[From The New York Tribune.

4 somewhat curious incident Of the at
tempts which are being made to secure oc-
cupants for the abandoned farms of New
England is reported by Mr.. Valentine, the
Vermont commissioner of agricultural and
industrial interests. II am receiving he
says, "a number of letters daily from native
Nermonters and other New Englanders re-
siding in the West, asking for terms for
these farms and expressing desire to pur-
chase such lands. / look for quite an i'm
migration to Vermont" lie adds, during
the next few years of those who emigrated
West since the war; II would be inter-
estng to trace the motives Of these who
contemplate returning East after testing the
advantages which the great West is popu-
larly supposed to offer settlers. The retro
grade movement which, according to Mr.
Valentine, is likely to set in is calculated to
preserve the equilibrium Of the country.

LFrom the Springfield Union.I

The farmer may resist the imputation
that he is playing at his work, but let him
contrast the resstless well directed energy,
the rigid economy OF time and labor the
cousummato skill and sharp intelligence
requisite to handle one OF our big industries
in the face Of to-day's sharp competition,
with the hap hazard, easy going methods
employed on many farms, and he will be
forced to admit that as class the farmers
are not keeping up their end Of the indus
trial balance. There is money enough in
farming If it is reduced to a science and
worked for the money there is in it; if
worked for the living simply 1t will never
be a brilliant financial success

down at an earlier period Of his career than
would otherwise be the case: his chance OF
of gaining stamina are greatly le,sened by
being kept in constant work, or his wind and
action are almost irreparably injured by
the jumping Off tactics pursued at home to
hit him for the T. Y. c. starting post In
this process of catching his wind his
breathing becomes forced, which is the real
predlsposng cause Of that generally
ruinous malady, roaring which, as
n singular fact, has increased
almost contemporaneously and corre-
spondingly with the number of short
or flying contests and certainly has been
almost solely identified with the competitors
in that class of races. The first case OF
roaring came across myself was that Of
the famous Humphrey Clinker in Ireland
where my early experiences OF the turf were
obtained, and since that time, when roarcrs
were few and far between, have observed
the progress Of the affection. and were it
necessary could here adduce many examples
toward proving it not hereditary and with
results leading TO conclusions as above
stated. 1t is hardly necessary, after all, to
reckon the average of two-year- olds that
break down annually as the result of two or
three severe contests only, to see that when
the delicate physique is set the task of a
dozen or as often happens, a score of hard
run L. y. G. races the strain incurred is
tremendous, and the few that stand the or
deal is shown by the annually decreasing
fields for the great classic races. / am
sure do not overstate the case when | say
the number of youngsters who do not break
down before they have a dozen figures at
tached to their names in the record book are
IN large, and | regret to say, increasing

VERMONT FARMERS AND GROCERS



To the Editor OF the Free Press;
in a recent FREE PRESS are two or three
articles editorial, communicated, and re
ported, upon which desire to offer a few
words of general comment.
II is sometimes amusing. at others ex-
ceedingly annovinI that men not engaged
in farming should know 80 much more about
it in all its economies and details than
farmers themselves. 1t is admitted that
much of the criticism upon farm methods is
well founded. but that does not justify the
wholesale onsaughts which are SO widely
INDUCED in. The fact that Vermont oats
are not Tor sale at the current prices of the
day is creditablc to tho farmers of Vermont.
The oat crop is an exhaustive one. and the
straw after the oats ara threshcd is not u
valuable fodder, and 10 Vermont farmer
who desires to maintain tine condition OF his
farm can afford to raise any more of them
than he can feed with profit. We raise no
better feeding crop than oats. and when the
farmer turns it all into butter. horso-f csh,
wool. or numerous other concentrated mar
kctproducts. which enable him to retain the
waste product to replace the draught upon
mi, soil. il is q profitable crop. but not other
wise.
Your correspondent asks: "Nhat i, our
( land f.r.' Judged in tine lrht of tho
/ widely urevuiliny methods of the past and
TINT Indirectly advocated bv him it is only
that il may Le exhausted Of its plant food.
/ and ..abandoned.n Selling soil products
/ with no corlpensotion TO the soil has brouuht
/ MS TO orr present condition. A merchant
would come to the end of his tether very
T soon if he continued 10 draw checks AGAINST
his baul, account without making any de-
POSTS. But selling hav and grain from the
/ farm has precisely the same effect. 1t
well to call in question the economy Of
/ buviuQ Western beef. But there are two
! sides to that question. The malicious and
I economical use of Western feed. cotton
/ seed meal etc. and their conversion into the
more valuable concentrated products is as
legitimate a mart of the farmers business, as
/ TO hold the plough or swing the scythe. Not
only that il is his most available means of
reyivifyine the waste places and restoring
what has heretofore been taken away. IL is
q deposit TO be checked against. that is all.
II is not we'll TO 90 TO extremes in this mat
fer. but TO argue that a farmer must pro-

HOW 10 GET MORE EGGS.

Il is fact but little known to people who
keep poultry that the first part of hen which
becomes disarranged on the approach of dis
ease, Is the ONarles or ogg producing organs.
Excess of tat, exposure TO wet and cold, poor
condition, shedding feathers, improper food,
want of exercise and lack of Ger tain elements
in the food to develop the cmbrOyO egg, will
all produce the same effect and cause the hens
to stop laying.
1t cannot be laid down as an ''ironclad"
rule, that when hen ceases laying II II Il pos
tive symptom she viii soon be sick; but il
can be stated with the utmost assurance that
something IL wrong or she would not cease
laying for weeks, and often months. The nm
nual egg product per hen, In this country ran
yes from three TO eight dozen each. Now
reason why every hen that lays At all, should
NOT be made TO lay from ten to fifteen dozen
eggs each per year, and continue 30 do so for AT
least I'VE years. We know u parties who got
eggs at that rate in mid-Winter in our cold
climate.
How to get eggs in cold weather interests
every person who keeps hens. Mr.. Charles
Raymond of New Canaan, Conn. writes under
date OF March s. lN't, II had excellent results
from feeding SIiEluDAN'S POWDER to my
eggs in January II; and in February ga
lcoplea round here who have three and four
