This root is commonly called Oys-
ter-plant, on account of its marked
oyster favor when properly cooked.
1t is an exceedingly nice vegetable and
we recommend its cultivation, which is
very easy. 1t is a hardy biennial and
natures late in the fall of the first year,
if the seed is planted early in the spring,
in deep rich soil. 1t resembles i'll APP
pearance the parsnip, but is prefer
able. In cooking the roots should be
thoroughly seraped, and thrown imme-
diately into water, as they turn black
if exposed tn the air. Cut mp in pieces
and boiled till tender and then stewed
"A few minutes in milk or cream, with a
little butter added, they entitle them
selves To the name of vegetable oysters.

New York Times.

We have never doubted that among
Mr.. Blaine's friends there were very
many sincere and earnest reformers,
or that among Mr.. Cleveland's sup
porters there were, and are, many ut
terly hostile to reform, and the con
verse of the statement is equally true.
What is growing more and more clear
every day is that the determination to
divorce the civil service from partisan
politics is steadily growing, and that
the body of voters adhering to this de-
termination hold in their hands the
fate of any party that shall venture to
oppose it.

Public Opinion.
Slandering Senator Edmunds.

The New York Tribune, which
makes no disguise of its hatred of Mr..
Edmunds, and which is nowadays
hunting democrats and republicans
alike, in couples with the World,
naturally seizes this opportunity to
charge Mr.. Edmunds with maintaining
on the floor of the Senate ''that it is all
right for a man being a lawyer to do
any dishonest work for pay" Mr..
Edmunds, we venture to say, has said
nothing that can be tortured into such
IA scOundrelly proposition as that; and
the Tribune's imputation of it to him
is a gross and unprovSked SANDER.

Unwise Partisanship.

Now that the "cOnfederacy is in the
saddle again." Mr.. Cleveland having
been elected, we shall see before long
claims made on behalf of the holders
of confederate bonds. Mr.. Garland,
AS attorney general, is apt to treat this
claim quite unlike that of the creditors
against Virginia, and it will be inter
esting to observe in the not distant flu
ture what the democratic administra-
ton finds it convenient to do about
such a claim. To reject it with scorn
would be to cast reproach upon the
memory of the rebellion, which it seems
to be one of the principal objects of
this administration to keep ever fresh
and green.

Feed of Arabian Horses.

An English officer who has seen ser
vice in Egypt states that the food OF
the Arabian horse consists of six pounds
of barley, which is given at sunset
This custom seems to agree with the
animal. aud it enables the owner to
carry in bag food enough, sixty
pounds for a ten days trip across the
desert. The stomach of the horse is
small. and for this reason the custom is
to feed often. But in Arabia they
make II virtue of necessity. Fast is
broken but once in twenty -four hours.

was purchased by u. NJ. Bacon of New York city
when two years old, since which time he has been
in the of b. f. Hayiland, of Danville who has
also been half owner since he was four years old.
Alexis has proved to be an extra stock horse, his
colts having taken premiums at both State and
County fairs, and found ready market at good
prices. ALEXIS with his stock, took second pre-
MUM at State tair at Burlington in So and the
first premium at Caledonia fair the same year; and
and also took first premium. at County fair in 80
as best stallion. This together with his pedigree,
size, style and action makes him very desirable
horse for breeding purposes.

The State Press.

Burlington Free Press: While other
sources of news sometimes fail, the
regularly recurring accidents on the
st. JOhnsbury and Lake Champlain
road furnish the struggling Vermont
newspaper man with an unfailing sup
ply of incident. 1t is to be hoped that
the new owners of the road, will find
means to change this even though it
should depress the rural news market
for Il time.
BrattlebOro Phoenix 1t ought to be
"a source of pride and satisfaction to
President Cleveland that public senti-
ment expects better things of him than
his late revenue appointments in three
New England states. The best thing
he can do is to keep himself steadily
in line with this sentiment for the next
four years. Viewed from bourbon
Democratic standpoint these appoint
ments are all right. They are simply
rewards wOrthily bestowed for the
worst kind of political work faithfully
done. But the better class of demo-
Gratis and the Independents are cha
grined that they have been made.
Time also will show whether they are
only one of the mistakes which every
President must make, or whether they
make the beginning of a distribution
of the spOils of office to the men who.
from political standpoint, have
''earned' them.
Mr.. William Slade of Ohio, who is

Watering Farm Horses.

Farmers should bear in mind the
/ fact that their horses can suffer from
thirst, as we'll as they. 1t is simply
cruel to work team from sunrise,
perhaps, till noon, before the pillow or
mower, without allowing them to drink
a drop, even though their mouths be
dry and hot and the heat oppressive.
IL takes little time, of course, to un-
hitch from the pillow or mower and
drive Ia neighboring creek, spring,
or watering-tub, or to bring "A pailful
To the thirsty beasts during the fore
noon OF afternoon hut, if the driver
wishes To quench his thirst, half
hours time is often taken to procure
"A cooling draft, and it is not time
''lost." Moreover, if horses are not al
lowed to drink until they come to the
stables, at noon or at night, they are
apt To overdrink, unless carefully
watched, burying their heads almost
up to their eyes sometimes, in their
eagerness to allay their thirst. Water
in proper quantity is quite as necessary
as food, aud we, the horses keepers,
should be wise enough to know when
they need it.

lament will appear simultaneously in
