REFERRING again to Meehan's
MONTHLY, we note the following re-
marks of the editor of that useful pub
LEGATION in reply to an inquiry of Tim
othy Wheeler of " Moscow" (should
be Waterbury Center) VT, as to the
" Seat of Vitality in Trees" The
Meehan's Monthly says: "To continue
the life of tree, new cells terminate
from the old cell; and after the new
cell has been formed, vitality, as we
understand it, ceases in the old CELL"
This being accepted as true, it follows
that all that is truly alive in any of our
Northern forest trees,-enogenS, as they
are called, to distinguish them from
the palms, and other tropical trees,
which grow from the inside, or heart,
like our field corn, and are therefore
styled endogenS,-is the new layer,

Enormous Wastes.

Farmers are enjoined to save all fer
tilizing matter, and blamed for let
ting their soil run out, by the very
classes who are wasting what farmers
save. The farmers scrape the road
sides, dig muck, gather leaves and
tend their compost heaps, cut and
use the hay on natural meadows
and save the manure which the cattle
bring to the yard from the large pas
lures, and in this way are able to keep
up the fertility of few acres of tillage
land about the home, while it can be
shown by figures that will stand that
every city of $4,000 people that uses
water-closets and sewers turns into the
river or ocean material which, if put in
a suitable form for handling by being
mixed with the street sweepings and
ashes which go into the dump, would
make 500 barrels of fertilizer, worth, at
market prices, 50 barrel, for every
day in the year. Thus from the farm
land which feeds 50,000 people is wasted
$1,000 a day, which never gets back
No other class would stand il, and no
other business could endure it. But
farmers cannot see the bottom of their
pile, and have kept up the habit of
working harder and digging deeper to
keep up the supply. But when the
land is all taken and has all been
skinned until it will not support the
people, the government will take hold
of this matter and stop this waste

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian tube. When this tube is in
famed, you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out, and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever. Nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an infamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by catarrh)

Cure. Send for circulars. Free.

us up if we fall. Let us learn all we
can, and give our children chance to
know still more than ourselves. That
will make farming pay.
IT is in reference to this matter that
our valued contemporary above referred
to says with force that farmer must
be weather prophet, a chemist, a
iinancier, stock breeder, botanist,
an entomologist, veterinary surgeon,
mechanic, and have capacity to enable
him to apply his skill in all these de-
partments at once when occasion calls,
He cannot depend on the daily market
reports for the standing of his crops
and the condition of his stock and the
needs of his soil. These things must
all be kept in his mind and under his
eye, and he knows that failure of any
crop cannot be repaired before another
year, and this fact makes him conscious
of much responsibility, and exercise
much thought and study at every step,
which he gets no credit for. He may
try experiments, but he must wait
months, if not years, before he will
know the result, while the mechanic
or the merchant can change his plans
and start on another track at any time
The skill and knowledge of the farmer
are not always associated in his mind
with the name of the science TO which
it belongs. The knowledge which en-
ables him to recognize at a glance the
first leaves of any cultivated plant
among the weeds is botany just as much
and is more reliable than if he had
learned it in the books, and the same is
true of many other branches of learn
ing that he must be skilled in; and
while he may not be master of the
ceremonies of society and the most GUS
tomary construction of sentences, his
mind is full of knowledge which al
most any other man would be proud of
if he had got it in the popular way, from
books.
SOME of our read RS seem to have
the notion that we are "down on all
dogs" We are not down on any dogs,
if the owners will see that they are
kept at home, as all live stock should
be. There are lots of dogs too
small to injure sheep and cattle,
that are yet worth great deal as
watch dogs, and as interesting COM
panions for young and old. The faith
full dog lies very near the heart of his
owner; but it should not be necessary
for that owners happiness that the dog
should have the privilege or opportun-
ity granted him to harass and kill stock
that other men think just as much of
as the dog owner thinks of his canine
friend. Men and women who will be
reasonable about this thing can see
that they ask too much, far too much,
when they demand for their dogs a
privileged liberty permitted to no other
domestic animal. The fondness of a
dog for his home and his master makes
it safe for that master to let him ram
ble,-as it is with no other beast, save
the harmless, necessary cat" But
that liberty of the dog is a danger to
thousands who have just as much
right TO protection for their property as
the dog

THE same publication tells us that
English statistics, recently issued, give
the longest average of life to clergymen,
but next to them come flower lovers.
Gardeners are so nearly equal to clergy
men in long lease of life, that slight
change in the average would place
them at the head of the list.

The Little Dog Under the Wagon.

Come, wife" said good old Farmer Gray,
Put on your things It's market day
And wen be off to the nearest town,
There and back ere the sun goes down.
Spot No, wen leave old Spot behind"
But Spot he barked, and Spot he whined
And soon made up his doggish mind
To follow under the wagon.
Away they went at good round pace,
And Joy came into the farmers face;
Poor Spot" said he, did want to come
But I'm awful glad he's left at home;
Hen guard the barn, and guard the cot
And keep the cattle out of the lot"
" Pm not so sure of that" thought Spot,
The little dog under the wagon.
The farmer all his product sold.
And got his pay in yellow gold
Then started homeward after dark.
Home through the lonely forest. Harkl
A robber springs from behind tree
" Your money or else your life," says he;
The moon was up, but he didn't see
The little dog under the wagon.
Spot ne'er barked and Spot er whined,
But quickly caught the thief behind;
He dragged him down in the mire and dirt,
And tore his coat and tore his shirt
Then held him fast on the miry ground
The robber uttered not a sound
While his hands and feet the farmer bound.
And tumbled him into the wagon
So Spot, he saved the farmers life,
The farmers money, the farmers wife;
Aud now the hero, grand and gay,
A silver collar he wears to day:
Among his friends, among his foes.
And everywhere his master goes,
He follows on his horny toes,
The little dog under the wagon.

aud then make them all cut to advan-
tage. And do you suppose this can be
done without both knowledge and reso-
lutionP knowledge gives courage and
confidence, puts backbone into every
good resolution, holds us up, and picks
us up if we fall. Let us learn all we
can, and give our children a chance to
know still more than ourselves. That

THESE two items are from the Con-
necticW Farmer: " Benjamin Hewitt
was prosecuted at Stonipgton, Satur-
day, for dehorning cattle, the State
Humane Society bringing the COM
plant. The claim was that the de-
horning was unnecessary cruelty. JUS
tice Stanton did not take the cruelty
view of the matter and discharged
Hewitt" "John Fink, aged sixty, a
farm hand employed by Henry Fen
wick of New Canaan, was gored by a
bull Thursday night, and died from his
INJURIES"
Now, why don't that State Humane
Society prosecute Mr.. Fenwick for
keeping an undehorned bull? Is a
mans life of less consequence than a
bulls horns, in the eyes of such So
ciety?
THE Stockman and Farmer has the
following very sensible remarks upon
" Surplus horse power" "The man
ufacturer watches closely to prevent
any waste of power, using only enough
to run his works properly. He knows
that power is costly, as he has to buy
the fuel, and he has to pay the other
expenses of keeping it up. There are
many farmers in our country at present
who could take a lesson from this
They have more horse power than they
need to run their farms properly, and
this power is worse than wasted, as it
does no work, consumes fuel (feed)
which is costly, and pays no interest on
the capital locked up in it. AT best the
farmer cannot utilize in winter all the
horse power which he finds necessary
for his business in summer; yet how
many are keeping horses which they
use but few days in the year either
for business or pleasure, and whose
feed bills would ten times pay the hire
of an extra horse on special occasions
This is the worst kind of management,
and would bankrupt any other business;
and if it does not the farmer it makes
the already hard times much worse for
him. All stock above actual necessi-
ties that is not growing into money is
power wasted. Every farmer should
take pleasure in owning one or two
pleasure horses, if be can afford such a
luxury, but only those who can amply
afford luxuries can keep extra horses
these days"
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1893-08-02

GOOD reader, what are your ideas
about horse-rakes? We have pretty
much used up one Bay State" in the
past four years, and have stood in dan
ger of death or damage from flying
fragments of teeth about as long as we
want to. Are they all like that? A
neighbor bought new one this season,
and broke two teeth the first day. Can't
these teeth be more suitably tempered?

TIE standard ration adopted for
mich cows on the Cornell University
farm is daily feed of eight pounds Of
concentrated grain, consisting of a
mixture of two pounds of cotton-seed
meal, tbran two pounds, oats four
pounds, fed with all the hay or cut corn
fodder the cows will eat up clean. If
the cows are small and light, and
haven't capacity to assimilate this ra-
ton, they get less.

annually formed, next to the bark.
Even what we call the sap-wood is
devoid of any real vitality under this
theory, though it performs a sponge
like function in transmitting upwards to
the leaf-buds the water of the soil.
This soil water, as it ascends, dissolves
and carries with it the sugar, aud other
soluble matter in the sap-wood. AS
the " ascending sap" it enters the new
LEAKAGE, and is there " vitalized" for
brief period, and, returning to all parts
of the tree, it constitutes the new
growth, as seen in the frightening of
the branches, and in the deposit of
new layer of wood over all the previous
growth of trunk, limbs and roots. After
each succeeding layer of wood is de.
posted, forming the grain,' there is
no evidence that any of the preceding
layers perform any of the functions
which indicate what we call " life " in
the tree. Portions of it will not take
root as cuttings, nor can they be made
to grow, or form union with growing
parts, by grating. As channels of the
upward flow of sap, they seem to have
a sort of vitality for few seasons in
succession, but that is the only sign of
life which they exhibit.

The present method of allowing dogs
to go at large, and collecting a tax from
their owners TO pay for the ravages they
commit, is altogether insufficient. The
tender-hearted dog-owner cares nothing
for the feelings, any more than for the
pocket, of the tender-hearted sheep
owner. In more than half the cases
the sheep-killing dog is not detected,
and cannot be. When detected, the
compensation allowed by law is INSULT
cient, because the damage extends
widely beyond the mere bodily injury
to individual sheep. Many sheep in
the flock, though not bitten, are prac-
tically made nearly worthless, and
Strengthening all over the country is
discouraged by the risk of such raids.
There is and can be no sufficient rem
edy for this great evil other than effec-
tive and well-enforced laws, requiring
dogs, like other domestic animals. to
be kept strictly upon their owners
premises. 1t is just as practical to
have dog yard as it is to have a hog
yard; and just as easy to keep the dog
in it. The dog will dig and the hog
will root, but there are means to coun-
teract the efforts of both. What we
want is law that will do the business.

The Old Dominion Will Run.

As foreshadowed in our last
issue, the call for meeting be-
tween Superintendent Barry, of
the Old Dominion Copper Co., and
employees, was for the purpose of
announcing reduction of wages,
made necessary by the heavy
decline in the price of copper. Mr..
Barry stated, in few words, that
the company proposed a reduction
OF twenty-five cents in the wages
of men who had been receiving
50 25, and that the pay of all those
RECEIVING more than So SO would
be cut ten per cent. If the men
accepted the reduction more coke
would be ordered and work con-
tinued. If not, the supply of
coke OH hand would be used up and
the works closed down.
1t required only few minutes
for the men to arrive at 4 decision !,
They took the sensible view of the
situation, and announced that they
would go to work, realizing the
prostration of mining every where
throughout the west, and the diff
ffculty of procuring work.
Since last week there has been
further decline in copper Ito $40
at $50 for Lake, but it Is not
likely to change the determination
of the Old Dominion Company, as
it is semi-officially reported that
operations here will continue re-
gardless of any fluctuations likely
to occur in the price of copper.
There is at this writing over 800
900 pounds of coke between Will
cox and Globe.-Silver BAlt.

Many men think that newspaper

Many men think that newspaper
men are PERSISTENT dunners. By
way of comparison, let us suppose
farmer raises one thousand bushels
of wheat year, and sells TO one
thousand persons in all parts Of the
country, a greater portion of them
saying: 81 will hand you a dollar
in a short time" The farmer does
not want to be small, and says
"All right" Soon the one thous-
and bushels are gone, hut he has
nothing to show for it, and he then
realizes that he has fooled away his
whole crop, and its value is due
him in thousand little driblets,
consequently he is serio usly en-
barrassed in his business, because
his debtors, each owing him one
dollar, treat it as small matter
and think it would not help much.
Continue this kind Of business year
in and year out as the pub Usher
does, how long would he stand it

vince anyone that publisher has
cause for PERSISTENT dunning.-Ex.

/. Salter, secretary of the Mesa
Consolidated Canal Compsny, which
is the company represented by A.
|J. Chandler, was in Florence Q
couple of days this weeka. He
came over for the purpose 70 in
vsstigate the work at the Buttes
and for other purposes. As re-
suit of his visit the force OF men
who have been working At the
Buttes have heen laid off. But
this does not mean that the idea OF
building dam at that point has
be-D abandoned This company.
like SO many others, has besn
severely cramped by the prevailing
stringency and it has become .
necessity with them to cut down
their expenses until times become
easier. Besides, there was ne
use of keeping force of men to
work there now, for the reason
that it is not positively known
how far it is to bed rock. When
work is resumed proper machinery
will be put in to determine how far
it is to bed rock. John Westfall
has been employed to stay at the
Buttcs and do work enough to bold
the location, thus showing that the
company has no intention of aban-
doning the work. Mr.. Salter laft
the impression that when work vas
resumed it would be with the IN
tention of building the dam as soon
as possible--Enterpsise.

Several experts have pronounced
the claims as pos 'ess;ng merit
