Oxen on the Farm.

Farmers use horses for farm work
much more than they did forty or fifty
years ago. Then nearly all the team
work on farm was done by oxen, and
even a good deal of merchandise was
transported from Woodstock and other
towns in Windsor county 10 Boston by
oxen, and on the return trip they were
loaded with merchandise procured at
Boston. Que reason why farmers are
not as prosperous as those of olden
times is because they have substituted
the horse for the OK. Young oxen that
will do great amount of work on a
farm will gain in size and value nearly
enough to pay for their keeping, while
horses have to come to maturity before
they are good for anything for work,
and then they are declining in value
every year, and soon become worthless.
1t costs nearly twice as much to keep a
pair of horses as it does to keep a pair
of oxen. Besides, there is the extra
expense for harnesses and shoeing and
other things for those who use horses.
The greater part of farm horses that
are kept at work will fail up from some
unsoundness, or something else, within
five years and will be good for nothing
except feed for the crows. For winter
work oxen are far preferable to horses
and they will do nearly all kinds of
work on farm as well as horses can.
The exception is the cutting of grass
with machine, and there are instances
where oxen have done this work equally
well. Every farmer wants one horse,
and on many farms one horse attached
to light moving machine can do the
work. For nearly forty years l owned
and carried on farm in Barnard of
one hundred sixty acres. / never drove
pair of horses attached to load, but
always used oxen. l never had an OK
die on my hands, but have lost a good
many horses and have had good many
become unsound Horses are more
liable to di-ease than oxen. Next to
keeping sheep, consider the raising of
young oxen the most profitable. OF
course it is expected that men who own
large farms will work horses, but, as a
general thing, they have young oxen
besides. Smaller farmers who have
never used pair of horses on their
farms have been most successful, so far
as my knowledge extends. G C. II.

Hay Caps and Horse Feeding.

E. r. of Montpelier asks information
on these subjects as follows: "Do
you use common cotton cloth for hay
caps? If 80, what do you put on them
to make them shed rain, or will they
shed it without putting on anything?
Will you tell me which is the best way
to feed ground grain to horses-dry or
moistened with water? Which way
will it digest the easiest?" We have
not received our license to teach on
either of these subjects as yet, and so
we turn them over to our ever helpful
corps of correspondents. Don't hest
tate because somebody else may write.
Such hesitancy ends, very often, in our
not getting any response at all. We

to ask and answer questions, according
to need or ability. Take up the PEN "

About Maple Honey.

Agricultural Editor:-In answer to
your correspondents inquiries about
maple honey, | would say that l have
had the best success with the following
process: The syrup is drawn from the
evaporator at about thirty test, or about
ten and one-half pounds to the gallon;
settled over night, and then drained off
from the inter, put in the sugaring-off
pan, done to eleven pounds to the gall
Ion or thirty-fve test, hot, taken off,
and when thoroughly cold poured into
the cans, the nipples screwed down
tight, and home made sealing-wax put
around the rim of the nipple. l will
guarantee that syrup put up in this man.
ner and kept in an ordinary cellar will
retain its flavor for years; at least,
never had failure. 1t has given uni
versal satisfaction where sent, and l
have just received another order for
200 gallons from parties who received it
last year put up in the same way. /
never do anything with new cans so far
as cleaning them out is concerned.

years. The farmers are great voting
force; yet they have 80 far utterly failed
in their attempts to prevent the sale of
oleo under the name of butter. If they
can't do that, is there anything what
ever that they can accomplish in their
own defense. Dear reader, ask your
self this question every day, until you
see satisfactory answer to it; for on
that answer is dependent the question
whether our boosted republic is any

IT is difficult to see what the people
can do to help themselves under this

betray his constituents. We have been

these oppressive agencies, ruinous to
poor men and the poorer classes, only to

ONE of the most interesting things
we notice lately in the agricultural
press is a political independence that
does not hesitate to antagonize party
by name, if it deserves it. There has
been time when this would have been
a disastrous course. That it is 80 no
more is very encouraging. The younger
generations seem to realize much more
easily than their fathers that parties are
for the people; and that for the people
to enslave themselves to party bosses is
to defeat the very purpose of popular
government. That the bosses are get
ting more and more reckless, and sell
themselves more and more openly to
the enemies of society and good gov
erDment, is becoming evident to all
intelligent citizens. That the rum
power, the trusts and corporate in
fluences of every sort dominate our
politics, is getting plain to increasing
thousands of our intelligent voters.

THE one thing plainly to be seen is
that, with all their fine professions and
eloquent lip service, our public men are
evading their duty to the people in the
greatest matter of all-the expressions
of corporate greed. Corporations have
neither heart nor bowels-or, as that
old Maine senator of seventy years
ago, John Holmes, said, mo bodies to
be kicked, and no souls to be damned"
They are and can only be held respon.
sible to laws strongly framed and vigor-
ously enforced. But those two neces-
sary conditions are now universally
evaded. Instead of being strongly
framed, every law that the watchful
legislative agents of the corporations
don't like, if our venal representatives
and lordly senators are afraid absolutely
to defeat them, are so framed as to
prove weak and useless, 80 soon as an
effort is made to enforce them. The
same talent that is employed to make
them thus feeble at the start is again
used in the courts, when an effort is
made to enforce them. The same re-
suits are seen as in the well-known case
of the prohibitory liquor laws. The
skill trained for the last forty years in
beating anti-rum legislation is now
drawing immense pay for beating every
law framed to protect the people from
the greed of piratical corporations, or
single millionaires.

WE do not object to political parties,
as such. In every free country parties
are necessity, so long as there are
any important differences of opinion
and interest between different sections,
or as to different theories of govern
ment. But when party power now, for
the support of certain great ideas or
principles, is diverted, and used for
private ends, then party becomes a
curse; for under it the people are led

TWENTY years ago, when we began
printing the Vermont Farmer, there
was not an agricultural paper in New
England that thought it had the right
to peep" on any political or public
question-no matter how much it af-
fected agricultural interests. Now,
Massachusetts, has at least one first
class farmers paper at each end of the
state that is fright up and coming" on
all these matters. The Massachusetts,
State Grange maintains Legislative
Agent to look after matters of agricul-
turdl importance at the state house;
and the farmers all over the state are
studying not only their trade as never
before, but public affairs, and are gath
ering sense and pluck to back up the ed
itors that serve them best in these mat
tiers.
THE Vermont Farmer lived only three
years; but it pioneered a number of
journalistic ideas that have survived
and borne fruit. If there had been a
little more capital back of it, there is
small doubt that it would have been a
pecuniary success. But in sustaining
the grange it incurred the ill-will of
the mercantile class, 80 that it lost in
adv .rtising ten times more than it
gained in support from the class for
which it was laboring.
