The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1890-11-12

WE desire to call careful attention to
a very intelligent article, by Professor
Jordan, of the Maine State College,
upon the Influence of Food upon the
Composition of Milk" which we take
from the Maine Farmer. This sub
ject is one of great Importance to all
dairy farmers, and as there is much
false teaching in regard to it, this ar
ticle is an especially timely one. There
is not better authority in regard to it
than Professor Jordan, who is one of
the most thoroughly practical men con-
nected with agricultural education.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1890-11-12

No man engaged in promoting the
improvement of our agriculture, here
in New England, has been more missed
than Professor j. w. Sanborn, for
merly of the New Hampshire Agricul-
tural college. After serving ably as
professor of agriculture in the Missouri
agricultural college for a number of
years, he has lately accepted the head
ship of the Utah agricultural expert
ment station, at Logan, in that terri
tory. Abundantly provided with funds
under the new grants from the United
States government, we have no doubt
that Professor Sanborn will maintain
his lead as "the most earnest ex-
perimenter in animal nutrition in
America" as he has been justly styled
by Professor Henry. He is man who
knows what is needed in the way of
exact knowledge, and he has the skill
to get at it.

The New Pension Law.

Are you entitled to a pension
under its provisions? Read and
see for yourself.
FRsT.-This act gives pen
sion of from Sc to SO per month
(proportionate to the degree of
disability to every enlisted man
who served three months in the
military or naval service of the
United States during the late Re-
bellion, and who from any cause,
not the result OF vicious
habits, is now disabled, in whole
or in part, from the performance
of manual labor, whether this dis
ability, mental or physical, was
contracted prior to enlistment in
the service or since discharge.
SEcoND.-It gives pension of
SS per month to the dependent
widow of every enlisted man who
served three months. whether the
soldier died from wounds or in
juries, or disease, contracted be-
fore enlistment in the service or
since discharge. 1t also gives
pension of 50 additional for each
child under 16 years of age, and
in case of the widows death, the
whole pension is given to the
minor children.
> T1HRD-It gives a pension of
SO per month to the dependent
mother, father, or brothers and
sisters Of deceased soldier, wheth-
er such soldier died from wounds
or injuries contracted before en-
listment in the service or since
discharge.
It will be seen that the law. in
the case to which it applies, makes
unnecessary any proof Of dlsabili-
ty contracted i'll the service.
My fee for prosecuting claims
under the provisions of ,he new
law will not exceed $40, payable
only ON allowance Of claim.
If you have an application pend
ing or on the rejected files it will
in no way interfere with your max
ing an application under the new
law. Respectfully,
ROBINSON WHITE.

The July St. Nicholas, 1890.

The July st. Nicholas has
several reminders of Revolution
ary days and the GLORIOUS Fourth. =
In "The Baby Prisoner-of- War"
Margaret Forster Owen relates
the cspture and return of u grand
niece of Washington. Whether
the incident is authentic or not,
the story lie amusing and cleverly
told. Fl. A. Ogden has gracefully
illustrated it. Julia G. Il. Dorr
tells in verse of "The Armorer's
Errand," a preliminary to the
storming of Fort Ticonderoga;
Laura E. Richards and Jane Ellis
Joy contribute amusing verse
about the Fourth, and M. M. d.,
in the Jack-in-the.P Pulpit, gives a
side view of the same inspiring
subject.
A most natural and amusing
little story is that by 81. II. Ew-
ing, describing "How Hugh Went
to the Party" which could not
but be true in all respects.
10 reader could fail to find
articles to his taste in Il list OF
features so various in character
and SO excellent in quality.

The July Century.

Perhaps the most striking fea-
ture OF the July Century 10 lt;i the
debate on "Ihe

and Henry George. Mr.. Atkinson
opens the discussion in a paper
on "a Single Tax upon Land ;
Mr.. George replies in "a Single
Tax on Land Values" and there
is rejoinder by Mr.. Atkinson.
Another article that marks this
number of the Century's is "Prl-

thrilling account of the life OF "a
Yankee in Apdersonville," by DR..
4. ii. Mann accompanied by a

Aldens Manifold Cyelopedia.

The appearance of the twentieth
volume of the Manifold Cyclopedia
is of interest not only on account
of the great value of its contents,
but also because it marks the
completion of the first half of this
important work. These twenty
volumes make goodly library.
They are wonderfully comprehen-
sive, clear in their treatment of
topics, and are in remarkably
convenient form for use. The
complete work of forty volumes
will be simply invaluable. The
range of the present volume is
from Infant to Joppa. Among the
large number of topics worthy of
special mention we notice Infants
in Law; Inflammation; Influenza;
lnfusoria; Insects, nearly 8 pages;
Insolvency; Inspiration; Instinct,
Insurance, l6 pages; Inter est, in
Guiding 2 valuable tables Of the
interest laws of the various States;
international Law; Interoceanic
Ship Canal, over four pages; In
teroceanic Ship Railway; Inunda-
tions; Iron, over 20 pages; JAG
guard Loom; Jews, over 81 pages;
Iowa has SPACES; and there is an
interesting sketch Of Johnstown,
Pa, including the terrible disas-
ter of 1889, which is good illus
tration of how close to date a cy-
clopedia can be and needs to be
brought. Among the foreign ma
tions fully treated are Ireland,
Italy, Japan, Java, also the city
Jerusalem. Biographies of many
noted men appear; among them
three Presidents of the United
States--Andrew Jackson, Thomas
Jefferson, and Andrew Johnson.
The extremely low price places
within easy reach of the reading
public this Cyclopedia, which of
all works Of the kind is much the
best adapted to their needs.

quest; sold on easy installments.

as a nation cannot with any GER
tainty yet be told, but if the rural
districts have increased in the
same proportion as the larger ci-
ties, our total population will ex-
ceed sixty millions.

ALEXANDRIA, EGYPT, May lG.
In our last we had finished our
voyage OF nearly the whole length
of the Mediterranean and landed
on the African coast here in tho
land of Joseph and the Pharos,
and strange as it may seem the
first we saw Of the Orient was snow
capped mountains ON the south
Asiatic coast. We came in by the
Island of Rhodes and in sight of
the Turkish provinces of South
ern Asia.
The climate here is not at all
oppressive. So your readers will
know we are not being roasted by
African, solar fires. Yet a sojourn
of three years in the torrid cline
Of Yucatan, Southern Mexico and
Central America has partially ac-
climated US to the heat of Africa.
Thus far we have heard of no
cholera, or coast fever, and as the
Nile valley is now dry, we feel all
will be we'll during our stay in

darkest forbodings as to an ori.
entail tour at this season. They

era wy would be sure to get the
Nile fever which ever follows the
overflow. Then Of course the heat
of june, July and August would
be beyond endurance. Besides a;
this season the hot simooms CON-
ing from the desert make it a
thing to be stunned as a plague.
AS vet such fears have proved
groundless and we anticipate 4

summer rambles in Bible lands.
The language of the country is
Arabic. English is rarely heard,
but French and Spanish will carry
one through nicely. The worship
of the people is Mahomedanism
and mosques are numerous. There
are missions of protestants and
catholics here, but the Turk
Moore, and Arab cling to theil
ancient worship and at the sigma
for evening prayer they faceMecca,
strike tie breast and murmur q
short prayer to Mahomed Ali.
Most of the men wear turbans
and gowns and the Arab women
go masked. No man can look up.

her husband. Camels are used
in all parts as beasts of burden,
and rugs are used in place OF
chairs. The merchant, the tailor
the shoe maker and the grocer
sit on the floor and wait on their
customers. Christians are not al
lowed to enter mosque or tenn.
pie. and when an Arab enters he
must wash face, hands and fee,
and goinwithoutshoes Cleanliness
of person during worship is a part
OF his religion. Foreigners are

we have found lumber of reaI
kind hearted and good people
among the Mahomedans. Educa.
tion is at low standard however
and all the arts, implements and
all kinds of machinery are of the
most primitive pattern.

The vote on the WI 1or works
proposition last week /ie a de-
cided surprise to both 1t. friends
and opponents. It was expected
by all that the proposition would
be voted down by large majority
at the first trial. A change of
thirty-fve votes, however, would
have given the town system of
water-works, and had the PROPOSE
ton been thoroughly understood
this change could have been
easily secured. The vote shows
that the people of Kirksville feel
the need of something of this kind,
and that they are willing to be
taxed for considerable sum to
secure 1t. But they must have q
thorough understanding of what
they are to get before taking the
final and important step of voting
the bonds. Many voted against
the proposition not because they
opposed it, but because they want
cd more time for investigation.
