Waking Up.

The farmers of Vermont are begin
ming to wake up to the fact that they
have the political control of the state in
their own hands. They have long
neglected to use their power, and be-
yond question have been more ring
and-railroad-ridden, and suffered more
thereby, than the farmers of any other
eastern state. 1t is for them to come
squarely to the front at this juncture
and see to it that delegates and candi-
dates are appointed for the caucusses,
conventions and the legislature, that
will stand squarely for the interest of
the Green Mountain States greatest
business. Party lines will be closely
drawn during the presidential year.
But we do hope that the politicians of
either party will not be able to blind
the farmers to the prominent and most
important fact that they should send
men to the legislature who can be de-
pended upon to fight to the bitter end
present abuse and others that may be
proposed. If the farmers of Vermont
will act on this theory they will carry
their point and still need be none the
less loyal to their party. The democrat
may vote for Cleveland and the re-
publican for Harrison, but farmers of
both political faiths should unite in an
earnest effort to elect legislature that
will not be subservient to the power
which has so long domineered. -New

What Is a " Food"

The Mirror and Farmer has the fol-
lowing:
The Rural Vermonter says: But
ter will remain sweet longer when I'M
sailed than when salted;" and that men
and animals eat salt " because it is a
food" Now if salt is food, animal
life can be sustained on it. Let the
editor of the II. Y. try it few days on
his own stomach. If butter will keep
longer without salt, so will meat and
fish. What tremendous waste of this
food" there has been in the fish and
meat and dairy business for ages Why
quarrel over the fisheries ? Let the ig-
norant foreigners have the fish and we
will grow corpulent sucking rock salt
Never mind the sugar; we can put salt
in our coffee.
We looked up and down the column,
and all around, to make sure that the
above was editorial before we could be-
lieve it to be from the pen of the we'll
posted agricultural editor of our con-
temporary; and we had at last to con-
sole our disappointment by the rehec-
ton that a man may be sound agri-
culturist without necessarily being a
Psychologist. The assumption that if
salt is a food animal life can be sus-
tanned on it " is quite absurd. Sugar
is a food, but life can not be sustained
long on sugar alone, nor indeed on gel
atine, or casein, or starch, or fatal
of which are surely foods. Salt is a
food Of which very little is demanded
by the animal system, yet that little is
just as essential as any other element.
Right here it strikes us that when
such intelligent men fail to make such
an obvious discrimination it is quite
hopeless for agricultural editors to try
to ding" it into the minds of unset
entifc farmers that phosphoric acid,
potash and organic nitrogen are plant
foods, and yet that unless plant is sup
piled Nth all three Of them IL UiLl not
live and gro,C. The two cases are eX-
actly parallel. The starchy and pro-
teine elements must be fed to animals
together, and with them the metallic
salts of calcium, of iron and of sodium
probably of potassium and magnesium
also), with phosphorus and sulphur,
before animal bodies can be properly
sustained and kept alive. Every one is
essential and each one is a food, but no
one, two, three, or any less than all,
make complete food. See?

SWEEPING THE MARKET LIKE AN AVA
LANcHE.-The most remarkable thing in
business lines is the Moxie Company in
Lowell, 1t is said the sales in little more
than two years are over 100000 bottles
This liquid food is remarkable, if we NAV
believe what is said about it, Lately the
athletes, actors and actresses and heavy
business men have taken to it like mad,
Yesterday word came from Maiden that
IL had raised an old case of helpless paral-
ysis and another in Lowell. If this is so

Using. Lately the United States courts
have cleared out the counterfeiters and i'm

that can take the place of stimulants, with
out harm, as a beverage, is particularly well
come. The company made hit by putting

Care of Farm Horses.

The general appearance of the farm
horses throughout the country furnishes
convincing proof that the great funda-
mental principle that feed and work are
to one another in inverse ratio is widely
ignored. Thus in severe weather, when
to work abroad is most eXhausting to
the animal system, no change is made
in the daily ration, neither are pre-
cautionary measures taken when forced
illness occurs. In the term severe
weather." the extremes of heat and
cold, as well as that most trying phase,
drenchlng rains, are included. Few
horse-owners seem to be aware how
dangerous to the lives of horses are
heavy rains. A thunder-shower en-
countered in the course of heavy work
will cause chest-founder, rheumatism
and lung and bronchial troubles. With
these serious dangers at hand horse
owners would need to be cautious and
well provided against the possible re-
suits. The winter of this year, from Jan
uary l, 1888, to May, 1888, was a period
OF sore trial to animal life. The weak
and the strong alike went down before its
unwonted fury. The powerful truck
horse, we'll cared for in city stables, the
family horse of the villager, the rag
picker's starving cripple, the sleek and
pampered carriage-horse, the high
priced trotter, and even the costly and
scientifically cared for thoroughbred,
all suffered more or less from the vista
ton of a severe and protracted winter.
The sole cause of this widespread suf-
fering and large attendant loss was not
the dreadful weather experienced. 1t

THE /" fall web-worm" has already
appeared in unusually large numbers.
These ravenous feeders are seemingly
bent upon devouring the pulpy sub
stance of every green leaf in our orch
ards and to leave nothing but the
veins - mere leaf-skeletons - behind
themselves. The enemy's camp is easily
detected by the web with which they
surround their forage grounds and by
the scorched appearance of the infested
twigs and branches. Hunt these camps
up in time; cut off the limbs and twigs
to which they adhere and destroy the
brood in infancy and before they scat
ter far and wide and get out Of your
reach.

THE population of Montpelier is about
three thousand, and we would say at least
one-half are troubled with some affection of
the throat and lungs, as those complaints
are, according to statistics, more numerous
than others. We would advise all our read

A Great Victory
A Terrible Case of Scrofula
Cured by
Hoods SarsapariIla

" In the winter of 1879 was attacked with
Scrofula in one of the most aggravating forms.
At one time had no less than thirteen large
assesses over and around my neck and throat,
continually exuding an offensive mass of
bloody matter disgusting to behold, and
almost intolerable to endure. 1t is impossible
to fully describe my sunerings, as the case
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After
three years of misery, having been treated by
three physicians, | was worse than ever.
Finally, on the recommendation of w. j.
Iiuntley, druggist, of Lockport, was induced
TO try Hoods Sarsaparilla. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
twelve months, the scrofulous eruptions have
entirely ceased, and the assesses have all
disappeared, except the unsghtly scars, which
are daily becoming smaller by degrees, and
beautifully less do not know what IL may
have done for others, but / do know that in
my case, Hoods Sarsaparila has proved an
effective specific indeed. AS an evidence of
my gratitude i send these facts unsolicited,
and am ready to verify the authenticity OF
this cure, by personal correspondence with
any one who doubts it," CHARLES A, ROB.
ERTs, East Wilson, N Y.
This statement is confirmed by w. j. Hunt

cure great victory for Hoods Sarsaparilla.

Ensilage Questions.

Mr.. EditOr:-I have one acre of en-.
silage sweet-corn planted, and little
more than an acre of field-corn. The
fodder-corn is planted in hills about
twenty inches apart and l expect it
will ear. l wish to ask if you think it
will be profitable for me to put the crop
of both acres into small silo l have,
ears and all when in the milk, to feed
to cows in full flow of milk next winter?
If / husk the field-corn / shall grind
cob and all and feed to cows. Also l
will state that don't like the strong
smell from sour ensilage, scenting barn
and clothing. And can fodder be pre-
served all right and sweet, so as to
smell and taste sweet? Cows eat the
sour stuff readily, but can't say | like
it much, but it may be better than TO
try to dry it and fail. l should be
pleased to have answers to these ques-
tions in the WATERMAN, and also the
,ody to preserve fodder sweet if it can
be done successfully.
CHARLES H. COLE.
Lunenburgh, Vt.
REMARKs.-We think it would be
quite right to ensilo the two crops
together, as suggested. In regard to
sweet ensilage, we can not say much
from experience; but we believe that
the slow process Quitting in only few
feet at time, at intervals of two or
three days. is more apt to give sweet
ensilage than the other way. We wish
those readers who can give practical
information on the subject would send
us reply to Mr.. Cole. We know you
are busy, dear readers, but not too busy,
we hope, to help brother farmer in this
way. AGRICULTURAL EDITOR,
