The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1893-02-08

THAT same Professor Henry is a
pretty sound man on the questions of
the farm. He says: We have all
heard of the man who hired his boys to
go to bed at night without their suppers
and then stole the pennies from their
pockets while they were asleep. judy
ing from the appearance of the cattle
as we see them in the barnyards and
bleak fields in winter time, this man has
relatives on farms scattered all over our
land. The Yankee spirit of driving
sharp bargains and the effort to get
something from nothing is not confined
TO the traders in our cities, but is found
in country as well. There is altogether
too much OF a spirit to pinch our cattle
TO save little at the feed bin. 1t
would seem that there are many of our
stockmen who do not yet realize the
great law OF nutrition which requires
that an animal must first have a certain
amount of food to maintain the body
functions, and that this want must be
supplied first of all, lest the animal go
backward. OF this food there can be
no possible return to the owner, either
in the way of growth or fat. This is
the food of support. Next comes the
food of growth or fat, which, added 10
that of maintenance, brings the profit
TO the feeder. An animal can not con-
sumo more than twice the food of sup.
port, so that it is the second half OF
what is fed when full ration is given
that brings the profit"
ANY farmer of much experience has
had opportunities of realizing the truth

heading" Watch the Stables -; Chow
important it is to make a visit to thu
stables before retiring. And yet how
few farmers make this habit. Man,

ease thaG has escaped the attention o

PROFESSOR HENRY of the Wisconsin
Agricultural College seems TO have a
realizing sense of the meaning Of
horns on the heads of cattle, which it
would be well if some of the opponents
of dehorning should have an equal OPP
portunity of getting posted on. He
says: "My opinion on the value of
horns on bull just now is pretty posi-
tive. Last Sunday l was in the pasture
looking at some pigs, and as turned to
go to the gate looked behind me and
cav Jersey bull not over twenty feet
away with his head down making for
me. i had on light. colored overcoat,
which apparently did not suit his royal
highness, and he thought best to put it
out of the way even if it made me un.
comfortable. In an instant calculated
the distance to the gate, which was
locked, and thought of the barb wire on
top of it, and realized that that way oil
escape was out of the question. re
moved the coat, and, seeing tree be-
hind which could dodge close by, re-
solved to stand my ground. The frs
stone l threw weighed about three
pounds and struck the animal fairly il
the head and dazed him for moment
and in short time l had him running
But his horns were cut off, and thinl
he realized that his weapons were gone

horned bull as did then. If / mus

By working for q government telegraph
system we are serving the people Of all
classes, and opening up avenues Of en-
ployment for idle printers. In the last
analysis, this battle must be fought at
the only place where antique laws and
unique judicial decisions have not yet
placed the mudsills of society at a disRd-
vantage at the ballot box.

be about 26,OO0,OOO bushels.

What 0humps! !

The army Of idlers are rapidly increas-
ing, at an alarming rate. AS large as it
now is, 1t will DO much larger. During
the war John Sherman fathered q bill in
congress to advertise the advantages of
this country and the high wages paid
workingmen. Twenty-Five thousand dol
lars were appropriated for paying for the
printing Of pamphlets, circulars and post
ers in foreign languages, and the cheap
labor countries Of the old world were liter
ally covered with them. John Sherman
in his speech introducing that bill argued
that capital must be encouraged, and in
addition to the Morrill, tariff must have
cheaper labor, that wages were too high.
These are facts. Congressional records
prove it. The same Internal skunk, along
with others Of his ilk, are now working to
give cheap labor to capitalists. With
ten men after one job wages will soon be
cheap enough. ALI the great railroads
and other corporations are now saying
wages must come ,down-and they will
come down.
But what chumps the people arel
Capital asks for fRvors and gets them.
congressman start in poor and come
out rich, Notwithstanding their election
and other expenses amount to far more
than their salary.
Labor petitions and petitions for few
OF its rights and gets snubbed for it's
pains.
Our Servants" couldn't grow rich IL
they needed the petitions.
Congressman prefer to 'stand in" with
the plutOcrats. BY doing so, they get
portion Of the wealth stolen faom labor
by and through unjust laws.
But, We repeat what chumps the work
ers are.
They elect corporation tools to Office
and then expect these pimps to pass laws
beneficial to the great mass Of our
people.
They saddle themselves and the FLUTES
get on and ride-Rnd, sometimes, we feel
like saying we don't blame the FLUTES one
bit; for the man who saddles himself and
invites another to got on and ride, ought
not complain if the man accepts the in
vitation.-Ch Chicago Sentinel.

STATE COMPARED WITH AVERAGE,

While conditions in large portion Of
the state have been in q high degree un-
favorable to corn, potatoes, etc., the
forage crops Of western Kansas have
maintained condition which promises
an abundance for stock in most counties
Of that section of the state.

Miners and laborers are requested,to
stay away from the Black Hills, s. D., as
business is completely at stsndstill and
over 400 miners are seeking employment,
and there are no indications that they
will succeed in finding work while the
present depression continues. There is
no chance Of men lettering their condi-
ton by crowding in this direction.

Seed or No Seed.

EDITOR ADvoCATE:-As there seems to
be some misunderstanding about the
manner OF procedure and probability Of
obtaining on some terms seed wheat for
those who are at present unable to pay
cash for the same, thought to write q
letter of inquiry in order, If possible, to
get more light on the subject.
First we were told to send our appli-
cations in through the Alliance, and all
that could be, would be done. Soon
after sending in our applications, Judge
GrinsteRd was sent Rs committeeman
from several Of the western counties.
He says he visited the railroad officials
and secured the promise Of free transpor-
tation under regulations upon which
they would agree among themselves.
He visited the implement factories, but
they would do nothing, pleading their
inability to aid in any way. He then
went to the governor. The governor
and other state officials received him
courteously, and adopted his plan which
was briefly as follows: Solicitors to be
appointed by the governor, to obtain il
possible, wheat to be loaned to those
needing it, to be returned to lender after
one year, with interest Of 8 per cent, and
an additional 5 per cent. to cover losses.
In this condition he let the subject
rest, but 10! the plan is changed, the
governor sends out letters to the county
clerks, requesting those in need Of seed
to send in their applications for dona-
tions.
Now why these changes? The people
Of the west are as Independent, and in
many cases fully as we'll of as the men
who do the work in the eastern part of
the state, and ] believe voice the senti-
ment Of a large majority, when / say
that without solicitation they would not
ask aid from anybody, but they have
had a total failure, most Of them are in
debt, and many Of them cannot seed
their ground this fall unless in some way
they can procure assistance FOR which
they are entirely willing to secure their
benefactorB to the best of their ability.
What the people want to know is not
will you donate us seed to SOW our farms,
but will you on any reasonable terms
loan us wheat, and il 80, what are those
conditions. THEODORE DODGE.

AUGUST CROP REPORT.
What the State Board of Agriculture
Knows About Crops.

from reports OF correspondents or Gnlh
board, numbering about 600, and repre-
senting every county in the state, the
following facts with reference to sgri
cultural conditions. ETC., in Kansas
August 81, are derived.
The increase in the corn area by rea'
son Of wheat over that reported by the
assessors is given as follows:
In the eastern belt, s per cent.
In the central belt, 20 per cent.
In the western belt, % per cent.
This is equivalent to 1873 per cent. on
the entire area reported by assessors, OF
762yS2l acres, making total area planted
to corn this year of {, 6,227,O67 acres.
The condition Of corn is reported as
follows:
Eastern belt 80 per cent, q loss Of 1C
points since last report Of August l.
Central belt, so per cent, loss Of
eight points.
In the western belt but little corn Is
grown and outside of the northern tier
Of counties there is practically none.
The average condition for the eastern
and central belts is So per cent, loss oi
ten points during the month.
The decline in the condition Of corn in
the eastern belt is chiefly in the south
half and largely in the southern and
southeastern counties. Cowley, Elk and
Crawford are among those lowest in con-
dltion.
In the north half of the belt, Brown,
Doniphan, Atchison, jackson, Leaven-
worth and NemshR counties report the
condition above the average.
The best corn is in the north half OF
the central belt, and the lowest condi-
tion is in the south half. There are,
however, counties in all sections Of the
belt which report very low condition,
notably Cloud and Republic in the north,
Dickinson, MCPHERSON and Rice in the
central, and still further south all the
counties report very low condition.
The cause Of this heavy decline is dry
weather and chinch bugSduring the 6rst
two or three weeks Of August. Some
counties report no rain OF any conse-
quence during August. Others none
until the last week.
Rains generally in the central belt and
in the south half Of the eastern belt
we're local, 80 that in many counties
good corn is reported in some portions,
while in other portions of the same
county the crop is an utter failure.
Chinch bugs are reported doing seri-
GUS damage wherever the rainfall was
light, and especially in the cornfelds ad-
jscent to wheat and on wheat ground
planted to corn.
Whest-Further yields Of wheat re
ported by threshers are given by our
correspondents, and these reports indi-
cate still lower yield than that which
was reported month ago. These yields
indicate total wheat product for the
state Of about 100000 bushels.
Oats-The yields as sreported by thresh-
srs show an average yield in the eastern
belt Of twenty-three bushels. In the
central belt the yield averages nine BUSH

FOR GOVERNMENT TELEGRAPHY.
The International Typographical Union
Takes a Hand.

Ii 6ne nGern8uOnRl convention OF
great organization can commit its mem
bers to any policy the Typographical
Union is committed to the support Of q
government telegraph system. And
judging by the following from the Sep
tember 1 issus-Uf the Typographical
Journal, there will be some earnest work
done in the direction pointed out by the
convention:
sin obedience to an instruction OF the
late convention, President Prescott has
appointed Messrs. A. L. Randall, A. Fl.
Bell, VIM. McCabe, j. w. Usilton and
Geo. A. Tracey, all Of Washington, d.
c., q committee to forward with energy
everything that will tend to secure the
passage Of q bill having for its object
the governmental ownership and opera
tiOn of our telegrsphie system. The
committee has not as yet decided upon
plan Of campaign, and, Notwithstanding
this is new departure in international
policy, we confidently bespesk for it the
hearty CO operation Of our members.
Some few of strong individuRlistic ten
denotes may reprobate the international's
action, but we feel assured it will be
heartily commended by the vast ma
jority.
"It seems to US that all enterprises
which are in their nature monopolistic,
should be owned and operated by the
people for the people, and not by soul
less corpoGrRcies for the sggrsndizsment
Of few men chiefly notable for their dis
regard Of the public'S rights and human
and divine laws in their mad race for the
riches that perisheth. 1t Is only neces-
ssry to remember that he who controls
our telegraph system controls the great
news avenues to be convinced that gov
ernment ownership of this particular
function is especially desirable. It is
generally accepted that under our pres
ent system irresponsible parties exercise
a news censorship and color all import
ant items to suit their purpose. This sf-
fects no class so ipjuriously as the wage
esrners, who are continually subjected
to the grossest and most malignant mis-
representations.
"But this question is Of peculiar inter
est to printers, etc. as such. The system
Of franchises in vogue by reason Of an
agreement between the press associations
and telegraph companies practically
limits the number Of newspapers, thereby
depriving capital and labor of profitable
employment at that industry in which
we are 30 vitslly interested. Under gov
ernment supervision there would not be
a discrimination in rates, and all who
desire to engage in the publication Of
newspapers would have a fair field and
no favor.
Every member of the international
union should assist the committee with
the work it has on hand, and those who
believe that the aim Of true government
is to obtain the greatest good for the
greatest number are expected and par
ticulRrly urged to exert themselves in
bringing this service to the front. On
reflection, a thousand ways of doing 30
will suggest themselves. The timid and
ultra conservative, who may foolishly en-
tertain an aversion to being designated
socialists or anarchists, either of which
will certainly be hurled ct us By the de-

posals to loan such money in sums of
$500 or over, and will issue certificates
for same, payable June Is, 1894. Pro-
