Owing to the tightness of money the

great sacrifices of part Of their stock, to
meet their obligations. In looking
over the field of buyers, our firm was
selected as one to whom The offer was

can buy goods fully 25 per cent. less
than heretofore. Great bargains bought

The Dairymeu's Meeting.

Regretting deeply our loss, in being
unable to be with our dairymen at their
recent assemblage in Lamoille county,
we take great pleasure in reprinting, in
slightly abridged form, the excellent
paper on FOOD for the Dairy Cow"
read by our valued friend, Hon. j. o.
Sanford, member of the board of agri-
culture, from Stamford, Bennington
county. According to all accounts, from
journals outside ofthe state, as well as at
home, this meeting in "spunky La
noble twas a grand success, exceeding
in some respects any preceding ones.
Those of us who remember the small be-
ginnings and slow progression of the
earlier days of the Association have
great reason to rejoice not only in the
good it has done aud is doing, but in
its wonderful success in arousing and
stimulating enthusiasm in great and
profitable industry. This success ought
to encourage our fruit-yrowers to unite
in similar way, and to press on their
movement to like results. Fruit
growing can be made as big bushes:
as darying, if we only think so, and res
olutely take hold and make it so. There
is not better fruit-growing region or
this continent than Vermont; and or
chards and vineyards and gardens o.
small fruits ought to be far more promi
nent objects in her landscapes thar
they have ever yet been.

duced, which are larger, and highly
These we have on trial,
but are not ready to report on their rel
alive merits at present. Gooseberries
and currants do best when planted on
north or east slope. Too much sun is
not good for them. In our experience
the Fay currant, introduced by Mr..
Josselyn, above named, has done best,
and has proved very profitable. But
both gooseberries and currants must
have good culture; and the worms must
be killed as soon as they are Matched.
They hatch out on the lower leaves,
about blooming time, or a little later.
The grower must keep his eye peeled,
for it only takes these pests about two
days to strip off every leaf, and that
means no crop. There are several
broods of them in a season. The first,
coming before the fruit is formed, may
be killed with paris green; later broods
with hellebore.
The successful growth of any of
these fruits for market demands con.
slant care and attention, and also
knowledge and skill. The best book,
for the Eastern states, on fruit culture
is Thomas American Fruit Culturist,
which can be had of the Rural Publish
ing Co., Times Building, New York
City. We think the price is $3.50.

then why is he in the business at all?
1t should be our study, as intimated, to
produce at the least possible cost the
material out of which the milk is made
aud grass or hay aud corn will be our
main crops for fodder, and may follow
each other in rotation. The field that
has failed to give two good crops of hay

grass and clover, depe ndiug upon the

be done at any convenient time after
the hay crop is removed, and the ma
nure can be hauled aud spre I'd at leis-
ure. With this management, the
sprin! time will find US without the old
time rush and hurry of springs work
for there are no stuoble fields TO pillow
and fit for grain sowing. We have but
to pulVerz5 and prepare the seed bed
and plant the corn. In this method we
reduce the labor in producing our corn
and hay crops to the very minimum.

WE have known some emotional peo-
pie who would almost go off in fit of
Mysteries at the idea of dehorning
cow, and yet would let the same COW
SILVER all winter in cold stable, rather
than put themselves TO the trouble of
boarding up the cracks. And the very
same class of people will cry out with
violent emotion at the idea of keeping
a sheep killing dog tied up, "when the
poor thing wants TO run out, and is en-
titled to his liberty as much as any
body" And you can't get them to
look any farther, or to take in the idea
that this dog will surely use his "lib-
erty" to harass and STAY their neigh
boris sheep. They will pat him, and
pet him, even when he sinks home
with his teeth full of wool. We have
never got one of this class to say a
word, or hear a word, about the very
much more severe surgical operations
than dehorning, constantly practiced on
other domestic animals, with no better
reason than exists for that operation.
At the same time we shall gladly hail
the removal of horns by breeding them
off, and we believe denorning will
greatly hasten that result.

On this subject, Rural Life rightly says ::
"The affairs of country, whose popu-
lation numbers over sixty millions, need
more intelligent study than when it was
only sixth as populous. The time
has come when hard, honest thought is
necessity as well a privilege. The
old plea for educated voters must be
made stronger than ever. But the
needed education must be as liberal as
possible, and must be built on a sure
foundation of common sense"

THE shrewd and practical editor of

chord, when he says to his readers that
the livestock literature of the last two
decades has been mainly devoted to ed
ucating the public up to an apprecia-
ton of the fact that "blood will tel, >"
and now, without receding a particle
from what has been gained in that di-
rection, it is high time that the other
end of the line should be brought up,
so that the general farmer and every
body else may understand how impor-
tant a part the feeders art has played
in the creation of what is popularity
termed "good blood" and how impor-
tant part it must continue TO play in
perpetuating good hood.
