." Brother Reall.c

The editor of the Mirror d Farmer
is positively wasted, as it were, on New
Hampshire. The way he "sets up"
the great Real, the volunteer granger
of New York city, with his row of self
bestowed titles, that fill stick-ful of
type, is worthy of border journalism at
its very best. Hear him:
We know, of course, that you are the
founder of the American Agricultural
and Dairy Association; that you have
been one of its officers from the start;
that you are now its president; that you
held "a great national convention "
in New York hotel last winter and
listened to addresses by yourself, and
indignated and resolved and vowed to
protect the millions of farmers in this
country from ruin and humiliation, and
that in this laudable effort you have
been boarding in Washington and max
ing Yourself heard for weeks, for all
this you have told us repeatedly. But
who authorized you to organize your
self into national association and take
all the farmers and dairymen of this
country under your wing? Who asked
you to vault into Washington and weary
your brilliant brain issuing addresses
couched in rhetoric calculated to curl
up plain farmer as fire curls cow
hide boot? Who gave you license to
assess tax of IS upon everybody who
makes or eats butter?
So far as we have ever heard, you
don't own any COWS; you don't make
any butter to sell. Your business is
that of a general agent of European
company that wants to sell dairy ma
chinery in this country; good machinery
we have no doubt it is; and we have no
doubt, either, that if you succeed by
your frenzied shrieks over the butter
business in calling the farmers atten-
ton to you and your machines and
thereby increasing your business and
profits, it will be good thing for you
and for them. 1t will certainly be good
for you if they all send you IS each

your push; we admire your magnificent
gall; and your impudence in appro'

Lemon Pies.

Here is my way of making lemo
pies. bake an under crust in pie-tins|
BY doing this you avoid having
soaked, soggy crust. Crate the yellow
rlnd of one lemon in bowl, squeeze id
the juice, add cup of sugar and thd
yolk of one egg. Stir well together
Upon this pour a large cup of water
into which has been stirred DESSERT
spoonful of corn-starch Put all into d
saucepan and stir until cooked into d
rich, clear, straw-colored jelly. With
this fill the baked shells. Pour over
the tops the well-beaten white of the
egg, with sugar added. Put in the oven
moment and serve when cold. This
will make two small pies. hope some
one will try this way, and report if they
like it. SPRING CHICKEN.

Mr.. WHITAKER, the new publisher
of the Ne,C England Farmer, admins
tiers a gentle hint to his exchanges, as
follows:
We are always glad to have our ex-
changes copy anything they wish from
our columns, and we are doubly pleased
when they give credit for what they
take. But we are the happiest when
the name Neao England Farmer is part
of the credit. 1t is only a half credit
when the name of the writer and not
of the paper is mentioned.
Why, bless your soul, Brother Whit.
taker, to credit the editor in this case is
to credit the Farmer. In hundreds OF
Vermont farm-houses and to thousands
of our farmers, and their wives and
children, the agricultural editor of the
NeW England Farmer is. personally SC
we'll known and so loved that he and
his paper are to them unit. No
Cheever, no New England Farmer to
them. No other editor is one-hun-
dreth part as well known to them, and
with the exception of the late Mr..
Whitaker, no Massachusetts, farmer
has ever made for himself anything
like the same number of friends at oul
Dairymen's Association meetings. We
all rise to Cheever when he makes his
appearance, and when he does not
come it does not seem like any meeting
at all.

Manure and Fodder Corn.

Mr.. Editor:-In the past / have re-
ceived much valuable information anC
instruction in the agricultural columns
of the WATCHMAN, and although sub
scribe for another paper, devoted alto
gether to agricultural matters, yet
consider the one page in the WATCH.
MAN which you edit far superior to il
or almost any other agricultural paper
published. / therefore wish to obtain
instruction from you regarding the fol
lowing: 1 have about twenty-five cords
of manure - horse, COW and pig
which has been made under cover, and
retains almost all of the liquid, as !
have used absorbents. Now please in
form me what prepared fertilizer to
buy. If you do not wish to state the
brand, please advise what sort to get,
as to the proportional parts of nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and potash. intend
planting about two acres to Sanford
corn, to be fed out after cutting or dur
ing the coming fall. Please advise as
to the manner of planting-in rows or
hills-and if in drills, how far apart
should the seed be dropped to get the
most return? J.H.
REPLY BY AGRICULTURAL EDIToR.-
The proper way to prepare stable ma
nure in order to get the most good of it
was treated of in a recent issue, and
what was there said need hardly be
added to here. Practically speaking,
good manure is too rich in nitrogen,
and needs to be extended by the addi-
ton of both phosphoric acid and pot
ash, especially the former. For use
with manure there is no need Of buy
ing heterogeneous superphosphate, for
plain superphosphate is much cheaper
and quite as good. Along with this,
use ten or fifteen bushels of unleached
hardwood ashes to the acre, and a half
dressing of manure will give far better
results than full dressing used alone.
We should plant the Sanford corn in
rows (drills), using only about twice as
much seed (say half a bushel per acre.
as would be used for a crop of grain.
There will be a good many ears on corn
so planted, and the crop will be quite
as heavy when dry, and contain more
nutritive matter than when planted
more thickly.

The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1886-05-19

Sometimes a silence breathes upon the air,
Full laden with music mutey deep,
That lulls the senses to oblivious sleep;
No silvery chords or murmuring lips may dare
To vie in sweetness with this songster rare,
Or share its harmonies, which, voiceless, stee I
The sacred reverie of the heart, and keep
The spirit kindred to the spell Of prayer.
The purest notes, thrilled by imprisoned vote,
Are wasted then upon the listless ear
The wakened memory is left no choice
But to be wooed in flight to some old year,
Where mother lips in holy prayer were heard,
Or maiden love once spoke its sovereign word.

Reply to Sisters Mrs. r. II.
and c. l.. +.

Dear Household Il had written a re-
ply to Mrs. r. KS letter, and, neglect
ing to send it in season, / see by my
last paper that Mrs. G. L. F. has replied
to her, although almost contrary to my
opinion; yet was glad to see that some
sister responded to her promptly, and
gave encouraging support to this de-
partment. l must, however, still in
sist, though contrary to Mrs. c. L. F.'s
opinion, that l too, like Mrs. r. K,
had noticed this failing interest to freely
support this department, and was very
sorry, because certainly it ought to be
one of very great interest to any house
keeper, wife or mother; and there GER
tainly is enough in the many varied de-
partments of housekeeping for any one
to single out one point of interest and
give it to the sisters, either as bit of
help and information or for discussion.
/ think in this way that this depart
ment could be made very interesting
and helpful, for certainly, in my estima-
ton, there is no other employment for
a lady that requires more exercise for
the brain than that of a thorough house,
keeper. This word thorough means no
one thing, but many everywhere. 1t
really has become-and always ought
to have been-quite an art to be good
housekeeper. Let us not hesitate to
give to each other our opinions and sug-
gestions, and exchange thoughts in the
different branches. 1t will help us
much, and is good way for us to be-
come acquainted with each other. Like
Mrs. c. l.. F., was very timid,
and never expected to see my first in
print, but, seeing it accepted, l gained
strength, and it encouraged me to try
again, and just so we can help each
other.
l will say that tried the lemon fill
ing for tarts that one of the sisters gave
about four weeks since, and found it
cery nice. l will give good rule for
white -four gems below. Thanking the
ladies for their nice letters, l shall
watch carefully, hoping to hear from
them and others.
WHITE FLOUR GEMs.-Three cups of
flour, two level tea-spoonfuls of cream
of tartar, one level tea-spoonful of soda
and salt mixed together, butter half as
large as an egg rubbed with four level
table-spoonfuls of sugar; then beat in
one egg; one and one-fourth (scanD cup
of sweet milk; then add the prepared
flour and bake in gem-pans.

THE rum interests are settling upon
this land like black curse. There are
few readers of the Rural who cannot
point to some dear relative whose life
has been blackened by this wretched
evil. If the demons of drink or bar
keepers have our city governments
under their feet, we must fight them in
the pure, strong country homes, where
in all the worlds history the bravest
and surest legislation has been formed.

would have in regarding man afflicted

ANOTHER SUDDEN DEATH.

Hardly week passes without the men-
ton by thenewspaperso fsudden deaths, and
Of late the alarming frequency of the state
ment that death was caused by rheumatism
or neuralgia ofthe heart cannot fail to have
beennoticed. In all probability many deaths
attributed to heart disease are caused by
these terrible diseases, which are far more
dangerous than is generally considered. Is
there any positive cure? The best answer
to such question is given by those who haze
been cured by the use of Athlophoros.
Long Pine, Neb., Aug. 18th, 1856.
suffered for years with neuralgia in nv
head, neck and face, and have spent,
know, over 500 in trying to find some
medicine to relieve me, and found only
temporary relief in anything l tried until
saw an advertisement of Athlophoros. 1t
gave relief ut once, and after using one
bottle and half l found lasting relief. 1t
helped and cured me where all other
remedies failed. I have recommended it
to several of my friends with like good re-
suits. / have not had return of the dis
ease since taking the Athlophoros over two
years ago. Mrs. NJ. A. MoRFoRD.

a COMBINATION FOOD.
One of the Cheapest and Most Reliab
Foods for Chicks and Hens.

One Of the Cheapest and Most Reliable
Foods for Chicks and Hens.
During the past season we have made
several experiments in feeding, with
the view Of arriving at the combination
of several kinds of food. that will give
the best results at the least cost, and
for both adults and chicks the follow
lowing is excellent: Six parts of ground
corn and oats, one part each of bran,
middlings and ground meat, and to
every twenty-five pounds of the mix
ture add half a pound of salt, one
pound ground bone, and two pounds
charcoal. The corn and oats are usual
" ground together. There is nothing
expensive about it except the ground
meat, but as only one pound is used to
every eight pounds of the other ma
terials, it is not costly. Now for an
explanation of the food. But little
corn is used, as fat is not desirable in
growing chicks and laying hens. The
bran is used to somewhat Tighten the
mass and preventing the middlings
from rendering it too adhesive. The
oats, middlings and meat are nitroge-
nous, the salt is necessary and oft
neglected ingredient, and the charcoal
is corrective. The bones are added to
supply any denciency of lime or phos-
phoric acid. We found that chicks fed
with this food scalded, grew very
rapidly, some of them weighing two
pounds at ten weeks old, while for
young ducks it is superior to any thing
ever before used by us. OF course, in
feeding such concentrated food We al
so gave green stuff, or bulky material,
as well as providing plenty of water
With this food oyster shells are I'M
necessary, provided plenty of gravel or
small, sharp stones are used. But
above all, it is one of the cheapest
foods that can be used.-Fdrm, Field
and StOckpdn.
