The Wilson Tariff.

The American Economist publishes
the following from well known Wind
sor, Vt, county manufacturers rela-
tive to the Wilson tariff measure:
We regard the Wilson tariff bill as calcula-
ted to produce an unfaYorable effect upon
the prosperity of the country. Ifenacted, its
effect upon our business-the manufacture of
fannels-would prove disastrous. The sharp
discrimination made against blankets, fan
nels for underwear. etc, seems to us indefensi-
bic and unjust. Whatever rate may be Sc
lected, we have a right to expect an impartial
application. We think under the proposed
bill that wages would be materially reduced
below their present level and the purchasing
power of the people further decreased.

FARMERS ETING.

The Board of Agriculture met at
johnson last week Tuesday and elect
ed II. A. Beecher of Johnson, chair
man.
Mr.. Foster of Johnson gave a very
cordial welcome to the board and as
sured them of the confidence of the
citizens and farming community OF
the county. Chairman Beecher sup
plemented the address of welcome
with few fitting remarks.
Mr.. Winslow, secretary of the board,
opened the meeting with an address
on the ''Outlook for horse breeding"
He SAID that he had been informed
that there were already too many
horses raised in this section, and he
uueried if this was the case, if only
the right class of horses were pro-
duced. 1t might be equally true that
too many cows were being raised, but
it's only true on the principle that it's
too many of the kind produced, and
it is always true that the best ami
mails will always sell for good prices.
Farmers should not try to raise trot-
tiers, for they don't need them, but
now is a good time for farmer to
go to raising good horses, and it will
surely pay. There is no man who, if
he desired a good, cheerful driver,
with courage and endurance, will take
anything elseif he can get Morgan;
and my advice to you is to stick to
what you Vermonters can do better
than can be donein any other section
of our land.
Mr.. Sinclair-H How do you feed your
colts and horses?
Oats is a good muscle producing
food. | am now feeding all my colts
and horses on the floor and find it a
good thing for horse to reach down
for it's food. For work horses l like
to feed cracked corn.
Do you like to feed dry corn fodder
to horses
l think it would be all right to feed
dry fodder for change.
What do you feed a weanling colt L?
Bran and oats and sweet skim milk.
Mr.. Hayward-Did you ever feed
sour milk ?
No. Did you?
Yes, have fed six quart pan of
thick sour milk with good results.
Do you think it safe to feed four
quarts of oats day to weanling
colt a.?
Yes, perfectly safe. If you feed high
you must give exercise at the same
time.
Will a colt do well in summer if fed
high in winter
Don't stop your grain feed at once;
when you turn out to grass keep it
up for some time.
Mr. Beecher-Should horses be wat-
cred before feeding grain or after
l prefer to water before feeding

persons outright and injuring number OF
others.
The train was the regular bound for Ports

car was too late, and the span went down

tered TO pieces. The water in the creek had
risen to the depth Of twelve or more feet and
1t Is the general belief that the rise had un-
,lermined the foundation OF the iron piers,
causing the trestle to settle.
On the tran at the time wers about six
teen persons. including the train hands. but
only one OF the latter-Conductor II. Morris,
OF Portsmouth-was killed. mona OF the

were lust like me, when would the millennium
come-the day OF lions triumph. when there
shall be one Lord, and his name one; every
knee bowing. and every tongue confessing to
Him alone? Alas have I not too much rea-

CHRISTIAN. BE EARNEsT IN DOING G6oD.

Blessed are they who SOW beside all waters.
Oh, Christian! time, time is passing away
Opportunities are going, will soon be gone!
We shall soon be at ne bar Of God. The
Christian who means to do all he can, will
say, "What can do this week.-Mrs. day
this hour?' This Is the genius OF earnest
ness. Are there any sick to be visited2 Are
there any poor to be relieved2 Are there
any serious? Go, my SOUL and see. Delay
not to speak q, word of encouragement; di-
rect that soul to Christ. Does the Sabbath
school need teacher? here am ready and
willing. What can do for Jesus my Savior?
'Whatever thy hand findeth to do, do it with
thy might"
Nettleton was man OF power with men,
because he was 50 much in earnest. He suf-
fered no opportunity to slip till he had said
word. They were as nails fastened;in sure
place. Soon after his conversion he had the
most intense desire to. be instrumental in the
salvation of his fellow-men. He would often
say to himself IF I might be the means OF
saving one soul, I should prefer it to all the
riches and honors of this world" He was in
the habit Of frequently looking forward to
eternity, and saying, sWhat shall I wish 1
had done thousands and millions OF years
hence?"

BREAKFAST POTATO CAKE.

Let me ask you to try the frying-pan
for the following recipe, writes Mar
garet Compton. have found that it
gives better results than soapstone
griddle. As the secret of success lies
more in the cooking than in the max
ing, I give direction for both:
Take one-half pound of mashed
potato, three ounces of -four, milk
Slightly warm, little butter and one
half teaspoonful Of baking powder.
Have the potato finely mashed, being
sure there are no Jumps in it. Some
use an egg. I never do. When the
mixture is a smooth dough roll it
out two inches thick. Have your
frying-pan hot as for steak. When
it is well buttered and drained
drop your cake gently into it, set it
where it will cook steadily, but not too
fast. Have large plate ready, one
that will fit into the pan. See that 1t
is hested "piping-hot." When your
cake has beea on about four or five
minutes place the hot plate over 1t,
turn it out and slide it back into the
pan. This is to prevent any posi-
=bility of breaking it in turning. Cook
five minutes more and test it by press
ing the sides lightly with the finger.
If it remains dented it is not done.
When cooked, turn out on the hot
plate, butter lavishly and serye:-St.

Thousands OF snails of All Sizes.

There are over 1000 species of snails
and they are found in all parts of the
world. Somc arc even smaller than .
pin head, while others, in France and
italy, for instance, are cultivated for
food and are large enough to maize o
good mouthful. Snails are vegetarians,
and have jaws and tongues of saw-like
edge, the number of points on each
running into the thousands. On the
approach of cold weather the snail
throws film over the mouth of its
shell, which tightens like drumhead.
As it becomes colder other films are
added on the plan of storm windows:
Extensive drouth will cause the snail
to close it's doors in the same way to
prevent the evaporation of its bodily
moisture and dry up. These little anil
mails arc possessed of astonishing vi
tality, regaining activity after having
been frozen in solid blocks of ice and
enduring a degree of heat for weeks
which daily crisps vegetation.
