night. DR.. G.. IL. Shoes of Boston

north of this place and half way to

considerable time there this summer.
Last night himself aud wife came MP
on the late train from Boston, arrived
at Dummerston depot about II O'Clock,
where they were met with team by
the hired man. The distance from the
depot to the house is about mile,
the road being dark one. When
about half way from the depot to the
farm Il masked man suddenly jumped
from behind a large rock aud fired four
shots at the party in quick succession.
Three shots struck the horse, which
died after reaching home, the fourth
passing over the party. There is no

after cutting places for the eyes. The
object of the attack is unknown, unless
it be robbery.

TX 3 Spontaneous Barn Burning.


It is noticeable that larger number
of the burnings OF barns is mentioned
b, the periodical press in the summer
than at any other time. Sumo of the
fires are undoubtedly caused by light
ming, the moist vdpOr from the uncured
hay making IA favorable conductor for
the electric fluid. But there are barn
fires which cannot be attributed to light
ming, to lighting of matches, to lIgut
from lanterns, nor to the invasions of
careless tramps. 1t may be that the
spontaneous combustion of hay is as
possible as the spontaneous firing of
cotton waste. All iibrous material,
when moist, and compressed, and de-
Tended from the cooling influences of
the outward air, is subjected to Il heat
ing similar TO that of fermentation and
in some instances the degree of heat is
sufficient to cause actual, visible COM
bustion. In the case of recently
"cured' hay this danger is as great as,
in similar circumstances, other mater
ials may be. Frequently the grass is cut
in the early morning, while wet with
dew is turned twice during the day,
and gathered and packed in the "mow''
or the ebay" before nightfall with per-
haps sparse sprinkliug Of salt. Such
Il compressed mass OF fibrous, moist
matter will heat. How far the heat
will 90 toward generating "a combus-
ton may be inferred from "A foolish
trick which the writer witnessed several
years ago.

a shower threatening, the cocks were
covered with caps of canvas and left
for the night. While getting the hay
in, the next day, one of the workinen
dropped al unlighted match from his
minutes it was ablazc. 1t was ascer-
tanned that he had spoken of the
warmth of the hay as he lifted it on his
fork, when n companion remarked that
1t might be hot enough TO light match
on which he put match into Il rick
and before they had passed ON five min
ntcs the rick was OF fire.
Everybody cOnvcrsant with tarm- life
where hay is permanent and an i'm
portant crop, knows that for weeks af-
ter getting in tie hay the barn is warm
when the doors are opened in the
morning. There is an amount of heat
that is absolutely unpleasant when the
thermometer outside registers GO : but
which is quite welcome with the out
side TEN peraturc ut 100. This barn
heat is undoubtedly from the moist
hay, compacted and incloscd. The
cnre for the possible danger of possible
spontaneous barn burning would seem
to be the thorough curing drying OF
the nay before it is housed. We dry
all our herbs and some of our vegeta-
bles without injuring their peculiar and
individual qualities. There is no rca.
son why hay or other fodder material
stored i'll large masses should not he
rendered equally innoXous to the influ-
cnces of heat by thorough drying

Marketing Wool.

A correspondent of the Farming
JVO1M thinks there is little if any ex-
cuse for sending wool to market as
many farmers do. Wool should be
clear of burs, as experience has shown
that il is poor economy to try TO sell
wool full of burs. There is too much
dockage you have to sell the burs
at high price to get rid of the wool.
Do not at the start allow the sheep to
run in the forests that are full of burs ;
there is too much loss in selling the
wool; when it comes to taking half
prices for the crop because of it'll
carelessness, it takes too much out of
the profits. Any man who has ever
given the matter anything like fair
trial knows that it lacks considerable
of being an easy task to pick the burs
out of the wool when they are there in
sufficient quantities to make a great
difference in the price.

A Vermont Farmer on the Tariff.

AS there is quite IA mistaken idea pre-
valent among good many of our YER
mont farmers (and | fear it is so else
where) in regard to the protection they
actually received by tariff on foreign
imports, think it is your duty to eX-
plain in a positive manner wherein
and how they are benefited. am a
farmer myself, and | have occasion
by my association with such to con-
verse with them upon this subject, and
the idea is quite general that tariff pro-
lection does not, only in small meas
urc, apply to the farming classes, and
they get the idea from the Democratic
and free trade journals that the system
is sort of give and receive; that what
they get extra for the produce, etc,
they sell, they have TO pay out again
for extra cost of living, and ;his, sir, is
the error in their minds which wish
to have corrected. They do not know
or understand that over 5000 900, 200
of imports have already been placed
upon the free list; that almost all arti-
Giles of groceries such as they consume
Except SUGAR. like teas, coflees and
spices, and other like articles that en-
ter into consumption by our farmers,
are now actually upon the free list, and
that no lower prices could be expected
on these articles in any event; and they
do not know or understand how great
the protection is they have from the
government by the tariff. Let me IL
lustrate to you the benefits receive in.
dividually upon my own farm, and if
it is not proof conclusive that protcc-
ton is OF the greatest benefit to the
farmer, then let any farmer take his
own farm product and figure upon it,,
