How Watch Cases are Made.

1t is fact not generally known that the
James Boss Gold Watch Cases really con-
tain more pure gold than many "solid"
gold cases The demand for these watch
cases has led to the manufacture of a very
poor grade of solid gold watch cases
low in quality, and deficient in quantity.
These cases are made from AZ to 10 karats,
and or karat case is often sold for II
or IA karats. 1t is NOT economy to buy a
watch case so poor in quality that it will
soon lose its color, or one SO soft that it will
lose its shape and fail to shut tight, thus
letting in dust and damaging the works, or
one SO thin that slight blow will break
the crystal, and perhaps the movement.
1t IS economy to buy James Boss Gold
Watch Case, in which NONE of these things
ever occur. This watch case is not an erperi-
ment-it has been made nearly thirty years.

The Agricultural College.

Referring to our structures upon the
perversion of the funds of the Vermont
Agricultural College, the agricultural
editor of the Phenir says:
awe are, without doubt, not in posses.
sion of all the facts that might bear in
defense of this charge. Doctors of Di-
vinity, of Law and Philosophy are not
usually considered less scrupulous than
others in the use of public trusts. 1t is
a fact for which, perhaps, the college
itself is not alone to blame, that it is and
has been very short of agricultural stu.
dents. Without such students it is diff.
cult to make it the leading object of the
college to teach such branches of learning
as are related to agriculture and the me-
chanic arts, if that is really intended or
desired by the college managers"
Yes, that is true. And equally true it
is that an agricultural college with no
agricultural teachers is not likely to
attract agricultural students. In that
way it is very easy to keep free from such
students, and then allege their absence as
the reason why no agricultural instruction
is offered. A Doctor of Divinity need
not be wise beyond what is written TO
devise such transparent excuse for a
breach of trust as that. In reference to
the agricultural attachment to the Wis
consin University, presided over by the
same sort of Doctor, it was recently stated
at public meeting in which the said
Doctor was present, and not denied, that
he advised students desiring to enter the
industrial department not to do 80. We
quote the words of the man who boldly
made this charge: "Why do not young
men 60 to this agricultural course2 1
would ask President Bascom what kind
OF advice he gave j. M. Bailey of Prescott,
and his son, in regard to what course the
boy should take when he proposed to
enter this agricultural course. | have a
record of the statement he made. Pro.
lessor Sterling, it is understood, gave the
same kind Of counsel. 1t was that agricul-

no longer count upon this as factor OF
the commercial problem. There is no
prospect of scarcity abroad to create
demand for the American product, and it
would be the supremest sefishness to wish
for such stimulsnt to the market. It is
an interesting, though perhaps not espe-
cially significant fact, that the loss of
specie which this country has undergone
since the LIST of last January corresponds
very nearly with the decline in the grain
exports up to May 3lst. Both are in the
neighborhood of forty millions of dollars
and whatever may be said of the effect of
vicious legislation relative to silver coin
age the fallacies of the bi-metallists, and
other fsvorite topics of financial contro-
versy, the obvious fact of the case is that
when we do not send our products to Eu-
rope, to pay for what we buy there, we are
compelled to send coin instead. The nor
NAL condition of the United States, it
may be said, is that of an exporter of
gold and silver, both of which metals it
produces largely. But 1t does occasionally
sell 80 much wheat, corn and cotton in
the foreign market-as in 1880 and 1881
that it not only keeps its own product
of specie at home, but draws very largely
on the accumulated coin of Europe.
Whenever this has happened its effect
has been realized in the prevalence of
good times. How a contrary state of
things is felt the depression of the past
year has wildly shown"

VermOnt's POmOlOgy.

Our co-laborers (who did most of the
work) will be glad to know that the Ver-
mont report to the American Pathological
Society is receiving many approving no
tees from the agricultural and horticul-
tural press. The Home Farm of Maine
says: "The report of DR.. Hoskins is
worthy of the highest praise; it is a
model. But it is matter of much regret
that the great fruit-growing state of Maine
has so meagre report-a dozen lines of
no value whatever. 1t is too bad" Well,
Brother Boardman, two years ago the
small fruit-growing state of Vermont was
in the same predicament. But at the
expense of few brief letters we were
able to collect from all parts of the state
the reports which, with little arrange.
ment on our part, you so highly compli-
ment. The chief credit is due to Messrs.
j. T. Macomber of Grand Isle, L. M.
Macomber of North Ferrisburgh, j. H.
Putnam of Saxton's River, o. II. Alex
ander of Charlotte, Aaron Webster of
East Roxbury and A. C. Hitchcock of
Westfield. These gentlemen made the
report, and all the credit due to us is that
of asking them to do it. 1t seems that
we know who to ask.

ture ,ods rather a loD study at the University
and had they not better take some other
course 2" The same speaker said he
went to one of the boarding clubs of the
University, where some thirty students
boarded, and enquired whether similar adj
vice was not given them. "The first one
said he had not any such advice. Another
one said, it is no use 10 tell any such stuff
as that and he told what it was, and who
said it. Then they all said, Yes, they
told us so and So and 1t was all on the
same strain. When they would have
served the Lord the same advice was
given to them that was given to Adam
and Eve" The Presidential Doctor sat
and heard this statement, but remained
silent.
The Phenir editor says in continuation /:
"Thst Vermont has no college where
the leading object is to teach the branches
most related to agriculture and the me.
chanic arts is too evident. 1t is true that
small per cent of the $4,000 which
the Burlington University has received as
income from the agricultural college fund
has been expended directly in the inter-
ests of agriculture by the employment of
DR.. Greasy to lecture on the diseases of
animals, of Professor Atwater to lecture
on agricultural chemistry, and of few
other lecturers, and in the printing and
distribution of few agricultural tracts,
including President Buckham's very good
advice about the training of George"
who proposes to be farmer. Making an
extremely liberal allowance for the cost
of all this, there remains, say $4,000,
which the college has received for the
benefit of practical industrial education,
for which it has very little or nothing in
that line of leading character such as
the act of congress required from the col
leges thus endowed, to show. When, un-
der the law passed at the last session of
the legislature, the farmers of this state
wanted few samples of fertilizers ana
lyzed, there was good opportunity for
the college to use trife of its agricul-
tural income for legitimate purpose ;
but the college thought it ought to be
paid 1926 for each analysis, and the un-
grateful state provided that the Univer-
sity of Vermont and State Agricultural
College should receive S. for each ana
lysis made under the provisions of the
act, whichfwas accepted, in consideration
of the $4,000 annually received from the
agricultural college fund"

In the Capitals.

Those of us who may chance to be in a
state capital next fall, when the legislature
is in session, will see number of inter-
esting sights, especially if they have a
friend with them who is posted to point
them out. He will see number of men
there, elected by the people to represent
them, whom the posted man will tell you,
truly, are there in fact to represent the
interests of railroad corporations. Let
any bill be introduced in the senate, preiu-
dicial to these corporations-say bill to
reduce fares or equalize freights-and no
particular activity will be noticed among
these men. The senate consists of but a
few men, and their nominations were seen
to in advance. Generally the majority
are "all right" and will not see any harm
come to sny-we will not say rich corpor-
ation-but corporation with rich and lib
eral managers. If, however, by any bad
luck, there is small majority of indie
pendent senators, a quiet influence soon
swings enough of them to make majority
the other way. A curious phenomenon
that is sometimes seen is senator very
keen for popular rights in his talk and
his speeches, who, for some very good

The Department OF Agriculture.

When DR.. Loring went into the agri-
cultural department at Washington he be-
gan by making grand flourish about the
incompetency of his predecessors, stopped
everything that General LIE Due had
started, and wanted the world to look to
see what he was going to do. Well, his
term has nearly expired, and what has he
done He has displayed his elegant per-
son upon unnumbered platforms he has
tried to get the commissionship made a
cabinet Office he has besieged congress
for larger appropriations, for which he
has nothing of Importance to show; he
has done nothing to stop the crying abuses
of the department, such as the free dis
tribution of cheap and common seeds, the
furnishing of congressman with costly
free bouquets for their sometimes far too
numerous female friends, ETC., etc. In fact,
he has done nothing but demonstrate
to the country what has long been known
in New England--that he is a handsome,
selfish, incompetent office-seeker, making
use of pretended devotion to agricul.
ture in order to get support from the
fancy farmers, and others who don't know
him. In short, he is a failure and fraud.

reason, always either votes as the corpora
tions wish, or stays away, that there may
be no majority against them.
But perhaps the bill objected to by the
corporations may be introduced into the
house of representatives Then you will

Gas busy as bee in tar-bucket." The
list of members is all made out, and in
three hands. Some are marked call

perhaps the largest number are marked
doubtful" These doubtful ones are
labored with if needful, men known to
be particularly influential with them are
sent for; they are talked over, If possible,
and then, if more are still needed to make

who have stood out with that object are
bought for cash, or anything they would
prefer, that can be got for them.
Every large interest has its workers and
its lobby, except the agricultural interest.
This is the greatest of all in value and
Importance, but it is dispersed in so many
places and among so many people, and
each individual interest is 80 small, that
the farmers have no real power whatever
in legislative bodies. Put up a measure
against q railroad and there are hosts
brought there as fast as telegraph and
train will bring them. Put up measure
that will either harm or help the farmers,
and the farmers will have the least infu
ence of any in determining the result.
And the worst of it is that apparently
there is no help for this state of things.

The Protected and the Unprotected.

The government has been giving liberal
protection, by the way of the tariff, to our
infant manufactures for now over forty
years. And those interested in the mat
ter still claim that these manufactures
will die incontinently unless they are still
literally fed upon treasury pap in the
form of forty per cent duties. Yet it is
a fact, as shown by the subjoined extract
from the Mechanical News, that it is only
our great unprotected agricultural indus

of our exports, or preserves us from an
injurious loss of the specie needed to sup

THAT teacher is the most successful

THE best education is the one that best
develops the power to work effectively to
accomplish results.

DoN'T bring up your boys to any of the
parasitical occupations. 1t degrades

MENTAL development is the result of
sturdy thought, coupled with labor. 1t is
not accomplished by any pumping into.
IT is necessary not only to know, but
to know how to use your knowledge. An
impractical education is often rather a
curse than blessing.
The man who succeeds is he who feels
that upon his success everything depends.
He is successful in proportion as he has
tue sense VI responsibility.
In our higher institutions of learning,
where studies are specialized, ministers
should teach ministers, physicians teach
physicians, lawyers teach lawyers, soldiers
teach soldiers, and farmers teach farmers.

THE Dutch florist who politely informed

In Mississippi, Texas, Michigan and

seed meal as a fertilizer is easily calculated
in comparison with commercial fertilizers,
from the analysis, which is as follows:
Nitrogen, per cent or 800 TBS per ton at s2l 80
Phosphoric acid per cent 80 TBS per at &c., 4s0
Potash per cent, or 40 lbs per ton, at 5c... 200
Total. 81 40
This is what it is worth as a fertilizer.
But if we feed it it is worth as much as
corn-meal, or say $35 per ton, and the
manure from ton, if both the liquids and
solids are saved, is worth at least 800 per
ton, or $40 if only the solids are saved,
making the total feeding and fertilizing
value of ton of cotton.seed meal from
Si2 to $50 per ton.
But it should be we'll understood that

ing stuff. 1t is too rich to be used alone
for either purpose. As fertilizer it has
far too much nitrogen for its phosphoric
acid or its potash. To make a good gen.
eral fertilizer it ought to be mixed with
materials to supply both of the latter in
about the following proportions
Two thousand pounds cotton-seed meal
One thousand pounds good unleached wood ashes
One thousand pounds plain acid phosphate.
Or, for soils where potash does no good:
Two thousand pounds cotton-seed meal,
Two thousand pounds plain acid phosphate.
The former will cost, in Vermont, about
$53 for the two tons, and be as good as
as the average commercial phosphate, of
which two tons costs from $75 to 800.
The second will cost $50 per ton, and will
also be equal in value as fertilizer, on
the proper soil, to any $45 fertilizer.
AS feeding material, cotton-seed meal
is too rich in albuminoids, and should be
diluted with other meals poor in those
elements, such as corn.meal, two or three
quarts to one quart of cotton.seed meal !;
or it may be fed in connection with ensil-
age or corn-fodder, say two quarts day ;
or with oat-straw, one quart of cotton
seed meal and two quarts of corn.meal
per day. This would be An average feed,
to be enlarged or diminished according to
the weight and condition of the animal
With poor hay about the same should be
fed as with oat-straw, and with good hay
one pint of cotton.seed meal and two
quarts of corn-meal. In these proportions
and quantities we do not think the quality
or flavor of the milk of dairy COWS would
ever be injured.
