Mr. President The Fifty first congress has
for the most part, fulfilled the pledges il made
dent Harrison and the republican majority in
the house was elected. No congress can he
found more faithful to party promises and pur.
poses and the interests OF the people than the
one which closed it's work on the 18th of March
last. The platform OF 1883 has been Singuiarly
kept, and its promises performed. In one nota-
BILE instance the congress failed to execute the
mandate OF our party creed 1t did not pass
the elections bill to secure fair elections
throughout the country. This is 10 be regretted
and deplored. The responsibility Of failure,
however. is not with the house OF representa-
tives, nor with the great body of republicans in
the senate. nor with the president, who ex-
hibited all through its discussion the highest
concern for its passage IT lacked few votes
to make It a law. Its ultimate enactment
into law or something better to secure the same
end can be only question OF time The

part Of the constitution must be sacred and
commanding as any other part. Honest cleo.
tons must prevail or free government is a fail
ure and the constitution itself lie. We must
not and will not turn our backs upon the weak
and helpless Of our citizens The constitution
Is made for chem and is their security. and
nothing short OF free elections and an honest
count will satisfy justice or law or constitution
or righteousness. We have duty in this behalf
which must be performed We must not shirk

commerce. The latter is all well enough and

fountains Of power are filled with poison and
the lawful citizen IS deprived OF voice and vote.
and this nation must meet and perform its
supreme duty and that supreme duty is to do
justice to our fellow men ard give force to the
great fundamental guarantees OF the constitu
ton. What will your verdict be on the work OF
the Fifty first congress: The country must
pass upon it: il is before the people Shall it
be enforced. Shall il be overturned: The great
tribunal of the people must make answer.

Water in Butter.

The question of the percentage of
water in butter is coming to be an i'm
portant one. 1t is impracticable, of
course, to eliminate all the water from
butter. There must a percentage re-
main, as with our bread, and the wheat
and the flour from which it is made, all
of which contain water. But we have
seen different samples of butter at the
same fair, and prize samples they were,
some of which contained twenty per
cent of water, and others only eight
per cent. The one was porous and
soft, and of course could neither keep
nor spend" 1t would not " spend p"
for the reason that water, while in
pounds weight it is sold for butter, yet
in table use it is water still, and cannot
be made substitute for butter. 1t
will not keep for the reason of its
porous condition. The other was as
compact as marble, and in the best
possible shape to shut out all of atmos-
pheric influences through which the APP
proaches of change in the product are
made, and would keep for any reason
able time.-Mdine Farmer.

Notes by the Way.

ONE of the most serious faults in a
hired man is that of abusing horses, and
yet one which many of them are guilty
of. Any man who cannot use team
without abusing it should be promptly
discharged.
If the farmers want to help the labor
ing classes of the cities, they can best
do it by devising some system by which
they can bring to them their farm
produce, without so much intermediate
taxation by the middlemen. A system
of trade making this possible would
benefit the farmer equally with the town
man; but the farmers don't make the
efforts needed to secure it.
WHATEVER stock is kept should be
kept in such condition that it will con-
tinually enhance in value by growth
and improvement. This is obviously so
of young stock, beef animals and other
lines. Good farming and system of
stock husbandry, intelligently carried
on, requires hard work and thought,
with persistent and careful attention to
details in feeding and care.
A VERY important feature to the
dairyman is the comfort of his COWS in
the stable, for upon this to a great de-
gree depends the measure of profits
from this business. Their comfort
should be considered first, freedom of
movement of head and neck, ample
standing-room, and plenty of space to
lie down, a clean, dry bed, and the ami
mails themselves kept free from dirt and
filth.
THE old adage that tan animal well
wintered is half summered " has more
force than at first appears. An animal
poorly wintered, and suffered to run
down low in flesh and turned out to
pasture in May, "spring poor" to use
an old-fashioned term--an expressive
one, all the same-will take half the
summer to recruit, and by the middle
of July will be in no better condition
than it ought to be, with proper care,
when turned to grass in May.

cal-like wheat and -four. The yield of
gold and silver has no fixed ratio, the
one to the other, and value is governed
by demand and supply.
BUT if we use both metals for our
money basis, and their relative value is
fluctuating, one must be taken as a
standard to which the other must be
made to conform. AS to decision upon
the standard metal, we should prefer
silver, as the most widely employed, and
the least available or comfortable for
speculative ends. But no one nation is
yet strong enough to decide this. At
present England, as the strongest COM
mercial nation, has the call. Twenty
years hence it is probable that the
United States will be able to control the
worlds financial basis. Meantime, for
various reasons, silver is down, or gold
is up, and nobody can prove to the gen.
eral satisfaction which. We believe
that there is no real depreciation of
silver-that the change is caused by an
enhancement of gold; but we cannot
prove it, nor can any one prove the
contrary.
AND now what? Silver, under the
present relations between the two
money metals is deprecated as bullion.
AS legal tender money, both are on an
equality in America, simply by the
guarantee of our government-that is,
of the tax-paying people. Now we in
sist that as the taxpayers guarantee the
monetary equality of the seemingly de-
preciated silver with its sister metal,
and must make good the difference to
all holders of coin, the American peo-
ple-the American government-and
not the oWnerS Of Silver bullion-are en-
titled to whatever gain now accrues
from the transmutation of silver bullion
into silver money. The people have
got to run the risk, and the people-not
the silver miners and holders-should
have the gain, if there ever is any. Let
the nation buy What silver is needed-all
there is mined in this country, if so
much is required to prevent injurious
speculation-at its market price, and
issue it, or paper representing it, to the
people, according to their business
needs.
OF course we may have an imitation
of metallic money relatively to business
needs; but it is far from being as easy
thing as an initiation of irredeemable
paper; and there is always large value,
even if though it be somewhat indie
terminate, in the metal itself. History
does not record any very great mutations
ofspecie, and no marked ill-effects there
from. But the Homestead, in favoring
free coinage, is doing all it can to rob
the people for the benefit of the silver
"bugs "-who are just as greedy, and
just as willing to rob us, as the 81 gold
bugs They are both "big bugs"
and need close watching-if not paris
greening-by the producers of this
country.
WE are glad to have so solid and con-
sentative thinker on farm affairs as

WE may be pardoned for citing our
own case as an illustration. If we
could do as well as Brother Cheever
has done, we could keep 100 cows on
the new farm which we are now de-
veloping. But we should greatly prefer
to raise lambs, if it were safe to risk it,.
We are surrounded by growing villages
in which dogs abound, and even our
dairying farmers keep dogs which run
at large, and are liable to ravage the
hocks of their neighbors. Conse-
quently we are forced into dairying,
because it is safer business. We may
never reach half way up to Brother
Cheever's high position, when he
carried twenty-five cows to twenty-five
acres, nor to the high prices which he
commanded for their product. But
whatever butter we do make will GER
tainly go into the market in COMPETE
ton with that of other butter-makers-
unless we fail to make butter that will
equal cleo. Cannot you see, dear
dairying reader, that you are inter-
ested in this dog question-not on our
account, perhaps, but certainly on ac-
count of hundreds of men now making
butter who would prefer to be shep-
herds?

owners to give the sheep fair chance.
We have not word to say against the
keeping of dogs by any who are able
or willing to feed them. Dogs have
their uses, as have other domestic ami
mails; but, like other domestic animals,
they should be kept under reasonable
restraint. We cannot let our cattle,
sheep or hogs, or even our chickens, run
at large over our neighbours premises,
if he objects. Then why should his dog
be allowed to roam at will over ours?"
Mr.. CHEEvER adds force to his ar
gument by relating an illustrative ex-
perience that is often repeated in New
England, as follows: eve are re-
minded anew of the damage dogs
are doing to the wool and mutton in
dustry of New England by the expert
ence of farmer, who three years ago,
purchased a fine lot of sheep. All
went well till his number had in
creased from the small beginning to
goodly-sized flock, such as one could
rightfully feel proud of. Then some
miserable night-walker of a cur made
a raid, killing several, wounding others,
and rendering the whole flock prac-
tically worthless. This experience is
not his alone, but is the experience of
the large majority of those who, seeing
the need of encouraging sheep hus-
handry in New England, have given the
business a trial"

Editorial NOtings.

THE Ne,O England Homestead seems
incapable of recognizing the distinction
between bi-metalism and the free coin
age of silver. We are a strong bi-met-
alst, as our readers now,-because
we are convinced that there is not gold
enough in the world to constitute an
adequate specie basis, or prevent dan
gerous fluctuation of prices, to the in
jury of all the producing classes, the
farmers particularly. But there is no
power on earth that can maintain an
exact ratio of value between the two
money metals. History shows that
there never has been, and reason
teaches that there never can be, any
such fixed ratio between any two COM
modities that are not practically identi-
cal-like wheat and -four. The yield of
gold and silver has no fixed ratio, the
one to the other, and value is governed
by demand and supply.

THE most unfortunate thing about
the matter, here in Vermont, is the
apparently selfish Indifference existing
among our dairy farmers who do not
keep sheep. We have tried long in
vain to arouse their interest in the
matter. They constitute the most infu-
entail portion of our farmers, and their
gain would appear to be to so diversity
our farming as to lessen the excess
i've output of butter which is 80 often
disastrous to prices. Hundreds of our
farmers would abandon dairying for
sheep, if all their fellow-farmers would
heartily unite to abolish the dog nui-
sance. We believe that dogs are far
more injurious in this way to the dairy
interest than the oleo-makers.

A FOOD has no absolute value; its
value depends upon its combination
with other foods in ration. To ex-
plain: Corn meal is very rich in starch
and oil, while wheat bran is compare
lively rich in albuminoids; so that
when you compare one food with
another you must suppose that each is
used in a well-balanced ration.

THE idea that feeding this or that
drug or nostrum will increase the abil-
ity of horse to get foals is nonsense.
Anything that adds TO the health,
strength and vigor of a horse will in
crease his virility or sexual power
simply because the sexual organs will
partake of the general tone of the
system

WE are glad TO have so solid and con-
servative thinker on farm affairs as
Brother Cheever, of the Ne,D England
Farmer, in agreement with us upon
the dog question. Writers on the other
side continually testify to the weakness
of their cause by such statements as
this: If some writers for agricultural
and other papers may be believed, they
would Danish by law every dog on the
face of the earth" Now we think no
writer on the subject has been more
radical than we, and our ultimatum has
never extended further than that no
dogs large enough to injure sheep should
be allowed to leave their owners
grounds. Farmers are punished by
Zines If their cattle trespass upon
others. Why should carniverous ami
NAL have less restraint? Will any dog
lover answer this? The question never
has been met, to our knowledge. Their
campaign is mostly one of sentiment,
not of justice. They seem afraid of
that.
BUT to return to Brother Cheever.
In recent issue of his paper he says:
"The falling off in sheep and wool
growing is not because of high tariffs
or low tariffs, nor of competition with
distant countries alone, though these
may have caused great fluctuations in
prices; but it is because there is not
room enough in New England for both
sheep and sheep-killing dogs, and be-
cause the farmers have not combined
and worked together, as their interests
would justify them, in compelling dog.
