On Dec. 10th the council minutes
read: "Petition of L. G. Brand
asking that the rolls of 1894,
now delinquent, be turned over to
him for collection. On motion it
was resolved that they be turned
over to him after 60 days from
date"

Every prompt taxpayer will SYM
pathize with the city council in its
efforts to equalize the burdens OF
city government, and to force de-
linquents to come up, but when
they have elected city officials to
do the work, they expect it to be
done by them.

The present administration has
been called a business admins

Judge Newton, the daddy of the
scheme, will have fine time ex-
planning as lawyer and now as a

of an ordinance OF authorized at

Besides, the section requires that
whatever the council provides
shall be done by "Ordinance"-not
by resolution or simple motion-in
adopting the Brand proposition
they did not even comply with the
technical requirement. The whole
thing is nullity.

The above is the authority upon
which the Council based its action.

that there is not the slightest
authority given in this article Of

lection OF taxes, or to substitute
collector for the regularly elected
and qualified collector of taxes.

Lodging Not Boarding.

In one of the few letters that have
been preserved, written by Luttrell,
there are some amusing lines which
may thus be explained, The letter
was written from Dropmore to Rogers;
there had been some joke between them
about stingy friend, one of their
coterie, and Greek epigram appeared
to illustrate his miserly characteristic.
Luttrell had translated the Greek, and,
as he says: The following is as close
a fit as can make it in English:"
Cries -, in his closet once spying a mousse
Pray what business have you, little friend, in
my house"
Says the mouse with smile to the lover OF
boarding:
Don't be frightened; tis lodging / hook for,
not boarding
To which might be added in the way
OF retort courteous:
Since that's ALL replies -, ''twould be
bard to deny you
fou may lodge how you can, but to board defy

waters of true love run smooth.
1t soon became evident to him that
Luke had n more than common fancy

she went on adding, subtracting. null

heavier as the slow minutes ticlSed

blood mounted to her face and two more

Eggs All Through the Winter.

Tom Smith lately spent an evening

until bedtime, and when he got on
poultry, he said many wise things of

question, " Do you find poultry profit

more than any stock kept on the farm.

one COW, and they will give much
larger profit"
"How do you manage them,"
asked.
81 divide them into colonies of fifty
to sixty each; have warm house ten
by twenty-four feet for each colony;
these houses are lined with tarred
paper, and have plenty of windows at
the south. l have small yard con-
nected with each house, and about the
time our first bad weather comes in
November, | assert my hens, clip one
wing of each, and shut them up. put
the old hens in one house and the pull
let's in another, and l aim to sell off
each year the oldest hens, so as to hav.
only one and two-year-Olds on the farm
These hens are fed three times day,
just as regularly as my horses. | feed
in long troughs nailed up against the
sides of the house, just high enough 80
that the hens can stand on the floor and
eat out of them. 1t is easier to keep
them clean in this way.
"The morning feed is wheat, or
when | can buy that which suits me,
wheat screenings, which | can usually
buy enough cheaper than wheat 80 l
think it pays. The noon feed is al.
ways warm one, either potatoes
cooked and mashed, or finely-cHt clover

mixed through it. l find that six
quarts of potatoes, mashed fine, with
water enough added to make thin
slop of it, then quart of middlings

bushel of cut clover, with two quarts of
middlings, makes full feed for them.
The night feed is shelled corn, one ounce

HOard's Dairyman.

This publication is especially devoted
to dairy and stock interests. 1t is well
known by fame to the dairymen of
Vermont, many of whom have heard
its versatile editor, Ex-Governor w.
d. Hoard, at the annual meetings of
their association, but is not so well
known through that intimate and prac-
tical acquaintance that is acquired only
by subscription, as it ought 10 be, and
as it would be for their advantage, to
be. For the purpose of introducing
more widely into Vermont this, the
pre-eminently dairy journal of the
United States, the WATCHMAN has
made arrangements to place the Dairy
man upon its clubbing list. We urge
our farmer readers to avail themselves
of this, the first opportunity they have
had to obtain, at price that is merely
nominal, the leading publication in the
country specially devoted to the leading
interest in Vermont agriculture. The
Vermont dairymen can't afford not to
take Hoard'S Dairyman. 1t has twenty
well-printed pages, of the size now con-
veniently adopted by publications Of
this class. See clubbing list.
