Edmunds on Astronomy.

Senator Edmunds is noted for his
strict adherence to the rules of secrecy
governing caucuses and executive SEES
sions of the senate-in fact it is one of
the tricks played on new correspon-
dent by his colleagues to send him to
Mr.. Edmunds to ask about one of these
sessions. Mr.. Edmunds's manner on
these occasions is never harsh, but it is
impressive. The young newspaper
man, as rule, does not ask Mr.. Ed
munds about executive matters again.
There are senators, however, who are
not so particular as Mr.. Edmunds. The
other night, after the caucus at Senator
Chambers house had adjourned, cor
respondent had accosted certain sena-
tor on his way home, and as they
walked down the street together he was
gradually extracting from him the pro-
ceedings Of the caucus. They stopped
for moment on the corner. The sena-
tor raising his voice little, was saying,
Now, confdentially "-when tall.
gaunt figure broke through the gloom
and deep but gentle voice said:
Senator, did you ever see anything
more beautiful than the sky tonight"
Young man, and the speaker grasped
the correspondent by the arm, come
over here and see the moon as it shines
through the bank of clouds" The
caucus as topic of conversation was
precipitately dropped, while the senator
and the correspondent became entirely
absorbed in Senator Edmunds's de-
scription of the beauties of the heav-
ems. A minute later Senator Edmunds
relieved the embarrassment of the
guilty pair with; Well, here's my car;
good night" and in another minute he
was gone. The rest of the conversa-
ton about the caucus was conducted in
whispers.

comes from the meetings, and the
diffused' instruction of this cheaply or
ganized and conducted association of
farmers, is due not only great share
in the progress of dairy methods, but
that at least an equal advance in the
improvement of our dairy cattle, and
in the care and attention bestowed
upon them, to say nothing of a more
general and accurate knowledge of the
rational and practical use of improved
methods of feeding, and an increased
skill in the production and economical
use of feeding stuffs, can be fairly at
tributed to the general interest that
has thus been awakened.
All this has been done at astonish-
ingly little cost. Very slight, if any, re-
muneration has been given to the Off
GERS of the association. Their work
has been practically labor of love,
and even the necessary cost of the
meetings themselves have been de-
frayed, and ways and means provided,
by the contributions of outsiders. The
meetings are free to all, and hundreds
avail themselves yearly of the valuable
privilege without the contribution of a
penny to the funds of the society Most
of the speakers are unpaid This state
of things should not, for the good name
of the state, be allowed longer to con-
tinue. Vermont, as a state, is able to
assume the very slight expense of sus-
tanning so valuable an organization in
in an effective condition, and we wish
earnestly to express the hope that
provisions to that effect may be made
to take the form of law, without any
further delay. Not only can Vermont
afford it, but she cannot afford not to
do it, if she cares for her good repute
at home, or abroad.

Uncle JOe's Monopoly.

Respectfully Dedicated to Senator Beck
Uncle Joe is one of the most ingenious
darkies in Washington. The other day
he contrived to make a.rude wheel
barrow for himself. The morning after,
it was completed he went out to try it,
but was dismayed to find it gone. *
'clah to gracious. " he exclaimed, "
knowed dab wah mighty nice wheel
barrow, but l didn't spec it gwine to
run off by its own self" He presently
found it in use in Jake Turner's garden.
Jake, what you dom wild my new
wheelbarrow, I'd like to know"
"W'y, Uncle Joe, faint none NV yo'rn.
Hit belongs to de community. Fer you
to keep it would be a monopoly"
Haint done made it?" cried Uncle
Joe. "An' haint it mine?" "No, it
haint," said Jake. "'Twuz yo'rn afo'
the wheel was put on to it, but when
you put the wheel on you done los it,"
What's the wheel got to do wild it?"
"W'y, you see, | done hear Cun'l

said Uncle Joe, going off with the

Lean Meat VS.. Fat.

There is no doubt but that, in ma
iority of cases, the hogs that are now
being sent to market have preponder-
ance of fat over lean meat. The sys-
tenn adopted by great many in feed
ing has transformed the hog into
veritable lard keg. 1t is true that
hog should be well fattened before
being placed on the market, but
there is vast difference between a
fattened and well-fed hog. When
farmer is feeding for his own use he
has only his own taste and that of his
family to consult, but when fitting for
market it pays him to supply that which
the market demands. The intelligent
feeder will have noticed that there is a
growing demand for better class of
pork. Bacon, hams and shoulders that
have the most lean in proportion to the
weight are what are needed, and good
sized young hogs that can supply this
want will invariably fetch the best
prices. The excess of fat of which we
speak is due in a great measure to the
continual feeding of corn. We do not
overlook the fact that, in some in
stances, it may be attributed to the
method practiced in breeding, but the
kind and quality of feed is answerable
for great deal. During the growing
period, at least, oats, clover, milk, peas
or barley, or a combination of any of
them, should be used to create a tend
ency toward the production of lean
meat. Constant feeding of corn, on
the other hand, is certain to produce
an adipose condition. The wisdom of
discreet feeding will be apparent from
this, and the aim should be with every
feeder who is DESTROYS of making the
most out of his hogs to start in first
with lean-producing food and leave
corn to finish off on. Another i'm
portant thing to be considered, in con-
nection with this excess of fat, is the
liability of hogs to be unhealthy when
in such condition. 1t is a known
fact that any of the improved breeds
will lay on fat more readily than scrubs,
therefore the policy of feeding muscle
and lean meat producing food at the
start will be readily seen. A healthier
condition will be promoted, finer
quality of meat produced, better prices
obtained, and in the long run larger
profit will be made all the year round

Farm Notes.

THE day for all pedigree and no
animal is past, and ought to be, says a
noted writer on stock.
A DRINK is refreshing, when the
animal is cool enough to take it, and if
given after a meal of grain, it tends to
wash the food out of the stomach be-
fore full assimilation has taken
place. The practice of feeding the
horse when tired and thirsty is alto
gether too common, and then too with
the extra thirst of full meal allow it
to gorge itself with water.
THE colt must be fed according to
circumstances. 1t wants food enough
to have strength and animation, or
spirit, but it is unwise to have too much
life, or it may be likely to try its
strength and to get over the traces or
the pole. Such capers are risky, and
when they do happen they are likely to
spoil the colt. In any case, it will take
a long time for them to get over it.
No doubt many colt has been
spoiled by eating too many oats while
being broken for use. Some farmers
are so foolish that they will " feed up :"
the colt to get it into shape to show off
well and to work. All wrongl a colt
should never be put to work, or to a
training, when in weak condition.
The handling and feeding should 90
together and all be done by the same
hand. This will make the colt friendly
Mr.. E. II. LIBBY, of the American
Garden, lately witnessed the tearing
down of an old stable, the ground under
which was Extensively soaked with
liquid manure. The owner had allowed
this most soluble part of eXcrement to
leach away while at the same time buy
ing high-priced commercial fertilizers
in an effort to I" bring up his impover-
ished SOIL" He is probably one of the
large class of the improvident who
complain that farming doesn't pay"
AN English essayist, who estimate s
that the tobacco vice costs his country
aside from vast incidental losses, as
from fires, prison expenses, etc. y fully
hundred million dollars year, points
out that the weed is nerve depressant
and alcohol is often used to counteract
its effect; and cites significant statistics
of temperance societies showing that
smokers break away from their pledge
in greater numbers than those not adj
dicted to the dirty" selfish and
disease-producing" habit.
OLD horsemen know that oats will
make horse more lively or active than
any other grain. They contain nerve
and muscle food, or the elements to
supply the wear and waste of these
parts, and no doubt they stimulate them
also. They contain, according to this
authority, nitrogenized substance
peculiar to themselves. All oats con-
tain this peculiar property, but the
black oats have the most. When oats
are ground the exciting effect is re-
duced in strength and duration, but its
effects are more active. This peculiar
substance is called avenine.

How They Feel in Iowa.

Governor Larrabee, in his inaugural,
deals with the railroad problem very
frankly. He says: "The men who
control our railroads labor under a Sc
riOus delusion, inasmuch as they en-
terrain an exaggerated opinion of the
obligations under which they have
placed the public. They attribute to
themselves the unparalleled material
progress the country has made, and
claim the wealth which by their agency
has been accumulated as their reward.
They reason that they are entitled to
the value of the difference between va
rious places in the price of commodi-
ties, because they furnish the means for
making the exchange. 1t appears to
me that this argument, if carried to its
logical result, would transfer the title
to large share of their income to the
heirs of Mr.. Watt, the inventor of the
steam engine.
"The right of the states to control rates
can certainly not be questioned. Cor
porations have no rights to enforce ex-
cept such as have been granted to them
by the commonwealth. 1t must be con-
lodged the power to create new corpo-
rations which would be prepared to ac-
cept the altered conditions. Railroad
managers argue that if the state should
undertake to establish maximum rates
it must also guarantee to the roads a
minimum income. This will be found
to be fallacious argument, when it is
considered that although the state has
passed laws prohibiting usuryit neither
guarantees a minimum rate nor other
wise secure private loans. Railroads
have in the course of time usurped
powers dangerous to the public welfare,
and have practiced extortions perhaps
less cruel, but in the aggregate more
gigantic than those of the British land
lord. 1t has been found necessary to
limit the power of public officers to levy
taxes for the maintenance of our schools
and the support of our state, county
and municipal government, notwith-
standing the fact that those taxes are
used for the benefit of the people. Yet
few railroad managers are free to meet
in Chicago and levy an extra one, three
or even five million dollars upon the
people of Iowa without giving them
anything in return. Propositions for
even the smallest reductions in the GUS
tom house tariff are always the subject
of much deliberation in congress, but
freight rates are often cut, even with
out the previous notice, to one-half,
one-third or even one-fourth of their
former standard and are again doubled,
trebled or quadrupled. 1t is not I'M
common to find that in the same train
a car is handled for one-half the rate
charged for hauling another car loaded
with the same articles, or that one To-
cality is Systematically charged as much
more as another for the same kind of
service. Railroads build up and tear

Harvesting Potatoes.

The present has been peculiar sea-
son; it is seldom that the month of
September and the early part of Octo-
Der experience as many rainy and I'M
pleasant days as have been experienced
thus far in these two months. But this
unusual condition has not been without
its important lesson to the farmer, and
that is to harvest his crops as soon as
they are ripe and ready. This applies
with especial force at the present time
to the harvest of potatoes, especially
here in Connecticut. The crop was
pretty generally ripe the last of August
or the first of September before the
rains came on. AT that time the crop
was in excellent condition and when
dug has continued so. But when the
crop was not harvested, the opportunity
has hardly presented itself for doing
so, and the result is that there are
fields so wet that the water almost or
does stand between the rows, and as a
natural consequence the crop is being
diminished by decay. 1t is sometimes
better to omit harvest in the direction
of less perishable crops or those less
subject to injury in order that those of
a more decidedly perishable nature
may be secured against possible dan
ger. The entire crop is none too large
and the disaster of bad weather may be
the means of considerably reducing it,
a result which could be much less felt
in season Of plenty. A very safe
maxim to adopt is to harvest when
ripe. WILLIAM H. YEAMANs.
