rather than to be taxed to provide farm
and buildings for genuine industrial
educational institution. We have reached
this painful conclusion by talking with
the farmers themselves. 1t hes been i'm
possible to interest any considerable num-
Der of them in the subject. All who know
the facts are ready TO admit that the agri-
cultural fund is being diverted from its
proper purpose; but they prefer to allow
this, rather than contribute either money
or votes towards the Fighting of the &C.
knowledged wrong. And that being the
case, dear Chittenden county reader, we
have retired from the contest, satisfied
that we are no more interested than any
body else in the matter, and that not
being a native (though we are an attached
citizen) of Vermont, we can stand the
disgrace as long as our neighbors.

largely upon the bone. We have taken
poor, worn-out land, apparently, some Of
which was so poor that it did not produce
five bushels of rye to the acre, and built
it up into very productive land for fruit
garden, wholly upon raw ground bone
and muriate of potash. We have used
one thousand, twelve hundred, and even
fifteen hundred pounds to the acre of bone
alone, and as high as five hundred pounds
of the potash"
Mr.. ANGUS Estate pomologisD.-" We
have used the same article to which Mr..
Hale alludes, and we think fsvorably of
it. do not know that we have used it
quite as largely as Mr.. Hale i should say
from six hundred to eight hundred pounds
to the acre, perhaps, every other year."
PROFESSOR CLARK (of the Massachu-
sets Agricultural College," We have
used bone, potash and sulphate of mag
nesia for our peach trees, and the color
they gave to the ffhit was astonishing.
We sold our peaches, in some cases, for
dollar basket more than we could if they
had not been so handsomely colored. We
put two tons of bone, ton of potash, and
five hundred pounds sulphate of magnesia
(epsom salts) on about twelve acres"
1t should be stated that the bone-dust
used by Mr.. Hale and Mr.. Angus was
wet, coming from pone-sawing factory
where spray of water is thrown upon the
saws to keep down the dust. The moist
ure in this bone is about twenty-five per
cent, which would make the actual bone
used per acre by Mr.. Hale from seven
hundred and fifty to eleven hundred
and twenty-five pounds, and by Mr..
Angus, from four hundred and fifty
to six hundred pounds. Professor Clark
used but three hundred and thirty-three
pounds to the acre. We have used gen.
orally at the rate of three barrels (say
six hundred and fifty pounds) per acre
once in three years. But in addition we
used nearly ton of unleached hardwood
ashes, which contains, besides potash, con.
siderable phosphoric acid and magnesia.
The land gives heavy crops, and contin-
ually improves under this treatment. One
three years rotation gave, per acre-frst
year, forty-two bushels seed peas CATER
hand-picking) second year, fifty-one
bushels winter rye and six tons Hubbard
squashes; third year, eighty-four bushels
dry shelled corn. This land had during
the time a young orchard on it, which
occupied strips eight feet wide and made
good growth. The squashes were
planted between the trees.

DIR. Cutting is, and long has been, mer-
chant and the postmaster of the village of
Lunenburgh, Vt. He is Qike ourself) a
small farmer, and also Qike ourself) is
not practising physician. His degree of
MD. is an honorary one, bestowed by
Dartmouth College, in recognition of his
great and varied scientific attainments,
his skill in microscopy, and in the mount
ing Of microscopic objects, in which diff.
cult art he has no superior and few equals.
DR.. Cutting is a self-made man of great
and original genius, and Vermont is Justly
proud of him. We hope he will long
serve the people in his present Office,
where he is emphatically the right man
in the right place-a man of the people,
who knows how to talk the language of
the people eloquently, aud at the same
time safe guide on all questions of
science to which he has given his atten-
ton, and they are many.

and at the reception party, and there has
been among them all no exhibition of
'smartness' of silly self-assertion, Of
what the boys themselves call big head.
There is fun and frolic, and there is stern,
unbending principle. There is self.re-
specting dignity, and with it becoming
modesty, and under all deep, earnest in
tent to live and do for their people,"
Read that extract again, dear reader.
Take it in, and "sense it " fully. As &C.
B. S."-God bless him says, referring to
a speech of one of the graduates
"what more pregnant principle than
that 30 admirably uttered by the speaker
as pertaining to his or any other race or
class We have found that until, as q
people, we have learned to work in the
best way, we shall only be a stepping
stone to others who have.'"
Here is what we have been telling the
farmers in regard to themselves and their
own position in society and the common
wealth for all of the now nearly ten years
that we have been talking to them in this
paper. If you will not take it from us,
brother farmers, take it from this young
"nigger -" UNTIL WE HAVE LEARNED
TO WORK IN THE BEST WAY, WE SHALL
ONLY BE STEPPING STONE TO OTHERS
WHO HAVE" A man who can make the
working people of America understand
in their hearts the meaning of that one
sentence will do more for the preservation
and development of liberty in this nation
and the world than ten senate chambers
full of modern politicians.
And how shall we learn to work in the
best way2 We old men cannot. But we
can have our children so taught that they
can. The men who are TO be remembered
and loved by generations to come-if lib.
erty is preserved-are men like Peter
Cooper, with his Cooper Institute for the
working youth of New York, and Samuel
G. Armstrong, the founder of Hampton
Institute for the colored youth of this
nation. And the men who will be con-
demned will be those who have wronged
and defrauded the "little ones /" of their
country, in Withholding from them the good
gifts that were given to make them wiser
and better. There is something about
"mill-stones and depths of the sea
that we would like to quote in this con-
nection, but will not. To denounce wrong
doors is an awful duty, but there have
been times when it has been duty even
to slay them. The doings of the slave.
holders prove that men who are living
upon the fruits of wrong will not be made
to relinquish their prey by either argu-
ment or entreaty.

In Mr.. Colds Connecticut Report, a
speaker at an agricultural meeting is re-
ported as saying: " No more land should
be cultivated than can be made to yield a
full CROP" and another illustrated the
remark by giving the returns received by
one very small farmer, running farm of
five quarters of an acre. In 1882 he raised
on that acre and quarter one hundred
and fifty bushels of potatoes, sold early
for $l12 so, and five thousand punches of
celery, sold in the fall for 81, 800, making
S1912,50. He paid for help $50, and fer
tilizers $40, making $780, leaving for his
own labor and profits $1,792.50. In 1888
he raised two hundred bushels of pota-
toes, sold for $40, and twelve thousand
punches of celery, which brougt 81, 100.
Labor and fertilizers the same as in 1882
net returns $3.50. Now, ye doubling
Thomases, who find it difficult to under
stand how men can sell 81 800 or $4,000
worth annually here in Vermont, from
farms of ten or twelve acres, there is some
thing that will choke you to death.

Hewing TO the Line.

There is an effort being made, as we
infer from the following remarks in the
Farmers Reuiew of Chicago, to monkey "
with the industrial education fund in
Nebraska. The Reuiew hews to the
line as follows:
"The Morrill, bill gave to the state of
Nebraska, as to other states, certain lands,
the revenue from which was to be devoted
exclusively to the maintenance of an
agricultural and industrial college. The
state of Nebraska accepted the gift, and
has no more right to divert it from the
purpose indicated than would the states,
benefciaries of the Blair education fund,
to divert that fund to the maintenance of
criminals instead of to the education of
the young. To do so indicates no more
sense of honor than that possessed by a
common embezzler. If the college or
experimental farm is not satisfactory,
make it SO. If the national gift was not
sufficient, supplement it from the state
funds. If you don't want the gift, return
it, but do not dishonesty tack on the
college which is entitled to the fund to
the skirts of a university, in order that
the latter may benefit by the income
which properly belongs to the farmer,
and then, having done all in your power
to defeat the purposes for which you ac-
cepted the gift, propose to use it for
something else. At least, if you have no
sense, try to have a little honesty"

Two Pictures.

The Boston CuLtiUator says, quite truly
Ensilage has come to stay. The in.
stances of poor success with the silo, the
cases of spoiled ensilage, are not half so
numerous in proportion to the number OF
experimenters as the percentage of poor,
tasteless, greasy, rancid butter in the
dairy districts. Why should shiftless
and uniformed farmer make his boast
that he cannot preserve palatable ensilage
any more than others of his class should
admit their inability to raise fine fruit OF
vegetables ? There will always be a
large percentage of farmers who fail OF
making decided success of anything
they undertake. This should not dis.
courage bright men from making expert.
ments."
Aud again, in the same column, the Cul
tivator says "However much science
may have accomplished for agriculture in
general, it has signally failed in its practi-
cal Investigations concerning milk. AS
an illustration we give the following true
story: A distinguished agriculturist, who
owns a superior Jersey COW, and from
which animal his family enjoys a full sup
ply Of delicious cream and butter, sent a
shLupl6 VI uer WuOle ullh 10 al dudlyJlC
chemist, of national repute and in govern.
ment employ, for analysis. The distin-
guished man of science pronounced the
sample one of unusual poverty, entirely
unfit for general use. Such are the un-
certainties of science-at least on the
question of milk values"
And does not the C,iltiuator know that
there are incompetent chemists as we'll as
incompetent farmers? The determination
of the richness of milk, either in butter OF
casein, is comparatively simple process
quite as simple as the making of ensil
age. A chemist, whether in government
employ" or not, who could make such q
blunder in the examination of milk, must
be quite as incompetent in his business as
the worst farmer or gardener could be in
his. But the " uncertainties in either
case are not the uncertainties of sci
ence." Science is not responsible for the
failures of ignorance.

KANT is a waste product of German
salt mines. 1t retails at the mines for
81 80 ton, and is brought to this country
very cheaply, by ships which use it for
ballast. Its price in New York for the
past year has ranged from $3.50 to 1886.
In Vermont it sells at from SIS to 500.
At the latter price it costs the farmer, for
what he gets in better form in good
wood ashes, price equal at least to fifty
cents busbel for the ashes. The analy-
ses show kainit to contain ten to thirteen
per cent potash; unleached ashes contain
from six to eight per cent, besides other
valuable plant food, worth nearly as much.
