IT seems pretty evident that, when
the writer in Meehdn's Monthly speaks
of lack of hardness in the Russian
apples of Philadelphia which safely en-
dure, in Minnesota aud Canada, tenn
perature that freezes mercury, he is re-
ferring to different kind of hardness
from that. Although, as rule, the
Russian apples best known in this
country endure wide ranges of temper
allure, and succeed as well in Louisiana
and Texas as in the cold North, it
seems that there is something in the
way of climate in Pennsylvania that
they have not endured. And also it
seems that there is something-and
this also may be distinct-which they
did not, in Mr.. Albaugh's case, endure
in Illinois; but in what part of Illinois
is not stated. We are told that there
are considerable portions of that state
in which few or no apples succeed well.
And taking the whole state together,
as it stands recorded in the last 1S9D
Report of the American Pathological
Society, covering 339 varieties of
apples, only eighteen varieties are
double-starred for Illinois; and of these,
two, Oldenburgh and Astrachan, are
Russians. This is a large excess for
these long-known Russians, in proper
ton to the entire number of we'll
know and tested varieties of that class.
There can be no better evidence given
of the relative value of the well-known
Russian apples as compared with other
sorts, than this Notwithstanding of the
American Society's list.

AN exchange quotes speaker at
dairy institute as saying: "The farmer,
as a rule, is unskilled in his profession.
He knows more about theology, tariff
and taxation-or thinks he does-than
of nitrogen, potash and phosphoric
acid. Many of them went into, or
were forced into, farming without know
ing single principle that underlies
their work, and they are Flooding along
without making any effort TO learn
better way. Their fathers kept cows,
but they knew little about them. They
kept no record of sales or expenses, and
therefore did not know whether they
were making or losing money. AS
rule, they were losing it. Many of us
are travelling in the same path, while
some of us have investigated and had
new routes arranged and graded"

MYTH appettes sharp as the swords
wv of spain,
of Maine,
No wonder you're seized with an inward
pain,
And made cross and grabbed.
But when you do shorten the pastry with
lard,
You render digestion remarkably hard
We beg of the cooks of the land to discard
This dangerous habit
1t ruins digestion. The experts insist it
Should never be used in pie-crust or
biscuit,
And never in cooking at all should you
risk it.
But people must,
1t seems,
Have crust
To make pie
And think it hard to Danish lard
With which to fry
Now "CoTToLENE" is pure and clean,
And will supply
The place of lard in this regard.
Suppose you try
Croquettes, and see
How delicate and crisp they'll be.
Physicians, chemists, cooks, all say,
BY using "CoTToLENE" you may
Prepare your food in such way,
That children and dyspeptics too
Can eat what other people do.
Its color is quite golden looking,
No odor rises from its cooking;
1t will at once enlist your favor,
When you have tried its matchess favoc.
Your health and wealth you will enhance
BY giving "CoTToLENE" a chance.

body to 60 bird-shooting, 1t is just as
right for a "Christian minister to go.
We have been hunting and fishing with
ministers ourself; and we like good
hearty man of that sort, who looks at
things as they are, has good digestion,
good common-sense aud takes no stock
in the fine-spun sentimentalism which
lies at the bottom of such criticism.
Why birds themselves hunt birds.
Did not the Creator know what he
was doing when he put these instincts
into his creatures? Life of all kinds is
so overlooking and Astounding, and
death is so essentially part of the
whole plan of creation, that nothing
can be palmer than the rightfulness of
hunting and shooting and fishing. "Oh,
yes, you may shoot for food, but not
for SPORT" say some. Well, we would
like to meet up" with the man who
can draw up scheme of killing on
that basis that would hold water min
ute. And the very fact that the writer
of the above quoted paragraph had to
adorn it with the bob.tailed shooting
coat" shows that he felt a "goneness !"
in his conception at the start.

If you were going to grind 100000
pounds of flour you would not run a
steam engine eighteen months if you
could grind the same amount in twelve
moAtns. Why? Because you could
save the fuel for six. You do not want
TO run the hogs system for eighteen
months to get 400 pounds of pork if
you can get that amount in twelve
months.

For sailing about near the shore,
or taking out pleasure parties, or
running a nearby fishing or short
coasting trade, the common sailor
the man who can "hand, reef and
steer will do very WELL And the
like is just as true of the " common
farmer" of whom we hear so much
and so much, too, that isn't So" He
can run small farm to get living for
his family, working out a little for his
neighbors, selling little butter, some
wool, eggs, potatoes and other truck;
and not only make living" but lay
up money. He can do that even on
rented land; and if he is energetic,
careful and frugal, with family that
is ditto" he can in time pay for his
land. And to do this he does not need
college education, though that it
would not necessarily hurt him is
shown by the fact that ministers and
other educated men have been known
TO make such farming pay.

THE greatest hindrance in the way
of an " educated man" Gin the COM
mon acceptation of that term) making
a good farmer, lies in the small of his
back. We have frequently explained
the reason for this here, and in other
journals; but we do not remember of
getting our belief on this subject en-
dorsed to any very great extent by
other writers. Perhaps they have not
had our wide field of observation. The
fact that we are I" DOCTOR" gives
those who don't know US personally the
idea that we are sort of silk-stocking
farmer. That is mistake. Our bones
were hardened and our muscles and
cords were toughened by hard work
when we were youth and young man.
We had worked in machine shop,
paper mill aud printing office, driven a
dray, and run truck farm for a dozen
years before we entered a medical col
lege. And it is just because we know
the need of such toughening, and have
laughed at and pitied so many soft
bodied and limber-b oned men who have
tried to take hold of farming and other
sorts of bodily labor after their bodies
had ceased growing, that we make a
point of emphasizing the necessity of
hard bodily work, while young, to
make a good farmer Our brothers of
the agricultural press whose training
has been in city offices and suburban
gardens, don't understand this matter;
and even those of them who are practi-
cal farmers, not being also psychologists,
fail to see the sense in our statement
that man must be physically as well
as mentally trained for the business in
his youth before he can hope to be in
all respects just as he should be TO
make thorough practical and scien-
tihc farmer. -
BUT, dear reader, pray don't imagine
that we lay any strong claim to be that
thing ourself-for we don't. The fact
Is, that our tastes have all our life run
toward horticulture rather than agri-
culture; and although the two shade
into each other, and at many points re-
quire the same sorts of skill and knowl-
edge, yet they are not the same. For
the last four years we have been try
ing to run a dairy farm; and, though
sixty-four years old, we mean to try to
become a good dairyman before we
have to quit. -
AN exchange says "A Christian
minister travelling around in bob-tailed
shooting coat, killing feathered song
sters with double-barreled gun, is not
an object to excite public admiration,
to say the very least" How full this
world is of can't If it is right for any
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1892-11-30

THE above quoted allegations in re-
gard to the knowledge of farmers about
their business are not sufficiently dis
criminative, and are therefore unjust.
The knowledge of farming possessed
by the average farmer" is much like
the knowledge of sea craft possessed
by the average sailor. The latter can
do all ordinary work-routine work
about the ship very well Possibly he
may be able to do it better than the
captain or first mate, who may be out
of practice. He has the art of seaman
ship, perhaps in high degree of per-
fiction; but he probably has none of
the science of navigation, and knows
not how to bring ship by the best
course safely and quickly to her desired
havan

Suit for Damages. -

Inc Jeesup d Moore Paper Company
recently entered suit in the Common
Pleas Court In Philadelphia, against
the Baltimore and Philadelphia Rail-
road Company, to recover damages al
legged to have been sustained by dirt
and grease falling into the settling
pond and rendering the water unfit
for use in the Augustine paper mill,
from the construction OF tho bridge
over the Brandywlne at that place,
rendering necessary the construction
OF filterlng apparatus at great ex-
penSe.
In Its affidavit OF defense the rail-
road company alleges that IL entered
into an agreement with the paper
company, by which the railroad com
pany constructed a floor under It's
bridge. with raised sides, to retain any
grouse or dust from tho railroad
bridge. Tho railroad company al.
leges that 1t constructed floor under
this bridge, and that no dirt falls into
the pond from this superstructure. 1t
further says that the paper company
has not sustained AZ heavy damages
as represented In tho construction of
of the filter; that the pond is not used
on all occasions. but only in time OF
high water, when the Brandywine
creek is too muddy for the use of lite
water in the mill: that tho dirt In the
pond, II any, comes from an adjoining
| smokestack, and that IL the paper
company has sustained any damages.

Though Chancellor Salisbury had
been In enfeebled health for a NUN Der
OF years, and naturally could not have
been expected to live many more
years In addition to his long and use
full life. his sudden death was quite
unexpected and came with the sudden
warning oft repeated, that "in the
midst OF life we are In death" The
Chancellor was more than an ordl-
nary, more than great man in many
respects. He was by nature endowed
with keen intelligence and almos
unbou nded mental capacity. His
quick, active mind taking the direction
of the law, he filled the full measure of
\ legal advocate, and as tits but "a stop
trom the law to the political forum, he
took that step, and as an orator, a
profound reasoner, statesman, he
had but few equals.
training In the minor offices, he was
not the subject OF promotion from q
county office to State ofllce, from a
State Office to a Congressman, and
from that to the Senate. but through
the partlality of a constituency that
knew him well he launched at once
into the United States Senate at time
when to be noticed In that body re.
CURED the very highest order of intel.
ligence and craftsmanship. He OF
once became the peer of the giant
minds that filled the Senate In those
days. Ill advised secession left him
with small minority OF his own party
In the Senate, but his kindly, genial
nature made him popular with suet
great Republican leaders as Sumner
Wilson and Wade. ..
His seat In the Senate was never
filled by his party as he filled il. As
chancellor of the State of Delaware,
he displayed the same great ability as
. Judge that he ever before display et
as Senator. Though the body be.
came frail, the mind retained its usua
vivaclty and brightness.
4i We never could agree with him pc
lltlcally, In fact, we saw much in him
to condemn, but he was so kind, so
genial, so entertaining, 30 tender and
thoughtful in his conversation not tC
wound the feelings of others, that to
know him was but to have the highest
regard for him, and now that tn,

his fathers, we say without hesitation
that great man i'll Delaware has
fallen.
