BROTHER STONE of the Californian, in
his desire TO make strong statement
of his sufferings, is led into inaccuracy.
The Vermont Farmer was not started
in st. Johnsbury, but in Newport, where
it was printed nearly twoyears. In Sep
TENDER, 1872, its originators (of which
we were one) learned that the st. Johns
bury Times was on its last legs, and its
material and small list of subscribers
for sale. We bought the office, and
that was the end of the Times. How
much money had been sunk in that
paper we don't know, but no doubt it
was considerable. If the Farmer went
to st. Johnsbury to supply "long-felt
want" it was not supposed by its
owners to be want of the local public,
but its own want of more central loca-
ton for a paper seeking state circula-
ton. 1t was never in the least rival to
the Caledonidn, eitherfor advertising or
local patronage, and had as large lists in
several other counties as it had in Gale
donia. AS to its prosperity, it had as
many subscribers nearly four thou
sand) when we sold our interest in it
as all the other papers in the county
put together. This we can show by the
printed list. We brought considerable
number of these to The WATCHMAN
while the Farmer ''petered out" in
less than two years because its eco
nomical publisher tried to run ii without
a competent editor, and without any
knowledge of the business, other than
the mechanical part. Mr.. stones coup
ling of the Times and Farmer, as the
d" Times Farmer" is preposterous. AS

A Corner What-NOt.

Here is my plan for making corner
what-not of paper-one really beauti-
full and well worth place in every par
lor in the land: Q) Procure dimes
worth of common brown wrapping pa
per and some cardboard. (Old paste
board boxes are equally as good.) From
the cardboard cut out the first shelf
twenty-eight inches long, three inches
wide, with three points projecting
downward four inches in the shape of a
triangle with its base upward. Cut for
the other shelves in similar manner,
but the spaces between the points must
be shortened, so as to make the second
twenty-four inches and the third twenty
inches in length. For the vase, draw a
circle with a diameter of eight inches;
from the center of the circle, and per-
pendicuar to the diameter, draw line
ten inches in length; connect the end of
the line and both ends of the diameter
by direct lines. Cut by these last lines
and that half of the circle which is not
crossed by any line and you have tri-
angle with circular base. (2) From
the wrapping paper cut square whose
edge is three inches; number the cor
ners /, 2, 3 and 4. Fold l and 3 to-
gether, then 2 and 4, and you have a
three-cornered scrap four double. Now
draw line from the middle of the sur
face to the opposite point, fold the sides
into this line, and you have the point
complete. Now make another point as
large again by cutting the paper six
inches square instead of three inches.
Now cut scrap two inches square and
number the corners as before. Now
fold to 3, then 2 to 3, then to 3, and
you have a scrap to be used for trim.
mings. (3) Take your first cardboard
hold it with the points toward you, and
sew two rows of the smaller points
(Which you have previously made after
the sample) on the straight edge, after
the fashion of scales on fish, letting
the points project from you. Sew the
points in like manner on the near edge
projecting outward from the edge all
the time. Sew on the points until the
only space that remains bare is near The
center of the base of the projections OF
the cardboard. Now take your larger
points and sew on this bare spot, form
ing a five or siX-pointed star, as desired
There is still left ragged place in thu
center of the star, in which set ceda
cone by means of sealing-waX. There
is still ragged line where the last
points you sewed on meet the first two
rows. Take your scraps of trimming
like the sample and sew on this line
turning the points to the right, and lie
them overlap, as the others. Prepare
for the other shelves in the same man
ner and the vase likewise, except tn,
trimmings. (4) Take black varnisl
and give the whole work two or tire,
coats. When dry it is ready to mount
This is done by lacking it on the edge

The Cost of a Ton Of Hay.

Brother Gilbert of the Maine Farmer
has an article on this subject which is
more substantial in its data than most
such estimates are. Maine is a great
hay-growing and hay-exporting state,
and its farmers are being stirred up to
raise more stock and consume this i'm
portant product at home. Some of the
most experienced hay-growers in the
state who have kept accounts with their
business, agree substantially upon the
cost of growing hay for sale, and the
average of their estimates (Which vary
but little), is put at SLIGO per ton
that is, a farmer on good natural grass
land only gets a new dollar for an old
one where he sells his hay off the farm
at that price. This makes it fair bust
ness, only when the price of hay for
shipment is SIS, which is above the
average price in Maine. 1t should be
said that in the cost price above given
everything is embraced-interest on
the value of the land maintaining the
fertility of the farm, labor, taxes, wear
and tear of implements, and all other
legitimate outgoes chargeable to the
crop
In this connection estimates are also
made of the cost of hay to be fed out on
the farm. For such hay there is reduc-
ton to be made for the value of the ma
nure, cost of marketing hay, etc. The
figures given for the cost of this hay
average 1894. OF course the care
taken in saving all the manure, solid
and liquid, in the best condition and
without waste, will affect the cost on
different farms very materially. AS a
rule, New England farmers pay little
attention to saving the liquid excre-
ment of their stock, preferring to let it
waste and buy artificial fertilizers to
replace it. There can be little doubt
that all the liquid manure saved in Yer
mont will do little to offset the loss on
the solid manure by waste, washing
and heating-that, in fact, less than
half of the animal manure of this sec
ton ever gets back upon the land in any
effective form. If it did, the fertil-
izer business would be "deader than
Chelsea" for any well managed grass
farm will keep increasing fertility when
all the manure is saved, and intelli-
gently used. 1t is attempted also, in
the Farmers article, to show that in q
root or grain rotation-corn or pota-
toes, small grain and grass-hay may be
produced at cost of $3.50 per ton, after
paying interest on the land at $50 pei
acre, taxes at seventy-five cents pei
acre, and harvesting the crop at 81 pei
acre. This may be so, and on stock
farm, as grain and roots, or their equiva
lent, must be either grown or bought, 8
rotation of this kind is justifiable tC
the extent of the needs of the stock
The net cost of hay under these condi
tons will vary extremely, and will be
lessened by higher farming than is YET
practiced by the average New England
farmer.
