A Painful Picture.--Is 1t True!

A writer in the Netc England Farmer
says of the American farmer: &C. By in
heritance he is man of strong preiu-
dices, and by force of circumstances
man of narrow experience. His isola-
ton on the farm and lack of personal
acquaintance with public men make
him in large measure dependent upon
the partisan press for political instluc-
ton and guidance. AS it is his misfor-
tune almost invariably to come into the
world heavily mortgaged to some one
party, he, perhaps not unnaturally, falls
into the habit of reading such papers and
only such papers as are devoted to the
interests of that party. Quite as often
as otherwise he takes only one political
paper, and that one of the most blatant
and INSCRIPTIONS of partisan sheets.
Everything that the paper contains, no
matter how improbable or illogical it
may be, he swallows, not only without
winking but with an alacrity and child
like confidence that carry JOY and glad
ness to the yearning hearts of his party
bosses. Any political opinions or news
items that are not endorsed by his favor
tie paper he has no use for and rejects
with prOmptness and decision. Indeed,
so blindly devoted is he to what he i'm
AGNES to be his political principles that
if he happens to be a republican he
will hardly condescend to light his
kitchen fire with democratic journal.
If he is a democrat he will sometimes
even hesitate to take the risk of infec-
ton incurred in carrying his republican
neighbours paper in his overcoat pocket
from the post-oflice, the distance of
half mile. Men of this character are
the natural allies and support of po-
litical shysters and demagogues. 1t is
such as they that make political cor
ruption not only possible but newt
able. They can always be relied upon
with absolute certainty to walk up to
the polls on election day and to cast
their votes for the regular machine can
didates of their party, no matter how
disreputable those candidates may be
or how certain it may be that if elected
they will improve the first opportunity
wantonly to betray the dearest interests

Smaller Farms Preferred.

Shall we increase the size of our
farms TO 500 or 1000 acres, in order
that we may say that we are carrying
on large business? Can we not, on
the majority of our farms, increase the
business tenfold and, in many instances,
more, and allow the acreage to remain
as ii is, and also allow the brush and
trees to grow upon land that was for
merry TILED, and which never should
have been TILED? Our ambition should
be to secure heavy crops upon limited
acreage. Cor. Homestead.

A MOST important consideration in
the ration is that of bulk. If too bulky,
the animal has to eat too much to ge I
sufficient nourishment, and becomes
uncomfortable. If not bulky enough,
the animal will take in more nutritive
material than it can digest in order to
produce the proper sense of fulness.
This deranges the stomach and causes
waste. This shows the advantage of
mixed rations.

UNCLEAN, decayed or improper food
of any kind will injure the quality of
the milk and the health of the cow. SO
impure, stagnant or unclean water will
injure both the cow and the quality of
the milk. Wholesome food and water
are necessary to keep the cow healthy,
and only healthy cows give wholesome
milk.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1889-11-13

BEFORE beginning 10 milk brush all
the loose hairs and dirt from the
cows side and udder. If the udder is
soiled, have pail of water and cloth
or sponge at hand, and give it thor
ough cleaning. Have the hands dry
and clean, and do not wet the cows
teats with milk. 1t is "A filthy habit.

Graveyard in Tova.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Wil you allow US
space in your valuable paper to enter a
protest against the further enlargement
of the graveyard in the town of Leba-
non. When the present burying place
WAS selected there was no thought of
the town reaching its present limit,
but now, with settlements all around
the old graveyard, and with bright
prospect of rapid future growth, it
looks absurd for the trustees to try to
enlarge it right in town. Besides the
looks Of the thing it is dir, ct injury
to several of us living on the north and
east side of it. We hold that they
have no right thus to damage US and
our property in any such way, and if
the trustees persist in their efforts to
enlarge under our most solemn protest,
then we will be compelled to try for
redress at the hands of the law. 1t is
a well known fact here that there is an
under current of water running north
and northeast all the time, thss com
pelling US to drink the water from
the decomposing bodies of the dead.
We sincerely hope that this matter
may be adjusted without recourse to
Law, but if nothing but law will settle
it, then let it come. CITIZENS.

We have been asked several times
lately why we did not publish certain
scandalous reports that are floating
around on the "Vox populi" This pa
per does not propose TO pe a scavenger
that runs after the filth and scum of

bition than TO play the part of carrion
crow by repeating in the press eAery
little dirty tale that we happen TO hear
