There is every prospect that the Vermont
representatives will be well provided for in a
committee way in this Congress Both
Representatives Stewart and Circuit were
promptly in their places as usual at the
opening Of Congress, The former stands
near the head of the judiciary committee,
and he is recognized as the ablest member
on the republican side. Il. Is. Taylor, of
Ohio it is true, leads him in point Of Sc
niority on this committee, but it is limited
as among the possibilities that Speaker
Reed may select the New Highlander for tho
craftsmanship. The personal relations Of
the two have always been the most friendly,
and Governor Stewards ability and expe-
lience would probably find greater scope there
than in any other position in the House.
Gen CIRCUIT is at present on two commit
tees that on the District of Columbia and
that on levees and improvements in the Mis-
sissippi river. On the district committee
he stands second in point of seniority, but it
remains TO be seen whether Rowell of Hi
uois. who stands at the head Of the commit
tee, will not be given the Craftsmanship of
tlns elections committee, Of which he also
stands at the head. In that case, the chair
mauship Of the District committee would in
i -ular course fall to the Vermont member,
Cen. Grout. 1t would be eminently
proper that such should be the case,
for the senior Vermont senator is recog-
nized as the staunchest friend OF the district
In the Senate. 1t has been suggested, how
ever, that Mr.. Circuit viii be placed at the
head of the civil service committee, which
will be organized by Speaker Reed, con
trary to custom of late years on a basis OF
sympathy with civil service reform. Cen
CIRCUITS selection for this chairman ship
would give him an admirable opportunity
to push his plan for reforming the methoC
Of appointment of postmasters. Neither
Gen. Grout nor Gov. Stewart, however
are men who worry about their reativ,
positions in committees. Vermont vii
stand well in this Congress wherever the
go.

successful Farming in Nutshell.

a, s. Baker of Rutland county writes
the Homestead as follows: IF we have
made farming pay it is because we have
become habituateI to an economy of OK
penditures in the past. or blessed with an
uncommonly acute foresight, for the year
has been filled with discouras emcnts. If
we have made a failure, such calling to
account will tell us exactly where the
trouble lies. Farmers profits are necessar-
lily small, being made 50 by the high price
of labor and the already acquired habit Of
luxury, together with the reduced product
iveness Of our farms This is all the more
reason why our accounts should be care
fully watched, so that any leakage may be
promptly stopped
Henry Brockway of Windsor county
says: 'Farmers should know the cost of n
pound Of butter, the cost of raising all
kinds Of stock, and which are the most
profitable, They should also know the
cost of raising the different crops and, best
of all, how to live happily ON the farm.

FARMEps WILL CAM THEIR OWN roMAroE

Bidgeton, N. j., Feb. 8 Special. Tho farmers
Of South Jersey arc completely discouraged. Many
Of the best and oldest say they cannot make both
ends meet and that the outlook is not encouraging
Many farmers have made assignments and others arc
In the hands Of the sheriff. To add to their dis
comature the tomato crop which has been their main
stay, has proved disastrous both 10 quantity and
prcc. For two seasons the farmers have tried to
form trusts Last year they were Indifferent and
but few could be persuaded to enter tho combination
b demand higher price from the canning factories
and now the second seasons meeting for that purpose
has proved dismal tarre. They say they win make
their own sales for whatever they can act The
Gamers are consequently juhant and eontrae ting
with small farmers for 50 per ton and less, this being
even a lower figure than paid last year The
larger farmers declare they will not grow a tomato
for less than 81 per ton and may demand %. while
In Burlington County they want so and 80 New
Jersey packed 90 900 last year. onehah
Of which were from Cumberland and Salem counties.
The crop in these counties short onehalf on ac-
count Of extremes OF wet and Of cold weather. and
the price being low but few growers paid expenses.
Notwithstanding these facts four five now

The soil and climate of South Jersey is peculiarly
