Editors PhGRi1: / understand that Mr..
Redington, in his speech at the town hall Au-
gust 8, made the assertion that more rum is
drank in Vermont, in proportion to the pop.
ulation, than in any other state" and ns a
remedy for this evil advocated a license law.
The following, from the New England Home
stead, shows how such a law works in the city
of Springfield, Mass.
That the liquor sales in Springfield are very much
restricted is shown by the big business done by the
liquor expresses from Chicopee and the fact that the
late evening trains from HoyOks and Chioopee bring
home round numbers Of wholly partially inebriaed
citizens. The arrests for drunkenness (including
cases, of course, where the liquor was procured
out Of town) compare follows with the same months

The Garden.

Prepare the soil in your garden this
fall. Manure well, pillow deep and pro-
vide drainage of some kind, and then
you can plant as soon as the frost is out
and have the crops growing while you
are planting and sowing your fields. A
garden is the most valuable part of the
whole farm in proportion to its size
yet some farmers think it is boys play
and that the manure and labor is wasted,
and will take some little, cold corner
behind the barn, where il cannot be half
plowed, and stick in a few hills of po-
tatoes and a few bean poles and q hill
of cucumbers, just before haying, and
call it a garden. They seem to think
that what is grown in the field is more
valuable, even if it is put to the same
use. What a farmer raises for the table
he does not have TO buy, and an a of
green corn from field or garden is worth
more for food than it is when ripe, and
the more attention is given to the gar
den, so as to secure green food early and
lengthen out the season by late plant
ings the cheaper the family car live and
the more fresh, enjoyable dinners they
can have on the table.
Look over q seed catalogue this fall,
now, at once, and see what you want In
the garden and then prepare your gar
den accordingly.

First, milk set at 80 degrees in water

Milk set at so degrees in water at 80

will raise more cream and make poorer

most cream is obtained from the milk
when it is set as it comes from the COW

cooled to, say, so degrees before acidi-
fication. Milk in the creamer or else
where should be cooled SO rapidly that
modification does not begin until the
cream has risen.

odd Jobs for Farmers.

There is a chance on the farm, says
the Rural New Yorker, to make use Of
idle times and rainy days, to do ore
than mend broken harness and tools,
or loaf about the barn. With a few
good tools the time can be well spent in
making such things as are needed about
house and barn, and which a be sim
ply made. 1t is often a choice between
doing without or making many conven-
lent things, and when possible, it is, of
course, the best way to make them.
After stepping up two feet to get into
the house for weeks, or using a loose,
shaking board resting on chunks of
wood for a step, the time given to make
o strong, permanent set of steps seems
we'll used. Making and driving in
strong pegs for hanging the harness, or
fashioning a box with a lid for curry
comb, cards and brushes, will make q
man wonder how he managed to do
without them. The boys will make
good use of the tools, for if they make
nothing of practical value at first, they
will learn how to use them. The chick

ladders that let the boys down faster
than they want to come, when tried,
and benches with very uneven legs,
will be followed by better work, and
convenient things will multiply under
their hands, when they fairly under
stand how to make them.

Here is the way celery is earthed up
to blanch in this neighborhood First,
the earth is worked up to it with the
hands, the leaves being held close to-
gether with one hand; this is what is
termed handling. Then it is allowed to
grow for o week or ten days, when COM
mon brown wrapping paper is wrapped
around the stalks and tied with Irvine,
and the earth is worked up to within
n inch of the top of the paper. In
about a week or ten days it is wrapped
and tied as before, and the earth is par
TALLY worked up to the top of the pa
Der. In a short time it will be blanched
sufficiently for use, which may be known
by the blanched stalks growing out at
the top of the paper. For crispness,
tenderness, and fine flavor, | think ceie-
nv grown in this way cannot be excelled.

The Cunard Steamship Company
have recently put two Of the largest
and most powerful merchant steam-
shiDs afioat in the world. These are
the Umbria and the Eutruria. II is
now about forty-five years since the
Britannia was launched. That steam
ship was considered the wonder Of the
world. She was the first Steamship
put ahoat by the Cunard Company.
That ship was 207 feet longs her ton

The n of the Entrnia expect that

and seven hours Upto this dale NO
steamships have been built for the sole
transportation Of passengers ACROSS the
Atlantic. A steamship enterprise was
planned on paper, but never got much
further. The builder Of the Eutruria
minated that the time had come when
there would be a profit in constructing
ocean steamers solely for passengers.
High speed, q good profit and all the

The New York Tribune says that one
capital error-because y waste of CAPT
tai on the farm-is to keep poor horses
and COWS. A 500 horse is not worth
oue-feurth as much as one that is worth
800. It will eat as much and cost as
much for harness, and will neither do
as much work nor live SC long. A $40

week. Another error is to work poor
land. Many . mar has broken his back
and lost his heart on a poor farm which
he has suffered to run down by bad
management. He has spread his labor
and capital over over 100 acres, when
by~ combining himself to 25 or 30. he
might have become happy and rich.
The way To- repair such q capital error
Is to begin with one field and get that
into good condition, and let the rest lie,
and SO go on through the farm. One
rich field will then make it easy to en-
rich another or two; and while the be.
ginning Is slow, it's downhill work, and

aBook Farming"

As times q 20, the book must guide
the pillow, just al the book guides the
locomotive, the steamship and the spin
die and regulates every other industry
under the sun. Farming is a progress
siye science like others of the present
time, and if the farmer is to succeed he
must keep abreast of his age. The best
doctors, lawyers. teachers and preach
ers are the men who keep up pith their
times and read everything in their line
of business; so the best farmer is he
who does likewise. No trade or pro-
fession is at present so Strong as to be
able to dispense with literary assistance;
none is SO weak as not to seek it. The
literature of any trade is but the record
of the successes or failures of those who
have engaged in it. Men learn by their
mistakes quite as much as by their sue
cesses, and sometimes better, and the
literature Of farming is but the record
of what the farmers of the world have
done for their calling. He who knows
why others have succeed ed and where
they have failed, will be armed for success
and steeled against failure; so the book
and the pillow should go hand in hand,
and the man who holds the one should
hold the other also. The age when
men conld farm without reading has
gone by, and the farmer who does not
read will End himself so far behind his
calling IN everything as to render him
q useless member Of his grange.

fai grrors is for the farmer TO neglect
his own improvement and education.
A man who has $4,000 in farm and

Among the dear delights of the young
ONE of the period let us recommend
pedestrianism. Walking clubs are
among the popular organizations this
summer. A coaching club is more OF
less of an expense, but the highways
are free to foot passengers. A number
of clubs, composed entirely of young
ladies, heye been organized for brief
summer rambles of a days duration.
The costume adopted is usually 8
rough-and-ready mountain suit, with .
helmet hat, stout shoes, perhaps of al
ligator skin, with a small knapsack and
walking stick. When the party lie
formed for a tour through the noun
tains or lakes there is usually a n addi-
ton of gentlemen and chaperones. The
gentlemen adopt a knickerbocker cos
tune, which is found to be of service
in wheel parties" or bicycle meets.
