TOMATOES FOR COws.-The Ruul
Canadian tells Of a farmer Tor ralh.
er a market g%ardener) who has
been trying the experiment of feed.
tomatoes to his cows. Having sev.
eral hundred bushels of the lrult
on hand ut the time when the mar.
kets were slutled. and not liking.
TO have them 90 to waste, he com.
menced feeding them TO his cows,
at first in small Quantities. Find.
ing that they ale them greedy,
and that The milk flow increased
rapidly, he fed up his entire sur.
plus in this way and was 50 well
pleased with This result that he has
since planted his tomatoes in a
field into which he can turn his
COWS after the marketable fruit has
all been gathered.
He says: The cows conld Int
be kept away iInm The vines, but
rooted them over with their noses
and horns and cleared up every.
Thing but the bare stalks. AS long
rs the tomatoes lasted they came
into The barn painfully full and
with distended udders."
This, of course, does not prove
that tomatoes can be proflably
gown as a feeding ration. but 1t
coincides with the writer's expe.
r%ience, that much of The surplus
and waste of the market garden
can be turned TO profitable account
in The dairy. Men who have small
farms near good towns car seldom
do better than by combining The
two industries OF gardening and
dairying.

Fruit, says an exchange, may be
readily kept several months by
taking sawdust and thoroughly
drying it on a stove so as TO gel
out all moisture. Tissue paper is
treated the same way. Then
punches of grapes are cut when
fully ripe in the fall, and every bad
or imperfect berry removed. Then
each bunch of grapes is wrapped
in The prepared tissue paper and
placed IN a box, and space between
the punches filled with the pre-.
pared sawdusl. The box should
then be wrapped up tightly in
paper and placed in a fruit house.
Fruit has been kept in fine condi.

The royal family of England will
have the sympathy of the whole world
in it's sorrow over the death Of the
Duke of Clarence and heir to the
throne. The event is especially sad
from the fact that the nation has just
been celebrating the betrothal and
preparing for the marriage of the
young Prince. The succession will
now fall to the second son of the
Prince of Wales, Prince George. He
is said to be a young man of unusual
worth and sturdiness of character.
He, too, has just recovered from
critical illness, but his strong consti-
tuition saved him from the sad end
that cut short the career of his broth
er. Prince Georges training has
been largely with the navy, and his
political aspirations for his country
are said to be that England's pre-
dominance ON the ocean shall not
only be maintained but strengthened.

He now has his revenge. During Mr..
Cleveland's speech Governor Hills
eyes were riveted upon him, and the
conclusion was irresistible that he
saw in him the lion in his path in 1892.

interesting event in American politics.

that the Statesman rather than the
politician will win.-TeIegraph.

With the death of Cardinal Manning
one of the most remarkable figures of
the age disappears. A man of intense
convictions, he had the courage to
stand by them, whatever the cost to
himself. Loving the quiet and "calm
delight of studies' the greater part of
his life was passed in the turmoils and
sharp struggles of one Of the greatest
intellectual and religious movements
that ever stirred England. His posi-
ton was a marked one as he stood
with those who changed faith, passing
from the Protestant to the Roman
Catholic communion. Though a con-
vert, however, Cardinal Manning lack
ed the offensive zeal that often char
acterize such, and retained not only
the esteem but the personal friend
ship of most of his old associates.
Liberal in his sympathies, earnest in
his efforts for the material and relig
ious improvement of the masses, Car
dinal Manning has been an important
factor in the recent social changes in
England.

UERMONIpS INVESTMENTS.

Generally speaking, the great South
ern booms which sprang into exis
tance two or three years ago have
fallen fiat. Fort Payne, Dennison,
Cardiff, Hartman, George Alabama
company and numerous other enter
prises are now reckoned as things of
the past. Thousands of New England
people however, will not soon forget
them, because of the financial losses
which they sustained. 1t would prob
ably be impossible to arrive at any
thing like correct estimate of the
money which has gone into these
schemes from Vermont.
Capitalists business and salaried
men have seen the money which they
have put into these booms with great
expectations, go into a hole and the
hole itself drop in after the money.
A person has the undoubted right to
invest his own money wherever he
deems proper and it's loss is matter
of neighborly regret, whether it dis
appears in some unsound scheme in
the South or West or is sunk in an ill
advised home concern.
The tendency of all these Southern
losses, however, is to encourage in
vestments nearer home. Nobody
need expect that all of Vermont's
wealth is to remain at home; it will
not in the nature of events. There
are good investments in the West at
reasonable rates of interest and Ver-
monters who prefer such loans will
look more particularly to the security
offered, and promptly reject offers of
fabulous rates of interest.
Home investors are undoubtedly
more numerous and the awakened
and increasing interest in Vermont
enterprises is in no wise confined to
newspaper articles-it is a reality.
Every new industry be it ever so
small, opens the way for something
more. 1t is not too saguine a view of
the matter to predict that the increase
enterprises in Vermont at the end of
this decade will find as much outside
capital invested here as is sent out of
the state by Vermonters, while home
investments will continue TO increase.
This will be a happy financial state

coined by Vermonters-espec
