PREPARING A RABBIT.

PREPARING A RABBIT

morrow and will make the second in

The next patient was ayoungster aged
years. 1t was his fifth incubation, and
his mother prepared him first.
He began to cry as soon as his little
stomach was exposed and gradually in
creased his wailings until the doctor re-
marked. with smile, Gle has fine
pair of lungs
When it was all over he said, as he
sobbed, 'Did-nt-I-stand it good
this-time, mammal" Then everybody
laughed.
A young girl was next. She was very
brave all through the operation, only
whimpering once or twice when the
needle was pushed into her white flesh.
When she had been bowed out the
next patient was found to be an elderly
gentleman, who went about things in q
business Like manner, made few re-
marks about the weather, and went on
his way with as much unconcern as if
he'd just dropped in to pay a bill.
The entire operation takes only four
or five minutes, and DR.. Gibier works
very fast.
His last patient the afternoon the
writer called was Mrs Stone, who re-
sides near Jamaica, on Long island, and
VINO was so badly bitten by huge
bloodhound that her life was despaired
of. She was inoculated while reclin-
ing at full length on the surgical chair,

er this before you borrow more money
to buy more land.
The cost OF a farm is not the heav-
lest expense to the beginner. The
outlay for horses. cattle, machinery.
utensils and extra labor for the first
year is often more than the cost Of the
farm.
The value of the corn crop does not
depend upon its grain only. The
leaves and stalks are valuable, and no
portion Of the crop need be lost. AS
a fodder producing plant corn has no
equal.
Pastures should be top dressed occa-
slonally through the summer, and if
divided into small plots of two or three
acres each and fed alternately, they
will afford twice as much food as if all
be run over at once.
Where that evil weed sorrel prevails
it may be killed out by scattering salt
upon it quite freely. The salt does not
hurt the grass or clover, but rather
helps them, while the sorrel is de-
stroyed root and branch.
Keep the sun off the dug potatoes,
but do not store them until dry.
Spread them out under a tree or a
temporary shed. The best place for
potatoes before fire ezing weather is in
an airy outbuilding having a good
roof.
One of the easiest things in the
world is to overhead team when the
wind is shut off by a high hedge.
Every man should be compelled by
law to keep his roadside hedge cut
down to not exceeding four and one
half feet.
The Acme and the disc harrow are
both splendid implements, and much
superior to the old fashioned harrow.
The disc does not work so we'll where
there are roots and stones Hence the
Acme is the more popular on stony or
timber land, while on the western
prairies the disc harrow is almost al
together used.
1t is unwise to put the good and the
Inferior wheat in the same bin. The
mixture will sell for a little more per
bushel than would have the poor alone
and less will be realized that if the
grades were kept separated. The good
does not raise the price of the bad
near so much as the bad depresses the
good. We would make more money if
we assorted more carefully.

stitute, says the n Y. Morning Journal,
and Dr. Paul Gibier smiled pleasantly at
the fearful maiden as she complained to
her mother. .
'The young lady must be brave I
will cure her." remarked the doctor, as
he calmly wiped his instruments to be
ready for the next patient.
Dr.. Gibier is a typical Frenchman,
slightly above the medium height, with
laughing eyes and the face of true
physician. He is kind, gentle, in fact a
man whom the children quickly learn
to love, while their parents place the
utmost confidence in what he does and
says.
The doctor speaks very good English,
but with decided Fren ch accent, which
makes his conversation all the more in
teresting. He is exquisitely polite, good
natured, and often witty. He would be-
come popular anywhere.
The Pasteur institute was opened last
February, since which time over half a
hundred patients have been inoculated
and pronounced cured, or are at present
under treatment and on fair way to re-
covery.
Over 1000 persons have applied for
admission to the institute, but have been
refused, owing to the fact that the
animal which did the biting was not
known to be dead, or because their
wounds were so slight that incubation
was not necessary.
There are always few people stand
ing about gazing up at the windows,
just as though they could see the doctor
at work.

Keeping Guinea Fowls.

A flock of guinea fowls is great
adjunct to the farm. They make the
best sort of watchmen, and never fail
to notify the farmer of night thieves
or poultry stealers. There is profit in
guinea fowls, too, considering the
small amount of care and expense at
tached to keeping them AS a rule
the gulneas prefer to pick up most OF
their living, and they should have
large place over which to range. It
Is necessary to feed them a little
every day, otherwise they will wander
away from the farm and take up their
headquarters elsewhere. They will
not scratch up seeds planted in the
garden, but they do eat great
number of grass seeds and those of I'M
desirable plants. They consume an
enormous amount Of grubs and insects,
hoWever, which is a great point in
their favor. Without any special fat
senlng they become plump and heavy
at the season of the year when games
goes out OF the market They are
generally killed for market between
February and April. They bring fair
prices at this time Of the year, and
often return big profits to the grower.
Selling Early Potatoes.
Farmers who live near railroad
stations, no matter how far from mar
ket, can generally do well by planting
2 few acres of potatoes to sell early.
uhey must be given good care and the
farmer must be ready to market the
crop at the right time. At no time in
ITS growth can potatoes be safely sub
ordlnated to anything else. This with
early potatoes applies to marketing
She crop as well as growing it. A few
days difference in time may make the
potatoes too low priced to bear long
coming to market But at the price
the earliest potatoes always bring they
will bear freightage, and almost ex-
pressage, from any locality within 800
OF 400 miles of the market.
Driving Cows to and From Pasture.
The usefulness of the dog to drive
the COWS to pasture and bring them
home again at night is not praised SO
much as it once was. A dog can run
faster than man or boy, and easier
too That is precisely the reason why
the dog ought not to go on this bust
ness. A decrepit old man hobbling on
crutches would suit the cows gait
much better, especially at night, when
her bag is distended, and every effort

Warm skinned milk, with the addi-
lion of a little ground meal of oats,

bad. And so if the COW is not In perfect

A TIRELESS LETTER-WRlTER.

Did you ever stop to think, says an eX-
change, what tireless letter writer a
good local paper is! Week after week,
reaching into year after year, it goes on,
telling of the marriages, births, deaths
and coming and going of the people of
the town, the business success or failure,
crops, improvements, meetings, revivals,
in fact, events of all kinds. All the grist
comes to the hopper of "a good local paper
Why, to undertake to write Il letter each
week to your absent friend and tell hall
the news your local paper gives, you
would soon give up in despair The sup
posed pleasure becomes tiresome, the

finally quit. Why the difference? Be-
cause it is business People in a live town

learn otherwise,

SIDEWALKS VS.. ELECTRIC LIGHTS.

Editor Register Before it is decided
to adopt electric lights for our village
streets, it may be we'll 10 pause and con-
slider whether the money they will cost
cannot be expended to better advantage.
Taxes have been high enough in all con-
science of late years, and they ought not
to be increased when business is as dull
as at present, unless it is quite certain
that the public welfare will be very
materially promoted thereby.
Street lights serve two purposes First,
to enable drivers of vehicles to avoid each
other and the bitches and to find their
way, and, second, to guide the footsteps
of pedestrians.
The system of lighting in vogue,
though it does not give the town a super
naturally brilliant appearance at night,
meets the first requirement tolerably
well. 1t fails lamentably, however, so
far as the second is >oncerned; and why
Simply because the sidewalks over the
larger portion of the village are so
abominably bad that one must use all his
senses at hYh noon if he would make a
safe passage from one section of the
village to another.
In costs about $500 year to maintain
the present street lights. In order to
satisfy the just demands of the various
portions of the village probably not less
than twenty electric lights will be need
ed These will cost from $1,000 to Sl200
or from $500 to 500 more than is now
paid for lighting. 1t looks to many plain
people as if the differenee-S500t to 500
would in the long run yield better re-
turns if laid out wisely in sidewalks
That amount expended yearly for, say
five years would give Us such walks over
the larger part of the village that the
wayfarer though fool need not founder
in the mud in daylight and the wise could
get on tOlerably well after nightfall, ever
if no more powerful lights than we now
have were furnished. Furthermore, We
should bave the benefit of the money pu
out for walks all day as well as all night
May be after few years of electri,
lights we might feel like the small boy
on the morning of July 5, as if we haC
had lots of glory, with but little left tc
show for it. u.

A SILLY IDEA.

The correspondent of an exchahge
comes out with the proposition TO make
Col. G.. w. Hooker of Brattleboro the
high-license candidate for governor y
more absurd scheme it is hard to lmag-
inc. In the first place, there Is no call
for this kind of candidate. The great
mass of the people of Vermont are con-
tent with the present liquor law, and
are not going to follow Col. Hooker or
anybody else on crusade for high IL
cense. Again, Col. Hooker is too astute
a politician to enter into such plan,
even if he favored high license for
Vermont, which he probably doesn't.
The contest between prohibition and
high license next summer. If there Is
any. will not be carried on in the line
of the governorship; it will be in the
choice of representatives in the several
towns. Here is where the friends ol
the present law will need to get in thell
work. and here is where they may be
worsted, if they are not careful.

Edgar Sanford of West Cornwall, L.
w. Peet of Cornwall f. n. Bissell of
East Shoreham, j. II. Mead of West Rut-
land and Samuel James of Weybridge
were chosen as committee on resolutions.
While this committee deiberated Sec
retary Chapman introduced these resolu-
tions, which were adopted:
Resolved, That those persons or newspapers
who assert the tariff on wool does not affect
the interests of breeders of pure bred sheep
are either ignorant of the facts in relation to
the subject or wilfully mlsrcpresent them
ana such persons or newspapers are not
friends of the sheep breeders or wool growers.
ReSotred That the executive board be in
structed to examine carefully the constitution
OF this association, and il in their judgment
any alterations are needed they shall cause
to be published notice of such alterations on
or before Oct. next as provided tor by the
constitution.
Mr. Chapman was instructed to furnish
the American Wool and Financial Re-
porter Il copy of the first resolution.
The report of the committee on resolu-
tions, which follows, was accepted and
adOpted
The Vermont Merino Sheep. Breeders asso.
clntlon in annual meeting assembled, this
sth day of January, 1890, do most emphatically
enter our protest against the proposition of II
few OF the woolen manufacturers "to place
wool on the free list, and we insist that the
duties thereon shall be adjusted and main
tanned so as to furnish full and adequate pro-
lection to that industry throughout the United
states" and also ask Congress to so frame our
tariff laws as to provide ample and adequate
protection to all manufacturers of honest
woolen fabrics within our IN country, and
at the same time so as to prevent fraudulent
practices to evade duties and discourage the
importations of substitutes for WOOL such as
shoddies, cows hair, etc, and especially to
provide against the importation OF clothing
woods at the cheap rate OF duties levied on
carpet woods.
The secretary of this association is in
stIucted to forward n certified copy OF this
memorandum to each of our Senators and
members of Congress from Vermont and also
to the chairman OF the committee of ways
and means OF the House OF Representa- -es.
The expediency of publishing the
fourth volume of the Register of the as
sociation during the current year was
discussed at some length by Secretary
Chapman and Messrs. Bssell, Edgar
Sanford, A. j. Stowe of Weybridge and
Samuel James. 1t was generally agreed
that such publication was not best. and a
motion to publish was unanimously voted
down.
The question of the secretary's salary
next came up for settlement. The sums
of $1,000 and $1,000 were talked about and
the latter adopted, after brief remarks by
Messrs. Bissell and Samuel James.
The association then, at II 20, adjourn

The House will, in the near future, have
a spirited and bitter fight oyer the rules.
Senator ingalls, of Kansas gives notice
that he will shortly try to enlighten
the Senate on the subject of negro out
RACES in the South. His views will be
understood when he gets through.
The theory that the mildness of the
winter is due to the approach of the gulf
stream to this continent is exploded by
the photographer of the navy depart
ment. This explanation of unusually
warm winters has been offered before
now.
Secretary Proctor is beginning to be
spoken of as a candidate for the Pres-
dency in 1892. The business methods he
introduced into the war department have
so facilitated work on pensions that some
of the veterans out of gratitude want to
see MN go up hlSncr'
The st. Johnsbury Republican learns
that Gov. Dillingham; will be candidate
for the Senate to succeed Mr.. Morrill,.
and, in announcing the discovery, gives
reasons why in its opinion he wont do.
However, while Britannia may rule the
wave, st. Johnsbury has not been con-
ceded that position with reference to
Vermont.
Commissioner of Agriculture Valep-
tine is out with fearful and wonderful
map of the State, designed to disclose
to the swarming millions of Europe the
glorious opportunities for acquiring
cheap land which Vermont offers. In
order that the strain on their intellects
NAV not be too hard, the commissioner
has thoughtfully branded with red those
towns where the alleged cheap lands
are to be found. He does not paint
Addison county at all.
"At the conclusion of Mr.. Bissell's
testimony Chairman Mckinley asked if
there was any man present who desired
to add anything to Mr.. Bissell's argu-
ment in favor of free wool. There was
4. no response" So concludes the associ-
ated press report of the hearing in
Washington last week before the ways
and means committee of the House,
which was considering the tariff on
wool. Mr.. Bissell told them about the
sheep business in Australia.

growers agreed upon all the items, he
