That Cabbage story.

That accomplished farmer, Col. George
w. Hooker of Brattleboro, is still giving
his fellow soil-tillers remarkable advice.
He claims that the Vermont farmers are
handicapped eating -four and that their
bread diet should consist altogether of corn
meal Now if Col Hooker should put him
self exclusively upon this agricultural diet
for "A whole week, nature would suggest to
him that he'had made a mistake. We are
quite confident that a single day of corn
meal sustenance would be sufficient TO re
strain the vital energies of the colonel. 1t
was Col. Hooker who proposed to subvert
the laws of God and nature in an attempt to
raise nothing but cabbage in the town Of
Jamaica and the upper West river valley
Why does not Col Hooker advise the Yer
mont farmers to raise nothing but mules
from Shetland ponies. This would prove a
paying crop.-Montpelier Argus.
The above is of course intended merely
for banter, and is directed against one who
is known to be better able to stand it than
any other man in the state of Vermont.
We heard and reported Col. Hooker's speech
at the Jamaica fair some years ago, and
portions to which the cabbage story has
grown. He simply directed attention to
the profits which have been made in the
cultivation of special crops, giving, as an it,
lusUration, several instances of large re.
turns from the culture of cabbages, and
urging somewhat strongly the trial of that
special crop, for, with the present facilities
for getting them to the city markets, they
might be raised there at a profit as well as
elsewhere

There is a good deal of truth in the fol
lowing. which was written for the n. y.
Tribune by A Wright:
To compel sheep to gnaw on the very
grass roots is alike disastrous to pasturage
and flock. If our friend will keep few
sheep in addition to his other stock he can
make them very useful in destroying nox
ious weeds and plants, by moving them
from field to field. But they must be kept
within bounds, as their destroying capacity
among young trees and berry bushes is tire
mendous.
Mr.. Aliens idea of improving the Meri
no mutton qualities with the Southdown' is
all right so far as the first cross is concerned /;
after this it becomes a harsh wooded mon
grel, with few of the good qualities of either,
Here a great many flock owners are rails
ing grade Southdowns for early lambs from
large Merino ewes A young friend of
mine sheared u pounds of delaine wool
from such ewes, and raised few crops of
early lambs which he sold at home for 50. GO
head. This is but an average instance,
We agree that it is wise to import South
downs they are justly acknowledged best
for mutton the world over and are about
the only English sheep that seem to do well
in our dry and rigorous climate, and do not
have to be kept up by constant importa'
tions.
The advice to rid the Merinos of "odious
grease and wrinkles is all right so far a:
the wrinkles are concerned. But it is wei
| to understand here that a certain quantity
of this peculiar oil is necessary to keep the
| fleece soft and white, and even to preserve
| the lustre after it is shorn. In excess, t

secured at expense of constitution. That

Timothy seed may be sown early in the
spring, with fair prospect of good catch,
but it will not be so good as that sown any
time in the fall, Timothy is very hardy,
aud is rarely killed out in winter when fall
sown on land where water does not stand
and freeze during the winter. 1t will not
make a meadow the coming season, how
ever, even if sown without grain. On
most lands through central and western
New York there are weed seeds enough to
come up with the timothy whose growth is
quite as injurious as any grain crop could
be. 1t sounds well 10 talk about seeding
with grass alone TO give it better chances (;
but, in fact, the unbidden guests, the weeds,
get more of the surface than the grass it
self Timothy seed grows so much better
sown in the fall that if only timothy were
wanted on the ground it will pay TO defer
seeding until then, in the meantime taking
a spring grain crop off the land, and plow-
ing lightly as soon as it is harvested II the

THE VERMONT PHCEN1x BRATrLEBORO FRIDAY JULY 8 1889
THE HOUSEHOLD.


The summer time is the season Of the
hardest work ON the farm, but il is also the
time when all enjoy more Of fresh, pure air
than at any other and il should therefore
be the most hcalthful. What diseases do
occur in summer are chiefly due 10 errors
in diet If a man keeps his stomach in good
condition and his blood in active circulation,
he need not be sick during hot weather.
The old tabled land Of perpetual summer,
where youth also was perpetual, had as
much basis of truth as this Barring excess
in any way men are less likely to die during
warm weather than at other seasons of the
year.
Sickness of the stomach and bowels are
most common, not in the hottest weather,
but when heat is alternated by chills. There
may be laxness Of bowels from eating fruit
but unless the subject is hard at work, this
is not to be deprecated The fact that lax
alive fruits and vegetables are most plenti
full in summer indicates them as the appro
pirate foods for this season. They are not
TO be the exclusive foods Hard workers
either with brain or body need some more
strengthening nutrition. The coarser parts
of wheaton grain, or the entire grain ground
| together, are the ideal food for summer for
hard workers Oats also ground and cook
ed so as to be palatabe are nearly as good
as wheat. Where either or both of these
can be had meats, in summer will not be
much needed. The fat pork that is the
staple twice a day on so many country tables
may be needed to supplement deficiencies
in the vegetable diet. But if whole wheat
flour and oatmeal constitute a liberal part
of the diet, there need be no deficiencies to
supplement
Peas and beans are also excellent and
scarcely less so for strength giving when
green, as in summer, than when in their
dried state OF course green peas and beans
require some extra care over the field crop
grown to sell as grain. But they are as
important parts of the garden as any others,
and for healthful nutrition are perhaps more
So There is popular prejudice against some
kinds of vegetables, especially green cucum-
bers as being unhealthful but if judgment
is used in eating them, and the mans OF
woman's stomach has not been previously
debiltated, they will do no harm. 1t is the
previous neglect of the laws of health rather
than the unhealthfulness of different kind
of food, that is mainly responsible for sick
ness in the summer season.-Im. CWtirdf

Few persons who are not themselves ex-
perts in the business are aware of the prog
ress which has been made in the past quar-
ter Of a century in scientific bee culture.
1t is a science the fine points of which only
now and then one thoroughly masters. To
one who has done this, agriculture is fasci-
mating and sometimes profitable. But few
bees are kept in this section, but the bust
ness is becoming quite important in the
country as a whole. The department of
agriculture has this year. for the first time,
undertaken to make a special statistical in
vestigation into the present condition and
prospects of the industry, and a report of
the result will be made in October The
June report says
Among the minor branches of rural in
dustry Bookkeeping is one of the most i'm
portant, though its prominence is not gene
rally recognized, from the fact that it is
almost everywhere carried on as an Incl
dent of general agriculture, and but rarely
as a leading rural occupation. Every state
and territory reports bees and more or less
honey-usually hive or few colonies for
each farmer, rather than extensive apiaries
and extensive production. In some locali-
ties, as in portions of New York, Ohio
Tennessee and California, where existing
conditions are particularly favorable, api-
culture is more prominent, dominating 9th
err industries perhaps in a neighborhood,
though very rarely the leading branch of
agriculture over any considerable area.
The value of the annual product of honey
and wax is not generally realized they are
produced more or less extensively in every
section of the country, and the aggregate
value is large-much larger than that of
other crops, of which more notice is usual
ly taken 1t almost equals the value of the
rice or the hop crops, falls but little short
of the buckwheat product, exceeds the value
of our cane molasses, and of both maple
syrup and sugar. 1t largely exceeds the
aggregate value of all our vegetable fibres
except cotton, and in 1879 was half as
large as the wine product of the year.
The latest official record of production by
states is the return of the national census
for the year 1879. 1t made the honey pro
duction %, TAB, POS pounds and wax /, 105,
$50 pounds. This office, after carefully
studying all available data of local values
and market prices, estimated the averag,
farm value of the honey at % cents pei

George F. Parsons, in the Atlantic Month
ly for July, 1888, says "While labor is
throwing away that enormous sum annu
ally, with what show of consistency can it
lament its condition One years remission
of that destructive self-indulgence would
solve every labor problem extant. At pres.
ent the workingman can hardly make both
ends meet is it not because he insists in
creating capitalists out of the saloon keep
ers The saloon is the most hideous abuse
of the day, but where would it be if the
workingmen withdrew their support from
it 1t keeps them poor. 1t STILES progress
1t brutalizes husbands and fathers, breaks
womens hearts, puts rags on the workman 5
back, disease in his body and shame and
despair in his heart Yet when labor is
most disturbed, when the demand for ad-
vanced wages is loudest, when strikes are
most frequent, when hunger and misery are
most rife in the houses of the poor, the
saloon fourishes still There may be no
bread at home, but there is always beer and
whiskey at the bar, and the men who con
slider themselves the victims of circumstance
or the "thrals' of capital squander their
earnings in these dens. Can there be Sc
rious labor question while this state of things
continues Can workingmen talk gravely
of their wrongs while it is plain to all the
world that if they only saved the capital
they earn they would be all right.
