THE VERMONT CUSTOMS DIsTRICT.-
The report of the supervising special
agent of the treasury department
shows the expense for collecting the
revenue from customs in the district
of Vermont for the year ending June
80, 1891, to have been the smallest
for 10 years past, it being 33 per
cent. less than the average of the
eight previous years. The amount
required to collect d dollar in the dis
trict was only small fraction over
five cents, which compares very fav-
orably with the report at Cristield,
Md, where 81 .10was collected by two
men, whose expense aggregated
S221S.1S, or S31256 for every dol
lar collected. The district of Yer
mont leads all others on the Northern
frontier in the entries made. 1t had
10000, while Chicago had only 49,
900, Detroit Is, 900, Port Huron Ia :
900. New York rather takes the lead
in the number of entries with $780,
600, but she hasn't the honor of be-
ing on the Northern frontier. There
were onle five districts in the United
States that took more entries than
Vermont during the past year, and
Vermont is twelfth in the total
amount of revenues collected. This
district has almost as many entries
as Philadelphia.

THE MOUNTAINS OF THE Moon
Most of the readers of the News AND
CITIZEN know that Stanley saw, meas
ured and attempted to climb those
mountains, almost beneath the equa
tor in Africa, which were snow cap
ped in midsummer, and, on account
of the tropical radiation, were gener-
alIv so thickly enveloped in fog that
they could not be seen at all in fact,
have not been seen to be reported for
ages. Those who have read the book
''In Darkest Africa will see how and
when Stanley discovered the true
source of the Nile and that the noun
tains of the moon with the reservoir
of Lake Albert Edward, account for
it's annual overflow. But you also
know, by the series of maps given in
that book, how the geographical
knowledge of the ages has gained
and lost in waves to the present
time; chiefly lost, however. 1t is in
teresting to note such items as the
following from the careful pen of the
late Rev. n c. Burt, D. D., published
as late as 1868, and written while
ascending the Nile from Cairo, Egypt:
! The italics are ours: "There is no
river in the world like the Nile. How
the sight of its gliding waters pro
vokes speculation. From what land
of rainy deluges does it issue, rolling
its weighty food, unfed by a single
tributary, unaugmented by scarcely
shower; nay, itself creating and
feeding whole countries and king
doms across a wide zone of earth and
still pouring a vast volume into the
sea? No wonder that past geOgra
phies invented equatorial mountains
of the moon, and manifold similar
fictions, in solution of the mysterious
and defiant secrets of the Nile"

Where EirefIies Are Made Useful

Firefies have been put and are even
to this day applied to some curious
uses. In San Domingo and other
West India islands they are employed
for lighting purposes, being confined in
lanterns, both for going about the
country at night and for the illumina-
ton of dwellings. BY attaching one
of them to each foot while travelling in
the darkness they serve as a guide to
the path.
They are also utilized in Cuba and
elsewhere for ornaments, wherewith
the gowns and coifrures of ladies are
adorned on festive occasions. One can
read by the light which few of these
insects give One point that may be
urged in behalf of these fireilies is that
they kill mosquitoes, finding in the lat
ter their favorite prey. Washington

HOME DEVELOPMENT The Home
stead rightly thinks that a study OF
the report of the inspector of finance
of Vermont, iustissued, is instructive,
and says that the depositors in the
State banks and trust companies
show an increase of nearly 1000 IN
number for the year, while the in
crease in savings is more than W.
100000. The recent New Hamp-
shire report told similar story. An
encouraging fact about the Vermont
report is the increased attention paid
to home development. During the
last year many of the savings banks
we're able to hold every dollar of the
surplus within the State, while tor
merly the greater part was sent West
and South. Massachusetts compels
her savings banks to loan their
money within the State.

The amount of air needed by bees va
ries greatly according to circumstances.
When they are excited and full of honey,
as is the case with a working swarm, the
amount of air needed is very great. Ii
they can be kept quiet, very little air
will suffice. In winter bees are in semi
dormant state, and the amount of air
necessary for their maintenance is very
slight. Special ventilation, simply for
the sake of securing fresher or purer air,
seems to be almost unnecessary. The
few beekeepers who plead for special
ventilation do so almost wholly upon
the ground that they can thereby more
readily control the temperature.
If the bee repositories are built suffi
GENTLY underground it does not seem as
though ventilation would be very much
needed for controlling temperature.
When bees settle down into that quies-
cent state essential for successful winter
ing, their need of air is very slight in
deed When their winter nap is ended,
and spring arouses them to activity and
to brood rearing, more air is needed.
1t is then, if ever, that special ventlla-
ton is benefit; but as all that is needed
can be so easily secured by the occasional
opening of doors or windows at night,
if it ever becomes really necessary, it
scarcely seems worth while to go to the
expense of laying subearth pipes.

Farmers, Meeting.

The Board of Agriculture has de-
cided to hold it's Lamoille county
meetingsthis year at Hyde Park on
Wednesday and Thursday, December
3Oand 81. 1t seems to be the general |
impression where these meetings have |
been held that at no time Tor many
years has the Board been composed
of as practical and intelligent farmers
as at present.
OF the new members, Mr.. Sanford
of Stamford makes speciality OF
manures and fertilizers, and how best
to save them and use them SO that the
farm may be kept up with the least
possible outlay for commercial fer
tilizers. He is one of the few farmers
in Vermont, who starting poor has
brought up a family of children, Civ
ing them a good education and at
the same time become comparatively
wealthy by farming, pure and simple,
without going outside of the farm
into any sort of speculation or bust
ness.
Hon. Victor |. Spear of Braintree,
another new member, is one OF those
rare curiosities seldom found in YER
mont or elsewhere He went to Dart
mouth College and after graduating
returned to the old farm again and
with his own hand has worked out an
independence as a practical farmer.
He is a good conversationalist on
almost any topic although of course
his speciality is farming. He Is Wig
orous writer and to him is Vermont
especially indebted for the valuable
advertising which Vermont farms,
Vermont quarries, and Vermont man
ufactures received last year through
what has been known as the Board
of Agriculture Pamphlet on Vermont.
Our farmers will find him good sub
ject to interrogate upon any question
pertaining to their farming interests.
The other members of the Board,
Prof. Cooke, Hon. Fl. w. Vail, Hon.
VIM. Chaplin, and R. c. Smith, Esq,
are so well known to the most of our
readers that any comments upon
them are unnecessary.
The farmers of Lamoille Co. will
certainly fail to observe their own
best interests if they do notcome out
to these meetings. But more than
this, do not let it be said that the
farmers OF Lamoille Co. are a set of
dead metal, sleepy headed fellows who
do not know anything and do not
want to. Turn out, bring your wives,
sons and daughters. Come prepared
to say something Above all, come
prepared to ask questions about any
thing connected with the farm or its
stock which would makeyou better
and more successful farmer to have
intelligent answers to. Show the
Board that our farmers, at least, are
spunky, and as whole entitle our
county to be called "Spunky La
moille."

silace versus Air Dried Fodder.

Director Sanborn, in a bulletin issued
from the Utah station, expresses, as he
did in his bulletins while at the Missouri
station, decided preference for dry fod-
der over ensilage. To the farmers of
Utah he says with confidence that more
lJss IN harvesting and storing food by
tl.o silo system will be involved up to
the feeding point than by the air-drying
system, and this is undoubtedly true of
most of the vast area lying west of the
one hundredth meridian. He further
more thinks it question whether cap
ping shocks of corn fodder until well
dried and then packing them close IN
tight barn will not conserve the fodder
better than the silo III most other sec
tions of the country.
After describing the silo at the Utah
station, Professor Sanborn says: 1.-The silo
will hold eighty tons of fodder, and with
lumber at SlS to $50 per 1000 feet would
cost from 81 to 1925 per ton. This Is
for green food, four-fifths of which Is
water. 1t requires Al tons of green food
to make one of air dried food, and there
fore the silo would cost 50 to so per ton
of dry food held"

How Did the Review Find it Out =?
The Shoe & Leather Review has the
following pleasant note with reference
to Gov. Page. We are inclined to
think its suggestion in the last par
agraph is correct We think the
Governor enjoys his banking, lumber,
real estate, and other interests but we
doubt if there is anything in which he
takes so much real comfort as in his
constantly growing green calf skin
trade. When he has his sleeves rolled
up and his hands thoroughly per-
fumed with that indescribable rich
ness that pertains to a green cali
skin, he seems to be unspeakabiy
happy. He is now closing his 18th
ar in that line of trade. Here is
what the Review says
Governor Carroll S. Page called at the Re-
view office this week, and as usual the talk
was calfskins He says that while he has a
good trade for light skins, heavy ones sell
slow, but as most Of his stock runs light it is
a good market for his trade. Mr.. Page is,
without question, the largest handler of calf
skins in the hair in this country, and there Is
little doubt that he is more p eased with that
fact to-day than he is that he is Governor of
the state of Vermont
