for the suppression of the disease and the

been fed with distillery slops, and sooner or

Candidate az FnIrs.

The politicians are having rare times at
the fairs this year. All tine candidates, big
and little, are glad to put themselves ON ex-
hibition by the side of prize horses and cat
tie. The people have chance to look them
over and judge them by the scale of points"
which every thinking man makes for him
self. We see no reason for the cutlery which is
raised against candidates for attending public
meetings. The people want to look at them.
Suppose they do make speeches and shake
hands Are American farmers so simple that
they believe everything that is told them !?
We hold that they have minds of their own
and that no man'1 tongue can wag them away
from what they think is right We object to
having the recognized speech of the fair de-
livered by some lawyer who tries to tell what
he knows about farming and only succeeds
in showing that he knows nothing; but if a
candidate wants to come out and show him
self as a side show, why object? 1t is far
better to have candidates so taught that they
are willing to take off their hats to the farm
or and beg for his vote, than to have them
feel that the farmers vote will come to them
anyway. The keener the competition for
the farmers vote, the greater the benefit we
shall derive from it.-RUrdl

Here in Vermont we are supposed to be
fairly well supplied with horses. We have
about 10, 900 on farms, which with the horses
not on farms and not taken in the census
makes the whole number near 100, 000-less
than one horse for each three persons, and
more than one for each four. But the peo.
pie Of B1enos Ayres beat US little on horses
not in quality, but in number. According to
recent statistics there are a million and half
horses in that province. Though the prov.
vince is 10 times as large as Vermont, the
population is only little more than twice
~ large, so that instead of one horse for each
three or four persons IS in this state the Bue-
nos Ayres people have two horses to each
mau, woman and child. 1t must not be un-
dertood, however that every man and every
woman in Buenos Ayres keeps pair and
drives in a carriage.

ed by the steadily increasing attendance from
first to last, and by the following resolution

ton s much needed for successful farming"
The course will be repeated this winter OIL

of the greatest benefit to the greatest nun
Der, it is desired that the farmers generally
throughout the state, send in topics which
they would like to have discussed, aud ques
tiOns to be answered at these meetings. Also
lot them indicate what dates between January
lst and April LIST will be most convenient
that the lectures may be held when the great
est number can be present.
The lectures will be delivered by the facul
ty of the university, with such help from
specialists outside as may be found desirable
Half fare rates will be again secured for thos
coming from a distance.
Full particulars of dates topics and lee
lures will be announced as soon as decided.
