into each pound of sugar one pound of

an hour, or until the fruit appears to be
done. Pour the preserves into a basin,
taking care not to break the fruit, and
allow it to stand until the next day,

the preserving kettle and let it boil until
it will jelly, skimming it as before; then

CHAFF.-In old times, when grain
was threshed with a fail, farmers took
special pains to save the chaff. 1t is
more nutritious, and when free from
dust, more palatable than straw. A
certain quantity OF chaff was mixed
with the grain fed to horses. When
machines were introduced for cutting
hay or straw into short lengths they
were called ''chafiing machines" and
the cut hay was called ''chaffed hay"
or ''hay-chaff." In other words, we
cut up our hay; straw and stalks to take
the place of chat. The American
threshing machines knock out the grain
clean it and carry straw and chat to-
gether ON a ''straw carrier to a straw
rack. There is no provision for separ-
ating the chaf from the straw. But
the more conservative English farmers
could not so readily change their prac-
tice of feeding, and insisted on having
machines that would keep the chaff
separate. And they got what they
wanted. We do not want such ma
chimes here, for the simple reason that
not n farm in a thousand had any
s'chaff house" or place intended for
keeping chaff. Nevertheless, it is well
to know that chaff is valuable, so that
whenever we have an opportunity OF
saving it, we may do so.

LAWN AND FLOWER GARDEN.-In
a hot, dry spell, the grass makes but
little growth, and the lawn at such
times is injured by too much moving.
The most troublesome weed in our
lawn, the soil of which is very sandy, is
the Crab-grass (Panicam san3utndte).
This is a late annual, the stem of which
lies prostrate, taking root at every JOINT.
The flower cluster grows on stems tall
enough to be cut by the mower. As it
is an annual, the preventive of seeding
should exterminate it. The mowings
should be raked up and burned; for fear
that some seeds may ripen.
When ornamental shrubs are out of
flower, it is well to cut away the flower
clusters and not allow the shrubs to ex-
haust themselves in ripening seed, save
those with ornamental fruit. The same
may be said of herbaceous perennials,
though of the seeds are often wanted.
The garden should 10Y be gay with
gladioluses, lilies and other summer
blooming bulbs. Provide those that
need it with stakes. Greenhouse plants
turned out into the borders should not
suffer for want of water. If such
plants are to be taken up later they
should be pruned with this in view.
Many herbaceous perennials succeed
best from the seed, if these are sown as
soon as ripe, the plants getting large
enough TO stand the winter with slight
protection.

How To MAKE LEMoNADE.-Lem-
onade is economical if the opportunity
of making a lemon syrup is seized when
lemons are cheap. Crate the thin yell
low rind of twelve large lemons over SIX
pounds of granulated sugar. Add two
nnarts of water and stir ove the FIRE
until the sugar is dissolved. Bring to a
boil and boil until it thickens, skimming
as fast as the skum rises. Add the
Juice of the twelve lemons and skinner
fifteen minutes longer. Bottle and cork
tightly and keep in a cool place. Two
tablespoonfuls of this syrup will make
a delicious glass Of lemonade. We must
agree with tipplers that the lemonade
Of church fairs is not a ''nice drink"
But if you will rub the rind Of a lemon
with a lump of cut sugar, extract the
Juice of half a lemon with a squeezer
that will keep out the pulp and seed,
nh up the glass with cold water, add a
strawberry, two or three luscious black
berries, or a stem of c~urrants, and will
flu Their furnish it with two straws, you
will have a drink pleasing to the eye
and palate. Lemonade made as above,
substituting tea, weak or strong, accord
ing to taste, for water, is both stimulat-
ing and refreshing.

Vermont Humane Society

The Vermont Humane Society, while
it has not accomplished as much as its
members had earnestly hoped, yet the
effects of its efforts are plainly percepti-
BILE in the creation of a higher and Dobler
public sentiment, as well as in the many
instances of relief to the suffering by the
application of legal remedies. The soci
ETY. has heretofore been crippled for
want of means to carry on thoroughly
its praisewortby undertakings. In other
States contributions, of various amounts,
are made by those in sympathy with the
objects of such societies, thus enabling
their officers to do effectual work. The
Vermont Humane Society is fast taking
its place with kindred societies in finan-
cial standing. The president, Hon. II.
B. Williams, whose untiring energy has
been the support of the society through
its infantile years, was, a short time
since, the recipient of two liberal dona-
tions, with directions to appropriate
them to the interests of the society. One
of 800 from Mrs. Ellen b. French. Be-
lott, Wis, the other, $75, from Mrs F, B.
Powell, Woodstock, Vt. 1t is earnestly
hoped that these instances of generosity
may soon be followed by others of SINH
lar character, thereby promoting the rap
id growth of society which has for its
objects the prevention of cruelty and
crime and the development of noble,
kind and generous impulses. 1t is fur
ther hoped that societies will be formed IN
different parts of the State, or that in
dividuals will become members of the
State society. Herewith is subjoined ar
tIcle of the constitution relative to
membership.
Any person who may be elected by the society,
become life member OF this society by paying
S25 an active member by paying BIO per annum;
an honorary member by being elected as such by
the society and a branch member by paying any
sum not less than 81 per annum. Children under
IS years of age may become associate members
by paying so cents per annum.

will be displayed upon the occasion OF
Frear's Annual Fall Opening and Exhi-
bition for the season of 1889, will cause
all former exhibitions of the kind to be
considered as among the minor attrac-

taste and unlimited capital could procure
will be temptingly displayed in every
department of the Troy Bazaar, which,
for this occasion has been renovated
from attic to basement, and where paint
and paper leaves off artistic hands have
added glowing bits of color in gorgeous
fabrics from Europe, the Orient and the
artistic weavers of our own land, till ev-
erywhere the Bazaar glistens and spark
les like an Arabian nights dream.
As 20 the new goods shown on this &C.
casion, description will fail to give an
adequate idea of their beauty and ele-
gance. Mr.. Frear personally visited the
most famed manufacturers OF Europe
the past summer and selected gems in
silk and other materials, many patterns
Of which were manufactured expressly
for exhibition at tie Paris Exposition,
and which are not to be seen on this side
OF the Atlantic outside the Troy Bazaar,
Adding to these the curiously wrought
textiles and art objects of the Orient, a
rich and gorgeous display is produced
that will repay miles of journey to be-
hold.
For the remaining days OF the week
the richest goods, for which Frear is eel
ebrated, will be placed before the eyes Of

Last week we published an item from
which detailed the arrest of Charles 81.
Robson, step-son Of ex-Sherif Mccall,
on the charge of selling confiscated liq =
uor while stored in the jail here, Robson
being jailor. The account as printed ia
the story which has been passed around
town for several months, and has once
or twice before crept into the columns
of our contemporaries. Mr.. Robson
from Burlington returned to town and
was arrested here on behalf of the State
and tried before the Municipal court for
violations of the Prohibitory law. After
two days trial he was honorably &C
quilted, not particle of evidence being
found to sustain the charge, although
the State obtained continuance to the
second day in order to obtain, if possible
evidence of his guilt. This result is q
complete Yindication for Mr.. Robson
and very gratifying to his friends. The
United States case of course is still pend
ing, but it is not far to fOresee without
other evidence the outcome Of that pro-
ceeding in the light of these findings OF
the lower court.
We have taken pains to obtain his
side of the story and from the family
we learn that he had made all arrange.
ments to leave town last April with hit
family. before the papers were made ouI
for alleged violations of the Prohibitory
law, and that by advice of his attorney
he did not change them, but when the
time arrived went to Salem, N. Y, with
his wife. After a week Robson returned
to the State, working in Rupert, and wal
in Rupert when arrested, as stated by
the Free Press They drove to Salem
N. Y, to take the train for Burlington
From this it would appear that Robson
has not been the fugitive from justice
that Dame Rumor would have us believe
and returned here last week to give tht
Bennington officers an opportunity L
arrest him if they saw fit.
These facts ought to count to restore
the good name which IS the rightfu
heritage OF all innocent men when false
ly accused.

BENNINGTON. VERMONT
Thursday Afternoon, Sept. 10, 1889.

The Wdtchmdn recently sent out
circular addressed, largely as it says, to
Republican members of the Senate and
House for several terms; State, county,
and in some instances, town officers ask
ing their opinion as to the desirability of
returning to the rule of promoting
Lieutenant-Gover to the first office,
or otherwise. The Free Press "stole the
Vdtchmdn'S thunder" by publishing its
circular and thus precipitated an issue
for discussion In advance of its cOntem-
porary's consensus. This week, how
ever, the Waterman gives the result, and
from it we infer that the party, general
ly, are in favor of entire freedom from
any rule of promotion of the second to
the first office in the State. OF the an
swers received by the IYdtchmdR, sixty
seven per cent. are opposed to the return
to the rule prior to 1886 of promotion OF
the Lieutenant. Governor to the Guber
material chair. We believe this is sound
doctrine, provided this theory is not also
crystalized into an unwritten law that
in no instance should there be promo
ton. 1t might occur that the one hold
ing the second place would be the choice
of the people (by reason of fitness for
the first But ON general principles ro-
tation in these two offices is an evil and
the abrogation of the rule in 1886, was a
step in the right direction, The press OF
the State, with few exceptions, are a
unite in this opinion.
