How 1t Works.

Where is the good sense of a state
which allows its industries to be ham
pered by corporations of its own max
ing? Mr.. Messer says, in the Mirror
and Farmer " A large dealer in farm
wagons and farming implements was
asked why he sent west to Ohio, Indiana
other states for his goods. Why and
couldn't they be made in Vermont as
cheap as in other states? Surely the
hard wood lumber grown here that
would be used in their manufacture is
stronger and better than Ohio or Michi-
gan or Indiana lumber. The answer
was that the local rates of freight from
various points of manufacture in Yer
mont to his place of business were so
much higher than those from distant
states on the same goods that it left a
good margin of profit in favor of west
ern manufactures. Quite an important
industry was started in an inland town
in supplying another town, about fifty
miles distant, with a certain kind of
hard wood lumber for manufacturing
purposes, but this same industry was
soon suppressed because the firm could
get the same kind of lumber, but of in
ferior quality, from Ohio for less
money than the Vermont lumber could
be delivered for, because of the eX-
cessive local rates of freight"

The Way Governor Feeds his Calves.

Governor-elect Northen of Georgia,
the farmers candidate, says, in the
Southern Cultirdt0r: 81 do not find it
necessary to feed calf oftener than
twice each day. | give it about one
quart of its mothers milk at each time
for the first week, increasing the
second week to half gallon, the third
week to three quarts. The third week,
however, one quart of skinned milk is
mixed with two quarts of whole milk
aud warmed. The whole milk is in this
way gradually withdrawn, until the feed
is made entirely of skinned milk and
Cruel. As the whole milk is taken out
cruel made of cOrn-meal is substituted
and put into the milk, boiling hot, so as
to warm up the milk to the proper tenn
perature. OF this mixture the calf will
take about all the daryman can con-
veniently spare. is very necessary
to see that the feed is warm and the
amount is regularly given. After one
month calf will take about gallon at
a feed to advantage. The amount can
be increased as circumstances Justify.
Any man who undertakes the manage
ment of a dairy with the purpose to
raise his calves after the old stvle, al
lowing them to draw the rich milk from
their mothers, will have a deal of un.
necessary annoyance and lose large
share of his profits"

FRANCE is about to wage a vigorous
warfare against the aduteration of
butter. The dairy industry has been
steadily declining under the vast sales of
oleomargarne, and numerous petitions
have been sent to the French ministry
praying for some relief from this fraud
ulent competition.
HORSES are worth about so much TO
keep and wear out; beyond that prices
are fictitious, representing the fancy Of
the buyer or the chances of winning in
races. To take a two-year-Old colt at
two hundred dollars, and fit it to sell for
twice as much, would call for the ex-
penditure of nearly that amount.

Saltpe:er in Butter.

To the question, does it injure but
ter to put sugar and saltpeter in it?"
an expert replied: "Saltpeteris an anti
septic, and serves to prevent decay, but
it is not best to put it into butter. 1t
may do when put in meat, but would
skip butter" SO far, so good; but
what about sugar? 1t should have
been said that sugar is one of the most
unstable compounds known to the
chemist, and is therefore liable to rapid
decomposition in either butter or
cheese, setting its elements free to faint
the product. 1t is the source of the
acid which we have to guard against in
cheese making in getting rid of the
whey before the sugar in it is converted
into acid. In butter, sugar PLAYS a
similar part, producing a sour butter
milk flavor, which soon changes to a
nasty, rotten one. Keep all sugar out

In the great West the liberal land
reservations for school purposes-rap-
idly and enormously advanced in value
by increasing populatiOn-have Sc
cured substantial support for the schools;
and the schools are producing men and
women who know how to value educa-
cation for their children. In New
England it is different. We have been
losing population, and our farm lands
have been decreasing in value. The
result is that there is no such appreca-
ton of the value of practical educa-
ton among our farmers as there should
be. If this were not true would we see
so many school-houses unfit for human
occupancy? Aud would the people
submit in so many cases to school Off
GERS thrusting their own incompetent
relations into the schools as teachers,
merely that they may pay for (not edrn)
their clothing out of the public money?
These things are scandals that hun
dreds of us are ashamed of; but the
hundreds are no match to the thou
sands of the Indifferent majority.

as we have before remarked, like a
mans trying to lift himself over a fence
by his boot-straps. The reaction equals
the action, and the situation is I'M
changed. We might hope something
from benevolent milionaires who have
been poor boys with no educational
advantages. But these wealthy men
are pursued and natterod by the friends
of the literary schools, and their money
generally goes that way. One native
Vermonter, eXiled m Canada, felt the
great necessity, and left his money to
the state for the aid Of her free schools
But of what use has that fund been?
Only to release so much of the school
taxi Not penny has it added to the
efficiency of one school in the state
The situation is as bad as that of our
" agricultural " college. The misuse,
or non-use, of the Huntington fund is
as dishonOring to our state as the Sc
questration of the agricultural fund to
the uses of the University. But what
power can bring a state to justice and
make her perform her duty? We may
look longingly to the general govern
ment to do this, but ii can never be cffcc-
lively done until it is done by the people
of the state through their action at the
polls in choosing those who will reform
these wrongs. If they are not reformed,
and with reasonable prompttude, who
can have the face to deny that Yer
mont is good state to emgrate from?
In this matter of popular education,
outside of the cities and larger villages,
Vermont is very close to the rear of
the whole procession of states.
THE Ne1D England Farmer is so in
telligently edited that we felt unusual
surprise in finding in it an apparently
editorial approval of "poultry food"
as excepting the birds healthy and
stimulating the ovaries." Is it then a
fact that the ordinary food of hens on
the farm-the grain the grass, the in
sects-will not keep fowls healthy,
and is it desirable to "stimuate the
ovaries beyond their natural activity
in a healthy state? Pure air, pure
water and common food in proper
quantity and variety is enough, and
anything more than these is both
costly and needless, and in the end in
furious.

draw the pistol and stop up the entrance
to the den as soon as possible, so as to
confine the smoke. If smoke comes
out of any other openings near by /

chuck seems to make no attempt to es-
cape, and he is soon killed by the poi
sonous gases generated by the burning
powder. This season | fired into nearly
forty burrows aud closed them up, and
not one of them has been dug out

and buried at one operation" A pretty

Plans.

Before the battle of Waterloo, no one
was probably more uneasy than Lord
U~xbridge, who, if Wellington should be
killed, would be called upon to succeed
him in command, and who knew nothing
whatever about the dukes plans.
81 am in a very difficult position" he
said to a friend. eff any accident hap
pens to the duke, 1 shall find myself COM
mander-in-chief. Iwould give anything
in the world to know the dukes projects,
and yet I dare not ask him what I ought
to do"
After some consultation on the subject,
they went together to Wellington and
frankly told him the difficulty in hand.
The duke listened without Impotence,
and at the end of Lord Uxbridge's speech,
he said, calmly: "Who will attack the
first tomorrow, l or Bonaparte:'
~"Bonaparte," replied Lord Uxbridge.
"Well," continued the duke, Bona
parte has not given me any idea of his
projects, and, as my plans will depend
upon his, how can you expect me to tell
you what mine are::'
Lord Uxbridge bowed and made no
reply. The duke rose, and continued,
touching him in a friendly way on the
shoulder:
"There is n thing certain, Uxbridge
that is, that whatever happens, you
and l will do our duty"
lie then shook his hand warmly, and
they separated, Lord Uxbridge no wiser
than before, yet feeling that Wellington
had trusted him exactly as far as his
reticent nature would allow.
Yet the great duke did depend in a
great measure upon the application of
common sense to the needs of the mo-
ment. When he was once asked how he
succeeded in %conquering Napoleon's mar
shals, n after another, he replied:
''They planned their campaigns just
as you might make a splendid set of har-
ness. 1t looks very well and answers
very well until it gets broken, and then
you are done for. Now, I make my
