This is an editorial from the Vermont
Waterman, a republican sheet read by
most of the rock-ribbed republicans OF
Vermont Read it:
But" some will say, what if Hen
~ Georges views as to the ownership
of land should prevail?" We have stud
led those doctrines for some years, and
believe that the time will come-not
very soon, perhaps-when it will be
recognized that Georges ideas on the
tenure Of land are far more advapta-
geous to the improving farmer than the
present system. The farmers shy away
from Georges ideas at first, because
they are not understood. When they
are fully comprehended we think it will
be seen that under them land tenure
for the farming class will not only be
more equitable. but safer, more endur-
ing and more beneficial to the farmers
themselves than the present system.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.

THE harrow and the roller are among
the most important of the farm tools.
Without the liberal use of both, the
small grain crops can hardly be put in
properly.
To LEARN any trade thoroughly re-
quires study as we'll as practice--head
work as well as hand work. Our boys
should be Taught that farming is no ex-
ception to this rule.
If you have not already done so, it
would be well to examine your granary
now and make sure that it is rat proof.
1t will not pay to hold grain if the
rodents have free access to it.
EVERY farm should have a good gar
den. This is comparatively easy now,
as garden tools are made SO that al
most every operation of its cultivation
can be performed by horse power.
THE potato crop will always be a
profit BILE one if intensive methods of
cultivation be applied. When one
grows three hundred bushels per acre
it is difficult to avoid fair profit.
MILLEr is of very great value to the
dairyman. when properly grown and
harvested In planning for nextVsea-
sons crops try and arrange for field
of it. If you have no silo, this will to
some extent make amends in the win
ter feeding.
MONEY judiciously spent upon i'm
proving the farm will usually earn a
better dividend than when placed in
bank. Do not be too saving to have
good barns, good tools, good stock and
everything that will help the farm to
make more money.
ONE or two acres of well-selected
and well-cultivated fruits will go far
toward supplying the ordinary house
hold expenses. A little land devoted
to such purposes always makes an APP
preciabie addition to the cash income,
and will repay the labor needed to Sc
cure it
No METHOD of farming will pay. in

constantly to the value and productive
ness of the land. EARNING don't pay"
because many steadily neglect this
phase of their business, and so let the
farm depreciate with each succeeding

Tap the Trunk Of a Tree.

The Christian Union says: THE Tax
Reform association is composed of men
more or less in sympathy with Henry
Georges proposition to impose all taxes
on land values 1t demands the repeal
of all taxes upon personal property.
Its fundamental error is brought out by
the picture which serves as the frontis-
pieces to its book. A farmer and his
boys are getting the sap from q tree
whose trunk is marked real estate and
whose branches are marked manu-
facturers,' business capital personal
property incomes wages etc. The
boys are boring at the branches; the
old farmer gets his sap from the trunk
of the tree. The moral is stated thus;
when the trunk d tapped, each branch
ID drawn upon for it's due proportion OF
sap This is very clever, but utterly
false. The farmers in this country
have only one-fourth OF the wealth, but
they have one-half of the real estate.
The tapping of the trunk would take
as much sap from their quarter Of the
wealth as from the three-quarters be-
longing to the people In the towns"
The Christian Union is greatly in err
ror in saying that the association in
question is composed of men favorable
to the Henry George theory. Such is
not the case. Mr. George would destroy
land ownership. . proposition hostile
TO the views of almost all the members
of the tax reform movement The en-
forcement of Georges notions would
revolutionize society as organized, while
tax reform would simply wipe out an

ENERGY IN WATER.
To Turn 1t Into Light, Heat and Power
Now Interesting Scientists.

To Turn 1t Into Light, Heat and Power Il
Now Interesting Scientists.
One of the most interesting processes
now going on is the conversion of water
into light, heat and power. The great
obstacle in the way of cheap electric
lights and power has been the cost OF
coal and other fuel. But all over the
northwest water is being utilized for
running electric plants This plan was
adopted as an experiment some time
ago. It was then noted as a novelty
from which no important results might
be expected. An electrician who has
recently been looking over Montana
and the northwestern states finds
that everywhere water-powers are
being taken up and utilized to
create electricity. So cheap is this
process that the use of coal Is
out of the question. No light and power
can be created SO cheaply as that where
q mountain stream has been made to do
the work. What was an experiment
short time ago has now become one OF
the most remarkable industrial devel-
opments of the time. -
In nearly all the northwestern states
which are hilly or mountainous these
water powers are abundant Swift
streams are flowing down everywhere.
These are just what the electricians
want Finding a stream anywhere
within five or ten miles of thriving
town. they are ready to light that town
and furnish power cheaper than it ever
could be furnished by the use of coal
This, to a great extent, is the practical
solution of the question of cheap lights,
heat and power. 1t will not be avail-
able in many large cities, although it
has never been settled as to the distance
that this power can be transmitted with
economy.
But just where coal is dear id many
of the small towns there is a prospect
that light. heat and power will be
cheap The neglected streams that
were thought of little consequence have
already assumed such Importance as
they never had before. AS; long as
electrical energy was generated from
coal there seemed to be q great him
drance to its universal use. But if
every little mountain stream is to be
utilized, then, next to good coal mines,
these streams will become of the great
est importance. What was hardly more
than an experiment three years ago has
been carried to such practical success
that electricians are now saying, give
us q good mountain stream and we will
insure cheap lights and power, and even
heat, without the use of pound OF
fuel-San Francisco Bulletin.
