VALUABLE FODDER,

Straw as a Resource Which Is Reliable
Under All circumstances.
What shall be done with the straw
In tho great grain-growing regions
little thought is given it. It is often
burned, loosely stacked, or. spread
about the barn-yard or folds whore
threshed. or any way to get rid Of it.
Straw is valuable fodder and should
be housed or we'll stacked and fed out
to stock in winter. It has been
demonstrated that straw and less than
bushel of barley, or it's equivalent
in other grains, will winter a
sheep we'll, and that straw and
four quarts of oats q day will
do the same for a horse that is not
working. If any one will take the
trouble to compare the value of these
with what it costs to winter such stock
with hay it will be seen that it is wise
to save the straw carefully and make
such use of it. It is too valuable for
bedding for animals; cheaper material
for this purpose can be obtained
either dry muck, earth, leaves or saw
dust. 49,
= All know that hay will winter an
animal we'll, and straw and grain in
the proportions named are the equiva-
lent Of hay in their ingredients; 2 and
2 make as we'll as and 4; all of the
same elements are in each of the two
groups. A quantity of straw j
usually estimated at the value of tn
plant-tood it contains, and it may /.
decomposed and made available fol
growing plants next year or the yea
after, but when fed to stock it is avail
able Immediately. Wheat and all the
other grains make good manure, and
would as soon think of casting them
into the barnyard for this purpose as
straw. What to do with the straw
then can be answered in four words
feed Il to stock. If not stock enough
on hand to consume it, buy breeding
ewes in November and carry them

What Congress Costs.

There are just 401 members of the
house and of the senate, and to
wait upon them and run errands and
hold open the doors as they pass IN
and out, and carry the cards of their
callers and take care of the thous-
ands of bills they put in, the snug
little sum of 1854 900 for doing SO.
Every member has one employee, and
for the service of the same there is
paid an average of about $500 each.
The snug little sum of S3SO,0OO Is
required to pay the salaries of the
senators, and for the compensation
Of the members of the house ST.
795, 900 is to be provided, and this
brings the salaries of our national
lawmakers to a total of over So
600 900 per year. 1t costs a little
less than 100000 per session to
pay the mileage of the members,
and the country pays $4,000 to pur-
chase the stationery for members and
officers Of the house alone in one
session. The treasury pays $4,000
for reporting the debates, whether
congress sits for one month or for
twelve, as the official reporters, like
most of the clerks are paid by the
year. though they seldom do more
than twelve months work in the
twenty-four months that make up 9

tutes the difference, to the farmer or
manufacturer, between a profitable
and unremunerative prosecution of
his business. The loss comes in small
sums, many times repeated, on
great variety of commodities. This
insidious character of excessive trans
portation charges has made the state
less observant of this drain upon in
dustry than of the losses resulting
from the occasional failure of a bank
or insurance company. The trans
portation question is one of prime
importance to the interests of the
state The commissioners could not
do everything in the first term of
their office, but certain circumstances
were favorable to an investigation of
the facts about transportation, and
people were looking for information
officially obtained respecting this mat
ter. We have no doubt that their
next report will show that the thor
oughnes5 and independence exhibited
in their investigation of means for
heating cars will be faithfully en-
ployed on the transportation question.

Vermont in the Contest.

The republicans of Vermont have
great cause for rejoicing over the
victory. In the national republican
convention Vermont was ''first, last
and all the time" for Harrison. Red
field Proctor knew Gen. Harrison,
as did other members of the delega-
ton, and they had the foresight
to see plainly that he would make
an admirable candidate. In the ex-
huberance of feeling at his nomina-
ton they predicted that Vermont
would give him a majority of 10000.
The September election amost we're
fed the prediction, and if the test had
been made last Tuesday, on the
strength of the parties, or between
Harrison and Cleveland, there is no
doubt but that the full thirty thous-
and would have been given.
Vermont has cause for rejoicing in
the fact that the defeat carries down
not only Cleveland and his hosts,
but the free trade proposition that
was being forced by the southern
Brigadiers, with such help as they
could drive into their ranks from the
subservent democracy of the north,
and which was aimed at all the mate
rial interests of this little state. Free
trade, small or great, affects the
vital interests of every branch of
business, and every occupation IN
this state. That theory is pretty
effectnally squelched for the present.
Another thing that rejoices the
hearts of every loyal man, is the
overthrow of the wicked, imperious
reign of Hiram Atkins as the polit
ical boss of this noble state. The
man who with his dirty, disloyal pa
per during the time of the war, die
all he could to bring the war to al
unsuccessful termination, who wa
the lowest mouth-piece of copper
headism, is buried so deep that hi
resurrection as dispenser of pat
ronage will never disgrace the stat
again.
The victory has been achieve
through the educated, patriotic, en-
thusiastic spirit of a loyal people
1t has been aided, of course, great
by the efficient efforts of capabl
state committee. While Chairma
Page and Secretary Baldwin hay
done the greater labor, they hay
been most ably seconded by otht
members of the committee through
out the state. They have won wei
deserved encomiums for their Il
bors.

cal ''star that never SETS grow

ism and right, to which the helm

Report of Railway Commission.

The commissioners report of their
stewardship bears evidence of an en-
deavor to do their duty under the law
faithfully, as they have construed
their duty. The task of beginning
the administration of statute eX-
tending the domain of state control
over very important, very powerful,
and very complex interests that have
hitherto been law unto themselves,
required wisdom, prudence and dis
elimination, as we'll as resolution and
judicial temper. The commissioners
seem to have exhibited these desira-
BILE qualities in the performance of
duties new to them, in their contact
with affairs of which they were them
selves students as we'll as the law s
executors.
The commissioners view of the re-
lation the railways sustain to the
people is tersely expressed, and con-
forms to the opinions of the most in
telligent and competent legal and ju-
dicial opinions on this point of fun
damental Importance. The people
of Vermont, too familiar with judi
cial leanings to the side of the cor
porations, will read with pleasure the
commissioners sound and wholesome
statement of the status of the rail-
ways in respect to their obligations
to the power from which they derive
their privileges. 1t is important, at
the beginning of this business of state
railway control and regulation, that
the right of the state to control and
regulate is clearly understood by the
people and acknowledged by their
agents, even though the right may
not. at present, be fully conceded by
the corporations. 1t will help the es-
tablishment of the right relation and
better understanding between the
creature and its creator.
The reasonableness of state regula-
ton of railways, and the force anc
strength of the reason, are made in
telligible, if any ones ideas are con
fused on this point, by the commits
sioners' statement Of how 'severy cit
liens of Vermont is concerned in thu
railway affairs of the state, directl.
or indirectly, and with degree o
intimacy that can not be over-esti
mated" This intimacy of the con
Germ of every citizen of Vermont il
the states railway affairs is the ba
sis of the states right to see not onl
that the people are protected in lif
and limb, but that their peeuniary in
terests in the very important matter
. of freight rates and passenger fare
are also jealousy guarded. To saw
it's people from pecuniary loss, th
state imposes many restrictions upo
the banks and insurance companle
and subjects them to very rigid II
n spection. The railways have praot
