APPROPRIATIONS DISCUSSED.


The limit Of the appropriation for rivers and
harbors for the next fiscal year was informally
discussed to-day by the house committee having
in charge those subjects. While no decision was
reached, the majority of the committee seemed
to favor an appropriation of not mora than ten
millions, and expressed themselves as desirous, if
possible, to confine it within nine millions.
The estimates of the engineer and officials
having in charge the imrovements on rivers and
harbors amount to about $35, ,O00, 600. The
committee thought it Impossible to secure the
passage of so large an appropriation bill, and
cited the failure of the bill of last congress,
which appropriated only about $4,000 600.
The plan which the committee proposes, to fol-
low is to recommend an average of about one
fourth of the estimate made by the engineers
where the Improvements are in progress. La
some cases, where the work is of great pu bic
importance, the appropriation will be as
near the estimates as the committee
can make them. Some Improvements of an en-
tirely local nature will not be considered. The
committee decided to hold a session four days
every week, in order that the bill may be pre-
pared as speedily as possible. It is thought it
will be ready to be reported by tie last of April
or the first of May, aad will provide for making
the appropriations Immediately available.

REPEAL OF APPROPRIATIONS.


bill was introduced by Senator Beck to-day,
to repeal certain permanent annual appropria-
tons, which twice passed the senate in the for
mer congresses, but failed in the house
1t was approved by Secretary Sher-
man. Among the permanent appropriations
which will be reported, is one for five al half
millions for the collection of customs. The
passage of the bill now is said to be addition
ally important by reason of the fact that the
secretary of the treasury has recommended a
consolidation of the customs districts, and this
re ommendation cannot be acted upon advised y
while the annual appropriations remain at the
old figures. The bill practically repeals all the
permanent or indefinite appropriation exs ept
the sinking fund and the payment of
principal and interest of the national
debt The expenses OF the marine hospital SER
vice and Smithonian Institution, the refunding
of taxes and customs dues illegally collected, and
the payment of interest on various classes Oh OBJ
legations guaranteed by the government.

than it would cost to buy the same
goods in the Boston market. Potatoes
have been retailing in Boston at sixty
five to seventy cents bushel. The
Passumpsic railroad (and all other roads
in the state do the same), taking pota-
toes by the carload at 10 cents bushel,
charge dollar a barrel to the shipper
of few barrels. Last year we paid
ninety cents barrel to get small lot
of apples from Franklin county to New
port. We were informed recently in
Grand Isle that the Fairbankses of st.
Johnsbury were buying apples there
for their own sales (they keep an ex-
tensve store, as well as scale works),
and that in small or large quantities
they went for twenty-five cents bar
rel, including boat freight from the is
land to Maquam; but other parties
could get no such rates. We paid the
Passumpsic railroad 1878 for bringing
yearling Jersey heifer from West
Burke to Newport, which would have
paid the fare of three persons in the
palace cars for the same distance.
Every farmers experience is identical,
and there is a plain purpose to prevent,
by these prohibitory rates, all direct
trade between producers and consum-
ers, except in such concentrated pro-
ducts as butter We are told that this
| is done in the interest of the express
companies, in which officers of the
roads are often stockholders, the pur-
pose being to throw all that business
| into the hands of those companies.
But if that is the purpose it over
reaches itself, for none of the coarse
| products of the farm can stand the big
freights, and still less the higher charges
by express or large packages. The inn
putation of motives by guess is both
| wrong and unsatisfactory, and we do
not wish to engage in it. But the facts
as stated stand out undisputed and in
disputable. For some reason or other,
our Vermont railroads have determined
that they will not carry freight in small
lots at rates that producers and consum-
ers can live by.
We think the governor is also mis-
taken when he says that our corporations
cannot make carload freight more rea-
sonable, on account of the charges of
the lower roads. One thing is certain,
where they meet competition by water,
as along Lake Champlain, they give
much lower rates to Boston than they
do in other parts of the state. We have
friends growing fine crops (seeds, etc. }
along Lake Champlain who can get
| freight to market so much lower than
we can that it is impossible for us to
compete with them in the same goods.
The difference in freight alone would
make handsome profit. These are
goods that cannot always be shipped
in carload lots, but the difference
is large either way. If we had a
railroad commission worth row OF
pins, with just and effective laws to
back them, all these wrongs and many
others could be righted. 1t remains
with the legislature to say whether such
needed justice shall be accorded to the
people.

More About Ground Bone.

steam-rendered ground bone,' (not
having the raw and claim it to be
cheaper and better for the purpose of

will furnish it at $35 per ton on board

retailed by the barrel in your vicinity
last spring for two and three-fourths
cents, can you not ascertain where /
can get it? If l cannot get that and
choose to use the steamed and ground
shall use ashes with it by mixing in
barrels, wetting, etc?'
REPLY BY AGRICULTURAL EDIToR.-
The steamed and ground bone has had
nearly all the fat and part of the gel
atine extracted by the steaming pro-
cess, which obviates the necessity of
wetting it up with unleached ashes,
that being mainly to saponify or "kill"
the grease and soften the gelatine.
This steamed and ground bone is worth
about as much as any other kind,
pound for pound, but so far as the
gelatine has been extracted it is weaker
in heterogeneous material, which may be
replaced by mixing twenty-five to forty
pounds of sulphate of ammonia, or one
hundred pounds of cotton seed meal,
with each barrel. The bone saw
ings" are very fine, nice and strong
form of bone meal, produced by the
makers of bone goods. The grease has
been extracted by chemical process,
and the bone bleached, so that the bone
sawdust is very pure and free from all
useless material, but the price is pro-
portionally high, being a cent more per
pound than the steamed and ground
bone, which is only inferior in being
not so clean and free of foreign ma
terial, and in having some of its gela-
tine extracted. But in compensation
for that the proportion of phosphoric
acid is increased. Taken all in all, we
do not think there is over one-third of
a cent of real difference between them,
and we would buy the steamed and
ground always at 1916 per ton, rather
than pay sos for the bone savings, of
which the supply is small and uncertain.
