OF the Pension Bills-Some sharp Fighting
in tlo House.
WASHINGTON, D. Co., July lin the
House to-day the Speaker laid before the
House the twenty.one veto messages
which were received from the President
yesterday.
The first message was referred to the
Committee on Invalid Pensions without
comment, but the second one-yetoing
The bill granting oil o pension to Edward
N. Harrington-caused considerable dc.
bate, the Republicans trying to defeat its
reference to q committee, advocating that
It's consideration be postponed until Fri
day next. A motion to this effect was de.
feated-yeas, 0S; nays, l2l.
Mr.. jackson, OF Pennsylvania, attacked
the veto policy OF the President, who, he
declared, was not aotuated by any regard
for worth and merit ot private pension
bills. He was In sympathy with a party
opposed to pensioning Union soldiers.

Restoring WOrn-Out Land.

"There has come into my possession
a tract of land that has been cropped
for the past sixteen years, with little or
no return of fertilizer. The land slopes
toward pond and is, 1 think, some
what moist and sandy; is on the south
easterly side of the pond. 1 cannot, at
the low real estate prices of the present,
obtain a sale except at great sacrifice.
Is there any method of top-dressing
that would bring the land to without
such expense that it would not pay?
Being an invalid, unable to ride, and a
woman, am really puzzled to know
what course to take. The land is
twenty miles away. X"
REPLY.-If this is, as we infer, grass
land, so much of it as can be plowed
can be restored to productiveness by
blowing carefully with a shallow fur
row turned fiat. Then SOW on $50
pounds of good superphosphate per
acre, narrowing it in with light har-
row. Then seed literally with the
usual mixture of grass and clover seed,
and roll it. In this way we have seen
mowings improved so that ton and a
half of hay per acre was taken off
where previously less than half a ton
grew. After the first crop is taken the
productiveness for several succeeding
seasons will be maintained by the ap-
plication Of plaster, $50 pounds per
acre, if the land is affected by this fer
tilizer. Otherwise it should be top
dressed with the stable manure OBJ
tanned by feeding the first crop.

Hen Manure on Corn.

1 have a field of corn planted on
phosphate in the hill, with about thirty
loads of manure per acre spread on.
Now as have quantity of hen ma
nure on hand, will it be profitable
way of using it to put about handful
on to each hill of corn before hoeing?
AS have been in the habit of putting
it under my corn at time of planting, do
not feel certain as to the ACCESSIBILITY of
using above the rootlets. Very respect
fully, E. A. S., Montpelier, VT"
REPLY.-We believe fully in the ad-
vantage of adding some active fertil-
izer, such as ashes, sulphate of am
monia, or a good acid superphosphate,
at hoeing time, if there is reason to be-
lieve that the crop needs, or will need,
it before maturity. But on any or
dinarily good soil MANFRED as above we
should expect good crop of corn-that
is, if the stable manure and the phos-
phate used were both good. Hen ma
nure is good and quick fertilizer for
corn, and when there is sufficient rain
afterwards its application about the
hill will have a powerful effect. 1t
should be hoed in as well as possible.

Much objection is raised against lear

of its fiber. Having experimental
some to find a way to overcome thiI
difficulty, 1 have now succeeded, in d
way satisfactory to myself, thus: Take
the meat, as soon as convenient, from

More ON the Worm Question.

What ails the cabbages? They wilt
and finally die. The roots seem to be
eaten, and on one or two which l have
pulled up there are small white mag
COTS. The strawberries seem to be
likewise affected, only am unable to
find anything about the roots except
that they seem dead but not eaten. Is
there any prevention or cure for such
things? If so, please tell us what, and
what damage does the strawberry
weevil do? A. w., Worcester, VT"
REPLY.-One of these points is re-
ferred to in our reply to Mr.. Kent.
Strawberry plants are sometimes eaten
off by cut-worms, but their worst I'M
derground enemy is the larva of the
June-bug, large white maggot with a
red head Both must be dug out and
killed. The latter works slowly, and
sometimes leaves plant before he has
finished it,
The strawberry weevil we are not
acquainted with and should like some
information about it.

Women for Industries.

Miss Nellie Rawson, editor of the do
nestle department of the Students
Farm Journal, paper issued by the
students Of the Iowa Agricultural Col
lege, says that so many industries are
now open to women that the bitter COM
plant that only few ways of earning
livelihood are open to women has lost
its sting of truth. There are industries
without number for women, but where
are the women for the industries? she
enquiries, and she adds that many with
no love for their work are sacrificing
their health and strength daily to the
nervous strain of school-teaching.
Thousands of others know no life but
that contained in poorly ventilated
stores, offices and factories. Strength
of mind and body is all exhausted in
the narrow business routine of the day.
The more desirable and remunerative
employments are monopolized by men.
But why is it so? Is it because of their
greater strength and political power?
No. Such positions require executive
capacity, and ability to control and
superintend others.
Woman's education has tended more
to display than to develop this talent.
She has been taught that to be womanly
is to be dependent. Hence firm, self
reliant woman of ordinary business
ability is rare exception.
The most influential associations for
the advancement of women have tried
to find employment for them outside of
the home, deceived by the false i'm
preston that there is nothing agreeable
or desirable in the work within the four
walls of their dwellings.
The occupations of men have been
reduced to system. Men have taken
advantage of every means of informa-
ton bearing upon their work. And
now when their business is in good
running order no wonder that women
want to trade work with them.
The temptation to turn from tyranni-
cal servants and untidy homes to orderly
stores and offices is indeed great, but
need there be anything more distaste-
full in .house-work after it has been
thoroughly systematized and under
stood than there is in any other trade
or profession? Women little realize
how richly knowledge and research in
this their own peculiar work would re-
pay them. Here is one industry in
which the demand for workers vastly
exceeds the supply.
The president of the Woman's In
dustrial Association of Ohio, after
searching in vain for woman capable
of taking care of certain industry,
writes that "a shrewd, cool, manag-
ing woman could clear five, yes, ten
dollars day easily" Is there among
American women no one answering
this description? This is but one of
many equally desirable positions scat
tered throughout the United States
awaiting some "shrewd, managing
woman " to come and take charge of
affairs. Verify, there are industries
without number for women, but where
are the women for the industries?

Cabbage Worms.

81 would like to enquire through these
columns the best method and means of
protecting and raising cabbage and de-
stroying the cabbage worms.
M. p. KENT, Putnamsville, VT"
REPLY.-In the first place it is i'm
portant to have the land well enriched
for cabbages, that they may take strong
start, grow quickly, and thus outgrow
their insect enemies. Cut-worms (and
they are unusually plenty this Year, are
the first foes. A perfect protection
from these is to wrap paper around the
stems, wide enough to cover an inch
above and the same below the ground.
Use strong paper. Then comes the lit
tie white worm that destroys the roots,
causing the cabbages to wilt and die.
We have never found any practical
remedy for these, though ashes or salt,
scattered thickly around each plant, are
frequently recommended in the papers.
They are much worse some years, and
in some places, than in others. This
year, which is good one, so far, for
crops, seems equally good for these in
sects also. Our remedy is a good supply
of plants and the daily filling of vacan-
cies caused by the worms, which do
not last long The best cure for the
cabbage-leaf worm is insect powder
blown upon them frequently, though a
handful of bran in each head bothers
them badly.

"The RangerSpy ;or, "The Volunteers
of III" is the name of play to be pres
ented after Lent by Tracy Camp Sons of
Veterans of this place This play was
written by j. W. Walsh of Hoosck Falls,
and is a thrilling historical drama. The
scene is laid near Bennington and the in
cidents and characters are mostly histor-
zeal. Mr., Walsh, the author, will take the
principal part, Phineas Button, the ''spy,"
and his sister the leading lady's part.
The rest of the cast will be made up from
the camp and their friends. The drama
was first presented at Hoosick Falls for
three nights. Crowded houses were en-
tertained and many even turned, away.
1t is to be reproduced there soon. The
Estey Guards of Brattleboro have had
much the same luck and at Bennington
the success of the play was phenomenal
The object of the camp is to secure uni
forms. The members have been put to
considerable expense to procure caps, etc.
and want to raise enough money to buy
suitable uniforms in which to appear ON
Memorial day. Capt. John Nash of East
Middlebury is drilling the boys every
week, and it is expected they will make
Il fine appearance on that day. 1t is
hoped the public will turn out en- mdSSe
to help this affair along. The object is a
good one and the members can hardly
afford to bear the entire expense.
