Two Foolish Cows.

One day Jersey heifer,
Walking through pasture small,
Met Shorthorn COW feeding
Where the grass grew sweet ard tall.
Bright and pretty was the Jersey,
Long her pedigree and neat;
Fat and awkward was the Shorthorn,
Like a mountain built of meat.
And the Shorthorn stopped her feeding
AS the Jersey wandered near
Here is grass" she said, "in plenty
Let us eat together here"
But the Jersey tossed her nose up
Iu the most provoking way,
And she said, al thank you kindly,
But think 1 will not stay
1 am higher bred than you, marin,
And I think you will agree
should lose my social standing
In your low society"
Then the Shorthorn snorted fiercely,
For her pride was deeply hurt;
And she said, A right good radiance,
When you go, you little flirt
" 1t is true your golden butter
Is pretty thing to see
But what else, Miss, are you good for?
There is nothing, I'll agree
" For men cannot live on butter
They would quickly come to grief
If fat ladies', such as / am,
Didn't keep them up with beef"
So the Shorthorn and the Jersey
Stood and argued loud and long.
Each one tried to prove the other
Was entirely in the wrong,
Till at last they fell to fighting,
And the Jerseys unbelief
Fell away before the pushing
OF the Shorthorns solid beef.
And she limped away in silence,
Feeling very mean and small,
While the Shorthorn was so angry
That she could not eat at all.
You will say, "What foolish creatures
So they are-but tell me, pray,
Can we not find human beings
Who are just such fools to-day?

WE must be allowed to say, in reply
to this friend, that we are rather doubt
full whether during heated presiden-
tial canvass is the best time to discuss in
a non-political way any question which
is a pending issue, liable to arouse
controversy. There can be no question
that men of very high ability take an
tagonistic positions in this matter. 1t
is also pretty certain that before the
public few of them utter their whole
minds while engaged in discussing sci
entific questions which are for the time
political issues.

GAN OLD FRIEND " of this Depart
ment of the paper, (who also styles
himself "an admirer of the way in
which it is conducted'O, asks us why,
at this time, we do not give expression
to our ideas as a protectionist demo.

republican," and wants to see chow
we differ, and wherein we agree on

IN conversing, from time to time,
with friends who hold to either one
side or the other of this mooted ques-
ton, we find almost none who take a
full-eyed and frank view of the great
fact that the United States constitute,
on this continent, grand free-trade
league; substantially such as would
exist in Europe if the nations of that
continent should entirely abolish their
antagonistic tariff laws-for tariff is
commercial war. If our two neighbor-
ing peoples, north and south-Canada
and Mexico-should by commercial
treaties combine with the United States,
trade would be entirely free on this
continent. There would be no "shackles
on trade " in North America.

IT does not seem to us that this is, or
can be made, a matter of party politics.
The abuse originated very early in the
history of this department. at least
twenty-five years ago-and is kept up
solely by members of congress without
regard to party. 1t is a cheap way of
" complimenting the farmers - or
rather some of them, for there is not
nearly enough of the pork to go around
and the fact lies with the whole
body of congressman, regardless of
party. All intelligent farmers under
stand this, and they know, too, that il
is one of the innumerable ways in which
the public money is misapplied and
wasted. Why should one farmer in
twenty be furnished with common gar
den and farm seeds in this way, instead
of careful distribution of novelties of
supposed merit in an impartial and in
telligent manner?
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1892-08-31

Now, as New England farmer, we
are sure that this state of things is not
for the present interest of our agricul-
tural class. If New England were an
independent nation, with its own tariff
laws, and as such a strong protective
tariff were enacted, covering all the
staple crops of our agriculture, who can
doubt that there would be a prompt
and great advance in the value of New
England farms? Not only that, but
the improved market would put high
premium on improved farming. No
man, with this great market assured TO
him at his own door, could fail to see
that he should take advantage of it to
the full extent of his ability.

are democratic protectionist If
not, we can give some more.

G.. w. SANDERS, Montpelier, writes
to us in praise of new style of cream
cry, with steel tank and glass cans,
which he thinks is an Improvement
over wood and tin. We hope the manu-
facturers of this creamery will give our
readers some account of it in our adver-
Using columns. Mr.. Sanders seems to
agree with us in thinking that the
creamery may still possess advantages
over the separator, at least on many
farms. Our correspondent adds that
the farming and dairying community
are anxious to know more about the
merits of the cream separator, and the
best way to handle milk; and will scan
these columns for information thereon.
They are open to all who can add to
the stock of general knowledge on this,
as on every other agricultural and hor-
ticultural question, and we will give
such information hearty welcome.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1892-08-31

THE following question is offered for
solution by Mr.. Sanders: elbow can
we prepare the butter-worker so that
the butter will not stick to it? Our
better half says: Scald it thor
oughly in boiling water for ten minutes
then plunge it in cold water until it is
thoroughly chilled" Does any reader
know a better way?
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1892-08-31

The queer thing which would i'm
mediately become apparent would be
that our commercial and manufacturing
classes would at once cry aloud for free
trade, as they did more than half a CEN
fury ago in England. The idea of pro-
tecting mere ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, in
fact-would appear to them as the most
preposterous of all economic fallacies.
Protection for "infant industries !"
could not be made so elastic as to be
spread out and cover the Oldest of all
industries. 1t is very sad thing to
have to confess that in no possible
sense of the word can farming claim
governmental protection on this ground.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1892-08-31

Mr.. SANDERS says he has used tin
can creamery nearly four years, and at
the end of that time the cans were all
rusted out, the tank leaked, aud the
flooring under it moulded and became
offensive. The faucet tubes rusted
through, and the whole thing became a
nuisance. Is this general experience
and is there no way of avoiding these
evils? Let us hear from our readers on
this subject.

WE have taken pains to gather, from
men who know, the facts more in detail
in reference to the absurd seed distri-
buttons sent out by congressman in
such an unintelligent, wasteful and in
furious manner as has been noted in
these columns. We are informed that
the committee on agriculture of the
present house of representatives took
$50 900 from the appropriations to the
chronological, Botanical, and some
other scientific divisions, in the bill as
drafted, and added this sum to the
seed-distribution fund, thus increasing
the latter from 100000 to 100000.
We sought and received this informs-
ton through republican friend, who
is in position to get at the facts, and
have no doubt as to the truth of his
statement. He adds: "Tnis is demo-

NEVERTHELESS, the progress of
events in England has fully justified
every claim of the English protection
lists. The decline of English agricul-
ture is most evident, and the net profit
from English farm land is fast reaching
the vanishing point. Rents have de-
clined, until the proudest noble fam
ilies-even that one allied to royalty
are putting their young men into trade,
as the only way of keeping up their
wealth and position. To fill gaps
caused by the determination, through
vice and dry-rot, of the old nobility,
bankers, brewers and great merchants
are being constantly ennobled. AS for
English agriculture, its position is now
assured-at the tail-end of the national
industries. England is fed by Amer
lea, and clothed, so far as the farming
interest is concerned, by America and
Australia.
Now we are free to admit that there
is no hope, as there is no expectation,
that New England farmers can be in
any way legally protected against the
agricultural competition of the West.
But they can be protected, and must
be protected, from Canadian COMPETE
ton. Under our present tariff Cana,
dian competitors are being rapidly con-
verified into consumers of our farm pro-
ducts. Instead of freight cars laden
with Canadian farm products, we see
every day trainloads of Canadian men
and women entering New England to
find work in our factories, and thus
becoming consumers of our crops, in.
stead of competitors in our markets
with their own. Why, only yesterday
a Canadian-not French, but English
applied for the charge of our dairy
farm, saying that he had been carrying
on farm in Canada sat the halves, >
where he could get only fifteen cents
for his butter, and nothing for potatoes
horses or cattle. He wanted to get or
to the protected side of the line. Have
we not given reasons enough why W.
