Clubm On.
From Chatter.
Up to very few weeks ago the idea of
men wearing solid black underwear would
have been regarded as preposterous. Ow-
ing to the caprices of swelldoln, however,
there is no telling month ahead just what
may happen, and in the matter of dress
men are just as fantastic and quite as
ephemeral and vain as women possibly can
be.
As a matter of fact, black underwear is
now the rage among lot of young club
men who may be said to set the pace for all
New York and the rest of the country in
extreme fashions. The garments in ques-
tion, which are, of course. of pure silk, in
clude the undershrt, drawers, night-shirt,
half hose, suspenders, garters and sleeve
straps.
There are also black silk neglige shirts for
the sea-shore. The reason given for re-
sorting to black underclothes is that black
brings out the lines of the human figure to
better advantage than any other color.

The Agricultural HOss-TrOt.

TO the Agricultural Editor: - 1t is
plain enough that you do not approve
of horse-racing at agricultural fairs, but
there is vast difference between the
ordinary "horse-trot " and the races
that are given to develop one of Yer
mont's greatest industries and encOur-
age farmers to raise good horses. That
racing can be conducted in an attractive
manner, without the adjunct of pool
selling and gambling, has been well
demonstrated in the exhibitions of the
Vermont Horse breeders' Association
at Rutland, and at several agricultural
fairs in Vermont. | do not mean to
say that all who oppose horse-racing at
fairs are class of dead-beats, but the
dead-beat and the "penny wise >" who
will consume much valuable time hag-
Cling over the price of an admission
ticket, are, with few exceptions, in
favor of elevating(O, as they express it,,
the morals of agricultural fairs. That
fairs are held, and successful ones, too,
where the trotter comes not, | am well
aware, but they are large affairs, held in
populous centers, where there can be
no lack of attendance. There are none
in Vermont, and they could not exist
here. The public want to see trials of
speed, and. if they can not see them
they will give the affair the cold shout
der. Purely agricultural fairs are just
the thing in theory, but fall flat when any
attempt is made to put the theory into
practice in this state. | do not think
there is much " similarity" between
the " dark ways of the stock exchange "
and the races held over any course in
this state. OF course betting may be
INDUCED in. So it may and often is on
the weights of prize oxen, the milking
capacity of dairy cows, etc, but should
these be excluded because of it? Come
over to our next fair, Mr.. Editor. |
shall be glad to show you that it is far
from being an agricultural boss trot -
We will show you the finest exhibit of
horses, cattle and sheep seen at any
fair in Vermont. We offer the largest
premium in the world on Merino sheep
with the single exception of the inter
national fair at Detroit But the fea-
ture that will draw the crowd will be the
racing. Come over, Doctor, and if you
don't care to see some of the world
renowned Morgans beat their own
records, there will be enough else tC
occupy your time quite probably.

Secretary Dyer on " Dead-Beats."

Our comments upon the singular con-
nection which Secretary Dyer of the
Addison County Agricultural Society
claims to have discovered between an
objection to horse gambling and that
peculiar form of moral depravity which
leads men to crawl under the fence,
rather than pay their way into fair
ground in proper manner, have led to
his writing us letter, which we print
elsewhere. Mr.. Dyer still maintains
his theory to be true, as matter of per-
sonal observation; and we may as well
leave him to settle the matter with his
fellow-citizens of Addison county.
AS in our younger days we were a
reporter, and have always been more
or less newspaper man, as well as in
terested in farm matters and live stock
of all kinds, it has been our fortune to
attend a great many horse races, and
to become we'll acquainted with a large
number of horsemen, both East and
West. There are probably many things
in connection with racing about which
Mr.. Dyer would be able to give us in
struction, but not, we believe, about the
moral ideas prevailing amongst horse
gamblers. To have one side denounce
the other after race in the old times,
before it became such common thing
to arrange the whole affair beforehand,
and to see with what sedu lous care

than in the cob, and that corn, like oats,
makes better feed so ground than
otherwise. Farmers who have tried it
find ear-corn fed or ground with the
husks on superior to either shelled
corn or corn-meal, not because of the
value of the husk or cob particularly,
but because they extend or tighten up
the feed. The husk of oats, which GER
tainly can not be considered as having
much value, seems to play an impor-
tant part in feeding-much, perhaps, as
the husk or cob does with the corn.
"SoLUBLE IN WATER. IN othing
in all the writings of our agricultural
chemists has been so delusive and mis-
leading as their continually reiter
statement that phosphate fertilizers
insoluble in water (meaning by this
insoluble in pure water) are of little
value compared with what they style
soluble " and " reverted phosphates.
1t is strange that men of scientific train
ing should 90 on for now twenty years
perpetuating and reprinting, year after
year, so gross a blunder as this, and
one so damaging to the farmers whom
they aim to serve. Nobody knows bet
ter than they that the water of the soil
is not pure water. They know perfectly
well that soil water has much greater
solvent power than pure water, yet they
make no account whatever of that fact.
Having to rely upon these chemists, the
ordinary editor and writer for the press
believe and repeat this delusive and in
furious statement in agricultural jour
nails all over the country. We have re-
ferred to it and combated its palpable
error repeatedly, and we mean to keep
on doing so-alone, if our editorial
brethren so will it--until a wide publ
cation of the truth renders it no longer
necessary, unless we die sooner. Here
is clipping from one of our best ex-
changes which illustrates what we say:
I" The fertility of a soil depends upon
the presence in it of all the elements
necessary for plant growth, in such
form and in such quantities that the
plants can feed upon them. This
means that the plant-food elements
must be found in the soil in such COM
binations as are soluble in wdter and
thus rendered absorbable by the fine
rootlets of the plants"

ECONOMY in all fertilizing materials
is most important to every farmer, and
certainly not less so in the use of high
priced commercial fertilizers. We do
not hesitate to say that after land has
been once brought up to satisfactory
condition very soluble phosphates. are
no longer needed. The less soluble
forms of this fertilizer, as we find it in
ground bone, the softer mineral phos-
pilates, and basic Stag, give fully as
good results at less than one-half the
cost. Why will our stations continue
to foster the injurious fallacy to which
we refer?
FARMERS stand badly in their own
light when they pay two prices for pur-
chased manure. No matter if they can
get it on credit. Is credit for six months
worth from fifty to one hundred per
cent? A half dressing of manure, made
up with moderate dressing of one of
the good plain phosphates mentioned
above, is better for almost every crop
than a full dressing of either. You
may apply each separately to the field
if you like, but the better way by far is
to buy ton or two of fine bone, or
South Carolina floats, and scatter a
handful to each COW and horse on their
manure each day before cleaning the
stable. We will warrant that manure
so treated will be just as effective at the
rate of ten loads to the acre as the
same manure without the phosphate at
twenty loads to the acre. Stable manure
is weaker on the phosphate side than in
nitrogen or potash, and that is the rea-
son why we got such good results from
the phosphates of twenty years ago,
before the Stockbridge fallacies were
propagated. Paying cash, and buying
nothing unnecessary, would save YER
mont farmers lots Of money.

The ssSns erusher at Work.

Newt. Be'ote commenced opera
lions Monday with his new stone
crusher, under contract with the city
to furnish stone for the streets. The
plant is located at his quarry in
South GAINESVILLE, which gives him
a good long, rough haul to town.
The plant consists of l2-horse pow
err engine and an oscillating crhsher
very little machinery about it, but
1t grinds up stone in rush. The
crushing goes on just as fast as one
man can feed in stone weighing from
twenty to forty pounds. The ma
chine brushes 1000 bushels per day
and will keep several wagons busy
hauling. The crushed stone comes
out in all shapes and sizes, much of
1t in fiat scales as large as a mans
hand, great deal in Jumps the size
of hens egg and much of a smaller
size and in dust. A track extends
from the crusher to the quarry by
which the rough stone is delivered
to the crusher by a hand car. The
stone drops from the crusher into
car that holds twenty-five bushels.
This is carried by a rope and pulley
attached to the engine up an in
clined track to the dump, where the
car empties itself into a chute and
the stone passes over a screen intend
ed to separate the small from the
larger stone. The wagons run under
the chute, and by opening a trap
door are loaded in moment or two.
