How much does it cost you to raise a
colt three years old? Before a Wiscon-
sin institute couple of weeks ago one
farmer gave the following figures,
which look very low to some of us
farther east: Fifteen dollars service fee !;
Sc pasture, first year; 80 the second
year, and SIG, S19 and $40 for first,
second and third winter feeds, which
will make less than 800.

WITH truth, Rural Life says " There
are now literary colleges enough in the
country. Education has been made so
cheap that poor but deserving young
men and women can get anything in
the line of high learning by making
just the amount of exertion that is good
for them. We have enough libraries
to go around, and bibles are so cheap
than even a tramp can save his two
cent pieces and buy one in few weeks.
But there is one thing we have not
enough of in the United States, and
never did have. That is, good roads.
If any millionaire wishes to immortal
ize himself and really benefit posterity,
let him select the country roads in a re.
gion of farms and fix up those high
ways"

NOTWITHSTANDING the enormous in
crease given to human strength by the
mechanical powers, the lever, the pulley,
the wheel and axle, etc., the removal

tiles than Salvation Oil.

Mr.. G. A. THOMAS of East Monkton,
VT, writes as follows " Addison
county is composed largely of clay;
consequently in the spring it is so
muddy that it is impossible to draw out
manure. The only time it can be done
is the fall or winter. When DR.. Cutting
was secretary of the board of agricul-
ture he advocated strongly spreading
manure on the snow in the winter.
Being a good talker, he carried his
point. 1t was believed before he came
amongst us that manure so applied
would wash away badly when the snow
went off; but, what with his talk and
the leisure of the winter season, it has
become the practice TO draw and spread
on the snow. My own manure was so
applied this winter. The snow has just
gone off with rain. The ground was
frozen hard, and the black juice has
gone across the farm into the brook.
The question is, do the farmers in your
vicinity and where DR.. Cutting lived
still spread their manure in winter-that
is, if they ever did?"

would think he had gone crazyl Doz-
ems of them go without socks because
they cost forty cents pair at the store.
The same kind and quality can be
bought in half.dozen lots at twenty-five
cents per pair. But these fellows
wouldn't think for a moment of buying
a whole half-dozen pairs at one time.
They will trot around to every store in

to hear farmers called pumpkins and
clod-hoppers, but / have learned that
these appellations fit thousands of them
much better than their clothes. Occa-
sionally one of these soil wrestlers gets
an introduction to a live, honest news
paper, and as he reads and meditates
the scales fall from his eyes and the fog
clears off his brain, and then he dis
covers what a consummate mule he has
been for many years back. lie learns
that he has been feeding the merchants
of his village on the fat of the land and
clothing them in purple and fine linen
by buying his goods of them of them in
little dribs and dabs at the highest re-
tail rate, which has averaged about forty
per cent above cost. Then he begins
to lift up his eyes and investigate, and
soon he is ordering goods in bulk from
headquarters and retaining the forty
per cent. Having once fairly started
in the right direction, he grows steadily
in intelligence and business sagacity
until he is known as one of the shrewd-
est and safest men in his locality, and
is Just as honest as ever"

Doubt Changed TO Faith
Salt Rheum Completely Cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla.

The following frank statement comes
from Mr.. William Fox, painter for
the Williams Slate Mantel Works, Fair
Haven, VT:
"I used to read testimonials with doubt.
But since gave Hoods Sarsaparilla to my
little girl, Kitty, some four years ago, and 1t
did so much for her, believe that they are
all genuine, honest, and record veritable
cures by Hoods Sarsaparilla. Kitty was
three years old when skin disease eczema,

In reply to Mr.. Thomas, we can speak
only within our limited scope of obser-
walton; and we should be very glad to
have some readers who farm under like
conditions of soil help us in giving him
practical advice that may be of use to
him. The soil in our vicinity is very
little of it of clayey nature, though
many years ago we had TO do with
clay farm. We think it far from ad-
visable to draw out manure to spread
upon clay hillside after the ground
has frozen. On such a spot we should
want to apply such dressing in Sep
TENDER or October, 80 that the fall rains
might carry down the soluble portion
into the earth, before the ground was
closed by frost. A good cross-working
over the surface with cutaway harrow
would also seem to be good practice.
We think that DR.. Cuttings advice,
precisely as he gave it, may have been
good. But it is often the case that the
main point is remembered, while the
necessary qualifications are more or
less forgotten on neglected.

On the subject of gentle cattle, and
and the neOdlessness of dehorning, a
kind hearted farmer says, in the Connec'
ticut Farmer, that "My cattle will fol-
low me until leave the lot, and on the
way up to the barnyard in the evening
stop and call for lock of hay. Smith
son says there is nothing at all remark
able about that. He went into barnyard
one day last summer, where he had not
the slightest acquaintance with the
cattle, and an old bull not only followed
him till he left the lot, but took the
gate off the hinges and raced with him
to the house in the most familiar man
ner possible. Smitbson says he has no
doubt that the old fellow would have
called for something if he had waited
a little while, but he didn't want to
keep the folks waiting dinner, so he
hung one tail of his coat and piece of
his pants on the BULLS horns and went
into the house."

The report of Hon. jeremiah Rusk,
ex-secretary of agriculture, emphasizes
the fact that of more than billion dol
lars worth of exports of our domestic
products for the past year, nearly eighty
per cent consisted of agricultural pro-
ducts, making the United States the
creditor of the world for over 5000, 000,-
900 excess of our exports over imports
and relieving our home markets from
the surplus products which would other
wise have reduced prices to point be-
low the cost of production.

HERE is a question, clipped from an
exchange, which we really wish our
readers would consider and write to us
about: "How can we arrange road
work and taxes so as to remedy the
present defects that are to be found
upon all of our Gross roads? The
farmer who lives upon one of these
roads pays as much tax in proportion
to the value of his property as the one
upon the main highway, where the
amount of travel keeps it in good condi-
ton the most of the time, and little
breaking through snow is ever neces-
sary. Equal taxation ought to give
equal advantages to all who pay the tax.
AS the road tax is now used, we re.
ceive very unequal benefits therefrom."
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1893-03-29

A WRITER in an exchange says: 1t
will be we'll to go little slow in giving
orders for the new varieties of Russian
apples. While some of them may prove
desirable varieties to grow, yet there is
too little known about them at the
present time to make it certain they are
wanted. 1t takes good apple to be
more desirable than some of the long
tried sorts, and unless the new are more
desirable they are not wanted further
than in an experimental way" 1t
would be still wiser if such writers
would give their readers some reliable
and practical information about the
Russian apples such as would enable
them to make selections intelllgently.
A large proportion of the northern tier
of states and of Canada must grow
Russian and other iron-clad treesfruits,
or none at all; and the facts about
them in detail, rather than vague, de-
mandatory and unintelligent criticism,
is what the public want. Very much
Of what we see in the papers is mani

lege, the Dominion Experiment. Station,

1T is quite true, as Rural Life OBJ
serves, that the american craze for
land has no parallel. That a land
hunger should exist at this early date
In the history of this country, and be
unappeased, would seem impossible on
a continent whose land areas were sup.
posed to be illimitable, and whose soil
was supposed to be inexhaustible. Yet
that land hunger does exist, and one
OF the keenest character, is proved by
the scenes at the opening of the Okla
homa territory three years ago, and
winch has been repeated again at the
opening of the Cheyenne, Arapahoe
and Sisseton reservations" Field and
Farm says: "There is more truth than
poetry in the expression wanting the

not suffice the American landgrabber
If he could have chance at the uni
verse;"
UPON the subject of the milking
qualities of ewes, Mr.. j. II. Shepperd,
a graduate of the Iowa agricultural col
lege, reporting some interesting ex-
periments, says: "The milk-giving Ca
pacity of ewes was studied by muzzling
the lambs when about ten days old and

AFTER THIRTY YEARS
Col. "Dick" Thompson Meets a
 Man
Whose Loyalty He Passed Upon During the War of the
 Rebellion.

Col. Wm. x. Osborne, of Phoenix, is supposed to be the only white man in the territory who lived in Arizona half a century ago. The colonel day before yesterday renewed an acquaintance formed under disadvantageous circum- stances during the war. At that time he lived in Indiana and being a Kentuckian by birth was suspected of disloyalty. He was therefore arrested and taken to Terra Haute before the provost marshal who was no less per sonage than Col. "Dick" Thompson, afterward Hayes secretary of the navy and who is now temporarily residing in Phoenix. Col. Osborne was treated with the utmost consideration by the provost marshal who having inyesti- gated the accusation against him dis charged him. Pending the investiga- tion however he allowed Col. Osborne the limits of the city and paid his ex- penses. The ex-secretary and provost marshal learningsoon after his arrival in Phoenix that Col. Osborne resided here sent for him. So the two men who had last met as judge and accused were again thrown together in friendly con ference which occupied an entire even ing in the course of which that event of thirty years ago was recalled.
