Recent discoveries have demonstrated that
all the organs OF the body are under the con-
frol Of the nerve centers, located In or near
the hasa of toe brain, and that when these are
deranred the ,rganS which they supply with
nerve fluid are also deranged. When 1t Is re,

More Remarkable Trees.

Agricultural Editor: l have the ma
terial for some pretty big stories about
some pretty big and curious trees that
have come under my observation in my
lifetime, but have no great ability to
put it in readable form. However, /
will give you some facts and figures
that may do just as well. In the first
place, will describe maple tree that
l cut on my farm in 1856. TWAS four
feet four inches in diameter on the
stump, and the body was just as straight
as gun-b barrel and as round as though
it had been turned. After we had
squared the butt, it was little over
sixty-seven feet to the first limb. 1t
was thirty-six inches through thirty six
feet from the butt, and seventeen
inches through at the top sixty-seven
feet from the butt, or seventy feet from
the ground to the first limb, and little
over ninety feet from the ground to the
top of the tree. This tree would have
squared forty-four inches at butt and
twelve inches at top. l told this story
to the late James Fisk of Mortified,
who had cut hiptimber all over the
state. He said he had never found a
tree that would equal it. The next big
tree l cut the same year was a hemlock.
1t stood thirty feet east of this same
maple, and was just the same big
ness on stump, fitty.two inches in d.
ameter. 1t was also perfectly straight,
and l cut eight twelve-foot logs. Where
| cut the last log at top it was twelve
inches in diameter, and would have
squared forty-four inches at butt, and
eight inches at top, ninety-six feet
long, and as sound as a nut. There
were about two feet more of sound
wood above the eight twelve-foot logs
and sixteen feet of dead top, the bark
and limbs all gone. From the stump
to where the tip.top of this tree struck
the ground was lis feet. There were
three fourths of a cord of bark on this
tree after it had remained in the pile
all summer. The third tree was an
elm; it stood 100 rods west of the ma
pie and hemlock on land belonging to
The late Peter Johonnott, Esq, and he
paid Mr.. Lindsey, now of Montpelier,
for cutting fourteen and one-half cords
tour-foot wood, and had left on the
ground enough big chunks to make one
and one-half cords more. l do not
know how big this tree was on the stump,
nor how tall it was; but think it must
have been four feet in diameter, sixty
or seventy feet from the ground, and
probably as big tree as ever grew in
Washington county. The fourth tree
is the twin naples on land formerly
belonging to the late John Wilson.
These NAPLES come out of the ground
about two feet apart and grow perfectly
straight for twenty-five or thirty feet,
at just the same distance apart, and
then come together and form one solid
straight body of twenty or twenty-five
inches in diameter twenty-five or thirty
feet above the union. The two trees
below the union are, one, twelve or
fourteen inches, and the other sixteen
or eighteen inches, in diameter, and
have the appearance of being quite old
trees. All these trees grow from one
half to one mile west of the top of Mill
stone hill quarries. READER.

THE Canadian Liye Stock Journal
says: 1.-THE idea that seems firmly fixed
in the agricultural mind is that the best
smith is the man whose shoes remain
on the longest, without wearing out or
or coming off, and as the smith is
shrewd enough to know that the man
at the other end of the village would
cater for this market, he puts on an
enormous weight of iron, or steels the
shoes, and goes in for high mailing
This ruins The feet, causes lameness,
and is the very reverse of economical
Even if not worn out, it is desirable to
to have shoes removed at least once in
six weeks"

our Elmore correspondent is an expert
in the business, as he says his beans
are extra choice" When beans are
thus alternated on the same ground
with onions, we think the result is a
benefit to both crops. The onions be-
ing sown only alternate years, the onion
maggot does not increase 80 fast; and
even the onion crop does, we believe,
do better when not grown continuously
on the same ground, Notwithstanding
the popular belief to the contrary. If
the beans are handled carefully, the
straw is extremely useful as food for
sheep, or for COWS. We have also
found it the best of all mulch for fruit
trees, as its presence around the trees
does not attract mice, as other straw is
apt to do, while its decay greatly en-
riches the ground.

ENGLISH farmers have had hard
year-in fact very discouraging year,
judging from the following review taken
from the Leeds, Eng, Mercury: " 1t is

been called the black year of agrcul-

SOME very risky practices in garden
ing and fruit-growing are occasionally
recommended in the newspapers by
correspondents. The following, from
the pen of correspondent, appears in
the Tribune: Give years ago leased
some land, with fourteen damson plum
trees. The owner told me they bore
every second year. 1 have had crop
annually. Have applied strong meat
brine and plenty of manure; two gal
Ions brine to each tree; have sold from
$40 to S75 worth of the fruit yearly;
average, S57." Now it is fact that of
all fruit trees the plum is perhaps most
tolerant of salt about its roots. Indeed,
there is one species of this fruit, known
as the " beach plum" (prunus mara
tinD which grows thriftily on the bor-
ders of the sea, where its roots are
bathed in sea-water at every tide. Mod
crate applications of salt seem to bene-
fit some at least of our cultivated plums,
possibly as fertilizer, but more prob
ably by driving away subterranean in
sects which prey upon the roots. But
if grower of plums recklessly applies
salt to his trees, he will be very apt to
regret the deed. We have never tested
how much salt plum.tree will bear in
this way, but it is wise for any grower
to 60 slow in placing salt, or pouring
brine very lavishly, about the roots of
any fruit tree.

AS to the best time to sell, one man
can guess about as well as another. Our
experience has generally been that the
early markets have been better than
the later ones; but that has not been
the case with beans this year, and they
are now considerably higher than in
the fall. We never venture to give
advice on this subject, anyway. We
don't get anything for such advice
when it is good; and what we should
be apt to get when it proves bad is not
such as to encourage the giving of
gratuitous counsel.

to be of no practical value. 1t looks to
a man up tree as though this Sher-
man law was made simply so as to
seem to do something, while doing
nothing. According to this view of
the subject, the state governments can
be controlled by the bribery of state
officials, as seems to be the case in New
Hampshire; and Uncle Sam does not
amount to a row of pins as power to
defend the people against marauding
millionaires. A pretty lookout indeed
for the people, and a pretty comment
on republican form of government!
In the old monarchies such abuses are
universal; but all this was to be cured
when the people ruled. Yet the rule
of the people, as practically revealed
in America, seems to mean simply a
government of the people, by the poll
ticians, for the millionaires. 1t isn't
any worse than this anywhere else,
outside of Turkey and Russia.

THAT excellent periodical, the Mont
real Journal Of agriculture, appears
with the new volume in doubled size,
and neat new topographic dress.
Under the experienced editorial con-
duct of Mr.. Jenner Fust, from small
beginnings and under many discour-
agements it has now, in its fifteenth
year, reached circulation of ten thou
sand, and appears to be destined to
have a constantly widening influence
for good to the agricultural interests of
the Dominion. We have always re-
garded it as among the most interest
ing and practical of our exchanges
keeping us well informed as to what is
going on in the farming world across
the national boundary. The two peo-
pies ought to know each other better
than they do. Each has something to
learn from the other and larger
knowledge is best secured through the
press. The Journal of agriculture is a
semi official publication, issued monthly
under the direction of the commissioner
OF agriculture of Quebec, at 81 year.

A QUESTION is asked about the Red
Kidney as a market bean. All beans,
outside of yellow-eyes, marrows and
peas, huctuate more in price than those
standard sorts. Consequently, though
grower may occasionally get fancy
price on such stock, it is more likely to
be the other way.

Mr.. 7. M. HARRIS, of Elmore, VT,
writes enquiring in regard to the pros
poets of the bean market. He tells us
that he has grown very nice crop, and
naturally wants to obtain the best obtain
able price. We are always very glad
to help forward the interests ofevery one
OF our readers, and especially of those
who are trying to excel in the culture
OF any crop. Beans, we think, might
well be grown in this state on more
extensive scale than at present; but
success will never be attained in this
line by those who hold to the old notion
that beans can be proftably grown ON
poor soil. Our experience, extending
over many years, is that the ground
cannot be too rich, or too we'll cared
for, if profit is sought for from this
crop. We have found them a very
good crop to alternate with onions
using very heavy dressing of manure
for the onions, and drilling in the beans
the next season with not less than one
thousand pounds of a good commercial
fertilizer to the acre.

Mr.. HoRR's remedy is simply de-
mand that private citizens shall do
what both reason and experience shows
that private citizens cannot do-attack
the trusts single-handed, and down
them by the perfunctory assistance of
public officials whom the trusts are
easily able 10 bride, intimidate, or
otherwise control. The Standard Oil
trust ruthlessly ruined, by the aid of
the railroad corporations, hundreds of
competitors, carried on their business
with successful impunity for twenty
years, and now finds that it may defy
the national law against trusts because
it is not in the slightest degree possible
for the people to attack them success
fully, while they have uncounted mil
lions with which to corrupt the law
makers and defy the law. Mr.. Horr's
remedy is no remedy at all, and he is
very we'll aware of the fact. He has not
shown How to Smash the Trusts"
On the contrary, he shows that as
things are they cannot be smashed, ex-
cept by the direct violence of mobs.
Here is wrong without remedy, ac-
cording to the leading newspaper in
the country. Mr. Horn walls out: ",It
is very difficult to enforce laws which
in any way interfere with individuals
in the management of business enter
prises. 1 do so wish that all wicked
ness, all wrong-doing, all robbery of
every description, could be banished
from the world. If it can only be done
by passing law, / will join with any
one in getting such law passed. But
when the law is passed, if it becomes
the duty of all good citizens to make
proper complaints in order that public
officials may execute the law, and 1
live right along every day, knowing
about the violations of the law, and fail
to make my complaint and present it to
the proper officials, will not complain
of them because the law is not ex-

Mr.. HARRIS beans are the improved
yellow eyes, which, with the pea beans,
constitute the bulk of the bean crop
grown in New England. AS to which
is the most profitable to grow, it is
rather hard to determine. The yell
loweye is rarely, if ever, attacked by the
spot or scab fungus, and if grown so
as to have tall strong stems, and then
carefully stacked and protected, rarely
needs much hand-picking. Where
manipulating is necessary, the pea bean,
as they are smaller, cost more to hand
pick than to hand-pick an equal guam
tity of larger variety. But, on the
other hand, pea beans are usually
higher in market than the yelloweye.

him some reliable commission house to

We have shipped beans with satsfac-
tory returns to Charles H. Stone & Co.,
s Chatham Row, Boston; but we find
the home market so scantily supplied
with beans this year as to make the
prices for choice stock rather better
in Vermont than farther southwark.
Choice beans are selected by seedsmen
to sell to those who wish to plant them,
and there is often considerable call,
with advanced price, for extra choice
beans of standard varieties for this pur-
pose; but generally the seedsmen's
stock is grown for them on contract.

Mr.. HARRIS refers to the Portland
market as making higher quotations
than Boston. There is large quantity
of beans sold in Maine to go into the
lumber woods, and that tends to make
quotations in Portland and other Maine
cities rather higher than in Boston;
but the market reports of the Portland
papers are not 30 carefully corrected as
those of the Boston press, and it has
happened that beans were quoted
higher than the market in that city.

THE weekly Tribune, in a recent
issue, has an article by Mr.. r. G. Horn,
under the title "How to Smash the
Trusts" Mr.. Horn is a man whom we
regard as both sincere and able, and a
friend of the people; but he is very
strenuous partisan, and as such can
hardly be relied on to admit or support
anything unfavorable to party interests.
We have read his article with interest.
He excuses the failure of the Sherman
law against trusts by the fact that the
United States cannot legislate on
wrongs limited to single state, and that
the government will not act against
any public evil unless the public will
make the charge, and back it by suffi-
cient evidence. The United States
cannot act in state matters, nor will it
gather evidence or commence an ac-
ton, unless charge is made and backed
up by abundant evidence; and, as no.
body seems sufficiently interested or
able to attend to this part of the work,
the Sherman law is of no value. But
nobody seems interested to inquire why
congress went to the trouble, and
wasted its time, in passing law known

IT really looks, if we may conclude
anything from President Cleveland's
inaugural, that the trusts will find
themselves in trouble before a great
while. The people generally believe
that they have no chance in congress
against banded scoundrelism controlling
large capital. Not only the trusts, but
railroads and other large corporations
have had their own way, by paying
we'll for it, as against the people, for the
last twenty years. Whether true or
not, it is certainly believed that all our
legislative bodies can be, and many
times are, controlled by money. The
recent failure to secure effective con-
troll of the liquor business in New
Hampshire is striking case in point.
