STRAWBERRY NOTES. --Straw berries
do not anymore seem TO bring the
large prices of former years We
must economist someway. But the
attempt to save in the manure ac-
count is like trying to make the dairy
business pay by withholding the grain
rations from the cows. The cheaper
the milk, the better care must be Civ
Ell to the COWS. High cultivation and
high feeding is the only thing that
can make strawberry culture profit
able in dull market.
An English strawberry grower uses
oil meal and woodaShes spread about
the plants and worked into the soil,
and recommends it as clean fertilizer
for Strawberries, No weeds in that
manure.
The composing of coarse manure,
even for period of one or two years,
will not destroy the vitality of half
the weed seed in it,
Considerable heat in fermentins
manure may kill most of the weed
seeds in it, but it also and always i'm
pairs the value of the Orch
ard and Garden.

The united opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1881-1970, 1888-12-21

We notice that several of our con-
temporaries in this state have taken to
task Chairman Page of the Republican
State Committee for his efforts in ar
ranging cheap clubbing rates with the
large city papers, claiming that he is
injuring the papers of his own state.
We are not inclined to take the above
view of the matter. The metropolitan
papers possess faculties for news gath
ering from the entire country which
the local country journals can never
hope to attain, even if such wild field
of action came within their province.
The work of the country journal must
of necessity be limited to narrower
field of action and we do not think
that its patrons expect i. to be all that
they may desire for newspaper 80
that they will need no other. We be-
lieve that the local paper should con-
fine itself more particularly to the in
terests of its own immediate vicinity,
and if its patrons are looking else
where for their general news the man
agement can give more of their time
and attention to such matters. We
therefore believe that Chairman Page
is helping the press of the state instead
of doing it injury, and that he should
be commended for his efforts to bring
the best and brightest papers of the
country within the reach of all.

Guiding the one on trial.
After the call of the docket the mo-
ton for continuance made by the
plaintiffs in Nos. SO and Sc, John B.
Locke and others v. Geo. G. Cook was
heard. The ground of the motion was
that the defendant in these cases hav-
ing pleaded judgment of the supreme
court in the cases of Corinth v. Locke
and others as bar to the prosecution
Of these suits, the plaintiffs were en-
titled to how the exact grounds upon
which such decision was made and

tiff, Shurtleff and Harvey for defend
ant.
No. 81, ROxana Prescott v. Town of
Vershire apt. was also continued on

The special religious services under
the able leadership of Rev. E. A. Whit
tier closed in the Congregational
church on Wednesday evening after
sermon of unusual power. The scene
was one long to be remembered, the
converts sitting in body at the front
and at the close of the sermon giving
evidence of the noble purpose which
animated them in joyful song and ring
ing testimonials. Though scores have
been converted the good work done
among christian men and women in
the churches cannot be measured, and
the fruit of these two weeks of self
sacrificing labor on the part of the
evangelist and the workers who sus-
tanned him will appear in the fuller de-
velopments of christian life all through
the town and beyond, in the days to
come. For thoroughness and depth Of
power the work wrought surpasses the
expectation of the most sanguine. The
most tremendous truths of the Bible
were unfolded with boldness and f.
deity but in spirit SO gentle and ten
der that opposition was disarmed and
the large and mixed congregations at
tending every service listened with a
reverent thoughtfulness seldom wit
messed under such searching ministry.
The committees appointed to attend to
the financial part Of the enterprise
were easily successful and Mr.. Whit
tier left on Thursday morning with as
deep all impression of the large heart
edness of Bradford as he had before
entertained of its intelligence and
moral strength There will be a
union service this (Friday) evening in
the Congregational vestry, and on
Sabbath evening next there will be
union service in the audience room Of
the same church when Rev. A. J.
Hough will preach. All the singers of
Bradford are cordially invited to the
front seats OH that evening to join in
the preliminary service of praise.
