Clipped and Condensed.

WHATEVER you do, do that work
thoughtfully and well. Put some mind
and care into it.
THE pumpkin mixes readily with the
summer squash, producing useless
mongrels, hence seeds of both growth
in the same patch are worthless.
In the past wool has been bought by
Eastern manufacturers so near the same
price, set within narrow limits, that it
amounted to premium for dirty wool.
VERY few manufacturers, who de-
sire the best portion of the best fleeces
desire the very poorest portion of the
fleece, but usually sell this with the
Irvine for what it will bring.
BECAUSE bright timothy hay and oats
are the best feed for horses, it does not
follow that they would not like change
from it sometimes, or that they would
not do better for such change.
THERE are fifteen trusts publicly
known to control products which affect
the farmer more or less. In all of these
departments freedom Of production has
for a time been wholly or partially de-
stroyed.
THE largest raisin vineyard in the
world now bearing is owned by A. B.
Butler of Fresno, Cal. 1t contains six
hundred ten acres. The annual in
come from this vineyard has reached
100000.

oats by weight, is probably the best con-

producing food than corn.
DAIRYING is a good branch of hus-
bandry, and with good cows pays well
now; but if one half of the cows, the
better half, were taken out of our herds,
how much profit, think you, should we
realize from the other moiety?
WE do not believe that a farmer can
make as much money from a flock of
hens as from herd of cows, but we
believe he can make larger profit, in
proportion to capital invested, on the
hens, if they are taken care of.
THE word "whoa" is the one word
in all the vocabulary which never
should be used save for a single pur-
pose. The trouble is, we ring the
| changes on these words until neither
the animal or any one else has any idea
what is desired.
"WHAT are the independent rights
and privileges which belong to the
farmer? Why, he has right to sell all
he can raise at prices fixed for him; the
right to buy all he cannot produce at
prices dictated to him." says writer
in an exchange, and he hits the nail
whack ON the head.
THE merchant buys at wholesale and
sells at retail; the farmer buys at retail
and sells at wholesale; i. g., he sells at
price which enables all the middle
men who handle his products to make
a profit on them, and at the same time
the farmer pays the uttermost profit on
all the goods he buys.

EVEN in the discussion of points in
cidentally agricultural, there seems to
be curious lack of thought. The Re
publican, for instance, "runs off with
the idee" that any reduction of freight
and commissions on farm products
could benefit consumers only. 1t holds
that the sole result of such attachments
would be abatement of price to con-
sumers. The Republicans political
economy is the very best college.coined
article, made by professors, and war;
ranted to cure all public ills, if taken
according to directions. In short, they
have made it an exact science. Like
the Malthusianism of a former genera

THE mulberry is one of the most in
teresting trees of our American forests.
1t is a beautiful grower, thrifty, usually
free from insects, although its foliage is
the natural food of the silkworm, and
handsome in all its outlines. The null
berry family is allied to the figs; but
its fruit is much like the blackberry.
Our American species, the red null
berry, is native to southern New Eng
land, and thence southwark and west

not exceed that of the peach. Re-

Editorial NOtings.

RAILWAY, kerosene, beef, whisky,
grain, oleo, sugar and silver trusts and
rings now rule the American republic
with far more oppressive hands than
slavery ever possessed. What are the
people going to do about itP Our legisla-
tive bodies sell out our interests to spec
ulators with more shameless and open
venality than history records in any
other age. And all these abuses have
sprung up and overshadowed the land
within the last twenty years. Isn't
it about time to "clean house?"

In this matter of agricultural and
horticultural organization, Vermont
needs good deal of stirring up, until
our people realize the "good of it."
We are very practical people, given
over to the rule of hard facts-and
none the worse for that. But we can
also claim to have our share of COM
nonsense; and it is to this common
sense we would appeal in asking atten-
ton to the organization of our horti-
cultural interests. For many years we
have, been nurseryman, and have
not felt free here to say much on the
subject, because we did not wish to be
suspected of selfish motives. But we
have nothing to sell to our readers,
now, and nothing to gain personally in
our old age in advising our readers in
these matters for their own good.
Most everybody knows how wretchedly
the people are feeced by the tree and
plant peddlers who food the country
with trash in the form of the surplus
stock of Western nurseries, sold to
peddlers for trife and re.sold all over
New England at fancy prices. Nine
tenths of this stuff is mere swindle,
and it would be light estimate to say
that $4,000 is robbed from the people
of Vermont in this way every year.
More knowledge of horticulture, we'll
spread over the state, would save much
of this waste for better uses.

PERHAPS it may not be known that
variety of the English walnut known
as Preparations (early fruiting), has
proved quite hardy on Grand Isle, and
fpropagated by grating on the butter
nut or black walnut, this variety might
be readily grown almost anywhere
along Lake Champlain. The same may
be said of number of improved va
rieties of chestnut. These facts, among
many others of like character, indicate
the desirability of organizing horti-
cultural society in this state. Such
society, with state grant of five or six
hundred dollars annually, would be of
very great advantage to the people of
every county and town, in teaching
the people what to grow and how to
grow it, and in protecting them against
frauds of many kinds.

Mr.. GEORGE AITKEN calls our atten-
ton to an error in his paper on "Breed-
ing Dairy Cattle" as reprinted in our is
sue of April 20, from the New England
Homestead. In the paragraph reading
thus. 1.-THE best COW we have on the
Billings farm weighs only $50 pounds,
and last year she gave over 81 times
her own weight in milk, and PIT pounds
II ounces of butter" the reading should
be 517 pounds IL ounces. This is quite
differences; but it must have been evil
dent to any experienced reader that
there was serious error at this point
an error we are glad thus prominently
to correct. We wish we had about
twenty-five COWS like that.

ANOTHER fine tree is the catalpa, and
of this there are more and less hardy
sorts. The most hardy form would
succeed, we think, anywhere in the
Champlain and lower Connecticut val
leys, and probably as far to the north
as Montpelier in central Vermont.
There is, as in the mulberry, differ
ence as to hardness in individuals of
the more hardy catalpa, and these
should be selected and grown from cut
tings. Both for its large and striking
foliage and its beautiful clusters of
flowers, the catalpa should be grown as
far north as possible.

large tree would hardly yield more than
a quart of ripe fruit at one time. Add
to this that no fruit is more liked by
birds, and it is easily seen that the
mulberry is not Of much use, except as
a nice lawn tree. AS such we value it.

states speak of the Russian mulberry
as a fraud; but that is senseless sneer.

AND now, having referred to our
humble little herd, we may note that on
April 20 we dehorned the whole of
them, and from this time forward there
will be no more "horned stock" on our
premises. They did not mind it more
than fy-bite; and there was no
perceptible falling off in appetite or
yield. Each animal was cast on the
barn floor, and each horn taken off by
few strokes of sharp saw. Every
one went to eating as soon as returned
to the stalls. -
THE Springfield Republican suits us,
as newspaper, better than any other
in New England. 1t is very ably edited
in nearly every department, and is no
weaker when it strikes an agricultural
subject than any of the great dailies-
because it couldn't be. The sublime
contempt of the American daily press
for the farming interest, as shown by
its neglect in not having it represented
on the editorial stats by competent
writers, is certainly "queer."

The scandinavian Celebration.

The Scandinavians celebrated Pioneer
Day at Calder's park, and about 1900 peo-
pie attended. It was probably the largest
gathering that popular resort has held this
season. The opening remarks were made
by S. P. Neve, who was followed by the
scandinavian choir in a selection. Then
followed the Grafton of the day by Apostle
Anthon II. Lund, which was q splendid
effort, and then came duet by Mrs. @. E..
Anderson and Miss A. Nielsen. (. S.
Furnstrum spoke on the "Scandinaviens
Of Utah. and after a solo by Mrs. Q. K.
Anderson, Mr.. G. NJ Nielsen spoke on the
"Scandinavians of America Other
speakers were Mr.. Holstrum OF Sandy,
c. G. johnson and Ingwald Thoreson, and
selection by the Scandinavian choir
closed the exercises.
There were also three foot races, q boat
race, two children's races and an old ladies'
race.
The Rapid Transit company handled the
crowd very nicely going out but when
once there it looked as though they thought
the people had to ride back in their cars,
anyway, and they didu't care how they
were packed in. So men, women, children
and baskets were squeezed in together 10
order that the company might save a few
dollars of expense.
