A Short Sermon on Tobacco.

My brethren, will take for my text
this verse Thy sons should not smoke
nor thy daughters snuff of the pestiferous
tobacco" Many years ago Satan took a
tobacco seed and cast it into the ground
1t grew and became great plant, and
spread its leaves rank and broad. And il
came to pass, in the course of time, that
the sons of men looked upon it, and some
of them thought it beautiful to look upon
and much to be desired to make lads look
big and manly, so they put forth Their
hands and did gather and chew thereof
and some it made sick, and others to ex
pectorate most filthy. Aud it also came
to pass, that those who chewed it became
weak and unmanly, and they found thai
they were enslaved. And Satan laughed
And in the course of time it came also tt
pass that old ladies snuffed it, and they
were suddenly taken with fits, in conse
quence thereof, and they did sneeze, ant
sneeze, insomuch that their eyes were
filled with tears, and they did look ex
ceedingly funny. And yet others fool
ishly wrought the leaves thereof into rolls
and did set fire to one end thereof, anC
did look very grave and wise while thu
smoke assembled. And Satan laughed
And the cultivation thereof became {
great and mighty business in the earth
Merchantmen waxed rich by the com
MERGE thereof. The poor, that could no
buy shoes, nor bread, nor books for thei
little ones, spent their money for it. Ant
Satan laughed. Now, my brethren, ceas'
from this evil thing that you do. b
slaves no more.

ashes at twenty cents per bushel. Where
can l get pure fine bone meal, and at what
price Please answer in THE VERMONT
WAToHMAN, and oblige yours truly, s."
REPLY BY AGRICULTURAL EDIToR.-
We have never grown onions exclusively
with artificial fertilizers, but we know it
can be done, if the land is otherwise
suited to the crop. We use about one-half
manure for the acre of onions we usually
grow, the land being rather sandy and
needing vegetable matter Of some sort.
This has been supplied, however, in our
correspondents case, by blowing down the
green crop last fall. If we had such a
piece as we understand this to be, we
would, as soon as it is dry enough to 60
on to in the spring, SOW on one ton of fine
ground bone and twenty-five bushels of
good unleached ashes, harrow thoroughly,
and then rake and plant. If we could
not get the ashes, we would order three
hundred pounds of muriate of potash to
use in its place. Both of these (the bone
and the potash sslt) can be bought of the
fertilizer makers and dealers, or of any
large dealer in agricultural supplies.
"S." must not expect to get " boss u
crop of onions the first year. Let him
buy the very best seed (Buxton's, Gregg
rvs, or Low's), SOW in rows eighteen
inches apart, and use not over three
pounds of seed to the acre.

BEE-KEEPING FOR PRoFIT."-We are
indebted to the author, Mrs. Lizzie E.
Cotton of Gorham, Maine, for copy of
the second edition of her work, describing
her New System of Bee Management
We are not bee expert, in fact we never
owned hive of bees, and consequently
we are not qualified to judge of Mrs. Cot
toms book properly. But we have read it
with interest, and it seems to us to con-
tain much that would be valuable, at
least to beginner. From Mrs. Cotton's
success, as we'll as that of other ladies, it
would appear that Bookkeeping is an art
which women can carry on successfully,
and with profit. The book is a neatly
bound octave volume of one hundred and
fifty pages, with illustrations, and is sold
by the author at 81, free by mail.

Strong Drink Makes Weak.

Strong drink is, in a sense, the weakest
of all drinks in its fruits, and the most
prodigal also of that which is not only the
strength but the glory of man. 1t en-
feebles his body and hurls the mind from
the loftiest and most brilliant emineuce
and lays it PROSTATE in the dust of inert
imbecility or driveling idiotism. II
squanders the money, and leaves families
in squalor and discomfort who would other
wise be we'll clothed and happy. The
landlords pleasant greeting is hollowness
itself, rendered even more hollow still by
the mercenary inspiration which prompts
it. We do not light fires for the behring's
comfort but to roast him. "But, doctor
| must have some kind of stimulant,
cried the invalid, earnestly. 81 am weak
and it strengthens me. am cold, and il
warns me-" Precisely" came the old
doctors truthful answers. See here
this stick is cold," taking up stick Of
wood from the box beside the hearth and
tossing it into the fire" now it it warm
But is the stick benefited ?" The SICK
man watched the wood first send out lit
tie puffs of smoke and then burst into
flame, and replied; "Of course not it il
burning itself.' "And so are you when
you warm yourself with alcohol. You are
literally burning up the delicate tissues
of your stomach and brain. Every time
you are taking it to give you strength
you are becoming weak. And the stronger
the liquor is, the weaker it makes the
driuker."

AT dinner of Boston merchants the
other day, Senator Hoar wildly presented
the marvellous growth in business and in
crease in wealth of the United States.
He said, what few Americans have ever
thought, that our accretions were such
that every morning the sun rises on our
fifty millions of people there is trans
ferred from income to capital 81, 100000,
one-third of the amount laid up by the
entire people of the GLOBE" though this
vast sum is only five cents head aver
aged among fifty millions. If the money
spent by the people for rum and tobacco
could also be saved in the same way, the
wealth of the country would increase at
least twice as fast.

Branching Trees.

When men cultivate any kind of tree
or take it into their care by transplanting
and growing, they generally interfere with
its top. Fruit trees are objects of the
most care, but shade trees are often of
equal value. The branch of a fruit tree
should join the trunk as nearly horizontal
as possible. If low branching is prac-
ticed, the branches started two or three
feet from the ground will generally take a
perpendicular growth, and make a tree
with as many trunks as there are good
branches left at that height, and the place
OF joining is comparatively weak, so that

Three PecuIiarities

The superior qualities Of Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla are secured by three peculiarties; viz:
First. The combination of remedial agents
used.
Second. The proportion in which they
are mixed.
Third. The process by which the active
medicinal properties are secured.
These are peculiar to Hoods Sarsaparlla,
and are unlike any other. The result of these
peculiarities is medicine Of unusual strength,
which effects cures hitherto unknown. A
trial, or even glance at the article, inspires
confidence, because it bears unquestionable
indication of a thorough understanding on the
part of those who originated it.

Planting by the Thermometer.

The Rio Grande New Jersey sor.
ghum sugar company plants its cane by
the thermometer. That is, il tests the
temperature of the soil to show if it is
sufficiently high to ensure the germina
ton of the seed unless it shows
temperature at or above fifty degrees at
a depth of six inches, planting is delayed
till the temperature rises to this point, as
it has been found that if below fifty
degrees, the seed will not terminate, and
if it does not rot, will lie dormant while
the weeds are all the time getting start.
Corn probably requires about the same
temperature for termination that cane
does, and it would be well for farmers to
adopt the same plan as the Rio Grande
company. Seed comparatively weak in ger
minating properties will grow if the con-
ditions are all favorable, the ground well
prepared and the temperature sufficiently
high, while such seed would be almost
certain to rot if planted in soil of tenn
perature below the terminating point.
We cut the above from an exchange,
because we believe the views expressed
are not only correct, but also that the
facts are far too little known, or under
stood, in regard to the termination Of
seeds. We have had this strongly i'm
pressed upon our own mind by the expe-
riences of the last two very bad corn
years. We have been in the habit of
selling seed corn, which we take every
pains possible to have perfectly sound
and good. Yet during the seasons of 1882
and 1883 many of the persons who had their
seed-corn of us complained that it ger
minated badly, or not at all. In all these
cases the seed was planted early, or upon
moist cold ground. Using seed from the
very same lot as was sold from to these
purchasers, we had an excellent stand
and fine crop of corn in both years, and
this simply because we went, in planting,
not by the day of the month, but by the
temperature of the soil. In those years
there were very few places indeed in Ver-
mont where it was safe to plant even the
most perfect seed-corn during the month
of May; yet many did so, lost their seed
and their labor, and came back upon the
scotsman with complaints and demands
for the return of their money, and even
for damages. Though we had the same
corn growing strongly in the field when
these demands were made, yet knowing
how vain it was to try to make any man
believe that the fault was his lack of
caution or knowledge, we returned the
money and resolved to make an end OF
the seed-corn trade, 80 far as we are
concerned at least, until the facts noted in
the above extract are better understood
by those whose business it ought to be to
understand them.

AgrirnHnraL
BrOad-Casting Fertilizers.

DIR. Cuttings remarks on this subject
fully confirm the results of our own expe-
rience. DIR. Cutting says he examined
his corn-feld, planted in hills four feet
apart each way, without being able to
find single cubic inch of soil, one inch
below the surface, that was not permeated
with rootlets of the corn to the depth Of
at least ten inches. Such facts as these
show the folly of using any fertilizer in
the hill. You cannot hide it in your field
80 the roots will not find it. If spread
on, and distributed, in the soil, they will
find uniform supply through the season,
instead of too much at one time and not
enough at another.
