The Best Breed of Cows for Vermont
Farmers
[ From St. Adams Messenger.

From St. Adams Messenger
The following very sensible remarks
are from an article by DR.. Hoskins in
breeds of COWS:
Our dairy farmers are, beyond question,
as good Judges of the merits of dairy stock
as any in the world; and the average yield of
butter per COW is greater in Vermont than in
any other state or province on the continent.
They have tried everything. Dutch, Devon.
Durham, Ayrshire, Jersey,-thcse have all
been tested in every county, and almost every
town in the state. They have been exhibited
at all our fairs; their friends have had the ear
of every farmer at agricultural meetings
without count; and their minds are made up
shat the Vermont Jerseys, either pure bred
or graded on the old stock, are the cows for
and ready to try anything that promises well.
No farmers are more ready to adopt i'm
provement, or show better judgment in re-
gard to claims made for such, than the men
who run our dairy farms.
The above is good evidence of the in
telligence of V, rmont dairymeu, and of
the fitness of things. Some farmers
have done good deal of experimenting
before coming to the conclusion that the
Jerey is the best COW for the butter
dairy, all things considered. One reason
for this was from the fact that some of
the other breeds tried were first brought
to the notice of the farmers, while the
Jersey came along later. That she is
gaining far better footholi upon Yer
mont farms than any other prominent
breed, and retaining it, is pretty conclu-
sive evidence of her superior value for the
purposes wanted. The sooner farmer
finds what particular breed is best
adapted to his purpose, the better it
will be for him. Continually changing
from one breed to another, without any
weil-defined purpose, will not be found
productive of satisfactory results.
Neither is it best for the Vermont farmer
to keep a mixture of different breeds for
the same purpose. It is believed that it is
better to determine, as soon as possible,
what breed is wanted, and then adhere
closely to the decision. There may be
some disappointments, but with steady
persistence in sci citing, breeding and
rearing, with always definite object in
view, there cannot well fail of being a
steady improvement. L. should be
borne in mind that. not all Jerseys of
their grade will make satisfactory ami
mails for the dairy. A poor jersey COW
is about as poor as one from any other
breed, so there must al ways be careful
ness In selecting out ana repl ICING tnese
with those that are letter. But, it will
be well to remember that it takes some
animal of this breed several years to
get at their best, and what may appear
to be an unprOmisng animal as a heifer,
may make an excellent COW at six years
old. And another thing, since butter
test is becoming the criterion by which
COWS will be rated in the future, it may
sometimes happen that one yielding a
a compare lively small amount of milk,
will be valuable animal, from its SUI
perior richness. All of these things
shnul be taken into account.

GROWING BOYS AND GIRLS.
Mirror and Farmer

VI YEare just turning our atten-
NVVk ton TO the question of how to
grow livestock on the farm
vNE and farmers travel long dis
wv tances to listen to speakers
of experience and scientific
knowl dge, and to join in the discussion
and help bring out the facts which
many are beginning to feel are so need
full. 1t is already pretty well settled
that to grow an animal to its best estate
at the least cost it must be carefully
sheltered, fed and trained from the start
to the compla elton of its developm ent i.
There is no resting place, no pltce at
which care can be safely omitted or full
feed withheld without checking growth
or stunning its highest attainment. just
in proportion as there has been failure
to comply with all the requirements of
natures laws, will there be failure to
reach the highest and completest results.
Did it ever occur to our farmer
friends that these facts and principles
are Just as applicable to the raising aud
educating of boys and girls as to the
growing of domestic animals? Are not
the boys and girls the highest and most
valuable product of the farm? Should
they not have even greater care and at
tention bestowed upon them than upon
the animals of the farm? Notice
how fast the dawning intellect of
the child opens upon the world around it
how. from almost utter unconciOusness
in short time, the little mind aided by
the five senses. picks up wonderful
fund of practical knowlsdge; and then
mark how soon inquiry is awak med and
it begins to ak questions about things
that often stump the wisest and most
learned philosopher. Surrounded by the
attractions of the farm home and given
the freedom which is possible only in
farm life, during the first few years OF
its existence, it developes in beauty and
strength physically and picks up almost
imperceptibly and without aid an educa-
tion nearly equal to college course.
Shout there not be care that no cause
shall force a halt at this point, in either
its physical or mental devtlppment-aye
and it's moral development, for it has
already begun to know right from
wrong, and hate from love? Should
not the greatest pains be taken to Sc
furnish it with physical and mental food
and exercise that it will keep right on
growing at the same rapid pace until
perfect manhood is reached? Was not
life and it's surroundings and experiences
given it for this very purpose? If it does
not accomplish this, then practical and
theoretical life, worldly and spiritual
life, have in some way got out of har-
mony, and we need to adjust our educa-
tional ability and industrial ms itutions
so that they will vibrate in perfect har-
mony and lead naturally to the highest
culture and accomplishment. This is
one of the problems of the future and
the farmers mist he the most imDOrtant
factors and actors in its solution.

From Troy Times.l

There is money in farming in New
England. The Manchester Mirror tells
how Deacon Daniel Fl. P arker, who died
at Dunbarton, N. H., few days ago,
accumulated 100000. He had no ID
heritance from his parents but good
constitution, sterling honesty and a
strong propensity for work. He ran in
debt for farm while a mere youth,
paid for it, and lived upon it sixty years.
He never specul ated, never h sala-
ried office, but reared and educated a
family of four children, lived frugally
and well, aud gave literally to charity
and the church. The man who accnmu-
lates 100000 in such a career does W, II,
and becomes a person of influence. We
could relate another instance. The
name of the man was Horace Clark; e.,
too. was deacon, and his home WAS at
Wilbraham, Mass. His father died when
he was child, aud his mother was so
poor that she bound him and his brothers
out to the farmers in the neighborhoOd.
When Mr.. Clark married his education
was so limited that hi wife taught him
to read. He began by saving his wages
till he had enough to purchase few
acres of forest, the wood of which he
cut off with his own hands and carted to
Springfield. When the first purchase
was cleared he bought another tract,
pursuing this kind of life till he had ac-
cumulated 700 or 800 acres. Springfield
in the meantime grew from hamlet to
city giving him better market and
enhancing the value of his land. He
was a rich farmer when he died at the
age of eighty-one. He, too. was chart
table, and gave freely to the church; in
deed, when the Congregational church
at Wilbraham was burned he and one
other wealthy farmer put their hands in
their pockets and paid for new and
better structure, waiting patiently for
the congregation to compensate them
for part of the outlay. Given good
health, high integrity, tirel-ss industry
and steadiness of purpose, and the New
England farmer can be relied upon TO
''get there" quite as soon as the pioneer
on the more fertile acres of the west.

WASHINGTON, May 19.-The American
personnel of the Bering sea arbitration
commission is fully decided upon. On
the part of the United States, Justice
John M. Harlan and Senator John p.
Morgan will be the arbitrators, and ex.
Minister John w. Foster, as agent oi
the United States, will have charge
OF the preparation OF the case and
counter case, and will be the official
representative of the house before the
board of arbitration. The counsel of the
United States consists of ex-United
States Minister Phelps, James @. Carter
of New York and Judge Henry w.
Blodgett, OF Chicago. BY the terms OF
the treaty the case of each government
will be admitted by the 9TH of Septem-
ber; the counter case by the 9TH of De-
cember, and the printed argument OF
counsel by the 7th of January, at which
date the board of arbitration will hold
it's first meeting in Paris.
CHICAGO, May 19.-Judge Henry w.
Blodgett, of the United States district
court, has practically accepted the posi-
tion as one of the counsel for the
United States in the arbitration of the
Bering sea dispute with England. The
position was rendered him by the presi-
dent through Solicitor-General Aldrich.
Judge Blodgett has accepted the ap.
pointment, and upon the official an
nouncement of the came by the presi-
dent, will send in his resignation as
United States Judge.
81 shall take up no more cases in
court" said Judge Blodgett, this morn
ing, 'sand if can dispose of the cases
already submitted to me, by the end OF
the present week, l shall 60 to Wash
ington next week. However, have not
yet resigned because the president may
decide to appoint some one else. I
think you will be safe in saying will be
one of the counsel in the case.
1t is desired, I understand, that the
commission take up the work in Wash
ington next month. The position of the
United States will probably not be pre-
pared before next September, will then
be submitted to the English govern
ment, and counsel will have ninety
days in which to reply. The United
States will be given sixty days in which
to answer this reply. All this is in the
treaty of arbitration between the two
countries. The arbitration treaty also
provides that each country be allowed
two arbitrators, and that three neutral
powers appoint one each. These coun-
tries are Italy, France and Sweden. The
arbitrators will meet in Paris and decide
the case there. l doubt very much il
they get together much before next
spring, consequently you can see there
The counsel associated with Judge
Blodgett will be E. j. Phelps of Yer.
mont and G. ]. Carter of New York.
Judge Blodgett's successor will be
appointed by the president. Pending
his appointment one of the circuit
judges of the seventh judicial circuit
will do the work of the district court.

explosion occurred, causing the crew to
sbandon their sinking ship.
The explosion was caused by the ac-
cumulation of coal gas in the hold,
which was ignited by the men going be-
low with a light. Captain Chapman
was fatally injured, and the second mate

Bland Again Baked in an Attempt to
Secure Silver Legislation.
WASHINGTON, May 19.-The house to-
day went into committee OF the whole,
Lasher of Georgia in thechair, on the
;sundry civil bill. The chair delivered
decision on the point Of order made
against Bland's amendment yesterday.
1t was conceded, said the chair, that the
amendment changed the existing law,
and, therefore, it would not be
In order, unless being germane
that it reduced the amount covered by
the bill. The chair was unable to see
how the amendment was germane, and
it did not reduce the amounts covered
by the bill, as it appropriated the seig-
niorage which might amount to $2,000,-
600. He therefore sustained the point
of order and ruled out his amendment.
Bland then re-offered his amendment,
with the proviso attached "that the
cost of this coinage shall not exceed
$93, 900; $4,000 of which shall be for
the coinage of subsidiary silver, and
the remainder for standard silver
dollars. Bland said he attached the
proyiso in order to remove the chairs
objection that the amendment did not
reduce the amounts covered by the bill.
Considerable discussion followed, and
finally the chair said he had heard
nothing to change his opinion that the
amendment was not germane, and he
therefore ruled it, as modified, out of
order.
Bland appealed from the decision, but
the committee sustained the decision of
the chair by vote of 120 to rs.
johnson, of Indiana, ridiculed Demo-
Gratis for their action on the silver ques-
tion, and said they let pass four occa-
