FINE ATTRACTION COMING TO THE

Manager Genther has secured the IA
mons McGibeny Family for three nights

HENRY DIXEY ON SATURDAY.
A notable event in amusement circles
will be the revival this week at the
Opera House next Saturday OF Gilbert
& Sullivan's celebrated opera "Pa-
tience." II has not been seen in this
city for a number of years, and on this
occasion will be presented by Mr..
Heary Il. Dixey and his excellent opera
company. Mr.. Henry DiKey, 1t will be
remembered, was the original Ban
thorne when the opera had its first
creation IN America. 1t was given
when the aesthetic craze was at its re-
NTH, and when Oscar Wilde was in the
full lustre OF his sunllower glory. Mr..
Dixey's Interpretation of the part was
a revelation, from the fact that 1t was
as unique as it was novel aud original.
ELSIE DE WOLFE, TO-DAY.
This charming young woman who
graduated from fashionable New York
amateur theatrlcals, and last year APP
Deared in Sardous Hereunder, will be
3 surprise to those who see her this
afternoon aud evening and tomorrow
with the Ramsey Morris Comedy Com
pany. Her role in Joseph is light and
frothy to degree that will enable her
TO exhibit, to their fullest extent, those
qualities which made her pronounced
success in the private theatrlcals of
Yorks social life. Miss de Wolfe never
essayed tragic parts until she tried the
heroine in Sardou's Hereunder, and
with that role she was never thoroughly
in sympathy. Comedy is her forte and
play goers may expect a delightfully."- vi
vacious performance from her in Joseph

WE hope this is entirely correct; but
on reference to the article Agricul-
ture," in the Encyclopedia britannica,
we find the following statements (Vol.
l., p. 1853, Am. Ei.): "From infor-
nation carefully gathered, Mr.. Card
gives it as his opinion that the
average produce of wheat per acre in
twenty-six of the thirty-two counties
of England visited by him is twenty
six and two-thirds bushels per acre"
This is about eleven bushels over the
American average, as given in our re-
cent census tables. And the Encyclo-
pedia says that it is fourteen per cent
higher than the estimate of the same
counties made by Arthur Young eighty
years before. The writer in the En-
cyclopedia, w. T. Thornton, adds that:
"Were the country generally as we'll
cultivated as particular farms that are
to be met with in all parts of it, we
should have the present average in
creased by at least eight bushels per
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1892-10-26

Now eight bushels per acre would
only bring up the average in England
to thirty-four and two-thirds bushels,
which is not uncommonly exceeded by
careful wheat farmers in New York,
Pennsylvania and Ohio, or even in New
England. We have ourself grown
thirty-six bushels to the acre; and this
on light land, said to have been en-
tirely worn out when it came into our
possession, about seven years previous.
But as it had been cleared of heavy
maple growth only fourteen years be.
fore it came into our hands, we took
very little stock in that. That it was
run do,on was quite evident; but that it
was run out was nonsense, and proved
to be such, not long afterwards, by
crops of wheat as above, of winter rye
reaching fifty-one and one-half bush
els, of corn ninety-two, and of potatoes
AGO bushels, per acre.

THE road-tax that is portion of
every farmers tax bill, is paid Cor
worked out in some old-fashioned
places) somewhat grudgingly, it is to be
feared. But it is not quite so easy to
figure the amount of that kind of road
tax which every farmer and teamster
is enforced to pay by reason of the
miserable condition of the roads, and
which comes to them in the shape of
used-up horses, broken harness and
wagon gear.

Editorial NOtings.

OUR friend, Mr.. Jenner-F ust, of the
Montreal Journal of Agriculture, kindly
urges upon Vermont farmers a careful
test of rape as a green feed. AS it will
come on at about the time pastures are
falling in dry season, it does seem to
us that it would be valuable, even If it
has to be cut and carted. He says,
speaking of the portable hurdle fences
Elf DR.. Hoskins would like TO see my
favorite form of hurdles, should be
happy to send him a pattern. AT any
rate, an engraving Of it can be seen in
the Encyclopedia Britannica, under the
head of " Fertilization, ;" tit. cheuduT de
friSe. About ten feet makes handy
length, and the main bar need not be
more than three.inch stuff. One man
can set the fold, as the hurdles roll over
easily"
THESE hurdles are simply center
bar, 3x3 inches, with smaller bars set
crosswise through the center one, like
common saw-horse, used for saving
fire-wood They are rolled over and
over to where they are to stand tenn
porarily for fence. We think they
have to be coupled with cord at the
corners. If we ever come to growing
this class of crops for feed, we must have
some such fence, as it is much better to
feed the crop where it grows, not only
to save the labor of cutting and carting,
but also to leave the dung on the ground.
We do not know why clover could not
be fed off in the same way; but, Of
course, care must be taken not TO allow
the stock to eat too much at once of
such fermentable food, liable to cause
bloat. We do not know whether rape
is subject to this risk in feeding, but
clover certainly is. The first cost of
the hurdles is not great, and with care
they would last long time.

WERE men governed by reason and
common sense, stock breeding would
advance with wonderful strides. One of
the first things to do would be to ex-
terminate about nine-tenths of the dogs
of the country and thus to promote sheep
breeding. But for the dog nuisance,
ten sheep might be raised in New
England where now only one is found.
Dogs, tobacco aud rum-what curse

ment he is bound to favor is, to use the
words of Lincoln, man of similar
mould, ga government of the people,
by the people, for the people" When
shall we see it, in its purity, on the soil
of America?
AN exchange remarks; "No one
questions the ability of the farmers of
Vermont to manage their own affairs,
but they never have had influence
enough with the powers that be to
secure the appointment of one of their
own number as secretary of the board
of agriculture" This is little too
much like twitting on facts"; but
who amongst us can stand up and say
that the farmers in this agricultural
state do really occupy the position, or
exercise the power, that would be &C.
cupied and exercised by any other class
in America, similarly situated? Does
the manufacturing class, the CONNER
cial class, the maritime class, the pro-
fessional class, sit silently under mani
fest abuses to their injury in the con-
duct of corporations, which might be
set right by the action of the legislature
now in session? And will one man
among them all "peep" on this mo-
mentous subject? Vermont farmers
are wronged to the extent of millions
of dollars annually by corporations,
trusts and rings.

WE do not believe in the possibility
of permanently impoverishing any land
that was ever good, merely by cropping.
The only answer we gave to the proph-
cts of evil, who tried to make us be-
lieve that we had been cheated in that
land, was that we did not believe, from
the looks of the previous owner, that
he was capable of running out any kind
of land. We may add that this improve
ment, aside from careful tillage, was
effected by the application of about
eighty bushels of unleached wood ashes
and 200 pounds of ground raw bone to
the acre. We made the land clean by
careful tillage for several years, before
we tried it with wheat, adding in fer
tilizers each season as much as we esti.
mated to be removed by the crop of the
year before. In this way we kept up

At Baku, on the west coast of the Caspian

is little betrerment Ia the sanitary condi-

ciently stringent The commission asks for
further power in the premises
The military physician at Dushake has
telegraphed that the disease there has got
beyond his control and asking that medical
assistance and nurses be sent him. A feature
Of the epidemic is the rapidity with which
persons stricken with it collapse. One OF
the guards on the trans-Caspian railway
was seized with cholera and died on his
train before any medical assistance could be
obtained for him.
Cholera has appeared at Tsaritzin, on the
Volgs The fears that the disease would
invade European Russia have been roalized
and already several hundred cases have
been reported on this side of the frontier.
The inhabitants and troops in the towns
along the frontier are panic stricken.
