AND SHALLOW PLANTING.
The figures In tho second cut show
tho comparative strength OF tho deep
and shallow planting as these crops
approach maturity. No invariable rulo
can be given for the best depth. II must
vary with tho character OF tho soil and
OF the season. II tho surface soil Ii
moist enough, ono inch would bo better
than two, and two inches better than a
greater depth. But II sufficient prepa-
ration has been given, 1t Is only on tho
lightest soil that greater depth than
two inches will be required With
rough land and clods, 1t may bo neces-
sary to give greater depth.
Gardeners have found it important TO
firm the soil In order to insure tho ger
mipation Of fine seed sown slightly be-
low the surface. For large seed this
operation Is less essential, but cases may
occur when with dry or loose SOIL roll
ing the ground may DO Of much use
But whenever resorted to, advises the
authority quoted, tho farmer should
carefully observe II II makes tho parti-
clcs Of soil adhere together, In which
case 1t will do moro harm than good.
Tho same care must be used whether TO
sow before or after rain, where the
farmer has tho choice.

necessary for the farmer TO use his judg-
ment in all cases OF the kind.

For best Results In nutter M.hlns.

1t is generally conceded that for best
results In butter making, where tho milk
Is set In deep cans, tho milk should be
placed In the crcamer as nearly as possi-
bio at the temperature at which Il u
drawn from tho COW, there being con-
siderable loss Of fat in skim milk II tho
milk is allowed TO cool TO any great ex-
tent before being set. OF late there has
been considerable controversy as TO
whether II Is advisable under any condi-
tions to warm tho milk before setting,
and as &c the limit Of temperature be-
yond which 1t Is not safo to go.
Mr.. !. +. Roberts concludes, a. the re-
suit Of Investigations ut the College oe
Agriculture at Cornell university, that.
first, there Is loss Of butter when the
milk is allowed TO cool much below tho
normal heat Of tho COW before being put
In tho creamer; second. while there may
not be any very great increase Of butter
when the milk Is heated, there is no risk
Of injuring the quality OF the butter by
incorporating an excess of caseine, even
when the milk Is heated as high a. 1856

rests with the propagator who selccted
an unsuitable variety of wildings as

until the budded sorts attain tho size Of

ally after the treo has left the hands Of

THE MERAAD.
ISLAND POND, VT, FEBRUARY 8.
VERMONT CENTENNIAL.

Apropos Of the effort that is being
made throughout Vermont to have
the State thoroughly represented at
the approaching centennial of the
first Inauguration of Washington in
New York City, it may not be amiss
to Suggest that something should be
done, even at this early day, towards
arranging for our own centennial.
Vermont was the first addition to
the Is states composing the Union
that emerged from the Revolution.
The stormy quarrel over her land
titles which her settlers had with
the authoritiessof New York kept
her out of the Union during the
Revolutionary war, though it did
not keep her out of the patriotic
armies. In l777 the people of this
State formed a constitution, and
proclaimed themselves an independ-
ent commonwealth under the name
of New Connecticut. British emiss-
aries tried to intrigue with them
against the thirteen struggling col
onies, but Vermont was as true to
the cause of liberty then as she has
been ever since. But it was not
until 1891, after New York's de-
mands had been settled by the pay
ment of $4,000 was she admitted
to the Union as a State. During the
first half of this century our growth
was very rapid, and if our people
have not increased in numbers they
certainly have not diminished in
reputation. Other States have out.
stripped us in the race for CONNER
cial influence. Our rugged hills
cannot compete with the fertile
prairies of the west in anything but
the production of men. But through
the unanswering steadfastnesS of
her people and the abilities of hel
statesmen, Vermont has exerted in
the national councils an influence as
disproportionate to her size as that
size is disproportionate to the mag.
nitude OF Texas. Our centennial
year ought to be observed by a
grand celebration, and two years is
none too long time ahead to begin to
plan for it.

A question has arisen as to whether
the Vermont Legislature last fall
prohibited horse racing. BY COM
pairing the new law with the old, it
would seem that the purpose has
been to legalize agricultural horse
trots," while races conducted on the
betting principle are forbidden. The
original statute, section 1905 Of the
revised laws, reads as follows: "a
person who trots or races, runs or
PAGES horse or horse kind for a
purse or stake, or for wager of
anything of value" etc. The fol
lowing is the amendment: GA per-
son who trots or races, runs or PAGES
a horse or horse kind for wager of
anything of value, or cause or aids
in causing such a trot or race, shall
be fined not more than five hundred
dollars" 1t will be noticed that the
words ''purse or stake" were stricken
out of the amendment, therby dis
eliminating between "bet" and a
premium" Horses may be trotted
for purse or premium to be di-
vided according to speed, but bet
cannot be made upon any. This is
a fine distinction, but it is a dis
ttinction nevertheless. Messenger

THE SPIRIT OF PERSONAL GOSSIP.

1t is indeed pitiable sight to see
men and women so engrossed with
the trifing specks upon the lives of
those around them that they have
no thought or care left for life itself,
with all it's grandeur and achieve
ments and its wonderful possibilities.
AS penny held close to the eye
will shut out the glorious light of
the sun, so this habit of petty gossip
mean and poor as it is, will quite
obscure all the light which intelli-
gent thought and warm sympathy
would shed upon humanity. If any
one conscious and ashamed of this
folly would escape from it, let him
cultivate higher and deeper inter
est in his fellow men. Let him
study the history and read the lives
of those great men and women who
have blessed the world in all ages.
Let him consider the problems of
life which surround him here on
every hand. Let him enter into
some of the noble enterprises for the
benefaction of the race and do his
part towards the improvement of
those Immediately around him.
Above all, let him bring to the front
whatever he can of goodness, beauty,
truth or love, and bury the faults
and errors and infrmities of men in
q silence which is both kind and
wise. Then there will be no room
in his life or his thoughts for petty
gossip; and the instinct which draws
him to his fellow-men will find full
and wholesome nourishment in the
highest sense, enabling him in his
own life to bless and uplift others. =
