cobbler sprarue,s rrupa, WIFI

Ten thousand dollars in gold and
greenbacks has been found secreted in
an old table in the residence of John
'oprague, a shoemaker, of Wilmington.
Del. The money represents his deceased
wife's savings for thirty-nine years. On
Jan. q Mrs. Mary Sprague, wife of the
cobbler, dropped dead, victim of heart
disease, in drug store. The couple
came to Wilmington from England thir-
ty-one years ago. The husband is about
sixty years of age, while the wife was
nearly fifty-nine years old when she died.
They were frugal and industrious, and
during their thirty-nine years of married
life the husband weekly gave the wife a
certain sum of money for her use. He
never questioned what she did with the
surplus, but supposed it was regularly
put in bank.
When Mrs. Sprague died search was
made for the handbook supposed to
exist, but to no avail. The house was
ransacked also, but no money was found.
Finally Mrs. Mckinley, neighbor, sug-
gested, as she had had dream to that
effect, that possibly the treasure might
be secreted in an antique table. and this
article of furniture was examined.
Tightly wedged in an inside corner of
the table were found bag of gold and
roll of greenbacks, which, being counted,
amounted to $40, 000.-Cor. Philadelphia

Smut of Oats Prevented,


An experiment, conducted at the Ohio
experiment station and just reported, in
sleeping oats in hot water indicates that
by this method the greater portion of the
loss from the smut of oats may be pre-
vented. The process, briefly stated, is
as follows: Have two vessels, in one of
which water is kept warmed to about
1870 dogs. Fahrenheit, and in the other to
as nearly exactly 1876 dogs. as possible.
Have basket of wire netting, or loose
splint basket covered with cloth. The
water baths must be large enough to ad-
NIT this basket. Fill the basket with
seed grain and immerse it in the cooler
bath, keeping it there and stirring it
around until all the grains are warmed,
then lift it out and plunge it into the hot
bath, where it should remain from eight
to ten minutes, being stirred or agitated
meanwhile. Then remove it and dip it
into cold water, or spread the grain out
and throw cold water over it, after
which dry it sufficiently for sowing.
The effectiveness of this method de-
ponds upon having the water hot enough
to destroy the smut germs which may
be adhering to the outside of the grains
of oats, but not so hot as to destroy the
germ of the oats. Experiment has dem
onstrated that this may be accomplished
by soaking the grain in water of the
temperature indicated. The reason for
using two vessels is that if one vessel
were used the water would be cooled too
much by the cold grain to accomplish
the purpose in view, or, if it We're heated
hot enough to do this, it would be so hot
as 70 destroy the vitality of much of the
grain

Diversity of Industries.
Farmers Advocate:
A healthy symptom of society is
noticeable abroad throughout our
State at the present time in the gen
eral movement to encourage and es-
tablish new and varied industries ac-
cording to the circumstances of the
various localities. Manufacturing,
mining, summer-boarding, village i'm
provements, dairying, sheep-raising
and other enterprises are being fos-
tered by boards of trade and other or
CARNATIONS of citizens and individuals
in way to appear like a general
movement toward a diversity of in
dustries and community of interests
before unknown to Vermont. We
have reason to believe that these are
the signs of the beginning of a new
era of prosperity for the future.
Manufacturing establishments will
create demand and furnish home
market for farm products, and the
prosperity of the farmer will attract
and hold more and better farmers to
their calling. Our State is every way
favorable to manufacturing, and why
not invite and increase manufactures
many fold.
Our mineral resources are rich and
rare, and as yet only touched upon
the surface. "There are millions in
it" for future generations. We have
all the desirable conditions for sum-
mer homes for city people-why may
not Vermont farmers reap their best
crop from that field for the future !!
Vermont farmers already lead in
the quality and quantity of maple SUI
gar and butter, and why not hold the
first rank in prices for their superior
staple products ?-For raising stock
of high grades and pure blood for
mutton, dairying, speed and beauty
why may not Vermonters excel even
themselves heretofore in these lines of
enterprise =?
In word we welcome these symp-
toms about us of revival of interest
in variety of industries that promise
general business prosperity to our
State. $50 mote it be-"

All Hunk, Thank You!

Secretary Foster in speaking to al
Associated press reporter concerning
financial matters said that, in his o.
pinion, the government would be able
to take care of all its obligations, and
that in addition to the S236, 100000
bonds already retired by this admin
istration, it would, in his opinion, add
a considerable amount in the two
years that remain. Concerning the
100000, 1000 legal tender redemption
fund in the treasury the secretary said
that he did not expect that any con-
dition of affairs would arise which
would make it necessary for the gov
eminent to touch it. He intimated,
however, that this fund might be used
without legislative action in case of
absolute necessity to prevent any dis
credit to government obligations.

TO THE

1t has accidently come 10
my knowledge that you oc.
casionally make complaints
because of the small sums re-
ceived for your Dairy skins.
The fault is your own, for if
you would take them off and
properly care for them you
would rarely find a skin that
would bring you less than so
cents, and a great many of
them would bring you 60, 70
and even 80 cents each.
Poor skins, like poor butter,
are poor property and bring a
poor price. It will cost you
only a penny for a postal card
on which to send me your adj
dress, to secure full printed
directions as to the proper
method of taking off and caring
for your calf skins. | will very
gladly mail these to you free,
postpaid, if you will send me
your name and so request.
In most of the towns of YER

calities where | have none !

en- farmers club together and
ship their skins in quantities OF

not allow you wholesale prices
in towns where | have a buy

lecting skins taken off in his

of course allow the buyers

Suggestive.

''ln an early day they used to tax
the intellectual and business ability
of men in this State. That is prob
ably the reason SO many of our smart
citizens went away to help build up
other communities. We think ii
would be good plan to revive that
tax, and that the list be taken once
in two years just before the summer
caucuses. The intellects of men are
then at their highest tension. The
property tax could be removed"
There is world of suggestiveness
and unborn possibilities in the above
clipped from the Randolph Herald
Why shouldn't history be made to re-
peat itself in this case And in Or
der that there may be no difficulty in
determining where the brains lie the
SITTER would suggest that a tax be
levied on all candidates for office
graded from governor down to hog
constable, placing the former at
$1,000 and the latter at 81. Could a
scheme of this kind be put in opera
ton there would be no question about
the result. Windham county alone
would furnish the entire revenue
needed by the state leaving the tax
collected from the remaining counties
as an enormous surplus that could be
used in building lake Champlain
bridges in erecting the town of Wood
ford into a national ice house in pur-
chasing an experimental farm for
Col. Hooker and furnishing Astron-
omer Levi X. Fuller with telescope
and a pair of Holstein bulls. The
remainder might be used for common

Fattenin@ Calves,

In raising calves for veal the sooner
the young animals are fatted and suffi-
GENTLY matured for the purpose the more
profit there will be in it. This will be
accomplished by the natural process of
drawing the milk from the mother soon
er than by artificial feeding, and calves
that are allowed to suck their dams will
be preferred by the butcher. AS mat
ter of profit to dairymen the milk will
be of more value than the calf, but to a
farmer who has plenty of milk and a
poor market for it it may be quite differ
ent. In this case it is simply question
Of the best way to fatten the calf. If
nearly all the milk of the COW is re-
quired, then remove the calf as soon as
he has enough and strip the COW clean at
once. Where half of the milk will be
sufficient the first half will be the least
f.ttening, and it will be question for
the owner to decide whether the calf
shall have the first or the last. Itshould,
however. be remembered that there is
nothing to be gained by limiting the
milk ration of a calf that is being fat
tened for veal or in attempting to fatten
him on skim milk.

Two Crops in the Orchard.

Many farmers endeavor to secure two
crops from an orchard-fruit and grass
the result being that the grass robs the
trees, while the trees in turn shade the
grass and draw upon the land for their
share. Some fruit trees, such as the
peach, will perish in single year if
grass covers the ground of the orchard,
and though such is not the case with
apples and pears, yet the lesson from the
condition of the peach tree under such
conditions teaches that grass is at least
drawback. 1t may not be proper to
force the young trees too rapidly at first,
and it is true that an occasional grass
crop plowed in has given beneficial re-
suits, but to keep an orchard as past
ure is to occupy the ground with un-
profitable fruit trees. An orchard should
be kept neatly trimmed, well fertilized
or MANFRED and cultivated thoroughly
at least once year, says the Philadel-
phia Record,
The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1891-05-07

An Ohio woman writing in the New
York World on poultry expressed the
following views:
Where one is keeping poultry with an
eye singly to profit, consider that it is
imperative that only year old hens and
pullets be kept, the older hens being
cleared off every year. These old hens
are by no means worthless, either for
culinary purposes at home or to market.
Housekeepers are glad to get them for
boiling, for fricasse and for soups.
Where eggs only are required, the
very best plan, in my experience, has
been to keep pullets only, but when eggs
and chickens are both required my plan
is to keep half and half of year old hens
and pullets of various ages from Febru-
airy to May. 1t occasionally happens
that it pays to keep really good hen for
as many as three seasons, as she will lay
the eggs to supply you with thriving
young ones as well as fresh eggs for the
table during the late spring and summer.
There appears no reason why, if wom-
en- lend their time to the care of poultry
at all, they should not keep that which
is pure bred. l have found many ad-
vantages and no disadvantages in keep
ing pure birds. l like to see shapely and
beautiful plumaged birds ON my grounds,
to begin with. Then, instead of having
on hand lot of cockerels to kill off for
home consumption, ] can sell them at
fair price to those who desire to infuse
into their focks new blood. The sur
plus hens and pullets are always in de-
mand at good prices. Ifyou are anxious
to advertise your hocks the pure bred
birds make fine show at the state and
county fairs. In regard to cross breeds
l will say here that first-cross birds are
often very valuable egg producers, but
further breeding from the crossed birds
has not been with me successful, as the
best qualities of the two breeds originally
crossed deteriorate and in time disappear.
There are, however, exceptions to this,
as to most other rules.
