North PownaI Burglary,

S. L. Smith & Sons store at North
PownaI, was broken open Thursday
night and few goods taken away, which
were two boxes of razOrs and some shoes.
They got in at window by breaking
out two panes of glass and then putting
a hand in to move the catch. A dog was
in the the store, but was tied near the
money drawer in the post Office part.
There were few pennies IN the drawer
which were not taken, probably on ac-
count of the dog being too near it.
1t is supposed TO be the work of tramps
as it appeared that the thieves slept on a
lumber wagon under Mr.. Smiths shed.
The cushions were taken from his other
wagons and laid in the lumber wagon.
The men probably took nap there while
waiting till late hour to do the job.

THE BENNINGTON & WooDFoRD
ELECTRIC RAILWAY CO.
Special Meeting of Village Trustees
CaIIed-No Quorum.


A meeting of the Board of Trustees
was called for last evening but no quo
rum was present. The object of the
meeting, as we understand it.,
was to act upon the petition of
the Bennington and WOodford Electric
Railroad Company, asking the privilege
of laying tracks on Depot, West Main
and North streets. Permission has al
ready been granted to the Bennington
Street Railway Company, to lay tracks
in the streets above mentioned. and
should the petition of the Woodford
road be granted, these streets would be
encountered with double tracks, prac-
tically destroying them for the ordinary
purposes of highway travel. Street car
tracks are at the best an inconvenience
of no small proportions to public travel,
and Disagreement. But these facts
are gladly overlooked in the increased
facilities expected from the new road,
that will cover the village and connect
with outside territory. The road will
be benefit to the general public. Now
COIlCo ~ COl pOldJlOu WIFI IllG ItOutbU
that through certain streets they be al
lowed to parallel the tracks of the other
concern. Were there any benefits to be
derived by the people from a granting of
this privilege, the request should rect i've
consideration. But we believe that, be-
yond the disfguring of the streets, the
encumbering of travel and traffic and the
annoyance of such second tracks on these
ytr N tn ha ,,i1l1no of
large, would result in serious injury. If
such be the truth, then the question of
granting the petition can admit of but
one answer.
We cannot understand why they
should, nor do we believe our Trustees
will grant these privileges asked for by
Mr.. Martin and his company, of running
their cars during the summer months
only, to the very heart of our village for
the real and only object of increasing
the business of the Casino. For in re-
turn for the privilege of damaging and
obstructing certain streets the people
are to secure that which, instead of add
ing to the prosperity and welfare of the
village, as has been abundantly shown
by the past summers experience, will
operate rs a serious drain upon our peO-
pie and a serious damage to the interests
Uf the village.
An electric road to Camp Comfort
operated for the benefit of that resort,
no one can object to. But line oper-
ated every day and evening, Sundays III
cluded, in the interest of a resort in
Woodford, dependent wholly upon the
patronage of the village of Bennington
for its success, with every possible aid
widely advertised attraction and induce
ment for drawing from the village, is
not scheme that should receive the en-
couragement of our village Trustees.

Answering the correspondent who
asks if we advise feeding potatoes
to dairy COWS; Ne would feed them
providing the price is low enough
to warrant it. We have invariably
had good results from fe ding pota
toes to all kinds of stock, and es
pecialIy to our dairy COWS. Two
pecks per day, in equal feeds morn
ing and night, will be rather too
much, and we would advise that
our correspondent feed this amount
only when no other suculeht food
is given. We would feed somewhat
less if portion of the ration was
oil meal. Compared with corn en-
silage, eighty pounds of potatoes
contain about as much protein as
100 pounds Of ensilage. The car
bohydrate8 in 100 pounds of each
being about the same and the per
cent. ofwater in each is about equal;
out a larger per cent. of the food
nutrients is digested in the potato,
so, we would conclude that on the
whrle, seventy-fve pounds of pota-
toes are worth as much as 100
pounds of corn ensilage. We could
safely feed fifty pounds of corn en-
silage per day, as against not to ex-
ceed thirty pounds Of potatoes per
day. The protein in 100 pounds of
clover ensilageis nearly 50 per cent.
greater than in 100 pounds Of pc
tatoes, but the carbohydrates and
fat are 10 per cent. greater IN the
potatoes, SO we would conclude that
seventy pounds ofclover ensilage is
as valuable for milk production as
100 pounds of potatoes. If we are
correct, our correspondent can fig
ure out what potatoes are worth for
feed to him, and. if he concludes to
feed potatoes, the following would
be a good ration, viz: Twenty
pounds Of corn silage, fifteen pounds
potatoes, eight pounds clover hay,
SIX pounds bran, and two pounds
of pea meal. Now this may hot be
lust the ration Mr.. Swift wants to
feed this year, butt viii furnish an
exa nipple of what the ration ought
to consist. This is from my own
experience, and the composition OF
the feeding stuf1s is from the United
States Experimental Station re-
ports.

UNCLE SANS OWN FARM.
Washington City STAR

of the department of agriculture is
a very funny kind of garden, which
has just begun to sprout. 1t covers
auout half an acre, which is divided
up into ever so many rectangular
patches. OF the latter there are
$50 III all. which are sOwn with as
many different kinds of grasses.
The seeds for most Of these have
been obtained from foreign coun-
tries, through United States consuls
who have responded to circular
sent out by the department Of state
requesting them to forward samples.
In fact, they come from all over The
world, and the purpose of the gar
den described is to make a fairl y
comprehensive exhibit Of the grass;
es of all lands.
Included among the 45O species
are various kinds of forage plants.
The idea for this novel exhibit is
original with Prof. Scribner, the
agrostologist recently engaged by
the department of agriculture.
When all of the plants are fully de
veloped along toward autumn, the
garden will be very pretty to look
upon. There will even be bamboos,
which belong to the family ofgrass-
es. Adjoining the garden is Mr.. l..
O. Howard's insect rearing estab-
lishment, in which bugs of multi
tudinous varieties are bred under
glass. The latter gentleman jocu-
larly threatened to let out his bugs
to browse upon Prof. Scribners
grasses, not to mcmillan the plants
of different kinds which Prof Wiley
is cultivating in the immediate
vicinity.
Prof. Wiley has an outfit of a
very peculiar sort. 1t consists of a
shed with glass roof, out from un-
der which runs a series of parallel |
railway tracks for distance of
about 60 or 70 feet. On the rails
are miniature flat cars, which carry
huge earthen pots and wooden tubs.
In each tub is a growing plant
There are a number ofspecimens of
each kind of plant-potato, pea or
what not-each growing in differ
ent kind of soil. The purpose in
view is to find out just how much
available food is contained in var
ious soils. The soils employed have
previously been analysed. The
quantity of plant food in soil may
not determine it's usefulness for pro
ducing crops, inasmuch as it may
not be in such shape as to be easily |
absorbed.
Feeding plants is like feeding ba-
bies; the diet has got to be not mere
ly nutritious, but easily digestible.
Having ascertained by analysis just
how much plant food is contained .
in each kind Of soil, Prof Wiley
wants to know how much Of it is
assimilated in the process of vege-
table growth. The soils expert
mented with are from all parts of
the United States, and the informa-
ton obtained is expected to be Of |
much use to farmers. The days Of
farming by guess work have nearly |
passed by, and now agriculture is a
scientific pursuit. The rails and !
cars euable Prof. Wiley to run his
plants under shelter when it rains.

being added in undetermined guam
titles, would interfere with the &C

Most Delightful Lecture.

Capt. Jas. T. Bacon, who is to deliver
his famous lecture, "An Old Mans
Kranky Kaleidoscope" in the Opera
House, in this city, on Friday evening.
April 10th, is receiving very compliment
tary notices wherever he goes. The
Aiken correspondent of !. the Augusta
Chronicle says Of the lecture:
'"Tis series of "reminiscences of South
ern life from 1845 to 1895. IT'S fund of
humor and a depth of pathos. wish
that every man north of Mason and
Dixons line, who thinks the slaves were
ill-treated "befor' de war" could have
heard the touching tribute Major Bacon
paid to the old "mammy;" could have
heard his description Of her death-bed
scene, when the venerable mistress her
self was there and prayed to God to
shave mercy on the soul OF her faithful
Rachael" wish every young Southern
man and Southern woman could have
heard the lecture; 'twould make them
venerate more than ever the gallant
chivalry of our fathers and grandfathers,
and make them strive to emulate their
'womanhood of our sainted mothers. And
the Majors humor was as subtle and as
spontaneous az was his pathos sad. His
description of ball-who could have
described a tall as he did save Major
Bacon7 And who could help laughing
at his description of "the stately woman
who tried to keep her chin off the little
mans head" and 'the little woman who
tried to keep her face out of the tall mans
sleevew Aud the contrast Major Bacon
drew between that old jewel Of black
cook, "Ca'lipe," and the "Mrs. Ariminta
Georgiana Washington" who condeacends
to "try you, lady, for three days." as
cook, in this year Of grace 1898. There Is
voice which at once captivates and holds
ono and his charming word pictures OF
the days now gone make all wish they
could have lived then, while his bursts
of humor make you glad you are living
now to enjoy them. I hope that every
Southern city may have the pleasure Of
hearing this most delightful talk"
