Items.

SEVERAL of the Vermont Grand
Army posts and Women's Relief Corps
have signified their intention to fur
nish rooms in the new Soldiers Home.
Among these are the organizations at
Bennington, Burlington, Bradford,
Windsor and Underhill.
ONE hundred Grand Army men and
Sons of Veterans have been expelled
from the Wesleyan Methodist church at
Morton's Corners, Ohio, because the
pastor is opposed to secret organiza-
tons. A few leading members indorse
the clergyman's action, but the bulk of
his parishioners are disguised and will
attend that church no more.
81 CAN hardly conceive of spirit
contemplate enough really to desire to
keep manned soldier from the bounty
of this nation. 1t would be disgrace
and dishonor if we let them die in
poor-house, to drop by the way and see
their ragged children mourning over
their poor corpses, glorious with scars,
manned into Immortality. l may do
great many bad things before die, but
l give you my word that so long as l
live will not vote for any president
that vetoed pension bill unless upon
its face it was clear that the man APP
plying for it was not soldier or not
wounded.

Agricultural Notes and Items.

COTTON-sEED meal at the present
time is one of the cheapest sources of
organic nitrogen.
THREE things that can be made to 60
well together, each increasing the
chances of success with at least one of
the other two, are fruit-growing, bee
keeping and poultry-raising.
If wood ashes or commercial fertil-
izers are applied to growing crops, care
must be taken not to throw them upon
the crowns of the plants, as they would
be liable to injure the foliage.
COMMON weeds and farm plants con-
tain the same soil constituents, varying
in relative proportion as well as in total
quantity. A well prepared soil is
adapted to numerous kinds of plants.
CATTLE fed heavily on grain, par
ticularly such highly nitrogenous grain
as bran, pea meal or cotton-seed meal,
may be fed more coarse inferior stalks
than if corn-fodder and good hay were
their chief diet
TURNIPs boiled and mixed with a
due proportion of grains are excellent
for growing pigs after they learn to eat
them. They are not as valuable as po-
tatoes, but both are useful when fed
with other richer food
ONE pound of poison (Paris green)
to one hundred gallons of water is an
abundance of poison, Professor Cooke
is even inclined to think that one pound
TO two hundred gallons might be
enough, if the mixture is carefully and
constantly stirred.
THERE is no quicker or handler way
of disposing of refuse-soda, muck,
weeds, etc.-than to rot them down in a
compost heap. Surely dead animals
are best disposed of in this way. The
most common fermenting agents used
in the compost heap are stable-manure
and night-soil.
ALL children love fruit. Their APP
petites call for the healthy acid, and they
ought to have it. Every farmer can
grow it; none can afford to neglect it.
There is no direction in which a small
amount of money will provide so much
of comfort, happiness, even luxury, as
in the planting and cultivation of small
fruit.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1888-09-05
Dairying at Fairs.

The leading objects of agricultural
fairs are, or should be, education and
recreation. The farmer can not be-
come skilled in his work or successful
in his calling if he does not go beyond
the precincts of his farm to learn of
improved stock and better methods of
cultivation. 1t is impracticable for
farmers generally to go from farm to
farm to look at different kinds of stock
and investigate different ways of farm
ing. So stock and farm products are
collected at central points where farm
ers may see the best that is raised in
the town, county, state or country at
large. These exhibits are object
lessons in farming, and an observing
farmer can never attend a properly con-
Quoted agricultural fair without being
greatly benefited by the knowledge
gained and pleasure enjoyed. In con-
Quoting these fairs it should be the
aim of the managers to afford oppor-
tunities for farmers to obtain the largest
possible amount of varied information.
The tendency now is to make fairs
of greater value to farmers as edu-

Gators. In this connection it is graft
flying to note that at the last regular
session of the New York legislature an
act was passed to promote agriculture
and improve the quality of butter and
cheese. BY it the dairy commits
sioner is directed to employ expert but
ter and cheese-makers, not exceeding
five in number, whose duty it shall be,
under his directions, to examine and
inspect butter and cheese factories and
the methods employed therein, and at
tend such agricultural fairs, institutes,
meetings and conventions within the
state as shall be designated by the COM
missioner to impart thereat information
as to the best methods of making but
ter and cheese.
This method of imparting instruction
in this important branch of farming has
been practiced for several years in some
foreign countries with excellent results.
BY farmers and their wives who attend
the fairs can be made to see the whole
process of butter and cheese making by
those who are experts in the business.
New York is great dairy state, and
her leading dairymen earnestly desire
to increase her greatness in this respect.
To this end they have taken measures
which they are determined to continue.
The enterprizing managers of the Bay
State fair, to be held in Springfield,
Mass, in October, propose to intro
duce this feature at their fair in the
form of a contest between butter-mak-
ers, both with creamery and dairy APP
paratus. 1t is time that Vermont, the
best dairy state in New England, should
take steps in this direction. 1t is
lamentable fact that great part of
the butter made in this state is of
low grade and is sold at low price
below the actual cost of production, in
fact-and this is owing largely to lack
of knowledge of the proper methods of
handling milk and making it into butter.
Farmers of push and energy will
keep informed on the progress made in
dairying, and, so far as practicable,
they will adopt the improved methods
and receive the benefits therefrom.
But there are thousands of farmers
who think they are too poor to spend
any time in looking at private diaries
where improved methods are in use,
and they seem to think that none but
the rich can afford to adopt such
methods. The trouble is to get these
farmers interested. 1t seems to us
that if they could see these m ethods
in practical operation at fairs, learn
their cost and note the advantages to
be gained, they would be surprised to
know that these improved methods are
actually within their reach. 1t is in
degree humiliating for Vermonters to
attend their state fair and see the
dairy interest almost wholly ignored
both by managers and farmers, as has
been the case in the past, when it
should be one of the most prominent
and attractive features of the fair. At
some county fairs, notably the Gale
donia, the butter exhibits have excited
much interest and healthy rivalry
among dairy farmers. If, as we have
suggested, this idea could be carried
further, we believe that the results
would be gratifying in the extreme.

Questions Answered.

A. j. S., MARsHFIELD.- After the
surgeons have made your examination
and have Endorsed it, you should re-
turn your order for examination to your
attorney, and he will see that it is duly
returned to the pension office.
J. S. T., ROCHEsTER.-An applicant
for pension is usually ordered to the
nearest board of surgeons for an exam
nation. If more than one examination
is required, more are sometimes made
by different boards and sometimes by
the same board. Applicants often re-
quest to be examined by some particu-
lar board when good reasons exist for
such request. Such requests, how
ever, are not always granted. If an
applicant is unable to 90 from home,
by representing that fact to the COM
missioner of pensions, with an affidavit
of confederation from physician, a
surgeon will be sent to the applicants
home to make the examination.
r. NJ, DANvILLE.-The supreme
court of Vermont has recently decided
that pension money is attachable the
same as other money. The decision
was made in a case where the pen
sioner had deposited his pension check
in a savings bank and taken book
showing deposit to his credit. The
bank was trusteed and the defence was
that pension money for which the
credit was given was exempted from
attachment under the law. The court
held the bank liable, overruling the
case in the Fiftieth Volume of Yer
mont Reports, which has often been
referred TO as an authority for exempt
ing soldiers pension from attachment
on debt. There is no state statute on
this subject and the next session of the
legislature might be a favorable time to
have the subject considered.
