Pure Mutton Sheen.

The increase Of mutton sheep in
the United States has been rapid dur
ing recent years. And the decrease
in fine wool sheep has probably been
quite as rapid. It is well that the
former should increase, whatever
view may be taken of the decrease of
the latter. Even though tariffs on
fine woods should increase, we want
the mutton carcass, for the sheep
with the good mutton carcass produces
large quantity Of wool if properly
reared. There is then the double re-
turn Of mutton and wool, whereas,
when wool is primarily sought, that
alone is the chief return. Let our
tlock-masters then grade up our sheep.
The best graded hocks can be still
further improved, and we should never
be content until improvement is car
ried so far that our flocks will be rec
ognized among the foremost in the
world for mutton uses The sheep we
send to Great Britain would be greatly
improved by giving them a larger per-
centage of the blood Of the improved
mutton breeds. Northwestern Farmer

Condition Of the COW.

Cows are now about going to pas
ture The condition in which they.
reach it determines in a large measure
the value of their summers work.
Those that have been but scantily fed
with a ration of dry food, such as an
insufticiency of hay and pieced out
with the smallest possible quantity OF
grain, are sure to give improbable re-
turns in the hot weather The herds
supplied with ensilage and grain dur
ing the winter will, on the contrary,
be profitable during the summer be-
cause they have had that amount Of
succulent food i'm their daily ration
that cows system requires The COW
fed dry food all winter is half starved,
and pasture acts as a sort of Spring
medicine for her, and therefore she
is not in shape to realize for her own
.er all the possibilities Of the change
of food that the ensilaged one will.

The Apple Tree Pest.

The prevalence of the nest of the cater
pillar in the trees around town has re-
suited in a big crop of these pests and
there are many theories advanced as to the
best plan Of dealing with the nuisance.
Burning them off is apt to injure the tree
and one man advances the opinion that the
best way SO far is to give them a good dose
of strong soap suds. Take long-handled
scrub brush like those used for washing
windows aud soak with strong suds, apply
this to the nest and it will soon lose its
hold Of the branch and come off worms
and all, when they can easily be disposed
of. Several reasons for the unusual guam.
tity of these pests have been suggested and
farmers all over New England are com
planning OF the amount of trouble caused
by them.

Black River Union of Y. P. S. c. E.

The semi-annual gathering of the Chris
tian Endeavor societies in Black River
Union held in Ludlow May Is was of in
terest and profit to all who attended.
There were about a hundred delegates
present and all must have thoroughly APP
preciated the cordial entertainment pro-
vided by the Ludlow society.
The praise service both afternoon and
evening was led by Miss Lizzie Crane of
Ludlow. The first address was by Rev.
Mr.. Harper of Weston, who has been doing
some excellent work in his parish during
the past winter, and was able to give some
good points on Especial Missionary Work. !"
He said one must be willing to work hard
and long, or they could not expect results.
One of the hardest but most essential things
was house to house visitation, but by this
means the people were reached as in no
other way. Give them taste of the Cos
pei that itmay deepen to hunger.
Two very excellent papers followed this,
one by Miss Clara Pollard of Ludlow, sub
iect '.What faith can do for u.s." and the
other Good Citizenship by Mr.. Charles
Mentzer of Springfield.
The reports from the societies showed
some good work was being done, and
those from the Junior societies being very
encouraging. AT the business meeting
Mrs. FL. c. Wright of Bartonsvile rendered
her resignation as treasurer of the union
and the vacancy was filed by Miss Anna
Lawrence of Springfield. Miss Florence
Pettingill Of Saxtons River was appointed
to represent the union at the state conven-
ton.
Many helpful thoughts and suggestions
were given at the committee conferences,
and no doubt will be worked out in many
of the societies during the summer
One of the most stirring addresses ever
given before the union was that of Rev.
James l.. Hill OF Salem, Mass. His SUBJ
lject, Team Work" was suggested by wit
Messing ball game ofunusual interest, and
he adapted his theme to the work of En-
deavorers. Every member works for the
success of the team rather than for his in
dividual interest. So it should be in Chris
tan work, we should be willing to make
a sacrifice to do that which shall advance
the whole. Turn yourself loose and let
your influence be felt, get around on youl
feet and see people, the feet are not always
consecrated.
The closing service led by Rev. d. d.
Owen was indeed conservation service
The October meeting, which is the an
nual meeting will be held in Saxtons Rivel

Growing Tomatoes.

/ presume have received more than
100 letters coming from all parts OF the
country asking for my method OF growing
tomatoes. My crop last season Of the New
Imperial tomato was, so far as have been
able to learn, the largest yield of ripe to.
matoes ever grown, and have this season
challenged the world to produce with any
other variety crop equal to it. My main
crop was grown on not the best of land !;
the plants were set AKA feet. A small
handful of Bradley's complete potato ma
nure was used to each plant, also a little
nitrate of soda (about one tablespoonful y
the vines were not mulched or raked up
in any manner, except a few that were
grown on poles, and let me say to every
one who grows only few plants for home
use by all means grow them on poles. Get
as many good, stout poles, 6 to 8 feet long,
as you have tomato plants, set them firmly
in the ground and then set the plant as
close to the pole as possible. Keep all
laterals (the sprouts tnat start out ABOVE
every leaf) pinched off. Don't neglect
this, and tie the main stalk to the poles as
it grows. The Imperial tomato will grow
feet high in this way and the fruit is al
ways clean and attractive.
In preparing the tomato for the table re-
move all the seeds and pulp; this is easily
done by cutting the tomato open and with
blunt end knife slip out the pulp and seed
The acid contained in the tomato will cal
iron and leather and should never be eaten
I wish that every person who reads this
would try growing and preparing their to-
matoes as above and l am certain they will
never go back to the old way.
Yours truly,
A. A. HALLIDAY.

Scared Out of Their Wits,

The campaign for the Republican nomi-
nation to the Vermont governship runs
along without notable incident. The pub
lie in general looks upon the matter with
rather languid interest, newspaper talk to
the contrary notwithstanding, while the
two opposing candidates and their imme-
date supporters are waging the war.
Honest Farmer CIRCUITS journalistic organs
have in the last week united in issuing en-
phatic statements to the effect that his
nomination is assured. So far as honest
belief accompanies the statement it is due
simply to the fact that the ring which has
so often won now supports Grout, and to
nothing else. But the talk mostly means
something besides what it processes to in
fact in the main it simply shows scare.
The Honest Farmer Grout crowd is un-
questionably scared half out of its wits.
Mr.. Stickney's friends are confident of
success and the Herald believes that they
base their belief upon much more definite
knowledge than the Grout folks have-but
the Herald does not believe that any hui
man being can to-day be certain that either
one or the other of the candidates will win.
The unknown quantities are too many and
too large for anything better than guesses.
1t is to be remembered, though, that the
''leaders"-the political folks who manage
things for the voters-had a tremendous
fall at Montpelier the other day. The
Herald certainly hopes that they will be
again defeated and that Mr.. Stickney will
have the nomination Rutland Herald.
