THE REPUBLICAN LEAGUES.
II. s. Peck of This City Talks of the Re-
cent Meeting and What ia Proposed.

L
Hamilton s. Peck, the Vermont member
of the executive committee OF the national
republican league, was seeu yesterday by
representative of the FREE PRESS and in
tie course Of tho conversation about the last
meeting of that body in New York and the
Vermont State league, Mr.. Peck said
Twenty eight States and Territories were
represented at the meeting and number OF
prominent republi cans, presidents of State
leagues, were in attendance. The meeting
was a conference called by President Clark
son to consider the pan of campaign for the
league.
The committeeman present reported the
condition Of the leagues in their States and
Territories. These showed the leagues to
be in hourishing condition. The report
from Ohio was especially interesting. 1t
showed the efficiency or the league in multi
plying the clubs of that 5 ate and the ac-
tivity OF its members IN the late campaign.
Great credit was given the league for tine
magnificent victory of Gov Mckinley. We
held executive sessions and so, course, the
details OF tho business are not matter to be
given publicity at present
The question OF the time and place of
holding the next convention was left to the
subcommittee. We were in session six and
one-half hours the first day aud four tho
next wien an adjournment was taken. 1t
was unanimous opinion Of the committee
that the local league clubs should be multi
pied in number and made as efficient as
possible for campaign work There
were l3l local Clubs organized
in this State in 1883 and 1889.
There is no reason why we should not have
a large, aggressive, stAlwart republican
club IN every town IN tde state. II is prob
able that all the oh clubs will be re-organ-
| ,zed and, With the now uaa s. will send dele
gates to tha S ate convention, which, it is
to DO hoped, will be held on Lincoin's birth
day, February 70, in accordance with re-
solution passed by the National Republican
league executive committee. New State
officers and delegates will be chosen to rep
resent Vermont ut he next natiolel con-
vention which by vote at tho National
league convention in Cincinnati, cannot be
held until after national convention. [ think
this action WAS wise one, IA 1t Is not the
purpose OF Che league to select a standard,
bearer but to hoip elect the nominees OF the
republican party. The next election in thi,
State will be tho second one in the Who'll,
United States, Oregon being ahead, as it
State election is IN June. Every leagu,
republican is therefore interested that thu
State should give ono of Its old-time ma jor
tiles
"What kind Of a campaign will the leagn
mako ?"
at is well known that Gen. Clarkson thor
oughly believes in AN educational campaign
Whenever and wherever national measure
are discussed tho republican party Away
makes gains. Iool; back at Ohio, for IN

if the voters clearly understand the s'tuG

THE FARM.

The farm is admirably adapted for an ex-
perimenta! farm, comprising 80 acres, vary
ing from heavy clay, through gravelly loan
and clay loan to sandy loan. Most OF it
is already in a high state OF cultivation and
the crops taken from it this year have more
than equalled expectations.
THE BARN.
The barn is 4Sxi0j, with % foot posts,
the floor of the COW stable being on level
with the stills and directly over large eel
lar 45xS0. The barn is balloon frame, with
eight-inch studding and eight-inch
rafters. The first floor contains be-
side the COW stable, which can accommo-
date 80 head of stock, tool room 20x40, car
riage room 23x25, horse stall and harness
room 20x25, carriage wash rack, sheep
fold and u model pggery, each 20x2O.
The floor above is the main barn floor
and the hay mows on each side hold about
100 tons of hay. The grain bins hold over
a carload Over the sheep fold aul piggerv,
the tool and carriage rooms are large, seed
and storage rooms. In the northeast
corner of the barn reaching from cellar to
roof are three great silos which will hold
nearly 300 tons of ensilage, and which were
filled to overlooking by the unexpectedly
large yield of the past year.
The walls of the silo are made tight 10y
combining sheathing, air space, building
paper and a second shsathing. The inside
is well painted with asphalt aud coal tar.
Two features Of the barn call for particular
attention, ventilation and watering. The
ventilating shafts pass from manure cellar
to cupalo being ii feet in perpendc ulai
height. There are Is s x 20 inch sha, t,
which open into the root shafts and they
have thus far given satisfaction Zach ha,
openings on each floor and any part of III,
barn can be ventilated at will.
Watering the cattle is done by what i:
known rs the Buckley watering device
Fastened on a post IN front OF the stanchor
between each two cows is IA iron blcke
holding a little over a gallon. They sre al
connected by an iron pipe with water
tank containing ball waive. Any draf

is so small that it is continually being re
placed by fresh water. Barn and creamery

Our correspondent at Whitstable writes:
Since the disappearance of the frost it has
been found that enormous damage has

French and Dutch sorts have suffered
most. and these have almost all been

frost. The result will be very serious on
the oyster trade, although the consumer
will probably suffer most. The oyster
beds are two miles long by one mile wide,
and are laid in different sections, accord

BIG LOCOMOTIVE YEAR.
Never Were the Railway Orders So Big
as During 1890.

1NGtCT were u sthAWaJ CNhGEs So DIX
as During 1890.
The locomotive building by private
firms was considerably more In 1890 than
in 1889. In 1889 sixteen firms built l $50
locomotives. In 1890 fourteen firms built
2,213, and we know that several OF those
who have not yet reported were very
busy through the ear. We may, there
fore, conclude that the years product
has been materially greater than that of
1888, when seventeen firms built :, $50 loco
motives. Eleven of the firms nat have
reported up to date built over eighteen per
cent. more engines in 1890 than in 1889.
All but two OF those firms increased their
output. Inc one of the W is the Grant
Locomotive Works, which have been
practically at a standstill for a good
while. The Baldwin WORKS lead with
947 locomotives, an increase of fourteen
per cent. The Schenectady Works
were the next largest builders, and their
increase in output was over h~fty-three
per cent. The average yearly pTOtuct Of
nineteen firms for eight years. 1SS1.1SSS.
was 1,645 locomotives. IL will De seen
that the product of each of the last three
years has been far above that average.
The net increase in locomotive equip
ment for a number of years ms been. by
PoOr's MaRudI:-1SS5. 1850; 1886. AIS; 1887,
1,22s; 1888, 1855; 1889, 1902. Average,
1924.
Ii will be seen, therefore, that all of the
locomotives built by the railroad COM
panies and a large percentage of the
product of the private works are alb.
sorbed in filling vacant numbers. Owing
to the difficulty of getting full returns
from the railroad shops we are unable
now to estimate what the total product is
and how many engines 90 to replace
those worn out. We hope TO be able to
make such an estimate in a later issue. -
