AMONG VERMONTS HILLS

ENJOY the AUGUST DAYS.

War Proctor, and Will Have Oppor-

Fisherman.
Bird hill runs from Rutland, VT, north
ward eight miles to Pittsford valley. The
natives call it queer hog back, and six
miles down Otter creek, that up to that
time dawdled quietly along except when
turned over dam for power purposes,
cuts into a rocky gorge that gives it fall
of 100 feet and tears it into streak OF
foam. Here is Proctor, the home of the
secretary of war, and in the very prettiest
place in the whole town is situated his
house, where President Harrison will spend
several days in August, and various cabi-
net members will recreate during the latter
part of the month The house, occupying
by itself hill just fitting in between the
railroad and river, has the most beautiful
site there is for miles around, and by rea-
son of it's solitary position is a striking
feature in the scene. On still higher hill
On the other side of the river is the home
of Fletcher Proctor, the secretary's son,
who, inheriting his fathers shrewd ability,
is associated with him very closely.
The secretary of war is the uncrowned
mountain monarch of Vermont, and if he
doesn't absolutely own the town himself,
the Vermont Marble company does, and
Proctor and his sons are the major portion
of the company. Yet it is queer fact that
he does not own the house in which he
lives. 1t belongs to the marble company

4 Check on Railway Engineers.

Fixing the responsibility" is a great
thing in case of railway accident.
With this idea in view a number Of
American railroads, Says a scientific
journal, are introducing a newly invent
ed instrument 1t consists of a dial
which shows the actual speed the train
is making, in addition to recording this
information on chart for preservation.
In its action it is dependent upon the
power transmitted directly from the
axle, and can readily be adjusted to
compensate for any wear of the wheels
that takes place. This instrument acts
as check upon engineers by accurately
showing the speed of the train at all
parts of the road. Many of the acci-
dents to trains are due to too rapid run
ming on curves and difficult parts of the
road, and this device by its action is in
tended to do away with this evil.

THE HOME OF SECRETARY PROCTOR
In Vermont the secretary of war is best
known as the "Guv' nor" and that is what
he is called by all the men in the quarries.
There is only one thing lacking in Proc
tor. 1t might be said that there are are all
modern Improvements, including tele-
graph, express Office and telephone, but
when the chief executive alights he will be
landed beside the road and find himself in
six inches of white marblelike dust. He
will look in vain for a station. There is
none. But the "Guv'nor's" house is right
at hand, only on the top of a cliff or hill
fully hundred feet high. The approach
from the train is by long fight of stairs.
II is a brown house with side piazza, front
piazza, another side one and then large
entrance piazza leading into the big hall.
Tho secretary and his family go there early
in the spring and leave only at the last call
OF autumn.
Mrs. Proctor is careful housewife and
. thorough homebody, always to be found
In her own kingdom. She has quite enough
room to look after. From the hall on the
right opens large music room with a
couple of pianos. Behind is smaller
room not unlike private Office, and still
farther back is the sleeping room of the
secretary. On tne le1C OF Jne nall is tne re-
ception room and connected with it is the
dining room. On the second floor the plan
il plain enough; plenty of sleeping rooms
and what was formerly the nursery and
school room of the children, which is used
this summer by couple of the secretary's
little granddaughters, who are passing the
summer with their mother at the grand
parents. These two small ladies also come
In for good share of Mrs. Proctor time
and the stately controller of the war forces
OF America is able to assume very meek
attitude at their desire.
The room which President Harrison will
occupy Is at the head of the stairs, directly
over the music room. There is a large cov
cred balcony, and when he looks from the
window it will be on scene that will
probably gladden. his soul. There is hardly
space on the hill for spacious lawns, but
there are some flower beds, and from the
stables is the drive, just wide enough for
one carriage, which skirts the foot of the
hill, twisting about till it is on top at the
door. It becomes natural terrace on the
east, and there it cuts through dark hem
locks that shut together overhead. The hill
and the house are on one side and the river
ON the other. A climb up through the hem
locks and one reaches a frail looking sus-

while above is the dam at the head of the

but rocks and swirling waters that, in the
spring storms, toss their spray over the

proud of his beautiful home, and this bridge
over the falls is one of the points to which
he always takes his visitors Down below

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE number
of cities of the United States having a
population of more than 5000 increased
from six in 1870 to ESQ in 1850, when It
leaped to 46S in 1890. In 1850 there was
but one city-New York-which had 4
population in excess of 1000, 900. In
1890 there were three-New York.

thre were but fourteen cities each con-

In 1850 this number increased to TWEEN.

The north Atlantic division contains
nearly one-half the urban population of
the country, while the north Atlantic
and north central divisions contain
nearly five-sixths of it. In the north

FARM NOTES.

As the weather becomes warmer be
careful not TO crowd the fowls.
Nearly. or quite all of the earlier
garden crops can be planted now, or at
least all that are but readily injured by
late frQsts
Intelligent skill, close observation,
and coed Judgment are quite as impor-
tant to farmers, and pay as we'll for
them, as in any other business.
After the first two or three days it is
important that young poultry should
be provided with good variety of food
in order to maintain healthy growth.
Keep the ground occupied with a
growing crop of some kind. Almost
anything can be made more beneficial
rather than to allow land to grow up in
weeds
If good care is taken to keep the
weeds down and to add fertilizers as
needed land can be kept in grass for
several years with benefit, and in some
localities this is quite an item.
Cornmeal mixed with sweet milk and
hard boiled eggs chopped up fine makes
an excellent ration for young turkeys.
If we'll fed from the start, turkeys
should be ready to market by the time
they are seven months cd.
Geese and ducks can be picked regu-
larly from now until cool weather in
the fall, and if properly managed the
feathers will pay nearly or quite as
we'll as the eggs. This and next month

poultry and the work should be pushed
along as rapidly as possible.
Eight inches deep is about right in
blowing for corn. That is as deep as a
spade will throw up the soil in a gar
den. Every farmer has a second farm
underneath the one he has been plow-
ing three or four inches deep; the low
est one has never seen daylight 1t is
there; turn up the soil and see how il
looks
Sometimes people are afraid that
their trees will not stand exactly in the
same position north and SOUTH as in
the nursery. This is simply within
and not of the least consequence one
way or the other. Take good care to
plant the tree right and if it has life
when planted it will grow. Place the
longer root to the southwest
Sweet potatoes thrive best in a sandy,
loamy soil. and while good stage of
fertility is desirable there is no adj
in having it too rich, as the
plants will make too much growth of
vine. The most economical plan is to
grow the potatoes in ridges They are
less trouble to make and to cultivate
than are separate hills for each plant
With a two-horse pillow the ridges can
be thrown up. and with rake or
prong hoe be properly fined Prepare
the soil in good filth before setting
out the plants, as the plants will make
a better start TO grow and the cultiva-
ton will be easier.

STOCK ITEMS.


Early matured stock are put in the
market at a better profit than those ma
turing slowly.
One Of. the advantages in cutting and
grinding feed is the saving of the waste
by indigestion.
The best pork. as well as the cheap
est Is that made from hogs that are less
than year old.
Handle your heifers every day and
make them gentle; it will save much
trouble when they become fresh.
Kerosene alone is too severe to use on
any kind of stock. Mix at least one
half with water or cotton seed oil.
Good permanent pasture is almost an
absolute necessity in making the breed
ing and feeding Of beef cattle profitable.
Hogs need something else besides
grain rations during the winter, and
when the pastures are covered with
snow a good feed of clover hay should
be given them
Breeders will find it to their interest
to look after the brood sows during far
rowing time this spring, as verything
indicates good prices for fat hogs,
which will enhance the value of all
pure-bred stock.
Much of the so-called hog cholera
that occurs during the fall months may
be traced to the feeding of new corn.
Every farmer knows that when new
corn is fed to the horses it is very apt to
produce collie, and the greatest care is
