A Powerful stimulant For Hair.

One of the most powerful stimulants for
the hair is oil Of mace. A strong solution
is made by adding half an ounce of oil OF
mace to pint of deodorized alcohol. On
bald spots it is best to stimulate with Il
piece of flannel till the skin looks red, then
rub the tincture into the scalp. This proc
ess must be persevered in daily until the
hair shows signs of growing, says Good

VenisOn,

In the following article from the
New York Sun, for the Adirondack re-
gion su ostitute the Green Mountain or
any other forest region of the state, and
every consideration presented will APP
ply to Vermont as well as NewYork:
"Consul'General DeKay sends from Der.
lin suggestion that the state Of New York
should undertake to supply the markets
with plenty of good and cheap venison
Many Americans who visit German cities
are surprised to find great abundance of
this food nearly all the year around, and so
cheap that few people are too poor buy it.
The fact that venison is very common ar
ticle of food is puzzling, at first, to some
tourists who know that our own deer have
been nearly exterminated, and wonder how

Preparing Land for Corr.

The Philadelphia Record says: early
in the spring the land is plowed for
corn, and for several reasons, the first
being the desire to allow the frost to
pulverize the soil and also to destroy the
cutworms. This is very necessary If sod
land is to be used for corn, as the dam
,ge done by cutworms is often such as
to prevent the making of crop, as we'll
as entailing much additional labor for
replanting. There is saving of time
by early blowing because the teams
will be busy later on. Sod land should
be plowed in the fall and left unhar-
rowed and then cross-plowed in the
spring. La some sections the farmers
work over the land with disc harrow
in the spring if the sod was turned
under in the fall, but it is better to
plow in the spring and then use the
soil. All heavy yields of corn have
been secured on land that was made
fine and put in the best possible condi-
ton for the seed. The first preparation
for corn is one-half the advantage, as it
gives the young plants an early and
vigorous growth, and increases their
capacity for securing plant wood as
well as enabling them to better with
stand drouth. 1t is customary to use
all kinds of manure on corn land, no
matter how coarse it may be, for the
reason that the corn plant is a gross
feeder, and completely covers the sur
face of the ground with a netting of
roots and rootlets, but if large yield
is desired it will be found that the bet
ter the condition of the manure and
the nearer its approach to solubility,
the more vigorous the corn plants at
the start. If the manure is unrotted
and must decompose in the soil, it will
be only when the plans are nearly
ready to mature that the manure will
begin to become available, and large
proportion will remain over until the
second year, which is no loss, but pre-.
vents its use for the crop of the first
year at time when the plant food is
most required by the crop. Cultivation
of corn should be done with the object
of giving it an early start 30 as to get
the plants ahead OF the weeds and to
afford the greatest root capacity be-
fore the dry weather of summer comes.
1t may happen that the manure is infe.
rior and affords but little benefit, espe-
cially at first. If the plants do not
have bright green color; apply 100
pounds of nitrate of soda per acre, and
the effect will be quickly noticeable
after the next rain, but if sod land is
used for corn the nitrogen will in all
probability not be lacking, but bag of
finely ground bone meal may be used.
Keep the cultivator in the field until
the weeds and grass have been COM
pletely subdued, for if this is not done
the labor applied to growing corn
crop will be partly lost, as the yield
may be reduced below the cost of pro-
duction."

"Mr. De Kay thinks II would be good
thing for New York to carry out German
idea or two in the Adirondack region. He
would have us pay great attention to for
estry, breed deer among our mountains, and
protect them from the poachers. They do
this in Germany, and, the consul-general
says, the scientific breeding of deer in the
Adirondacks might be carried on at COM
paratively small cost, and the annual kill
ing and sale OF the animals would provide an
income far beyond the aggregate salaries Of
overseers, foresters, and guards.
Whether or not we may profit by fol-
lowing Germany's example, our deer are at
least helping to improve the German stock
Among the gentlemen who, for years, have
been studying the problem Of improving the
indigenous red deer of Europe is Herr Win
crossing the wapiti, or American elk, with
the small native red deer, with view to
obtaining larger and more meaty animal
He now has eighty six half breeds, all much
larger than the German deer, and the ex-
pertinent has,proved so successful that more
wapiti are to be imported from America to
enlarge and strengthen the German deer
still further.
Mr.. De Ksy's idea is worth considering.
He has given another illustration of the fact
that in many ways we are hardly scratching
the surface OF our illimitable resources.
Wait while till our population is denssr.
Many city then will find it positively es-
sential to its water supply rgidly to guard
considerable areas against deforestation.
In these districts deer may be bred to ad-
vantage, and the herds depleted every year
to supply the markets with choice variety
of wholesome meat. Suppose we try the
experiment Of crossing the wapiti with the
Virginia deer2 We will wager the result
would make good eating"

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way TO cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian tube. When this tube is in
famed, you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out, and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever. Nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an infiamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.

FLOUR. The boom in wheat has caused
prices for -four to be generally marked up,
but little business has been done at the ad-

have advanced from 10 to 15c per barrel,

10S $50 in capital has been invested in new
manufacturing, and employment given to
5,264 persons. In view of this record it
seems hardly just to accuse Vermonters
with lack of faith in their state. What
ever may have been true in the past. be-
leve that in nearly all sections of the state
to-day, the people are taking an active in.
terest in promoting any local industry that
gives fair promise OF succeeding, and that
Vermont capital is being largely used to
build up Vermont industries. The two
largest industries undertaken during the
past year were the cotton mill at Burlington
and the furniture factory at Canaan, the for
mer with capital of $4,000 and the latter
with $4,000. These two plants, as it will
be noted, called for over one-half of the
total investment of the past year. 1t is a
matter of much satisfaction that our state
has not only been able to keep all of its es-
tablished industries in operation, but has
been able to make so large an addition to
them as the record shows, and this, too, at
time when other sections have been suf-
fering from the financial depression that
has been upon the country for the past two
years, and while the news columns Of the
newspapers have been filed with accounts
OF suspended industries, idle workmen and
suffering families. Our agriculture, though
less profitable the past year than previously,
has yet yielded good support to those who
have labored in this field, and no failure of
any Of our crops has been reported from any
section of the state. Certainly, the citizen
of Vermont, in view Of the general prosper
ity that exists here and the evidence OF
progress that can be noted on every hand,
is justified in having abundant faith in its
soil, its industries, its institutions and its
future, and in being content to live and la
Dor in field where the probable chances
of a just reward are so many and the pros.
poets of meager return so few"

Things Worthy of Observance,

IT is an art to put horse in fine sale
condition, and to show the animal to
the best advantage, and the ability to
do this is very important factor in the
success of any breeder. No matter how
well the breeding end has been con-
Quoted, the selling end is where the re-
turns and profits are realized. 1t re-
quires a man of more than ordinary
ability to successfully master both ends
of the problem.
IF horse is never struck or fright
ened in any way by man, he will never
expect any harm and you can approach
him anywhere. A horse of ordinary
good disposition is very susceptible of
good treatment, and when he learns to
expect 1t he is the fondest creature in
the world. You can walk right I'D to
him in the pasture field, and instead of
avoiding he will seek you. On William
Probasco's farm, at Pennington, there
are twenty-five or thirty colts. These
colts follow Mr.. Probasco around like
dogs, and are always delighted when he
goes among them. They love him be-
cause he loves them. Woe be to the
Farmland who. is cruel to animals on
this place.
THERE is an art in road.driving.
Some drivers will take more out of a
horse in going five miles over coun-
try road than many others will do in
going twenty miles. If a drive of
twenty or thirty miles is before horse,
start out moderately. Do not worry or
fret him. Leave all his strength, nerve
and energy to be expended going for.

not too rapidly for few miles and the
horse becomes warmed up, his muscles
distended, and he is relieved of the hay

ABANDONED FARMS NOW IN THE MAR
KET-sUMMER TRAVEL AND INDUSTRIES.
Hon. Victor l. Spear, the statistical Sec
rotary of the board of agriculture, publishes
his report of farms sold and new industries
started in Vermont during the year 1894.
The total number Of farms sold is 1873,
OF which 1856 were previously unoccupied.
The latter were distributed by counties as
follows: Addison, 8; Bennington, 10; Gale
donna, Is; Chittenden, 8; Essex, s; La
moile, 3; Orange, 20; Oileans, 6; Rutland,
10; Washington, 16; Windham, 20; Wind
sor, Al The total sales Of this class OF
farms in five years are 800, rising to 252 in
1891 and diminishing steadily since that
time 1t is not to be understood that the
number OF unoccupied farms is 900 smaller
than it was FIVE years ago. 1t is not prob
able that at any one time there have been
900 unoccupied farms. During some part Of
the past Eve years farms have been without
an occupant and when sold have been placed
in this class. The supply of this class OF
farms is, however, becoming smaller. Four
years ago, 422 were reported; in 1894, only
264. Thess reports are made by town
clerks, and are believed to be substantially
accurate. The owners OF many Of these
farms report that they are not for sale, and
the secretary judges from the answers that
he is now receiving to his inquiries that the
number of unoccupied farms in the state is
only Just about the number that there natur.

NEW INDUSTRIES.
The reports show that 81 1926 have
been invested during the past year in new
manufacturing enterprises and that employ
ment is given by them to l 1867 persons The
amount OF new capital invested largely ex-
ceeds that of any previous year since 1891
and is nearly three times the amount for the
year 1893, with more than double the num-
