhaps amusement) by Ver-
monters:
The maple is favorite tree for plant
ing out on highways, especially the sugar
maple, and many regard it as unsurpassed
by any New England tree. 1t is not only
somewhat stately and symmetrical tree,
easy of cultivation, and valuable for wood,
but it produces sugar with less labor and
at less expense than any other northern
production. A fourishing tree will pro-
duce one hundred gallons of sap, from
which at least twenty-five gallons of sugar
can be manufactured. 1t is noticeable
fact, however, that. although the manufac-
ture of sugar from the maple is no longer
an experiment, and although elaborate
calculations have demonstrated its profit,
the amount of sugar honestly produced
does not materially increase from year to
year. l say "honestly Produced" be-
cause there are good reasons for believing
that considerable quantities of glucose
are worked into the maple sugar of COM
merce. Sugar pullings are dear to every
Vermonter, and they are reproduced
nearly every spring at Washington, where

OF course an obscure agricultural editor,

any of the readers of The WATcHMAN are
so ignorant of what we have been doing
and saying right here before their eyes as
to ask Why some of our state papers do
not print part of the Connecticut reports3'
As matter of fact, not one agricultural
paper in the country has made 30 much
use of these reports, or has published so
much in regard to fertilizers as has the

Liyeried Servants.

The Rutland Herald and Globe has an
article on the management of our state
fair which is solid full of hard common
sense of the genuine old fashioned Yankee
sort. We have no room to reprint the
whole article, but we will quote part of
one paragraph.
Altogether our people are heartily
sick of these ornamental amateur agri
culturalists and glded youth, who stand
for nothing but money bags. Dabblers
in agriculture are not wanted in the man.
agement of the state fair any more than
alien dabblers in our politics are wanted
in the legislature and our state Offices. II
man is in every important sense of the
word citizen of Vermont, man who
votes and lives in Vermont, who is one
with our people in his actions and inter-
ests in all our local aft airs, and has some
thing besides his money-bsgs to designate
him for office in our state agricultural fair
or our legislature, nobody will object to
his selection, but our farmers are intensely
democratic in their habits and sympathies,
and their prejudice against even so trivial
matter as president attended by liv-
cried servants ought to be respected. 1t
is hard for Vermont farmer to feel that
he has anything in common with such a
man or that he represents, really, with
any sort of propriety, the Vermont farmer
in any sense. He cannot speak for their
hearts or habits he can at best feed them
on the husks of finance and the tag.ends
of the tariff lore that political dudes and
doctrinaires do eat. The farmer may be
hypercritical, but after all, at bottom, the
detestation that the average New England
farmer feels for man in livery is manly
spirit"
Even 80. And we are glad to note in
this extract the sensible remark that our
farmers are intensely democratic. We
made that remark ourself years ago, in
the old Vermont Farmer, saying at the
same time that Thomas Jefferson and
Abraham Lincoln were the typical demo.
cratic presidents. For this we were taken
to task by an alleged democratic paper,
in which genuine democratic idea when
found, looks strangely lonesome. We
wish indeed that the true democrats OF
America could come together in one party
and rule the country. There is need
surely, of such consummation. A true
democrat knows not where to catch on in
the present political procession. He finds
the republican leaders catering for the
northern aristocracy of money, and the
democratic leaders catering to the relics
of the old southern aristocracy, and tc
the nobility of the rum shop which form;
the court of king alcohol, and there seems
no place where the genuine democrat car
find home. But it cannot long be so
The people who remember and love the
principles of the declaration of independ
ence and of the emancipation proclama
ton cannot be kept always apart, drilling

Fertilizer Experiments.

"Dear Sir Some of our farmers are

the Connecticut experimental station,

agricultural editor may be willing to give
them some of the results of experiments

little of what will interest the farmers
most but will write you whatever l hear
practical farmers ask for"
The above extract from a letter re-
ceived by him, assent us, by our publisher.
We are glad to know that "some of our
farmers " 1--WE wish it were ally are inter-
ested enough in the subject spoken of to
ask for articles upon it. The agricultural
editor will gladly respond at any time to
any definite enquiries in regard to fertil
izers that may be sent to him. He has
been doing so at frequent intervals in
these columns for the past nine years
He has also reviewed at length every issue
of the Connecticut Experimental Station,
from the first report by Professor Atwater
in 1878 to the last one received, that of
1882. In addition to this, between March
3lst and May 26th, 1880, we wrote and
printed eight column-long articles upon
the Atwater fertilizer experiments, be-
sides replying to many enquiries by cor
respondents. Since then we have aver
aged over one article month upon sub
jects connected with the use of manures
and fertilizers of various descriptions.
We have, upon our own farm, tried a
great number Cover one hundred) expert
ments in the use of all sorts of fertilizers
and have given our readers the benefit of
what we learned by them. We were the
very first writer on either side of the At
lantic to decide by careful experiment
that fine ground bone did not require, and
was not improved by, any treatment with
acids in order to fit it for fertilizer either
Of farm or garden crops, and were also
the first to thoroughly try and then advo
cate the use of compost of ground bone
and ashes as being both cheaper and more
effective than any commercial fertilizer in
the market. We have also repeatedly
suggested the use Of fine ground South
Carolina phosphate rock as a fertilizer
needing no chemical manipulation, and
now we find an extract from letter Of
