EUNE NEW YORK MARKETING PACKAGES.

from California. Fig. is a box holding
two baskets which will hold about three
quarts. while Fig 8 illustrates another
four basket package, which is admirably
made, precautions for ventilation having
been taken; the holes are made in the
side of the box as illustrated, and serve
for ventilation through the bottom of
the baskets on the upper tier and over
the tops of the lower tier, the Stats being
narrow and only sufficient in number to
properly balance the baskets. Japanese
persimmons are usually shipped in boxes,
as illustrated in Fig. ., each persimmon
being carefully wrapped in paper and
but one layer placed in a box. Fancy
peaches, both the earlier and the late
ones, are put up in pony" baskets and
two OF them set in a crate, as shown in

berry crate is used for this purpose and
does nicely.

RoYALToN, Vt, Jan. % The sessions
OF the farmers meetings were continued
yesterday. At the afternoon session Fred
Morse, young man of about 81 years of
age, was the first speaker. As the audi
ences of these meetings are largely COM
posed of elderly men, and all discussions
are carried on by men of middle age it is
gratifying to see a young man come forth
and defend and advocate his business as a
farmer.
Mr.. Morse said do not particularly
favor the idea of Swedish immigration. If
there Is any chance for cheap lands in Yer
mont let the native Vermonter have it.
The Swedes may be good enough. We have

SUCCESSFUL FARMING.
No. 6.


j. w. Leland bought the Bigelow farm
one mile south of Perkinsville about IS
years ago. He had some money to begin
with, but run in debt for the larger portion.
The farm then consisted of 125 acres more
or less, which has been increased to over
200 by the purchase of mountain pasture
lands
The farm was considered one of the best
in this region. 1t had at the time of his
purchase large bog meadow south of the
house which was too wet TO be worked
Now large crop of hay is harvested each
year and little is plowed In few years
this land will be the best on the farm
year ago last April f. B. Leland, J.
WIS younger son assumed control and has
operated the farm since. He was lately
married to an estimable lady, and the young
couple have settled down TO their life work
with every indication OF achieving a sue
cess.
The stock is almost entirely cattle and
now numbers 40 head, with three horses,
one or two colts, eight to ~ sheep and sew
eral hogs together with a fine flock of poul-

DIFFERENT WAYS OF SEEDING.

Nathan Parker said: / make practice
of sowing my grass seed with my corn at
the second time of hoeing. Plant my corn
3tx3t. Do not hill it up. Rake in the
seed with hand rake. Sow it when the
corn is from six to Is inches high.
Mr.. Riford said: l sow grass seed about
the first Of August in my corn. The corn
at that time is as tall as it ever will be.
use slanting tooth cultivator; keep the
land level. Think corn will yield about
l23 bushels of ears to the acre. Stock my
corn on the field. 1t does not kill the
seeding.
Mr.. Stowe Of Randolph in answer to
questions said; l seed my fields with corn
at second hoeing; prefer to do it about the
time the corn tassels; use a Planale, Jr.,
cutivator; plant with horse planter;
when | sow grass seed with corn use a Gull
tivator made like a Thomas smoothing har-
row; sow the seed by hand; can SOW it
evenly if l go through every row; use a
mixture Of Timothy, red clover and alsike;
the latter does not do as well on dry lands
as on moist; think by sowing with corn get
better crops of hay than otherwise; always
get two crops the first year after sowing;
think the grass binders the ripening of the
corn somewhat; my corn yields about 100
bushels of ears per acre. think in the two

Mr.. F. Preston of Sharon read a paper
on Devon cattle. He said the first Devons
brought into this country were presented by
the Earl of Leicester to Robert Patterson
Of Maryland. Mr.. Preston gave a very
interesting history of this breed of cattle
from the importation of the first lot to the
present time He said they were very
hardy, easily kept docle made the best of
oxen, and for beef animals were unsur-
passed by any other breeds. They fatten
very easily and make beef that is marbled
and of first quality. New England is we'll
adapted for the rearing of this breed; they
are well adapted to our hill pastures; never
heard of case of abortion in Devon
herd they have very strong characteristics
and transmit them when crossed on other
breeds; calves fatten easily; no trouble to
make calves weigh 200 pounds when five
weeks old. As mixers they are unsur-
passed for quality; the skim milk of the
Devons is the richest of any breed one calf
raised on skim milk at 10 months old
weighed 600 pounds.

BREEDING DAIRY STOCK.

Breeders of dairy stock should learn from
the methods used by horsemen. The breed
er of trotting stock is careful to get trot-
ting blood on both sides So our dairy
men should select their best cows and should
use only such bulls as are known to be from
good milking stock for several generations
back on both sides. The better the dairy
the more care it will require to keep it up
to the standard and the harder it will be to
improve. But we must improve if are to
make farming profitable. This better breed
ing cannot be assured by buying pedi-
greed animal. Many an animal with a
long pedigree, would be expensive as gift
The animal must have been bred and select
ed for at least five generations for whatever
purpose 1t is wanted and the animal itself
must be good as well as its breeding.
The question was asked why it was that
the value of feed as determined by chem-
cal analysis did not always agree with the
result obtained when that feed was given to
the COW. Prof. Cooke replied that in his
opinion the liking of the animal for the
food was an important factor in the results
she would give at the milk pail from this
food, and this was something that could not
be told by chemical analysis.

CAR REED, it appears, is sus-

that the use of Intoxicating liquors is
the producing cause of more crime
than any other half dozen evils COM
bined, yet the people are told no law
can provide an effective remedy for
this great wrong: that all legal
measures heretofore employed have
failed of lasting effect. If it be true
that this prolific source of crime,
wretChedness and misery cannot be
reached by law, it presents sorry
condition of the people of this coun-
try who pride themselves on self gov
eminent and their ability to secure
laws better adapted to the interests
of the people than can be obtained
under any other form Of government:
in short, a government of the people.
like this, it is claimed, is the best in
the world But now that law is
pronounced impotent to prevent an
evil which clearly comes within the
province of Legislative authority,
what can be done? The friends of
temperance are told that the wiser
course is to fall back on "moral SUI
asion;" that this and this only can
secure true reform. Moral suaslOn |
is always in place and has never been

men and women. But will those
who believe one Of the greatest evils |
can be put out of the way by moral
suasion, tell why the same moral
power could not be still more sue
cessfully applied to the lesser evils,
and thereby obviate the necessity of
laws on the statute books for the
of theft and the whole |
catalogue of crimes? Moral suasion
has been against the common use of
during past generations,
and has done much, but it cannot
alone do what is needed. Law is a
power ordained of God for the right
use of man.
South Dakota seems disposed to
test the question whether laws for
the effectual suppression Of the sale
of Intoxicating liquors can be strictly
and for that purpose has
enacted the most stringent laws
which have yet been put on the
statute book of any state. Hereto
fore the chief cause of failure of
laws pertaining to the sale of intoxl-
cants has been the want Of their en-
forCement. South Dakota law max
ers have provided severe penalties of
fine and even Imprisonment of Off
GERS who fail TO do their whole duty
in securing the enforcement of the
law. It will be made 10 appear
whether there is power more po-
tent than law, or whether in this
country the law can be made SUI

All American Congress.


The Congress composed of repre-
sentatives of all the South American
States, together with prominent
States of this country, which has
been holding its deliberations in
Washington, adjourned last week af-
ter a session Of five months. It is
more than a dozen years since the
subject was first agitated of a Con-
gress Of this kind, James G. Blaine
being the first chief original agitator
Of such a plan for the settlement of
national disputes, as contemplated
by the Congress. This Congress did
not accomplish all that was expected
Of it, but it may be regarded one of
the most important national move
ments which has yet been made for
the avoidance of war and the secure
ment of national rights and justice
without resorting to the barbarism Of
blood shedding. 1t is a matter Of
congratulation to the friends Of the
worlds progress for what has been
achieved in the interest Of peace.
That unwieldly mass of humanity
expected to gather in Chicago in
1898, encouraged as it is by millions
of dollars contributed to secure for it
the greatest crowd ever seen collect
ed in this country, and that too
without specific character or purpose
promises no such worlds advantages
as the Peace Congress. 1t will not
be a representative body, having a
constituency from whom it derives
authority for whatever it may attempt
to do having binding force.
The primary purpose for which the
Congress convened and for which
Mr.. Blaine has SO long labored, has
been reached. 1t was to secure a
declaration in favor of settling all
future national difficulties by arbitra-
ton. Such a result has been reached
after five months mature deliberation
by the Congress, and the condition
of affairs which only a few years
AGO involved the South American
States in frequent wars, it is hoped
has passed away and reasonable
methods instead of brutal will here
after prevail in vindiCating the peo-
pies rights. What is still further
gained is that each of the represen-
tatives of the South American States
will address an official note to each
European country, calling attention
to the fact that American nations
have decided in future to adopt the
principle of arbitration in adjusting
national disputes When the nations
of Europe adopt like national pol
icy for the avoidance of war by civ
ilized methods, there may be hope OF
the incoming millennium. The able
bodied men in Europe are pressed
into the standing armies and the
people are heavily taxed to support
war defenses. This condition Of
things cannot much longer last; il
will be learned that national de-
lenses can be securdd by cheaper
and more rational means than by the
machinery of war.
