"My wife and / both have for many years

Sarsaparila and always with Good Re-

months the humor will show itself slightly
and then we will take little more of
Hoods Sarsaparlla. Last spring my wife
concluded she would try a new sarsaparila
that was being advertised, but soon gave it
up and returned to Hoods, being satisfied
that no other could equal, let alone
surpass it. For the past few months l have
been following your suggestion of taking it

Editorial NOtings.

THE American Dairyman asks:
4" What proliteth it if the chemist tell
us there are five pounds of butter in
one hundred pounds of milk if the
churn can get only four pounds out of
it?" We should say it would depend
mainly on the man who received the in
formation. A bright one would try to
improve his methods 50 as to get part,
at least, of that other pound. 1t is
rather late in the century to sheer at
chemistry, or chemists, and it is apt to
cost the sneerer something, which is
more to the point.

OUR dairy farmers are beyond ques
ton as good judges of the merits OF
dairy stock as any in the world; and
the average yield of butter per co is
greater in Vermont than in any other
state or province on the continent.
They have tried everything. Dutch,
Devon, Durham, Ayrshire, jersey
these have all been tested in every
county, and almost every town, in the
state. They have been exhibited at all
our fairs; their friends have had the ear
of every farmer at agricultural meetings
without count; and their minds are
made up that the Vermont Jerseys,
either pure bred or graded on the old
stock, are the cows for them. But they
are always open to conviction, and
ready to try anything that promises
well. No farmers are more ready to
adopt improvements, or show better
judgment in regard to claims made fol
such, than the men who run our dairy
farms.

BUT why, in dairy state like Yer
mont, did this breed of cows, imported
by famous Vermonter, we'll adver-
tised, and carefully bred for over
seventy years, fail of popularity, even
as against the common cows of the
state? Simply because they were not
their equals for the dairy. The rapid
ity with which the despised Jerseys
spread over Vermont, as soon as they
became known, was plain proof that
this must have been the only reason, -
and not the stupidity of the earlier
dairymen, as charged by some. If Yer
monters do not know what side their
bread is buttered on, and what kind of
butter is on it, we don't believe Massa-
chusetts Spectator like Mr.. Chenery
could add to their stock of knowledge

THIS view Of the subject extends
even to the officers of the law. A sher-
iff, or states attorney, who will dis
play lively activity in seeking for and
falling other classes of thieves will,
(rather shameiacedly, we admit,) turn
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1891-12-16
to an orchardist with the remark that it
is too bad, but they don't see any way
in which they can help him.

In our own particular case we find
some compensltions in the fact that,
while we grow so much fruit of various
kinds that the thieves do not toll it
much beyond ten per cent, they com
nit such havoc in the gardens of private
growers that these have to come to us
for supplies. Tnis advances the price of
fruit in most villages more than ten per
cent, and so we recoup ourselves of the
loss, though not for the annoyance, es-
pecial!y in trying new varities, the first
fruits on the young trees of which are
SO handy and often so handsome that
we generally have to wait until some
branches grow beyond arms reach, be-
fore we can get any mature specimens.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1891-12-16

AS an extensive orchardist and fruit
grower, we have shared with others in
these losses. With lumber mill and
yard, and railroad yard on one side,
employing some 200 hands, and trot.
ting park on another side, to which is
added two populous villages within a
miles circuit, we are very favorably
situated to receive night, day and Sun
day company which can see no harm
in "taking," (they object strongly to
the word steallng,"D few apples,
grapes, and berries, or in " accidentally"
breaking down limbs, tramping over
strawberry beds, and similar humor-
osities. These are matters of laughter
for otherwise very respectable people.
Ungathered fruit in gardens and or
chards is not considered by the gem
eral public as property in the sense
in which the word is ordinarily used.
We made a gentleman quite indignant,
not long since, by CHASING apple steal
ers with chicken and clothes-line
thieves. "To take little fruit just to
eat" is not stealing" so far as the
popular mind regards things, even if il
is done at night, and on Sundays
That when done upon this pretext
alone il may cause the victim the loss
of hundred dollars in season makes
no difference.

SPECULATION in fancy live stock
seems to be pretty nearly at an end, all
over the country. The Stockman and
Farmer speaks of noted importer and
breeder of thorou ghbred cattle who, at
the time cattle began to decline, had in
his possession at least 100000 worth
of stock, "valued at figures at which it
would then readily SELL" He also said
that he had given away his entire herd
five years ago he would have been bet
ter off.

THE subject of fruit thieves is one of
no little importance, yet small attention
is given to it by the officers of the law.
The damage is considerable to orchard
lists and small-fruit growers, but proper
tionally it is vastly more aggravating to
the private gardener, who often suffers
entile spoliation, not unfrequently at
tended by the serious injury of valu-
able trees and vines.

NOTHING is said about the breed of
cattle in this case, and perhaps it would
be wrong to guess that it was probably
the misnamed Dutch cattle which have
had such wild boom among those
fancy farmers who get their agricultural
education from journals which never
express an adverse opinion against the
breeds which are literally advertised in
their columns. 1t is true that agricul-
tural writers and farmers elsewhere
have not had the advantage which Yer
mont dairymen have enjoyed for almost
a century from knowing the old Jarvis
importation. Before Chenery brought
to our shores in the same ship his
" Hostein herd, and pleuro-pneuno-
mia to devastate his neighbors' farms,
we were well acquainted with several
herds of the Jarvis stock, and we do not
hesitate to say that they were, for the
dairy, far better than any of the same
breed which have since come to Amer
lea. In the time between this Jarvis
importation. early in this century, until
the Chenery importation in 1864, many
farmers had their attention drawn to
these Ouch cattle; but they did not be-
come popular, although the breed was
kept pure, and pains taken to give IL ITO
riety to their merits. The fact was, and
is, that the milk of these Dutch COWS is
poorer in butter than that of the aver
age old.fashioned mongrel Yankee COW,
and also more difficult to churn.

Mr.. LYMAN adds, with sterling good
sense, that can agricultural college
must be very different from an English
high school or common academy. The
idea is not to give the students good
English education and let them get
their profession afterwards, but to give
them a good education and their pro-
fession at the college, These two must
be given together" This is the prob
lem; but so far the agricultural col
leges, with few if any exceptions, have
not solved it, nor even faced it fairly.
Yet General Armstrong has shown its
complete practicability at Hampton.
Say this TO an average agricultural col
lege magnate and he will be apt to re-
tort, "We are not proposing to keep a
niger school" We heard a farmer
lamenting, not long ago, that boy had
TO be sent to the Reform School in Or
der to get an education worth anything
in Vermont. Really, it is pity that
niggers and bad white boys should
be exclusively favored in this matter.
