RAN A VERMONT BANK.
But western Dealings Got the Firm into
Difficulties.

Rutland, VT, Aug. 14.-S. M. Dorr &
Sons, who did western bond and mort
gage brokerage business here and ran
a bank at Bristol, in this state, filed pc
titions in insolvency today Their
schedules show liabilities aggregating
s142, ,s74, of which $50, 900 is secured and
assets of the nominal value of $241, 1884,
80. Of which S7s, ,936 is pledged as collat-
eral. The stringency in the money mar
ket caused this action. The SECURITIES
sold are of course, not affected. 1t is
impossible to say definitely what the as
sets will pay, as much depends upon the
way,in which they are handled and the
future of the financial world.

Florida Horses.

l shall endeavor to show that good
horses can be profitably raised here, writes
Gen. p. Houston, in Florida Life While
l have stated the fact that good horses
are raised here with very little care or
attention. am decidedly of the opinion
that much better horses can be raised
here with greater care and attention, and
l do not wished to be understood as con-
troverting an undeniable fact, that one
of the greatest elements Of success in
stock raising consists in careful and Judi
ciOus feeding, and am also of the opinion
that it will not be profitable to keep more
stock than can be well cared for. That this
can be done at a very small expense com
pared with other countries IL is my desire
TO show. From April to January the nat
ural pasture or grazing lands afford an
abundance of nutritious grasses and the
horses require no additional feed. From
January until April a very good and cheap
pasturage can be made by planting rye
and oats in October, and this, supple
mented by the addition Of a small graf n
ration, will keep the stock in thrifty con-
ditiOn. It is often supposed that horses,
in this climate, do not grow as large as in
more northern sections. My observation
teaches me to the contrary-that in nine
cases out Of ten the colts grow to a larger
size than their sires and dams, and have
repeatedly heard il remarked that in
form and style, Florida raised horses ex-
Gel all others, and in durability and docil-
ity they are acknowledged 10 be unex-
celled.

as much as possible all the year through
and so tempt them 10 eat as much as they
have the ability TO convert into mutton
and wool They will do well-that Is
comparatively speaking-on poorer food
than will keep other animals in condition,
for the reason that they masticate it
more thoroughly, and go get the last bit
OF sustenance from 1t, but this is not a
reason for Withholding good food from
them, for the better they are fed and
cared for the better return will they give.
Sheep kept only for scavengers are not

Young Housekeeper: GlyCerine is one
of the most useful and misunderstood of
everyday assistants, 1t must not be APP
piled to the skin undiluted or it will cause
il to become red and hard, but if rubbed
well into the skin while wet it has a

Equal parts of bay rum and glycerine ap-
piled TO the face after shaving makes man
rise up and call the woman who provided
it blessed. Applied to the shoes, glycerine
is a great preservativs of the leather, and
effectually keeps out water and prevents
wet feet. a few drops of glycerine put
in the fruit jars the last thing before seal
ing them helps to keep the preserves from
moulding on top For fatulency there is
no better remedy than teaspoonful of
glycerine after each meal
Whether a farmer makes money from
pigs must depend largely on the kind of
sow he selects as a breeder. She must be
long bodied, and must have a plentiful
supply of teats. For this reason it is very
important that she be neither stunted nor
fattened. 1t is the sows that uniformly
breed from 10 to 10 or IA at a litter that
give most profit. No sow living can long
keep such a litter supplied from her own
teats. If she does it till they are a week
or ten days old, the pigs at that age will
ular feed of sweet milk warmed to ami
NAL heat given little and often through
the day. This will prevent too heavy a
strain on the SOW. She sould
have nourishing food, but not fattening,
though a small proportion of corn meal
will do no harm while the pigs are get
ting most of their nourishmeut from the
dam. The SOW will not fatten on it. All
the fattening properties OF the corn will
go into the milk II the sow be fed right
she should produce three filters per year
This litter has been dropped. The pigs
should be weaned not later than six
weeks old. They will eat heartily at this
time, and the dam carrying a second lit
ter needs to give all her available strength
to giving them vigorous bodies and n
habit of thriftiuess. Only a SOW two
years or older should be bred three times
a year. For yearhng sows two filters
year are enough.

gence with which Il is managed, and
there is such a variety OF products and
50 many different ways Of management
that every taste can be satisfied.
we believe that many young men are
turned away from the farm from another
cause than that they want TO be rich, and
think that they can see a shorter cut 10 a
competency in some other calling, and
these are the young men who value culture
and intelligence above money They have
met so many farmers uncouth in dress,
speech and manners that they have come
To think of the farmer as a boor and the
calling as degrading.
In this they labor under a mistake, for
while 1t is true that many men without
refinement are farmers it is not the call
ing that has made them so, but because
they made no effort 20 improve them
selves. The young man on the farm
who wishes to improve his mind has
fewer temptations to fritter away his
time and more time for study and inn
prOvement than he would have in most
other callings. His work brings him
face to face with wonderful problems
connected with the growth, development
and habits of animals and plants, and
every day he can devote an hour or more
to useful reading. His evenings are un-
interrupted and his winters a time of
comparative leisure, and there is nothing
to hinder him from becoming man of in
telllgence, at least well-infOrmed on the
current topic of the day and the subject
pertaining to the management of his own
calling, and this is as much as any man
outside of the learned professions can ex-
pect. If money was the best thing in life
we would not advise most young men to
settle on the farm, but as comfort and
competency, and the development of right
character, are better than riches, and the
farm under intelligent management Sc
cures these without a doubt, we rejoice to
see intelligent young men choose farming
as their calling

matches we would advise them 10 keep
up good deal Of thinking, even If il is
necessary to take an hour more at noon
ing time to- getu the thinking apparatus
IN good working order, says the Texas
Farmer. A man can do a good deal of
agricultural thinking while guiding the
plOw or riding on a disc harrow, because
the work and thought are akin one is the
outwOrd and visible expression Of the
other; and it is well enough at such
times TO leave politics out of the combi-
nation, for there is more or less incom-
patibility between current politics and
honest labor. We know some farmers
who erstwhile were doing we'll, but now
their fields are like those of the sluggard
overgrOwn with weeds and thistles, and
cockle-burrs and tie-vines, and behold
they are narrowing the political
fields with verbose bosh, and advising
the multitude to spend only their spare
time in their fields. One cannot run a
play political chin music on the street
corners. He cannot hope to make and
market good crop, while whOoping up a
political upstart, or while trying to be
one himself The ballot box is the place
for farmers to fight their political bat
ties, and they should get their ammuni-
tion ready and when the time comes be
ready TO use II. But II is by no means
necessary that they be drilled by day and
by night by political martinets. Let not
the farmers be an army acting under or
ders, and knowing only to obey, but let
every man fight from the bulwark of his
own fig tree in his own way, having his
own base of supplies. his own commissary
and quartermaster's stores, and perhaps
it would be wise to provide these sinews
of war before the next election, as there
may be a large number of scrub politi-
clans who need killing
