The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1891-10-28

For THE hardest spots, where the
above named varieties, or some of them,
fail, there is little doubt that Wealthy,
Mcintosh Red, Bethel, McMahon's
White, Scott's Winter, Fameuse, Can
ada Baldwin and any of the Russian
tree fruits would succeed well. Re-
garding the latter, the earlier imported
apples-Red Astrachan, Duchess of
Oldenburgh, Tetofsky and Alexander
can be had of all nurserymen. The
newer varieties are not yet propagated
extensively, as there has not yet been
time to test them and popularize the
best among them. But it is well to
know of them, and look out for them
in the future. Among those likely to
be soon offered by nurserymen are An
tonovka, Longfield, Switzer, Titus and
Zolotoreff. The three first named of
these are late fall and early winter APP
pies; the last two are of about the sea-
son of Duchess-as large, handsome
and productive, and better for eating
fresh. AS soon as we know of the
trees of the later winter Russians be-
ing offered for sale, we hope to inform
our readers. The only nursery in Yer
mont, so far as we are aware, that is
paying much attention to them, is that
of l.. M. Macomber of North Ferris
burgh.

THE work that the young man does
daily while completing his physical
growth determines the structure of all
his organs. If he does no regular,
steady and sufficient work, similar to
that which he is to pursue in mature
life, his bones, his muscles, his tendons
and cartilage s yes, and his brain and
nervous system-will be, and must re-
main forever after, inadequate and insult
ficient to the work he must do in life.
1t is for this reason, in great part, that
so many city and village men who es-
say farming quit it with disgust, after a
brief trial. They become lame and
sore all over, after even few hours of
real hard work. For awhile they think
they will soon become accustomed to
it; but they never do, and never can.
After the body is once built it cannot
be reconstructed.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1891-10-28

1t is a physiological reason; and we do
not hesitate to assert that any youth
proposing to be farmer who passes
his time between the ages of sixteen
and twenty without daily practice in
the manual operations of the farm will,
with the rarest exceptions, never make
a really good and successful farmer.
And we believe it is equally so in the
mechanical trades.

Editorial NOtings.

A CoRINTH, VT, subscriber wants us
to write little more fully on "the best
varieties of apples for eastern Yer
mont" Eastern Vermont extends
from Massachusetts, to the Canada line,
and laterally from the Connecticut val
ley to the top of the Green Mountains.
1t can grow the tender varieties, like
Baldwin, in some parts; only the mod.
erately hardy sorts above White River,
and in the southern hills; and in the
cold north only the iron-clads." 1t
is curious, too, that like condition ex-
lists along our MOI thern line; for about
the same class of tree fruits can be
grown in Grand Isle county as in south
eastern Vermont. In the one case it
is a question of Latitude, and in the
other of altitude. Three or four hun
dred feet up is about equal to sixty
miles north in regard to climate for
orcharding. -
CoRINTH is in the hills west of Brad
AOlu Oh NhO SOhhONOiSuti anu oOueh-
east from Montpelier about twenty
miles. Being Of uneven surface, it is
probable that in some parts of the
town varieties of tree fruits may be sue
cessfully grown that would fail in other
parts. Perhaps there are spots where
as hardy sorts would be required as in
Orleans and Essex counties. The
Baldwin, Rhode Island Greening, King,
Peck's Pleasant and other favorite APP
piles of southern New England would
be likely to fail anywhere in that town;
nut the Northern Spy, Jewett's Red,
Tolman Sweet, Blue Pearmain, Vel
low Bellfower, Bottle Greening, Early
Joe, Sops of Wine and that class of ap-
pies of intermediate hardness, would
probably do well in many places.

Warrington star.l
Probably some of our readers re.
member the beautiful pun Mr.. Evart.
made at . dinner at Delmonico's
some years ago. In al the constella.
ton Of his famous puns this is the
brightest star. The dinner taking
place about Thanksgiving time, Mr.
Evarts, when he arose 10 speak, be
gan in this way:
''Fricnds, you have just been hav.
ing turkey stuffed full of sage; now
present you with sage stuffed full Of
turkey"
1t made no difference what he said
after that; the bes. thing he could
have said would have been nothing
at all.
But it remained for q San Fran
cisco man, who is seeking an office
from the President and who has been
in town some time waiting for il, to
make the best after dinner hit of all.
He was called upon to speak at
banquet recently, and boldly pro-
claimed that he was after an office.
Sand here" he went on, ave
been four mouths waiting and hover.
ing between the certainty of an ap.
point or disappointment"
Tho late S. S. Cox, it will be re-.
membered, was toasted once at
dinner in New York by an admirer
who told him he jokcd too much and
him, in Emerson's Ian.
euage, to "hitch his wagon to star"
He promptly replied that he would
do so and that tn. star should he Sirius.
Another good pun was made by
Washingtonian, who is literary man
and an Irishman. Being twitted
with the fact that Ireland had never
produced such poet as Sco,land's
Bobbie Burns, he said that it was
true, but that she had Little Moore.

The Outlook For 1892.
Portland Oregonian.i
On the issue Of free silver to day
probably the Republican States OF
Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana,
Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakots,
and South Dakota would vote in the
affirmative, while the doubtful States
Of Come cticut, New York and New
Jersey would vote in the negative.
The whole South, with tho possible
exception of Delaware and Maryland,
would vote for free silver, and 60
probably would the doubtful State OF
Indiana. Assuming that the Repub
lican States, save those already ex.
cepted, would vote against free silver,
it is clear that if free silver is the
leading issue in 1892, the contest will
DO exceedingly close. Giving oil the
doubtful States in the North to the
Republicans, free silver would be
beaten, but ii New Jersey and India.
ma should both vote for silver and no
change be- made in the Democratic
States there would be a tie in the
electoral collepe-or 222 votes for
silver against 222 against it. In this
estimate it is assumed that Wyoming
will vote against free silver. II she
should vote for It the Democracy in
1892 would carry the country for free
silver.

The wheat must be made into flour.
Yeast will not raise wheat. The heart of
man must be humbled, broken between
the neither and upper mill stones Of law;
conviction must take place before the
gospel will leaven. There is n divine
adaptation of the gospel to the human
heart and its needs. The yeast is hidden
and works slowly, but the provision is
that the whole shall be leavened. But
the bread, in order to be fit for use, must
be baked. The diamond must be polished,
the marble must be chiseled. The soul
must be placed in the furnace of discipline
and ailliction and work in order to reach
its highest usefulness.

the Catholic Total Abstinence Society at
Carroll Hall last night. The speaker re-
ferred to the fact that last year nearly
